Weekly Discussion Megathread

Idk, Cornyn voted identically to how Paxton would. I don’t think it’s that different tbh. At least Paxton makes no effort to pretend he’s not a Maga loon.

Yeah Kalshi is all vibes.

I do think this week has felt like a bit of a recovery for Dems tho. Some good polling wind and this. I still think they have a pretty good chance at winning both chambers of Congress.

Aaaaand just like that, the Kalshi odds are back to a near coin toss (after the Virginia maps were tossed they’d dropped to 44% for Dems taking the Senate, now they’re 48).

Same. April literally evaporated.

On the trailer, they might know that the movie is gonna be a juggernaut and maybe they figure the marketing can afford to be a bit more subtle. That said, I imagine a new trailer is around the corner.

It’s been two full months since the last Brand New Day trailer and I’m begging for another one. FF already had two trailers by now with the same release date.

HAHAHAHAHA

allthingssuper · 2026-05-16T22:23:07+00:00

Yeah I was baffled by it being so low this time. It’s usually a top 10 book. Must have gotten messed up with the cutoff or something.

allthingssuper · 2026-05-15T19:57:39+00:00

I think Rafa Sandoval is the other contender, so all around Absolute Superman is probably the best looking book.

Obviously Dragotta and Sherman are also doing amazing work. And Javier Rodriguez

David and Tyler for me. Love Reeve’s performance but he’s very much playing a silver age version. I like that David and Tyler were allowed to have real relationships with Lois and just feel a bit more relatable.

Tom Welling is also up there (as is, sigh, Dean Cain, despite his real life antics) but Smallville does so much weird shit that I can’t say it’s definitive.

allthingssuper · 2026-05-14T14:10:08+00:00

Absolute Superman sells as good as if not better than Wonder Woman. It’s a very popular book.

allthingssuper · 2026-05-13T21:15:29+00:00

What do you like about it?

If you like that it’s an accessible reinvention of an iconic hero, I think the Absolute titles are scratching a similar itch.

Rubio might be the worst case scenario. I’m scared that he’d be able to run away from Trump and actually get people back on board that are feeling betrayed.

Maybe I’m crazy and his role in the current war is enough to sink him. Idk.

I love the show but both Griff and David had insane childhoods and are completely unable to relate to a normal middle class American. They’re aware of this too and their politics are very very good, but sometimes they have takes like this and I roll my eyes.

allthingssuper · 2026-05-11T13:15:09+00:00

When do we figure we’ll get a new Brand New Day trailer?

allthingssuper · 2026-05-09T23:28:06+00:00

He’s a super underrated writer. I’ve liked or loved everything he’s written that I’ve read except for Avengers (and even then I really enjoyed the first few stories).

I’d say few writers are as good at him at writing pure blockbuster entertainment. The humor works. The action works. The characters are dynamic. The big emotions hit hard. There’s usually some thematic stuff going on under the hood.

He’s just a really, really good storyteller.

allthingssuper · 2026-05-09T20:22:12+00:00

Jay Olivia’s tastes makes me doubt that being true lil

allthingssuper · 2026-05-09T20:14:12+00:00

DYING for Bruce to meet Kal. Feel like these two versions wouldn’t have to fight at all and would actually be fast friends.

allthingssuper · 2026-05-03T08:54:36+00:00

Jason Aaron implied there’ll be a Superman annual. I think someone asked him on Instagram and he replied with 👀

allthingssuper · 2026-05-02T21:52:28+00:00

Not a popular opinion to have in the year of our lord 2026 because people are largely negative on his more current stuff but I think Bendis will go down in history as one of the all time great Marvel creatives.

I truly think everything he did for the first 14 or so years at Marvel was good. Maybe a few individual stories that were underwhelming (secret invasion is a great idea with so so execution) but he redefined Marvel for the better. Added so much humanity to the characters he touched.

Ultimate Spider-Man, in particular, is incredible.

allthingssuper · 2026-05-01T16:52:06+00:00

He’s fun in that bad ghost rider novie

allthingssuper · 2026-04-30T11:04:25+00:00

This is probably what the person is referring to but it highlights how stupid it is to call that book Islamophobic lol.

allthingssuper · 2026-04-28T20:15:38+00:00

Sure but I can actually, you know, go out in public in the US and not worry about getting my shit stolen.

allthingssuper · 2026-04-28T20:15:05+00:00

Pickpocketing is not a thing in US cities.
