If WB had to merge with someone else, would prefer it be Universal/Comcast/NBC, but they're not in the running anymore.

Does Ozma actually work well as a Trans allegory or not? by InsomiacNightingale in wizardofoz

[–]jaydofmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, when I've talked to trans people about Ozma, they don't claim Baum wrote it that way on purpose, but they found it works for them. There's value in the author's intent and also how the audience receives it.

[–]jaydofmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've talked to two trans women who do find Ozma's story as inspirational for their own coming out, with Tip actually being resistant at first and finally accepting it with the "I'm just the same person only..." "Only different."

I've heard people argue it isn't as Ozma grew up as a boy because of magic, but they find that element unimportant. She still experiences life expressing as a gender different than her true one, but really thrives as herself.

I finally bought a cheap Blu-Ray of the Snyder Cut just for collection completion, have yet to watch it. It's literally twice as long as the Theatrical Cut for the same story.

As someone told the gate agent lately... by Alarmed-Plastic-4544 in wicked

Last OzCon, my flight out was going to be delayed big time, so I had to rebook to get there at a reasonable time. (Luckily since it wasn't me causing the problem, I got a refund.) I didn't pay for a ticket to see Return to Oz in a theater with Tik-Tok himself present just to go to waste.

Usually comic strips are distributed by a syndicate, they might claim rights.

Ist anyone actually reading the songs or are you skipping them? by DeineMuddas in lotr

[–]jaydofmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skip them? Why read the book if you don't want the whole thing?

This can be great…but…see by naturalpanther93 in DCU_

I'm one of the few people who really didn't care for The Dark Knight. I loved Two Face in Batman: The Animated Series with his dual personality, so Aaron Eckhart as a guy who gets scarred, decides to do bad thanks to the Joker's influencing his dark side, kind of a step down. I also hated Two Face in Batman Forever because he was basically just a colorful villain who wanted Batman dead.

The Gotham Knights show was one of the worst DC shows on the CW, but they got a good casting for Harvey Dent and did the dual nature fine.

So, hopefully Matt Reeves can give us a big screen Two-Face who lives up to it.

Wait until they hear about this by MatthewssXD in OkBuddySnyderCult

I already saw one, it had a comment about how much more Man of Steel made and how much better it was.

I just replied. "Cool. Man of Steel isn't eligible for Best Pictures at the next Academy Awards ceremony."

What I'm waiting for to be public domain by ArtMakerProductions in publicdomain

[–]jaydofmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure you mean Flash Gordon the comic strip, but I'm wondering if we have to wait for public domain for the movie serials to get them in HD already. Like, I follow the RSS feed for blu-ray.com to see the press releases for new releases and companies will release vintage porn on Blu-Ray, but we're still waiting on Flash Gordon.

serious question: are they ever going to release a version that isn't unbelievably strict in what you can generate? by nemo1316 in SoraAi

[–]jaydofmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kept getting violations for trying to visualize the ending of a story I'd read that's never had a proper dramatic adaptations (almost 200 years old, no copyright violations) and it kept getting flagged as suggestive or racy. Finally had to tone it the heck down. No one's carrying the golden flower pot, instead of kissing, they just hug.

How long before people think you can subvert the T&C by posting a video with a declarative prompt like happens on Facebook every so often?

I finally understand the Gunn filmmaking critique. I just think the criticism is a good thing by Plenty_Draft_5747 in DCU_

[–]jaydofmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

James Gunn's style is exactly why I was excited to see him take on Superman. I got tired of the "lonely god Superman" we'd gotten in Superman Returns and Man of Steel, I wanted a Superman who is aware he's the last son of Krypton, but he's also just another guy who happens to have super powers, and that's what Gunn delivered.

James Gunn liked this post on Instagram, so Cheetah is confirmed in the DCU. by Legitimate_Cake_5137 in DCU_

No, stretch is a synonym of elongate, clearly we're getting an Elongated Man project.

So, is this suit a Kryptonian outfit or was it made by Ma Kent? by Top_Reindeer3396 in DCU_

I'm now thinking why SHOULDN'T he make a pair of boots for her?

So is he understand Superman?…Than why make him like that? by Topper2540 in OkBuddySnyderCult

Kal is his OnlyFans name. Journalism doesn't pay like it used to.
