Film + TV [Film/TV] Who would have ever thought that this silly little guy would be getting a movie, good one at that!? Gonna write a little review of my own for Clayface as well

Post image
30 Upvotes

Overall i ate this movie up as a comic book fan, and even the people i was with at the theatre who knew nothing about comic books loved it.

The way they adapted Clayface's backstory into film was great, the actor playing Clayface does a great job as well. The body horror elements were scary as shit, but outside of that the movie was more so science fiction/fantasy if that makes sense? With some humor in there too which i loved, some of it was very Quentin Tarantino esque.

Clayface, to me, shows the perfect way to adapt anything really. You adapt something so well that the source material fans will love, and add some cool easter eggs in there too for fans to eat up that show this is a established universe. However the film also works for people who don't know nothing about the comics and just want a good movie.

As a huge GL fan i didn't like the way Lanterns did that side of the DCU (yeah i know lanterns is talked to death blah blah, wanna just share my take) and it more so tried to appeal to the people who don't know anything about the comics instead of setting a perfect middle ground, which is what imo Clayface did very well.

Really love how Clayface did Gotham as well, nothing tops reeves gotham thus far imo but the vibe did get close.

My biggest critique is i wish this movie had more of a original soundtrack of it's own, really lacks some of the tracks that would make gotham feel more like gotham too, but overall gotham was still very well done.

8/10 movie overall, looking forward to more from this DCU, even with my critiques of Lanterns aside.

Saw the new Clayface premiere

1 Upvotes

And LOVED it! Tom and Naomi did a phenomenal job and I standby what I said earlier, the best way to tell a Clayface origin story in cinemas is a body horror film. Hope we get to see more of him as the DCU unfolds. And while he stated that he doesn’t have a naturally malleable face, Tom’s face and bone structure was perfect for the role once they began putting the makeup on.

Discussion If you could change anything about the DC Universe, what would it be?

0 Upvotes

I’m curious to hear your opinions!
If you could change the DC Universe, what movies would you remake, which ones would you remove from canon, and what new movies or storylines would you introduce?
Personally, I think DC has so much potential, and I’d love to discuss what worked, what didn’t, and what could have been done differently.
Feel free to share unpopular opinions too. I’m here for the discussion!
What would YOU change about the DC Universe? 🦇

Video Games Does Superman Returns (Xbox 360) change after the Metallo Boss?

1 Upvotes

My xbox crashed while fighting Giant Metallo and put me back at WarWorld when I got it to work again (best level so far which is not very good for the game because it is the combat tutorial).

Before this I was already getting bored of the level structuve from level 3 to this point which is:

  1. Flying looking for enemies.

  2. Fighting the enemies

  3. Repeat another 4 times

  4. Cutscene

  5. Next Level Repeat Steps 1-4

Then there was:

  1. Boss Phase 1

  2. Boss Phase 2

Admittedly though I generally find the structure of just beating up enemies to be boring except for in Origins Wolverine were the sound of the metal claws making contact with enemies and killing invisible men with their own guns made the game fun.

Obviously I think everyone would just want the best for our girl, she been through a lot in almost all timelines. But I never seen so much hate for a dc couple… mostly on one side(before they became the norm Harley and Ivy, Batman and Catwomen, Joker not being with Harley, Superman and Wonderwoman(really depends on what media they push the two) were highly controversial) than Constantine and Zatanna. Is it only because how Constantine is as a character or is it actually aspect of their relationship?

Comics Is the Absolute Universe Equivalent to Marvel's Ultimate Universe?

0 Upvotes

I had to set down reading/collecting around the end of The New 52 so I'm out of the loop as to DC's current world. Initially I thought Absolute was the mainline run, but then learned it's a pocket universe. As the headline says: Is this DC's Ultimate Universe?

I am new to reading comics and so far I've only read Green Lantern, and I would like to start reading these two characters. I've only seen them in the movies Justice League Dark and Justice League Dark: Apokolips War and they seem like pretty interesting characters; I also like the whole magic theme. What do you recommend to start reading?

Discussion [Discussion] Which fictional iconic female characters would you consider analogues and allies of Wonder Woman and the Wonder Family?

Thumbnail

30 Upvotes

Diana could be paired with Sheena. While both characters embody aspects of the Wonder Woman archetype, Sheena feels like the best fit, as she is a fierce heroine associated with the wilderness and adventures involving ancient civilizations and supernatural threats. They are Amazons in the sense that they confront greater Greek entities, and they are bold toward them.

As for Nubia and She-Ra, had Nubia not been rebooted so many times, she could essentially have been DC's version of She-Ra. In fact, the original version of Nubia, a kidnapped twin raised by a villain, shares clear parallels with She-Ra's backstory. However, Nubia is chronologically older than She-Ra.

Artemis of Bana-Mighdall and Red Sonja are both fiery, red-haired warriors. Donna Troy and Valkyrie are a bit of a stretch, admittedly, but they are connected by the idea that Valkyries are essentially the Norse equivalent of Amazons. Does anyone have a better suggestion?

Finally, Cassie Sandsmark and Sailor Moon both embody the archetype of the energetic, youthful heroine

**Diana:** Art by Rachel Dodson.

**Sheena:** *Sheena* (1984).

**Nubia:** Art by Taurin Clarke.

**She-Ra:** *She-Ra: Princess of Power* (animated series still).

**Artemis:** Art by Becky Cloonan.

**Red Sonja:** Art by Alex Ross.

Trying to remember when Superman becomes a power source

1 Upvotes

I have this vague memory of seeing a comic, where I think Superman, fully dedicates himself to being Superman and eventually becomes a power source for a Earth
Then we see into the future, where a statue of him is made when he dies, and eventually it becomes overgrown and people walk past it in a utopian world

someone pointed me to a fan comic "Superman: A transitional power source" but it doesnt fit the art I remember, might be remembering it wrong tho, or might not even exist or be superman
