wow “race swap” done right. Pretty awesome series

NLK3 4 points 2 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

I agree. Tokenism/hand-me-down casting really annoy me as well rather than just making new characters. If the actor resembles what they may be, then I can accept it (example: Dean Cain, who is part Chinese, played Superman in Louis & Clark well without looking too different from him). Apparently, it wasn’t even Lex Luthor at all, but John Henry Irons, aka Steel.

HUH?

It came off as though Lex Luthor was being tokenized as a black man rather than just keeping him as how he’s always been. Apparently, it’s Steel, an originally created black superhero. I think I missed which name is real and which isn’t, but they didn’t just do the “tokenism checkbox” this time.

I like the show, knowing what it was going to be seeing that he has teen kids and all. The issue most people have in general are angsty teens, and I think it usually comes from just seeing them be angsty without seeing where it comes from before see all the emo shit. Production is definitely better than the other CW shows so far. And as for cowboy_fan2k’s point, I agree about tokenizing Lex Luthor, though I think Coby Bell would make more sense if they “had to.” I don’t really think it is Lex Luthor, since he’s just called Luthor so far. Supergirl’s Lex may still be canon. Too many adaptations do it. I mean, they race swapped Jade in Mortal Kombat Annihilation, but then did it backwards with Mileena in the new one. Neither are even white in the source material, which is cringey anyway. If I want a black Superman, I’d just wish for an Icon movie.

@SethMythrax Funny, seems like the two authors wrote stories that each had two different actresses, both in each author’s first one.

Another thing, live action TV shows are gonna have lower budgets, so they add the drama to lower how many places they gotta visit and the special effects are on screen all the time. Remember that one Supergirl scene? Looks better in this show for reasons I’m assuming to be true.

They DID allow fatalities… They just took away the bloody brutal ones.

Those were Impostalities, imo. Now, they should be able to do a Rated-M version. Hell, maybe somebody modded the game on PC or something. Just take away the 3D movement, which was sloppy as hell.

go watch that if you havnt seen it!

NLK3 3 points 4 years ago.

Aside from having only one guy, I don’t see it as excessively “woke.” Nothing was “pro women” or “anti-male” aside from how Amazons of Greek mythology were always anti-male, none of which came from Diana.

The New Mutants (2020)

Version 24 Upstream is a pretty good copy.

My only issue was Anya Taylor-Joy’s lines coming off as pretentious/cringey/cheesy. I mean, the Wizard of Oz “Lions, tigers, bears, oh my” was a straight ass pull out of nowhere. Other than that, the movie is fine. Not a lot happening until near the end after about an hour, which is unfortunate.

Roxy was nitpicking reasons to hate men. Yes, men in patriarchal societies were often horrible people, but things have changed since feminism, even to the point that there are far stronger societal privileges for women than men. You can nitpick any negative thing about anybody, it doesn’t mean that’s all they are. People know that businesses were corrupt, no matter what sex/gender ran them. People are people, and we can all be horrible.

doow90 2 points 3 years ago.

Great second episode!! So far, it has been a smooth blend of Man of Steel and Smallville. I have to add that the effects are really good, better than Supergirl for sure. I think Jonathan Kent is a really likeable character and I look forward to him getting powers. So far my only complaint is the writing for Jordan Kent whose character goes up and down more than a yoyo. One minute you think he is developing and then its straight back to angsty teen. A minor complaint on a so far great show. 4.5/5

NLK3 2 points 3 years ago.

I don’t know if Jordan Kent is canon, but I know Jonathan is. Maybe why he’s the older brother. It’s the second episode, so development for Jordan may have to take some time. Hopefully not too long… I’ve an anime called Wanna Be the Strongest in the World about a female pop idol becoming a pro-wrestler. Now THAT is SLOW progression. Watched several episodes, canonically lost over 100 matches. Couldn’t watch it anymore, knowing how dumb that was.

John Wick (2014)
NLK3 2 points 3 years ago.

The authenticity of the action is part of what makes this fun. It’s not all super-martial-artist-ish like other action films like The Transporter, but aims to be quite a bit more realistic.

Also, this movie shows how important it can be to understand another’s perspective. To Theon Greyjoy (lol), it was just a fucking dog. To Neo (lol), it was a link to his dead wife. When people refuse to try understanding other perspectives, they risk unknown consequences.

Right!!! you couldn’t have said it any better…

NLK3 2 points 2 years ago.

“Annoying” is bare minimum criticism. Even this comment is annoying. It’s the writing with her trying to make Clark and her family a “normal family” while “knowing” Superman has a job to do. She wants to pull her own weight and wear the pants in the house. Of course Superman isn’t gonna act all “toxic masculinity” on his wife. That would just make him another version of “evil Superman,” which while I like sometimes, is way overdone, even in other projects that are satires of him (The Boys, Invincible, Brightburn, etc.).

My issue is Natalie being an emotional brat. High school, sure, but damn. She couldn’t last more than a single first class and get it in her head this is technically a new “country” she’s living in where everybody just don’t know they have missing relatives on the other side of the world. Maybe I’m harsh on her, but damn.

This is why I don’t care about bible thumpers. Looking at her daughter as a burden, trying to shame her out of what she needs to do, even for her benefit. Condemns the money she’s given, but takes it anyway, knowing she’s doing it to her daughter on purpose. I’m not down with most religious systems anyway.

There is something about the way Brec wears crop tops that seem, um… “intentional.” Same with the new Green Lantern girl. Oh, and screw Jakeem’s sister Jenny.

Am I the only 32 year old black straight atheist man who cried like a bitch? Yeah, 32. Never been in a relationship. Even had to pay to lose my virginity, then 20 others after within 3 years. To find the love of your life… 3.5 centuries too late. To think that not everybody really find the one only due to generational gaps.

On top of that, this episode showed to me something related to an Aba & Preach video based on The Talk episode where Rihanna says if you cry because your ex is dead, you’re single. It’s the exes that help make you the person your are, for better or for worse. If not for that asshole who treated her like shit or that gentleman who helped her realize her level of asshole, your lady may not be a stronger/better woman. Same with the opposite of her being worse, depending on how she takes it. Same with the opposite sex or opposite sexuality.

Dope movie. Honestly came for Amy Johnston before knowing Michael J White was in the movie. Scott Adkins is dope. Actually imagined them mentioned as Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, and Jax for a personal Mortal Kombat fan casting.

P.S. death metal \m/

So far, good pacing. About as good as Stargirl was in season one, not a villain-of-the-week formula, if not quite yet. Nice to see original black characters that don’t have to be identity swapped or taking mantles from other superheroes.

I, a black straight atheist male, enjoyed the idea of the social aspects of being attracted to an inorganic sentient being with only a sense of logic within its chassis.

Monster Hunter (2020)
Kid Kryptonite 8 points 3 years ago.

If you’re a fan of the Monster Hunter game this will be a hugely disappointing film adaptation. Kinda feel bad they typecast Milla Jovovich in these roles and give her a bad story to work with. They should’ve focused on mainly the Monster Hunter world because adding the real world element killed this. The action was fine and some of the CGI was off but this is a bad cam quality to truly judge. Just another typical sad video game movie for me.

Look up the director and you’d know his wife will be the main character, hence the Resident Evil movies.

Woah! Don’t go Zack Snyder on us and change established characters with any challenging ideas…

Seriously though, one story said that his glasses alters how his face looks to other people. Only one story I heard of, though.

“Gentrification is not fixing the nation; it’s mixing the pavement with insensitive payments.” By keeping trying-to-be-former criminals from getting back on track, they are more likely to continue down the path of having to keep doing what they want to stop doing.

That said, at 25:37, I disagree that facts and figures aren’t important, since personal experiences can vary. Both very much are, but pandering to emotion too much can backfire, as it ignores what maybe be more or less important for the situation. Just because I’m a metalhead who don’t drink alcohol (first was taste, second was diabetes) doesn’t mean all metalheads don’t drink alcohol.

Not so much a horror, but something else with a bit of horror elements near the end. Very interesting story. Seemed to show signs between faith and delusion, especially at the end.

Naomi (2022) S1 E3
NLK3 1 points 2 years ago.

I mean… while I don’t like that Annabelle just believed her without proof (reveal scenes are cool, and this one ignored it), it’s a little on the nose now why she’s a fan of Superman. Not so hidden, since it was obvious, but hoped she was just a character with powers.

This is why I hate bigotry logic. “Everybody of a demographic that messed with me, all 0.0000000001% of them, were bad, so they all must suffer and convince others who did have positive experiences with them they are wrong.” It’s extremely self centered.

That said, regardless of the controversy, I don’t know how accurate to the source it is, but it’s not as socially biased as people made it out to be. I’d hope for a second season.

I just can’t get behind Maise Richardson-Sellers having two character roles in one show, Vixen and Charli. Makes Charli feel too much like a side character, especially as a shape shifter who just prefers to look like another character.

NLK3 1 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Can somebody explain what is actually wrong with the show? I actually really like it, and I’ve never been as much a fan of Superman. Smallville, though good, was still super cheesy compared to this. Villain-of-the-week stories get boring after while, but this maintained a steady and focused plot with good acting and effects (especially compared to Supergirl). Jordan, starting off insufferable, started growing as a character more. John had to grow on me with the whole both-worlds-have-the-same-Superman-in-spite-of-everything-else-being-different ignorance, but it made sense from his POV when dealing with a threat as powerful as Superman. Besides, this is a more original story never explored in live-action and isn’t just villain-of-the-week Gareus ex Stuchina Superman formula. What am I missing?

25:18 Discipline. The answer is sanity and discipline. The Joker lacked any sanity or discipline to not destroy lives for his “fun.”

The Alice/Mary thing is very similar to a step-sibling (non-porno) version of Harley and Ivy. Also, the look at the end was too on-the-nose, lacking that individuality in place of just being a copy. I still think Alice wasn’t needed for this season, kept on only for popularity than story reasons.

I really enjoyed all three shows. While I think it went from best to worst, the worst is still high quality content. Wandavision had us by the balls with what was going on, while Falcon & The Winter Soldier was a thrill ride with a bit of drama around the meaning of being Captain America. Loki was more an adventure about discovering the truth of who or what was behind the fate of all people’s histories.

This seems like a dope show. It’s not just about Superman, but his family life, another area television and movies haven’t quite explored. Man of Steel did his origin well (I will defend that movie), but this is showing off his other side. Also, I can’t hate that Doomslayer armor.

P.S. guys, don’t make the first move. Just… just don’t. Ask her out, but she has to initiate. A little heads up.

So, a plant that’s between feminist and misandrist, arguably one and the same nowadays, though the organization has male soldiers. They are going hard on the lesbian (female & gay, specifically either/or) empowerment with this show. The 2nd Batwoman just happens to be another lesbian (not even a bisexual, asexual, or trans, but another lesbian), almost no interesting male characters that are seen positively (villain/traitor/creep, broken up with, or challenged stances that is likely overridden like Jacob and Lucas).
