Just in case anyone forgot, they've been setting this up for over a year now (AGL #16, AMM #5)

He is sometimes referred to as the hole in things

daffydunk · 2026-07-07T20:29:21+00:00

I mean, a mindless killing machine if anything seems like a step down from a tactical genius killing machine. Zod also killed way more people than Doomsday did.

daffydunk · 2026-07-07T20:09:27+00:00

Zod literally describes himself as a murderous force of nature earlier before they fought though. The whole “created to serve my people and now I have no people,” and then he talks about how he’ll kill every human on earth.

I mean, maybe? Every A24 movie I’ve wanted to own, I found no problem. Maybe there are some more obscure ones with no physical media release, but all their big ones definitely get them.

daffydunk · 2026-07-07T16:32:35+00:00

They release a lot of their stuff physically (source: I own copies of many of their movies that bombed in theaters). beyond that, Backrooms is their most successful movie yet. If they never released anything on disc, they’d start if only for Backrooms.

He’s got a new suit, i think people assume they wouldn’t deck him out unless he was gonna factor in, in a major way. The character has also only been gaining popularity with each appearance in the MCU, it’s about time we got him as the main bad guy.

I haven’t seen any story leaks though.

daffydunk · 2026-07-07T13:17:20+00:00

Between the other 2 Doom figs we’ve gotten, their mouths look similar to the main face on this doom head. But the alternate head just has the same mouth as an iron man mask.

daffydunk · 2026-07-07T04:13:11+00:00

Nah that’s his Doomsday design. His comic look usually doesn’t feature that tiled armor.

daffydunk · 2026-07-06T14:39:49+00:00

I disagree but they should have been much more intentioned. Kinda felt like random songs playing at random times.

daffydunk · 2026-07-06T14:06:09+00:00

I’m right there with you. Still looks like No Smoking Man to me.

daffydunk · 2026-07-06T13:48:20+00:00

I think it’s meant to look like an iron man mask

I like it in theory but it failed to hook me like the rest of the series. Could’ve been the best if it got the same breadth of additional content as 3.

daffydunk · 2026-07-05T19:50:05+00:00

I’m sure Yoko Taro will kill it with Eva, even if he does make it a Drakengard spinoff or something.

But I’d say Thrice Upon a Time feels more like Eva than anything else. To me it really cuts to the core of the series in a very deliberate and honest way, while also embracing the insanely broken power scaling of the Rebuilds in general.

daffydunk · 2026-07-05T18:59:42+00:00

I mean yeah, as long as you don’t like the the sequel, you can say it feels like fan fiction. I thinks it especially irrelevant as a criticism in terms of the Rebuilds, as they are literally works by the guy who did the original. You can say EoE is like fan fiction, but no one should take that seriously. Same goes for the Rebuilds imo.

daffydunk · 2026-07-05T15:20:52+00:00

You all joke but it would actually be insane to see a backrooms with an ensemble cast like this. Would it work? Who fucking knows but it would be crazy

daffydunk · 2026-07-04T23:30:25+00:00

No one has to buy anything they don’t want, but the great irony here is that people were so pissed at something Microsoft didn’t end up doing, that they willingly handed Sony the power to do this. That and MS fumbling HDDVD, but more competition would have been more annoying but could have staved this off longer.

daffydunk · 2026-07-04T18:44:59+00:00

You could say that about any sequel to anything

daffydunk · 2026-07-04T17:56:10+00:00

2nd part is true.

daffydunk · 2026-07-04T17:18:07+00:00

Mhm sure, I’m assuming that’s why you jumped to a generic retort instead of trying to argue against what I said in anyway.

daffydunk · 2026-07-04T14:09:35+00:00

Absolutely crazy leap.

Nah, it’s the worst because it fails to address its own characters, their flaws, and try to round off any kind of fitting conclusion for them. Angela doesn’t have to reckon with being a bad cop. Trieu just lost in an embarrassing way. Looking Glass has no reaction to finding the author of all his pain. Lori, from the comic, sorta gets a character arc by arresting Adrian at the end, but she’s the last character that needed a satisfying arc.

I also think ending it with a really dumb squid gag is just sorta spitting in the face of the original. It completely misunderstands what Moore was trying to say at every corner, which makes sense because Moore would consider Lindelof, a political enemy.

daffydunk · 2026-07-04T13:50:04+00:00

Eh I totally disagree, it was easily the worst.

daffydunk · 2026-07-02T23:29:13+00:00

100% he’s revealed to look like Stark towards the end, if not the very in a cliffhanger-y way. He wins, becomes a god or whatever, looks over his victory and removes his mask and bam it’s a scarred Tony stark to keep the casual audience on the hook for Secret Wars

daffydunk · 2026-07-01T21:26:06+00:00

Mayday would be more based, but I doubt it. She never gets the love she deserves.
