TwoPair posted:At least Bane has the potential to be good, since he's established to be smart and have a whole backstory in addition to having the venom thing going. Doomsday is just... Doomsday. I mean I've read his stupid retconned-in history on Wikipedia but everybody knows he only ever existed to kill Superman. Doomsday's only purpose after the initial story should've been as this scary thing looming over Superman that nearly killed him. There shouldn't have been a rematch, let alone however many we've got. It should've just been a thing that sticks in his mind and sometimes threatens to return but never quite does. At least that's my view of it. If you do the rematch and Superman defeats him straight up it deflates the character almost entirely and cheapens the initial story. And he doesn't have enough going on to be used in a story that isn't a punch-fight, so just don't use him again. The only decent-ish use of Doomsday I've seen was in Booster Gold, where a weakened and disoriented Doomsday was misguidedly used by the US government as a weapon in some alternate timeline and Booster stopped it. But that only worked as essentially the ending of Booster's journey in the previous continuity. He faced the thing that nearly killed him in one punch and not only lived, but actually managed to stop it. He did the same thing Superman did, sorta. So he really is a hero. Ride into the sunset, and reset the continuity! Lurdiak fucked around with this message at 04:47 on May 15, 2018 |

They know fans will be excited to see whatever deep pull they can from DC lore. Show Metamorpho. Mention....I dunno, Rainbow Raider. People go nuts. The timeskip between S1 and S2 of YJ sucked eggs though, so seeing another one is not the best.

I was just talking to a friend the other day about villains that kept coming back even when they probably shouldn't have. Lots of 90's guys. Venom also came up.

During that period DC was insistent on having Superman be the only living Kryptonian, so whenever they wanted to introduce a character who had been Kryptonian in the old continuity they would change it so they were something else, Supergirl in that period for example was an artificial lifeform with shape changing abilities

In fact, they convinced everyone that Clark Kent strangely vanishing at the same time Superman died didn't mean he was Superman by having Matrix (that Supergirl) turn into him and hide under some rubble after Supes came back, so Supes could be seen "rescuing" Clark.

Personally I like best the excuse Clark used for disappearing for two months during the Bizarro arc in All-Star Superman where he claimed he got trapped in his bathroom and survived due to having 3 gift baskets and the complete works of Shakespeare on hand

Ok I don't really know where else to post this, but apparently Splatoon 2 has been doing a Splatfest (basically a vote-by-playing thing where you pick what option you like best and play against people who picked the other option, and the wins are tallied to decide which option won) about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon running currently, and the question has been a bracketed "which ninja turtle is the best" and the finalists are loving Raphael and Donatello. This is outrageous and unacceptable and proves we live in a disgustingly unjust world.

It's because Michaelangelo fans are too busy getting laid to participate Leonardo fans don't actually exist.

I probably won't watch it, but I probably wouldn't have watched a revival more faithful to the original cartoon. Didn't they do one a decade or so ago?

Yeah they tried a super serious one that no one watched, so it will be hilarious to see 20-30 something year olds complaining about this new cartoony one.

I'd take a lot of failed attempts at Teen Titans Go - which this doesn't look like, it looks more like Adventure Time to me - over a completely botched attempt to do a serious series that ends up having nothing of substance.

Thundercats is probably the worst of all those nerd golden calves from the early 80s. If anybody wants to tear out any interesting stuff and rework it into something decent more power to them. Would want to see that in motion but that's a fine art style.
