So is that supposed to be Doomsday or something else? I didn't know Doomsday could shoot lasers from his eyes.

 

I was hyped for this movie, but honestly after watching that trailer the hype kind of died a little and I'm not sure why.

 

Maybe it showed too much?

Doomsday is a genetic engineering experiment gone wrong from Krypton, soooo....

I know the basics of Doomsday. The reason I ask is because I think he looks more like Darkseid would than Doomsday. And Darkseid has that fancy omega beam thing.. 

 

I don't know if they've ever said who the main baddy is supposed to be as well.

Looks awful. Seriously. Godawful. The entire movie seems spoiled, right down to Wonder Woman's entry. There's basically no suspense left.

 

And what's even worse than that is that they took the interesting premise and everything they talked about this movie being different, and turned it into another generic 'superheroes fight a monster' movie. Really disappointed.

Ugh, so in this universe Lex makes Doomsday from Zod I assume. Well, at least they keep it that Doomsday is a genetic disaster etc.

I was definitely looking forward to this movie until Lex did something to Zod.  Then all I saw was a Zack Synder meets Michael Bay movie.  What a POS this is going to be.

I have to be a hypocrite a bit right now, but one thing I didn't mind, which people seem to take apart is that it seems too cheesy. Might be a bit too much, especially with Luthor looking like he's about to share a joint with Jonah Hill or something, but I'd take that instead of ridiculous realism/forced darkness in a movie where these characters are running around in capes. It's just that it seems too generic and lazy. Seriously, a big monster? Urgh.

Clearly derived from....

 

"Superman (vol. 2) #175 commemorated the 100th issue since the death of Superman in battle with Doomsday, by staging a rematch. Doomsday's skeleton was retrieved and his flesh regrown by Lex Luthor (using Superman's Kryptonian DNA),"

Yeah, it was in the comics, I get it. Doesn't make it less lame. It appears as if the entire third act (if not even earlier, going by Man of Steel) will probably once again be mindless destruction, this time with a gigantic monster. And let me take an early guess, that in Justice League, you'll have an army of gigantic monsters. That's one thing I thought they would get right, because both this and Suicide Squad appeared to have been more about the character conflict, instead of fighting a generic villain, like every Marvel movie. Now I wouldn't put past them to include some monster fight in Suicide Squad as well.

Looks great!

 

...but... you know what instantly annoys me? There is no face paint around Bruce's eyes when the mask comes off! :pinch:

 

Watch "Batman Returns", same thing when Bruce takes the cowl off, there is no face paint.

Yeah, a big monster which in the comics killed* Superman.

 

* Until, of course, Superman was resurrected in part by the Eradicator.

But in the comics, Doomsday was essential to the story. He set off that entire plotline. I can't see him serving any other purpose in this one, other than being an excuse for seeing 30 minutes of dumb action.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
