This has to be edited. Aren’t these some of the exact reasons Lex hates Superman?
Lex is an hypocrite.
Wrong board
Lex hates Superman because the sun rises in the morning and hates Superman because it sets in the evening
His reasons are bullshit
God I hate Sweet Baby Inc. everything they've touched has gone to shit. Also crazy how this is Wondie's massive wank. then john stewart is basically called a uncle tom for being black and a cop/superhero "one of the good ones" lol do these types know how racist they are and how cringe that is. Like shit damn it's from deadshot so it reads as a good black is bad to the average black and the criminal is the likeable one it's so warped.
Yeah exactly he'd never say this, he believes in the smartest ruling and human growth. He'd view the Amazonians especially wonder woman as aliens or flaws in the code. They are brutes and he'd hate them or see them as soldiers not some great people like these terrible writers think.
>then john stewart is basically called a uncle tom
Wait what?
The concept was, will smith black deadshot calling upright john stewart marine an uncle tom.
It was written by someone who makes Tai Neshi Coates look like a moderate, and with one tenth his brainpower, so the result was...not good.
Sorry, what are you alleging is the problem with a known butthole saying a shitty thing?
Cause Deadshot is the last person that should be calling anyone an Uncle Tom, considering he sends all his kill money to his daughter to live that exact lifestyle
Jesus I thought you we're kidding. Actually giving him shit for not "acting black".
Did sweet baby ink thought WB using Hal Jordan? Someone approved of making Lex Luther a racist male feminist moronic even for DC.
>Did sweet baby ink thought WB using Hal Jordan?
Gonna need you to repeat that.
I think they went with John Steward with half for diverse and other half he's pretty recognisable for DCAU Justice League. They could've went with Baz or Jess but making a Muslim or beating up a woman is a bad look.
I kinda wish they went with Guy Gardner. Just so his evil mode would be full dickhead wanker.
Really who the frick wrote these? how the frick do you go from the nearly flawless writing of the Arkham games to fricking this?
This is written by Deadshot and not Lex Luthor. Of course a villain hates a cop
There's hating a cop and calling someone more or less a race traitor
He didn't say that and you have to be extremely fragile to think that. It's a pretty blatant reference to that Justice League episode where they go to another universe and som post WWII flash says" you're a credit to your people"
I know the episode your talking about. That is some misguided positive racism. Well meaning but incorrect. This is Deadshot calling him out for being a black man who became a cop and the first paragraph is giving him shit for larping as a white man.
Again, no he doesn't unless you just saw the word white in the sentence and just stopped reading. He's not even criticizing GL for being a typical American good guy, he's mad that he became a space cop and then was not in space when he caught Deadshot.
Playing devil's advocate for a moment, I'm not that anon but he literally says "one of the good ones". Lawton's absolutely calling out Stewart in that context, but like I said a few posts up there's nothing wrong with that because there are literally black people who will think that about others if they act a certain way.
It's still kind of ridiculous that Deadshot accuses anyone of acting like an oreo, or frankly even cares about that kind of thing in the first place. It'd be like Fu Manchu calling someone a banana.
That jab is not towards Stewart, it's towards America. The whole thing reads like "You were everything white people liked already but you still decided to be a fricking cop".
Well perhaps it's my bias then, but since I'm black that's honestly the first thing that comes to mind when I hear about that. Not trying to pull a card here, but that's how it just reads to me.
I don't think he's specifically calling him a race traitor but it's clear he feels like he's doing everything that perhaps Lawton should've been doing with his own life. That's how I feel.
I'm black too so we just have different interpretations. Like I said, Deadshot never claims that Green Lantern was actively trying to be "one of the good ones" , just that (white) people would describe him that way. It's just Deadshot being bitter that a successful guy chose to do something that directly fricks with his way of living
Well wait, no. DO we have different interpretations? Because yeah, that's how he, as a black person would probably think white people would see him as because he was out here doing good unlike himself.
The whole damn interaction feels questionable to me. They raceswap a white character black, then have him basically call the legitimately black character an oreo for being in the military and a space cop.
Just doesn't sit right.
Well that's the thing, anon. Like the other anon, I don't feel like he's trying to call Stewart an oreo. He's just calling him out for making all these accomplishments and being a goody two-shoes. You can still do what Stewart did and be "black". "One of the good ones" is what people who aren't black would probably call someone like Stewart: Someone who doesn't make trouble, a credit to his people, etc, etc. And honestly, the more I read it, the more it comes off as projection on Lawton's part that he's not doing what Stewart was doing because he walked the path he did in life. Even at the end of that bio he doesn't have anything to say and admits Stewart would be a role-model, but implies that anyone who lives like he does would think themselves a know-it-all who would sell their people out (I don't know how else you can take the "narc" line).
A lot of black people who throw shade at other black people trying to stay within the lines or otherwise getting ahead are in essence accusing them of "acting too white" though. Using that exact language, too.
homies think doing good and being humble is bad, gay, or shameful. Disgusting useless culture.
Hell, a lot of us black people on this very board probably aren't acting out in public but our own people would see that as a weakness because we aren't "hood" enough. Frick 'em.
Can't deny that, but I also posit that we also have a "crabs in a bucket" mentality as well. Many of us will put one another down, period, which doesn't necessarily need to be acting too white. You just need to be doing better than the other person is for said shade to surface.
Literally everything blacks do is done only to spite white people
When we're extinct the black community is going to have the single worst identity crisis in the history of man. They won't know what to do with themselves
Considering that Deadshot acts like a Black person, wouldn't it be in character for him to seethe at John for NOT acting like a Black person? I don't think that a guy who kills people for money, but then has the audacity to act like his wittwe baby gurl is off-limits would be an unbiased narrator.
The thing about that is he genuinely meant it as a compliment, that was just the mindset at the time.
He already hates him before he became a cop apparently
I actually don't have any issues with this writing because it's not like this line of thinking is anything new or extinct. Black people do it all the time. I'm sure ANY race is capable of this.
Deadshot is the kinda guy to talk shit about Obama.
>Oh ye mister fancy pants going to law school and be president and shit. Don't know what it's like out here for a real black man. Probably kissing white boots all day. Frickin oreo. He should be killin people for money like me. I never miss.
>They only had Deadshot be the one to write John's bio entry just so one black guy could call the other black guy an Uncle Tom
Holy shit
>a good black is bad to the average black and the criminal is the likeable one
it's basically straight out of the judeo-marxist frankfurt school of subversion. make criminals the victims and victims the criminals. of course that's the entire theme of this game on its face, so I'm not sure why people are complaining when the game does as advertised; it's also why the garbage about "toxic masculinity" is so out of place when tacked on, and I'm surprised they didn't cringe it even further with some pot shot about capitalism or overt, direct praising of judeo-communism.
Lex hates Superman because he's an alien. Lex admiring Amazons is totally in-character. They're basically evolved humans.
Diana isn't human at all. Or half human depending on her origin.
>Lex admiring Amazons is totally in-character
>Lex admiring
Lex would never ever think anyone from Earth or beyond is better than him.
He isn't admiring the Amazons. Just recognizing they made a lot of progress as a civilization and thinking how would the world look if they never ended up in Themiscyra, just a thought exercise.
And in the end he shits on WW because he can't fathom a superior being leaving a golden society to step down on our world.
Do you understand what "admiring" means?
I had to re-read who the frick wrote this?
Possibly the worst writers in the entire video game industry. I hope they make comics one day so we get a SOP out of it.
Has Lex ever had an opinion on Wonder Woman beyond generic disdain?
He hires hot amazons sometimes, as long as they follow his every whim and never outshine him.
The game is utter dogshit but at least they got Wondy's design right.
>toxic masculinity
There aren't any men on the Island...so...I guess technically?
This will only be fixed when you people stop complaining about it and take actions into your own hands to create the media you want to see. You have the means to create 3D models, 2D rigs in Toonboom and even frame by frame animations if that's what you prefer. You can sit here and mald about them trying to break your spirit, or you can fight their "art" with actual art.
alright, but I'm putting horsewieners on all the girls.
No exceptions.
ANd mogo.
And somehow your product will be more faithful to the source material than KTJL is.
Of course. I may be slapping dicks everywhere but I'm a true fan.
How did Sweet Baby Inc. worm its way into so many games?
They made offers that couldn't be refused.
>a certain movement warned about a certain individual having influence in games media and spreading her shit around
>nobody listened or were outright mocked
>ten years later, surprise ESG is everywhere
I personally have no sympathy.
leave with you
no you frick off back to Redit this cancer needs to be stopped
How is asking a question about something that’s actually happening /misc/? They wrote Spider-Man 2 as well.
Join the 41
Hey moron the CEO of Sweet Baby is literally one of the writers of this garbage.
Check what happened with mimimi. They started a campaign against them for shit they did a decade ago. Made a deal saying their PR problems would go away if they signed wtih them.
Of course mimimi's next game with sweet baby cratered so hard it killed the company.
>Blatantly wants to frick WW
It's actually pretty funny to think how much he hates Supergay but would lick WW toes.
On the bright side of KTJL being so shit... it's going to make MultiVersus look phenomenal in comparison when it releases next.
MultiVersus bros we're gonna be so fricking back.
KTJL and MultiVersus aren't even competing for the same audience, people who shit or praise KTJL aren't going to pick up Multiversus because KTJL sucks.
Yeah but by comparison it'll still look like a much better Warner game.
Unless they frick it up which is only mostly likely.
How did the writer find time to punch this up after cleaning up his wives bull and before prepping her next one?
don't you find it interesting how the moment esg died there was a new thing ready for /misc/ to hate?
Its true /misc/ looks for things to hate, but that doesn't mean this isn't hate worthy.
Wait, this used ESG favored contractors for the writing no?
More specifically, this is a full spectrum thrashing the game is getting.
ESG didn't die, it just got renamed and reshuffled because the term began to have negative connotations.
Wasn't this game made before ESG died?
Yes. It's been in development for about 10 years.
With that in mind, is this really in the Arkamverse? Isn't that just marketing? This game doesn't have shit to do with the Batman Arkham games. Gotham Knights seems like more of a continuation.
And where was Superman's gay ass in Arkham Knight?!
He was reference and mentioned multiple times throughout the series you homosexual. Watch your homosexual mouth btw
Was he """"referenced"""" like with playful easter eggs that were only debatably canon? Or did a guy literally say "Oh man, we need to get superman here!" and then there was a reason Superman couldn't be here. Since we're on Cinemaphile, and you're already acting defensive, I'm guessing its the former.
>then there was a reason Superman couldn't be here
IIRC Scarecrow said he would blow everything the frick up if Superman or any other hero ever showed their face in Gotham during AK. Then it was never adressed again.
It’s canon, and there’s nothing we can do about it. They make tons of references to the Arkham games.
Once again this place cannot go five seconds without bringing up the le notzee board
Protip: you don't have to be white in order to find black people annoying and stupid.
Western media seems fricked forever if THIS is the norm from now on. And everything else is next until something happens.
I can't imagine the person who wrote this much less the person who approved it
Yes? Lex always view himself as above the whole human race, the reason he hates supes so much is because he wants to be him, he wants to belong to a race above humans.
It makes perfect sense for him to glaze the Amazons, canonically they are above humanity in terms of technology and culture.
The only moronic thing is the "toxic masculinity" part. Mainly because there's no males on Themiscyra so it's redundant to point out that.
You Black folk just want to complain about shit you don't understand.
go back homosexual
Except his insecurity towards superhumans is meant to be something subtle, you media-illiterate moron. Not something he outwardly states or even writes in a personal notebook since, surprise surprise, it's shit writing for the egocentric villain to realize the real root of his egocentrism.
Holy frick, please never write anything in your life.
These are his personal files, why the frick wouldn't he make notes about the members of the JL? Because it makes you angry? He is not expression anything outwardly here because he is just talking to himself, absolute moron.
>it's shit writing for the egocentric villain to realize the real root of his egocentrism.
Again, please never write anything you fundamentally don't understand what good writing is.
Also this isn't what's happening here? At the end of the note Lex projects himself onto WW as he can't understand why would a woman from a perfect paradise go to man's world.
Is not only perfectly in Character but also very well thought.
>Ur wrong, never write anything duurr!
Thanks for the concession. Go read some books.
Unlike you, Lex is probably smart enough to know that the actual meaning of toxic masculinity isn't the meme rightoids made up so they could scream and cry when someone suggested men should be able to do what they want in life and not feel bad about it.
Either way is stupid for him to say that because... There's no men on Themiscyra. That's like saying Sentinel Island solved racism when everyone there is from the same race.
Good to know you don't read comics and don't know shit about Lex or anything other than the stuff a movies or animated series told you about the DC universe, get the frick out of here and don't give your moronic opinions on stuff you don't understand.
Well, uh, I'm not agreeing with the guy thinking Lex should jerk off the Amazons, but the sentinel island, I'd say it indeed solved racism if everybody is the same race.
Hillary lost, chud.
>it's too deep for you
When Lex became president in the early 2000s he literally called Wonder Woman Superman’s prostitute and that he knows she is planning to take over the earth with him if he doesn’t stop Superman
Still in Character, he has said worse shit About Supes, yet he still recognizes and desires his powers.
Hell in this game the end of Luthor's notes about WW are about how he suspects she is just the worst amongst the Amazons and just wants to enter Man's World to enjoy violence and praise from inferior beings
>The only bad part is the giant glaring issue in the writing that ruins every single other word written in the script.
By that opinion alone its very easy to determine you cut your dick off and talk about lowering age of consent in your little discord group.
It doesn't Ruin anything, it's just silly and at worst (if we exaggerate it a lot) makes let look stupid.
The only problem here is your thin skin that makes you freak out when you read those words together
no, he'd see them as bunch of pampered idiots that only achieved any sort of supposed superior civilization because they were literally given gifts by god like beings rather than because of their own work.
Themiscyra was a punishment for the Amazons, they where send there when they lost a war against the gods of men. Only the female goddesses gave them gifts, yet they made their prison a paradise.
With Palworld blowing up, I hope AAA companies understand that people will buy what people want to play.
Companies know this.
They prefer to have their slop just so that they can push their agenda instead.
Wait until palworld is sued to hell and becomes an example for all other indie developers.
Minecraft, Pokémon and Fortnite are already massively popular.
>Palworld
That's yet another early-access survival crafting game getting popular in an industry that's already had plenty of popular early-access survival crafting games in the past decade. It's still more of the same crap.
>Sweet baby ink writers are mostly white women
>Hate John Stewart for being a black cop and the game humiliated him the most
Shouldn’t blacks on twitter calling this game racist for racially targeting John Stewart?
People on Twitter hate the game except for the Wonder Woman fans. Well they dislike the game too, just not the Wonder Woman parts
No one likes Stewart. Even in the JL cartoon they put a fricking subway token in his room to mock that he's nothing more than a token Black
What
said. Nobody cares about this guy.
He be pig an shiet. He should be husslin an gettin money from dem programs, younowhatimsayn?
I could kind of see Lex saying this, if he gave a backhanded complement or said he could do better himself.
>Ah yes the Amazonians are the pinnacle of what regular humans can do. Technology, culture, combat all quite brilliant. Of course nothing compared to my own genius.
Lex's arrogance is his whole thing. It's like they just read Lex is smart guy, so smart guy say good thing so people know it's right.
How did Rocksteady fall this far? The Batman games were nearly perfect video games. Now they vomit out this? Aside from the bad writing the game looks bad, really really bad.
What I find hilarious is back in 2009-2010 Cinemaphile was the only board on 4chins fighting for progressiveness in comics. You cannot lie I have the screenshots on a jump drive.
After bendis got on X-men something broke here.
By no means of defending the shitty writing for this game, there's a weird level of scrutiny towards that GL dex entry going as far as reminding me how uppity people get with black characters regardless of the writing some of time. Deadshot and GL's "rivalry" can be perceived as generic as Bats and Harley's but since they're black the language for some reason has to be stepping on eggshells despite there being no racial connotation involved in the first place. This is unironically how this Sweetbaby stuff and the pacification of media starts to happen when audiences can't muster up the simple sensibilities of "offensiveness" without entirely going off the deep end from it. I've seen more anti-woke/racist people whining over this line than progressives while not giving a shit about black people in the process. Just culture warring over a goyslop product in order to feel righteous of, almost as duplicitous as a israelite doing the "fellow white people" act.
>Deadshot and GL's "rivalry"
That's why it sticks out actually, this is the very first time Deadshot's ever had a beef with John Stewart, especially for being an uncle tom. It feels manufactured as frick since Deadshot has more history with Batman and Green Arrow than he does with the Green Lantern corps since he's an earth-based criminal. Shit, he has more history with Kyle Rayner than John Stewart since he at least fought Kyle Rayner. It'd be just as nonsensical as if Wonder Woman decided she wanted to decapitate Harley Quinn for being a bad role model for girls everywhere.
probably doesn't help that Deadshot and GL don't really have any sort of history, yet they ended up kind of pushed together for lack of any other options since all the well known GL baddies are just way too high power for this game.
Shoulda used Evil Star or Doctor Polaris as playable characters honestly, make actual interesting C-List villains playable like a Suicide Squad game should. Honestly despite liking King Shark, Deadshot and Captain Boomerang in most works they really should refrain from overusing them in Suicide Squad media, sorta misses the concept a bit if use A-list guys with plot armor.
But no one cares about SQ as a concept, they want to see funny people doing quirky stuff.
Honestly they chose the worse time for that as that has fallen massively out of favour, especially in games with Borderlands 3 being shat on for that, Forspoken especially for it’s dialogue and live shooters being looked at with hatred at best. They genuinely shoulda gone with a game concept and story tone that would of better suited being a colourful supervillain shoved into a situation where you can die for good with only other supervillains to count on if they don’t backstab you first, i’d just change the gameplay to suit specific characters more and to have them not all just use guns unless they actually do in the source material, frick you want sci-fi guns just make a Flash Rogues game like Payday mixed with TF2 or Overwatch
The fact that neither Marvel or DC has tried to copy Overwatch verbatim is kind of laughable considering it ticks the boxes on everything they want to do and would be easy to accomplish.
No you fricking idiot.
would rather they try their hand at another poe/diablo ripoff
but that's just me
They did with Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. But it's trapped on the Switch.
Ultimate Alliance 3 was genuinely really good, helps art design was nice and the heroines looked great and delectable plus the villain designs were in top form. Shame i tried replaying it and deleted my progress when tried starting difficulty over
UA games are very different from MH
Nintendo themselves produced the game. It can't be helped.
I would love an Ultimate Alliance 4 but instead roster is all villains
Man, an Overwatch style game where you are the Spider-man Rogues gallery or maybe niche members of Lantern corps would be dope
I mean, it's really what they want. A minimal effort live-service game. So why not just do an Overwatch rip-off? Milk battlepasses and store cosmetics.
Wouldn’t want that sorta thing but sad reality is yeah they’d plop that right in, pay 20 dollars to get a tongueless Arkillo skin
Should've just made a game about the Rogues or the Secret Six then, SQ is wasted on this shitty game model
>SQ is wasted on this shitty game model
It has Harley Quinn, big moron, angry Black person and inbred australian, what else can you possibly want? People loved that shit in the movies.
Surely people could demand better than having to listen to psychotic clussy and a bogan
>GL baddies are just way too high power for this game
To be fair, everyone's but Batman's baddies are too high power for this Suicide Squad lineup. They are at best suited to deal with people like Bane.
I mean it probably wouldn’t of been highlighted if not for them going out of their way to focus on how or why they changed Deadshot’s race but also having him use the phrase “one of the good ones” passive aggressively in Jon Stewarts bio is sorta scummy with an actual black character since his inception, like even to me that’s a bit odd
You homies up in here talking about how mad you are over dead shot and green lantern dialogue
IS THE FRICKING GAME GOOD. I don’t give af what the story does, is the fricking game fun. Last time I played a game for the story was the darkness
>IS THE FRICKING GAME GOOD.
No.
It's a garbage tier looter shooter with trash boss battles. You can extrapolate how fun it is from there.
>"...we had instead looked to them as a model, replicable if only we could set aside our baser instincts. They've solved so many of our society's ills:
>broken democracy
>lagging technology
>toxic masculinity.
>And thus they flourish through higher learning, mutual aid and governance without cruelty".
>..."why a woman of her caliber and ancestry would leave paradise to play in the mud with us"
Ah, yes, the narcissistic genius Lex Luthor would totally say this about a radical feminist theocracy where all the woman live like they were back in ancient Greece and has a female-Superman.
I mean, imagine writing that THE AMAZONS have solved TOXIC MASCULINITY and not seeing the problem with that.
>ctrl+f "Mercy"
>0 results
Mercy Graves is an amazon half the time, this amount of glazing of the Amazons from Lex would make way more sense if it was just Mercy writing it instead of Lex
>Mercy Graves is an amazon half the time
What? Since when?
just in some continuities
How do they have a perfect democracy? They have a queen, its a monarchy.
don't expect Shit Baby Inc's diversity writers to think too hard about things like this as they're writing them.
Outside of the purple healing laser what tech on Paradise Island did we not have by the 10th century?
Lex didn't write this, his unpaid college intern did.
