Pandamn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta

Hello I just powered through like 50 pages of this thread since I stopped reading when IW came out but I just wanted to say

A.I. Borgland Corp posted:

Thanos gets all the stones again and as an act of mercy tells Cap he will bring back one person for him.

Cap imagines Peggy, then goes stonefaced and says he's made his wish.

The dust rises and forms into Diamond Dallas Page who grabs Thanos and gives him the diamond cutter, which knocks him out instantly. The diamond cutter can never be predicted and always works for the three.

Only Goldberg has ever kicked out, and he had an extra minute of the ref being unconscious.

Sometimes it can fail when DDP was a heel but that's because as a heel he would telegraph it.

this post made me laugh harder than anything on these dead forums in months.

edit: lol what a lovely way to top a page

I'm amazed they had the restraint not to use Black Adam right away. Really hope this one does well, and the next one is the Shazam Family vs Black Adam and the Monster Society of Evil.

Only because the Rock isn't available though.

Really dug the Shazam trailer but jinkies, the Aquaman one looks like right old toss. Still, it is James Wan so there's every chance it'll be fine but I'm not in any hurry to see it.

I know they won't, but between this, the Batman movie not happening, and Snyder's take on the DCEU being a failed experiment, I would hit the reset button and just start fresh. Keep Wonder Woman and Aquaman, who cares, just say this is a different universe but they're still the same.

That's what the DC comics always did when things didn't go well! And it only took them 17 universe resets to get to a point where people want to read their comics again!

DC/Warner have done the impossible and defeated the Tomatometer. The next DC Movie is certified 100% Fresh, and surely all the people who thought Disney was conspiring with RT to discredit the DCU will be happy this movie is doing so well with critics.

The more recent episode of TTG had them poking fun at DC's superhero movies with Robin declaring that the only actor who could portray him in a film was Joseph Gordon Levitt and at one point they were talking about making movies and a script appeared on screen where the writing credit had "And Joss" added on to it.

The only enjoyable thing about justice league is imagining how extremely uncomfortable Ezra Miller probably made cavill and affleck on set

This actually pissed me off during the panel. It was cute that Ezra Miller said "destroy the patriarchy" but then Johnny Depp did actually appear. Showed up, gave a speech, and left. Moments later they had Amber Heard show up on stage so WB effectively had them on the same panel.

I had to hear people cheer for Joss Whedon and Johnny Depp this weekend and I was not happy about either of them.

100% my feelings. It means nothing to say these things when the actions are basically "let's just do what we've always done instead"

It's almost worse that they had him show up in full makeup because they knew otherwise they'd have to actually deal with the problem.

No of course not. It's on WB. I was more annoyed about the fact that Whedon/Depp still get employed and cheered on.

(I just wanted to correct that tweet that said Depp didn't show up)

The Enchantress wasn't intended to be a mission of theirs though. And they were lucky to have a fire god??? on their side to help them. He's dead now. So now they're fighting someone who is arguably stronger with less firepower on their side. It's just a weird decision to take it. Suicide Squad is about sending them to do poo poo Amanda Waller wants to keep secret like assassinating some foreign dignitary or sending them against like an entire army of goons that should kill them. She would not deploy them to fight Darkseid on Apokalips.

Yes, I know the movie said she built them to fight Superman, but it was dumb when she said it and it's dumb now.

He doesn't have control per se but being one of the few positive things people talked about after JL, he has a lot more power than affect change on the company.

But yeah, I get Ezra can't do much at the end of the day, I'm more upset at WB for being awful and bringing a known abused wife's tormenter to the same event as her. Not sure what I expected though.

I mean, they ended up on Apokalips back in the 80s...



Entirely by accident, if I remember right, but still. There's a precedence for that happening.

Besides, I'd assume with a sequel, they'd be adding more members to the team, and there's no reason they can't add characters that would help against Black Adam.
