The Reality - comics

Hi. X is run by a Nazi. That is all. I'll be on #BlueSky (but as TheRealityComics [ironically, no X!😂]

@ARSENALFANUK @Dominorecordco @horsegiirL420 @coachella @wetlegband Wet Leg is actually pretty great. I dunno wtf this is tho'. It looks like some kind of bad SNL sketch.

@Dominorecordco @horsegiirL420 @coachella @wetlegband Current popular music is the worst it’s ever been. WTF is this 😂

wet leg performs "CPR" with @horsegiirL420 live from the @coachella stage / the new album 'moisturizer' is out now

Baby girl replied with puerile epithets but blocked replies. Yes, this is EXACTLY how one has mature, intelligent discourse! 🙄🤦‍♂️

@jc75095 @Comichistorians

@TheRealityComix @Comichistorians You expressed it so perfectly.

#SNL’s #NormMacdonald discusses #dccomics’ #Superman #blue in 1998. This #energy based Superman caught a lot of flak right out the gate!

@MadbanditRoy @robertliefeld Seems like a rarity from my POV.🤷‍♂️

@TheRealityComix @robertliefeld I've NEVER had any argument with any employee at Midtown Comics since then.

@jc75095 @Comichistorians Grant was the ONLY one who cleverly knew how to still make Superman ACT LIKE Superman during this period. Over in the Superman books, the writers had run out of ideas. Grant saw Electric Supes as an opportunity, not a debilitating condition for the character.

@Comichistorians I think I was one of the few readers who enjoyed electric Super... Grant Morrison was the guy who best explored this version in JLA.

@thedannistar @Comichistorians It's a dumb joke for sure, but, to be fair, comics writer superstar Peter David, if I recall, dedicated his ENTIRE "But I digress..." column when that image was released to showing it & saying nothing more than "Needs ice skates." So, basically, SAME joke, just far more witty.

@Comichistorians Wasn’t funny then and less so now. Classic example of fans not handling temporary changes well.

@SorkDCU @LothWolffe "Superman...[tries] to save everyone...and does everything for humanity." That is NOT the Supes Snyder was portraying; problem is this was NOT made clear (via filmic storytelling) until the murder of Zod. Snyder needed to take a cue from G. Morrison & set up HIS version FROM GO!

It’s not a “crime” but for me is a missed opportunity Henry cavil was a very good cast but I have problems with every single act of the movie the more darker tone in a superman movie doesn’t sit well with me and it hasn’t been done good in my opinion my problems that I can remember (haven’t seen this film for 2years) Pa Kent death is so bad, The tone , The relationship with lois(it feels so forced) , The tone , The destructions, he doesn’t feel like a human he feels like a god (even tho he is a alien he is been raised in earth and feels human) and the other think and my main concern is him killing zod not because he didn’t deserve it like he would have killed the family if he didn’t but why push him to do it the first time we see a new superman? Superman is not a killer a god he is a wholesome fictional character that try’s to save everyone near him and does everything for humanity in general

I personally don't understand why it's become the norm to shit on Man of Steel. I remember when it released people had some issues with the final act of the film but ultimately it was still considered pretty solid. Now people act like it's a crime against cinema.

@LothWolffe @Eljhonny452 He has no moral compass. Destroying the truck was petty & un-Superman like. Stealing clothing from the clothesline. Murdering a dude. And before you defend each: This was NOT a documentary; you build better reasoning into the script, & these things CAN be fun or clever.

@Eljhonny452 How? What about MoS screams villain Superman? You guys literally just type shit.

@LothWolffe Um...I don't know of a single comics fan, film fan, or believer in story & character that thought anything like what you said. That does NOT mean people SHOULDN'T enjoy it, but let's not pretend it's a good movie. I loved Transformers 1-3, but I admit they're TERRIBLE.

@vlhadus @SepzenoOfficial I agree w/you. But I also think the scene is terrible. It's NOT the idea, it's the execution. Most of the complaints I saw at the time were the one I had w/it: The way it's shot, edited, and blocked, it SURE looked like Clark could've saved his dad & not given away the secret.

Because they wanted Clark to disobey his dad and save him because he could... because hes superman. People thought his dad died in a dumb way but I disagree. Dying to protect his son, his deepest secret, is a way better death than dying to a heart attack. This scene shows that Superman is vulnerable and can be weak in the proper context. He loves and respects his dad so much but knows he could have saved him. Its so conflicting for Clark emotionally. Its a really good scene imo. 🥲

Why do people hate this scene?

@ericmcclung @DCUAlert Never liked letting Ra's die, yet felt they gave decent in-story reasoning. BIGGEST issue: Movie does a TON of work to make BM believable...then they introduce the Illudium Q-36 Space Modulator; it evaporates water, but DOESN'T affect the 60% waterbags STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO IT?!

@DCUAlert Storywise? Probably nothing. Although gassing Scarecrow was kind of dumb because Batman still needed to get information from him. Visually, the costume is too rubbery. Gloves and gauntlets look very cheap. Ra's couldn't be saved from the train. Batman could not glide with him.

If you could change one thing about Batman Begins, what would it be? 🦇

@Pieces_of_Bits @Stunt_ManMik3 his directing style and editing, saying it was too fast and looked like a music video, etc. And I explicitly remember saying to that same friend mentioned earlier in this thread, "This guy just changed how movies are going to be made." And he did.

@Pieces_of_Bits @Stunt_ManMik3 Oh yeah, we knew of his resume going in...but there'd been a few of those by that time (I can't recall a single one any longer), so we had no qualms about it. Besides, "MTV-style" directing had LONG ago taken hold thx to Tony Scott and BEVERLY HILLS COP II. Critics HATED - 1/2👇

I understand people’s hate for it. I understand it has its fair share of bts issues, but I live and die by my opinion that Alien3 is a top tier Alien movie. I fuck with it’s dour nihilistic atmosphere, Goldenthal’s underrated score and the unique creative choices & location.

@TheFrankOzJam Well now, that was some silly fun! Was it your and your co-creator's decision to develop an Ed Wynn character, or did it come from some riffing the puppeteer was doing before there was a design or FROM the design or what? Also, nice to see some friends back to working w/you.

@Pieces_of_Bits @Stunt_ManMik3 I remember seeing it in the theater. My buddy & I were studying film in college; we could immediately spot things indicating it was a 1st-time director's movie...& also things that were likely studio notes. It was a mish-mash. Yet we mostly dug it. And his 2nd movie was PERFECT.

I knew going into the film that Newt and Hicks were being killed off. I was so pissed off about it that was determined to hate it. But I walked out of the theater really liking the film. It went back to the basics of the original film, adding welcome tension to the story. Knowing what a shitshow the production was added to my appreciation for it.

@ItsLennyMarx @TheVallyD No, we loved Jack, we hated the forced in Prince music and the fun thing just doesn't make sense within the context, and tone, of the movie ‐‐ nor does the Batplane posing in front of the moon or Batman wantonly killing people.

@TheRealityComix @TheVallyD I guess the fans didn't read the comics at the time, because Joker was exactly like how he was: a madman who sees everything as a huge circus.

It’s fascinating to me that the Tim Burton “Batman” was considered groundbreaking & even “controversial” at the time b/c it wasn’t campy/funny like the 60’s TV series…and then like 6 yrs later the highly successful franchise inexplicably decides to go *back* to campy/funny…
