The opposite of slander is flattery. The best Justice Leaguerer is Plastic Man or Booster Gold, depending on the day of the week.

sleep with the vicious posted:Plastic man's wife was raped by dr light. Maybe that will be in justice league 2 That was Elongated Man. Similar but different character. Elongated Man was a Flash supporting character whose gimmick was that he was the very first superhero without a secret identity. He was also the Flash's best friend and a talented detective in his own right, right down to getting his own supporting backup stories in Detective Comics. Unfortunately Identity Crisis ruined the character forever because comics suck. He can stretch (incredibly fast, he was originally introduced as being able to stretch his body parts 'like a rocket' and could even keep up with the Flash) but he's otherwise pretty normal. Plastic Man is effectively Cartoon Character Physics: The Character instead.

I didn't read Identity Crisis but looking at wikipedia it just seems like a massive ripoff of Squadron Supreme.

I'm trying to find that one Justice League Action short with the mobsters. EDIT: Couldn't find the one I'm looking for, but in a live action movie some of this stuff would look body-horror. wdarkk fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Nov 27, 2017 |

That is one of the things I like about DC. The names are more quaint. Its good thay there is a difference between elongated man (who's wife was brutally raped by dr light) and plastic man

Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdXFFATVQ68 In this short, a group of men go crazy and attack each other because they believe one of them or an inanimate object is a shapeshifting monster. Add some parkas and flamethrowers and what do you get?

Blue Beetle, Booster, Fire, Ice, Guy Gardner, Martian Manhunter, Flash, Elongated Man, Sue, Captain Atom, Rocket Red against Darkseid.

This movie was all right, I thought. Not nearly the patchwork I was expecting, like yeah, maybe some of the looser shots are Whedon's but it's not like Suicide Squad where scenes keep cutting off in weird places because they're trying to make it into an entirely different movie. And honestly throughout, a somewhat warmer color palette and more humorous tone feel more like legitimate creative decisions, reflecting a rebirth of hope in dark times. And honestly I'm just happy they're shooting Amy Adams so she doesn't look like a statue anymore. (This is not just the DC movies, Arrival did it too. She's not that pale, people! Stop loving around with the skin tones!) I feel the climax drags it down some- it's a little underdeveloped. And really the villain needed- something more, I get that they didn't want to bring in The Entire Fourth World Mythology in a giant expo dump but without that context Steppenwolf is lacking something. And Barry Allen as the hypernerd is definitely overplayed- dude's almost Sheldon at points. But hey, Wonder Woman remains charming, Affleck's Bruce is pretty drat good, liked everybody really. And the characters are an important part so good for that. Having said all that: Gatts posted:My secret hope is that while I want Justice League 2, we somehow instead end up with Giffen/DeMatteis and McGuires' "I Can't Believe it's not Justice League" roster.

It's kinda nuts how over the course of three full viewings in the last five years since its release I've gone from thinking of it as a bad movie with a few good scenes to maybe the best superhero movie of the 2010s yes.

In case anyone was curious, the GL has seemingly being identified Yalan Gur quote:Yalan Gur was a member of the Green Lantern Corps and noted as one of the greatest of the servants of the Guardians of the Universe around two thousand years ago. At the time, he was stationed at his home space of Space Sector 2814 where at one point he came under attack from a yellow beast that nearly killed him due to his Green Lantern Power Ring's flaw. This led to the Oans questioning if they should risk their greatest Green Lantern on such an arbitrary weakness. Ultimately, they decided to remove the Yellow Impurity from Yalan Gur's Power Ring alone in the belief that he would remain their faithful servant.

Neurolimal posted:Moving away from authenticity criticism for a second, I still find it hard to accept Bay's Transformers as "This aint your mommas' Transformers! Dark, Gritty, Murderous!" when just about every movie has had killed transformers come back, sometimes from nothing but a robot mosquito inside a severed head infecting computers. No, it hasn't. The only character who has been resurrected between films is Megatron. So, that's one film out of five. And one character out of a cast of dozens.
