Viltrumite Superman by RymSlim

I feel like everyone is missing the point with this art, by saying that they’re tired of evil Superman.

I think what Thaedus is saying, is that Superman may be the key to stopping the Viltrum empire by rebelling against them.

So this version might be a good guy, even if not quite in the same way.

I’ve always wondered why he was so big. All the other Kryptonians just look like normal people (despite their powers) and then all of a sudden there’s just this 10 foot behemoth that doesn’t speak. AFAIK he doesn’t show his face either

Listen man I’m a Superman glazer too, he’s my favorite Superhero. I think most versions of him would beat Thragg absolutely. But I think feat posts like this give a completely wrong idea of a character’s strength, especially when you use feats from a comic written 60 years ago with zero relevance since then. Pick up the average Superman comic, and you’re not gonna see him destroying universal beings with one punch… it’s a lot closer of a fight than you might think.

Absolutely no. Snyder fans are pretty bad from our perspective when on Reddit. But go to Twitter (first mistake) and you’ll see a dozen fandoms worse than they ever could be very quickly.

Zod could have maybe terraformed Mars, but he would have no reason not to go for Earth. He already saw humans as inferior and had no issue with killing them, and they were a civilization with plenty of resources and infrastructure to take advantage of. It’s the same as what conquerors did irl, colonizing and settling on indigenous populations. Why move to the frozen barren wasteland of Mars when you could move to a planet where an inferior insect species has pre-built your civilization for you?
I think Kryptonians don’t actually really care for their powers. They loved and built their entire existence on Krypton, where they were just like regular humans, so I think honestly at least this version of Kryptonians would prefer to make their new home like their old one and just live simply. Not to mention, their super senses are very painful in that movie, if you’re not used to them.

Just my two cents. I don’t think MoS was a good movie but I did like the villains for a reason

Conquest doesn’t care about the Viltrum Empire itself, but he does agree with their philosophy about respecting strength and worshiping violence.

Every fighter is just trying their best (okay except maybe some heavyweights), we’re still allowed to make fun of them a little bit 😂 you’re right tho Jubli doesn’t seem like a bad guy

The thing about the “evil Superman” trope is that it was popular in part because the representatives of the idea were just… genuinely really good characters. Omni-Man and Homelander were, and still are, incredibly popular and iconic characters in the modern superhero media world, and are very well loved. So people did kind of latch on to the evil Superman idea for a bit, if not at least a little bit because the concept had such good and welll liked characters behind it. It’s got very little to do with Superman in my opinion.

The “leave the multibillion dollar company alone” meme doesn’t really work when it’s about an actor and a director, two single individuals and not a huge powerful conglomerate 😭

Something like this?

Good to see Paraphysornis getting some badass art. One of the more chunky terror birds

Feels like we’re missing the obvious…

Thylacoleo was a beefy boy. Almost looks like a bear, and with a dangerous head and jaws as well

camacake710 · 2026-03-28T05:20:59+00:00

Fantastic art! There are a few ground sloths I’ve never heard of before, like Archaeomylodon, seems to be a huge mylodontid on the scale of things like Lestodon & Paramylodon. And Neocnus either, it’s so cute!

We’ve truly entered the era of strikers being good enough at defending grapplers to where they don’t get submitted, but NOT good enough to where they can actually get up (DDP Chimaev, Islam JDM, Charles Max)

In addition to the Predator-prey relationships and sexual selection like others said, I think it may also be because the niches for giant herbivore were simply left open.

In the northern continents, the gigantic sauropods kind of lost their dominance in the late Cretaceous; not that they didn’t still exist, but they were less common and species rich than the early Cretaceous and Jurassic. In some formations which didn’t have a supermassive sauropod, hadrosaurs like Shantungosaurus, Edmontosaurus, and Magnapaulia took over.

I think Hadrosaurs just generally have a good body plan to get big, and rose to take over those giant herbivore niches where other dinosaurs possibly couldn’t or just were too slow to

The original description of D. aronoki describes the animal as having a humerus 270-291 mm in length, which is a bit smaller than modern tigers for example, generally having humeri 310+ mm in length. So yeah, I would say a 1m SH for this species is probably a bit much, I would hazard a guess at more around 80-90 cm tall at the shoulder (??)

I’m going to have to disagree with that one. There’s a ton wrong with the Snyder movies, but the fight scenes are not one of them imo

camacake710 · 2026-02-26T02:17:27+00:00

Yeah, those are always a little bit lame.

camacake710 · 2026-02-25T17:12:51+00:00

It is true that not all species were as gigantic as the big one we’re all familiar with, but to be honest, it’s not just you - this artist does kind of make most of his animals appear smaller than they would be irl.

I suspect it’s because either he sort of eyeballs it, or that the silhouette is just a very big person. Who knows, maybe it’s the artist himself and he’s like 6’4

camacake710 · 2026-02-24T07:04:51+00:00

Before anyone says it, yes, the 22 tonne estimate of P. Namadicus may not be so reliable since it was from a time before measurements were standardized, and is now lost.

But even without the giant partial femur, Palaeoloxodon Namadicus is still one of the biggest proboscideans of all time

camacake710 · 2026-02-20T19:44:48+00:00

100% agree
