The DCEU ends not with a bang, but a wimper. (lemmy.ml)

10 years after Zod’s snapped neck, Martha, “some kinda Suicide Squad”, CGI moustache, rennouncing your wish, the hiearchy of power changing, and Speed Force PS1 graphics, the DC Extended Universe finally comes to a close. And it ends the same way it started - with a Rotten score....

MajorHavoc,

In the history of Aquaman in the media, on the “wet sidekick for the water episodes of superfriends” scale, you’re describing a solid B+, though.

MajorHavoc,

Wow. I 50/50 suspected you were making that up.

Honestly - How much will you sacrifice for a better world?

Confronted with the likelihood that we cannot achieve climate goals, confront socioeconomic inequality, and ultimately build a better world without significant personal sacrifice: How much are you personally capable and willing to lose? I mean this in the most earnest way possible. Acknowledging the likely possibility of working...

I’ve given up huge piles of cash by choosing to not work for megacorps.

It’s worth it to me.

Confronted with the likelihood that we cannot achieve climate goals.

The current trend line sucks, but we’ve seen plenty of times in history what the ultra rich ignoring the plight of everyone else looks like. Someone please pass the “not with them” list to me to sign when it’s time to chop their heads off.

I wish I was joking, but I’m not. Seriously. I’m not with them. I would like to keep my head while we adjust course abruptly.

Edit: To be clear, I am not advocating. What should happen is that our climate, inequality, and injustice trends get fixed through peaceful cooperation. But our current crop of billionaires don’t show a lot of sign of either wanting that, or having any real awareness of where their current path, historically, goes. Which wouldn’t really be material to me, other than beacuse I’m at risk both from the climate, and from how guillotines historically kill a lot of bystanders.

MajorHavoc,

His butt is a laser!

Took me a minute. I’m proud I figured that out on my own.

MajorHavoc,

Nice. I didn’t realize there were do many awful Vulcans. This has been enlightening.

MajorHavoc,

Yeah, I was gonna say “there’s links to reddit?!”. I blocked those so long ago I had forgotten about it.

MajorHavoc,

Oh hey, thanks! I never particularly wanted any of my apps to route around the VPN, but there the option it is under Advanced, when split tunneling is enabled. Could be handy. Thanks!

MajorHavoc,

I blocked whoever you’re replying to a long time ago. So this thread was quite a roller coaster for me.

For context though, I block people for posting images with bright white backgrounds that blind me when I’m reading later at night than I should. So I have no way of knowing if what I’m missing is awful, or delightful.

(I mean, I could log out and check, but what fun would that be…)

MajorHavoc,

I… Like… potatoes…?

MajorHavoc,

I laughed, but I would still go see it.

MajorHavoc,

Man continues: “So if you could send a taxi to pick me up, that would be terrific. No, I guess I didn’t need to tell you all of that, but this car phone is pretty neat, don’t you think? Yes. I’ll be waiting at the curb, I’m standing there now!”

MajorHavoc,

“I don’t always accept payment in liquid latinum, but when I do, I store it somewhere safe.”

MajorHavoc,

Yeah!

The actual additions to Klingon lore, and cultrue, I loved.

I just wished I could have seen more of it with better lighting.

(As opposed to the the Kelvin universe, which I wish I could have sen more of with less lens flare. Haha. I’m realizing I might be a lighting snob.)

MajorHavoc,

Now that’s a plan!

MajorHavoc,

Yes! And Dolly Parton!

MajorHavoc,

It makes me happy that somewhere, someone, is reading your comment with no knowledge of the scene you’re referring to. I hope they search for it and are delighted.

Edit: And I agree 100%.

MajorHavoc,

Rory and Amy

MajorHavoc,

It’s actually cut off at “bell” the first time before it passes out. It manages “belt” later.

MajorHavoc,

Everyone has to start somewhere.

I hope you got a coupon discount or something, though.

MajorHavoc,

Yarrr. I’ve not taken part myself, but I hear there be extremely affordable ways to obtain digital files in this age.

Spotify is a last gross gasp of the dying music industrial complex, before direct payments for early access, directly to artists, becomes the primary form of music sales.

MajorHavoc,

Perfect reason to put your feet up and relax.

In your shoes, I would assume the universe was telling me to play the Mario game that just came out.

But seriously, that sucks. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Why wasn't NYC's Central Park concept copied by other cities?

I’m talking about a massive park in the absolute heart of the city. Located such that is naturally surrounded by city high rises. *People are giving examples of parks that are way off in the boonies. I’m trying to say located centrally, heart of the city, you know where the high rises are. Yes I understand nyc has more, the...

MajorHavoc,

Just so you know, you’re probably not being downvoted by any Chicagoans.

Even the most devout Chicagoan evangelist will just typically grunt and nod in response to someone calling Chicago a shithole.

We understand that Chicago is not everyone’s cup of tea.

MajorHavoc,

I dunno. With enough money, “yes men” can be employed to tell me how much I deserve to be the boss, and books I’m uncomfortable with can be removed from my local library. /s

Edit: But I would never do that. Simple delusions of grandeur are easier to achieve and have fewer network externalities.

MajorHavoc,

But maximizing the lie is a perfectly cromulent way to achieve happiness.

MajorHavoc,
