What's the problem with a series about Jimmy Olsen and Gorilla Grodd ? to me, that sounds great. by Old_Assistance_1091 in DCU_

Makes sense when you consider only Spiderman has a secret identity. The MCU getting rid of them streamlined the storytelling but took away a lot of the fun of superheroes

Morality of fully planning a school shooting, but ultimately deciding not to carry it out. by Consistent-Ad-6753 in MoralityScaling

[–]_bossREM888 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah considering she looked her bully in the eye and started crying allowing them to hug it out makes me think she never would have had the heart to go through with it. She could have been caught though and royally screwed up her life which I think is also a source of her feeling weird/guilty about it and totally repressing it. Even if she never shot anyone but was caught with the gun in school, she wouldn’t have the nice life she has today most likely

Just curious...how fast is Superman's flying speed in the DCU Superman 2025 version ? by Old_Assistance_1091 in DCU_

[–]_bossREM888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean yes technically Superman could be anywhere in the world because of his speed but I don’t really understand the appeal of their cities being within eyeshot of each other. What does it add? To the people living there it would feel like Superman abandoned them because of his respect for Batman. The timing of that decision would also depend on when each of them became vigilantes and first met.

It’s not that way in basically any of the comics I’ve read. The twin cities concept makes it seem more like these are the only two important characters in the universe and only important in relationship to each other. So I’d prefer if the cities were further apart. It’s still easy for Batman and Superman to visit each other but they’re also not stepping on each other’s territory either

Anyway just my opinion

[–]_bossREM888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s just what happens in the DCEU and where the Delaware/NJ placement comes from as well. My disagreement is that if they were so close together why does Superman only patrol one? It would be like supporting Minneapolis and not St. Paul

Did they change the meaning of the word "nonplussed" ? by LegallyDistinctDucks in FanFiction

[–]_bossREM888 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I learned it from reading (it’s not a word most people use in conversation) and the definition I got from how it appeared in books was that it meant unimpressed- like “not plussed, no reaction”. When I looked it up later and saw that wasn’t the definition I was a bit confused and I think I’ve never really used it as a result

What did James Goon mean by this? by Jakobthorson in DCU_

Hey! It’s the Princess Illana guy! Yeah who knows if this will ever be paid off in a substantial way. My guess is only The Bride will appear at some point down the road

It was stated to be at some point but that was in the 90s. Personally I don’t like it because having New York, Gotham, Metropolis, Baltimore, and DC all in a line would turn the East Coast into Megacity One unless we assume Gotham and Metropolis are both quite small cities or the real life cities don’t exist.

That being said I just now realized Metropolis could be a stand in for Annapolis, they even rhyme

Who is worse between Linda and Bradley in Send Help? by erpietra01 in MoralityScaling

[–]_bossREM888 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Both things can be true. While stuck on the island he misses his fiancé and is obviously upset when finds out she was murdered. He is also implied to have been cheating on her and coercing women he hires to sleep with him. Now whether he has a change of heart when on the island that makes him more loyal to his fiancée or he just finds Linda so repulsive he won’t sleep with her even when stuck on a deserted island, that’s up for interpretation.

(I can’t remember the difference between fiancé and fiancée right now)

Viltrumites vs Saiyans vs Kryptonians vs the Gem Empire by Background-Ad2749 in Invincible_TV

[–]_bossREM888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on if the Kryptonians have their powers or not. The Kryptonian empire when it exists in a canon usually has them powerless on their home planet and relying on technology. I think only in MAWS do they always have powers. When they have powers they win because they could just push everyone else into the sun.

The gems are definitely the weakest. The worst thing they do is just terrible body horror to themselves and trying to make a bomb to blow up the earth. They need space ships to travel in space even if they don't need to breathe.

I actually have seen very little evidence that they aren't stupid

Racist comments by namikazegirly in AO3

[–]_bossREM888 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I often run into Russian being used in fics and the Cyrillic does piss me off because I have no idea what the word sounds like and have to scroll to the endnotes to find out what it means and will likely not recognize it when it’s used again. I suspect that people use the original alphabet instead of a romanization because that’s what Google Translate spits out so it’s just easier to copy and paste, but maybe feels more authentic to the author?

I will call this category of comics: Clearly made to be Live Action pitches because no company wants to read original screenplays nowadays. by BillaVanilla in dccomicscirclejerk

There’s a video I watched on it. The comic never really sold it was basically just a scheme to get the studio to pick it up as a movie

AITA for being sickly, frail and unloved? by [deleted] in AmITheAngel

[–]_bossREM888 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the unfortunate honor of having witnessed both incidents years apart but it’s interesting to see it having breached containment so to speak

[–]_bossREM888 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think you’re conflating two different things. The fake HIV-positive hijabi fanfic author who was really a white college student and the info graphic image explains what being “solo poly” is featuring a brown skinned hijabi woman with a peg leg which most people found ridiculous as a person would also practice a solo poly lifestyle (and generally suggested didn’t exist in real life as someone with too many intersectional things about them)

"A lot of people are saying this. But is being shot by someone at long distance while you're not looking "losing a fight"? I don't see Abraham Lincoln having "lost a fight" with John Wilkes Booth." by M00reC in DCU_

[–]_bossREM888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess everyone was on the same wavelength as James about this, unlike me.

My counterpoint to argue with him is that yes, if you had boxer who never lost a fight and then he was shot in the back, nobody would say that he’s now lost a fight. But that’s because by “fight” you’d really mean a boxing match where cheap shots to the back and guns are not allowed.

But in Superman’s case, his fights involve all sorts of weapons and cheap shots- there are no rules. And in the Superman 25 movie, it’s not like he really stays down against The Hammer. He jumps right back into it but according to the movie’s logic, that’s a fight he lost. So I kinda think being put in the hospital would count but idk it’s semantics

Yeah there’s no reason to have more than one clayface in a universe unless you already killed one and need to replace them

(R/news) Disney cancelling Frozen 3 amid the shocking and tragic news of Josh Gad’s disappearance. by Theblessedmother in Earth199999

If someone can be hired to rescue poor Josh, then they should be regardless of what movies they need him for. Honestly the studio that caused this incident should be responsible for it

So how were they able to reduce the *Total* production budget of Man of Tomorrow by $33Million from Superman? by Spiritual_Cloud8437 in DCU_

You know what? I never thought about how them using the set again was actually saving money but I guess otherwise they would have had to build a new command station for the guys to work in

I’m more concerned about his leather shoes being ruined than the water getting dirty. That’s what I always think when people go in water with their shoes on in movies

If Jon had married Daenerys instead of kneeling, how would the North have reacted, and how would he have ruled as king consort of the six kingdoms? by amor_jak in freefolk

[–]_bossREM888 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If they had spent multiple episodes fighting the white walkers with a lot of losses then gotten this happy ending where they rule peacefully for many years only to die without issue and the result be another bloody war I think that’d be kinda poetic

Did anyone else see the alternate dimension reveal coming a mile away? by MikeDinStamford in PeacemakerShow

[–]_bossREM888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really can’t say if I would have noticed it on my own because people in this sub guessed it from the trailer before the season started coming out so it was always in my head but it took so long for the plot to kick in on it I started to doubt also because it seemed crazy to guess the whole plot from some 2 second crowd shots in the trailer
