Snapshot of trending articles on pReddit right now regarding Ezra Miller again [for the third time] assaulting a woman, this time as recently as a month after the last.
The main talking points in the thread, those which aren't yet locked that is, are:
"Remember to use the correct pronouns. Miller is they/them"
"This behaviour is uniquely male rage"
So it's almost, aaalmost at the point of awareness that pronoun roulette is bullshit but the pRedditor mods are still enforcing newspeak upon anyone who dares try and point out the Emperor not only has no clothes but is actively running around hitting women with chairs in public.
Going to make a subsequent post to this one that's a bit of a rant regarding this and DC'd flailing attempts to make movies.
While Miller's behaviour/speedrun to oblivion is ongoing DC is probably on Suicide
Squadwatch since their upcoming Flashpoint movie is meant to soft reset the DCCU, replacing both Batfleck and maybe Chinman [Cavill] but retaining the rest of the cast, including Amber Heard possibly because that's so much of a good idea...That said the DCCU never really got going in the first place as it fucked about with it's ensemble pieces too soon before establishing anything, in part because the Nolan Dark Knight trilogy was still ongoing when Marvel was setting up shop and by the time DC tried to jump on that gravy train Marvel was already post Avengers and laughing all the way to
Endgamethe bank.Yes, *that *JMS of Babylon 5 fame who writes with a plan rather than in the moment.
So MoS is a bad telling of S:E1, a comic written by JMS.
TDKR is set years after most JL stuff happens with a 55 year old Bruce Wayne eventually coming into direct conflict with Superman for the series finale. The whole thing only works because the two have decades of interpersonal history and decades of comics/material that fans have consumed so they understand the gravitas of the story.
Yet DC go straight for that story with their second outing because of the big names involved and then pivot into Death of Superman by bringing in "Doomsday" which was a shitty mutated Zod and killing Superman 2 movies into their franchise.
Marvel's Civil War comic event was similar to TDKR a [huge] conflict amongst the long established superhero community but the actual movie version only really had a dozen characters in the end facing off against each other. The Flash tv show did the Flashpoint event at the end of s2/start of s3 which is again far, far too early for something that is meant to show you an alternative timeline of events and highlight just how different the characters the fans know are. Those changes are the very thing that make the story interesting and 2 years of Flash, plus 3/5 or so years of Arrow, was never going to be enough for those changes to be significant enough and moreso when they get [mostly] fixed within the same episode and return things to [almost] the status quo.
AoA is even almost the exact same cast as what SS ended up with. Batman and Joker are both ere. The Squad lineup is almost identical. The only "big name" missing would be The Riddler and even then he's still below both Batman and Joker in terms of prestige.
Again however one of the biggest problems JL faced was far too little established material before jumping to a big ensemble piece. Avengers had 2 Iron Man movies, 1 Captain America movie, 1 Thor movie, and 1 Hulk movie that many probably forget about [the one with Edward Norton]. So 4/5 ish movies to set the cast as well as bring in others such as Black Widow in Iron Man 2, Hawkeye in Thor, the plot device/Tesseract in Captain American, and the villain, Loki, in Thor. JL only ends up working because the Snyder Cut needed 3/4 hours to fill in the backstory DC should have already put out in the first place.
Amongst this clusterfuck are the various firings and hiring, and re-hirings, that have gone on due to arguable less insane behaviour.
The Flash tv show fired actors/characters [Elongated Man] who didn't have acceptable political [Left] leanings.
James Gunn was fired, and then re-hired after cast protests, due to comments he made yeeears before any of the Marvel movies were made.
Marvel replaced both Edward Norton as The Hulk and Terrence Howard as Rhodey/Warmachine, hiring Mark Rufalo and Don Cheadle in their respective places.
Yet DC is so completely fucked by their own mishandlings that they need Ezra despite these repeated
beatings"fuckups" and more and more normies are waking up and discussing the points regarding how Ezra claiming to be non-binary is being used as abike locktool to shut down criticism aimed at Ezra specifically criticisms aimed at woke mentality in general regarding pronoun use and how they are faulty syllogisms.Groomer comments. A lot of them.
