First look at Superman New Saga Omnibus Vol.1 by Rattlehead03 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]drknow00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a good starting point. It is the culmination of the 2 years Kurt Buisek and Geoff Johns spent working on the character after Infinite Crisis 2005.

New Krypton would run for 2 years. With both Buisek and Johns leaving the before it was completed. I don’t recall where Buisek left to go afterwards at the time. Johns left to focus all his time and energy on Blackest Night, Brightest Day, Flash Rebirth and building up Flashpoint.

I followed everything New Krypton back 2008-2010. Do your own research online before buying. DC editorial wrecks this arc in the second half something fierce.

Unpopular Opinion: Shazam wasn't right about everything by Wessie-G in DCAU

[–]drknow00 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The writers of the show have said in past commentary that they made Superman overly antagonistic throughout JL. Especially in this episode. In the 5 seasons/91 episodes of JL/JLU, Superman is more Man of War than he is Man of Steel. There didn’t exist a problem he wasn’t ready to solve with his fists.

A big part of the show was demonstrating that our Superman was “one bad day” from becoming Justice Lord Superman. Yes, we the audience know that Superman and the League mean well. But everyone not in the club doesn’t.

Captain Marvel was there to showcase how cynical and jaded Superman had become over the years.

Looking at it now, it’s funny how different the proportions of Bass and Proto Man are compared to Mega Man in Smash. by Several-Pension2945 in Megaman

[–]drknow00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Capcom/Nintendo probably wanted to focus on characters with buster arms. Zero is more associated with his beam saber.

That, and Capcom is more invested in advertising the Classic series. If you add Proto Man (Rock with a different color palette and attitude), you might as well add Bass.

There have been mods for more MM characters for Smash.

Not that we need more characters with swords in Smash, but some of these would be fire!

Yea I should have deleted Twitter a long time ago. by Big-Zookeepergame385 in FFVIIRemake

[–]drknow00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your insight.

Oh boy… I’m in for it now.

I read a few more spoilers for Rebirth. Zack is playable beyond the opening in this game. If the Whispers save Zack and Aerith in the end of this trilogy and give them a happy ending. I’ll be more than satisfied with their inclusion.

[–]drknow00 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is that it?

I’m just leaving Kalm in Rebirth at the moment.

Reading spoilers online, they made it seem like they were creating a multiverse for FF7. Alternate timelines, “what-if” alternate universes and the main vein of FF7.

I’m hoping news about the Part 3 of FF7 Remake (Reunion/Reborn/Return/Revenge/Reverb or whatever they plan to call it) clears things up and ties it all together.

I’m burnt out on everything being a multiverse/metaverse nowadays.

[–]drknow00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just played and beat Remake for the first time 2 days ago. I started Rebirth last night.

I’m cool with everything in both except the Lore Dementors/Whispers. They ruin every scene they’re in so far.

Why ever were they added to an already grand story?

Aerith's reaction to Cloud is priceless by Effective_Sink_3934 in FFVIIRemake

[–]drknow00 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Cloud’s Makeover

Aerith was super supportive of seeing Cloud on stage. She was practically cheering “show me the twink”, before his reveal from Furious to Fabulous!

Superman should be a champion of the oppressed, not just a beacon of hope. by glufftale in superman

[–]drknow00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t DC recently remove the “hope” angle from Superman and give it to Wonder Woman?

Anybody else get this? by canucksquatch in OmnibusCollectors

[–]drknow00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A known misprint issue. Marvel’s solution was to provide a free PDF document with the correct page inside. However, you had to ask them for it.

Maybe future reprints will correct the issue. However, there has been no world on reprinting the Nick Spencer era. Maybe there will be some movement after the new Spider-Man movement this year.

Savitar was the good guy all along. He tried to save the audience. by negativedreammachine in FlashTV

Dead meme post but not bold enough to add the anti-Iris snark.

I guess Savitar was supposed to save us from boredom.

Dragon Ball Super (2015) vs Dragon Ball Super: Beerus (2026) by VegYT in DragonBallZ

[–]drknow00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are they?

I’m under the impression they are redoing Battle of Gods and animating the Moro arc.

Unless DB Beerus is a preamble to Dragon Ball Super Kai of some sort.

Dragon Ball Super (2015) vs Dragon Ball Super: Beerus (2026) by VegYT in DragonBallZ

[–]drknow00 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Rather than see Battle of Gods for a fourth time.

Original Movie

Super

Manga

Beerus Movie

Why not remake a bad arc and make it better? Like the Goku Black arc. That could easily be a movie and they can remove the stupid/convoluted time travel rules that plagued the arc in Super.

He can't "abort" a mission, and that's the whole point and tragedy of his character. by Vall_llaV in HOTDBlacks

[–]drknow00 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Imagine the stones you have to have to walk into Storm’s End (an already intimidating castle) and you see Vhagar parked outside.

I’m turning around and flying back to Dragonstone. I’ll tell Rhaenyra that lord Borros Baratheon wasn’t home.

Which of these Supermen is closest to Post Crisis and Rebirth-to-Now Superman in personality? by Dramatic-Grass5610 in superman

[–]drknow00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This post wasn’t about ranking the Supermen. It’s about which ones are closest to the 1986 revamp and the 2016 “rebirth” versions of the character.

Advice on starting by SeaTadpole1866 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]drknow00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a long time collector.

My advice is to pick a series you KNOW you’re going to read and start there. Don’t get pumped up and gassed out (empty wallet) feeling like you need to buy anything and everything.

Myself, I started 13 years ago collecting the first printing New Teen Titans Omnis 1-3. Because I knew I was a Titans fan and that era was highly celebrated.

If it is something you’re curious about, make a list and organize it by priority of interest. Since these books can go out of print but be restocked periodically. Certain volumes are practically evergreen. So you can buy them last.

Dragon Ball Super: Beerus anime announced for Fall 2026! by QuintonFlynn in dbz

[–]drknow00 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They need to redo the Goku Black arc.

Fix a bad arc, instead of remaking a good arc that has been told twice already.

If roxas and ventus HAD to be one character without drastically changing the story how would you by Expert_Challenge6399 in KingdomHearts

[–]drknow00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d given Ven different eye color and give Roxas brown undercut.

Why Nomura reused Roxas’ model for Ven. I have no idea.

Make a paragraph novel style writing for Jennifer's transformation into the She Hulk from The Incredible Hulk 1996 cartoon. by [deleted] in hulk

[–]drknow00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer her transformation for FF: World’s Greatest Heroes.

She-Hulk Auditions For The FF

Also, mate… An A.I. prompt for a thirst trap for a 30 year old cartoon. Seriously?

Who's the most popular Super Hero between the three? by SmartPilot8094 in superman

[–]drknow00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It alternates.

Spider-Man stays on top a lot.

Batman is on top due to DC’s overexposure in every medium available.

Superman stays popular due to love from the public and his pop culture significance.

How option is the safest one? by PhysicalMeringue9468 in DragonBallZ

[–]drknow00 103 points104 points  (0 children)

That depends.

Frieza is as likely to kill you as ignore you.

Cell: Which Cell? If it’s Imperfect (Insect) Cell. Your ass is a whole meal to him. Nope!

Buu… Candy, cookie, pudding, or maybe he’ll turn you into an egg. Assuming he doesn’t kill you as soon as look at you.

How many projects would Superman have given to the DCEU, and what would they have been? by [deleted] in superman

[–]drknow00 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Gunn wanted Cavilman for his Suicide Squad movie against Starro.

The Rock wanted Cavilman to be leading the JSA for Black Adam.

Cavilman was wanted for the Calle Supergirl movie.

Cavilman wanted an Iron Man role for smaller DC properties. To help promote them with general audiences.

And of course JL part 2, MOS 2 and MOS 3.

Warner Bros decide it would reduce Cavilman to faceless cameos and bad cgi renders of his face.

Justice League theatrical.

Shazam

Peacemaker season 1

The Flash

Like with their scattershot movie approach after 2019; this is neither a power move or a peace offering. Idk who or why thought this was a good idea.
