Hey Guys,
I don’t know how DC hasn’t made Bruce Timm their Kevin Feige yet. He already oversaw a combined universe for them and did it to massive success. Kriss has made the point before that DC has gods more than human characters, but that’s what the cartoons got that the movies haven’t. No we’re probably not going to care about about Clark Kent, but you can get us to actually just care about Superman. Think about that Justice League cartoon, we didn’t even see Hawkgirl without her mask until what season 3? Embrace the fact that you have these larger than life figures and use that, but DC wants to be the most fence-sittingest company of all-time and halfway copy Marvel while doing their own murderverse.
And after that Sony Venom news, just give up and give it back to Marvel. I just have a fantasy in my head of them doing Carnage on Netflix with the level of brutality that can provide. I know it won’t happen, but that’s nowhere near as stupid as a Venom movie in a separate universe from Spider-Man. But shout out to Marvel for snatching creative control on Homecoming.
Great show as always. And damn y’all catching me off-guard throwing up another new ep so soon! Black Panther getting everybody in Formation. Fuck a Team Iron Man, I’m Team T’Challa!
P.S. Gotta stop Kriss from announcing these comixology sales. Ended up with 20 new purchases. That Vader Down is a MONSTER!
