Justice League Lounge of Justice - Part 81

[Chip Chipperson]

The suit is on point

I still think he’ll end up without all that clown stuff on his face and just the lipstick and white makeup

Still looks pretty great to me though

 

[Polux]

The saga continues...

 

[MbJ]

Why is this fanbase so embarrassing.

 

[StarLord]

The Heath vibes are strong with this one.

 

[Polux]

Why is this fanbase so embarrassing.

You mean like any fanbase, full of both positive and negative elements....??

Anyways, I'm pretty sure Joker is gonna piss off lots of people, particularly those expecting "fidelity to the canon".

They're doing their own thing with this bad boy.

 

[MbJ]

You mean like any fanbase, full of both positive and negative elements....??

Sure. Every fanbase has those elements. That doesn't mean it's not a really prominent trait here.

 

[KalvinEllis]

He's 0k. There isn't much to his character (he's basically a generic cult member doing his leader's bidding and running errands) but that's also my general take on every single cast member.

Ah so that's why BN compared him to me. That's what he thinks of me I guess. lol

 

[MbJ]

All the shout-outs to various Batman creators on here are so great.

I see Steve Englehart, Jim Starlin, Scott Snyder, Bob Kane and Sheldon Moldoff.

And oh my god! Otisburg!

 

[Polux]

Sure. Every fanbase has those elements. That doesn't mean it's not a really prominent trait here.

DCEU fans are vilified by MCU fans, MCU fans are vilified by DCEU fans, 'round and 'round, rinse and repeat, and everytime is "yeah, but they are worse".

I think that about covers it for me, nothing more to add to that particular subject.

 

[MbJ]

I've really got no corporate horse in this race. I find this sort of stuff ridiculous regardless of who does it. I thought it was just as embarrassing when people were outraged over Valkyrie being played by a black woman in Thor: Ragnarok last year.

Nutjobs like Randolph don't help matters either. Those bull**** videos are made to stir fanbases up.

Well....people are sad.

And Otisburg

IF there is a season 2 of Maniac, I hope they go the anthology route.

Different creative team, different characters, stories, etc, but same thematic elements.

[Black Narcissus]

Maniac

I was expecting something more bizarre than even Legion or at least something on par visually speaking. This kinda reminded me of that Terry Gilliam movie 'The Zero Theorem'. I felt like I was letdown by my own expectations of this, still good tho, but it took a while to get there for me.

Justin Theroux and Sonoya Mizuno were the MVPs for me, they had fantastic chemistry. Emma Stone and Jonah Hill didn't really click for me till the last three episodes. The first 4-5 episodes were kinda a chore and bore to get through, but the last bunch of episodes is like redbull. Over all solid 8 rating for me.

Last shot was definitely a reference to The Graduate.

 

[MbJ]

Okay, how did I miss "Prince Street" on that chart?

 

[StarLord]

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a Prince song in there somewhere.

 

[Superherofan123]

I know this won’t happen, but it would be crazy if Phoenix’s Joker is and alcoholic, and “one night, he goes off crazier than usual.”

 

[Polux]

As a somehow kinda related thing, I find it funny and cool how many pron stars are big comic book fans that get actively engaged in these convos and debates.

Had you told me that 10 years ago, I wouldn't have believed it.

I watched Wonder Woman with a pron star friend. lol

I think there's gonna be something like that, like, some scene or aspect that - while not intended to be connected - due to the aesthetic similarities with Ledger's Joker is gonna lead to countless fan-theories of how both incarnations are connected/related.

It's inevitable, really.

 

[Polux]

I watched Wonder Woman with a pron star friend. lol

You have cool friends, I'll hit you up when I swing by LA...



...without the missus.

Not in LA any more, closer to the Bay. I still often make the drive tho, so let me know when you roll through.

Billy Magnussen

Going back to MANIAC. This dude is a good actor. I first saw him in Game Night.

He would make an awesome Riddler.

You should watch Ingrid Goes West. He's in that too.
