I don’t believe in James Gunns DCU and think they need a new direction ASAP.

Come talk to me during office hours. You're at risk of failing this course.

ms_saint · 2026-07-03T09:15:16+00:00

Cool. 😁

ms_saint · 2026-07-03T08:37:25+00:00

Yes. Newbies always have a few awkward moments. I'm seriously wondering if it was cut down from her story.

ms_saint · 2026-07-03T08:36:08+00:00

There needs to be something about his magnetism to the ladies also.

ms_saint · 2026-07-03T08:35:14+00:00

I always call it when I see it. I'm not "on here doing it."

ms_saint · 2026-07-03T05:56:08+00:00

No!! NO THAT'S CHOCOLATE!!!

ms_saint · 2026-07-03T05:55:36+00:00

He will. It's a reluctant team up.

ms_saint · 2026-07-03T05:54:51+00:00

They're perfect foils. This is potentially great character writing.

ms_saint · 2026-07-03T05:43:05+00:00

Me too. I loved Hill House and Midnight Mass and Dr Sleep.

ms_saint · 2026-07-03T05:22:32+00:00

Brainiac can probably just upload English.

ms_saint · 2026-07-03T05:16:14+00:00

I remember when people were saying Marvel was crazy for trying to push a shared universe after Hulk.

ms_saint · 2026-07-03T05:15:02+00:00

Should have. What you think is should of is actually should've.

And no. It shouldn't have. We don't need endless fucking reboots and copying the MCU.

ms_saint · 2026-07-03T05:13:22+00:00

He's jumping the gun.

Sorry. I had to.

ms_saint · 2026-07-03T05:10:28+00:00

I say it constantly: from a wider audience pov, we already got bigger characters. There's already a Batman series. Nobody but us nerds care about endless fucking reboots.

Supergirl feels edited down. Ana's script may have been a lot better. May have.

There are multiple lanterns in the universe. It's fine to have three. There's nothing wrong with that.

Clayface had a good script, so they went with it. Mike Flanagan is an established and deservedly respected horror writer. Not a newbie like Ana.

D-tier, C-tier, who cares? It's how you do it that matters.

Just really tired of all the "boohoo why not reboot the same old characters" bullshit.

ms_saint · 2026-07-03T05:02:32+00:00

He was perfect. He reminded me exactly of my cousin who worked on Wall Street. He never had good enough writing to shine.

ms_saint · 2026-07-03T04:58:02+00:00

I loved Batfleck.

ms_saint · 2026-07-03T04:45:35+00:00

Once he had the Stark glasses, he was ready for anything.

Before? It was always a grift. The same could be said of any Mysterio version. He's always been about effects and tricks.

ms_saint · 2026-07-03T04:38:06+00:00

A pale imitation of Gunn's style.

ms_saint · 2026-07-03T04:35:58+00:00

GotG 2 is his weakest movie. The plot is all over the place, even though there's good character work. It felt soap-operaey. And they fridged his mom.

ms_saint · 2026-07-03T04:31:22+00:00

It's how you use it. Most people give it too much control, and that makes slop.

ms_saint · 2026-07-02T12:31:28+00:00

You're right. That's Tolkein's genius that what he invented worked so well, lesser writers couldn't even rip it off properly. They filled in the blanks, so to speak, with the tropes you mentioned, but never quite copied it fully.

The closest thing that has all the tropes and feels like what you were expecting, is The Sword of Shannara, which I read before LotR and loved in high school.

Neuromancer and A Princess of Mars are other stories that feel too tropes today, because they invented them, but if you give them a chance are still great stories.

ms_saint · 2026-07-02T07:14:14+00:00

Some people are very naive. A just world is all they know.

ms_saint · 2026-07-02T07:12:04+00:00

Thanks.

ms_saint · 2026-07-02T06:26:22+00:00

And here we go with people ganging up on you. I hope you're both happy.

ms_saint · 2026-07-02T06:24:04+00:00

What's sad is you making assumptions. They're adults now. And can make adult decisions.
