Don’t let comic twitter trick you into believing that the Justice League don’t have any good comics lol

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.

This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. 

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

Going to sound like dickriding but

The dcu is taking great concepts and putting comic book characters in them.

True detective
True crime
body horror

For all these things you appeal to a genre and you appeal to comic book fans.

Ça se plaint souvent que les programmes de super-héros sont trop génériques, mais quand il y a une série un peu originale ça ne soutien même pas le projet et ça part tout de suite dans des "futur flop", "qui veut ça", "le sens des priorités"…

Je trouve ça juste un peu dommage.

[James Gunn @JamesGunn]

The People Vs Gorilla Grodd, the new show from DC Studios, is coming to HBO Max. Our first foray into the true crime genre.  From the creators of American Vandal, starring Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Jimmy Tatro as Gorilla Grodd, Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, & Wendell Pierce as Perry White. Additional cast includes Mary Holland, Eduardo Franco, Dan Perrault & Arian Moayed. Along with Lanterns, this was one of the shows Peter & I pitched to WBD before we came on board. With Tony and Dan at the helm, it's something truly special.

Ngl Hal’s powers are way too similar to Guy’s. They shouldve given him a different ability like stretching powers to make him stand out and feel more unique

@NirvanaM1nd I don't think the guardians of the universe cared about mid 80's earth fashion trends

[bad bunny fan @yankspilled]

fact is you guys played around in english class your entire lives, not taking it seriously, reading the materials through online plot summaries and now you wonder why you don’t actually understand anything

They've turned James Gunn into Schrödinger’s executive producer.
When it’s bad, he’s pulling all the strings.
When it’s good, he apparently had zero input and is just some random guy trying to take credit

[Darren Mooney @Darren_Mooney]

@itsjeanphilippe @ThatDorkyGuy And as a comic book nerd who is generally indifferent to accuracy as a barometer of quality - Snyder’s “Watchmen” and Affleck’s “Daredevil” are incredibly textually faithful - I do bristle a bit at people who act as if “not faithful to the run I like” means “not faithful.”

everyone is raving about how good the new Damon Lindelof HBO series is

I can’t believe I’m leaving this town… I made so many great memories here, and friends that I’ll always cherish. I’m really going to miss them.

“comic book adaptations being different from the comics is fine because it’s a different universe” and “it sucks when your favourite character gets adapted and changed beyond recognition and then THAT becomes the standard version” are both true statements

Blonde girl shows up. “WAS THAT GWEN?”

Christopher Nolan calls out amateur movie critics for thinking spotting a movie trope means the film failed

"That's a fundamental flaw of film criticism in a way, or storytelling criticism, because to be able to identify the mechanism does not invalidate the mechanism."

​"And that's a real problem in criticism today, because people have this idea that because I can understand why the story affects me, therefore it didn't work. That's not how storytelling works."

​"When I was talking about film criticism, I was talking more about amateur film criticism than professional film criticism... because they feel they've identified the mechanism, they feel that it invalidates it."

​"That could be true of certain elements, and film language evolves with that... but we do as filmmakers avail ourselves of that common language."
