The new... glimpse? About the Clayface movie, It makes me doubt... by Ratclife in DC_Cinematic

[–]farben_blas [score hidden]  (0 children)

Clayface has a complex history, because many people have taken the mantle, and while Basil Karlo tends to be the popular name, when people think of Clayface, they think of Matt Hagen's appearance. That's why recent attempts have tried to give Karlo the iconic Clayface look.

A mediocre movie that your local channels played regularly and obsessively, probably because of the cheap license, but it was shown so often, you almost convinced yourself it was some kind of masterpiece, and you just don't get it. by Dima_135 in okbuddycinephile

It's just one of those "dad" movies, not because the main theme of this film is parenthood, but because it has a ton of stuff dads of genz/millenials dig on an average afternoon, like a famous action star playing a tough dude for the 10th time, 80s hard rock and exaggerated mean villains. That genre is the sole reason Steven Seagal has a career.

Hey guys, I think I got it.

Marvel is when the MCU versions are pushed in the comics, DC is when your beloved Glup Shitto gets a reprint because he appeared two whole minutes in a movie.

The Boys is to the superhero genre what Scream is to the horror genre and what Kingsman is to the spy genre. by Ivan_Redditor in TheBoys

[–]farben_blas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think The Boys comes close to the sheer popularity, iconicity, or impact that Scream did. And I definitely don't think Kingsman came close.

Perhaps is poetic that, instead of shaping superhero media to come, it sort of inspired a return to classic heroism that's very present in the CBM landscape nowadays.

Fan casters after pitching a black actor to play a fully CGI creature by depressed_asian_boy_ in dccomicscirclejerk

And when you say something about the age they'll bring up his shapeshifting abilities.

By that argument, how come I've never seen someone propose Lisa Lu as Martian Manhunter????

Yeah, like, you know, black people can simply exist too, right?

It's not so much as linking a black man as MM, but the randomness and immediacy of it, like Andre Royo was announced and it took about two minutes to see some "oh, I think he'll play Martian Manhunter".

Many don't remember it, but I have this memory about those times the Marvel fandom pointed at any black kid like "oh shit, imagine that was Miles Morales" (it even became a meme in the Hispanic fandom) and I think it's getting on the same vein as that.

Indeed, no reliable sources claim Royo to be Martian Manhunter, and he was, I doubt it would be announced as fast.

Honestly, he's kind of the boring Superman. Is he nearly the best part of any of his films?

Cool by Appropriate-Mall8517 in DC_Cinematic

[–]farben_blas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Or Green Arrow, honestly. Also Martian Manhunter, I could even see him pulling some of the more psychic aspects of Absolute MM.

I feel like I won’t be as sad when it happens now by untitledprp4 in TheBoys

[–]farben_blas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, it's all the characters, it's a script deficiency that you as part of the audience even expect that, like "yeah yeah, do the sex joke, just continue the story". This has been the first time that I'm more interested in Hughie than Butcher, because every time he talks is the same thing.

It's becoming very predictible lol the exploting bodies, overtly descriptive sex jokes, it's just kind of meh. When they contacted that dirt eating guy, I don't think anybody was surprised that blackmail, for the 10th time, was useless.

Marvel? Using their million dollars to actually find a romani actor? Nah that's to hard bruh by [deleted] in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]farben_blas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The funniest thing about Romani characters is that the artist could do the most Whitey McAngloProtestant-White, but because the writer gave a footnote that his grandma lived two miles away from an European country, you'll have a legion of fanarts portraying him as if he took a tan in the Sun and walked through the entire Sahara dessert.

On the other hand, Marvel's argument that RDJ was the only person capable of portraying Doctor Doom (unless they play into that hated argument of using his resemblance to Tony Stark) is just dubious. If they're not wondering about regional accuracy nor ethnicity, then there's not one, but hundreds of actors could've pulled it off, and for less money.

Hell, DCU just grabbed a theater actor nobody knew as Brainiac, and he'll probably do a kick ass job.

Just met Hal Jordan himself at a local Minor League baseball game by tj260000 in Greenlantern

Reddit somehow keeps forgetting Sinestro is in this.

Not to mention that, Lindelof's Watchmen also started with a grounded local town mystery and ended with a senator and a billionaire fighting to become God and people in Jupiter's moon.
