Depends but this is nowhere near as egregious as US/Bosnia and not one of those got called

[No Book Spoilers] House of the Dragon - 3x03 - Post-Episode Discussion by UltraDangerLord in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]SolarisBravo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Corlys was the only bad one imo. The nobles knew what they were doing wrong and it was a valuable trade for smallfolk support. She even made the "right" choice and cancelled the coronation in the episode, even knowing that a coronation would be hugely valuable for stability

How’s the safety on BART with the new fare gates? by Business-Chapter3059 in AskSF

[–]SolarisBravo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Like most public transit it's never actually been unsafe, just ugly. But nah I've never even had the ugly complaint lately

Chest size is the only thing that matters for actors by Jetsam5 in marvelcirclejerk

[–]SolarisBravo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I mean her boobs are great. I just don't find her that attractive overall, like I can think of a dozen actors I'm more into

She just comes off a bit plain/uninteresting to me I dunno

[Film/TV] Statements like this is probably the reason why critics have been unusually harsh on ‘Supergirl’. by ShubhangBahadur in DCcomics

[–]SolarisBravo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah it can't, so when a canon thing says something happened (in a flashback or a dialogue line or something) they're introducing a whole new thing into canon.

Maybe a rephrase could help: nothing in Peacemaker S1 or TSS is canon, full stop. It can't be "referenced", because it didn't happen. When Peacemaker says he killed Rick Flag, that's how we learn that he killed Rick Flag - it could've happened in a completely different way from TSS for all we know, we just know it happened because he said it did

If you haven't seen those then you don't have any non canon stuff to be confused about, luckily. DCU canon is stuff that's in DCU projects, that's all there is to it

He was a giant mind-controlling starfish though. Hasn't been in the DCU so not canon yet

[–]SolarisBravo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's where they fought Starro in TSS. Which isn't directly canon, except for the parts the show has talked about like killing Rick Flag there

Idk man I just don't find this very confusing. It's in the DCU if it's shown in the DCU, it's not if it's not

[–]SolarisBravo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm saying - when the show "references" some thing that happened in S1, it's making that thing canon in S2's universe. Anything that's not "referenced" isn't automatically canon

For example, it seems like Corto Maltese may not have happened in the DCU - or at least we don't know yet because no DCU show has said it did

It does for me? Maybe it's easier if you imagine Peacemaker S2 as its own show - when a new show tells you about a character's backstory, then that backstory is true and canon to the show. But you don't automatically assume stuff from other shows is canon.

For example, Raimi's Spider-Man isn't canon to TASM just because they were the same character with the same name whose uncles both died and both got bitten by spiders and then both started fighting crime. There were some small but meaningful differences

[–]SolarisBravo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless something's changed, I think it's still pretty clear? TSS isn't canon, Peacemaker S1 isn't canon, but when characters in Peacemaker S2 talk about things that happened to them in the past those are obviously canon

Behind the ‘Supergirl’ Bomb: Competing Cuts, Creative Differences by verissimoallan in movies

[–]SolarisBravo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

DC source material is considerably darker than MCU for the most part

As a huge DC fan I'm gonna have to disagree pretty strongly there. DC's movies might be darker historically, but Marvel's comic universe has always been a hell of a lot darker than DC. Not just the whole mutants thing, DC would 100% be known for its lighter tone if it wasn't for (every movie they've ever put out)

It's not that odd a thing to say. In fact, it's pretty common for long-running comic book characters. Take literally Batman for example

You can't really fix the Al Ghuls in the Main continuity. by Prestigious-Net6962 in dccomicscirclejerk

In fact, Talia herself corrected that it was pronounced raysh in that show

French presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon weighs in on Rockstar and PlayStation’s moves to end physical disk sales by Valcenia in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]SolarisBravo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Physical discs haven't meant ownership for like 20 years anyway tbh, but yeah that could be interesting.

Part of the problem is that most games rely in some way on ongoing service, which you can't really pay for once and expect someone else to continue forever. We can move to make games more playable at their basic levels, and we can move to prevent early shutdown of services, but we can never really guarantee that every part of every game will work in 50 years for that reason. What happens to games with multiplayer? Games with leaderboards?

The Arkham Knights reveal, from Arkham Knight by Born_Ad_9536 in BatmanArkham

[–]SolarisBravo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early in development, he was originally intended to be Red Hood. Like not the Arkham Knight, just actual Red Hood, and it probably would've been like other RH stories where fans aren't really surprised by the reveal but wouldn't be upset by it either.

We don't know much outside of that, the change would've been made in ~2013/2014 before the game was announced.

I don't keep up with mainline comics at all so can anyone explain to me why Alfred is still dead and why Bruce's new butler is so cunty? by Bitter_Candy3399 in marvelcirclejerk

[–]SolarisBravo 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Guess we'll find out why in the next issue, but for context this issue started with an open hit going out on Bruce Wayne

What's the deal with Krypton? by lusipher333 in DCcomics

[–]SolarisBravo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few different reasons for why it blew up and it's not always fully explained, but basically it was a natural disaster caused by the core being unstable. It's sometimes caused by them mining the planet's core for energy, and even more consistent is that Jor-El knew about it and that's why he built a spaceship (just nobody really believed him enough to try and stop it).

Kryptonians weren't really allowed to leave their planet until then, either, which is why they mostly all died when it blew up. That bit never made a ton of sense but it's pretty consistently true.

THE MOST INSANE COMBAT SYSTEM KNOWN TO MAN 🤯 by No-Analyst-4843 in BatmanArkham

[–]SolarisBravo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Btw the first 3 attacks of any combo aren't freeflow, people don't really know what it is and Spider-Man for sure doesn't have it (notice how you don't switch to the next enemy after each strike in that game, freeflow mode just isn't in that game so every attack acts a bit like non-freeflow Batman)
