Jman Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 Quote It's Thanksgiving, and Clark, Lois, and Jimmy are heading to the Kent farm to celebrate - but the holiday turns into a fight for survival as Task Force X, family, and KRYPTONITE collide! Well, we're here for the season finale of the most controversial portrayal of the Man of Steel since Zack Snyder put Henry Cavill in his live-action adaptation of Birdy The Mighty Decode. (Snyder has admitted this). What cliffhanger will half of the 20 episode order leave us with? 1 1
rpgamer Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 Ah, it wasn't that bad of a Superman story, a bit of a reimagining, alternate Earth deal, if you're willing to cut it some slack. Not every iteration needs to be 100% faithful to the source material, or else there's no point in new iterations. Passable...ish finale. Knew something was up when it wasn't over after the big climax last episode. This puts it in a position of "eh, things are sorta mostly tied whether or not we get to continue." The liberties taken will probably very much not sit well with previously mentioned crowd that needs faithful. And I can't argue against it too strongly. That was... a different take. Credits listed a Brainiac. And it took me a couple minutes to realize... of fucking course. The three connected dots, that's always been Brainiac's signature. Feels like an ok way of setting him up at least. Despite previous assertions.. admittedly not myself a fan of making The General a Lane. Definitely a stretch of a change just for a played out trope. Further, just bizarre that Waller/nobody responded to calls for backup, or in general never kept eyes on what was going on.. that aspect of the story fell a bit flat for me.
ben0119 Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 Episode 10 is already the season finale? I hoped the season was longer than that. Cool we get Superman but no Dr. Stone tonight? Booo. 1

ben0119 Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 That hologram really needs a translator lol. 1

I figured it would be longer than that. It's not a live action cinematic series with a massive budget. 1
ben0119 Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 You're terrible interns, so the only thing to do was to make you reporters. 🤣 1 1
ben0119 Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 Hah. Coincidence I'm sure, but that background character looked like Nightwing. I don't think Dick Grayson ever wore glasses either.

The season took a break, second cour of Season 3 starts October 12th, so we'll have to wait until the dub resumes presumably too. https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/latest/2023/8/26/dr-stone-new-world-anime-returns-with-2nd-cour-on-october-12
ben0119 Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 Yep Lois is quite a fan of Superman, dad. 🤣 Jimmy what have you done?! And great, the kryptonite has fallen out and the hologram is springing the ship into action! That escalated quickly!

I didn't know that. Also I'm not sure if any anime dubs are affected by the strike. I saw that Bleach is still being dubbed. I was going to wait to watch the Bleach dub in case Toonami gets it. But if they never get it, I'm thinking of binging it after the second cour's dub is done.

ben0119 Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 It's a shame Superman will have to destroy that ship with all his history on it. I'm sure he will survive though. Who is on the ship in the portal? Zod? 1

DangerMouse Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 Guessing he was a rebel like usual and not part of the invasion himself.
atomicinumatt Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Sounded like Kylo Ren there at the end lmao Edited September 3, 2023 by atomicinumatt 2
ben0119 Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 I wonder how the kryptonite also destroys the technology. It's causing crystals to form on Superman, too. Wtf. Hey the hologram saved Superman! Wow General asshole actually backed off. 2
ben0119 Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 So what's the deal here? Has Krypton not been destroyed yet, or it has, and these assholes are the survivors? And are those robots or people in suits? Possibly Zod and co.? 1
ben0119 Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Jimmy sold Flamebird for 6.5 million?! Holy crap! Edited September 3, 2023 by ben0119 1
Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 Way to go Jimmy! Still, I'm little surprised he'd sell his pride an joy just like that, but for that much dough can't say I blame him. Oh yeah, and can't wait for season 2 so we can all apparently 2
DangerMouse Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 Oh yeah, FLCL marathon so no Naruto either tonight, so I can't post this in a Naruto tonight even though summer's almost over. They apparently posted a summer poster on the Boruto twitter earlier this week. Spoiler 1

Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 I'm still kind of mad SyFy gave Krypton the ax after just two seasons.

And, coincidentally, what is the symbol/iconography typically associated with Brainiac?
