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.

Other than Doomsday being an existential threat, which he excells at, that takes the League to defeat.  You know...."Rise Of Justice"?

Does anyone else think the exploding Rocket CG scene looks terrible.

Yeah, that's video game level CGI right there. © Zack Snyder 2006-2016.

Well, I guess you're right, there really isn't a good way to bring them together unless you have a threat each can't handle on their own. Still, a freaking monster... It's like Iron Man fighting a robot, how many times have we seen that one.

I am excited about the movie, but I do think they are overdoing it a little. I really wish we had a solo Superman movie to follow up MoS. The appearance of Wonder Woman seems so damned cheesy too.

They're starting Justice Leage and she's a founding member. She also needs to be there to lay down the law when 'the boys' start slamming sausages on the table or do something stupid.

If you think that's annoying, the script leaked a year or two ago and everything in it matches up perfectly with what's already known. Knowing that is truly annoying.

The problem was, it leaked long before the first bit of information came out and before the first teaser. It was thought that it was someone making it up. Only after the trailers started to come out did people realize it was real.

I never even knew a script leaked, also, I've only seen the teaser trailer for SvBDoJ and have never watched the full trailer, I actually stopped watching trailers a long time ago, unless I am sitting in a theatre waiting for a movie to start.

How did they spoil the entire movie? I kinda doubt WB etc would let them just come out and talk about the villain(s) etc, but then again who the hell knows these days. (in spoiler tags please)

Huh?  It wasn't spoiled at all.

It sure felt spoiled to me.

 

Spoiler

They basically laid out the whole plot... Bruce blames Supes for the events of MoS, Lex manipulates stuff so the two of them end up fighting then he unleashes Doomsday and WW won't appear until the end of the film to help fight it.

 

Sure, the trailer kind of alluded to some of that but here they just spelled it all out leaving nothing to speculation.

Fixed that for you :)

 

You shouldn't have had to, it has been working fine after not working for so long, and now it's not working again.

The only thing I did was change the URL.

 

I've found if you use the "share" link provided by YouTube it's a hit and miss (the one that shortens to youtu.be) whereas if you copy the URL straight out of the address bar it seems to work more reliably. It's no issue either way, happy to try where I find anything like that :)

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I like Tidal, but it still does not control devices from the mobile/app and still no surround support. And yeah re: above comment I still get a lot of network errors and I am on a 4/4 Gbit Fiber connection.

    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen Recently, we had Amazon's Prime Day 2026 sales wherein there were several great deals including on SSDs. One of those discounted components was the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as the 2TB variant of it was selling for $370, a very good price after a long time. Although that deal was supposed to expire today, Amazon has now extended that sale further (purchase link under the specs table down below). The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $400. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The technical specs of the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 NAND Flash Samsung V-NAND TLC Controller Samsung In-house Controller Cache Memory Samsung 2GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM Sequential Read Speed Up to 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,550,000 IOPS Random Read (4KB, QD1) Up to 22,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD1) Up to 80,000 IOPS Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Reliability (MTBF) 1.5 Million Hours Endurance 1,200 TBW (Total Bytes Written) Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      Glad im on the right boat. Tidal has lots of issues in terms of app and music mix, its worst than spot but its honest. Spot algo is very tendentious and they pess less to artists, so im comfortable with the tidal errors, for now.
    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says by David Uzondu Image via Tidal Tidal has announced an AI policy aimed at protecting artists and their crafts, as AI music generation tools continue to improve both in speed and quality. According to the music streaming platform, AI-generated music will be accepted, but these tracks will be held to a "higher standard" of content integrity. Next month, the company plans to auto-identify and tag these uploads. Listeners will spot a special icon next to content that algorithms flag as 100% AI-generated starting mid-July, and the platform hopes to expand this tag to partially generated songs as detection tech improves. Any AI music that exploits an artist's voice or likeness will be taken down, and Tidal will immediately block tracks associated with fraudulent activity, which includes artificial streaming and deceptive content that interferes with real creators. And finally, music that's 100% AI-generated will not be monetized. Tidal said there is "ongoing debate" about whether certain licensed synthetic models deserve payouts, so it's possible that this part will change in the future. Streaming platforms are absolutely getting flooded with AI-generated music because of how easy it is to pump out endless tracks every minute. To give you an idea of how "bad" it is, Deezer alone reported that synthetic uploads now make up about 44% of its daily intake, which translates to roughly 75,000 automated tracks hitting its servers every single day. Interestingly, Deezer found most people cannot tell the difference between human and machine creations, with an Ipsos study revealing that 97% of listeners failed to spot the AI-generated tracks. Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music. The Swedish platform partnered with Universal Music Group to test "legal and controlled" generative AI tools that let subscribers remix songs with AI.
