In the animated series he didn't bring him back to life, he never actually died, but he did brainwash Superman.

Re: Anakin; you'd think seperating acting from character would be movie literacy 101. You're going to have a lot of confusing conversations if you blame an actor for being told "you're an arrogant whiny teenager and your elders complain about it instead of providing guidance except the dude who's manipulating you" and successfully portraying an annoying dickbag.

Neo Rasa posted:Some day, somewhere, somehow, someone other than Alan Moore will be able to admit that parts of The Killing Joke suck rear end. He's pretty much disowned the story afaik. quote:"I’ve never really liked my story in The Killing Joke. I think it put far too much melodramatic weight upon a character that was never designed to carry it. It was too nasty, it was too physically violent. There were some good things about it, but in terms of my writing, it’s not one of me favorite pieces. If, as I said, god forbid, I was ever writing a character like Batman again, I’d probably be setting it squarely in the kind of “smiley uncle period where Dick Sprang was drawing it, and where you had Ace the Bat-Hound and Bat-Mite, and the zebra Batman—when it was sillier. Because then, it was brimming with imagination and playful ideas. I don’t think that the world needs that many brooding psychopathic avengers. I don’t know that we need any. It was a disappointment to me, how Watchmen was absorbed into the mainstream. It had originally been meant as an indication of what people could do that was new. I’d originally thought that with works like Watchmen and Marvelman, I’d be able to say, “Look, this is what you can do with these stale old concepts. You can turn them on their heads. You can really wake them up. Don’t be so limited in your thinking. Use your imagination.” And, I was naively hoping that there’d be a rush of fresh and original work by people coming up with their own. But, as I said, it was meant to be something that would liberate comics. Instead, it became this massive stumbling block that comics can’t even really seem to get around to this day. They’ve lost a lot of their original innocence, and they can’t get that back. And, they’re stuck, it seems, in this kind of depressive ghetto of grimness and psychosis. I’m not too proud of being the author of that regrettable trend". quote:That's probably the work of mine that I'm least fond of because there's a lot of nasty things that happen in that. I mean, the profundity in 'The Killing Joke' is that actually Batman and the Joker are pretty similar, but like, they're not real. It does us, an audience, no good to have it pointed out that Batman and the Joker are a bit similar because they're both preposterous characters, so yeah...Brian Bolland did a fantastic job of the artwork, but as for my writing, no, that's not one of my finest hours." Edit maybe i should read the posts I'm quoting...

They're probably going to go with the solar coma and either have Steppenwolf get a hold of the body or else have him eventually wake up healed but all but powerless until he gets some of that delicious Sunny D. Probably the former, and then he's knocked out of the mind control by Lois, who Batman had to save from Steppenwolf thanks to a tip from time traveling Flash.

It's pretty presumptuous to think that Superman is not dead, and I now think less of all of you for assuming he's alive. I just rewatched the end of the movie again on YouTube and there's a whole bunch of reasons the dirt moved that don't involve something that's literally impossible like resurrection.
Edit: Superman being alive is pretty pitiful wish fulfillment. "My Superman is perfect and can't die!" OK, yeah, and your dad is the strongest and smartest and most handsomest dad in the neighborhood too I bet!!!

Why would they take all the effort of killing such a powerful hero as Superman if they would bring him back shortly afterwards? It makes no sense, I tells you, it's unheard of!

Looking back on it the writers really had a lot of restraint when they did that original Death of Superman story. He stayed dead for like an entire real life year. Of course for most of that year they were teasing that he had returned but still.

dont even fink about it posted:The only people croaking about "my childhood" at this point are the people who are making this up whole-cloth as the reason people don't like the prequels. I suppose if you are a deranged wiki editor you don't recognize the flaws in the original Star Wars, but that's not anyone here and not even most people who enjoy Star Wars. I brought up childhoods in response to the shock here that Tom Holland might like the prequel films and would have trouble relating to passionate defensiveness of the originals. Outside that nostalgic blanket, the originals aren't much different from the prequels, earnest fairytale pastiche of the same source materials.

Especially considering the post he was responding to, where you were as reasonable as can be about understanding people who do and don't consider the originals a "shared life experience". I think he might have severe frontal lobe damage.

You tend to notice that people have no idea why or are at least unable to articulate why they like something, which is why their strongest reactions are reserved for stuff they don't like.

Last CBM I saw was Dawn of Justice. Anything come out since then that's worth seeing? I still have my Watchmen BluRays... I should watch that. Should also finish the comic too I imagine. I made it up to Rorschach's past. I dunno why I stopped there since it was the first time I started to like the rear end in a top hat.

There's also the point that these people are usually afraid that their classic kids movie won't be able too withstand scrutiny, or simply that they won't enjoy it as much. When you have no actual faith, the best substitute is to police others. If you are unable to actually praise Star Wars, pressure those who voice uncertainty until they fall into line. That's why you see consistent recourse to populist 'dislike button' aggregation, and/or fervent scrying through Hollywood accounts, to show that the enemy is on the wrong side of history. Nobody liked Dawn Of Justice; it only made a billion dollars. Imagine if people judged books mainly in terms of copies sold.

Logan is a good movie, because it manages to do dark and gritty correctly (which is to say, it's not literally dark and gritty, it's figuratively dark and gritty) where so many others fail. Also hearing Patrick Stewart cuss like a motherfucker is hilarious.

The last half of the fast and furious movie series does what the MCU tries to do in their group movies, but better in every way aside from Spider-Man or Black Panther. Civil War is just an empty hollow movie with nothing to say and nothing to show for it, it's eye candy in the worst way. I liked Black Panther, though, and Spider-Man was also cool.
