Just now I saw John Cena jumping out of an air cargo transport with a cow that kept saying "Boooooost" and it seemed totally in character for him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soPl4IAhjbI Like it could be hijinks in between Peacemaker seasons.. cheating on Eagly with.. Cowly?!!

Doltos posted:Well that's the issue. She needed a whole subplot for her character to have any depth. I get it that you need to do it sometimes but if the subplot doesn't help the main plot or matter at all to it why is it there in the first place for the first season? Save that for later seasons when you want to go below surface level. Having relationships that affect your decisions isn’t a “subplot” that needs resolution.

I love Adebayo doing the "new kid on the first day of school introducing herself" bit, especially as she mentions halfway through that she's realized this was a stupid thing to do but she's started it now and can't stop herself

I love that Auggie can make jetpacks and energy gauntlets that can burn through steel, but he'd rather make a helmet that launches his son head-first at stuff because gently caress him. It's just so on-brand.

During the final battle with his son, Auggie was talking some crazy poo poo about Moloch and how he was going to sacrifice Chris to something before Vig leapt in. Now, he's a ghost.

Yeah I don't think he was actually manufacturing the stuff or even built his own folding space and i don't think we were really supposed to think much about it this season.

I think he is a solid hardware guy who can assemble the parts and wire them together, but the finer parts and tech are something acquired elsewhere.

I'd venture to say that powered armor and n-th dimensional weapon storage are the rocket launchers and anti-material rifles in underground bunkers of racist militias in the DCEU. They probably finance it with drug money too, just to be so on-the-nose it has to be fascist.

He could have just as easily been a middle manager at S.T.A.R. labs/a basic engineering guy whose nazi gang stole a bunch of poo poo and knew just enough to repurpose bits of tech he swiped into more portable forms Edit: I mean, there's superscience everywhere, it's comic book land. Even someone with middling tech skill in that kinda environment would be able to work things we'd consider miracles.

During the final battle with his son, Auggie was talking some crazy poo poo about Moloch and how he was going to sacrifice Chris to something before Vig leapt in. Now, he's a ghost. I'm pretty sure he was just saying he would "give [Chris's] life to God" which seems to fit with his Christian fundamentalism and the idea God was "testing him like Abraham". I don't think it was intended to reference demonic sacrifice or anything. Personally I rather like the idea of Auggie inventing all that stuff. None of it is too crazy by D/C universe standards, I mean his best efforts (the White Dragon suit) gets taken out by one guy jumping him with a knife. So it's hardly Iron Man tech. I was also waiting for the joke that the x-ray vision helmet dramatically increases the cancer risk of anyone you look at. chitoryu12 posted:
The Hamburgler stuff was hilarious and fit Locke's character perfectly. Just so confident he's untouchable he doesn't give one poo poo about his story.

During the final battle with his son, Auggie was talking some crazy poo poo about Moloch and how he was going to sacrifice Chris to something before Vig leapt in. Now, he's a ghost. To me, he said he was going to give Chris's soul to God before Vig literally cut him off. I already posted earlier that in the original comics, his dad's ghost (also a Nazi, but the OG WWII kind) continually haunts him. Auggie might be more like a lazy polymath who's decided to coast through life or more like an ex-supervillain since the cops seem to be familiar with him and he's familiar with due process to tell them to gently caress off without a warrant. That laziness led him to not give a poo poo about gaps in the armor, probably because he figures with his boot-jets, not-repulsors, and gang of thugs that surround him no one is ever going to get close enough to rip his threads. He was smart enough to design it so it could withstand a frontal grenade explosion but not smart enough to figure on someone as psychotic as Vigilante jumping on his back and slashing his cables. I actually just see it as another of Gunn's deliberate page flips on the character mythos, as in the original comic it's Chris himself who is a snooty smartypants that is continually inventing technologies to benefit mankind that he puts in different helmets. BTW I'm sure even with his dad 'dead,' they can either have him go back to the road and retrieve that gym bag full of helmets, or Economos arranges a federal transfer of the helmets in the Evergreen police lockup. Or, Auggie might have had secret hideouts / caches for his technology, he's definitely smart enough to not hide all of his eggs in one basket (his house)

Scrubs who somehow create mindblowing, impossible physics devices is as common as capes in superhero books. Shocker was a high-school dropout who was nonetheless a technical genius who designed his shockwave gauntlets. The Top is a guy who taught himself how to spin really fast and in so doing supercharged his own brain in order to allow him to make techno top weapons. Sauron, famously, has invented genetic manipulation tech that is so advanced he could cure cancer. But he doesn't want to cure cancer...

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Would Waller have her own daughter killed? I feel like she would. Or at least kidnapped and thrown into a blacksite for a few years if not the rest of her life. Not Waller when she's written well. Part of the thing that makes her so interesting is that she's not a heartless monster, she's a monster because she has people she cares about. She does the poo poo she does because, in her mind, it makes the world safer for them.

To put it in a DC context, White Dragon is about on the level of the Flash's Rogues. Some of them came up with their own tech, like Captain Boomerang. (It is tempting to let people think I think Digger invented the boomerang, so do that if you want.)

James Gunn might be the director who gets comic books the most. Like while everything else feels like you’re watching shows or movies that feature intellectual property from comic books, while his stuff feels really feels like they are the spirit of comic books come to life.

Yeah, comic books (not always, but very often) can be like professional wrestling. Very dumb, but extremely good and entertaining at the same time (and yes, problematic when it comes to the WWE, but you know what I mean). So what I’m saying is, John Cena is perfect casting.

I love this post because I’ve been drawing parallels between superhero media and professional wrestling for years. I thought I was the only one. Everyone has their catchphrases and their shiny outfits. They do promos/monologues at each other. There’s stupid drama for the sake of stupid drama. (Almost) No one gets permanently hurt. Someone inevitably cheats somehow. Wolverine has done fifty heel-face turns this year alone. It’s all fake as hell.
