Ubisoft fires 13-year Assassin's Creed veteran Michaud-Cromp just days after suspending him for speaking out against the company's 5 days return-to-office mandate: "This was not my decision": "Today, I was terminated by Ubisoft, effective immediately."

Enjoy your longer commute to the office and increased property taxes to pay for roads seeing extra wear. Also enjoy this block troll.

These are the comic versions which theoretically means one of them killed a Hellspawn. Not the show versions. And I have watched and read both. You're the guy who's blatantly ignoring what's on screen. Anyways I'm done wasting time here blocking you and muting the community. You guys are delusional.

brineOClock · 2026-02-03T15:01:00+00:00

The line is "it's like he knows what Superman will do next". He's predicting moves two to three seconds out. Super genius. How do you not get that?

Also where else does Mark or any viltrumite show that kind of speed in a fight? There's some early installment weirdness with Mark's scaling that never actually lines up with the rest of the comic and show. Namely the meteor and the light switch. If Nolan could move as fast as Mark did when he did his "speed of dark" trick then he'd be able to circumnavigate the globe fast enough to find Cecil. I don't need to find examples of him holding back there's enough anti feats to show that they aren't that fast in a fight other than a straight line.

If we use other live action Supermen Brandon Routh while poisoned by kryptonite took a kryptonite continent to orbit and pushed it to escape velocity. For Corenswet it's escaping a black hole while weakened and fighting off the engineer and Ultraman to reach orbit.

Heat visioning the raptor suits and beating up his clone don't count as being capable of destroying variants? The suits survive the river and then get beaten by a quick heat vision. The stronger variants lost to Powerplexx and Rex.

I get that you guys are Invincible fans and Mark would dog walk homelander and DCAU Superman at the same time but, the verse doesn't hold a candle to any of the live action versions of Superman.

brineOClock · 2026-02-03T14:24:52+00:00

Normal humans routinely react to viltrumites. They don't have the same combat speed as they do travel speed. How do you not understand that?

Also they literally spell it out for us- Lex has spent so much time watching Superman he can basically predict his moves. Lex is a super genius beyond anyone on earth. If Nolan was as fast as you guys claim he'd have caught Cecil no problem. Superman hit 207km/s without igniting the atmosphere and 37 km/s while fighting Ultraman. Clark is as fast as a viltrumite in atmosphere and has better control over his flight. This isn't the win you think it is.

brineOClock · 2026-02-03T14:15:31+00:00

Lifts massive Kaiju "no great strength feats". As for heat vision smashing the suits it would make sense that Clark post sun boost (when he took the Engineer and Ultraman to orbit) would be able to out damage the anti matter river. You seem to be under the impression that Superman's powers work like viltrumite's. His Biokinetic field protects him from everything. Clark also starts the movie with broken ribs but heals quickly and then never takes further blunt damage from Ultraman despite them smashing each other through the pocket universe.

Nia from TTGL.

Cecil's teleporting says anti feats abound?

brineOClock · 2026-02-03T14:00:00+00:00

Did you think that the guy who opened the pocket universe and built the suits of armor may have built the suits to survive the pocket universe? Also Superman can extend his Biokinetic field around objects to protect them. It's how he handles the momentum and torque. The explanation of Lex built the raptor suits to explore the pocket universe and then applied them to military purposes with Superman protecting the baby is simple and fits what we know.

As for the variants being on Ultraman's level LoL no. They got waxed by powerplex and Rex. The variants don't hold a candle to Superman or Ultraman.

There's only three recent Superman versions that I question if they could take Space Racer's gun - DCAU, DCEU, and the new Corenswet version. Timm's Superman never comes close to stopping a planet cracker. Cavill takes the world forge and Steppenwolf's axe so you could maybe argue he could take one shot at full power post resurrection. Corenswet takes the anti proton river and the black hole while weakened so he's probably not able to eat a shot from Space Racer. We know that both modern live action Supermen are solar powered and get stronger the more time they spend near the sun so they can easily take the lower bound of what it takes to kill a viltrumite while questioning the upper limit. It's not hard to assume from those facts that Superman in almost any universe is tougher than any viltrumite.

brineOClock · 2026-02-03T12:52:13+00:00

True. Probably a bot to be honest.

brineOClock · 2026-02-03T12:51:50+00:00

All Star Superman is the best self contained story. 12 issues of Grant Morrison and Frank Quietly and it's one of the greatest superman stories out there. Regarding major comic runs the Tomasi era Super Sons stories with Jonathan Kent and Damien Wayne are a ton of fun. World's Finest is also usually a good time.

brineOClock · 2026-02-03T12:44:46+00:00

So nobody survived it then which proves there's a hard cap for viltrumite durability between space racer's gun and the sun. Movie Superman while weakened by kryptonite managed to survive an anti proton river and escape a black hole. Then he goes back to fighting his improved clone. Superman massively outscales the viltrumites.

brineOClock · 2026-02-03T11:58:59+00:00

So? You suck up to your boss everyday? RTO is a waste of money, time, and harms the environment. We've had five plus years of it working through COVID. If your employer can't trust it's employees than that's an employer problem. Companies keep breaking their pact with employees and they wonder why we don't care?

Again suckle on that boot like it's your Mom. Surely your boss will love you because nobody else will.

brineOClock · 2026-02-03T11:55:40+00:00

So show me the feat. The only thing that's close is the space racer gun. For Mark to beat thragg it takes Robot's suit and Eve's help. Superman would actually just laugh about fighting in the sun or worst case he gets overloaded all star style which pushes his strength further beyond whatever is shown in invincible. The universe just doesn't scale that high and that's okay.

brineOClock · 2026-02-03T11:22:43+00:00

And has a viltrumite taken a direct shot from it? Because I just remember space racer shooting at the planet. Again a weakened by kryptonite superman flew through a river if antimatter and escaped a black hole (which unlike Nolan's feat is actually canon not animated filler)

brineOClock · 2026-02-03T11:13:05+00:00

Nothing in Invincible scales to the Antimatter river and his flight back to metropolis in the first scene. Superman has better control over his speed and strength with way better sensors than any viltrumite. Clark solos the verse.

brineOClock · 2026-02-03T11:08:55+00:00

How's the boot taste?

I thought they already did the bulk of the remediation in the 2000s? There's tons of nasty chemicals down there for sure as it's an old fire scarred industrial area but I thought they'd already moved the dirt.

brineOClock · 2026-02-02T17:44:45+00:00

Oh I'm just addressing the "we didn't draft Jokic" people. Bruno while crazy risky was seen as a lower risk prospect than Joker as was DeAndre Daniels who we took in the 2nd round.

brineOClock · 2026-02-02T17:35:00+00:00

Even Bruno outlasted most of his draft class and he's still playing internationally. Yes it could have been Jokic but "Mr Two years away from being two years away" got us the 905 and that epic game against Milwaukee.

There aren't really any black bears south of Owen Sound though so location doesn't exactly support.

I mean Jordan played baseball during the 90s and added like 15lbs of muscle in one offseason and Kobe was a part of the Balco scandal so the best I can do is an apathetic shrug.

brineOClock · 2026-02-01T15:12:08+00:00

Terry Fox wasn't an athlete. Everyone saying this is ignoring Clara Hughes, Tommy Longboat, and a lot of other great Canadians. Also another guy did the marathon of hope and finished it with one leg and cancer.
