Still not the weirdest thing a Nic Cage character has done in a film

Couldn't be worse than him pissing fire as Ghost Rider.

The Tim Burton Superman Movie is the DC movie we deserve. It would have Nic Cage in a technosuit punching polarbears.

Wonder Woman was great. Shazam was amazing. Aquaman... exists.

TBF, Aquaman and Shazam! were pretty good.

Not a difficult feat.

You just put more effort into telling a compelling story than all of WB's execs.

Cue the flashback to Jonathan, reassuring a terrified child: "What you are is never as important as who you are." Cue Superman's response to Brainiac: "I already know who I am."*John Williams fanfare plays*

I don't think we even really need to see Krypton. I'd start with Clark growing up in Kansas, thinking he's normal, and follow him through the development of his powers. There've been enough alternate takes on Krypton that it could actually work as a mystery; is this the pre-Crisis utopia, the sterile science world, or the relic of a fallen empire? Brainiac was there, and he tempts Clark with the knowledge of what he really is.

First, a Krypton film, ending with baby Kal-El being found on Earth.  Then Supe's early career film, establishing his values... and if Jonothan Kent needs to die, it happens because of something like a heart attack while Clark is savnig folks on the other side of the world.  After we know Clark minimizes property damage and never kills, have Zod & Company show up and force him to make tough choices.

Man of Steel seems like someone came up with a Superman trilogy and then the execs said "We've got to catch up to Marvel, make it one film!".  I don't mean that based on the film's actual pacing, but because various story beats make more sense to me if they weren't all squished together.

I've been wanting to write a Superman movie trilogy for years; "Man of Steel" (featuring a Terminator-like Brainiac) was going to be first, with "Last Son of Krypton" (featuring the Eradicator) as the sequel and "Man of Tomorrow" (in which Luthor makes his face-heel turn) as the conclusion. Thanks to Snyder I have to re-arrange my titles.

I still wish "Man of Steel" had instead been an adaptation of both the John Byrne miniseries of the same name and the Jeph Loeb/Tim Sale miniseries "Superman For All Seasons".

A take I just read: Man of Steel is shot with such a lack of lighting that it is easier to discern what is going on in a porn film.

Making Soylant is harder then it looks, it's not like the movies, you have to keep whacking and hacking at the ingredient, it'll scream and fight, maybe bite but eventually it will go down.

varies from person to person.

It's an acquired taste

Soylent? Its pretty awful.

Depends on your denomination of Christianity

@Benbot Do they have a soy-free version? Like maybe just "Lent?"

Just occurred to me 'Autobot' Megatron happened in Target 2006.

have you tried Soylent? It's pretty good! https://soylent.com/

i prefer free-range human usually. pain in the ass to hunt though...

If your human is all bones, you may have purchased a skeleton by accident. Contact your grocer to inquire about exhange policies.

Vegans are categorised as human therefore just fall under Soylant, they are usually all bones.

Cause... that latter one is technically all burgers anyway.

So... a burger made without meat, or a burger made with the meat taken from a vegan?

I had a vegan burger last week, this week I'll give a vegan steak a shot.

a proper paradox would have broken the board. Nice try though.

This shout is empty.

I've got the admit. tubi tv is great. It's got a lot of stuff.. Including Super Sentai.

There is frankly no better place to (legally) find schlock on the internet for free than Tubi TV

It's got all the graphic violence and gratuitous nudity a late 80s OVA should have.

Available for free with ads on Tubi TV.

It's "Goku: Midnight Eye". Originally produced in the late 80s, it apparently wasn't dubbed until the late 90s given Steve Blum was the lead.

The description makes it sound like some high grade, mid 80's shlock. Which, frankly, is my groove.

Was wondering how long it would take someone to ask.

okay, it's been like two days so far: what anime is this, cause I'm dying to know.

You know you're in for a good time when an old anime starts with a crime lord uses roller skates in his cybernetic legs to skate down the side of the building, launches to a dock and into a getaway boat.

Hey Everyone I'm Making The TF Roll Out Short "Gotta Go Fast!"

That's what I was hoping for. But here I am, at work the following day.

You say "die in bed" and I'm thinking "why is that a problem?".

If you don't get out of bed ever your muscles will lock in super-uncomfortable ways and you may get blood clots

You did nothing, and so rocks fall down and you die.

But that's not you doing something, that's something being done to you.

Unless a meteor crashes down on your bed while you're in it.

I've been trying for the last few hours to find an argument to counter this... and I can't do it.

The most dangerous thing you can do is get out of bed in the morning. Everything else that happens is a consequence of that one terrible, terrible decision.

Driving, by itself, is dangerous. Anything done to compromise the concentration of the pilot just makes things worse.

Actually, I think you could make a reasonable argument for saying driving with glasses is dangerous. That is, more dangerous than driving with contacts or perfect vision. You have poor peripheral vision with glasses.
