I welled up. 

I gotta admit, I near teared up at the theme... What an amazing tribute to both John Williams and Christopher Reeves. Gunn really respects what came before. :D

I'm sure it will be a good movie, I'm not engaging with David Corenswet as Superman/Clark, I dont know what it is but people seem really hyped for the movie so I'll reserve judgement.

And yeah, to jump on the Krypto bandwagon, he looked cool! I did like this on Twitter - Zack Snyder's Krypto:

Until we see some extended scenes of him as Clark and as Superman, it's going to be hard to figure out if he's it.  Certainly no reason for judgement at this point.... I would argue that he seems promising, and I like that he tries to look different as Clark vs Superman, rather than simply just wearing glasses.  

 

Also: LOL to that image

He's already better than what the previous movies did with HC, at least now Superman and Clack look different enough that it's not slapping you in the face.  All they did before was put glasses on Henry and call it a day.  At least Gunn is changing up Corensweats look more with a different hairstyle and probably personality, more like what we got in the original with Reeves.

Solid trailer, I don't need to see another.  I just wish I could have the time to see it on the big screen, but I don't know if I'll be able to make it out do to work.

whats this crap, looks ai generated and what is the point of the fake video tape effect 

On the other hand, the robots are practical effects - physical  humanoid robotics with character shells, the main CGI being their legs when they're moving fast. Alan Tudyk voices #4.

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent

      Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
