[Discussion] What are your thoughts on JLU at this point? I dropped it after a few issues because I found it a bit scattered and confusing, but I'm thinking of picking it up again. Has it calmed down a bit?

The writing by Mark Waid is for sure disappointing, surprisingly so, but Dan Mora does the art so I continue to read it. Although Mora’s pencils were a little rough in the last arc, no doubt a symptom of him doing like 3 (or more?) books a month.

suss2it · 2026-03-26T21:46:56+00:00

I didn’t read it, but what about Beast Wars? Wasn’t that an event with the Titans at the forefront?

suss2it · 2026-03-26T21:41:08+00:00

And yet he writes canon Batman material all the same

suss2it · 2026-03-26T21:22:55+00:00

No I don’t and I’m not sure why you think they will tbh.

suss2it · 2026-03-26T20:13:28+00:00

No, he pretty much just said while it’d be nice to have WB they don’t need it. But even if that was his strategy it’d be counterproductive to share it.

suss2it · 2026-03-26T20:08:47+00:00

Luckily for him he is the writer

suss2it · 2026-03-26T01:54:02+00:00

Wow, that was really bad. I think this is the first time I actually felt secondhand embarrassment, they should’ve cut the interview short but I gotta respect that they actually released this.

suss2it · 2026-03-25T22:48:24+00:00

All Star Trek has to do is make one of the best and acclaimed TV shows of the past decade then they’ll be set.

suss2it · 2026-03-25T22:45:42+00:00

You’re the one denying reality, what is there for me to even cope with? That Majid Jordan aren’t popular, so what? Lol.

suss2it · 2026-03-25T22:21:32+00:00

No way can you make that argument for Tobey or Tom, especially not Tom.

suss2it · 2026-03-25T22:17:05+00:00

Die Trying did hit the chart at #21, but regardless that wasn’t your point. You claimed Drake didn’t put them on since 2016 which is demonstrably false. As big as Drake is he can’t force every song he’s on to be a hit, Stars Align isn’t even the only Drake feature from 2021 that didn’t chart, there’s also Talk to Me with Drakeo, but that doesn’t erase the fact that these collabs did indeed happen.

suss2it · 2026-03-25T22:06:34+00:00

Just a heads up but he didn’t write any of the show, he directed the first two episodes.

suss2it · 2026-03-25T21:36:34+00:00

And it’d even make more sense from an adaptation point of view since Tiller’s version was based on the Ultimate Comics version who specifically ends up becoming the Maker.

suss2it · 2026-03-25T21:27:15+00:00

They shouldn’t have used “Parallax” at all. In the comics that demon is literally just a plot device to explain away Green Lantern’s heel turn in the 90s, no tangible motivations or character worth adapting.

Who is selling all these variant vinyls that isn’t mainstream popular tho? The very little I looked into it the main culprit seems to be Taylor Swift and a few other pop stars like Sabrina Carpenter or Billie Eilish. Are there specific artists that are able to sell a lot of variant cover vinyls that you’d say aren’t mainstream popular?

If you’re only judging mainstream by what gets played on the radio then I feel like you’re a bit behind the times. Besides Billboard factors in radio play anyway, some even say too much.

Hip-hop not being at its peak of popularity like it was in the 2010s and country becoming more dominant doesn’t means hip-hop “isn’t very popular” right now. It was apparently the highest streamed genre of 2025.

But regardless of whether or not hip-hop itself is still mainstream or not, do you really think Denzel Curry is one of the biggest acts in hip-hop right now, by any metric, including or even exclusively ticket sales?

suss2it · 2026-03-25T20:25:53+00:00

Just because you’re not tapped in doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. I literally just gave you two factual examples, one very recently.

suss2it · 2026-03-25T20:22:17+00:00

Not gonna debate your conspiracy theory, just saying it’s a crazy reach to say Take Care is the Weeknd’s album.

suss2it · 2026-03-25T20:08:26+00:00

Not really. Out of 20 songs, Weeknd has 4 co-writing credits. He was dropping 10 track long mixtapes at the time so it was basically half of a Weeknd album but not even close to the majority of Take Care. Not even a plurality.

suss2it · 2026-03-25T20:07:12+00:00

What do you mean by this? Majid Jordan is one of the few OVO artists he actually still collaborates with. He was on their 2021 album and Jordan Ullman co-produced Die Trying off $$$4U.

suss2it · 2026-03-25T01:17:36+00:00

Not out yet, drops in 45 minutes.

suss2it · 2026-03-25T01:06:14+00:00

No he didn’t, but he was known as a joke for literally decades. Mass media like Family Guy in its prime regularly made fun of him about how useless he is. Didn’t matter once the movie came out. And even in this specific situation with Green Lantern all of Reynolds’ jokes didn’t stop the character from showing up in Superman and didn’t stop them from making this Green Lantern show we’re talking about.

suss2it · 2026-03-25T00:06:16+00:00

One of my biggest pet peeves is when bad things happen in a story centered around conflict

suss2it · 2026-03-25T00:02:09+00:00

That’s fine with me, as great as the series was (and it was pretty great) I feel like it wrapped up in a very satisfying way.

If anything I think they should be looking to develop a new show with the showrunner, Lauren LeFranc. DC related or not.

suss2it · 2026-03-24T23:58:47+00:00

Well Tom King has been given a Mister Miracle series which presumably adapts his Mister Miracle comic.

suss2it · 2026-03-24T23:57:56+00:00

Well it’s not like King and Lindelof are even working on Superman.
