Nigs will riot if diversity is not enforced
Only one character left to be cast.
>TER-EL I Seg-El's estranged father. He has denounced his own father Val-El for his fringe experiments, and is disappointed to see his son Seg-El heading down the same destructive path.
why?
Why not?
Why do people make these prequels? I can never enjoy them because I already know it's going to be an unhappy ending for everyone. Seriously, if Seg El and co are all going to do and all of their efforts will be for nothing in a few years, then what's the point of all of this?
It's the same thing with Gotham. We already know Gordan will never catch the person who killed Wayne's parents and that he'll be miserable and jaded until batman shows up so what's the point of watching him suffer until then?
Shows like this are trash. They should just make a new original series.
>WE WUZ GENOCIDAL KRYPTONIAN SUPREMACISTS
At least Gotham had lots of well known villains and side characters, so in theory that show made sense, even though they failed to execute it well. This on the other hand has absolutely no reason to exist. No one knows any of these characters and if they wanted to make a show about sc-fi politics in space, they could have just created a new IP.
WE
can capeshit please die already
it's like adults are regressing into children.
WUZ
>they cancelled Titans/Blackbirds
>they're still going with this show
>Seg-El
> Seig Neil
White supremacists confirmed. That is why HE is ostracized and shamed and the cast is diverse.
SPACE KANGZ
All of this work just so they can work in a "Bow before me" line.
sounds like one of those cheesy 70's spinoff comics. love it.
Jesus, its such formulaic young adult nonsense. Just reading the character list has bored the piss out of me.
I am proud of my rich AfroZod roots and Trump must be stopped.
except gotham a shit and your a shit for defending it in the slightest
Isn't this DCEU
Unclear.
What is the purpose of shows like this?
There is no way people would care if this didn't have tenuous ties to a famous comic book franchise.
I really hope this doesn't get made. If it does, fine - I know that it's going to be stupid and die after 4 episodes.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING
