Naruto Rebirth: Kakureyami OOC

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

Onee-Chan, do you think I would make a good mermaid...? I'm thinking of creating a mermaid character or two for use in RP's, and wanna know if I'd do well to make one of them essentially a mermaid version of myself...

 

[GasMaskie]

Justice League is going to suck, I think Zack Snyder's proven multiple times that he's terrible at directing movies with DC properties. At least I don't have to worry about Joss Whedon and his really cringy dialogue/humor ruining another Avengers movie. I think that the Shazam movie might end up being pretty good, especially since the Rock makes for a really good Black Adam based on appearance and prior roles. What DC needs are more light-hearted movies, and that's going to be fulfilled with Booster Gold and Blue Beetle if they manage to survive long enough to actually make it. So long as it's the Ted Kord BB. I like Jaime Reyes a lot, but he doesn't have the right chemistry for a Booster Gold buddy flick.

While I enjoy both companies, I feel like the Marvel fanbase has been exceedingly annoying with their Loki worship and constant slash shipping - especially with Civil War. Comics-wise, I think DC's been better as of late with Convergence and the changes to retcon a lot of the dumb shit that happened in New 52 (They even killed off New 52 Supes and brought back pre-Crisis Supes, Lois, and their son). Court of Owls stands out as a really good story from that era regardless. Marvel went for shock value by suddenly turning Captain America in a sleeper Hydra agent, and I think the last good story I enjoyed from them was Spiderverse (even if they totally shat on Supaidaman and Leopardon).

Yeah, it looks like the Suicide squad will be good. I have high hopes for that too. As it explores the often not seen villains, they at least have more wiggle room to do their work. I've seen the animated DC movie of the Suicide Squad and it was A+ work. Really made the villains likable. From the commercials, Harley is being highly sexualized, and I hope that isn't one of the big draws of the movie. As for Affleck's script, LOL. You know what that means right? He probably got a whole bunch of flak for his part in the Batman VS Superman movie. This sounds to me like he wants to fix that mistake and play in something worthy of being "Batman." That alone I think is enough to say his portrayal will come down that familiar Batman alley. Ehh, Leto will get used to. People are just spoiled by Heath's performance. I'm sure everyone who tries to play Joker will hear that they're okay, but not as good as Heath was.


Now if only someone could fix Superman? Anybody. He's hot, big, righteous, dashing, and holds a sea of power beneath a veneer of considerate affability. What's so bad about playing him like he is!? (<_<)


I'm sure the DC cinema universe will work itself out. That's the beauty of having a rival. If you personally suck and get embarrassed by your rival at every turn, you will eventually get your stuff together.


@Kiyoko Tomoe


Lol TMO. You always make my day whenever you talk. You don't even have to say anything that makes sense, haha. No, no. I don't think you would make a good mermaid. You're more a Princess, or Queen, or Dancer, or Sorceress, or playful Druid.


@GasMaskie


Okay my comic analyst! Now what else are you hiding??? Show me all your true colors right now, Gas.


Mmm. The League will probably have problems putting things together. AT least it'll be an experience they can learn from once they figure they're not making the money they're projecting. I think the tone of the DC movies are just fine...they just need to stay on some level true to the source man! Imagine if Chiaki in this RP suddenly activated the Sharingan? You'd be like whaaaaat??? He's not an Uchiha. But then you get some reason for it that Uchiha blood seeped into his skin, as he was drenched with the blood of a man that protected him during the Kakureyami's initial invasion. ( )( "). Come on. Stop trying to be cool. Just play things how you know they go. (BP).


Now you know they are going to do Jamie Reyes right? (o'v'o). I have no doubt in my heart. The opportunity to have a Hispanic fill the role, will not be passed up on. Absolutely not.


Oh man. The New 52 is another whole conversation Gas.

Take a deep breath and realize you can only live one day at a time. There's no use stressing over the coming days if you can only act in the moment. So take a nice cold, warm shower and clear your nerves. Do some push-ups, lift a few weights. There's absolutely nothing you can do to change the result, except for controlling how you react.


Stop reading about it. Only focus on what you're able to control. And that is what you do.

• One day at a time.
  
• You can do nothing about this.
  
• Focus on you.
  

I would say to chat with me, but I recall yesterday you said your body was ready for my Tsun. Well. You've exhausted most of the Dere. I am firmly in Tsun mode with you IG. (^.^)

Guess Kiyo will just go and make a druid or something...

​

Shazam could be really good, depending on who they get to play Billy. If they go with his comic age, there could be an issue, since child actors aren't usually very good, aside from a few great talents. Dwayne Johnson really does nail the look for Black Adam.


DC is going to have a few lighthearted films to go with the grim ones. Flash and Shazam have been reported to be among the former. I'm sure we'll be getting the Kord version of BB, since the movie with Booster Gold is being described as a "Buddy Cop" flick. As much as I would love to see a more ethnically diverse cast, Reyes wouldn't have the same chemistry.


In the comics, DC seems to be indecisive. There's been a lot of backlash about the New 52 and they're trying to appease fans with Rebirth. However, they also want to keep the new continuity, which is making things more convoluted than they need to be. I honestly think another reboot would be for the best.


I really hope Marvel's handling of Cap is just an elaborate ruse for sales. Making Rodgers a Hydra agent is one of the worst things I can imagine when you take into account the reason for his creation.


@White Masquerade


The animated movies and specials for DC have been pretty solid. They actually make the characters likable and the dialogue makes them seem more human, rather than walking seekers of vengeance who are always looking for a spot to brood.


I doubt how they're handling Harley is one of their biggest draws, but it's definitely something being used. She's a beloved character and will have a lot of screen time. Sexualizing a female lead is part of Hollywood's long-used formula and its being shown in the the trailers. I hope there isn't more to see of that in the movie.


I don't think Affleck is going to try appealing to people by going for a more familiar Batman. Based on interviews, he seems to be committed to this version and isn't looking at criticism properly. Still, I hope a lack of involvement from Snyder will make it better than what we got in the last movie.


As for Superman, he's gone too far to be changed. They clearly tried to make him Batman, since the character has risen far above Clark in popularity with his exposure in the media. I'm not saying he should be a complete boy scout like he usually is, but making him so much like Batman leaves the franchise without the light that it needs to balance out the darker elements. It also takes away from the relationship Bruce and Clark have in the comics.


I'm not sure how well the films will do at getting their act together. While Marvel is a competitor, BvS was nowhere near a financial failure, despite fan and critic reviews. Money controls everything and as long as they have it, I doubt they'll be very willing to change.


Also, I really doubt they'll go with Reyes for the Blue Beetle. He wouldn't work very well with BG. I don't think passing up on a character of color will be a big deal to them, just like Marvel. They wasted a good oppurtunity to put Miles Morales in the spotlight as the new Spider-Man.

@IG42


Lol. No IG. I don't want a hug from you and probably won't for a really long time. I am generalizing mermaids on the Little Mermaid, but a bit from Greek Mythology. I consider them...enthralling, but not intellectually as a species. Rather, it's not their strong point. I am sure you're have a more fascinating conversation with Medusa, than a siren.


@Lucem Tenebris


Ah. Good points. We'll have to see where things go then. I guess if you want to see change, be what you want to see huh? Lucem. Promise me you will become a big shot and fix the Comic film Industry.


If Affleck's movie, the Booster Gold one, and DC as a whole turns sour...I will be turned off. A lot. What gets me though, is your point on the BvS movie doing well financially. It doing well despite the criticism is a bit deceptive. Superman and Batman are the two biggest DC heroes. How can you NOT watch a movie made on them you know what I mean? Even though it may not be the best, it will still be watched because it's, "Superman and Batman." It's nuts when I think about it. I feel that movie got a pass simply because it was something you HAD to see; hate it or love it.

Barbatos doesn't have shit on the Astaroth Origin. Why is it that sidestory Mobile Suits are always better than the ones in the show? (ex: Astray, Astraea from 00, Tyrant Sword, Gundam Sentinel, Hathaway's Flash, Advance of Zeta)​

I see. You like structure. I like appearance. It depends on who you ask. I think Barbatos is much sexier than the suit you have there. That red, white, and blue color scheme never fails to be perfect for hot gundams. Though, if you want to get into weapons ans armaments, different story. So I'm HALFWAY with you there.


@Kiyoko Tomoe


Aw Tmo. No mermaids aren't stupid. They are majestic, gentle, beautiful beings, and I got what you did there =). Ignore me. You can be a mermaid. But don't let your beauty make you skip out on studying and learning about the world beyond the sea okay? Promise you will be into the shellbooks okay? Always be on time for class. Don't listen to those other mermaids that just want to seduce people and flip around their long luxurious hair. Make sure you have substance!

The whole success of the superhero movie genre that's been popping up lately can be attributed to what you said. No matter the criticism or feedback, people will still go see their favorite characters on the big screen, even if it's not the same ones they know and love. Even though Civil War was different than the comics, people still watched because of the title, some going through the other films thinking they had to in order to understand the newest one (which they didn't). That's the entire backbone of Marvel and DC films. Even if fans get mad and upset, it really doesn't matter unless people stop seeing these movies, which won't happen. These films are made to appeal to a general audience who have no idea about the characters as well. There are also the hopeful ones that keep coming back, thinking that they might see something good.


For every viewer lost, there are ten more waiting with cash in their hands. Superhero movies have become products, not works of cinematic art. It's a trend that will inevitably die like the rest and people will wish they had gotten something better during the boom. Once that dies, directors will move to whatever replaces it and ride the train until it's time for the cycle to repeat. At the end of the day, it's a business and there's not really anything we can do to change things aside from keeping our money in our pockets, which would probably kill the genre as a whole, rather than make for creative changes.

They also caused severely dangerous weather to kill sailors and crash ships when mildly upset. Mermaids are known to be enraged easily and bad omens in several cultures.
