One of the most, if not the most heartbreaking thing I can think of throughout the different Death of Superman stories out there is that 90% of them are being broadcasted through television nationwide.
Which means the Kents are watching their son get bludgeoned to death by a monster, and they can't do anything to stop it.
Imagine watching your child get beaten to death and being able to do nothing but watch.
It is the Kents watching this miracle that fell into their lives get violently ripped away from them.
It is the agony of watching their child grow steadily weaker, of hearing him scream out in pain (they've never heard him scream due to physical agony like this before, they are frozen, the instinct that drives a parent to protect their child rendered useless by the situation), of seeing him covered in his own blood when they've never seen him bleed and knowing they can't do a thing.
It is seeing his body and knowing they have no real way of retrieving him, of giving him a proper burial, knowing people more powerful than them could steal his body and desecrate it, with them being able to do nothing about it.
I need more Ghostmaker in Superbat fics. More of him coming in and being an annoying ex.
The tension between Bruce and him is so real, add Clark into the mix and there´s a lot of potential there.
Where´s my angsty 100k fic about them???
Just think of the possibilites!! I need this as a fic.
Something tells me Brainiac is not going to be fully defeated this season, like he is somehow going to escape while our heroes think they defeated him.
I feel he will return to cause trouble in later seasons, maybe teaming up with another Superman villain or maybe being the creator of Doomsday in MAWS (or something like that)
It is just he had been built as this bigger than life thing yet I am supposed to believe he is going to be defeated in 2 episodes? I doubt it.
Maybe I am wrong, who knows? Only time will tell.
An AU where the quincy race has actual bird like wings the color of their reiatsu.
And when quincy were more widespread they didn't hide their wings but as their population dwindled they were forced to either hide or cut them off.
Quincy like Ryuken cutting them off while Uryu hid them, only ever allowing them out in private.
Idk the idea just popped into my head and wouldn't leave me alone.
Babygirl
Also Babygirl unfortunately
I just find it extremely hilarious how Byakuya went from being Ichigo's biggest hater ever, to one of his biggest ride or die friends.
It is just funny af how he went from "you are absolutely no one, you are worthless scum" to "I will kill my mentor of decades simply because he is your enemy"
Peak character development right there
Ichigo really beat the sense back into him
I just want to know the opinion of book readers on how book Hiccup would react to meeting movie toothless.
Like imagine post httyd 2 Toothless drops through a portal that sends him to the bookverse, where he tracks Hiccup and instead of finding his Hiccup he finds book Hiccup (you guys are free to chose which book Hiccup is on) which confuses him because the person in front of him is clearly Hiccup but not at the same time.
What I want to know is how Book Hiccup would react to this dragon he has never seen before approaching him? Would he figure out how Toothless' saddle works? Would he be shocked by Toothless' many abilities? How would he react to Toothless' personality and protective yet teasing nature?
I ask this because i've been told there's no night fury equivalent in the books, and Hiccup regardless of the medium would love to catalogue a brand new dragon species.
Bonus points if book Toothless and movie Toothless meet.
I know there's been a lot of contention regarding how Aizen has been portrayed in the anime. With it making him more emotional and seemingly less stoic and in control. He looks more (for a lack of of a better word) vulnerable than he did in the manga and previous anime.
Which has caused a lot of fans who viewed Aizen as this emotionally invulnerable character that can never express anything true and is always walled off to feel discontent with how he's being depicted.
But I personally like the anime's take way more.
Let me explain: Aizen has been in a sensory depravation cell for more than 2 years completely restrained and lacking any human contact. For those who don't know sensory depravation and isolation are torture methods, which means Aizen has been essentially tortured none stop for 2+ years at this point.
Arrogant asshole or not that is bound to take a toll, a heavy one at that. It never made any sense to me how Aizen seems perfectly fine in the manga after what is basically physchological torture.
His more reserved and tense personally fits so much better in my opinion. He is still the asshole we all know and love but his time in muken has affected him.
I am sick and tired of people blaming everything that happened on Clark. Blatantly ignoring the fact he never stood a chance at all and it all was going to happen regardless of the decisions he took.
Nobody, absolutely nobody, not even Batman knew Cyborg was spying on them but somehow the only one that gets blamed for it is Clark.
It wouldn't have mattered if Clark made the best, most perfect plan ever, if Darkside knew their every move.
Even if they had stayed on earth they still would have gotten attacked and killed because the invasion was inevitable, Darkside had his sights on earth since the first movie.
And as Constantine explains, Barry unleashed Darkside into the new timeline, so if you want to point fingers, blame him and his messing of the timeline.
Clark was basically stuck on a car with no brakes on a single road surrounded by walls with a giant truck aiming towards him at full speed.
He never stood a chance at all, he was as much a victim as everyone else.
I know we all joke (specially in the Bleach subreddit) about Adnyeus regretting siring Yhwach and how he is ashamed of him.
But I don't think it is all a joke, because a father that loved his child would never create a new world and then make it so his child would have to kill other people in order to live. Would have never intentionally create a world where his child and his people did not belong, did not fit in.
No loving parent would abandon their child in a completely new world with such alien concept as death all alone with no explanation.
Adnyeus had the power and knowledge to chose differently, but he didn't and really what does that say about him?
Yhwach grew in a world with no death but then was suddenly and forcefully de aged, had all of his senses stolen from him and had to come to the realization that he now needed to kill (a completely new concept to him) in order to survive.
I don't think Yhwach was born evil or delusional, but that everything he went through, everything he saw and experienced changed him.
And even after everything Yhwach still held some love for his father even if it was burried deep beneath several layers of hate and resentment.
Yhwach is in my opinion completely justified in having beef with his dad (doesn't justify the mass murder of countless souls though).
Conclusion Yhwach has daddy issues.
