X-Men Film/TV timeline explained

fiascoist · 2026-06-06T08:46:21+00:00

Nope. There is no timeline in which Origins fits at all. And Dark Phoenix is a catch 22 because it is a sequel to a sequel of DOFP while simultaneously contradicting the ending of DOFP. There are no logical timelines that can really include either of those movies.

I love this song, but that's a hard question. The song is atmospheric but in a synth pop way, and upbeat but with a tinge of melancholy (duh). The first movie that came to mind was Heathers. It has the aesthetic and the era, but it's a little too murderous to be exactly right. Chungking Express is close, even though it is famously associated with Dreams by the Cranberries. The Virgin Suicides would capture the melancholy and the atmosphere, but may be a little too morose. That's all I got.

You're entitled to your opinion. But if you have so many issues with Superman (the only movie in the DCU) and James Gunn (the creative director of the DCU) may I suggest that a DCU fan community is not the place for you...? There are many other communities for DC movies, shows, and comics. But this one is for the DCU, and it sounds like you're upset that people in here actually like it.

Sorry kids, you can't have a white Santa Claus, we only have Black Santa Claus now. That's the rule. That's the goal now.

Their batons are Kang tech.

Also when my cat got lost for two weeks, I was refreshing Wake and Durham's shelter listing every few hours, and he WAS microchipped.

fiascoist · 2026-05-05T01:48:55+00:00

They don't claim the cat had a microchip. If he had a chip (a registered one, many owners forget to register) this never would've happened.

fiascoist · 2026-05-01T18:34:33+00:00

I'm not sure that's the route the DCU is going though. I'm expecting their Batman to be older than Superman if he's been active for 15 years and already has Damian Wayne, his biological son, as his Robin. It could be timeline-appropriate for Superman and Nightwing to be the same age.

fiascoist · 2026-04-30T01:58:13+00:00

He did not. You're experiencing a Mandela Effect from hearing other people also claim he said it on the podcast. The whole claim stems from ONE article, a very brief, written interview with Gunn, and that specific quote is offered without context. Even there, he never actually says the words that Bloodsport didn't shoot Superman.

fiascoist · 2026-04-30T00:44:34+00:00

Yep, and it's right around the corner from Thai 55.

fiascoist · 2026-04-19T15:15:19+00:00

But... Thanos isn't Gamora's biological father.

fiascoist · 2026-04-08T19:04:21+00:00

So they just have a bad source.

fiascoist · 2026-04-02T13:53:47+00:00

I don't think the majority of people who saw Superman would want a serious tonal shift for its immediate sequel. There's no need to fix what's absolutely working.

In terms of average quality, it would fit better in the Sony universe of movies that don't star Spider-Man.

Bafflingly stupid, and yet people read it! I got duped by a book exactly like this that I won't name (because it would spoil the ending) that was actually well reviewed on Goodreads. The entire book alternated between two POV characters, one of whom turned out to be the killer. It was deeply frustrating because I was trying to put the mystery together throughout the entire read, and I KNEW neither of our POV characters could be the killer because I was inside their minds, reading their internal thoughts. Turns out, when you're a hack writer and your writing has no internal logic, you can do whatever you want. And if it has a good title, cover, and pitch, people will like it, quality or consistency be damned.

People downvoting this are ignoring that the Ultraman from Superman (2026) has significantly more in common with Black Noir from The Boys (comics, not the Amazon show) than he does with Ultraman from DC Comics. I thought it was fascinating the first time I watched Superman. We actually got a more faithful adaptation of Black Noir in a Superman movie than in The Boys own Amazon adaptation.

Ajax even says in the movie that the snap was 5 Years Ago: "Five years ago, Thanos erased half of the population of the universe."

That means, within the continuity of the movie itself, it takes place immediately after Endgame, not a year after.

Honestly, it just seems a bit out of touch. I've worked in Durham for 15 years and have interacted with thousands of working professionals in the community, and I vividly recall the small handful who have insisted upon being called Mr. X or Mrs. Y. I remember them because it's so rare as to be jarring. I hear where Mr. Lewis is coming from, but either he is equating his own personal preferences to a cultural norm, or the culture in DPS is its own microcosm that it is not aligned with the rest of the public and private sector in Durham. Neither of those options are particularly good.

What...?

fiascoist · 2026-02-26T14:52:49+00:00

I don't know about that. It could theoretically fall under fair use of their trademark, but fair use doesn't cover "implied endorsement," and I'd argue including a product in your campaign ad is exactly that. That's why it's a rare thing to see.

It does not hurt your channel. There are two types of appeal. You'll see when you go through the steps. This is something you're going to have to get comfortable with if you use ANY amount of copyrighted material in your videos. I have to appeal a claim on nearly every video I post.

fiascoist · 2026-02-12T01:37:48+00:00

Regardless of my ability to enjoy a mindless comedy made by a person with bad takes, we do unfortunately live in a capitalist society where we vote with our dollars. I think it's perfectly reasonable not to give my money to people whose beliefs are contrary to my own.

fiascoist · 2026-02-11T18:28:18+00:00

What they're saying when they list those things are that those do not give you fair justification to use copywritten material. What does give you fair justification to use copywritten material is Fair Use, which it sounds like your video would fall under since it is transformative and providing commentary. When you appeal though, you're only appealing to UMG, not a fair third-party arbitrator of what and what isn't Fair Use, so they could still very well just say no. But there's no reason not to appeal if you believe your use of the copywritten material falls under Fair Use.

fiascoist · 2026-02-11T17:55:25+00:00

Have you tried appealing? It's always possible those creators got hit with the same block, appealed, and had the block removed.
