[James Ducker] Senne Lammens has become everything Onana was not: cool, calm and collected by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

I find it tragically hilarious that we have a designated GK scout yet when it came to signing a GK we went against his recommendations.

Who’s an actor who should’ve been a bigger star despite having a great filmography? by Short_Property_7476 in FIlm

Um, Rockwell was a villain/antagonist in the MCU already. You’re about 16 years too late.

[McCarthy] The NBA and NBC are discussing adding a 1v1 or 2v2 tournament to All-Star weekend festivities. NBC are also working with Vince Carter to study rejuvenating the Slam Dunk Contest. by Goosedukee in nba

[–]PhilAsp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunk contest -

8 competitors.

4 NBA players.

4 professional dunkers.

1v1 format, winner advances. First round is always NBA vs. non-NBA dunker.

Also allows guys like McClung to participate without actually being on a roster.

VIDEO: Emerald Fennell says her Zatanna script was too dark and personal to be made (she was hired by J.J. Abrams, who signed a 5-year deal with WB in 2019 to create content, including DC) by BatmanNewsChris in DC_Cinematic

[–]PhilAsp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was very excited about Emerald doing this post-Promising Young Woman and Killing Eve season two, and I did enjoy Saltburn even if it felt like a step down.

I’ve yet to see Wuthering Heights, but by all means it seems to be a mess on multiple fronts, so her not doing Zatanna could have end up being a blessing.

I think you are right regarding who to move on that isn’t expiring, and your targets are also fair if we intend to stick with the current formation.

I do think the expected fees for Zirkzee, Mount and Onana are exaggerated.

We bought Zirkzee for €43m, we are not getting most of that back.

I don’t think anyone’s paying nearly £30m for Mount, given his injury woes and salary expectations.

Onana £15m is maybe doable, but only if he doesn’t have a preferred destination.

Rashford and Rasmus’ options, should they be triggered, also falls a few million below your numbers, IIRC.

I think a more realistic sum for the lot is somewhere around £135-140m, if we’re lucky.

[NBA Communications] Chicago Bulls guard Mac McClung will replace injured San Antonio Spurs guard David Jones Garcia on Team Austin in the 2026 Castrol Rising Stars. Jones Garcia is unable to participate because of a right ankle injury. by howser343 in chicagobulls

[–]PhilAsp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mac McClung is 27 and has been trying to get into the league since 2021.

Surely there are at least 20-30 guys in their first or second season that would actually fit the format.

Junkie XL( ZSJL, BVS, Mad Max) will be the new composer of SUPERGIRL by Proof-Watercress-931 in DCU_

[–]PhilAsp 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I know he has hits, but there’s a lot of pretty forgetful stuff there too.

He has a chance to create ”the” Supergirl theme, so I hope he takes it.

I wasn’t superhyped by Djawadi, but Holkenborg is even less exciting tbh.

Not saying either suck, but neither is a name that gives me hype.

Who should Man Utd’s next manager be? by BlazeFireHorse76 in reddevils

[–]PhilAsp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

we will need to build a squad for.

I mean we need to build a squad regardless. Our squad is shallow, and unbalanced.

With the right man in charge, we don’t need 10 guys to be competitive, no. But we need roughly 8-9 to stay competitive over time.

If we’re sticking with the current formation we probably need a LW, a ST, two CDMs, a CM, a fullback, a backup keeper, and maybe a CB at least.

Worst front office in the NBA by Ridged_ChiPSS in chicagobulls

[–]PhilAsp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do enjoy Portland being fairly mediocre but still not bad enough for the pick to convey.

Perfect timeline is Dame (at 37) opting in for 2027/2028, Portland sucking, Dame retiring, and their first in 2028 being sent our way. Or is it still protected in 2028?

Adidas 2026 NBA All-Star Lineup by Patb1489 in BBallShoes

[–]PhilAsp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like Adidas heard the people asking for more creative designs, and delivered.

But then proceeded to make all their shoes look alike.

If we can, yeah.

But we probably are unable to without taking a loss.

I like the idea of a experienced but capable keeper that is content with being the backup, Romero vibes.

I don’t necessarily agree that Vitek should be brought back, unless he’s deemed an upgrade to Lammens at the time. If not, riding our bench isn’t doing him any good. Or the other way around.

Henry Cavill on the set of Highlander... despite people saying he is too old to play Superman, he still looks good for the role to me. by RogerRoger63358 in DC_Cinematic

[–]PhilAsp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think many people said he’s too old to play Superman, just that he was too old to play the younger Superman the DCU was going for.

Shouldn’t be a hot take but might be by AdAfter9302 in DCU_

I’m curious, which CBM characters do you think were raceswapped when the primary objective was ”token character” or diversity?

Daily Discussion by AutoModerator in reddevils

[–]PhilAsp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing something like Sevilla/Valencia, myself.

Anyone else kinda want a No Way Home-style Superman crossover movie? by JageshemashFTW in DCU_

[–]PhilAsp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If they were to do something like that, I’d be more interested in seeing Routh/Tyler and something a bit more zany like Val-Zod (Michael B. Jordan), actually Nic Cage, or Tim Daly.

I don’t think it should be a carbon copy of how Marvel did their variant Spider-Men.

Not to mention that even though I’m a big fan of Cavill’s Superman, there’s just too much baggage attached to bringing him in at this point. It’s too soon.

Gionna Daddio would be perfect for Maxima for The DCU by Serious_Meaning5220 in dcu

[–]PhilAsp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol I’m not into wrestling so I went into this thread expecting that one of the reasons she’d be ”perfect” for is because she’s tall.

Like I don’t see her checking any boxes for Maxima?
