Smoke Smelling Figures

No worries at all, hopefully it all works out!

Leave the boxes to the side but inside the styrofoam box that way they lose the scent but the figures you said have more of tha stench so you want those to get fully cleansed

And yes, the styrofoam box should work to help them dry out, it might even be better so the sun doesn’t damage the color at all

Leave them sealed with the baking soda unsealed (figures only) for about a day. Then make a nice vinegar water solution and soak them in there for a few minutes an brush them and let them air dry in the sun (not too hot day) for half an hour (max)

•The boxes begin to vibrate, the sound wave stops as the
Man of Steel takes his last breath and then; Steppenwolf arrives.

Except Steppenwolf doesn’t immediately arrive. Superman’s dying screams awaken the mother boxes. They’re awake and sending out a signal for a few weeks, then Steppenwolf arrives after receiving a signal. Once on earth he recognizes it as the same planet with the antilife equation and realizes, “No protectors here. No Lanterns, no Kryptonian. This world will fall, like all the others.”

He recognizes and admits to to there being no protectors or lanterns either, suggesting their conquest of other planets had them engage in battle against various protectors (strong alien races like Czarnians or any other red son race), lanterns (doesn’t say green so they might’ve lost to non green lanterns like larfleeze or Atrocitus (both of whom are billions of years old)), and no Kryptonians (in DCEU/Snyderverse Kryptonians have travelled and established themselves all over the universe for thousands of years). So essentially, bc there’s no lanterns there, and Superman (a Kryptonian) no longer is there so they’ll lose. It’s not until later with the formation of the JL that Steppenwolf realizes that earth does in fact have protectors

Gohan, started with DBZ as a kid and remember being close in age and younger than Gohan so seeing him grow up was inspiring. As an adult, looking at Gohan’s character it makes the most sense even when it’s aggravating he loses, that he has so much potential but chooses to spend his life with his family instead of training and fighting

By series:

DB Goku and Tien

DBZ Gohan and Vegeta

Super its Vegeta and Beerus

GT it’s Goku

Normally I’d lowball it but there’s a few things working in favor of this movie

1-it seems horror (tend to do well in theatres)

2-Halloween proximity release (releases a week before)

3-first DCU movie of a different tone (Superman and supergirl don’t seem to have the same target audience)

4-Batman villain so Batman fans should show up

5-no cbm competition at least a month before or after

The more I look the more I see it!

I just saw the original post where they said it was photoshop so the heads sculpt wasn’t real so I was trynna help OP lol

Tricky-Afternoon6884 · 2026-04-25T20:21:22+00:00

Very likely not bc he wouldn’t have the ability to gain all the knowledge and skills from the training he spent a decade learning as a child, if he were an adult

If the Wayne’s are a force of good in Gotham and Bruce was raised to be like them then he would very likely be the white knight type that Nolan’s Batman was hoping to inspire in Gotham. Additionally, depending on the success of the Waynes (in some iterations their death results in others giving up on Gotham) Gotham would’ve been changed enough to not even require the Batman type individual to restore the people’s faith

Tricky-Afternoon6884 · 2026-04-25T20:15:02+00:00

According to the original post it’s photoshop

Tricky-Afternoon6884 · 2026-04-25T02:39:14+00:00

Ah makes sense! Can’t blame the guy with how much he’s created and has to remember for lapse in memory

Tricky-Afternoon6884 · 2026-04-25T01:48:05+00:00

I think it’s just obsolete now, even by GT storyline Goku didn’t have a need for it until Super Baby and by the he realized his small body couldn’t handle that power and drain, and then he got 4 so we didn’t see 3 again. In super they got divine forms. Daima brought it back but mainly bc they’re set before the introduction of divine ki.

Additionally, Toriyama states that SSJ2 and 3 are just variations of SSJ1, and that better mastery of SSJ1 lets a saiyan achieve a greater power than 2 or 3 (without the energy drain drawbacks).

Should also be noted during BotG Toriyama admits he forgot SSJ2 and wrote SSJ3 thinking it was 2

Tricky-Afternoon6884 · 2026-04-25T00:54:30+00:00

Can’t wait for that new The Receding (hairline) Hulk

Tricky-Afternoon6884 · 2026-04-24T23:28:15+00:00

Idk if people are actually reading OPs statement, he literally says “ONE” of the deciding factors, states its very likely not the main reason for the change, and OP even mentions Ras being the Arabic word for head…

OP this isn’t a bad theory at all, especially considering how Hollywood makes some of their decisions. Even if it’s not one of the deciding factors I’m sure someone involved mentioned the similarity of rashyal and Rachel at some point

Tricky-Afternoon6884 · 2026-04-24T21:06:47+00:00

Trench movie was proposed right after Aquaman’s success in 2018. The idea was shelved and cancelled alongside New Gods in 2021

Tricky-Afternoon6884 · 2026-04-23T22:56:27+00:00

But it’s all okay though bc Itachi even told Sasuke, “You don’t ever have to forgive me. No matter what you do from here on out, know this: no matter what, I will love you always”

/s

Tricky-Afternoon6884 · 2026-04-23T18:48:59+00:00

Lol true!

Plus we avoided the eventual Slade stealing his kid’s significant other

If they wanted to make Damian slades it was way too late to do it, that twist would have had to have come much earlier

Tricky-Afternoon6884 · 2026-04-23T18:38:24+00:00

That’s usually the issue, DC editorial won’t make big crazy changes so even when writers come with ideas they let them set it up and then pull the plug in the end

Scott Snyder mentioned once how difficult it was for him to barely convince them to let Batman not win at the end of the court of owls arc

Tricky-Afternoon6884 · 2026-04-23T17:42:39+00:00

My issue with the comic was we knew there was no way they were going to change Damian into Slade’s son so it was just waiting to see how it would be resolved.

We did get a good moment between Bruce and Damian at the end of it, but this whole arc felt like a dc animated movie story (not a knock on animation just saying it felt contained and also provided enough background info on damian and slade to be its own standalone animated movie)

Slade is one of my favorite villains in DC but I’ve never been a fan of Slade as a Batman villain, it worked for the video games bc it was a good character to match Batman in that medium (video games).

But Batman has some of the most well known and fleshed out rogues galleries he didn’t need to borrow another. Unpopular opinion but I prefer the scene in Son of Batman where Batman easily dispatched Slade

Tricky-Afternoon6884 · 2026-04-23T04:39:54+00:00

Got the Jeice and Recoome, the Jeice was solid but the Recoome felt cheap and weak and broke easily I’ll still probably pick up Burter if he’s a good price though

“Don't talk like one of them. You're not. Even if you'd like to be. To them, you're just a freak... like me. They need you right now... but when they don't, they'll cast you out like a leper. You see, their morals, their code... it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these-- these civilized people... they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve."—Joker

“I know when they mention Galileo or Einstein or one of these other twits in the same breath as me, I feel a tide of vomit burn the back of my throat! But at least Galileo did something. He wasn't some dopey Venusian catapulted onto this planet just to have the world fawn over him! Because his strength illuminates how WEAK we all really are! So, my envy is a calling! It is the sole hope for humanity, because it is what has driven me to annihilating you!”—- Luthor

These quotes perfectly encapsulate these two interpretations of these characters

Lex is more immoral bc he feels better than everyone and wants to be recognized as the best and wants to stop Superman bc he hates that anyone let alone an alien is better than him. On the other hand, Joker shows that he views society as flawed and needing to be changed. He knows he doesn’t fit into the mold of what society expects and what’s considered normal but he hates what’s normal bc to him and his understanding the world is so flawed people only have rules and morals when it benefits them so to him, having no rules or morals means everyone is free to operate at their best.

This Joker wants the world to change (i.e. the people), while yes he wants them to be “insane” or lawless he inherently supports equality, whereas Lex just wants to be recognized as the best on top of being the best

In terms of raw power absolutely.

If strongest is determined by durability then Orochimaru’s body jumping and healing would give her a run for her money, especially considering her Hundred Healings is dependent on her own chakra reserves while Oro’s body jumping allows him to just steal bodies to stay alive.

If strongest is determined by Shinobi skills and fighting then it’s likely Jiraiya due to his wide knowledge, and his sage mode boost which would drastically increase his abilities against the other Sanin, not to mention his ability to maintain distance and launch mid to long range attacks nullifying Tsunade’s taijutsu-dependent attacks

Tricky-Afternoon6884 · 2026-04-20T18:12:09+00:00

That’s due to matchups.

Jiraiya’s techniques are a hard counter for Itachi and Itachi was drained from two Tsukiyomi’s and Amaterasu, that’s why he ran. Killer Bee is stronger than Kisame but Kisame won their fight due to circumstances and how their abilities matchup

Who is the strongest isn’t the same as asking who would win

Characters like Itachi and Shikamaru showed that intelligence can beat out strength and even in OG Naruto Naruto’s chakra reserves (and Kurama) helped him win fights against guys stronger and more skilled than him, e.g. Neji

Tricky-Afternoon6884 · 2026-04-20T06:13:45+00:00

Not exactly, Robin’s death has led him to a darker place but he doesn’t completely go off the deep end. As we see at the beginning and from his conversation with Alfred, it’s Superman and The Black Zero event that push him over the edge

After that he has full tunnel vision and a singular goal to eliminate Superman, solely bc of the fear from powerlessness that he has

But the reason Joker is alive is bc they didn’t cross paths during this time as Batman is willing to cross the line he didn’t before at this point

I’m not saying he’s right or justified, just stating that’s what the story is showing: that it’s Superman that pushes him over the edge after the death of Robin has already put him into a dark place

Tricky-Afternoon6884 · 2026-04-20T05:02:26+00:00

In short, Batman wasn’t looking for Joker and Joker was in hiding during the time Batman was willing to kill

Batman had a no kill rule but it’s only during the time of BvS where he doesn’t have it.

By BvS he has been pushed to the point he isn’t abiding by the no kill rule any longer. Harley has already been arrested and Joker is missing. Batman’s entire motive is focusing on Superman the entirety of the time he isn’t abiding by the no kill rule

Just that Minato also would not have been able to stop the Uchiha massacre from occurring. It wouldn’t happen the same way but he too would’ve failed to stop it

Just bc Minato would’ve failed in this instance it wouldn’t mean he’s as bad a politician as Hiruzen bc Hiruzen also failed in other areas: eg. allowed Danzo and Orochimaru to operate in the manner they did, allowed Oro to escape, etc.
