Yes, those are certainly characters from the DC comics.

Is there anything special about them?

It's done in the art style of the Justice League cartoon, aka among the greatest piece of DC related media to exist. Looking back I guess I should have mentioned that.

Man I can't believe we're getting a full fishbowl-on-head look for Mysterio. He's one of my favorite spidey villians and his design is one of my favorite parts. I was really worried about the rumors that he was going to be like an Astronaut that gets mutated or whatever dumb idea that was.

Maybe Gyllenhaal 's track record of acting in a bubble is what got him the gig

Yet people who care about Peter Parker's room being consistent are dorks.

Honestly half the reason I read this thread is because it astounds me what people will come up with. Seeing the huge variety of opinions is fascinating to me. To be clear, my opinions are terrible and I am not suggesting they are correct. I am dumb as gently caress. I once argued for several pages about how Batman needs to be non-lethal in order to be a compelling character, an opinion which I still hold.

Batman can be compelling in many ways and still have an interesting arc. The revenge fantasy vigilante that upholds a childish moral code to never kill (but will happily put you in a wheelchair for life) has been done plenty of times. In my opinion that is.

I loved JL/JLU, but I wish we can move on from the Bruce Timm designs. Let's experiment with different styles and get a new generation of artists and writers to create new takes of characters who have existed for nearly a century.

Oh, how did I get on this soapbox?

It's all good. I'm not familiar enough with DC's animated movies to expect anything but that art style so I was a little confused.

I don't wanna see him snapping necks but if he's defending himself in a fight and a goon falls off a building but he's too busy still defending himself from other goons to shoot his grapple well that's justified use of force.

I mean even in TDK everyone's favorite he pushes Dent to his death to save a kid.

It's Spiderman having a completely normal Spiderman adventure with no sign that the world just ended. Also, Nick Fury is very much not disintergrated.

Do you really think Endgame is going to end with the Snappening not being undone, and Spider-Man and Fury will still be dead?

The characters in Far From Home will probably have no memory of what Thanos did. Because it�s going to be undone. Probably through time travel, possibly with someone getting the Gauntlet and saying, uh, snap, now it never happened.

In my heart, I know you're right. I'm not a fan of Timm, mainly because I think he's kind of a huge creep. My nostalgia is being preyed upon.

That, and having nearly every major female character in the DCAU from Lois Lane to Wonder Woman be a romantic interest for Batman was kinda cringe-worthy in retrospect.

In the comics, isn�t it Nebula who gets a hold of the Gauntlet and undoes all the deaths?

Not that it�s going to be the same here. Pretty sure Cap was already dead at that point. Just wondering aloud.

Only if they change the status quo and have Gordon leading the charge to bring that psychopathic murderer in by any means available, even if it means killing him.

This is kind of meaningless because Bruce Timm (if he's on this project) has been revealed to be some kind of pervy weirdo since not having to deal with network censorship restrictions

While it is part old man yells at clouds he isn't wrong. The media you consume does effect you on some way and does not exist in a vacuum. It's entirely possible to be critical of the films and still like them. Can got upset when they said Transformers were glorified toy commercials but to a fan they were something more, but it still didn't mean that they weren't right. Those cartoons were selling you toys.

That�s quite a spicy take even for my standards, but I do agree that Marvel has repeatedly undercut narrative tension at this point by dumping any consistent character growth, and now with Far From Home giving a shrug to Infinity Wars �tragic cliffhanger.�

It�s kind of like if between Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi Lucasfilm released a movie about Han Solo babysitting a bunch of Ewoks on Endor.

the MCU has fully embraced all the worst parts of the ongoing comics of the big two, that tweet being specifically about the inevitability of the status quo reset making sure things never stray from the 90s 'end of history' nonsense

I'd call it a symptom because calling it a cause would give the MCU too much credit. Like, if the dude from the tweet would be correct, the real tragedy would be that Marvel movies even have this kind of influence, no matter what they teach. Who would let themselves be influenced by loving Vision like that?
