[OOC] Young Justice 2022: League of Their Own

[CrimsonWarrior55]

Well... good thing Kendra's power is foresight and not rearsight. Lol. Guess Tea is just gonna have to prove herself to her fellow teammate.

[GreenGrenade]

Gonna post after Diz gets something up. Gabe'll be concerned about Jin, and I'm not sure how to write without interfering with how Diz is going to write Jin out.

[Mistress Dizzy]

m head is currently in a vice grip. its been hours, it won't go away. i can't remember what i wantd to write long enough to write it.

[Omega Man]

Still snowed in and stuck at the wife's grandma's. I'm gonna try and check the IC after the kid goes to bed if the wife's not doing anything online. @XxFellsingxX I'll get back to you on where we're taking the game next so you can have some visions... ~KL~

[CrimsonWarrior55]

I feel your pain KL. I haven't been to school in a week due to extreme weather. Normally, I'd be happy, but I also work at school.

@The Kid Lantern

Thanks, KL, that would be much appreciated. ^^

[Damo021]

I wonder what the rest of the team are doing since returning to base after the fight.

[Exodus]

Yeah, I'd be working on that but I don't have computer access. No IC posts for me. EDIT: Actually, I got a laptop so I'll do one soon. Maybe not tonight but soon.

@Damo021

Babysitting their cousins to take the load off their grandpa. Sorry. I'll post tomorrow. No doubt Tea is gonna want to figure out why using those jets brought so much pain.

[Mistress Dizzy]

i'vve had 2 days worth of migraines. someone knock me out. seriously.

[Omega Man]

They revealed Jason Momoa's Aquaman for Batman v Superman... IDK if I like it or hate it. Tattoo's or war paint... IDK what to make of it. He looks like a badass though... ~KL~

@The Kid Lantern

He looks more like he'd make a better version of Marvel's the Submariner than of Aquaman, to be honest. Still, casting a rather badass-looking actor as one of DC's most under-rated heroes is one way to get him the respect he deserves.

[CrimsonWarrior55]

I love it. But at the same time... I still think they're shoving too many characters into Batman v Superman. Especially considering this can't be a simple cameo. I get if Cyborg gets a pre-cyborg cameo, that makes sense. But you don't go out of the way to make Aquaman look badass and not use him in a badass fight scene. But now I want to know, what's HIS backstory? I know Aquaman's origin, but how did he go from that kid to fucking THIS? Now I want his origin goddammit! This has been my problem day one. This movie will be awesome, but it miiiiiight be a bit overstuffed.

[XxFellsingxX]

Considering the many new characters they are going to be introducing in the second Avengers (Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, the Vision, possibly Black Panther), DC has kind of been put into a corner in order to compete. I say if Marvel is able to pull it off when Age Of Ultron comes out, DC might have a chance.

@CrimsonWarrior55

I'm with you. I love the look for Aquaman. Even if I didn't recognize him. The issue is that I want to hear his story! We know Batman and Superman inside and out! This is why I prefer Marvel's way of doing things. You get to know the character before the team, that way you know who you're rooting for when there are 6 of them. Now I see this BAMF Aquaman and it's like... wow, are all the Atlanteans like that? Just him? Can he still talk to fish? Can he summon some sharks or killer whales to kick butt? But the issue is that the two heroes we've seen already several times in the past 10 years are getting all the hype, meanwhile the characters like Wonder Woman and Aquaman, whose stories haven't been told in... well... I don't even know how long... are going to be regulated to cameos? I'm Batmanned/Supermanned out. I'm bored of those two. Give me someone else, please, and in top billing, not just as a throwaway.

@Mistress Dizzy

OH, MY GOD!!! Thank fucking christ someone else has the same idea as me! Thank you, Dizzy. Thank you so much! It's so good to know I'm not alone. Oh, and I just read that Aquaman will appear twice. Once when Lex Luthor is doing something involving metahumans, and once at the end when Batman recruits him. ... ... ... Bull... fucking... shit. I was super-hyped for this movie... now I'm just hype. I am more looking forward to ANT-MAN than I am Batman v Superman... that's sad.

[SugarRush]

Honestly didn't expect Aquaman to get much screen time for Batman vs Superman, they're saving him for the JL movie. And though I do agree with Mistress Dizzy about the lack of stories about WW and Aquaman their time is coming. But to kick off this new DC Cinematic Universe, they have to start with their most popular heroes.

[Exodus]

When I heard about Batman vs Superman, I thought "Okay, this seems pretty cool." Then they threw Wonder Woman in, and I was like, "Hey, that's a nice surprise. It's about damn time Wonder Woman gets some screentime." But now that they're throwing Aquaman in too, I can't help but feel like they're throwing cameos everywhere just for the hell of it.

[An Outsider]

I love the Aquaman design. My official stance on the BvS movie is that I don't wont to see or read a bit about it until I've seen the movie itself, that way I can judge it on its merit alone. That said, I do like seeing the costume designs and such before the main event. Although all that said, there was no way the could have ever made Jason Momoa NOT look badass. The man's the most savage looking actor in Hollywood. They coulda had him rocking the old Super friends duds ... and he'd still look like he'd fish-hook ya for looking at him sideways.

@Exodus

Don't forget Cyborg! They threw him in too, even though his solo movie is slated for... 2020, I want to say? It's almost like this film is just a way to get every member of the Justice League in one movie so that when they show up IN the Justice League, they can say they already established these characters. And to hide that fact, they made it a Man of Steel sequel starring Batman. Because they don't want to reboot Batman with a solo movie juuuuuuuust yet. Hell, Just to establish his nemesis, they threw Joker into the Suicide Squad movie. Or at least that's how it feels to me. They WANT to do the Marvel strategy, but they CAN'T because fans will bitch that DC is just copying them. (Although I don't see what the problem is with copying a WINNING strategy).
