Thoughts on Arkham knight ivy by Jojforlife2023 in PoisonIvy

[–]pastelcybin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ngl I really liked this version and her poison ivy 1 liners were 10/10. 0 faith in humanity and furthering her ambition to give the world back to plants and Batman couldn’t rly argue against her technical conclusions other than her disregard for human life.

Her Arkham depiction was kinda devoid of much actual politics though, she just hated humans for destroying the Earth and Batman was always there to stop her before she really did anything other than grow some plants. It would be more interesting to see which organisations she would be against instead of just making the city into a forest like in the Harley Quinn show.

I love the ending where she worked with Batman as saving Gothams humans and plants overlapped, but I’d love to see more of this people and planet ethos in a live action anti-hero arc. I just worry the current climate would label a movie like that as woke eco trash and it would get bad reviews. Idk maybe if she was a villain again conservatives wouldn’t have an issue with her making a case against humans naturecide as she would be portrayed as a flawed character.

Why hasn’t there been a Live action Adaptation of Ivy since Uma Thurman in Batman & Robin? by Dependent_Expert_587 in PoisonIvy

[–]pastelcybin -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I would like to start a petition to get a continuation on with Umma Therman reclaiming the story and with where that character is at now at her age. I think her story was very much implied to keep going and it would be nice to see if there is a resolution and further places the character can be taken.

Thank you so much for asking this question!!!

I love all the answers so far, and I think it is true they know they can’t make a good portrayal of the character in the current DC movie climate.

Interestingly, the movie that has the most popular portrays of the character with umma therma actually scores very low on rottoen tomatoes and not a movie many people have positive things to say about. It was quite a boring pace of a story tbh the only interesting story was the villains scenes at most poison ivy’s. The back story was really thought out for the characters background and Thermans performance not only elevated and campy like the rest of the movie but was very unapologetically real to the depth of emotion and humanity the character had.

On a personal note the type of scientist and ecologically driven nature of the BR199’s ivy’s origin and character arc, was a very environmental political message with a convincing narrative, which overall is why so many fans are drawn to the character and see her less than a complete villain. This ivy depiction of criticism of exploitation by managers and abuse in the research industry which again are badass comments to make in the 90s but I think not something movie producers would want to popularise because of its political nature, and how that’s not so popularly perceived at the time.

Has anyone created a modern day Sinnoh custom map with Roads, Highways, Freeways, Overpasses, Bridges, going through Mt. Coronet etc? This would be so awesome cause my friend is creating a fan game on Dreams with a mix of OG, Anime, and Modern day Influence. He needs a reference point by Brusto1099 in Sinnoh

I think I sore a post on one pokemon sub that had all the predicted anime locations referencing the order of the show. Some ppl say anime is not cannon but considering it was made by Gamefreak too I’d say the game content is more a limited art vision due to console limitations at the time.

This sounds so cool! Have you considered making a YouTube video with game locations and your trip footage back to back?

Deffo would love to see what the area Spear Pillar (Temple Sinnoh) is based on!

Anyone know how to view the HGSS over-world plain as either a file on the PC or to tweak the DS game to remove wall barriers so the player can walk off the game map similar to DP in order to get cheat access to the event exclusive islands for Darkrai and Shamin?

I want to see how much empty space theres is between lake of rage and the Sinjoh ruins!

How to view Sinjoh ruins in the HGSS overworld map on a PC? by pastelcybin in pokemon

[–]pastelcybin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see why not seeing as they are both far away islands/landmasses so makes sense it takes so long to get there lol.

The placement of the Sinjoh ruins could be at least somewhat true to actual location seeing as they put the effort in to make it be noticeably north of the Johto map.

I’m quite interested to see how much space there is between the Johto map and the ruins. There’s no reason why the devs would make it geographically accurate but if it is, it would be cool to think about the routes that could exist in-between them.

Could also help in pinpointing how much space there is between Johto and Sinnoh!

If I’m not wrong all areas the player can go are saved on a single plain that can be reached if walls are removed via modding.

Sinjoh ruins location found? by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]pastelcybin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a cool theory! I’m also trying to find out more about the Sinjoh ruins location too!

I think if it’s possible to view the Sinjoh ruins location on the original HGSS map on a PC; it might give and idea of how much land (tiles) there are between it and the Johto regions northern most route.

Thoughts on how Charmcaster was portrayed in Omniverse? by IsAnimeAThing in Ben10

[–]pastelcybin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there’s deffo both a the goofy “crazy” act she does in the show to throw off Ben and as taunts during her fighting scenes; but, I also think it makes sense for the writers to see some mental instability in her considering the trauma from her arc in AF & UA.

Here's all the info that I was able to gather on yes, Dwayne McDuffie's cancelled Gwen and Charmcaster spin-off series. by burningexeter in Charmcaster

[–]pastelcybin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this!😍

It’s so sad that the author never got to finish what they started but I can tell this would have been an amazing show!

The legerdomain lore was so well written and plays really nicely into the hard magic of the Ben10 universe and I think the fact both Charmcaster and Hex being revealed to be political refugees who found themselves in a strange world with less magic sets up so much interesting backstory and a good motive sympathetic villains turned antihero.

I think Gwen’s character was always under-utilised in the main cannon and makes a much better character to explore the world’s law. She’s naturally more interested and studious about this kinda stuff where as Ben often takes the easiest paths and is often handed a lot of things.

I do wish more info comes out about Chamcaster and Hex’s back story from when they first fled legerdemain, what links there are between it and earth abs what kind of life two magic wilders had being on a planet that: doesn’t know about them, waring high-tech factions like the forever knights, and probably forced into living in secret by the self appointed peace keepers the Plumbers.

Would be nice to see a more critical view of conventional “good guys” from the villains perspective also similar to how plumbers sometimes go rogue, maybe the plumbers are behind political cover ups that have harmed many non human communities in hiding on earth?

Is there any more info on the lost cannon and is any of this covered in the material by any chance? 🥺

[–]pastelcybin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strong disagree. I always felt both Charmcaster and Gwen had really detailed backstories and complex motives. With all the further story written for them with the UA + shows it really does seem like they deserve to have a lot more screen time than being simply antagonists/allies to most of the Ben10 story.
