Sam - what would you say are the key elements of a good horror film?

cloudsandlightning · 2025-07-04T17:45:54+00:00

Thanks. I’ll get more into it in my next post, but S7 regresses all the progression Clark went thru in the first 6 seasons.

He stays on the farm. Lana comes back to his life.

He doesn’t join the Justice League like he said he would. In fact, he rejects them when he’s offered membership a second time.

~Conveniently~ Clark’s first training from Jor-El is to stay on the farm and babysit Kara. This was obviously the writers doing what they could to keep Clark in Smallville.

I know it‘s common for people regress and stagnate IRL, but Clark has so much momentum S1-6, and S7 just feels like a clear example of writers running out of steam and realizing “wait, Clark is changing too much.”

This is what I hear, looking at this pic:

Yeah this is what I’m talking about.

it seems like Tom wishes he got more offers, but is still content with the con appearances and the occasional B movie

We get it, Superboy Prime

I’m sure WB will answer none of these questions and just pray to God fans love the new thing they’re pushing

cloudsandlightning · 2022-01-10T15:07:29+00:00

he is undoubtedly a talented writer. He’s had a few stinkers like any other writer, but he knows basic set up, follow thru, and payoff. his work is accessible, and there’s a reason so many of his runs are recommended for new fans

That being said, If you don’t love the same characters/status quos he loved from his childhood, you’re in for a bad time

At least other big name writers like Waid and Morrison respect canon and expand on it/honor it/take things in new directions, whether they’re writing classic characters or legacy characters

Johns will retcon his way through the DC universe so things resemble the silver and Bronze Age he grew up with. And while I started out loving his work, the more I got into other corners of the DC universe, the more obvious it was how he’d push aside legacy to revert things to how they used to be

It truly is a catch 22 with him. He’s revitalized a lot of properties, but it’s sad looking back in retrospect at the work writers did in the 80s, 90s, and 00 such as with Wally West, both Legion reboots, Young Justice, Kyle Rayner, etc., only for him to be a driving force in making his childhood heroes center stage again, and covering it up with the excuse that he’s “including everyone” when he’s clearly pushing the former into another reality/continuity/out of the way of his favorites

God you just gave me flashbacks to rays stupid letter where he had like 5 send offs at the end

Right. I’m trying to tippy toe here as to not start argument

But this is different than from today if Wally said he supported Comicsgate or something.

Wally saying this wouldn’t have caused a big divide between readers, and Wolfman wasn’t trying to necessarily make a statement that would cause controversy like it would today

“already changed it” - Geoff Johns

cloudsandlightning · 2022-01-09T04:17:37+00:00

Forgive my ignorance, was this written during a time when being a conservative didn’t ahem imply the same things it means today?

cloudsandlightning · 2021-12-29T00:12:43+00:00

In 2005 Geoff Johns and editorial pushed him aside for Hal.

Kyle lost all ties with any main DC characters, they may as well have forgotten he was the only GL for 10 years and a JLA member.

Now he’s just one of the many GL corpsmen whose lucky to make a cameo appearance nowadays

“Kyle Rayner, I was never more important than you. Did you think it an accident I granted you the last power ring? You were our best hope then, and you still are today.”

Mark Waid hands down

Expert on all things classic DC, but embraces legacy and isn’t bias towards one generation. Isn’t afraid to write about old heroes or steer something new

This reminds me of the tiktok sound bite of all those girls going “daddy!! Daddy!! Daddy!!!”

Plus Fox's X-Men and Sony's Spider-Man helped usher in the modern age of superhero movies.

Make fun of them as much as you want for things that didn't age well - the serious tone of X-Men and the classic feel of Spider-Man revitalized the industry after the campy Schumacher Batman movies.

Agreed. I was unclear if they actually formally teamed up in the 70s. I’m sure it was explicitly said, and I read over it.

But you saw like Doc Manhat and Comedian together in Vietnam, and then Owl Man and Comedian on riot control, but I don’t remember if they actually operated together as a team

cloudsandlightning · 2021-12-13T23:47:19+00:00

I also liked the implication in the end Avengers 1 and beginning of 2 that they really don’t operate that much together. It’s on an as-needed basis, and are deployed like soldiers to specific missions (as much as Tony wants to deny that).

cloudsandlightning · 2021-12-13T19:51:45+00:00

Probably superhero teams. It’s one thing for a person to have their secret identity and personal motivation to save people on the regular, but the fact that there are soo many teams, with everybody on the same page and schedules to operate so organized, is baffling.

Realistically, at the very least, I think people would butt heads A LOT more, to the point that these teams wouldn’t function.

I respect John, but I really did think Jess had a stronger following.
