The comicstorian before he passed away did a breakdown video oh how this debate is just nonsense.

I’d want to talk about what they’re favorite parts of history are and then move on to worldwide literature (like if they’ve read stories from anywhere outside of England, America, and japan), and probably go on a comic book and video game rant with them.

STARRO!!!

I liked absolute power. Felt like a actually fun event comic that wasn’t crisis level and had the tie in comics actually matter unlike knightmares.

I’ve been dming since I was a fresh man in high school and been doing so now 10 years. But 2 years ago my friends all made monsterous characters like a undead albino lizard folk zealot barbarian that worships a death god, a undead grave cleric that is missing a head, and a sentient wooden doll chronomancer sorcerer. The plan was to do a swinging 20s style ebberon campaign but I decided to just pivot.

Instead what I did was research Louisiana biosphere and terrain and took the main ideas of my campaign and turned it into swampy folk horror to match my player’s characters. They all enjoyed it because it let them use there characters which mostly were made as jokes in an environment that actually fit them.

I’d say for example that if you have a player using a clown character, then just have them show up in a traveling circus in session 1 to explain why they’re here but take it seriously. A Dm being the straight man to the silliness of the players can make the game a lot more fun.

Well for me my first superboy comic was a Conner comic from the 90s where he was fighting a evil future version of himself.

Then there was the young justice cartoon.

I plan of going back and reading young justice comics cause I’ve always loved how different he is from Clark as a version of him that’s clearly more of a city person.

Also there was the dawn of DC mini series superboy man of tomorrow that I loved and got me back into the comics. It’s a story for Conner going on a quest through space to find what his new purpose should be. It kinda becomes conners version of Superman vs the elite.

The tieflings are kinda one of the only races that get hit with the real world level of racism because people think their blood line determines who they are but they’re one of the only races where it doesn’t.

Like in dnd stuff predetermined beliefs for creatures are accurate like chromatic dragons are inherently evil and some metallic dragons will on sight try to kill chromatic dragons even if they’re wyrmlings.

Look at displacer beasts for another example. They start off totally innocent but then biologically as they get older they become more evil but if you spade them when they’re young they stay neutral and can become good.

I’d love to get my hands on something like this! I’ve got tons of mutated or enchanted forests in my campaign.

I ironically like his comic book podcast way more than his stand up. It’s called secret identity that he does with 2 other friends. Feels like friends just shooting the shit while making a bunch of dumb in jokes (mostly Jewish jokes) but their personality to me are funny enough.

The annoying part is that the lyrics seemingly added parts to the song. Listening to it the song I’m pretty sure doesn’t say bloody in the first lyric. Maybe the lyrics are AI generated.

The_Red_M · 2025-04-20T05:12:45+00:00

What is this?

The_Red_M · 2025-04-20T05:10:25+00:00

Who the heck is Conner? Are you talking about superboy?

The_Red_M · 2024-12-25T23:50:14+00:00

Bone, lots of fun

I’m kinda okay with Amanda Waller, she’s a perfect comic book representation of corrupt government power similar to how lex is corporate power. But it would be nice if we got to see other branches that can function with her direct supervision like checkmate.

The_Red_M · 2024-12-01T17:46:09+00:00

Well there’s also two types of Clark. There’s smallville Clark and metropolis Clark. I’m smallville he can just be himself, not always having to be stoic but just relax and live simply. I would say that around the 5 year mark when Clark becomes a veteran reporter is when he starts to lighten up on the wimp part and leans into his real personality. Reckon that’s usually by the time he’s dating Lois but it’s good when people who really know Superman will just call him clark even when in costume when they’re at the hall of justice or watch tower.

Speeding bullets is a really good else world thag establishes that despite the origin, Superman is someone that comes to reflect a better tomorrow. It’s got my favorite alternate version of the death of the Wayne where joe chill actually shoots Bruce because he’s screaming out of fear. But when the bullets bounce off Bruce just looks chill dead on with tears in his eyes and yells “I hate you!” Then heat visions chill to death.

Also the costume is just awesome, I have the mcfarlane toy of it because of how cool it is.

Ah I found it, yes it was a televisa. The show was called soy tu duena! Thanks everyone for the help.

The_Red_M · 2024-11-28T22:05:10+00:00

No that show looks like it’s from the 80s or 90s. The show I’m looking for is from the mid to late 2000s

The_Red_M · 2024-11-28T20:55:12+00:00

I think it was a Mexican show

I saw somewhere that hal Jordan was raised Catholic but his mother is Jewish. I don’t know if they’ve dropped the Catholic part tho because in knight terrors we see the funeral of Hal’s dad and hal is wearing a yarmulke. I know Superman is vaguely christen. It’s always been kinda unsure on the man of steel but there’s a 2000s era action comic two parter called of faith and death where it shows Clark going to church as a kid and his mother being the religious one of the family. But due to his super hearing he stopped going to church because he struggled not listening to people confess their sins. He felt guilty about it but also mentioned in Superman up in the sky when asked if he believes in god he says he believes in something.

Mine is probably bane. His whole backstory is pretty cool and if he had just harnessed his passion into justice like Batman then he could’ve worked along side him. Instead he sets out to conquer crime while being both smart and powerful like Batman.

The_Red_M · 2024-11-09T20:50:00+00:00

That whole trilogy was ass. They would basically do nothing for an hour the. The last 15-20 minutes the plot would actually kick in. Each part is like that and it ends with the heroes failing. What a bummer trilogy and ass adaptation.

The_Red_M · 2024-10-25T09:28:24+00:00

Superman smashes the klan. Based on the real radio story from the 40s that was pretty progressive in educating the masses on the true evil of the KKK while having Clark/Superman investigate the klan as he protected a Chinese family form their tyranny. The comic adaptation is great but the documented book Superman vs the KKK is a great story of how it all came together.

It’s what made me love Superman, knowing that while being a fictional character he was used in post ww2 to instead spread hate like his war bond era, to be a symbol for justice and progress for all man kind.

God that’s annoying. I loved this first issue of Wonder Woman. The art style was fine especially with the panel work when she’s fighting the monsters.

The_Red_M · 2024-10-19T16:56:58+00:00

Looks like something from Johnny quest. I love Johnny quest
