The biggest mistake with Black Adam was trying to make him bigger than the universe he was supposed to enter.

His natural rivalry was with Shazam, a kid who gets his powers from the same magical source. That conflict practically writes itself. Instead, the movie pushed him toward Superman before he'd even built a meaningful place in the DC universe.

Black Adam doesn't need to fight Superman to feel powerful. He needed a proper story with Shazam. They tried to make him the face of DC before giving him a reason to matter to DC.

Black Adam dropped 4 years ago today.

The wildest reality about this film is how creative ego completely derailed two franchises. Instead of building toward the natural comic rivalry with Shazam, the production aggressively bypassed Billy Batson to force an unearned grudge match against Superman.

What should have been a focused anti-hero debut ended up isolating Shazam 2, fracturing the continuity, and crashing the entire DC Extended Universe into an unavoidable studio reboot

@badwolf889 Ha, plot armor is part of it, but the line he got out before going is the reason I think it counts. Hulk's arm gave out after one snap. Tony took all six and still had enough left to finish the job.

[Node 🗿 @NodeOfWeb3]

Hulk's arm was wrecked by one snap, and Tony took the stones with Thanos's whole army in front of him and still got one line out before he went. Was Tony the strongest person to ever wear that gauntlet or is there something I missed?

@Utd_Valeria Good point on the suit and nano-tech. But Hulk got to use the Stones for something he'd prepared for, while Tony had Thanos's whole army coming at him in the same moment. Different kinds of pressure, so I can't call it a clear win either way."

[Node 🗿 @NodeOfWeb3]

@SiezerW Thanos being no human is the point though. Tony's just a guy in a suit and he still held it long enough to finish him

Maria, Rose, and Sina ate their mother to gain Titan powers. Does this mean one of them was eaten by three people in order to create the Nine Special Titans? If more than one person eats a Titan shifter, can they both gain Titan powers?

Who is the better swordsman: Levi Ackerman or Tengen Uzui?

[Baron Emerald @TheBaronEmerald]

Why can Ymir's Jaw Titan speak when other Jaw Titans can't? Speaking isn't a trait of the Jaw Titan.

Sub-elements the Avatars can bend (confirmed in canon):

Szeto: Lavabending, Temperature Regulation

Yangchen: Healing, Spirit Protection, Temperature Regulation, Soundbending

Kuruk: None confirmed

Kyoshi: Lavabending, Sandbending, Glassbending, Healing, Temperature Regulation

Roku: Lavabending, Temperature Regulation

Aang: Spirit Projection, Temperature Regulation, Lightning Redirection, Energybending (not a sub-element)

Korra: Metalbending, Spiritbending, Healing, Spirit Projection, Energybending (not a sub-element)

I believe Avatars like Szeto, Roku, and Kuruk could potentially learn lightning generation or healing, given their mastery of their native elements. However, since these abilities were never confirmed in the shows or novels, I left them off the list to avoid speculation.#avatar

One of the most fascinating details about the Avatar universe is how much of its world map resembles the Yin-Yang symbol, ☯️ which represents the fundamental concept of balance.

What makes this even more interesting is that the area where the Spirit Portals are located in the Spirit World follows a similar pattern, further emphasizing the deep connection between the physical and spiritual realms. This feels like more than just a visual coincidence, especially in a universe where balance is one of the central themes of the entire story.
From the relationship between Raava and Vaatu to the Avatar’s role in maintaining harmony between humans and spirits, the concept of balance is woven into almost every aspect of the lore. ❤️

The creators put so much thought into the worldbuilding that even the geography seems to reflect the philosophical ideas at the heart of the series. In the Avatar universe, balance isn’t just a principle that characters talk about; it’s a concept reflected in the very design of their world. #avatar

Top 3 durability feats among the Avatars:

1. Avatar Korra: She endured a massive dose of lethal mercury-based poison while fighting Zaheer in an intense battle, yet continued to fight despite the poison taking its toll on her body.

2. Avatar Kyoshi: She survived being thrown through buildings and sustaining severe internal injuries that would likely kill an ordinary person. Her body was also covered in scars from the countless battles she endured.

3. Avatar Kuruk: He continued fighting dark spirits even as the damage from his previous battles accumulated, gradually destroying his body from within.

Who do you think has the greatest durability among these three Avatars?

Am I the only one disappointed that Marvel didn't stick to the comic-accurate design? is this an Upgrade or Downgrade?

[shadow x @Shadow_Xae]

In the comics, Steve Rogers retires as Captain America and becomes Nomad after passing the mantle to Sam Wilson. So why did Marvel scrap that storyline in the MCU?

[Apex @Apex_willye]

By the time Marvel finally gives us a Young Avengers movie, half the team will be in their 30s, and the oldest will be pushing 40

I just finished watching The Diplomat on Netflix, and that ending is mind blowing

@Netflix, it’s time to renew this show for Season 5. I NEED ANSWERS!!!

[Apex @Apex_willye]

THIS IS ABSOLUTE CINEMA. PEAK ENDING!!!

The Diplomat is genuinely one of the best shows out there, and the crazy part is that it keeps getting better with every season. The writing, the tension, the twists… EVERYTHING is top tier

[Lorxel ×͜× @lorxell]

Is it just me that loved Paladin’s reaction here?

Imagine finding out there was an incident where a town was trapped inside a sitcom. This is probably an accurate reaction

[Lorxel ×͜× @lorxell]

Can someone please tell me what book Vision was reading on the couch in Vision quest season 1?

Was he reading some personal development but for an AI ?

[Lorxel ×͜× @lorxell]

Is it just me that suspects The Handler might actually be Paladin’s AI assistant? 👀

We only ever see her interacting with him, and she always appears at the same desk. What if that’s a virtual space, similar to Vision’s house, rather than a real location?
