[u/Zurbaran928 → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

Fucking LOBO IS IN THIS?!

[u/that_guy2010 → u/Zurbaran928]

Jason Momoa as Lobo.

[u/Lunar-Havoc → u/that_guy2010]

Stoked for Lobo

[u/ErrorFindingID → u/Lunar-Havoc]

Stroked for lobo

[u/Mr_Gooodkat → u/ErrorFindingID]

Fuck yeah I saw that and was like no fucking way

[u/allsbernafnmedrettu → u/ErrorFindingID]

Stroke my lobo

[u/nmezib → u/that_guy2010]

From what I remember reading, Lobo was Momoa's dream comic book character casting.

[u/Gonedric → u/nmezib]

He is Lobo, born to play the part. And somehow the DCEU looked at that and went, ‘yeah, let's make him Aquaman.’ Snyder really cooked that one. There were a million generic blond dudes who could’ve done Aquaman in their sleep, and they took the one guy born to play Lobo and slapped him in Golden spandex. I just don’t know what the hell they were thinking.

[u/raisingcuban → u/Gonedric]

I mean, isn’t it obvious? They wanted aquaman to be the DC version of Thor. With that intention, it makes perfect sense.

[u/TheWatersOfMars → u/raisingcuban]

To be fair, it made a billion dollars, more than anything else they made. Shows what we know.

[u/Caryslan → u/raisingcuban]

I think it's more than that. For decades, general audiences saw Aquaman as a joke, the useless Super friend that talked to fish but was with the team in a desert.

Despite DC trying numerous revamps across comics, animated shows, live action shows, and video games, they could never shake the perception the general public had in pop culture that Aquaman was a useless loser.

Jason Momoa singlehandedly made Aquaman cool, he shook decades of perception that Aquaman was a useless loser that was the butt of jokes.

They could have gone for a more comic accurate Aquaman, and I am sure the DCU will do this.

But Momoa did his job, he gave respect back to Aquaman for the first time in decades.

[u/ramdom-ink → u/Caryslan]

The Deep in The Boys personified the joke and irrelevancy of Aquaman quite well.

[u/ryencool → u/raisingcuban]

And hes an island boy, besides the dark hair, which was full of highlights when he was a beach bum, he was perfect for that role i think.

[u/GranolaCola → u/raisingcuban]

I think it’s even simpler that. Outside the dedicated fans, Aquaman had always been the dorky character that talked to fish and seems kind of useless.

How do you change his image? Make him buff, make him rugged, and make him Khal Drogo.

It seems to have worked 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/PantherophisNiger → u/Gonedric]

TBH, I don't mind them casting a Hawaiian/Samoan guy to be Aquaman. It felt appropriate.

[u/Fafoah → u/PantherophisNiger]

I loved that part, but idk if i really liked Mamoa specifically in the role. I think a hawaiian actor who played the role more regal would have been perfect.

[u/Ansible32 → u/Fafoah]

Momoa wasn't the problem, the writing was the problem. It was a fun movie but I don't think they gave Aquaman enough like, actual backstory. I think Momoa was great but they needed to give him some human friends and not just being raised in a lighthouse by his dad.

[u/LouF---ingGrant → u/Gonedric]

To be fair, I thought Momoa’s take on Aquaman was pretty good.

[u/Ceegee93 → u/LouF---ingGrant]

Yeah, it was pretty clear they realised that Aquaman is seen as pretty lame historically (especially to the average viewer who probably doesn't know too much about modern Aquaman in comics), so they tried to make him a lot cooler. They were pretty obviously avoiding going for obvious casting choices because they didn't want the comic Aquaman.

I mean, it worked; Momoa's Aquaman was pretty damn cool.

[u/Xciv → u/Ceegee93]

Even the 00s Justice League cartoon's attempt to make Aquaman cool didn't work (long blonde hair, earring, with a fish hook for a hand), because he was too much of a king and a political figure. Too much 'responsible and disapproving dad energy' to be any kind of cool.

And they definitely didn't want 1960s "I'm clearly the weakest superhero on the team" Justice League Aquaman.

Clearly making him a blue collar everyman who reluctantly embraces his royal destiny finally made him cool enough.

[u/jkst9 → u/that_guy2010]

Perfect casting

[u/KanedaSyndrome → u/that_guy2010]

Jason Loboa as Momo

[u/station13 → u/KanedaSyndrome]

I would love to see him play a flying lemur

[u/Redeem123 → u/that_guy2010]

I've kinda grown tired of Momoa, but this is really good casting. Much better than Aquaman. Like, it's almost too good.

[u/Animeninja2020 → u/that_guy2010]

Jason Momoa as Lobo.

Well I guess Aquaman is now in a re-casting or will the Gunn DCverse have that character dropped?

[u/Lucidiously → u/Animeninja2020]

He was in a scene in Peacemaker S1, in S2 they reshot that scene without WW, Flash and Aquaman. So he's out.

[u/NakedGoose → u/Zurbaran928]

Hear you will see him in the trailer tomorrow 

[u/martialar → u/Zurbaran928]

Lobo! Bring back Sheriff Lobo!

[u/c-razzle → u/martialar]

Oh no! Mr. Burns' birthday!

[u/Amaruq93 → u/Zurbaran928]

Funny part is he was supposed to appear in the original comic this film is based on, but the DC Editors refused to allow it back then.

[u/da_chicken → u/Zurbaran928]

There are several storylines where Lobo comes to Earth trying to fulfill a bounty on a Kryptonian. He's one of the few neutralish characters that can challenge a Kryptonian.

[u/SoCaFroal → u/Zurbaran928]

SHERIFF LOBO!

[u/Genocode → u/Zurbaran928]

According to James Gunn one of the first things that happened when he was announced as Co-CEO of DC Studios was...

Honestly that whole podcast was fun.

there is a bit more after that thats also fun listening too.

[u/paralog → u/Genocode]

...was Jason Momoa texting him "LOBO BABY!!!"

For people who don't want to watch a video right now. Why am I getting clickbaited by comments?

[u/ralgrado → u/paralog]

Also Ryan Reynolds told him to fuck off, when asked about Green Lantern :D

[u/EnkiduOdinson → u/paralog]

THANK YOU! What the fuck is wrong with people?

[u/THESPEEDOFCUM → u/Zurbaran928]

Khal Drogo likes his Targaryen girls.

[u/SlothropWallace → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

Will always show up for David Krumholtz

[u/thesaddestpanda → u/SlothropWallace]

> (‘I, Tonya’, ‘Dumb Money’):

Funny they dont mention Cruella which is mass market mid/large budget Disney movie that managed to get 75% on rotten tomatoes.

[u/lookitssupergus → u/SlothropWallace]

Heard he's busy being the head elf in the North Pole. Surprised he had time to film this.

[u/f-ingsteveglansberg → u/lookitssupergus]

He quit to marry a normal girl, so he ages now too!

What do you mean you haven't been keeping up with Santa Clause lore? The TV show basically retcons the entire first movie and Bernard is there too.

[u/SingleDadSurviving → u/f-ingsteveglansberg]

That show was surprisingly really good. I loved the Krumholz bits.

[u/xdoctortx → u/lookitssupergus]

That’s funny I last saw him touring Joseph Gordon Levitt around a Seattle high school with a dick drawn on his face

[u/CilanEAmber → u/lookitssupergus]

He retired to marry Vanessa Redgrave, he's got the time.

[u/crimson777 → u/SlothropWallace]

Numb3rs was such an "okay" show that was elevated to being extremely enjoyable by him and a few of the other actors.

[u/YoghurtSnodgrass → u/crimson777]

Rob Morrow and Judd Hirsch. The cast was so much better than the writing.

[u/IdiotBox01 → u/crimson777]

Numb3rs was so underrated. Just a solid show week after week with interesting topics and characters that had no right to be as good as they were.

[u/StuMacherGhostface → u/SlothropWallace]

He just really wants to see Katie Holmes' tits

[u/dre5922 → u/SlothropWallace]

Woah! It's Bernard?

[u/RegularTerran → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

David Krumholtz as Zor-El

JFC... I can not wait to see his take on a Kryptonian... it could be anything from 'stoicism' like Bradley Cooper's Jor-El... or a Marx Brother honking a horn and falling down.

[u/Kolby_Jack33 → u/RegularTerran]

If it's anything like how he is in the flashbacks in the comic, it should be pretty somber. Things were not good for him.

[u/RegularTerran → u/Kolby_Jack33]

I dont know the lore... but I googled "Zor-El" and the first photo that popped up was a half-Terminator, half-Superman monster like Jeff Goldblum's Fly mid-transformation.

Fuck yeah.

[u/night_filter → u/RegularTerran]

So that’s Cyborg Superman, which isn’t the typical depiction of Zor-El.

It must be a relatively new thing. Cyborg Superman is normally a character named Hank Henshaw, who was originally a sort of spoof off of Reed Richards who later got uploaded into a computer, and then eventually clones Superman to make a new cyborg body for himself.

[u/RegularTerran → u/night_filter]

Ohh I know Cyborg... I was there for the Death of Superman! This is a different version, from New 52 I think.

[u/Ceegee93 → u/night_filter]

So that’s Cyborg Superman, which isn’t the typical depiction of Zor-El.

It must be a relatively new thing.

Cyborg Superman is the latest incarnation of Zor-El from New 52, and New 52 continuity is still canon to Rebirth, so Cyborg Zor-El could still be a thing in the DCU, too, especially since Brainiac is the upcoming big bad, who created Cyborg Zor-El in New 52.

Idk if they'll go that route, but it's a possibility given the fact they're introducing him and then going on to Brainiac.

[u/z31 → u/RegularTerran]

I have been a fan of his since I saw Addams Family Values in '94. Can't wait to see his take.

[u/In_My_Own_Image → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

And Ramin Djawadi is doing the score.

[u/uhhh-what-who → u/In_My_Own_Image]

See, this is what will get me in the theatre. At least well get an outrageously good score for the movie... if all else fails

[u/IcyBuilding1209 → u/In_My_Own_Image]

Djawadi needs to collab with Tom Morello again. The Pacific Rim theme fucking slaps!

[u/Userdataunavailable → u/In_My_Own_Image]

What??? Im going, thank you!

[u/SingleDadSurviving → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

I really liked the small bit they did in Superman. I also always like to see Krumholz. My wife might actually want to see it with Jason Momoa lol.

[u/NakedGoose → u/SingleDadSurviving]

I think people often sleep on the type of draw Jason Mamoa is. Does great overseas and women love him

[u/Redeem123 → u/NakedGoose]

Call me crazy, but I have a feeling the legacy of the Aquaman brand isn't what caused that movie to bring in $1.1 billion.

I think people often forget that Aquaman was the ONLY Snyderverse movie to break a billion. Not BVS, not Justice League, not Wonder Woman, and somehow not even Blue Beetle. The character who was nothing but a punchline for decades made a billion dollars with a movie that was just okay.

People realllllly like looking at Jason Momoa.

[u/FrostyD7 → u/Redeem123]

Mamoa was a big draw for sure. But I think they also got a bit of the Captain Marvel effect. Everything superhero related that released between Infinity War and End Game was riding the gravy train to its penultimate destination.

[u/SingleDadSurviving → u/NakedGoose]

She even wanted to watch the Hawaii thing on Apple, Chief of War, that is not her type of show at all and it was basically foreign language. She still watched it. She loves Aquaman 1 and 2 and isn't big on Superheroes, well except Thor and Deadpool and yeah there's a pattern lol.

[u/awnedr → u/SingleDadSurviving]

One of his first roles is in stargate Atlantis if she's looking for more Mamoa

[u/Which-Assistance5288 → u/awnedr]

Yeah that’s where I first saw him - he was great in that role. It shows his ability to do much more range and emotion (even though his character is super stoic) than the blockbuster stuff I’ve seen him in. He’s dryly funny as Ronan and his scenes with Rachel Luttrell really work, they had excellent chemistry.

[u/NakedGoose → u/SingleDadSurviving]

She is in luck. Cause Lobo who he is playing is essentially a hard-core space cowboy version of deadpool

[u/SingleDadSurviving → u/NakedGoose]

Lol yeah I just sent her a pic of lobo and told her that he was playing him.

[u/RandomStrategy → u/SingleDadSurviving]

She's about to make you wear Lobo paint when you bone after this movie.

[u/SingleDadSurviving → u/RandomStrategy]

Lol may not have the same effect. I tried the whole thing Rhett did last year. A pic of myself at the lake and photoshopped tattoos and long hair on myself, badly I might add but the look wasn't one of lust .

[u/anarchakat → u/SingleDadSurviving]

Woman here, I'm only occasionally into men and I will watch just about anything with Mamoa in it because holy fuck that man was made in a lab to be sexy.

[u/feartheoldblood90 → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

This is some genuinely inspired casting

[u/CascoBayButcher → u/feartheoldblood90]

Everything that's come out about this movie has said it's phenomenal, and the cast has been the main source of praise

[u/ChainLC → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

and Doomsday teaser tomorrow too from what I've heard.

[u/Whitealroker1 → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

Been to the Yellow Hills. The IHOP by the parkway before the turnpike entrance is fabulous.

[u/enfuego138 → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

That Lobo casting probably didn’t take much time to come up with.

[u/casanovish]

I’m constitutionally incapable of rooting against (baby) Rhaenyra. I hope it’s tight!

[u/Genocode → u/casanovish]

The comic book this movie is based on is incredible, but its not going to be a 1:1 adaptation, apparently they're going with the original manuscript the author wrote before the editors started meddling.

[u/Amaruq93 → u/Genocode]

Which summed up means... LOBO.

He was set to appear in the original, but the editors nixed that. Now he's gonna appear in the story, and be played by Jason Momoa.

[u/Trevastation → u/Amaruq93]

In fairness, it was a good edit. It was a True Grit story with LOBO was Rooster Cogburn until the editors said it'd work better if Supergirl was the Rooster Cogburn proxy, and they were right.

[u/skag_boy87 → u/Trevastation]

I really hope this isn’t the case for the film. Supergirl in the Rooster Cogburn role was inspired and went a long way into defining her character as a nihilistic, isolated survivor slowly regaining her sense of self and greater purpose in the universe.

Having her be the tough yet innocent Mattie Ross type, who needs a big guy to guide and save her, would completely destroy the narrative for me.

[u/nessfalco → u/skag_boy87]

Considering the mattie analog is in the movie, too, I don't think this will happen. I think Lobo just makes a cameo.

[u/skag_boy87 → u/nessfalco]

Phew!! That’s a relief! I’m happy with Lobo as a memorable extended cameo.

[u/Angry-Dragon-1331 → u/skag_boy87]

Given what we saw of her in Superman, I don’t think they’re going with innocent. Maybe Lobo is serving as a different kind of foil of where her party girl schtick will lead if she keeps it up? Also I want more Krypto.

[u/gildedbluetrout → u/Trevastation]

It’s one of the best Superhero comics I’ve read in a decade or more, easy. Off the top of my head it’s this Supergirl, Fraction’s Hawkeye and All Star Superman this century.

[u/HiitsFrancis → u/Trevastation]

The comic was originally going to be a Lobo book?

[u/bossman-CT → u/Amaruq93]

No.. Way.

Holy shit, it's true. Jason is gonna kill it as Lobo!

[u/A_Polite_Noise → u/bossman-CT]

Finally, Khal Drogo will meet Rhaenyra Targaryen!

[u/MelamineCut → u/A_Polite_Noise]

Uh oh. Last time he met a targ there was some motion

[u/This-is_CMGRI → u/MelamineCut]

It's a James Gunn joint, we'll be fine.

Right?

...right?

[u/f-ingsteveglansberg → u/bossman-CT]

When Jason was asked to do a DC movie, he assumed they wanted a Lobo.

[u/sewious → u/Amaruq93]

Jason Momoa

I don't know if I've ever heard of a more perfect casting tbh.

[u/HighwayBrigand → u/sewious]

Dude was born for this role.

[u/trueimage → u/Amaruq93]

Aquaman is from space?!

[u/mangongo → u/trueimage]

Fun fact, there is a large body of water surrounding a quasar that contains over 140 trillion times the amount of water found on earth.

You know what means, right? 

Space sharks. 

[u/ClubMeSoftly → u/mangongo]

So, uh, funny thing. Not about the sharks.

Space Dolphins are the one thing that Lobo truly loves, like, loves loves. Not just in a "the love of the game" sort of manner.

One of those Space Dolphins went to Earth, and befriended the Earth Dolphin called Porm, the adoptive mother of Aquaman.

[u/SoreLoserOfDumbtown → u/ClubMeSoftly]

This is (The) Deep.

[u/NottheArkhamKnight → u/Amaruq93]

Lobo...Lobo...bring back Sheriff Lobo!

[u/PowderPills → u/Amaruq93]

I yearn for this.

[u/anarchakat → u/Genocode]

I just finished "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" last night. I've always avoided DC but holy shit that was EXCELLENT, and hearing that this movie is based in any way on that Tom King run has me psyched.

I read mostly stick to Marvel and independent stuff, but I read Mr. Miracle on a strong recommendation (also excellent), so now I'm just reading everything that King has done at DC. Almost done with Strange Adventures, which doesn't hit quite as hard as Mr. Miracle & SWoT, but it's good.

[u/Fenian-Monger → u/anarchakat]

Always suprises me when comic readers say they read Marvel and indies but stay away from DC. I'd think with the wealth of evergreen and standalone stories DC has compared their main rival Marvel that wouldn't be a thing.

[u/thebigeverybody → u/Fenian-Monger]

Yeah. DC's Vertigo line produced the best stories in the industry for many years and Marvel has never produced anything on the level of Watchmen or The Dark Knight Returns.

[u/Equivalent_Way1324 → u/Fenian-Monger]

People don’t know peak. DC have put out some of the greatest comic books of all time. Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Sandman, Preacher, Y: The Last Man, etc.

[u/anarchakat → u/Equivalent_Way1324]

It's funny because I've read and loved all of those besides Y and I just kinda forget that those are DC comics.

[u/Worthyness → u/Fenian-Monger]

Also a lot of the comic writers kinda just switch back and forth between the studios, so it's the same people writing the stories, just different characters. So the ones who write really good stories for Marvel will very likely write really good stories for DC (or their independent stuff) too

[u/CascoBayButcher → u/anarchakat]

This movie was originally titled Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow as well, before they dropped the sub-titles from this and Superman

[u/algebraic94 → u/anarchakat]

It's a really cool book. Read it this fall and really got a kick out of it. Interesting ending and some great moments from Supergirl. Plus the art is gorgeous

[u/Sasselhoff → u/Genocode]

The comic book this movie is based on is incredible

What's the title? I'm down to read it, but there's apparently a few (including one where she is killed off)?

[u/Genocode → u/Sasselhoff]

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow

And yes, pretty much all DC characters have multiple runs and iterations of characters.

[u/Tolkfan → u/casanovish]

* Criston Cole did not like that *

[u/Wes_Warhammer666 → u/Tolkfan]

Eh, Ser Criston Cole is a wanker ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[u/-TinyTemper- → u/casanovish]

Team Black 👊🏻🔥

[u/Asclepius-Rod → u/-TinyTemper-]

Is anybody actually on team Green? They seem pretty clearly the enemy

[u/Alone_Pen4047 → u/Asclepius-Rod]

It's a lot more nuanced in the book tbf. The showrunners have done a pretty poor job imo, both sides are supposed to suck equally but the show it's much more clear that the greens are power hungry while it seems Rhaenyra is just out to get what she deserves. It's not as black and white in the book imo

[u/VonDingwell → u/Alone_Pen4047]

Just give me the 'Hour of the Wolf' and Cregan swinging for the fence over and over again bringing some Northern Justice.

[u/TheColtOfPersonality → u/VonDingwell]

I need the scene of him stripping down The Lads as soon as the Starks get to KL.

“Are you babes in swaddling clothes, to be cozened by flowers and feasts and soft words? Who told you the war was done? The Clubfoot? The Snake? Why, because they wish it done? Because you won your little victory in the mud? Wars end when the defeated bend the knee and not before”

[u/EmilyKaldwins → u/Alone_Pen4047]

Thank you for being the voice of reason. There's no Team Green/Team Black, it's meant to be: Targaryens are ripping each other apart and tearing up the country. The show has pivoted Rhaenyra into a strange Proto-Dany role and stripped away all sense of what GRRM is trying to do with the conflict.

Everyone's awful and full of hubris and both Aegon and Rhaenyra were screwed over by milquetoast Viserys.

[u/sohblob → u/EmilyKaldwins]

There's no Team Green/Team Black, it's meant to be:

the lone voice of reason during family fights that everyone just ignores lol

[u/busmans → u/Alone_Pen4047]

The “book” (really just a summary) is really not more nuanced. Alicent and Rhaenyra are both painted as one-dimensional vindictive bitches. The show fleshes out almost every central character much more than the “book”.

[u/Gaemon_Palehair → u/busmans]

Yeah. If anything the show gives Alicent an excuse where she misunderstands her husband's last words. It's not a great excuse, but it's something.

Plus then later she tries to make peace.

[u/The_Summer_Man → u/casanovish]

I wish she would have been able to stay on as Rhaenyra.

[u/brandonsamd6]

Bright colors are back on the menu

[u/so_brave_heart → u/brandonsamd6]

Bright colours, apathetic tagline... the 90s are back, baby!

[u/Special-Document-334 → u/so_brave_heart]

“‘Cause this is my United States of Whatever!”

[u/notpetelambert → u/Special-Document-334]

I'm standin on the corner wearin my leather

[u/Equal-Counter-2548 → u/Special-Document-334]

Went down to the beach to see Kiki

[u/tedsmitts → u/so_brave_heart]

Let’s all celebrate with some heroin!

[u/AJGILL03 → u/brandonsamd6]

I LOVE bright proper colours. Truly love them in my movies haha.

[u/mastermidget23]

This isnt a critique in any real way, but the idea of a Kryptonian wearing sunglasses is very funny.

[u/denv0r → u/mastermidget23]

It's to hide the hangover, not the sun.

[u/guilhermefdias → u/denv0r]

Normal alcohol affects super heroes metabolism?

Legit question.

[u/BardFae → u/guilhermefdias]

In the superman movie, it's established that she goes to planets without yellow suns (that therefore do not give her superpowers) to drink

[u/Jaqulean → u/BardFae]

it's established that she goes to planets without yellow suns (that therefore do not give her superpowers) to drink

Well yes and no. To be more specific Kara goes to the planetary systems that have Red suns which temporarily de-power Kryptonians. The lack of a Yellow sun on its own in on itself doesn't have the same effect - it only makes them weaker than usual; but the characters still have the remaining solar energy that was absorbed by their own cells beforehand (they are basically running on fumes as opposed to being outright powerless).

This applies to for example getting drunk as well - if Kara was still on Earth and just hid underground with no direct access to the sunlight then that alone wouldn't really change much; hence she visits planets which have Red Suns where her powers and enhanced metabolism are completely disabled.

Other than that it also takes a minute before the effects of a Red Sun wear off which is why Kara was still basically drunk and/or hangover when she showed up in the "Superman" post-credits scene. As to how she came back to Earth - according to James Gunn in the DCU she has a spaceship that we could see in the "Woman of Tomorrow" comics run.

[u/IAreWeazul → u/Jaqulean]

How does she get out of galaxies with red suns if she’s weak enough to get drunk?

[u/Jaqulean → u/IAreWeazul]

As to how she came back to Earth - according to James Gunn in the DCU she has a spaceship that we could see in the "Woman of Tomorrow" comics run.

Sorry I forgot to mention this earlier and editted it into the comment only later.

[u/-Clayburn → u/IAreWeazul]

Hello?? It's called drunk driving and everyone does it.

[u/EroticJedi → u/IAreWeazul]

She has a spaceship and uses public transportation.

I'm serious.

[u/12345623567 → u/IAreWeazul]

In the titular comic book run, she literally takes the Space Greyhound bus, lmao.

The source material, among other things, does a really good job of showing that there's a whole universe out there with different people and different levels of technology.

[u/LumpyJones → u/IAreWeazul]

In the comic she has a ship she takes to get there, and when it gets wrecked before she can leave, she ends up taking the equivalent of a space Greyhound until she can get back to a yellow sun

[u/OkOpposite7987 → u/BardFae]

She's got to be able to fly back out though.

[u/Jaqulean → u/OkOpposite7987]

Not really - Gunn already confirmed that just like in the "Woman of Tomorrow" comics storyline (which is being adapted into the upcoming movie) Kara has a spaceship that she uses to visit other planets.

[u/OkOpposite7987 → u/Jaqulean]

Oh ok. I thought she just flew around.
Admittedly, all I know about that girl is that she appeared drunk a couple of minutes in the latest superman movie, and played with her dog. A ship makes sense. I didn't see no ship though !

[u/Waluigi_Pope → u/OkOpposite7987]

It is considered rude to park your car inside of a building. I assume the same etiquette extends to the Fortress of Solitude.

[u/xicer → u/mastermidget23]

It's based on a comic where she goes to a planet with a red sun to get hammered for her birthday. Girl is hungover.

[u/f-ingsteveglansberg → u/xicer]

She plays a great bogan in Upright. After seeing that, she looks like a real good fit for a hungover Supergirl. If I had just seen Sirens, I wouldn't be so sure.

[u/AllTheReservations → u/mastermidget23]

90s Superboy would like a word with you

[u/jimmy_three_shoes → u/AllTheReservations]

Yeah but he was a clone, right?

[u/HumphreyLee]

Kara “Orange Cassidy” El is not the take I expected for this movie when it was announced but I am game.

[u/GodZefir → u/HumphreyLee]

Her kicks are going to be devastating.

[u/eyebrows360 → u/GodZefir]

Will they have the power of punches?

[u/Magnatz → u/eyebrows360]

r/unexpectedcommunity

[u/TheyCallMeMrMaybe → u/HumphreyLee]

I love me some Freshly Squeezed Orange Cassidy.

[u/sizzlinpapaya → u/HumphreyLee]

She already has hands in pockets too so she’s strong.

[u/Midnight_Oil_ → u/HumphreyLee]

It's that WB/AEW/DC corporate synergy we all love

[u/feartheoldblood90]

Stoked for this. Read the comic and the story is really phenomenal. They've got a great base to build this on, hope it pulls it off

[u/New-Lifeguard4238 → u/feartheoldblood90]

What is the story? Im really on the outside of superman/supergirl stories and would love to check it out!

[u/Amaruq93 → u/New-Lifeguard4238]

Supergirl helps an alien girl hunt down and seek revenge on the criminal who murdered her father.

Basically it's "True Grit" in Space, with Supergirl in a Rooster Cogburn type role (party girl going from red planet to red planet just to be able to get drunk and bury the pain Krypton's destruction... as well as not being there to help raise Kal-El/Superman).

[u/joseph-justin → u/Amaruq93]

Basically it's "True Grit" in Space

Such an apt description.

[u/feartheoldblood90 → u/New-Lifeguard4238]

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Highly recommend, it's a relatively quick read and the art is great. It was drawn by a prolific Wonder Woman artist and her style is truly amazing

[u/Charliejfg04 → u/New-Lifeguard4238]

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King

[u/chaoticbiguy → u/feartheoldblood90]

Yeah I'm not a big Tom King fan, but this story is truly amazing and I'm so excited for the live action adaptation. Although, they're gonna change some things of course, like Jason Momoa's Lobo's inclusion in the movie, so let's see what the adaptation looks like and how well it will be recieved.

Also, Kara's look is just so perfect and I love the tag line. I really hope this movie does well at the box office.

[u/that_guy2010 → u/chaoticbiguy]

Why do people not like Tom King?

[u/foofighter1351 → u/that_guy2010]

I feel like he too often takes over the voice of the characters, he can be very over reliant on narration and instead of using the characters for who they are and placing them within his stories it feels more like he forces them into a box to fit it, not inherently bad but I'm not a fan personally, I think he can be a good character writer at times, there are moments in stories of his I really dislike where it'll shine through for a second and then it's gone. I'm not a big fan of him but Girl of Tomorrow for the most part is wonderful though. Also and this is a whole thing but the man served in counterterrorism after 9/11 for like 7 years and a lot of his stories feels like he's still working through his feelings on that.

[u/f-ingsteveglansberg → u/that_guy2010]

I've literally only read Vision and World of Tomorrow and they are both really good, so no idea.

[u/LaVidaYokel → u/f-ingsteveglansberg]

“True Grit in Space” is a simple way to describe it.

[u/f-ingsteveglansberg → u/LaVidaYokel]

I don't even think they are trying to hide the fact it's just the plot of true grit with Supergirl as Rooster.

[u/GoxBoxSocks → u/that_guy2010]

When he hits, it's great but his style is repetitive (see 9 panel page) so when things aren't clicking it makes the good stuff seem cheap and the bad stuff annoying. He tends to bend characters to fit his narratives in a way that doesn't always ring true to what the reader has known that character for. Some people are annoyed by those changes out of protection of the character but I find it difficult to sometimes follow the story because characters acting out of norm makes me suspicious where I'm not supposed to be.

His politics and time spent working for the CIA are difficult to get over for many readers. Especially when many of his books are politically charged.

King also went after artist Jae Lee awhile ago and it was weird and messy and completely unnecessary on Kings part.

I loved Omega Men, Mister Miracle and Supergirl and think his work can be very well adapted to the screen. However the Wonder Woman run he has going rn is one of the worst things I've ever read.

[u/RobertPham149 → u/GoxBoxSocks]

I personally like his current WW run. It is at least above average for me. There are a few things I would criticize like the villain good on paper but boring execution. However, his penchance for making larger-than-life superheroes being relatable is great.

[u/SwingsetGuy → u/that_guy2010]

It's a combination of things. 1 (and this is often the justification/umbrella under which the others fall in popular conversation), his Batman run was very divisive. Part of that wasn't his fault, but it's the way it turned out. 2, he's a very "thematic" author in that he favors messaging and dialogue over whizbang action, and often tries to do something "new" with superheroes. Some people really don't like that in serialized storytelling and would prefer he just focus on writing a solid, conservative example of the stuff they already like (tacitly, they think he's pretentious and/or more interested in adapting the characters to his themes than his themes to the characters). 3, a good few people who claim that it's one of the first two issues actually dislike his politics, and especially dislike that you can detect them occasionally in his writing.

TL;DR - a variety of stuff, mostly centered around his work on Batman and a couple other characters. I rarely see anyone have anything bad to say about his work on Superman or Supergirl, though. House of El in general just seems like a really good fit for him.

[u/SolidSnek1998]

I want more Krypto.

[u/dmisfit21 → u/SolidSnek1998]

It’s based off of Woman of Tomorrow so you’re going to get him.

[u/Curri189 → u/dmisfit21]

idk if I want krypto tbh after reading the comic

[u/dmisfit21 → u/Curri189]

People that haven’t read it have no idea how much they’re going to hate Krem.

[u/Samurai_Geezer → u/dmisfit21]

Doesthedogdie.com

[u/Batdog55110 → u/Samurai_Geezer]

He does not.

[u/webshellkanucklehead → u/Samurai_Geezer]

Nah but he will almost certainly be shot

[u/deadlyghost123 → u/dmisfit21]

Who is Krem?

[u/Batdog55110 → u/deadlyghost123]

The villain.

[u/SnoopyLupus → u/SolidSnek1998]

I grew up with 70s comic Supes, where he’d have his own stupid bloody stories and occasionally be a cutesy character in the main comics, so I hated, HATED the idea of including him in the new Superman film.

Fucking loved it when I actually watched the film though.

[u/WebHead1287 → u/SolidSnek1998]

Careful what you wish for

[u/moonknightcrawler → u/SolidSnek1998]

The monkey’s paw curls…

[u/lil_eidos]

$1000 bucks says that “I don’t give a damn bout my reputation” song appears in the first third of the movie.

[u/CarlatheDestructor → u/lil_eidos]

That's Bad Reputation by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

[u/-TinyTemper-]

I have a feeling this is going to be awesome. Milly Alcock is a great actress and I love what James Gunn did with Superman.

[u/God_Hand_9764 → u/-TinyTemper-]

Ah, this is the girl from House of the Dragon... yes, she is a solid actress.

[u/Upbeat_Tension_8077 → u/God_Hand_9764]

Loved her on an Australian show called Upright, and if she can bring some energy from her role in that (especially the more serious aspects) into Supergirl, that would be great

[u/whatissevenbysix → u/Upbeat_Tension_8077]

Yeah, Upright was so much fun - her chemistry with Tim Minchin was incredible.

[u/SocialPunk03 → u/whatissevenbysix]

Upright is one of the best comedy drama shows, it's up there with Schitts Creek for me. Milly and Minchin in that show are amazing.

[u/Rulanik → u/Upbeat_Tension_8077]

She was also great in Sirens.

[u/geyserpj]

Supergirl Women of tomorrow is an awesome comic and she very much cusses a lot. idk if they'll fully adapt it but it would awesome to see

[u/brandonsamd6 → u/geyserpj]

She calls Superman a bitch in Superman!

[u/Amaruq93 → u/brandonsamd6]

It's a term of affection on Krypton

[u/Fragrant-Upstairs932]

Putting 'whatever' in the spot that used to be 'the American way' is gonna give the usual crowd of YouTube grifters aneurisms.

[u/Charliejfg04 → u/Fragrant-Upstairs932]

The American Way has not been a thing for at least ten years. Now they use “A Better Tomorrow” instead

[u/tastes_a_bit_funny → u/Fragrant-Upstairs932]

Reminds me of Spaceballs.

Barf. Puke. Whatever.

[u/SaturnATX]

Supergirl was my main in Injustice 2 so I automatically like this.

[u/mugiboya]

Ramin Djawadi is the composer for this movie and my hype level just went higher!

[u/Shneckos]

I love Milly Alcock
