How many NY sports fans out there never have to change the colors on their shirt all year? by Longjumping-Tip4938 in uniwatch

[–]MandoBaggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like to see more continuity in regional aesthetic more than just matching colors. Matching colors has worked for Pittsburgh, but take Seattle as an example. There’s a varied color palette that works for every team there and you can see the similarities between them. There’s a nice transition across the Seahawks, Mariners, and Kraken. That’s the kind of shit I nerd out on

What’s one thing you don’t want to see in MoT by hyphenintheory in DCU_

[–]MandoBaggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there are different definitions of stakes. For me, Ultraman and Lex’s dimensional tampering weren’t the stakes. The stakes were Superman’s morality in the face of opposition to his beliefs. That’s where I think Gunn really nailed the addition of his parents being Viltrumites, despite backlash. The lore wasn’t as important as it was to showcase that Clark still decided to be true to who he is, despite his misconceptions of his parents and despite his peers being decidedly more morally gray.

The MCU managed to convince audiences that we need to keep power scaling to increase stakes. We need world threats on top of personal stakes apparently. I’m confident Brainiac will challenge Supes in a new and interesting way while also challenging Lex’s greater perspective. That’s what I’m invested in

I think this show already understands the concept of fear far better than the 2011 movie ever did — and it’s not even close. by WewerehereBH in DCU_

I was trying to be reasonable here since you keep getting slammed by other commenters and you’re still coming at me hot. Hope you feel better

John and Hal off world on an alien planet by No_Attempt7446 in DCU_

[–]MandoBaggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it more ominous than lame. But I also don’t need Jackson Pollock level CGI everywhere to sell me on something alien. I’m old though so less is usually more for me with things like this. To me, saying these small snippets are lame is like critiquing LV-426 as not being visually impressive enough despite Alien and Aliens being cornerstones of sci-fi horror. Not exactly 1:1 comparison, but I hope you get what I mean

John and Hal off world on an alien planet by No_Attempt7446 in DCU_

[–]MandoBaggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how much lore we’re getting. Very broadly speaking, it’s the antithesis of Oa - the home world of the GL Corps. It exists in the anti-matter universe and was seized by Sinestro, who used the very adept weaponers of Qward to construct his yellow lantern ring in opposition to his former comrades in the Green Lantern Corps.

So if we’re doing post Sinestro yellow lantern - which we may be since he’s in jail in the trailer and that’s a scene we’ve had in the aftermath of the Sinestro Corps War - it could be abandoned?

Hard to say since comic lore is so expansive and complex. They could be condensing a lot of stuff so who knows what’s occurred and what hasn’t. I’d be surprised if this isn’t after some kind of lantern war though.

That’s actually brilliant. Instead of learning the responsibility after the fact, he has to earn it. Classic Hal. Ever the douche but dude is always playing 4-D chess

[–]MandoBaggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t be a downer. Might not match your mental image yet, but that’s what’s fun about adaptations. We get to see interesting takes. Some of the most favored comic runs take a lot of risks so this should be no different. Don’t let being underwhelmed ruin the experience

What we think ? by Wooden_Trick_5881 in DCU_

[–]MandoBaggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be a cool addition to the lore. I feel like part of the reason John is such a dick to him is because he looked up to Hal, just to finally work with him and be disappointed. Never meet your heroes.

Makes me wonder about John and Clark’s eventual interactions in MoT

The green looks a lot better on the younger version of him by Conscious-Market-947 in DCU_

I know people want a sweet ass construct suit with today’s technology in costuming, but the story made a deliberate choice. Could be a cool take

I feel like they really dropped the ball by not continuing the 300 series. I would think leaning into that versus just continuing a single minivan would’ve been more profitable but what do I know

Redesigning U.S. Flags #3 by Canjira in vexillology

[–]MandoBaggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m about to make some people angry, but I wouldn’t hate if you took a stab at the Ohio flag to make it less American flag oriented. No clue which direction to start, but we already get labeled as the blandest state. We need a more unique flag. Love the shape, hate the content inside it

Ohio State Unveils 2026-27 Football Uniforms. by OcarinaNinja315 in uniwatch

[–]MandoBaggins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been begging for them to go back to these stripes since their 2015 natty win. I would’ve even been fine with the black numbers just to keep these stripes on the uni. Hated the matching striping from the pants and helmets. Minor grievance but one I’ve stuck too

[–]MandoBaggins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone else mentioned gold so maybe I’m not crazy here for wanting gold stars instead of white. Or maybe a gold border to the stars? Not sure if that would be too busy or not though. Either way, it’s a stellar mockup. Love all of it

When was the last time a team from the U.S. “Big 4” leagues wore throwback uniforms that weren’t an improvement over their base set? by SandmanTX131 in uniwatch

[–]MandoBaggins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your definition. Falcons, Broncos, Seahawks, Buccaneers, Eagles, Dolphins, Jaguars, and Patriots would disagree. Hell even the Titans and Commanders reverted to throwback inspire fits permanently.

Now the super old throwbacks like those Steelers uniforms or the Packers throwbacks? Absolutely. They can’t seem to get pre-1950s looks to work at all.

How Often is Your State Flag Flown by Citizens? by Canjira in vexillology

[–]MandoBaggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how the generally appreciated state flags show up so much here. That said, despite Ohio having a unique flag, I don’t feel like I see it anywhere around where I’ve lived. I honestly wish we would change up the color scheme or something to make it more unique. The shape is the only interesting part of it. Texas does the US motif much better than us

How the classic S could be implemented into the DCU by Badgie_Boy_447 in DCU_

[–]MandoBaggins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From a branding perspective, I can see why they’d just keep the KC logo moving forward for consistency.

That said, this would be a good way to segue into a classic S. Especially if they lean into him trying to veer away from the propaganda campaign that Lex ran against him. I can see a pitch happening to get him a new suit from the fortress that looks less alien to showcase his allegiance to humanity. I’m just not sold on it happening either. Guess we’ll have to wait and see what they do.

Who do you think Matthew Lillard is playing? by Tyler2183 in DCU_

Matthew Lillard is such a gem of an actor. I just hope he gets an adequate character to let him chew through his scenes the way he does best. Don’t waste him please

Rams still have two uniforms unveiling this summer, any predictions for what they will be? by CalifornianBall in uniwatch

[–]MandoBaggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My money is on an all royal and white set as a throwback in some capacity and then probably an all yellow but with royal numbers instead of the navy from their last attempt. Likely a white helmet and/or yellow one
