DC Comics Multimedia General - A crisis of infinite fuck ups

[Incecticyder]

Your's certainly does.

 

[Product Placement]

Played Aztec Batman on the kiwifarms movie channel. It is awful in every way, but I can't say I didn't have some fun laughing at it.

 

[Newcomer 42]

It's funny how the writers sidestepped the whole "human sacrifice" thing by pushing it all onto Joka. Everyone else does the "safe" parts of the Aztec religion, but all Joka does is human sacrifice*, and then it ends badly and he goes mad. Oops. But don't worry, Aztecs are totally chill people!

*Except for one random scene where the Aztecs offer slaves ready to be sacrificed, that Cortez gently refuses, enraging the bad guys for not accepting their gifts.
Oh right, the movie doesn't talk about the whole slavery system the Aztecs had going on.

 

[TheAmbiguousLurker]

Speaking of horrible cartoons, I watched Batman Aztec! Commentary + spoilers below:

I find it funny how this is half a movie banking on having a second part. The villains all get away to try again, Joker was basically a side story that only contributed to killing the guy the villains were probably going to kill anyway, and nothing is resolved outside of Bruce accepting Barbados Bat God as his lord and saviour. 90% of the fights in this movie is 'Group A attack Group B. Neither side gains or loses anything. Group A flees.'

I love how they tip toe around the sacrifices. Like, the Aztecs are presented as the oh-so peaceful and generous people who are naive to the white man's evil intentions and do everything to appease them - oh, there's Joker ripping out someone's heart - they're a loving people who just want to get along and share their culture - a line of dialogue is the kind-hearted king basically going "Damn it, Joker, it's always sacrifices with you; you're making things weird. Go to the mountains and file for unemployment."

Is the Plague Doctor in the ending stinger supposed to be Penguin?

Didn't know there was a stinger. Or at least the version I watched lacks one, *cough*.
Don't forget Joka is kicked out for doing his job. He was doing what he believed was right, and he's punished at every turn for no reason.

They almost kind of explain this by saying "Oh yeah, the difference between the good gods and the bad ones are that the good ones are pedantic assholes who'll never give you a direct answer." which is even more hilarious.

The FOCKIN PRONOUNS guy is having a schizo meltdown, but I would not put this level of idiotic subversion past James.

Was Cyborg race AND gender-swapped? From black to white? That's a first.

It's not as big a deal as you think. Unless it's a red-head, white woman > black man every time to these people. Probably the only time they get it right...

David Simpson, AKA Gamers On Games, is the audience James Gunn and DC/WB want. He openly celebrates Charlie Kirk's assassination and calls for domestic terrorist attacks on conservatives in the United States.

I don't think Gunn will ever be allowed to make a Batman film in his DCU with him running things like this. WB won't risk a cashcow like Batman on someone like Gunn making a Batman & Robin tier disaster that ruins the characters image, especially when they already have a well liked version with the Reevesverse.

Character is a cyborg in comics

Shes not the cyborg from teen titans/justice league

Define the word "Nazi".

This is the entire concept behind creature commandos/gi robot

1) Nazis are so evil they aren't even human and its good to kill them without mercy
2) Everyone I disagree with on anything is a Nazi​

3) Everyone I dont like is a Nazi​

 

[Kulee Baba]

Tonight’s episode is fun finally the plot is moving.

 

[Make America Dumb Again]

Say what you want about Earth X but Adebayo getting chased was actually pretty funny ngl.

Reminds me of this scene from Ace Ventura.

 

[TruffleSpark]

My main takeaway from this episode is that Earth X doesn't have black people music but it does have Pokemon. So the Japanese have maintained their status as honorary Aryans. This contrasts with other "what if the Nazis won?" fiction where the Nazis tend to overturn their alliance with Japan as soon as the war is over.

 

[The High Prophet of Truth]

Only two shows and one film in and Gunn has managed to make a more politically obnoxious tone than anything the MCU has produced. I would not be shocked if a leftist commits a mass shooting/assassination at some point while wearing a G.I. Robot shirt.

Oh see now you just cursed the universe to have them reveal that "NO SHE IS THE CYBORG WE FOOLED YOU STUPID COMIC BOOK READERS"

Most predictable reveal in basically anything ever, Gunn is such a dull unoriginal writer his shit may as well be AI generated. 15 different projects about misfits forming a team each one beat for beat the exact same as the last. Muh nazis. Muh white people bad. Everyone put on your DC merch and stab to death the nearest ukrainian girl.
