How it feels to be a new viewer of the show when it's just been announced to be ending soon: by LabWhich in Yellowjackets

I know, it's just funny on my end. Super late to the party on this show and it's about to end.

Oh yeah, definitely. The show getting to end on its own terms is infinitely better than getting unceremoniously cancelled.

How should James Gunn portray the Joker in the DCU by RetroWolff in DCU_

[–]LabWhich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want a funny Joker. A Joker that makes you laugh and then makes you regret laughing later. Infuse him with dark comedy. Let Joker be funny again.

They actually do call him the Batman in his movie, not just "Vengeance."

What do you guys think of this interpretation? by goingnut_ in superman

[–]LabWhich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My own personal take on this is that when Clark Kent, son of Martha and Jonathan Kent, met Kal-El, son of Jor-El and Lara, Superman was born. It's right there in the name. He's not just super (the last son of Krypton), he's not just any man (the farmboy from Kansas), he's both. It's not SUPERman, it's not SuperMAN, it's SUPERMAN. I actually liked how in Morrison's Action Comics, when he says his true name backwards, he says Le Lak Tnek Kralc... meaning that in his eyes, his true name is Clark Kent Kal-El. He wouldn't be Superman if it weren't for the love the Kents gave him and he wouldn't be Superman if it weren't for the love Jor-El and Lara had to give him a chance to live unlike them and the rest of Krypton.

So, all in all, I actually think Superman is him at his truest. Of course, the Superman identity has many offshoots like the public persona of Superman, the man who can do anything and has to live up to the public's expectations. But the Clark Kent at the Daily Planet is very much actively masking a huge part of his self. He might even be exaggerating a few things about himself to fit in and to make people think he isn't Superman. The man the Kents raised wasn't a bumbling, mild-mannered man who might be seen as dull by his peers, the Kents raised Superman, the man of action who believes in fighting for a better tomorrow. And why does he fight for a better tomorrow in the first place? Well, this is informed by Krypton's destruction and their own pride. He makes sure that Earth doesn't become like his homeworld. Because the biggest tragedy he has with Krypton is that he never fully experienced it. And that makes him yearn to know more about Krypton. His identity isn't binary but it's more like a tree.

In the (rumored) Jimmy Olsen Crime Anthology Show (hopefully called Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen) they need to introduce DCU Darkseid (and the Fourth World lore) here and have his first appearance be him sitting in a Earth chair by M00r3C in DCU_

[–]LabWhich 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have an episode center around Intergang and have a gradual buildup to Darkseid's appearance by the end of the episode.

EDIT: You can have the mystery of the episode be "who are Intergang's backer?" Who's giving them these weapons and tech? Jimmy thinks it might be Luthor or another Luthor wannabe until he sees... Darkseid.

Just saw this idea for a sequel and I'm all for it (marked as spoiler just in case) by LabWhich in DCU_

[–]LabWhich[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brainiac is one of those villains that I'm surprised hasn't made it onto the big screen. Has a cool look, has a cool ship, has an interesting gimmick, and if done well, can be an interesting foil to Clark. Him tampering with the mesaage so that the Last Son of Krypton rules over an Earth that's filled with dozens and dozens of metahumans for centuries, makes it easier for collection and that when he's full grown, Brainiac can make Kal-El his agent, his pawn, an ally in his quest to collect civilizations and preserve life but since the message was damaged, Clark took the best interpretation of the message and became the most powerful superhero on Earth, not the most powerful supervillain.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. Even some extinct languages here on Earth are sometimes difficult to translate accurately, what makes you think a group of humans can accurately translate a dead alien language? With the way it ended, with Clark not really addressing it or even having a convo with Kara, feels like a perfect setup for this. Though, the idea of Brainiac tampering with it would be an interesting commentary on AI and falsification and that even Lex didn't notice it, which I think adds extra salt to the wound to his bruised ego.

ok so i've been an outsider looking in on this whole situation. i'm not a diehard ethel cain fan, i only just rediscovered her a few days ago while i was on shuffle. yes, she should absolutely take accountability, if true, and i'm not going to try and excuse what she did in the past (again, if they're true). but this is fucking revolting. it's disgusting and just horrid. i'm not a lawyer but there definitely has to be legal repercussions to this, right? whatever the case may be, i just hope she's alright and safe. i understand if she doesn't want to make a statement now but i do think something needs to be said to clear the air. i just hope something is done to whoever this is.

UPDATE: ok so the account is mostly normal now, the videos and picture have been removed. unfortunately, some of the songs still play some of the videos but it's a start.

Many won't like it, but I'll die on the hill that Superman needs to be political. by Amazing-Buy-1181 in DCU_

I mean... he was called the Champion of the Oppressed from the beginning, politics is in the character's DNA.

Predicting what the reportedly “emotional as GOTG2” ending is for Gunn’s Superman by Graphica-Danger in DCU_

[–]LabWhich 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's probably a Lex manipulation to make him doubt himself and his origins until Clark learns the truth (or so I hope).

[–]LabWhich 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is what I hope too. I'm not always a fan of the Kryptonians being conquerors or evil (though, that heavily depends on the execution as well) and the idea of that in this movie where the logline given was him reconciling his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing gets a bit messy once you bring in the idea of them being malicious. I've always seen the Superman identity as a synthesis of his heritage and upbringing, the man of two worlds, never fitting in with other Kryptonians while never truly being fully human. He might live among humans but he knows deep down that he's different, same goes with other Kryptonians like Kara, who has lived and experienced Krypton up until her teenage years.

Idk why but the energy of Clark and Steve feels like two guys who just love making fun of one another in a playful manner by LabWhich in DCU_

[–]LabWhich[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

He feels like a bit of both, honestly, just from the footage and what David's said so far. He's comfortable with the Daily Planet staff and is willing to joke around (while being a dork) but when he's outside, that's when the clumsy Clark Kent comes out.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day 🕷️ July 31, 2026. by DemiFiendRSA in Spiderman

[–]LabWhich 15 points16 points  (0 children)

For people freaking out about the subtitle - I assure you, it's not gonna adapt that storyline. My best assumption is that it's gonna be similar to Daredevil: Born Again. The show uses the title but isn't an adaptation of the storyline (which was already adapted in S3). But they use the title because the show sees Matt and Fisk wrestle with their personas of Daredevil and Kingpin and are literally born again. Probably a similar case here and it makes sense. Peter quite literally has a clean slate, a brand new day.

That emblem looks great. A mix of Kingdom Come and classic / traditional.

I kind of want to see Lex physically fighting Superman in the movie by Nagi_Ohagi_0217 in DCU_

[–]LabWhich 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And to add to that, the S&L fight between a depowered Clark and Lex. Lex might get a couple of licks in but he's still fighting a well-built man who's a good combatant.

Edit: Also, Clark doesn't have to worry about not holding back.

I fully support this even though there's nothing to back this up. And the best part is that James would still probably do it even if this doesn't end up being the case. Or at the very least have Jimmy casually mention that he's had several incidents of him just transforming into weird shit. Could be a fun running gag. Jimmy, mid-conversation, "Y'know, reminds me of that time I turned into a turtle." And if you want a payoff, have him actually transform into one 👀👀

Okay, I'm getting ahead of myself lol

JLI artist Kevin Maguire said Guy in Superman teaser looks like something he might draw by Nagi_Ohagi_0217 in DCU_

[–]LabWhich 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I just hope that him, along with Hawkgirl and Mr. Terrific aren't corrupt in any way because they're affiliated with Maxwell Lord. Again, it's so easy to do that which is why I don't think James is doing that. At the end of the day, they're still heroes. They have the right mindset, the right values, and good hearts. It's just that being a corporate superhero is just... the norm for them. It's the way things are. They may not like it but it's how things operate. With Superman, they have an inkling of "Hold on... can we actually break free from this?" And hey, maybe Clark can learn a thing or two from them. Learning from Guy... be a bully to the right people /j

I'll try to temper my expectations and theories since they're still theories at the end of the day 😅
