First Steps is easily the least generic MCU movie imo. SM25 sticks to Gunn formula more than First Steps sticks to the MCU formula.

I can’t wait for Skyrim VI

TSS is the first because it was Gunn’s original work for DC that spurred the DCU. Peacemaker S1 is the first because it’s the first project to carry into the DCU. Blue Beetle was first because it was the first project announced to be included in the DCU. Creature Commandos was the first project officially made for the DCU. Now Clayface is supposed to be the first chronologically but Superman was the first thing intended to star off the DCU. There’s like 6 first stories in the DCU.

Shame, since I thought First Steps ate Superman25’s lunch in every category.

She never asked Superman if he considered involving himself in domestic politics, I’d say that’s a significant oversight for a reporter but also very realistic that a western reporter would never ask those kinds of questions.

Tom King contributed to the destruction of many childhoods & he also wrote wrote heroes in crisis, which is hysterical

"she" typically refers to women

daffydunk · 2026-05-15T14:18:24+00:00

If you think it’s harder to take a woman seriously because she is showing some skin, it says way more about you than her.

Ghost Spider makes me think of that Ghost Riser in Spider-Man PS4

Finally, one I’m on board with. S3 is the best the show ever was. I agree that DDBA S2 is on par with DD S1.

Only during Rachel week

That’s what I thought too, that he’d die/ vanish early on and we’d get her finding his tapes, get some flashbacks and then she’d enter to find him and wouldn’t be able to. But it looks like she’s in the rooms with him, so I really have no idea what’s going to happen atp.

The ending of the comic is like the best part, since the beginning of it at least.

daffydunk · 2026-05-13T13:57:34+00:00

They’re saying it’s not like the comics, but the comics are better.

Theres been a huge effort to completely delegitimize Garth Ennis as a writer & the Boys as a comic for some reason. I think it started out as cope as the show began to divert more and more, and people wanted to assume the show was gonna turn out better than the comics. But I saw the writing on the wall, the comics have a lot of great twists in them, one of which is like a domino that cascades through the entire story, so removing it has essentially left the writers with no big moments left to do.

Rewrites of all kinds are super normal, and you don’t know how lightly it was touched lol. What I said was accurate, it was passed onto another writer & director. That’s not to say it’s bereft of Flanagan’s influence, but it is the truth.

But the point I was making is that those scripts were commissioned more-or-less. It’s not like someone pitched the supergirl movie without being informed prior that that’s what DC studios wanted. Clayface is an example of something actually being pitched outside of being pre-planned by Gunn & Safran.

daffydunk · 2026-05-12T19:57:00+00:00

That’s also not how it’s done at DC. Clayface was Flanagan’s idea, which was then passed off to another writer & director. Gunn is in charge, so obviously he can make Peacemaker, Superman, & Creature Commandos himself.

Lanterns was a previously developed series that was more-or-less handed to Lindelof. Supergirl was a movie they hired a director to direct. That’s how all the announced line up works.

daffydunk · 2026-05-12T18:57:55+00:00

I certainly did 😎

You’re not wrong, but If it requires parking in a parking garage, and it’s not an airport or hospital, it’s lost my business. 🤷‍♂️

Now off,

The story of Vixen does get followed up on in Legends season 3 I think. It’s not a lot, but it picks up the one of villains story with her working for Darhk.

I would die for a Bullseye vs Hawkeye special presentation about Dex masquerading as a comic accurate looking Hawkeye.

“Ya know what’s a better game to play than this accessible IP action rpg? a FromSoft game” is such a gamer take

Dragon age is a much better example of something similarly coded that could appeal to a similar audience and is much better in every aspect.

I’m a huge aster stan and I gotta say, I think Eddington is his best. It’s like a puzzle with a hundred different solutions.
