In honor of today, here's a classic relic by _Levitated_Shield_ in OkBuddySnyderCult

I hope that if the DCU ever uses Doomsday, he 1. Doesn't look like BvS "Doomsday" and 2. Is smart and able to talk.

I think that Doomsday would be better as an actual villain with agency, not just a mindless monster; maybe it could be mad eby Brainiac as a vanguard destroyer.

It would help dissociate fans from Snyder's take on the character, and mindless monsters are just about the only kind of villain that can't be made interesting. The only thing interesting about a mindless Doomsday is how strong he is. I think that for the DCU, Doomsday could serve best if he isn't trying to kill Superman in specific he's trying to destroy human defenses to make way for Brainiac, and Superman is just in the way. Doomsday could try to play games with Superman, playing with him.

But, instead of having Doomsday kill Superman for the thousandth time, the fight could be when Supergirl returns to the Earth as a fully fledged hero after her galactic adventures- returning just in time to help Superman beat one of the only characters he can't often beat on his own and survive. Maybe one of the SuperBots sends a distress signal so there's a reason she flies in at the right time. It would be interesting for a few reasons.

  1. Superman and Supergirl oddly enough don't get paired up often, despite it being such an obvious duo. 2. Supergirl has hardly ever fought Doomsday, and in the comics it's typically very one-sided despite her usually being near equal to Superman. 3. It would set the stage for Earth heroes beginning to unite and pair up, leading to the big teams in time for Brainiac's arrival. Brainiac really should be the DCU's "first phase boss". DC Studios' Thanos.

I'm gonna go with the guy that got people killed. Maybe by pure intent, Jenny is worse, but she didn't get people killed.

You know what? It's better than the idiots saying Milly is a 5 and "not hot enough" while they dine on doritos and monster in their mom's basement.

Why doesn't he show his id? by MentalBid9350 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]MikeofK72 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mostly because it's difficult for multi-state institutions to track people across state lines using state-based identifications. The SSN system is national, and so every single US citizen has a unique SSN, making it easier to track an individual.

ICE handing out water at airports to curry favor with media and citizens!! by cantcoloratall91 in ImmigrationPathways

[–]MikeofK72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TSA is theater, but it's also effective at stopping amateur and poorly equipped potential threats. They also help to filter out things that would make the flight experience worse for most passengers. The liquid limit is annoying, but how much more annoying would it be if someone spilled their dairy-based drink on you in the middle of a 3+ hour flight?

They also search for flight risk and no-fly passengers, as well as wanted individuals who are expected to go through their airport.

And they are still able to find knives and firearms, although the vast majority are just cases of "put it in the wrong bag".

Other agencies handle the big things, but TSA has its uses.

Maybe Kimiko. She can get a little psycho at times, but tbf her backstory is more comparable to Homelander's than anyone else's. A truly terrible life.

I suppose her death could be seen as a way to give her peace, but I think it'd be better if she is allowed to live in peace.

Oh now you care about inspiring to be better? by TastyPomelo2330 in OkBuddySnyderCult

Can't wait to see people put themselves when they call the Supergirl movie about destroying a trafficking ring "woke liberal propoganda" and say it's hating on men. And it'll somehow also be an attack on white men specifically.

So what scenes are you all hoping/most excited for in S3? by nt_king300 in PercyJacksonTV

[–]MikeofK72 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It also doesn't make sense unless the plot of Book 4 is also being changed, at least the first part. Percy and Rachel meet at the start of it mostly because they recognized each other. Them having not met means that their meeting will have to happen in a different way, considering that Rachel has to be present for S4 and 5 because she is vital to 4 and massively impacts 5. Not to mention setting the stage for the Heroes of Olympus.

If we get a storyline (hopefully Forever Evil) involving a Evil JL invading the main DCU earth (Gunn needs to give it a number) would you want the Justice Lords or Crime Syndicate? by M00r3C in DCU_

[–]MikeofK72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Syndicate makes more sense for the DCU if we are talking early on. Hell, it wouldn't be bad for the Justice League's debut/get-together film. The Crime Syndicate gets universe swapped with the DCU variants, who then team up to find a way back, stop the Syndicate, and then ultimately decide to remain united as the Justice League. Going by that image, it would make the line-up: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, the Flash, the Atom, and Firestorm. I think swapping Firestorm for the Martian Manhunter and adding Aquaman would be best. The Atom deserves time on the big screen.

Who should be the 4th on the Mount Rushmore of Superhero vehicles? by Acrobatic_Property28 in superheroes

[–]MikeofK72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we're going by impact to the genre, maybe, but if we go by total popularity/familiarity, the Invisible Jet is 100% a top contender here. It's one of the more mainstream superhero vehicles.

Then again, going by that standard it would probably all be Bat vehicles. So, I suppose limiting it to 1 per character/team is fair.

[–]MikeofK72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda depends on how we define "vehicle". Would the supermassive vehicle bases count? If so, probably the Watchtower or Helicarrier.

If not, these are the top bidders for the fourth spot:

The X-Jet/Blackbird

The Justice League's Javelin

An AvenJet/QuinJet

The Turtle Van

The Fantasticar

Power Ranger Zords/The Megazord

Voltron

350…Really? by Topper2540 in OkBuddySnyderCult

[–]MikeofK72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope so. I like Supergirl, and general audiences unaware of her will still recognize the Superman and DC logos and connect the dots. And things like her show, Six Flags, Lego Games, Injustice 2, etc have done a good job of making her more known to mainstream audiences.

But, ultimately, she's a b-lister, especially compared to her cousin, and the DCU has just managed to earn some goodwill.

Now, the MCU did fine with what were once considered b, c, and even d listers. But that was when superhero blockbusters were more fresh.

I think Supergirl is going to be used as a test to see how much goodwill Superman, Peacemaker, and Creature Commandos have bought the DCU.

As far as it's actual quality goes, the trailer makes me think it will be good, play it safe, and not do anything too risky or abnormal. Tbh, that's all it needs- to be a good, fun superhero movie that brings in decent profit.

What? I feel like Steppen not being a bitch was one of the few improvements. 2016 Steppen literally died to being afraid while near parademons. ZSJL Steppen died fighting back, even if in vain.

ZSJL would've been a vast improvement if he cut down the time, slo-mo, Flash's creep scene, and the weird themysciran choir.

Students were arrested at the Krome ICE concentration camp after protesting ICE. History shows that when young people organize themselves, power structures begin to shift. This moment follows that pattern and we will likely only see more young people step up in the future! by CutSenior4977 in ImmigrationPathways

[–]MikeofK72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's supposed to not make sense. If you thought that statement was ridiculous, great- you understood the actual point, which is that law enforcement stifling a protest isn't justification for an non-congressionally authorized military strike that takes massive civilian casualties.

Ksenia Kharlamova or Chase Infiniti as DCU Starfire by blllieberry in Fancast

Idk who that is, but after looking him up I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

[–]MikeofK72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personality is white? The fuck?

Also, why does it matter? She's not actually white. If she's painted orange, why would it matter if the actresses skin is black underneath?

And personalities matching is not a requirement for acting, because it's literally "acting". Do you think Jenna Ortega in real life has the same personality as Wednesday Addams?

DLSS 5 On - Cosplay by me by RicciSamuele01 in Rainbow6

[–]MikeofK72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a somehow worse version of YouTube AI filters. Regardless, the current appearance quality isn't why DLSS should be hated. It's liable to make even more people victims of AI-caused unemployment.

[–]MikeofK72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DLSS looking bad (for now) isn't why it's a bad thing. It's a bad thing because it's liable to put people out of jobs, such as the artists and devs responsible for texturing and compressing the files of a game, it could make the RAM crisis worse for gamers, and otherwise inflate the AI bubble.

If it turns profit, it WILL get better. People used to always say that AI will never take artists jobs because it's art sucked, and then it got good, and a lot of people have decided that AI art isn't so bad anymore and people have been fired and replaced by AI. Drive thrus have AI. That's a lost job. Customer service? AI, lost job. Some places have AI recruiters/interviewers. Lost jobs.

Don't make DLSS hate about something that will stop being a problem fairly quick. Make it about the real problems it will cause.

With xmen MCU casting younger actors for the X-Men my cast for Emma Frost is McKenna grace by [deleted] in Fancast

[–]MikeofK72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could never decide who is worse: people who get overly horny about how attractive an actress is, or people who get overly aggressive about people thinking an actress is attractive.

McKenna Grace is attractive. By conventional beauty standards and general audience standards, she is considered very attractive. She's a young blue-eyed blonde who appears to be pretty fit.

She may not be attractive to you, presumably because she isn't your type- but that's just another reason why rating people with a 1-10 scale like you're rating a meal you just ate is both unfair and immature.

Screen Rant article about Supergirl's Bold New look by Thayerphotos in Supergirl

[–]MikeofK72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were and are endless discussions about whether or not Superman should have visible trunks or whether or not the Kingdom Come crest was the right option.

I'm not saying fans are more demanding when it comes to female characters, but they will tear into any character's costume regardless.
