Note that this is the myth, not necessarily the Marvel multiverse, where Loki is evil. In the myths they actually got along rather well I hear.

One DC Comics Fan Trying To Meet #RestoreTheSnyderverse Half Way

I’m not speaking to my usual readers tonight, but if you’re among that count please stay around. The goal here is to attempt (success rate to be determined) to end a bit of internet strife and promote creativity rather than tying it down in the usual Twitter drama. No, I’m sending this out to the so-called “Snyder Bros”, the fans of Zack Snyder, the ones demanding that the “Snyderverse” make a return.

First, let me say that I’m not here to slam you or get on your case if you liked Snyder’s take on the DC Comics characters. I’ll leave that to whatever Warner Brothers is called this month. For the record I do not agree with you. Explanations are coming, but I would also like to propose a counter solution, one that if I’m right not only would give Snyder fans what they really want to see but would allow those of us who are fans of DC Comics and the proper DC universe (which I haven’t seen since Dan DiDio took over and doesn’t seem to be reforming now that he’s gone) a chance to see what we love properly adapted while having yet another option for superhero movies. Sometimes you want something light and fun, and sometimes you’re into something darker and serious.

This will require me to go over why classic DC Comics fans like myself have issues with Snyder’s take on these characters. I ask that you keep an open mind, hear me out, and if you still don’t like my proposal that’s fine. We don’t have to all have the same tastes and opinions…which is actually part of my thesis tonight.

The Many, MANY Intros Of Transformers: The Netflix Shows

Well it was only a matter of time before there was a new installment in this one. Transformers continue to be made and they continue to make shows based on them. Since my last article in 2020 further Transformers shows have been made and I haven’t discussed their intros…because I haven’t seen them.

After escaping the pit of the action show abandoning Cartoon Network, Transformers moved to Netflix rather than resume with Discover Family. Their new show is going to be on Nickelodeon, but that’s the kids show. I don’t know where the next adult collector targeting show is going to be. So I’m really not able to tell if these shows are any good or how well the intro shows them off because I don’t have Netflix. It requires money and I don’t have any.

Still, I need to get something done quick today and this fits the bill. The “War For Cybertron Trilogy” (not to be confused with the video game because Hasbro doesn’t just recycle names of their figures anymore) is based on the adult toyline, while BotBots is based on a line of handheld transforming figures that live in a mall. Again, I haven’t watched either of them but will these intros make me sorry I don’t?
