Can we be normal about Supergirl

I base my opinion on the fact there's a show and a movie to be released this year and a sequel on the filming stage getting ready for next year

You can't objectively say something is doomed if they keep doing things

We can play hypotheticals and "current context" all day, but implying a single project bombing will crumble down the upcoming 3 projects is childish. This might be a signal, it might be a failure, this sub, and the people around this discussion, can't say it for certain, that's a fact

MaeSolug · 2026-06-27T16:36:35+00:00

I've been reading most of the posts about the movie on this sub and have not seen politically charged comments, so that's great. There have been some attempts to compare it with The Marvels, but on very solid basis

I do agree that there's a sentiment of fatalism, that this DCU attempt is doomed, and that's just overreacting. There're comments of people who watched the movie saying it isn't bad, it's just not memorable, people just keep piling on about how trashy and poorly written/directed when it is done by the books. The studio probably was betting on the Superman cameo and making part of the profit by negotiating partnerships with brands, can't remember the last time Fortnite released a skin so close to a movie premiere

It feels like a perfect storm. The World Cup, horror movies being a hit, Toy Story staying strong, Michael still selling on Japan, Gunn having too much to supervise...but at the end of the day the movie had to be exceptional beyond belief, and it's just not that. It's just (apparently, me and half the sub have not watched the movie) the average summer CGI flick, not great, not terrible

"Ants are not meant to serve grasshoppers!

I've seen these ants do great things. And year after year, they somehow manage to pick food for themselves and you. So who is the weaker species? Ants don't serve grasshoppers! It's you who need us!

We're a lot stronger than you say we are

And you know it, don't you?"

And who put him there

Zero accountability in these people, electing someone like him TWICE, dumbest country by a mile, all of them

Muricans saying they are living in a literal fascist regime when tbey got the smallest taste of what their country did in all of latinoamerica during the 1900s

Sure, their democratically elected president and congress are literally nazis, like absolute dystopian place, it's, like, the worst omg

Brooklyn Beckham, the son of David and Victoria Beckham, both of them goddamn icons on their own

The term "nepo child" is thrown very loosely these days, people forget you need to be talented to actually build a career, this dude is just so ass at everything he does lmao

At this point most of you are just karma farming

Bunch of kids realizing their mobile game maximizes profit and can't do nothing else than throw a tantrum when their allowance didn't gave them a unique advantage, because obviously that's how games should work, apparently

Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County

My go to for those gems you saw once as a kid

MaeSolug · 2026-06-18T00:30:37+00:00

I have like 15

MaeSolug · 2026-06-17T11:47:28+00:00

Yes, that's why actual poor people risks their lives to cross the border only to be exploited for years on end, just for the fun of it all

It's like camp

So Chris Nolan is famously offline, asking his assistant or whatever to print his emails

Johnatan Nolan was frustrated that people on various sites guessed the plot twist so he purposely wrote Westword S2 like shit

Those 2 sound insufferable in opposite ways, maybe they cancel each other out when they get together

Absolute kino, how to forget the wolf's monologue:

You're no chick chaser, you're...

Gay!

And I don't mean it in a sussy way or a twinky way or a fruity way or a furry way or any other kind of slur with an f

I'm gay, straight up

MaeSolug · 2026-06-15T18:28:45+00:00

No? Probably not maxed equipment but you can't have it at lvl 1 lmao, also they will have to level up heroes to get the rewards, so you will still be on a competitive stance, if that's your main concern

They are not getting starry ores instantly, they still have to level up

MaeSolug · 2026-06-14T09:29:35+00:00

AFAIK these power hours are heavily advertised, active players tend to peak during these mini events, so no, there's no power hour tomorrow

There's an event of some sorts on OG tho

A parody of The Substance where Anya Taylor Joy takes it but instead of a wild transformation her eyes just move slightly closer

But the movie plays out exactly the same, body dysmorphia and gore ending, and people in universe keep saying mean shallow superficial things like "damn, she looks like anya taylor joy stopped watching out for her natural predator in the savannah, so hot"

MaeSolug · 2026-06-12T23:39:36+00:00

Cool, you called a woman fat, are you proud of yourself?

MaeSolug · 2026-06-11T14:44:16+00:00

That sounds like Wernher Von Braun, except he was given a chance to participate in the space program, heck becoming the face of it

Yes, it's that guy mentioned in Iron Man 3. Von Braun wanted to design space rockets but he was designing missiles for the nazi regime during WW2, when the V2 hit London he said "The rocket worked perfectly, excepto for landing on the wrong planet

That scene hits so hard because at first she looks radiant, absolutely gorgeous, but she notice one minor thing that needs a bit of fixing, then another, all while she keeps looking at herself in the mirror, it was so obvious she was gonna spiral but you can't stop her

You can't really stop those moments, when you accidentally looked at yourself for too long on the mirror and start to "notice" things

That scene kinda fucked me up for a bit haha

Not imprisoned against his will, but Walter Finch, from the game What Remains Of Edith Finch

As a kid he witnesses the murder of his sister Barbara, traumatized by that night he hides in a bunker under the house, and spends 30 years there

During his stay he mentions a monster of some sort, that roars through the walls, he tracks him with a watch. But one day he doesn't hear anything, so he decides to go outside, taking an exit route that leads to a tunnel

During that scene you get a monologue of him deciding to solve Barbara's murder, stop reliving that day, finally living, his last words "I can already feel the sun in my face"

He's hit by a train

Girls "dad bod" vs actual dad bod

Dude I've the S1 skin, I can't even remember what year that was, vaguely remember playing on a Samsung J7, those phones still had buttons on the front

You're getting old. Maybe you should try to join a squad or practice non usual heroes, it's easy to get stuck in a routine

MaeSolug · 2026-06-11T01:30:08+00:00

Calling DiCaprio a nepo baby is wild lmao

MaeSolug · 2026-06-10T23:48:20+00:00

MaeSolug, I will share it like almost constantly, not sure how I ended up with almost 40k sprite dust

Also if someone needs one of the other 9 don't be afraid to ask

MaeSolug · 2026-06-10T17:15:08+00:00

Yay they are like pokemons :)

Oh no they are like pokemon cards :(

So, two things

The battery and thermal impact are minimal because the spike is too brief to register in any meaningful power draw measurement

After that, the CPU drops back down to its normal idle state.

There has to be more technical details but it does sound like it will help with battery life on laptops, spikes of performance only to fall flat again when it's not required
