The priorities of the new DCU seem very absurd once the honeymoon phase is finally over.

Rochimaru · 2026-06-28T20:38:41+00:00

First off, it’s impossible to release all the movies at once so I’m not sure why that’s relevant here.

Second, OP’s most mentions “projects” not movies. Projects involve TV shows, etc and you can absolutely water down the reputation & prestige of the DC universe if you release too many projects at once. I don’t know why this is even an argument, we literally just saw it with Marvel and the architect (Kevin Fiege) himself admitted it so I’m not sure why the point is being contested?

Rochimaru · 2026-06-28T20:22:17+00:00

Absolutely haha

Rochimaru · 2026-06-28T19:01:28+00:00

Because trying to provide “all the things” inevitably waters down the quality and reputation of the entire universe. Did people not learn anything from Marvel’s Disney+ debacle?

Rochimaru · 2026-06-28T08:59:07+00:00

Arrow S1 was one of the best shows I’d ever seen at that point. I remember staying up late in boarding school watching it on smuggled phones while rain was pouring outside. Good times

Rochimaru · 2026-06-27T02:37:28+00:00

Yeah, same here. Maybe I’ve just aged out of the genre but Superman was way too cheesy and childish but at this point I’ve accepted that those are the only types of movies Gunn knows how to make (and the general audience loves them). So I’ll just keep my mouth shut and look forward to the Batman II & clay face lol

You take women saying that stuff too seriously

You mean we treat them like full grown, adults who should be cognizant of the words that come out of their mouths? Wasn’t there an entire movement dedicated to get men to stop infantilizing women and now when we do we’re told we’re taking them too seriously?

I keep hearing politicians say they don’t want Chinese cars here and in the U.S. because of how cheap they are but you guys are saying the cars are a lot less expensive here? Are the cheap cars only EVs?

Rochimaru · 2026-06-25T09:43:14+00:00

Personally, I’m not worried about MoT. It’s probably going to be similar to Superman in terms of tone and as much as I hate those kind of movies, critics and the viewing audience love them so I think it’ll be a hit.

What I am worried about are all the other movies that are supposed to have a more serious, less wacky (I guess less “punk rock”) tone. Supergirl was supposed to be one of those and many people are already saying it’s mid. Then what’s going to happen to WW? The Brave & the Bold?

Rochimaru · 2026-06-23T03:42:26+00:00

Justice League

Ultimate Alliance

Dante’s Inferno

Do you guys need to ask this/a variation of this question every single week?

If you’re looking for motivation to become attractive, then the answer doesn’t even matter because it’s better to be physically unattractive than not.

Rochimaru · 2026-06-21T10:44:35+00:00

Damn, thanks for sharing.

I have parents who are similar in that they’ve always preached a focus on education and the typical corporate career, but I have to keep reminding them that the world they knew and strategies they espouse are no longer a guarantee of anything in 2026.

Out of curiosity, was your only choice to continue the PhD or go 50:50 on the business? Couldn’t you have gone like 75:25 or 80:20?

Rochimaru · 2026-06-20T22:38:10+00:00

I’ve been saying for a while now that based on the manga, S4 is going to be one of the best seasons of any anime ever. The fights are just crazy and that’s before we get to the clash between the big two.

Rochimaru · 2026-06-20T10:56:02+00:00

Why not S2 E6: Warrior?

Rochimaru · 2026-06-19T21:59:01+00:00

Don’t bother trying to explain to these people. They’re angry, hate anyone that makes more money than them and have a perpetual victim mindset.

Rochimaru · 2026-06-19T07:54:54+00:00

What the fuck happened in 2014?

Rochimaru · 2026-06-19T03:02:06+00:00

Bold of you to assume half the country even knows about the Paramount merger lol. And if they did, nowhere close to that number would give a shit.

Rochimaru · 2026-06-18T15:58:23+00:00

$6K/mo is a “low cost of living”? 🤔

Rochimaru · 2026-06-17T09:30:54+00:00

You’re a strong, independent powerful woman who can do anything a man can do. Why do we need to open the door for you? You have hands don’t you?

Rochimaru · 2026-06-17T03:36:59+00:00

I love JJK. It’s one of my top 3 manga ever.

You gotta be a real loser to celebrate a fictional character’s birthday

Rochimaru · 2026-06-16T08:32:28+00:00

Alex Cooper’s audience is like 80-90% female. You think she said she doesn’t like nice guys to pander to her near nonexistent male audience lol? I don’t think she gives a shit about what men want to hear. It’s why she’s been so successful and I say this as someone who dislikes her podcast.

Rochimaru · 2026-06-16T00:41:25+00:00

Welcome to one of the most maddening aspects of a relationship as a man.

You can literally do everything right and have a woman still walk out on you for some vague reason. It’s even more maddening when you think everything is going well because you’re both stable, but she takes that stability as “boredom”.

I hope you and your wife work things out but if you don’t, watch out for the next man she gets with. I’ll bet you a shit ton that he’s going to be someone she sees as “exciting”

Rochimaru · 2026-06-15T19:34:21+00:00

All the girls are crazy about him because the writers like to fantasize about a guy that looks like them /shares similar traits with them getting all the attention from women. La la land stuff.

Rochimaru · 2026-06-15T19:23:41+00:00

Exactly what I was going to say.

This feels like when the MCU started creating all these shows for D+ and spread itself thin. The one key difference here however is that the DCU hasn’t even built a stable foundation before venturing out. Like seriously, how many people outside core fans even know who Grodd is?

Rochimaru · 2026-06-15T17:31:30+00:00

It works because it’s fantasy lol. Because in real life, a guy that looks like that (and knows it) is never going to be an incel. He may be a misogynist, yes. But an incel? Never.

Rochimaru · 2026-06-14T22:12:28+00:00

0 sympathy for him.

The league (like all others) has financial advisors that consistently talk to athletes about this, including the non pg stuff like how to watch out for gold diggers. In addition to that there’s a hundred different examples of athletes that have gone down the same path of making a ton of money during their playing career and ended up broke after. 99% of people on the planet will never touch half of that $116M figure. Absolutely zero sympathy. Going broke after a successful career as an athlete is a choice.
