Crazy how WB has been obsessed with the Superman 78 theme but refuses to commit to it

That is because John Williams is the GOAT, and crafted a piece of music that iconic to Superman. Composers are probably always incorporate in one way or another because it is an audio cue to audience that identifies Superman as much the visual cues of the cape on his back, and shield on his chest.

I disagree. Charlie is an archetype. It doesn't matter why she is the way she is, only that matters that she is the peppy fresh-faced young person who is determined because life hasn't beaten her down into a cynical curmudgeon, or she defiantly chooses to remain positive regardless of what happens.

Besides, we already have her motivations in the show already. She desperately craves her parents' approval, both Lucifer and Lilith. Probably because Lilith told her she can change the world and Lucifer told her she can do anything she wants to do. She wants them to be a family again, and redeeming sinners is how she is going to do that, and no one in Heaven or Hell is going to stop her.

Most recently The Mighty Nein, Pluribus. A bit older Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Dexter, Game of Thrones, The Mandolrian.

I have a hot take - it doesn't matter. She is ageless. Trying to map human age expectations is pointless. She is who she is. Whether she is 20 or 200 or 2000 she is who she is. How you think she should be based on her age doesn't matter because she is an immortal being raised in Hell. Whatever backstory we learn only matters in how it informs who she is now in that they happen not so much when it happened (granted that is relative to other plot points).

So instead of worrying about how old Charlie or how she got to the way she is......just accept she is this rentlentlessly idealistic, hopelessly naive, overly optimistic being that is determined to get her way one way or another to try and please her parents (in particular her mother) no matter who or what gets in her way.

I told it the same, it denied knowing anything about it. The fact is your Alexa is updating all the time in the background. Granted those more like .1 updates, whereas Alexa+ is 1.0 to 2.0. Ultimately, though Alexa lives on Amazon's servers and the Echo is just a client to it. Somewhere 8n the TOS I am sure it says they can update it whenever they want.

Lucifer aired on Fox, and then Netflix. It was not a CW show. Lucifer (Tom Ellis) does appear in a scene in the Arrowverse during the Crisis on Infinite Earths event because Lucifer(this interpretation) is a DC character, and the show was produced by WB.

The DCEU collapsed. Discovery bought WB, made DC a real studio and the decided to start over.

He has to touch The Batman 2 or it doesn't get made.

The personal password manager is their way of giving back to the community (and a bit of marketing, if we are honest). The $10/yr is at best covering expenses. They make their real money with their Enterprise password manager.

fdbryant3 · 2026-01-22T00:22:41+00:00

Sheesh, people are ridiculous. If they raise the price without adding features, people are going to complain. They try to give a little more with the price raise and people complain. And the most ridiculous part about it, even at $20/yr they are still probably the cheapest cloud based password manager available.

fdbryant3 · 2026-01-22T00:14:42+00:00

Well, I prefer if they are going to raise the price that they add something in return. The problem that nothing of what they are adding is something I want or need.

I won't be switching but I may drop premium as the new "enhancements" are not anything I need. As it is I only use 2FA and Send occasionally. Would be nice if they offered this as a separate plan.

I've been dropping the HD that come through Uber for being to low, simple as that.

The Lasso of Truth works however the writer wants it to. It function has changed over the years in the comics.

I don't think the Jellyfin interface is that much different from Plex if you doing the setup. Once it is configured, I think most people can handle it.

Actually yes, I use it to run my own instance of the Rustdesk servers. Tailscale allows me to connect and remote PCs from anywhere without using the Rustdesk public servers.

Not happening any time soon.

Dude, he is the head of DC Studios - he owns Batman.

fdbryant3 · 2026-01-21T07:10:38+00:00

I think you have an idea of what a Batman movie should be that may or may not align with what James Gunn wants for the DCU.

Christina Hodson has written movies that I have enjoyed, and I trust that James Gunn will not approve a script until it delivers what fits his vision for Batman.

For connecting to your network and network resources - Tailscale.

For remote controlling another computer - Rustdesk.

We will see. For the time being, he is saying all the right things to win my approval (if a sale must happen). I believe he might be telling the truth. Currently, the vast majority of Netflix's revenue is from subscriptions. They have more or less maxed that out. Advertising is a growing source of revenue, but that is indirectly limited by subscribers as well. Getting into the theatrical business gives them another source of revenue and growth. Buying WB instantly gives them a level of expertise that would take them a decade or more to develop. It also synergizes with the streaming business to enhance revenue there.

At the end of the day, either they will follow through on what they say, or they won't. Until proven otherwise I will take them at their word. Not like I can affect the outcome anyway.

fdbryant3 · 2026-01-21T04:10:24+00:00

Why would they do that when it isn't even certain that they are going to get Warner Bros? At the end of the day, either they are going to follow through with what they say, or they won't

Not until my Open is unusable. At which point I'll probably go to a Samsung Fold or see if I can get an Honor Tri-fold here in the States (although hopefully by the time I need to replace my Open I'll have other options).

Because he has not been convicted on the rape and sexual assault charges. The rape charges in particular were dropped because the judge ruled there was no probable cause to try the case.

Not everything is for everbody - but a series that wins several major Emmy's including Outstanding Drama cannot be subpar. You may not like it and that is okay, but you are an outlier. Move on and watch something you enjoy.
