This reminds me of that opening scene in BvS, where it's all fun that Superman is saving Lois Lane, but the stuff actually going on around them is insanely depressing (terrorist executing guys, sexual slavery ring)
Gavin Powell
I got fucking LIT last night, jesus. I only wanted one tequila + juice. It's really true that the more you drink the harder it is to tell how much you're drinking.
Daniel Brown
I think this is the only Hades redesign I've ever loved.
Thomas Thompson
I mean, when you start off with tequila...
Can I ask your opinion on BvS if you've not answered it already/it's not gonna shit up or trigger the thread?
Oliver Smith
Dude, I watched BvS for the first time a week ago (extended version), and reading about the differences between the versions leaves me at a total loss. It's a complete failure of Snyder editing that much crucial stuff out, and WB for letting him film that much
Elijah Cox
Ehhhh I'd rather not get too into movies since they're a shitposting magnet.
There are things it did that I thought were great and some that weren't great. I really appreciate what they were trying to do by making something a bit more than just popcorn fare, something like The Dark Knight was, but it just didn't really make it there.
The thing that killed it was all the Justice League "setup" stuff shoved in. Wonder Woman was awful and exactly what I don't want Wondie to be but Gadot did fine with what she had.
I can't say much as to its quality as a movie because I'm not that smart, but as a comic fan, it's enjoyable but not great.
Parker Lewis
At the end of the day I don't know if I can even watch it ever again just because the shitposting has driven me so insane.

This run makes me really interested in Cassie. She has the potential to replace Vanessa as my daughterfu.
Angel Nelson
Yeah, the other day my dad and I were rewatching the Dark Knight Trilogy, and I couldn't help but snicker a bit when we reached the opening scene of TDKR. Fucking memes.
Sebastian Stewart
I will admit I never get tired of Baneposting.
What I was gonna say. The plane scene is basically just a comedy now.

Daniel Morgan
It would be Tim silly!
Nightwing was running a secret Outsiders I think at this time, or it could have been the end of that Titans series (where Donna died)
Jayden Peterson
Speaking of minority replacements no one fucking remembers...
Christopher Torres
This stuff was covered back in one of the Perez threads, if y'all remember!
His ghost still haunts these servers
Tim's not a hot slut like Dick, but good point about him being on Outsiders at the time.
Jordan Hall
Desu I find a lot of the god designs in WW underwhelming but I like seeing different takes.
William Lewis
Ironically she could have been kind of cool, albeit really Linkin Park edgy, if she had more than like one short arc in JSA and barely any other development.
Zachary Martinez
I legitimately don't know. Who is replacing who at this time?
Angel Thompson
I mean her thing was literally crying blood and talking about how numb she is while her Devil May Cry guns kill everyone
I was playing Subnautica and fell into the Void (unfinished area with no floor) in my Prawn suit, and all I could do was sit there and fall eternally waiting for the pressure to very slowly kill me.
It was hilarious just watching myself plummet endlessly.
Sebastian Hughes
OK so this issue I'm auto-dumping while I grab some pizza, as I am wont to do.
Ian Garcia
>She used to study law but when she became a lawyer she lost a case in which the defendant was clearly guilty. Jill obtains a pair of Colt pistols originally owned by the first Crimson Avenger (Lee Travis) and uses them to exact vengeance upon the criminal. These guns are cursed such that, if the possessor uses them out of revenge, he or she will be cursed to track and kill those who have taken innocent life. As part of the curse, an ever-bleeding bullet hole appears on her chest. kek
shit, Kate Spencer did that without needing to be cursed.
I love the sound of the Nexus-ish visions of death and inherited skills of the victim though. I should look up the comics she's in.

And to think Connor would be dead just a few months later.
Speaking of the Underworld in general, I have forgotten about how Gaiman reconciled having the Underworld (for Orpheus) and Hell existing at the same time

Eh, you know me, go hard or go home.
Like seriously, you expect me to make this big, heartfelt speech by only to not follow through? Fuck that. I've storytimed Crash Bandicoot Retold twice, I can keep a pledge to be less of an ass.

Those swords are really shiny. Hades must have the skeletons polishing them all day.

If only Kipling had accepted mr. Stone's offer, his son might have lived.

Fucking alt-righters.
Anthony Morris
Sorry for the huge delay.
I did too, actually. When someone asks nicely and is legitimately enthusiastic it's hard not to. Hell and the Underworld are aspects of the metaconcept "the Pit". You go to whichever one you believe in when you die. IIRC though Gaiman's Lucifer was like Dream in that he embodies the concept itself, so while Hades and Satan rule their own versions of the Pit, Lucifer rules both of them.
Like how Nekron is a ruler of death, but Death of the Endless is the literal concept of death, so is above Nekron.

The Gaiman one or the new one? Well, neither actually, though I have it on my shelf.
To be perfectly honest, I still haven't read the last two trades of Sandman, which I've had on my shelf for years. The last time I read the series I was probably not even old enough to drink so it's probably high time I re-read.

>I did too, actually. When someone asks nicely and is legitimately enthusiastic it's hard not to. Pretty easy to tell them to fuck off, actually, since the current state of the board indicates that nobody actually reads the comics that are rec'd to them.
We can only hope that I'm wrong and that person is making themselves less of a filthy casual and reading the stuff that was pitched to them instead of just using the titles to rattle off to their non-nerd friends who think that shit is impressive cause nerd-chic is a thing now.
Eli Rodriguez
And that was years before I had started getting into DC, so I didn't know that Dr. Destiny was a JLA villain, or the allusions to the JSA Sandman, or any of the stuff about Hector Hall and Lyta, or any of the references to old DC horror. I would definitely appreciate it much more now.
Lincoln James

Owen Gonzalez
Carey's late 1990s to 2006 run. I would heavily recommend it, but also finish off Sandman first. Reading it before finishing Sandman wouldn't necessarily spoil Sandman, but you will probably notice some details about the ending of that if you pay close attention
Anthony Kelly
I was gonna say it here, but They at least go to the same tailor.
Anthony Morris
See, in high school was when I went through that "I'm much too mature for superheroes, I only read graphic novels now!" phase. I bought the entirety of Sandman, Lucifer, Watchmen, V for Vendetta, all those ones people rattle off when they say "Shazam! Ka-pow! Comics aren't just for kids anymore!"
But then never actually finished Sandman, and thus never moved onto Lucifer.

Hunter Butler
I mean from the amount of JSA I've read I think I know what happens at the end by now I think Morpheus dies or something and Lyta's babby becomes the new Dream?
