They had a "Crisis on Infinite Earths" style world-merger that jettisoned 99% of the Ultimate universe save Miles Morales and Evil Reed Richards that also conveniently made the Fantastic Four practically non-existent and the X-Men marginalized as hell.

Don't tell me you believe the conspiracies that Marvel is loving over the FF and the X-Men because the movie rights are owned by Fox; FF was cancelled because they were selling terribly and X-Men are still pretty big for Marvel. Inhumans are much better than the mutants anyway.

Watching this scene again i noticed at 0:22 an open field/farmland landscape behind the bus and then 1 second later, a bridge flanked by dense forest.


Snyder is a HACK

Joe Quesada hosed over 25 years of Spider-man stories to undo his marriage. It's not like that kind-of petty behavior would be unprecedented.

Yes/No. They brought "Old Man Logan" back. I think he's from an alt. timeline and not just an aged Wolverine, but honestly I can't be bothered to find out. All I know from snippets of what I read online, he's functionally identical to regular Wolverine, people just make "old man" jokes now.

I don't believe the conspiracies that people at Marvel (specifically Ike Perlmutter) is loving over the FF and the X-Men, I believe that Marvel as a company has deliberately marginalized the two and pushed the Inhumans because the historical record shows that that is what they have loving done.

Although given the rumors and history of Perlmutter over the years, it does sound plausible. I mean Geoff Johns bent the entire DC Universe over backwards to bring back Hal Jordan and Barry Allen, and Joe Quesada hosed over 25 years of Spider-man stories to undo his marriage. It's not like that kind-of petty behavior would be unprecedented.

Scratch my last post, the dumbest thing comics ever did was Alternate Timelines

Like a few glimpses into other universes were cool and fun(haha Batman meets 60's Batman and it's wacky) but becoming part of the regular storylines... Ugh

All the talk of how bad the Ultimates was doesn't mention how bad Ultimate Comics: Ultimates: The redundanting was

It started off with a neat idea about a time-dilation society where they advance 1000 years in less than a day and then come out and start kicking everyone's asses with super advanced technology.

That one proved homeless Thor was actually a god despite having the harness and mechanical hammer since after the super advanced society shot laser beams at Odin and killed that tree he went and got his harness and mechanical hammer back.

Man then America fractured because Reed Richards attacked the government? And captain america had to stop texas from nuking california or something?

I think it ended when all of reality exploded or susan storm hosed a robot.

You're missing the fact that we already got the scene that shows just how out of Batman's league Superman is, and it's the very first time the two meet. The only difference is, it's not filmed like the moment in Returns where Clark walks heroically towards a gatling gun, it's filmed like the punchline to a joke. You watch a chase scene that is filled with the Batmobile crashing through pretty much anything they put in front of it, to the point where it just drives directly through the hulls of boats, and buildings, eventually in slow motion, and then Batman turns a corner, we get the "oh gently caress god has come to take me" look on Affleck's face, and then the Batmobile bounces off of Superman like a lovely wind-up car. It's hilarious.

I swear, every time people poo poo talk that movie as if "Batman v Superman is poo poo" is some sort of cinematic axiom, I just want to sit them down in front of the movie and watch them watch it, so I know that we actually watched the same movie.

The best way to present the destruction of Krypton is the way Siegel and Shuster did:



He works a whole lot better as immigrant/messiah if you just don't put a bunch of specific poo poo in his backstory but DC kept spackling on more and more dumb bullshit.

This is how I came to understand the idea of Superman, too. Superman was a plea for responsible power, he was beating up mob bosses trying to get protection money and out on the streets fighting riot cops in his first run. The core thing about superman is that he can do anything, but he does the right thing. The idea that he was 'destined to lead the earthlings' and that he 'doesn't owe this world a drat thing' just completely miss what makes the character compelling.

Dear reddit,

My boyfriend is throwing a huge diapermad tantrum over comics books movies. Should I dump him.

E: He's an MRA but I let it slide because that's not a red flag right?

E2: I'm in the trunk of his car. I just woke up. I can hear buoys so I think he drove me out to the river. I can feel chains around my feet. Not sure if I should dump him. What do?

I did not realize this movie film titled "Suicide Squad" about a bunch of murderers and psychopaths and supervillains who where imprisoned for willfully breaking laws and/or inflicting bodily harm on others or have bad edgy tattoos and like to abuse their subordinates mentally, physically, and sexually and who spend the movie joyously hitting and/or killing other people was so important to "SANE PEOPLE."

But hey, at least it doesn't pander to womens and browns. And that's what's really important.

A few bad reviews didn’t stop Suicide Squad from shattering box office records, but at least a few people are very vocally angered by the film: Die Antwoord have accused director David Ayer of ripping off their style.

In an Instagram video posted early Wednesday morning, the South African hip-hop trio expose, in their words, “all da lil tiny details [they] nibbeld [sic].” The clip flashes through a montage of side-by-side photos of singers Ninja and Yolandi Visser alongside Jared Leto’s Joker character and Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, respectively.

“yes David Ayer u jockin our style. callin ninja up before your movie came our pretendin 2b down, so it looks OK when u bite our black & white graf style & our opening sequence,” Visser wrote.

She went on to slam Ayer for “pretendin 2b down,” saying he talked up the band on set and even invited them to the movie’s premiere, but never asked their permission to allegedly swipe their aesethetic.

“Cara [Delevingne] & Jared told us how much u were talkin abt us on set but u never asked our permision to rip us off. An when ninja texted u sayin wassup wif dat u said nothin like a scared lil bitch,” she continued. “U were jus flauntin our names pretendin to b down. u aint down an u never will b.”

In the past, Die Antwoord have been subject to similar allegations themselves. A 2012 teaser for their second studio album,Ten$ion, featured characters resembling Jane Alexander’s 1986 sculpture The Butcher Boys, and was later removed from the internet due to copyright claims. It’s since resurfaced on fan accounts.

Ayer has yet to respond to Die Antwoord’s claims. The group is set to release their fourth record, Mount Ninji and Da Nice Time Kid, Sept. 16. Watch their Instagram video below.
