Nice try Cheat.

I'm trying to think of who would've made a better Lex Luthor.

I think Mark Strong looks the part.

Actually, no, I'm just now reading that the Lex in this movie is actually supposed to be Lex Luthor's son. Huh.

Um, why? Why not just go with the original guy himself? Why go with his geeky-ass son?

No, in the canon his notable aliases are Lex Luthor Jr. but some stories change his father's name.

This is a common misconception that people have when they see the film and hear that his father built the company and was named Lex, but this, like the hair, is another example of Snyder nailing something from the comics.

Although the current canon has Lex building the company, this has not always been the case.

It's pretty obviously Wonder Woman, though. You have to give your audience a reason to give a shit about your character first before you explain who they are. The reason people like origin stories so much is because we already know what the character does, so we want to know more about them based on that. Expository information right out the gate is boring, and nobody wants that. Show me why I should care about this character first.

Wonder Woman could've used more screen-time, sure, but I think she was handled well overall.

Honestly I know nothing about Wonder Woman other than that she's an Amazon.

I think she really needed less screen time.

They should've revealed she was Wonder Woman and then brought her back at the end of the film to have her conversation with Batman.

If she hadn't been in the fight at all we wouldn't just be dealing with an underdeveloped character, we would have more of a setup for a character who is going to be expanded upon, just like every other member of the Justice League was in the film.

In fact, the battle with Doomsday probably would have been much more meaningful that way, if he just showed up during Batman and Superman's fight because. Lex had made a plan to unleash him separately from the conflict between the two heroes, and none of the shit with Martha ever happened.

So Doomsday shows up and they realize they have a responsibility to protect the world together, put their differences aside, and Batman is actually helpful because of his power armor.

Lex Luthor is blamed for Doomsday (because obviously it came from the Kryptonian ship) but he uses his great PR to brush it off as an accident and makes the claim that the beast slumbered there all along, and at the end goes free, allowing him to continue scheming and perhaps play a role in future stories.

The very very bottom. As in, he's the least cool user on this website. As in, he's not cool at all.

Roach was never cool, and nobody thought he was before he was a gimmick poster.

I was listening to Spotify when I song I know well, Ten, by Yellowcard came on.

For some reason, it clicked with me tonight that the song is about his child (I imagine daughter) who was never born, where before I had only heard nostalgic lyrics and a catchy melody, I found something much deeper.

That may or may not be what the song is actually about, but this is what hit me.

Then the upbeat chorus came back on and I tried to sing along, but found myself breaking up, tearing up, and within moments, sobbing as I walked down the street.

It's so beautiful that someone could love a child who never existed so much, and so unfair that so many children who are born never really know love at all.

At this point I had to stop in an alley to get myself together, much of this comprised of sitting on the ground holding my knees and rocking back and forth.

I stepped out of the alley to view the world in disgust. My disgust was brief, as it quickly turned into self pity.

The tears came and went for the remainder of my walk home, accompanied by grasps for answers from an absent father and a drunkard mother (even worse when my father stopped being absent and my mother started I learned my father was a drunk too), and thoughts of suicide.

About a three blocks from home I stood in the middle of the road as a car careened down the street, barreling toward me to end my miserable life, when I pussied out, not because I couldn't bring myself to it, but because I thought that was a very selfish way to go. Somebody else would have to live with that forever.

With each passing day these breakdowns are coming more frequently and more intensely, and I'm afraid I'll need to seek help soon.

I've been off of my meds since Christmas (I promised the Navy I wouldn't pursue any further psychological help and I didn't need my meds, but then some kinks have waylaid the shit out of my enrollment, perhaps even suspended it indefinitely) and I don't think I can do it anymore.

What should I do?

Let me rephrase that.

Oh god, somebody please help me.

They ended up not being cute at all.

Forget that, I'll just buy what  I want off amazon.

I want a new pair of thigh high socks, I can't find my pink ones.

I'd really like a pair of baby blue ones with white polka dots, but I can't bring myself to peruse the lady's delicate section, even at 4:00 AM when nobody ought to be looking.

wat do

That's the point of Superman.

The conflicts that can challenge such an awesome power must be so much more than colossal, they must be cleverly crafted and plotted to highlight the mortality in a very much immortal figure.

Challenges Superman faces have to be more than physical, they must be intellectual, moral, and existential.

In JL: Unlimited, there is an episode called 'For the man who has everything'

Superman has been trapped in an illusion dream state where his heart's truest desire has cone true.

He lives as a simple farmer in Krypton, and has a family, and son, Van El.

He remembers every day of his life there, clearly and vividly.

In the real world, Mongul is attacking Wonder Woman and Batman and is poised to destroy the planet in Superman's absence, and Batman continues to cry out to Clark to fight it, snap out of it.

He hears these cries, and feels the tremors of the battle, manifested as earthquakes on Krypton.

He tells Van El he loves him, and that he is everything he ever wanted in a son, and that the day he was born was the happiest of his life, but he has to go and be Superman, because he has responsibilities.

This is the kind of conflict that faces Superman.

Would you be able to sacrifice your only son to save the world?

Yes, Superman is absolutely god, in every aspect, but the conflicts god faces are more important and meaningful than any struggle that Batman faces.

The rest of you are just kinda lame.

And of course they render the latest extension that allows Custom Avatars/Nameplates broken.

Are you fucking kidding me?

I just finished an updated dark script that hinged on this feature last month.

Oh well, can we go home sometime soon?

Have you been thinking lewd thoughts.

Shut up Sol.

I sense a boner.

You just found this out about yourself?

Wake up man what planet are you on?

I just realized it because in May I will be getting another degree just for the hopes of getting laid. I don't know what job I'm going to do for the rest of my life. Everything is just too much pressure and I wish I could go away. I mean like leave where I am and travel and not worry about anything.

Get a doctorate in anatomy man.

Get real familiar with the human body.

Which parts squish, which parts squeeze, which parts ooze, and which parts are sticky.

Then pick a mark in a bar cut off her head and go to fucking town.

Nobody will suspect anything.
