It's alright, I suppose. I can see myself buying a BatPat, but my main interest in the whole thing is Pattinson himself.
After seeing the Suicide Squad game trailer, I?m really hating the race swap on Gordon here. Deadshot wasn?t black before Will Smith so there wasn?t any reason to make him black in that game - especially after they established him as a White guy in the previous Arkham games.
Yeah, that was a weird thing. Personally, I hate that he's become just anotehr "muh daughter" type of "anti-hero". The Lawton I know was a self-destructive and suicidal depressive. Now he's just an "aaawwww schucks" type updated for the modern anti-hero age, while also being a discount Will Smith.
I fear Gordon?s casting in this will do the same to Gordon.
I don't know about that. The white hait/bushy mustache combo is iconic, as is Barbara as a redhead. They'd be out of their minds to blackwash them in the main continuity.
I haven?t seen a white Nick Fury in anything since the MCU started. There?s whole generations of kids that have no idea Fury looked like an unshaven Reed Richards in an eyepatch before the Ultimates comics and MCU.
Don't even remind me about Nick Fury. He used to be one of my favourites. Strange Tales, Steranko's run, then Hickman's Secret Warriors, the OGNs with Widow and Punisher; all right up my alley. But no, now we have to deal with SLJ Fury. And SLJ is one of those actors I actively loathe. "Look at me, I say mother****er a lot mother****er mother****er mother****er". It gets old quickly. The best acting from him I've seen was in that HBO Film with Tomy Lee Jones, but that wasn't enough. They blackwashed him specifically because Millar wanted SLJ's likeness for Ultimates, and the rest is history. Ultimate Fury wasn't even as interesting as actual Fury.
If they had at least gotten someone like Denzel, or Hell, even Will Smith, someone with natural charisma, it'd have been fine for a one-off. I can see Denzel pulling off Fury. But the problem is that now the actual Fury is literally chained on the moon while his super secret mixed race son, who looks 100% black, is running around like SLJ/1610 Fury, and everyone pretends they've got history with him as if he's actual Fury. The whole thing's ********. Hell, there was a literal one shot where he travels back in time to stop Neo-Nazis from murdering kid Obama!
What hurts the most is that we could've gotten Clooney as Fury, but he read Ennis' stuff instead of the 616 stories and noped the Hell out of the project.
I?m fine with them changing things here and there as one offs, but I hate it when these changes become the new status quo and they forgot about the original looks.
Exactly. I don't have to like an AU, but I can ignore it. All these changes to the main continuities are just...
Honestly, I'm tired. I don't keep up with them anymore. I don't much care. If anything I lament the time spent on such nonsense. Now I buy a figure if it looks cool and it's a character I like, but I'm tired with "pop culture" in all of its aspects.
