The only thing wrong with the DC Universe is Zack Snyder. Everything that has been successful in that Universe has not been directed by Zack Snyder. Can that man, reboot the thing, and it will be huge again.


We don't need to reboot everything. Just keep everything separate. I don't want to need to watch 90 dc movies because they're all super intertwined and all relate to each other.

If Superman shows up in the Aquaman movie, I want supes to leave his issues at home and just help Aquaman out.

Really, WB could just learn from their past mistakes... make Flashpoint... get a competent director and handwave BvS and JL and all would be forgiven. There's really zero need to recast. Get a real script so Ben can stop crying and drinking himself to sleep every night :( I feel for the guy. No matter how bad JL is perceived to be, you just know the original scripts were way worse and he had to fight to just get what we saw.


I don't think we even need Flashpoint. Just don't try to make a "yo all these movies are intertwined isn't this cool AF?", and make independent movies. There's a reason the best movies in the franchise were Wonder Woman and Aquaman, both movies which basically ignored the rest of the DCEU. Because that's how the DC comics always worked. every comic was more or less independent, and left each other alone. If Supes needed help then Batman would come for a hand, but Bats left his issues at home. I only want everyone to come together with the biggest baddies for a Justice League-type events. Those should be relatively independent also IMO.

I'd even enjoy Justice League movies more. But I don't really want to watch 15 movies in the leadup to expect to follow anything. I'm willing to watch JL1 for JL2, but I don't want to watch a Flash movie, and Wonder Woman movie, and 3 Batman movies.

My problem is that the The Atlanteans are so old that the kingdom split up when the Sahara was still underwater. That was 7 million years ago. Which means the Atlanteans have been ****ing around doing jack-all for 7x the entire known history of anything even close to related to humans on land, already had unlimited energy, and just... did nothing with it.

That's kinda just how it is. The Kryptonians, Amazons, Lanterns, all around since prehistory yet never did anything. It's a fundamental problem with the setting and there's not really anything to explain it satisfyingly. Same deal with things like Wakanda. You're just going to have to accept "They didn't want to mingle with inferior people" as the explanation.


I get the Kryptonians and Lanterns don't bother, they are on different ends of the galaxy. I guess if we go comics route the Lanterns should be more present on Earth since Earth is like, the center of the DC universe and the Amazons at least have a "we've segregated ourselves from the humans because we tried it and they're the worst".

But the Atlantian idea is "we've had a utopia since even monkeys weren't developed yet" but they stay there just cause and politely watch the humans wreck their ecosystem.

I'm maybe overthinking it a little bit, but there shouldn't have been that dumb comment about how atlantians first setteld in the Sahara.

So... All of these headlines are very clearly biased, and I can't expect this guy really did his research well. But I watched the whole 10 minute crap so you don't need to.

Viola Desmond isn't going to remain on the 10$ bill forever, IIRC this is a limited release just cause (and even if it isn't, who cares?). John A McDonald was a drunken racist, even by 1700s standards, so like, yeah cut back on the stuff a little bit. IIRC No Statues are being taken down.

Toonies normally have a polar bear on it. It is also going to just be a limited release. because its the 50th anniversary for the stoppage of discriminating against gay people. The bear will come back, no need to worry.

Trudeau has not made Canada a laughing stock. You think anyone cares that much about Canada?

Yep, Canada's housing bubble is going to be pretty nasty. Video seems to be blaming chinese people for this, when its really entitled boomers refusing to move because they happened to have a valuable house now (well a little bit of both).

The CDN Dollar is always less than the US Dollar. And the dollar is currently tanking because Trump decided to decalre a trade war on us for literally no reason.

Quebec secularism hasn't been a thing in like 45 years.

People voted for Trudeau because the conservative candidate (Stephen Harper) had spent the previous decade screwing over Canada in basically every way imaginable.

Yeah Trudeau apologizes for a lot of crap that happened years ago. He does a lot of dumb PR crap. who cares?

This takes a huge homophobic rant like 3/4 through, someone is very upset that Trudeau is pretending to care about gay people. Apparently we can't be like "hey life is better now, ain't it sweet?"

He wants beastiality on the 20$ bill. Like, c'mon I can't believe people fall for this crap.

Canada has always been isolated. Our entire culture is "we're basically the States, but not quite", and since Trudeau started not putting up with Trump's crap, there's a fair bit of support for Canada, so we're not more isolated then we've ever been, we're the least.

The most isolated we've ever been is ridiculous, Our first few hundred years our country was 6 people and a bear.

If you aren't a big marvel fan, an "on its own" movie like Black Panther can probably be much more enjoyable.

After several years of being heavily pushed, despite popular pushback, the thing that finally got Roman over was cancer.
That's the problem. WWE is stubbornly declaring what the audience will like, and doesn't seem to notice (beyond, you know, editing in canned heat) when the audience disagrees.

I think the only reason New Day gets to screw around and have fun is because Vince and Trips are too distracted by desperately pushing the idiot musclehead face of the day.


The problem was like Roman was awesome. To get him over all WWE had to do was step off the gas a little bit. Have someone else main event WM one year. A slight character change to show they were listening to the fans would have got him over, but WWE wouldn't do it.

And New Day is basically lol random XD nowadays so it isn't like they are the best of characters

WWE puts the exact bare minimum they need to in order to pretend they care about the womens division.

They care only barely more than they did a decade ago, and it still 99% revolves around whatever blonde they happen to care about at the moment. Ronda Rousey is there now, so its got more eyes on it, and WWE needs to pretend they put the slightest bit of effort into it.

In short, WWE has moved from 1% effort in their womens division to 5% effort in their womens division. Its only about 10% effort for the best in the mens division, so take it for what its worth.

I like that joke about how black widow "gets around" or whatever. It's true that she has chemistry with nearly all the guys. First it was flirting with Iron Man, then that kiss with Captain America, obviously there's Bruce, and she already has a close relationship with Hawkeye. And you could tell that Black Panther was into her in Civil War, he was totally checking her out and she knew it, flirting with him and leading him on. I like that about her character, fits the whole black widow thing.


Don't forget her playing Loki. Being a flirt is basically her super power.

I hope we see her in captain marvel in some way


It'd be cool if she was like "evil KGB Black Swan or whatever" Black Widow for a bit. Then we Captain Marvel shows up in the next avengers she'll recognize Black Widow and not trust her.

If you want to point out a problem, its that it doesn't work out all that well in the end. The moral is "don't bully someone who is different because there might be a unique circumstance years from now where that kids specific deformity will save the day". The only reason any of the other reindeer even feel bad about bullying rudolph is that he turned out to have an additional use. They certainly didn't care when Rudopph ran away

I thought this was like, the 10th grade history class of how WWII happened.

Germany lost WWI and got completely screwed over (Germany didn't have a "Roaring Twenties" just a really long depression) and life just sucks. Then comes this charismatic asshole comes along and says "All of your problems are these guys fault!" which was kinda a general opinion of the time anyway and got everyone stirred up so they could get out of the depression and become a superpower again. And all the hatefulness was just ignored by the rest of the world (because everyone is kinda low-key racist) so it just festered up and by the time anyone realized there was a problem, it had gone way too far.

And even then, it was only a problem because these guys started beat up your friend (France) because you all teamed up on him a couple years ago.

Dogs wouldn't need to, because they have people to pick up after them.

Preventing it from rolling away means the wombats probably have a useful reason to keep to poop where it is (like keeping away other wombats or predators, or attracting food like detritivores). There are some animals that line their burrows with their own poop so other animals know that the burrow is inhabited.

It was fine. If it came out a decade ago (before the Avengers) it would have made like a billion dollars.

The problem is that people feel like the DC movies need to be as built up as the Marvel movies, but thats never been DC's forte, so it didn't work out well cramming everything together, and it was Avengers 1 when people (and WB) were looking for Avengers 3

I think DC should go back to how their old comics worked, where everyone just did their own thing. Every once in a while, if Batman was having a lot of trouble, Superman might come and help, but that was isolated from whatever Supes was doing at the time (as if you didn't need to read 900 comic books so you could follow the story)
