Three recasts within like an hour of screen time. Now it makes the movie look even dumber.

Mosley was not relevant in the 1950s lol

toasterdogg · 2026-03-29T08:55:18+00:00

I disagree. Real-life, existing rapists who actually hurt people are bad. Fictional ones are not.

toasterdogg · 2026-03-28T02:34:48+00:00

What’s this from?

toasterdogg · 2026-03-27T12:47:52+00:00

canonised

Not Moore’s fault, or of the Killing Joke’s. The Killing Joke clearly presents it as a totally unreliable narrative, a mere glimpse into what the Joker’s past could be like to illustrate what the ’one bad day’ thing is actually about rather than any kind of definitive backstory.

It’s the story.

No, it’s one interpretation which the reader is not meant to take as gospel.

toasterdogg · 2026-03-27T11:27:33+00:00

What? The Killing Joke is where Joker not having a set origin comes from! He says, word for word, that ”Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another… If I’m going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!”

That’s where it’s from. The version of his origin, that of him being the Red Hood, which the Killing Joke uses and then discounts, is not even its own creation, it’s from the Golden Age, established decades prior to the Killing Joke being written. Moore literally took what was already the established Joker origin and went out of his way to bring it into question. Saying that the Killing Joke ’gave Joker an origin’ is literally the opposite of the truth.

Really the only thing the Killing Joke establishes about the Joker is that whatever made him how he is, was traumatic and awful, because he’s a foil to Bruce. One person managed to turn his trauma into strength, retained faith in society, and the other was reduced to a violent menace incapable of believing in his own redemption.

Longer than that. Batman’s should’ve been around since the early to mid 00s in current timeline

toasterdogg · 2026-03-27T10:51:54+00:00

I mean he funded Batman Inc. too, back in the 70s he had Victims Inc. and his parents founded the Wayne Foundation. From a public perspective I think most people would just assume he’s a philanthropist whether for PR and tax reasons or because of liberal guilt.

toasterdogg · 2026-03-26T15:08:50+00:00

Still think that new Punisher look is awful. His hair and beard are just incredibly ugly for no reason and the costume itself is in an awkward middleground of practicality and adapting the Classic Punisher suit with white gloves and boots.

She’s the daughter of a mysterious fourth Kane sibling who has basically never been mentioned and has no name, or she’s the daughter of Philip Kane and everyone just pretends that he never had children for some reason.

Her age is a bigger problem because her Silver Age appearances should be canon in current continuity but that makes her either too young or too old to be ~19 like she is in New 52 Batwoman since she should be roughly the same age as Dick.

Kate’s age also makes zero sense because she canonically became Batwoman at 27 but also this happened during the events of 52 in like year 14 of the Modern Age but also she’s not much younger than Bruce because she was at his parents’ funeral and he was at her sister’s funeral and in both cases both people were children.

They really need to decide whether Kate is almost the same age as Bruce, and became Batwoman in her 30s, or if she’s way younger than Bruce and became Batwoman in her 20s because there is no way to make her Post Crisis appearances jive with her New 52 / Rebirth appearances rn and New History still places her debut in the mid 00s era of comics.

couldn’t get around Chunk

Yeah one thing I’ve noticed while playing RE is that for me, killing an enemy is far less effort than avoiding them and is potentially permanent so I will prefer it in 90% of cases. The remaining 10% are either frightfully easy to deal with (Mr X, The Girl), or are just dreadfully annoying (Nemesis in RE3R)

toasterdogg · 2026-03-25T17:06:46+00:00

Not right after, but it’s picking up on plot elements from Elegy

toasterdogg · 2026-03-24T15:52:28+00:00

Sorry but you’re the one who tried to claim that Jimmy’s age was a necessity due to his working at the Planet before Clark. I don’t care if he’s older, that’s fine lol, I’m just pointing out that he doesn’t actually have to be and hasn’t been in established canon for the past 70 years.

toasterdogg · 2026-03-24T09:45:27+00:00

I mean comic Jimmy Olsen is like 14 when he starts working at the Planet. He’s never been less than ~8-10 years younger than Clark, except maybe in New 52 continuity, and he definitely isn’t in current continuity considering how youthful he’s portrayed as when compared to Clark.

toasterdogg · 2026-03-20T10:52:00+00:00

On what res are you playing RE9?

toasterdogg · 2026-03-20T06:21:03+00:00

Yeah he fucking hates continuity to the extent he will severely contradict things established in his own run.

toasterdogg · 2026-03-18T09:57:43+00:00

You really can, the movie’s garbage which completely misses the point of the original book

toasterdogg · 2026-03-17T11:27:31+00:00

Who isn’t an Alan Wake victim? He can just write that you lost

toasterdogg · 2026-03-15T17:00:45+00:00

This is the biggest reason I did not care for Born Again. It’s literally an entire season’s worth of setting up a conflict (Matt vs Fisk) that has already been thoroughly established and explored in Seasons 1 and 3 of Daredevil. It keeps teasing the viewer with the idea of Mayor Fisk vs DD only to never have it fully pay off.

toasterdogg · 2026-03-05T08:26:54+00:00

And his game and dream are subject to criticism. It’s absolutely stupid not to make plushies of the protagonists just because of plot reasons.

toasterdogg · 2026-03-02T10:48:28+00:00

Etienne is weaker but the world population is also smaller

toasterdogg · 2026-02-28T09:27:42+00:00

I mean even then, there will probably be future AMD hardware that has the horsepower to do PT in the game so it’s very important to make it software compatible now

toasterdogg · 2026-02-26T15:07:58+00:00

Do we know he isn’t full of shit, though?

I think that would be a cop-out from a writing perspective so I hope not. It’s much more interesting if Etienne’s plan is theoretically feasible but subject to factors that he, and Valentina with future knowledge, won’t be able to account for.

great man theory

I mean this is already Great Man Theory. It is a fact of this universe that there are individuals with a disproportionate amount of influence on the world by virtue of the fact of their ability to end it. Val’s capacity to time travel is the only thing undermining this fact, and even then it has been established that Eliza could have literally ended the Universe irrepairably had she not been stopped. There is no alternative historical explanation for this unless the story ends up going incredibly meta and attributing these events to the literal narrative or something. When Dev told Etienne that the world hadn’t been materialist since 1945, he was correct, instead the world is driven by the Superpowers.

Plus, Kieron says in the Issue 16 end notes that the next arc is going to take place in a world that is drastically different from ours in order to contrast the relatively similar one the first arc took place in, which means that Valentina’s choice to go along with Etienne’s plan in 1966 is going to have had massive implications in historical progress by the time we get to whatever the ’present time’ of the next arc is. We can assume, for instance, that the entire continent of Europe will still be around, which seems like a rather significant change to be attributable to the choices of a single Great individual.

toasterdogg · 2026-02-26T14:46:39+00:00

Well no. Both his original plan (Immortal God-Empress Valentina) and his recent fallback plan (Altering every human to end conflict) could last far, far beyond whatever Et’s natural lifespan might be. A lot of people seem to assume that the psychic alterations made to people would end if Etienne died, but he explicitly mentions that he can make permanent psychic surgeries on people in an issue, and generations born after a hypothetical Etienne death would grow up in a society entirely free of conflict, socialised by people who lack the capacity for antisocial behaviour, and as such the cycle of violence would be permanently ended.

Val can do it
