#SupermanAndLois Wolé Parks Gets 'Emotional' Over His Character's True Identity: 'The Responsibility Is Crazy' tvline.com/2021/05/25/sup… via @TVLine Ok, we need to talk about this [SPOILERS HEAD]
The twist of 'The Stranger' aka General Luthor been in reality John Henry Irons from another Universe was extremely well executed. Was a well build & smart move, touching a potential untapped before by the show own insistence on be Smallville redux. #SupermanAndLois
All that put the character what we have seen so far in another different aspect. Steel here isn't "evil", he is a hero shaped by trauma and trying at any cost avoid the history what doomed his world happen to the one he's right now trapped. #SupermanAndLois Image
But again, #SupermanAndLois is rightfully critizised for the lack of representation. Isn't like the other DCCW shows, what make it more naturally by putting diverse actors in all kinds of roles. This definitely doesnt happen here.
The presence of background characters in #SupermanAndLois is mostly background characters with almost no lines. This week's episode gave a extra push for that (because David Ramsey directed) but at the same time, the big Steel reveal is part of the problem in a certain level.
In a show with basicly no POC in proeminent roles, even as guest stars, turn his only main black cast member, which is actually a beloved DC superhero, and sell it at first as a villain is problematic. #SupermanAndLois
There is no middle ground stabilish before, and leaves a bad taste. I just hope, whatever journey the character goes, that at the end dont gave him a "honorable death" or other BS of the kind and make his presence and evolution worthy long therm. #SupermanAndLois
Is the first adaptation of STEEL in what, almost 2 decades? He deserve better and go further in the Arrowverse than be a "antagonist of the hour". #SupermanAndLois

A while ago, i did this question here. I wans't just doing for you. But for me as well: what should be the driven force for em (and everyone else) about #RestoreTheSnyderverse?
Part of my feelings are explains in this LONG thread (as usual), what also shows its complex the situation (from both sides) what actually stop us to give more Snyderverse in fact. #RestoreTheSnyderverse
In resume: we have egocentrical executives what have a hate boner for Zack Snyder, because the potential return to the franchise expose all the shitty behavior what could (and should) make all of them fired. #RestoreTheSnyderverse

Is not about to "be or not be mean to the giant corporation". The illusion what you CAN'T consume anything or everything from a certain company/industry is a lie, in special living in a captalism system. #RestoretheSnyderverse #SuckItWarnerBrothers
In a way or another, you'll pay for this, and because you are the consumer, you have the right to call the BS what they are doing, and call them out to be and do better, even at the end you end paying for a product for them. #RestoretheSnyderverse #SuckItWarnerBrothers
Even as a joke, Zack Snyder, and everyone else, is right: #SuckItWarnerBrothers. The man you constantly fucked with for pure egotistical reasons is making success and call you out for your bullshit. [+] #RestoreTheSnyderverse

Lets talk about these 2 news what dropped on THR today shall we? Both are matters of interest for us and kinda crossed each other in a way. Follow the thread below.
Starting with: Behind Warner Bros.’ Search for a Black Superman (and BTW, the new site design is WAY cleaner, good change) hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-n…
Some things first from reading the piece: "Coates isn’t expected to deliver his Superman script until mid-December" which means people will want change what Coates have written, or drop his script at all if at their point they dont like it. [+]

Again, i have no issue foir the now-know DCEU aim a North in the DC fandome in therms of shared universe, the problem is they throw they foundation out just because was made by Zack Snyder and denied the clear internal issues they have along the process.
Because they already retcon the Snyderverse in 2017, DCEU and the Snyderverse are two different beasts, but again, all their choices for the future what will probably denied the foundation will taste bittersweet for hardcore and casual fans alike.
Because they can recast Batman, bring henry back and continue to tell whatever Justice Elague stories they want, but if they want a new Cyborg, they haven't the balls to do the minimal to bring Fisher back.

The point is: there no way in form the Snyderverse continue on theaters. Like, putting Jeffrey Dean Morgan on 'The Flash' wouldn't magically course correct to make ZSJL canon again. [+] #RestoreTheSnyderverse
It was never their interest since 2017, they changed all the end of Wonder Woman to NOT fit whatever Zack was doing. Team H&O have a very set plan to sabotage what Zack was doing to reboot it. #RestoreTheSnyderverse
HBO MAX is the best option in the sense there is SO MUCH to explore the Snyderverse there before actually call him back. Because, if the problem is the major budget, spin-offs can make the world alive while build up antecipation for ZSJL 2 &3. #RestoreTheSnyderverse

I think is little commented how that moment is important for the overall TDK trilogy and how Bruce morals evolve during the movies.
That moment is 100% League of Shadows mindset, because a criminal is victim by their own mistakes, until it didn't TDK, making drastic changes on the character because inprison Joker become about to make a statement that the system works.
And then on TDKR the system is complete broken, and right and wrong became a blurry line. One of my favorite small moments in the film is when Bruce throw a rope after climbing the pit. Everyone deserves second chances, ot at least own that to others.
