I'm not a comic book historian so take this with a grain of salt.
Yes he writes articles on himself, in this issue the new reporter hired to cover superman asked Clark if he can reach Superman since he covered him for so many years and Clark says Superman doesn't comment.
Lots of issues use Clark's articles as framing device for the issue.
Superman in World's Finest (old school Batman Superman comics) was captured by a fictional country Lubania. in 2022ish they retconned it where they implied he was sodomized during torture sessions .
I didn't read the disgusting comic but there was a post about it here during that time and the plot as far as I could tell is Clark going to Lubania to interview some general and the general was one of his (Superman's) captors. And there is a sequence of panels that shows during the interview Clark raises his glasses and laser blast the general in a fit of rage only to show Clark imagined it and remained composed AND OBJECTIVE to a man who fucking raped his bootycheeks.
It goes both ways, woke writers are trash tier.
I'll admit when it comes to capitalizing color of race 50 percent of the time I do it just due to idgaf when typing, it's tricky because I always capitalize race based on origin, I only pay attention if I'm deliberately making a point not capitalizing it knowing it'll rustle jimmies.
honestly? It's pretty shit. There's action and the art's okay, I honestly feel like DC from the comics I read is trying the reel in some of the really really bad woke stuff.
This issue an oppressed and enslaved race(s) visits earth with their captors, of course the aliens have their illogical way of galactic domination where they challenge a champion of the planet if the champion wins they free the slaves and spare the planet if the alien oppressors enslave the planet. The slave asks superman to be their champion. Superman chews on a rifle to show he's a street tough, they has fight, Superman wins alien vaguely hints they might be reneging on the terms of the challenge. Oh, Black people were attacked while playing basketball and most affected by the initial alien attack. Pretty sure the enslaving aliens are allegory for the their twisted version of the right with a spin where instead of aliens coming to them, they go to the aliens.
Wew, having said that, I read some Batman, Action Comics, and Catwoman and they're all about on par with late 2000s early 2010s quality comics, which is like early 2000s but with forced diversity and visible quota of woke agenda checklist that leaves a taint on the comics.
I wouldn't spend money on it, I'd read the TPB for free at libraries or from a friend who still buys.
My LCS closed 2020, but it was already on its way out, the other LCS is now a LGS/merch store with a rack of comics and boxes of old comics that they raised the price on.
I regret not buying 80s and 90s comics for a dime or quarter a pop when I had the chance.
Oh btw I am a stupid fucker and pasted the wrong link, I archived it and then pasted the actual article.
and while I'm at it, I didn't like my title for this post. It's early in the morning, and I know what's wrong with these people. They're liberal, and they're retarded. They're what we in the industry call liberal retards. Or just Liberals.
lol yeah that's my reaction too, a comic book bringing up ethics in journalism. until I thought about it for a moment and was like Superman is literally a walking god who can do more or less whatever he wants but choses to use his powers for good and live amongst humanity.
That's like Lex worrying about how Superman would spend a million dollars while Lois is worrying about how Clark would spend a fraction of a penny.
I'm not going into the context of the story but TLDR: Lois Lane says as EiC she can't let Clark write Superman stories due to conflict of interest.
Hire redhead intern on full time to cover Superman. Which is more or less the reason for the plot.
-
Lois is telling Superman, a being with the power to destroy planets and enslave humanity that she can't trust him to be objective on news articles about himself.
-
Lois is the EiC, and she is married to superman. Wouldn't that mean she too is violating her own journalistic ethics by allowing any coverage of her husband without at the minimum a public disclosure of the conflict of interest.
It's just a comic book but I had a little chuckle when I saw the article on my feed. Just shoddy writing and logic.
oof, I don't remember most of that. I wasn't going to go back and watch it but man, pre-gamergate me just didn't pay attention to that kind of stuff.
I do remember the man guy killing his left-hand man and the ship crashed and they're marooned at the end of the season and I didn't really care about what happened next and never bothered with the second season.
I think there's a decent amount of western films and shows being made. I'm not in the industry but I imagine as far as budget goes it's pretty cheap to make a western, remote settings, limited cast, little to no special effects, budget friendly armorer, very cost friendly to churn out by comparison to other genres.
Pirate and nautical has way more production cost and logistics. Again, I'm channeling my inner Cliff Clavin, but I think Pirates of the Caribbeans, like Marvel hero flicks, CoD, and Walking Dead, is so big and mainstream those trying to get in on the fad end up losing their asses because people in general don't care about genre, they just want something good with mainstream appeal.
What the fuck do I know, my media consumption consist mostly of 80s to early 2000s sitcoms. Oh, recently binged Love Boat, DO NOT binge the Love Boat! it has the same string background music and you end up getting the tetris effect. Other than that, what an easy turn off your brain, have it on in the background while you play work type of show.
I only watched season one of Black Sails and thought it was pretty gritty depiction of pirates. I can't fully recommend it since I watched it in 2014 and I honestly don't know how woke it is, I do recall watching the entire first season so it can't be that bad. I would recommend you watch the first episode and see if it's your pace.
And not pirate themed but Master and Commander is just a great movie.
Honestly, I was surprised no one popped off last night, years past doesn't matter what day the 4th fell on, come midnight someone is shooting fireworks. Last year it was friday to tuesday with iirc a night off due to rain.
This year, not just my street, it was quiet in the entire area all week.
It's baffling, during the start of the season, I literally said irl that I'm glad the WNBA is getting eyeballs on it and proving that it wasn't bigoted, "misogynistic", male sports fans that were keeping the WNBA down. It was them not having a product people were willing to tune into. Clark changed that, and while I won't be watching, I'm not sad or mad that they're doing well.
Since then it seems as if they're actively trying to fuck it up and act like the bitches I knew they were.
Women.
She only agrees with you because sweet saudi money paid her more.
Doesn't mean she's wrong, but she should be subjected to the same treatment as rational people who speaks up and getting called out as antisemitic and a nazi. They made up the bullshit rules, they should live by it.
I didn't see the movie so when I read the translation "Can this war of yours finally be done?" I thought that's actually on brand with women nowadays.
But given the context that she is somewhat understanding I get why people think the translation sucked.
I don't wanna get on their discord but I would post heterosexual stock image like a woman in the kitchen cooking while a man wraps his arms around her from behind. Or a couple at a sporting event. Just, you know, posting and celebrating my sexuality.
Dude was thin up top, shorty might was well have fucked his mother for exposing him like that.
Everyone sucks in this video.
Also fake.
And taking a hat from a guy and wearing it like that is totally something a girl do to get a guy's attention. Even his cock hungry eyes while getting chastised by his mancrush was gay af. And his "damn actually" post slap, just ask if he'll let you suck his dick off camera, he might as long as he gets to keep his hat on.
On one hand I can't take allegation of rape on face value. I read the wiki and there isn't a lot of detail.
Why were they at the village? PFC, PFC and a PVT going to a village by themselves sound less like a detail and more like they were off post on their personal time. Not in a squad, no NCO, without weapons. Repeated visits suggest they aren't there to hand out chocolate bars (ahem). So yeah sounds like they were up to no good.
I did find it humorous they called the cave Kuronbō Gama (黒ん坊がま), cave of the black boys, instead of Kuroi Yūrei Gama (黒い幽霊がま), cave of the black ghosts, which just talking out of my ass, I assume they don't want the cave to be haunted by black ghost.
I'm a Costco guy of course I cap on nationalities. I'm taking about ethnic descriptors like Asian, Hispanic, Jews, Gypsies, etc. I suppose I should be clearer.
Since we're good friends you can go into my profile and go to page 2 and EDIT: page 4 and 5 of my comment section and ctrl-f "black" and see no caps. I'm telling you this not as purity test thing, I just want to show that I really just put hand on keyboard and start clacking.
I wanted to be brief so I'll end with this: If I know not capitalizing will trigger I would be more conscious about not doing it. Another goodie is writing President Trump in a thread or conversation when everyone else uses Trump. When asked I correct everyone that once a President always a President. HoF moment was not two post later I just said Biden without honorifics, oh I wish I could've bottled that feeling from the replies.
