DC fans, let's gather here and celebrate this massive W. For the past two weeks DC been receiving peak after peak.

Moving in the right direction for me... Gunn and Safran has been doing some serious job with talent hunting and perfect mix of projects.

We might get some news at Cinemacon but it may be mainly WBD reveals tho. What is sure is comic con gonna be massive for DC this year with the remaining projects and devt teams.

A few more directors and writers list is much needed.

Below the writers room putting together the 10 year plan alongside James Gunn.

calm down. Let the projects come out first

Writers room ko

But jokes aside, I'm more hopeful for DCU than Marvel.
At least DCU isn't doing the nonsense Multiverse saga that marvel is doing

Thought you don't care about online reviews?

when did I say that?

I've said many times that I prefer Audience reviews to Critic reviews

oyaskii:
Bad reviews where? All the "Star wars material" circa Disney+ era have banged. Personally i think it was only "The Book of Boba Fett" I haven't liked so far, and even that had decent ratings. I guess you aren't a fan of the "Star wars universe" so i would understand but the universe is so vast with interesting characters and intricate plot lines still yet unexplored.

I've been seeing tons of bad reviews online about Star Wars projects...a lot of reviewers on YouTube and even tweet about them

Even The Mandalorian, so many complaints about season 3

Sometimes I wanna jump into the Star Wars projects but the bad reviews I keep seeing makes me wonder if it's actually worth it

abduleez1:
That's called leverage bruh....
If MCU films weren't a juggernaut to begin with NO THEATRE would even be threatened at all with this overblown hearsay.


If the other genres were really that good and what audiences wants in theatres then films like Babylon, Tar, Triangle of Sadness, Banshees etc would be making several hundred millions in the BO. Not the less than 50mn we seeing.

Instead na Avatar 2 typa film with "big final battle and explosions and CGI fest" dey make billions year in year out. Why Jurassic World still dey drop billion dollars per year. Same as Fast franchise.


Rest.... Your bias is showing and you're seemingly looking like a crybaby with no real facts or understanding of the theatrical business.
Sit this one out bruh. 😂

The sooner you understand blockbusters is for the big screens, intelligent movies are for streaming, the easier all things 2020s era entertainment industry is for you.

bro is comparing blockbuster movies with low budget movies

Blockbuster non-superhero movies have been making big bucks too...so what's your point...

And since when does box office earnings equate to how good a movie is?


The reality is most Superhero fans are more than happy to consume mediocre content.
That's why they kept complaining but kept watching content like She-Hulk and some were even defending the pile of trash called Moon Knight...

Give superhero fanboys a little nostalgia and they will suck it up...
Most have not grown above their 9 years old kid phase...
That's why studios are happy to give them movies like Shazam and Black Adam and Thor Love and Thunder...movies made for children or 9 year olds in adult body

abduleez1:
Blackmail?? When the said movies brings the Cinemas their biggest payday.
E be like say na amateur I dey follow talk to. Go rest. 😭😭

yes literal blackmail

Marvel deals are kinda like this: show X movie X number of times per day, especially during daytime slots
OR
Lose the rights to show Marvel movies

It's really not news, Marvel have been known to do this

abduleez1:
You and your ilks crying CBM is dead since 2017.
We still dey wait for Una doomsday clock.

Superheroes have been dying since 2021

Not 5 years...it's close to it's last legs now...

But it can still be saved by good movies

abduleez1:
You've been saying superhero is dead for past five years now... Still, na the same argument we dey.


Okay.... You can continue crying.... 😭😭

5 years?

You and who have been active here for 5 years

abduleez1:
Tell that to audience that are willing to pay good money at the box office. 😜😛

they are family friendly kids movies...so of course kids will pay to watch it
Especially with all the crazy box office deals... especially Marvel that literally blackmail cinemas to show their movies on almost every viewing slot

abduleez1:
And where did you see me mention The Marvels. People don't take that project seriously unless Marvel fans or core comic fans.

Have you watched the 90s Batman films?

Come back and tell me it's on its dying legs in a few months time. Hope you Sabi do hypeman.

it's already on its dying legs...

But as I said earlier...good movies can save it

Unfortunately it's been a run of mostly terrible movies...

Let's see what comes up next

abduleez1:
LMFAO.... You still on with this shït? 😂😂🤣
I hope you'd be present to take your fat L when this summer arrives.

Superhero die in this age make I bend. The funny thing you CBM haters don't get is comic genre is vary wide and vast. It can be anything it wanna be. The genre hasn't even explored ¼ of its great stories and characters. It's mainly the popular ones you seeing for now. But that's already changing.

If the genre starts experiencing slowdown execs can always switch it up and bring the unknown characters with unique stories to new audiences.
The quality just have to be good. The movies y'all are using to parrot superhero fatigue are not even the best supes films out there and not even the top characters. So I find it funny when you people come out with confidence and say superhero is dieing.

What you're seeing is just other genres slowly gaining their strength back after years of CBM domination.

The only time I'd start getting worried about CBM losing steam is when GOTG 3, Flash and SpiderVerse falters (which I don't see happening).

Na Shazam, Black Adam and Antman na dem give Una level to dey mouth off anyhow.

What's even funnier you people ignore the top films that performed recently and run to the flops and make a case of "see, I told you so... They're flopping".

The Batman, Thor 4, Multiverse of Madness, Black Panther all made nothing less than $750mn last year and almost hitting a billion dollars. But y'all will come and be crying fatigue just because of minor characters hitting snags. I dey wait for year wey na no go see films like Top Gun and Avatar or Fast and Furious franchise. Na wetin dey give Una level. 😂😂 Without those films it's CBM domination bruh.

you guys have been saying this...but where are the good projects? Last good one was The Batman

The whole Multiverse nonsense isn't helping matters...it's making things worse

I agree that Superheroes can be used to tell all kinds of stories...but most of what we're getting recently is the same recycled crap...

So yes the genre is dying...and it needs competent writers to save it

Unfortunately the writers you get are more focused on making movies for kids, to sell kids toys rather than giving a rich story

The Batman is still the last good Superhero project we got

We need movies/shows with more depth like it.
Not these children movies with huge CGI battles at the end...
Marvel and DC need to drop this formula

abduleez1:
CBMs are gonna make a statement this summer.

After rewatching the Blue Beetle and GOTG3 trailer as well as SpiderVerse trailer, peak CBM is back on the menu. Flash also promises to be the icing on that cake.

Late 2022 and early 2023 was just a glitch in the matrix. 😉

the only upcoming superhero projects I'm hyped for are surprisingly from DC

Joker 2
The Flash

Even The Flash is mostly cos of nostalgia bait of Batman.

All these Blue Beetle and Secret Invasion all look mid af...I'll be surprised if Secret Invasion's story doesn't fall apart by episode 5

The Marvels?
That has to be a joke


The Superhero genre is on its dying legs...it really needs something special to save it
Projects like Shazam aren't helping matters

abduleez1:
Seems like SW fans has so many things to be happy for now... The future projects looks good.

Superhero fatigue has set in...
The genre is dying already...

The new cash cow for Disney is Star Wars?
Cos the amount of projects is crazy

Disney milking the hell out of the Star Wars franchise

They don't even mind the bad reviews, as long as fans will keep watching, they will milk it with more series

abduleez1:
It's way easier underwater sef. Little to no collateral damage. The series just makes it look as if they fast underwater. Logically they should be way slower underwater. The currents of rivers and seas is more than enough to slow them down. Not to even talk of the pressure on seabeds.

Moving in water means it's even easier to dedicate more platforms or weapons systems towards eliminating them as the navy is involved. This brings use of torpedoes and naval guns in play, something that would have remained limited to just jets, drones, missiles, rockets and artillery.

they're faster underwater...
I think they use their heat as a propellant

Modern army will destroy them no doubt

But their numbers are a problem...

Indiana Jones and the Dial of destiny

Seeing trailers like this make me happy...
We need more of these movies to wash the taste of all the Superhero crap they've been giving us recently

Season 2 has started...

I'll wait to binge it

Lmao... I'm not talking about the US only. Russia (FOAB) as well as China can very well handle them with ease.
I don't see the Japs, French or British struggling much either. Even Iran sef would score significant victory.

The huge size of the titans actually makes them a pretty easy target to take out. There penchant for always grouping together simplifies the job even more.

The rumbling is easy cake to handle especially when the top world powers are aware of its imminent destructive capabilities.

on land probably

I think they're harder to take out in the water...
They move so fast underwater...

abduleez1:
They don't even need nukes or even low yield tactical nukes. Conventional bombs that instill the fear of the Lord like MOAB and FOAB will more that do the job. Thermobaric rounds as well as incendiary will do justice too.

that's the US army...

The Rumbling will definitely cause serious destruction before it gets taken out tho...
All the countries it would have trampled...all the civilian population

Just saw a clip and opening song of "THE LEGENDARY HERO IS DEAD"

Looks like some peak perverted and comedy anime. I'm definitely gonna start watching

It reminds me of Peter Grill

Some guilty pleasure

abduleez1:
Stumbled on Hells Paradise last weekend and shït was peak fiction. Only first episode and greatness awaits.
It was one of my most anticipated anime shows of 2023 and somehow I don't know how I was unaware of its release date. Mappa really fvvked up with its marketing cos it's almost nonexistent for this year.

I mostly see numerous trailers of Mappa's upcoming anime before it even debuts. Guess they just pushed all the focus to Vinland Saga. And I've been struggling to get past the 5th episode for weeks. 🙃

They released like 4 trailers for Hell's Paradise...

Hell's Paradise is just not as popular as shows like Chainsawman. So MAPPA will spend more on hyping those shows...even Jujutsu Kaisen over Hell's Paradise...

The most important thing is the quality and MAPPA seems to have done Justice

For Vinland Saga S2...it's been peak fiction. But you dey find action, that's why you can't watch pass episode 5

Why do people expect any series about Vikings to be always focused on action?

ShaqFu:
No doubt. But why waste time in dueling a guy when you clearly aren't sure you'll win? Why take unnecessary risk? Isn't it more prudent to just end the guy and be done with it?

Even her using a gun on the guy actually caused a media circus. I believe she did all that because she damn well know she will escape being punished.

Gil Boksoon is a woman who is very manipulative, abusive and she likes being in control. Her manipulation and abuse turned the Chairman not only into a simp, but a wimp. She's also an opportunist.

she's actually shown to be proud and pretty confident in her skills. That's also why she agreed to the 1v1 with that student when she was teased.
Everyone believes she is past her prime but she doesn't wanna accept it

But she got a reality check...the samurai was using a legendary sword, she was using an axe she bought online
She saw that if the fight continued, she would get beheaded...her daughter would be an orphan

She knew she had control over the guy...na why she dey misbehave...any other person, they'd have finished her off since.

Obviously she's very manipulative. They are life or death battles. Anything is allowed.
It was obvious from the start. Her own weakness tho is her daughter. She worst nightmare is her daughter becoming like her...but she didn't know her daughter was already a pyschopath like her

I loved the sequence where she saw all possibilities sha

Brokeloser:
Random thought just occurred to me.If the rumbling were to happen in real life today,not a single Titan would have made it to US or Russian soil.Both nations have insane weapons enough to make eren soil his pants and think twice about genocide.

they will nuke it

Even without nukes...they have super fast fighter jets to bomb Eren's head

Even in the AOT world, the power of Titans is becoming a thing of the past...that's the entire reason for Marley's mission to take the founder

CoolUsername:
Well, I haven't seen season 4 yet but I'll binge watch it when it's done.

As to whether the Detective Agency gets out of this one? When have they ever not gotten out of dire situations with minimal loss on their side??

S4 is done...
It's S5 we're waiting for

They can't get out of this one this season Sha...
The Book is being used to alter reality

Too many variables in play where I am...
No way this situation ends this season

Bungou Stray Dogs is so good...

The Detective Agency are literally finished!!!

Only complaints I have with the show is very little character deaths. Many characters get into severe situations but always somehow survive...

Season 4 has been peak so far sha...

I honestly don't see how the Detective Agency get out of this...

Almost done with S4

ShaqFu:
she's a cheat, that's all there is to it.

it's realistic tbh

It was clear even in the beginning of the movie...

She wanted a fair fight against that samurai dude in melee combat...
But when she realized that she couldn't beat him, she tricked him and used a gun

ShaqFu:
Kill Boksoon.

Truly, if a woman knows you love her, and she doesn't love you back equally, she might use that love you have for her to exploit you.

she really exploited the dude

And when she knew she stood no chance fighting him, she used it against him

The way they're bashing The Mandalorian S3E6 on Twitter
Was it that bad?

Baddestguyp:
my post was limited to anime-only...I purposely left out manga spoilers and that is why I stated that according to S4E21...
What you are talking about happened at the end of the manga and is spoilers
As of S4E21, Eren had not freed Ymir...so I'm technically right...he gave her the chance to choose and she gave him the opportunity to use her powers


For the other boy coming into contact, that is somewhat wrong. The boy came into contact with the tree...we speculate the Hallucigenia/Source of all Life is in the tree...but there is no guarantee that Titans will ever return, in fact I doubt they will...

Final panel represents the cycle of war/hatred. As long as humans exist, war/hatred will always occur. History will repeat itself. And people will always strive for a way out. And something new might be born as a result.

Now the reason why it probably does not mean that Titans return is:

1. Technology has evolved to even the use of bomber jets, Titans are pretty much useless even if they did return
2. Chapter 137 fully explained what led to the formation of Titans and how it is linked to Ymir's personality - thus even if the Hallucigenia/Source of Life is in the tree, this will not lead to the formation of Titans...

For Mikasa's role, it is about two women, 2000 years apart, trapped by their love and unwilling to let go of the men who put the world at the greatest risk...
Mikasa showed Ymir how to make the right decision and free herself from this shackle, while also holding on to her love

This is because what trapped Ymir for 2000 years was her love (stockholm syndrome) for King Fritz which bound her to the world and she had been unable to let go

Attack on Titan is the Story of Mikasa,
Shown through the POV of Eren and
Narrated by Armin

@ ositadima1

I saw this beautiful post that gives an additional context to my interpretation of the final panel
And it really enlightened more on the meaning of it...

Notice the open-endedness...we don't know if the kid entered the tree or not...

It again portrays the "Children of the Forest theme" that has been constant in AOT

Goat for a reason 🐐🐐🐐

He should hold off on it for now...
Return to Barca or go to Man City for 2 more seasons...

Then collect retirement funds in Saudi
