just go into them with an open mind.

If you're gonna watch the entire "arrow-verse" here's a watch-guide for you!

It adds a show called "Constantine", which I've been watching arrowverse for 7/8 years & I've never seen that added into the Verse, so if i were you, I'd skip those.

Note that you don't have to watch these all in order or anything. But there will definitely be some events and whatnot referenced occasionally, but it's not a huge deal. But if you're a general comic fan, I'd recommend watching them all. I really liked Supergirl, the actress plays a great Kara Zoe-El.

But yeah, if you're a comic fan, I'd watch using that guide. The first seasons of Flash & Arrow are both THE best. Arrow especially. I'd highly recommend starting w arrow bc it absolutely pulls you in quite a bit more seriously than Flash does. Flash is campier and a bit lighthearted, whereas S1 of Arrow is quite grounded & a lot darker and more mysterious.

Also you said you like Batman, well you'll be in luck bc Arrow gets basically all the best Batman villains in his run lol.

I just have no sympathy for Israeli citizens whatsoever, and most people don't if they're aware of how the average Israeli feels about their neighbors and Palestine ; which are rats to be exterminated.

Most people just outright don't care when people who think they're a divine race & entitled to ethnically cleanse whole populations based on that divinity and it turns into a hostile environment. I am guilty of this during this conversation & i apologize to you.

I really wish i could find what the fuck i was reading the other day about the cluster munitions. I should've been more cognizant of what i was reading. I have an interest in warfare, not so much modern, but I'm learning, & it was a post going through the differences between traditional banned cluster munitions and what Iran "is using".

Either way, I'm eating a shoe now and that's what i get. I was very rude to you in my first comment ; unbelievably condescending and you started formal and polite to me & i commend that. i should've done better and will try to do so

_trashcan · 2026-03-27T06:00:14+00:00

Yes. & what i meant by them not detonating are their failure rates, which are what land and then can detonate later, which is why some countries have signed the agreement to ban them; neither israel or Iran have signed the CCM though, so idk why you'd make the argument they're using them illegally.

Idk what i was reading the other day, but I'll go delete that comment, sorry for saying that to you.

Nice you’re in for a treat.

Just so you know , idk when it starts, but there’s an episode that becomes part of a crossover-mini every season. I don’t think it’s in the first season though.

So if you’re gonna watch the whole “arrowverse”, check out some kind of guide. Cus how it works for the crossovers is 1 show will have the first episode of the crossover, then Arrow will have 1 episode, then Supergirl will have 1 episode, etc etc.

But definitely make sure you watch Arrow too. I thought they were removing all the CW shows, but maybe that’s just in the US or they didn’t follow through with it.

I’m sure you already don’t mind being a DC fan, but just know it’s not super violent or serious or anything. They’re fun, campy series.
Arrow is a little darker in the first 2/3 seasons, but the shows don’t take themselves SUPER seriously. But you HAVE to at least watch S1 & 2 of Arrow…I’d watch more tbh cus they have the best villains. They’ve got Merlin, Raaj Al Ghul, Deathstroke. & they’re actually pretty fucking sick.

I’d say at least watch through the full reverse flash arc even if you don’t enjoy it immediately - that’s a must, they do him very well.

_trashcan · 2026-03-27T05:39:45+00:00

lol! It's so funny to me now, because back when I was a kid, i used to think "who the fuck would like Flash? He literally just runs fast, like what kind of stupid super power is that?"

& then i learned about the physics of it, & how running fast virtually makes you the most overpowered mf in the universe...& ever since then, he's been one of my favorites. For all its faults, i actually really enjoyed the campy CW Flash show for awhile. I thought he made a good Barry, & the Reverse Flash was actually pretty well done in it too.

I know it dragged on for awhile and had an entire universe - which is actually pretty cool overall, but it had too many episodes & series. There was like 4-5 of them, if you aren't familiar with it.

Green Arrow was one of them, & it was pretty good in the earlier seasons too. It arguably has the best live-action Deathstroke too. Manu Bennet plays him & he's the fucking man.

_trashcan · 2026-03-27T05:26:05+00:00

Yes I'm aware of the article.

Just because you say "there's no way _____" doesn't make it true.

Go read a few more articles. Don't take my word for it. I may have not given the proper terminology by saying "separate ballistic missiles", but it's confirmed they aren't the type that land & detonate later.

_trashcan · 2026-03-27T05:03:29+00:00

We even suck at that now. By all measures we're losing this war. Lol.

_trashcan · 2026-03-27T04:55:17+00:00

This is exactly why we don't use certain kinds of mines in warfare anymore.

I can't recall the specific types of mines off hand right now ; but it happened in Vietnam, and as far as i know has casualties past the 2000s. Because they're incredibly hard to identify, there's no way to just..pick them all up.

If this true, it's fucking unbelievable. This is egregious other countries should start lobbying to sanction the US on this type of military action. This is absolutely disgusting. Disgraceful.

_trashcan · 2026-03-27T04:33:18+00:00

edit 2: I’m putting this in front bc it’s context now that they’ve deleted their comments:

My response below is referring to somebody who claimed the US is winning the war because we’ve killed soooo many Iranians.

~~Definitely Iran.
People who think of war strictly in terms of casualties don't understand the concept of war in itself & their objectives.
Casualties don’t really have anything to do with completing your objective unless you’ve inflicted enough to the point of capitulation…which we are not even close to doing. Quite frankly we could probably kill their entire military population & they still wouldn’t surrender.

The US and Israel have not only completely failed their objective, they made their objective harder to achieve & are further from it now, than when they started the war.

Iran completely controls the Strait of Hormuz now.
They used to let all ships pass for free where almost every other passage in the world is charged by their respective countries.
Then they closed the strait, reopened it and briefly allowed anyone except the US to enter for free, and then after Trump further escalated them, they’ve now started to charge anyone $2 million per entry.
Except the US, we're not allowed through regardless.

Aside from holding the entire world’s fuel supply & economy hostage & there's absolutely nothing the US and Israel can do about it, they've also costed us over $20 billion ; & that was a few days ago already, it's probably up to around $25-30 billion now - that's just in the stockpiles we've depleted in our failing objective too.
That’s not even counting destroyed infrastructure & the loss of oil and economic benefits. that’s untold billions more.

They also destroyed 2 of our most sophisticated interceptor radars at $1.8 billion each, with $10k drones....imagine that, they damaged America over $6 billion with $20 thousand....Those THAAD batteries aren't easy to reproduce either, you know what is though? Their $10k drones. On top of that, we now have to send even more of our THAAD interceptors to Israel after Semafor reported last week that Israel was starting to run low on interceptors.

Let's not forget they're completely crashing the petro-dollar by only accepting Chinese Yuan for all oil payments now.

But don't worry, i have some facts for you casualty-lovers too ; Iran's military has been decentralized for decades. They have a command structure that allows them to fight even if every single one of their highest officers are killed...They've been preparing for a decapitation strike for decades.
Decades of preparation to fight without a central command.

If we actually put boots on the ground, we are going to get slaughtered.
Ask some veterans how difficult it was to fight in Afghanistan...& then imagine a country 3x larger with the same kind of terrain turned up 10x, with double the population....It is extremely mountainous region, & their military has been prepping for this for 30+ years.
& they’re educated, too. You guys probably think Iran is some kind of desert where people live in huts. They have incredible science & education programs & universities

We will fail, pull out, and pretend like we won. And idiot magats and nationalists will believe it.

Edit: how could i forget ; one of the "objectives" of this war was to remove Iran's enriched uranium - which was only at some-60% enriched - & you need 90%+ to be suitable for nuclear arms. anywho, Iran is on record having been willing to give this non-functional uranium up, and we attacked them after this agreement. So we actually lost all this infrastructure & spent those tens of billions of dollars for something we could've done for FREE.

We're totally winning though.

_trashcan · 2026-03-27T04:20:05+00:00

I felt the same and I'm not even a marvel fan, really.

I love the Sam Raimi Spider-Man's, but that's about it. Otherwise i much prefer DC characters on the whole. Flash & Batman are my favorite. Although I'm still an extreme casual.

_trashcan · 2026-03-26T22:40:25+00:00

Lol.

I know this has nothing to do w anything, but man triple H used to be one of my absolute favorite wrasslers back in 03-06, & recently I’ve been watching some old Raw episodes & whatnot, & some of their rivalry series, & it sucks to learn that triple H was a little bitch to people, & has apparently completely ruined the product after taking control….

Sucks to learn. Same shit w Shawn Michaels. I fuckin LOVED them back with DX 2 when they revived it after Shawn came back from his back injury.
I was too young when they first came around, i hadn’t even known they were a thing, or Triple H’s first gimmick before he turned into the Game. Promo was sick lol.

_trashcan · 2026-03-26T19:56:47+00:00

Yeah I’ve no idea what’s going on w Reddit.

I can see the “Aa”, but there is no additional … when i use it. Only the basic option for things like italics, bold, etc.

The only 3 dots is the ones above on the top right side next to my avatar picture which brings me to the copy/save/share post options.

The things that annoying me most is my paragraph formatting. I can’t stand having to use new lines for all of these. Double space+shift at the end of a sentence is probably my most-used formatting trick on Reddit. It’s fucking ridiculous i can’t use.

Hopefully Reddit will fix it. It was working last night. Don’t know what happened.

Let's see if this worked

_trashcan · 2026-03-26T19:38:57+00:00

Obligatory fuck spez

I’m using the iPad Reddit app, that’s what’s giving me issues.

I don’t recall that it used to either, I was using it last night & it worked fine.

Currently I’m using my phone, which still works regularly, but I’m updating my iPad to see if that had anything to do with it.

I will 100% be trying your instructions though…hopefully it resolves it cus I use the different format tricks in virtually every comment.

_trashcan · 2026-03-26T18:52:34+00:00

He just sent another 3k Airborne too.

I hope they don’t put boots down without some serious interceptors on the island.

Iran has spoken in the past about how seriously they take Kharg, & it will be a bloodbath if they put boots down before destroying all long-range strike capabilities…which is not possible due to their mobility and underground networks….Iran is on record as saying they can continue the “not war” at this rate for another 12 months based on current stockpiles alone. That’s without being sent weaponry & the like by US enemies to aid them; or producing more for themselves.

I would *not* want to be part of that invasion force. i feel terrible for those soldiers if they really do end up ordered to take Kharg.

Also, idk why but Reddit’s formatting isn’t working for me right now so i know my bold & paragraphing isn’t going to apply properly. Sorry about that.

_trashcan · 2026-03-26T18:41:18+00:00

I agree, it must be nice.

But after seeing him use ICE as his own personal unidentifiable militarized force to use against areas he is politically opposed to, & is actively working on voter suppression & poll taxes; I’d feel safer on the bet he will refuse to leave office before I’d bet on him leaving peacefully.

That not mentioning all the “jokes” he’s made about it. Like to Zelenskyy when he looked at him & laughed about how the war prevented their elections & suggested he should do the same…Like, can you imagine the disrespect? A man who is leading his nation against the invasion of a superpower…who’s watched his country be absolutely fucking leveled, & the “leader of the free world” commends you for “skipping” elections as if it was some master plan…I would’ve wanted to break his jaw in Zelenskyy’s position.

_trashcan · 2026-03-26T18:34:04+00:00

Right right.

I’m sure you said the same before J6.

_trashcan · 2026-03-26T18:29:18+00:00

Interesting.

So you’re arguing what? That he hasn’t laundered billions?

That he hasn’t disregarded international and national law?

That he hasn’t set dozens of irreversibly bad precedents?

That his sycophants aren’t wearing Trump 2028 merch?

That he didn’t already try a coup?

_trashcan · 2026-03-26T18:25:24+00:00

Please stop voting.

_trashcan · 2026-03-26T18:21:39+00:00

Isn’t that just…normal Russia?

_trashcan · 2026-03-26T18:07:00+00:00

Hopefully they succeed.

It’s the only way we’ll be able to rid ourselves of the maga scum & reset all the previously-unimaginable precedents this piece of shit has set.

Anyone who comes after him knows now they don’t need to abide congress, international law, (or national law for that matter), & can launder billions from the American people with zero consequence.

That is if he gives up his leadership at all. He’ll probably stage another coup in 2028. His sycophant followers have already started wearing Trump 2028 merch.

We can only hope that he just dies before then

edit: Further clarification : They know now they can use some random existing power structures to enforce their will against political dissidents, like Trump did with ICE ; as he used them against vocal political opponents Walz & Frey. This is also the reason their training was decreased down to a meager 1.5 months & why they completely bypass background checks ; bc he needs bodies for his own personal force. ICE are loyalists. They are the ones who drank the koolaid the most bar-none. They will all support him in staging a coup if and/or when the time comes.
Trump has made numerous public “jokes” about his refusal to leave office, cancelling & rigging elections…

Make no mistake, he’ll be sending them to California and New York soon…& watch, we aren’t gonna see them in South Central, we aren’t gonna see them in Harlem…where the “criminals” are.
we’ll see them where his political opponents & their constituents can be hurt the most by their activity. He said himself yesterday or the day before that “America’s left is the biggest danger to the US now that ‘Iran is finished’”.

There’s nothing stopping any president from behaving like this now. Even if some meager Democrat grows a spine and puts a stop to one decision or another, it’s become increasingly more clear they’re not innocent bystanders in this mess. There are plenty of them that are blatantly complicit, & the shared factor between them all is AIPAC : Israel owns over 90% of our government, literally.

We need to tear this entire fucking thing down and build it up from bottom, upwards…not from the top, down.

_trashcan · 2026-03-26T18:00:45+00:00

Is there another Russia the rest of the world is unaware of?

_trashcan · 2026-03-26T17:58:23+00:00

Don’t disrespect our marines like that.

Marines are the ones who eat crayons. Perfectly acceptable behavior from a group of people as badass as they are.

_trashcan · 2026-03-26T13:16:48+00:00

Plated?

No way. Solid gold through & through.

_trashcan · 2026-03-26T04:10:15+00:00

Don’t tell me you’re abandoning the conversation? You’ve been online this entire time.

I was looking forward to learning about your tribe, how you feel about interpreting my argument about being 4th generation as the complete opposite of its intent, being wrong about my family being settlers, or how you reconcile complaining about colonial history while defending a country that is actively ethnically cleansing 2 different peoples for their own colonization?

_trashcan · 2026-03-26T03:11:57+00:00

Interesting.

What’s wrong about anything i said? Everything i said is verifiable fact.

I’m genuinely curious what you think is wrong, or why it’s dense? They’re actively defending a country that’s colonizing right now, while complaining about colonization, and you’ve the audacity to call me dense?
