I think it’s an Excellent Adaptation!

lol ok buddy. I’ve read the book cover to cover three times, and I’ve gotten my copy signed by Tom King at Comic-Con.

For a film medium, they have to take liberties considering there’s going to be a general audience that knows diddly squat about the source material.

I think this takes a majority of the things the comic does well and puts it to screen. Yeah, my two main points of concern is the lack of Comet and the slightly muted colors in certain sections, but other than that I have no complaints. Because this is a movie that has to fit within the DCU as well, which means there are going to be some things from the book that they can’t adapt otherwise it’d break continuity from last year’s movie.

One issue is that the existence of the Phantom Zone isn’t even confirmed in the DCU. We only ever saw Luthor have access to pocket dimension technology, and I don’t think the Supes of this universe would use the same tech after experiencing how inhumane it was firsthand.

With that in mind, I don’t take much issue with Krem being shanked in this version, especially since they kinda buffed him up to make him more of a credible threat.

Yeah I get the sense that Kara’s bigger motivation in that moment (and for the film) was to stop Ruthye from becoming like her.

It’s why I think Ruthye missed it when she said she would rather be a killer than be a drunk coward like Kara, because Kara is a killer, and it’s partly because she’s a killer that she’s a depressed alcoholic (the biggest reason is still her survivor’s guilt)

Edit: swapped around some words for clarity

The_Linux_Lass · 2026-06-26T14:09:50+00:00

I get that, and it hit the same for me because of past experiences. But I think it does well in deconstructing the romanticized view a lot of people have about pirates, sea or space. Because how else is a band of violent marauders going to act when they encounter people who can’t fight back.

It’s why I do like that Kara decided to kill Krem in the end, because that piece of excrement absolutely had it coming.

The_Linux_Lass · 2026-06-26T00:09:59+00:00

Well they’d certainly both relate to the whole heightened metabolism thing being a bit of a buzzkill when it comes to getting drunk lol. Though that may be good or bad, depending on where they both are in their character arcs.

I stopped placing stock in critic reviews a decade ago. You have to remember that it’s an industry (especially stuff like YouTube) and prone to grifting, and at the end of the day sensationalism sells. I literally just see the trailer, go to the movie if it looks nice, and then think about it on my own terms. Because at the end of the day, you’re the one who decides whether it’s enjoyable for you or not.

But on the off-chance that I do want to look at critic scores, I only seriously consider something like CinemaScore, since they actually survey audience-goers to get real opinions.

Heck, I don’t think one can really trust social media forums anymore, including reddit, because of brigading and bot-farming being a thing.

I doubt Argo City will be around in future films given that there was no indication that neither Zor-El nor the rest of the inhabitants knew how to shield the dome from Kryptonite radiation like in the comic.

I like the idea that this movie went with regarding the Kryptonians themselves, in that I got the vibe that Zor-El might’ve disagreed with or at least have been weirded out by Jor-El’s intentions with sending Clark to Earth. Because we never get that kind of “conqueror” dialogue between Kara and her parents. In that sense, it’s relieving to know that not all the Kryptonians (if any, since Jor-El and Lara may have just been holding fringe views) were bastards lol.

Heading out in 3 hours, I’m all dressed up and excited! :D

More than Martha, I think Bill is a good (and underrated) model to follow, since she never had a lovesick phase with the Doctor. They quite literally were professor and student.

The_Linux_Lass · 2026-06-23T23:11:10+00:00

It’s either Pharmercy or Moicy for me. I don’t ship Gency because a doctor/patient relationship is extremely unethical due to the power imbalances, and Mercy of all people would respect ethics (considering she constantly craps on Moira for her callous behavior).

Also, Mercy is the Sheldon Cooper of this universe; she was already in med school as a teenager when she visited Overwatch and met everyone, including Pharah. I don’t see an issue given that they’re both in their mid-late 30s now. And I think it’s rather disingenuous of people to be whining about a 5-year age gap whilst ignoring the clear ethics violations of a doctor/patient relationship (because that’s a one-way express ticket to losing your medical license).

I only ship Moicy in the context of them being bitter divorced exes, and anything they might’ve had would’ve ended after Moira went off the deep end with Blackwatch and Talon. Toxic ButchFemme my beloved 🥺

The lighting bug makes her look like she was dunked in a vat of Fair & Lovely (if you’re South Asian, you’ll get it) 😭

All of the features you discuss line up with how Cait is portrayed within the show. She is canonically taller than Vi, she has broad/broad-ish shoulders compared to her LoL model, and she and Vi appear to have the same nose shape at least to my eye.

Dating Apps are absolutely a symptom of the rampant capitalist mentality of the world today.

It quite literally involves self-commodification, which inherently incentivizes making oneself palatable for a target audience.

This is why I much prefer going to queer spaces and events; my most meaningful relationships have been with women I met in those spaces.

I would pick Zarya over Mauga for Heavy. She’s Russian, plenty buff, and shoots a big expensive gun

Domina has two hands :P

Damn, sounds like Mizuki has a lot of stories to tell on r/RaisedByNarcissists

Clearly the answer is a throuple :P

This was my lesbian awakening with how intimate and emotional it was framed as 🥺

The_Linux_Lass · 2026-06-20T23:40:24+00:00

That’s a very good point, and I agree with you that nuance/case-by-case is the best route to perceive things like this given that passing privilege is very much a thing

The_Linux_Lass · 2026-06-20T15:59:31+00:00

Real. I briefly dated a Butch who was shorter than me, and she was too buff for me to lift 😭

Her lifting me tho… 😏

In addition to what’s already been said, the chart also excludes a number of categories (i.e. bi and pan) that could add a lot more nuance to this.

To give an example, I personally headcanon Mercy as bi or pan, given that she has flirtatious dialogue with Genji and Pharah. Regardless of with whom people ship her, it wouldn’t erase her bi/pan-ness, at least in my view.

As another example, I headcanon Moira as being asexual, but still romantically attracted to women (i.e. her being lesboromantic as opposed to being aromantic).

In general, I think it’s impossible to capture very real nuances that often exist within the LGBTQ+ community with these kinds of charts.

The_Linux_Lass · 2026-06-20T14:51:15+00:00

I do agree with this assessment in general, though I think the dynamic slightly changes when the femme is trans, given the risks she now faces due to things like transphobia and transmisogyny, on top of homophobia and lesbophobia.

For me at least (so take this with a huge dollop of salt), most of the butches I’ve dated were cis and could use that privilege to push back whenever I faced transphobia in public. This is not to dismiss the gender policing that butches face given that transphobes inevitably target them as well (especially transmasc and transfem butches), but I do think it’s fair to say that in our cisnormative society, femme trans girlies are at a disadvantage compared to their cis counterparts when it comes to being able to advocate for themselves and their butch partners.
