You only target Journalists when your enemy is the truth

Find me a modern journalist that goes anywhere near the truth first, dipshit.

Retired U.S. Navy Admiral, and former Navy SEAL, William McRaven destroyed Trump in just a few words

/uses more words than the meme itself

Also lol at the hilarious assumption by the "progressive side" the trans soldier must be pre-op. They just can't help making presumptions about absolutely everyone even when it runs counter to their own baseline operating.

It's an obvious rip off of actual events, so no, they're still as creative as a rock thrown into a chemical waste site. Stuff might grow on them, but it's always going to be toxic.

He who lives by the sword, gets shot by he who doesn't.

Same applies with skin dancers using lightsabers.

Someone get an AI to do 'Two Minutes to Midnight' by Iron Maiden but with Netenyahu singing about Iran.

Kill for gain or shoot to maim

But we don't need a reason

The Golden Goose is on the loose

And never out of season

Blackened pride still burns inside

This shell of bloody treason

Here's my gun for a barrel of fun

For the love of living death

[Pre-Chorus]

The killer's breed or the demon's seed

The glamour, the fortune, the pain

Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain

Don't you pray for my soul anymore

[Chorus]

Two minutes to midnight

The hands that threaten doom

Two minutes to midnight

To kill the unborn in the womb

Mister Miracle, which Warner said will tell the “odyssey” of main character Scott Free aka Mister Miracle, is based on the critically acclaimed and Eisner Award-winning 12-issue comic book series.

Aw, fuck no. Not only has that series done long lasting damage to the comic industry by causing multiple other releases to copy the stupid 9 panel layout, like Heroes in Crisis which was shit for other reasons in addition tot he layout, but also the ending sucked.

Parasite could also be cool for a sequel

That's how Parasite often gets used, after any initial outing that gets to set the stage and have Superman fight off some problem just to let the world know how powerful he is.

At that point you have various groups trying to replicate him, imprison him, blackmail him, fight him, or steal his powers.

The above list more or less means villains such as Cyborg Superman, The Preserver, Lex, Mongul, and Parasite respectively.

Most only work as second or fourth film villains, or even the setup pieces, after establishing what Superman can do.

Livewire was a hilarious disaster in the animated cartoon where an angry young woman gained superpowers and immediately started trying to kill people. Imp couldn't write a more deranged character if he tried. Any live action adaptation would suffer hard from having to avoid being too accurate to the cartoon version simply so it doesn't get torn to shreds for how awful the character is as a person, even before going full homicidal maniac after getting powers.

Toyman would only work if existing knowledge of Superman's powers was in place, otherwise Superman would just look through the entire city and find Toyman in under a minute.

Silver Banshee is a very, very boring superpowered character that would only serve as a minion or setup piece of something worse.

Master Jailer would trap Superman all of once then get overpowered because again he doesn't know anywhere near enough to stop someone as powerful as Superman without knowing what he can do. The most likely scenario would be trapping Superman as if it was anyone else, expecting that to work, finding out it doesn't, and then being taken out at superspeed before getting a chance to try again.

Hobby Robber: As you mention it would be a minor threat, and again requires Superman to already be established to even have a hobby collection in the first place to steal from.

Blue Matt: Invisibility doesn't stop Kryptonians.

Cyborg Superman generally only pops up after Doomsdays and any Death of Superman story, so still needs Superman established. Same with Metallo, having a character based someone, or designed to counter that someone, only works when said someone has existed for long enough for it to matter.

Ultra-Humanite isn't one I can see happening if anything Flash related ever comes about, he's too similar to Grodd.

5th dimensional Imp also only works when Superman is already established, and most likely as a 4th film comedy piece after any initial origin story film 1, gritty moral dilemma film 2, and then final waltz big fight film 3.

Edit: If Suicide Squad 2: Shitty Boogaloo hadn't used Starro I would have suggested that since it's not actually a problem you can punch most of the time since that would kill the hosts.

Known problem, right? Because otherwise why was someone recording?

How many decades has Superman existed.

Almost a full century now, first publishing was 1938.

Ignoring the non movie media that have actually tried to line up other villains than Lex, the only other options have been

Steppenwolf, "Doomsday", Batman, Zod, Nuclear Man, Tay a supercomputer, and Zod again.

They've never bothered with any other options despite the sheer volume of source material out there of not only other main threats for Superman to face down the line, but also ones that have served as initial threats so other names can come in later.

Man of Steel killing Zod in the same film was a waste of the character, even more so when the nearest comic source to it didn't bring Zod in until the third part of the series. It was some random alien(s) responsible for the destruction of Krypton first, then Parasite, and then finally Zod.

There's also Brainiac, Mongul although that name may not fly these days, Solomon Grundy, and ofc Bizarro. All of which can serve as purely physical challenges in the case of the latter 4, and a more complex challenge for Brainiac depending on how it's designed for a particular adaptation. 3 of those are even repeatable villains since Brainiac can be rebuilt, Grundy is a magically powered zombie, and Bizarro just needs recloned. So they wouldn't even be wasted were they first time shows only to be quickly popped by the end of the film.

Then if done properly DC could actually try building up to a threat rather than blowing everything too fast because Marvel got ahead of them ages ago and DC has been playing catch-up ever since while also fighting its own inherent retardedness since the execs clearly have zero fucking clue about the stories.

Darkseid is one of the more final villains for Superman, so Justice League at least did something ok with using Steppenwolf instead initially although the movie was a mess for so many other reasons.

Luthor is too consistent a villain for Superman from the comics so he's not ideal to only use once no matter how unrealistic at times it comes across he gets out of jail for some of the things he tries. Superman Returns at least did this well by pointing out the fact Superman being off-world meant he couldn't testify against Luthor so the trial falls apart due to technicalities even though it's probably assumed by most he tried to nuke California back in the first Reeves movie.

But as the constant reboots show DC just can't pull off a wider movie franchise/universe because the films they shit out are a mess of execs and other idiots fucking around with things known to work for reasons stemming from ego, THE MESSAGE, other idiotic SocJus, and simple stupidity from many that flat out aren't capable of actually producing a good quality product.

I don't know what OP is getting at with his title either.

Intentional vagueness so forum sliding is more effective. Look at the other posts made, including titles, and you'll see the pattern emerge.

Given the track record for this sort of thing in a month or so it will come out he's assaulted women and will get canned just like Kangz was in the MCU.

Maybe he's going to go full retarded and claim 1066 was immigration, even though it's commonly referred to as the Norman Invasion of 1066.

Old games meant the price covered everything you ever got, so the products needed to be far more robust than the complete shitshows many companies throw out now. Paradox released a new DLC about a month ago and so far are up to patch 17 of the new update fixing things and there's still so much shit that either doesn't work properly because it's broken, or simply hasn't been updated to work with the new 4.0 revamp of the game. There are multiple threads on the PDX forum and Reddit sub about these things and all it does it paint a picture of an extremely substandard product shipped way too fucking early yet still full priced.

Luckily for many the new DLCs get cracked fast so at least they don't have to pay for their whole game to repeatedly break over the first few weeks and months of a new update.

Meant to mention that, didn't they kill old.reddit and other things? I'm sure I saw a thread about it here some time ago.
