This is a copy-paste of a comment I left in another thread that I think would benefit from more visibility:

A talking point I’m seeing a lot of pop-news outlets latching onto is that Ana Nogueira, the writer of the film, supposedly “admitted” to misunderstanding the ending of the book, which is misrepresenting what she actually said in her interviews with Variety. She provided her interpretation of Woman of Tomorrow’s ending and how she reconciled that when it came to adapting elements of the story to a film that has to fit within the DCU, and people have been twisting that into headlines.

But more importantly, this misrepresentation also ignores the chronological order of events:

Woman of Tomorrow came out between 2021-2022, and at the time there was a lot of debate within the fandom as to whether or not Krem died at the end of the comic when Ruthye battered him upside the head with her cane. Because this was an older, frailer Krem who’d spent ages in captivity. The last panels literally showed him collapsing onto the ground, and he appears fully limp and motionless in the very last one.

As you can probably tell, there was substantial debate as to whether that meant Ruthye had left Krem to die at the very end (it’s similar to the whole debate about the ending of The Killing Joke and whether or not Batman strangled Joker). The sentiment I saw echoed regarding this interpretation was “yeah he may have finally repented by the end, but that doesn’t erase all the harm he caused, nor does he suddenly deserve forgiveness after apologizing”. Tom King only weighed in on this debate a few years later in 2024 to say that Krem didn’t die in that panel.

But here’s the thing, the script for the movie was written predominantly in 2023, so it’s not a stretch to suspect that the script was written from the “it looks like Krem might’ve died” camp, because a lot of people at the time were certainly in that camp. The movie had already began preparations for filming in 2024, so I doubt there was much room to change things by that point when King spoke on the subject.

Regardless of all this, I think the “Krem died” avenue works well for this movie in differentiating Kara from Clark in the context of the DCU. Having this difference in views between Kara and Clark can introduce interesting avenues for exploring the ideological conflict/tension between the two, as opposed to Kara just being a copy-paste of Clark (which is something I was mildly miffed about with the CW show). And I’m betting we’re going to see some of that dynamic next year in Man of Tomorrow.

And lest we forget, Tom King himself was specifically brought in to be one of the big-picture-thinking guys for the DCU, so I highly doubt that he of all people wasn’t aware of this change in the story, considering he’s the guy that came up with the original.

Can’t believe us global players are getting denied the masc lesbian pantsuit, and during pride month no less 😭

To be clear, I’m well aware of the dynamics between NetEase and Blizzard and why we aren’t getting the skin. It’s just disappointing that Pharah has been starved of good content for years now 😔

Despite being stealth and having never been clocked in over three years, I’ve always had the insecurity of “oh maybe everyone knows and they’re just not telling me to be nice”, and it’s made me very self-conscious about my appearance.

Cue one of my queer besties inviting me yesterday to model for a photoshoot at a clothing store she works at. Holy shit when I saw the photos, my reaction was the whole Danny Devito “oh my god, I get it”.

A part of me still can’t believe a friend thought I was hot enough to model, but that part is a far quieter today than it has been over the past couple years :3

Fuck Russell Vought

It’s been a long while since I last played the mission, but is there any indication that the player character remembers the alternate timeline and the events they experienced?

My first thought was no, because the ending of the mission once you’re back on your own ship is a clear parallel of the ending of “Yesterday’s Enterprise”, where none of the crew of the Enterprise-D, save for Guinan, have even the faintest recollection of the alternate timeline.

But I guess what makes it different is that you get beamed onto the Timeship just before the Enterprise-C enters the anomaly, and that Walker is the one (if I recall correctly) that sends you back to the original timeline. Wouldn’t that introduce the possibility of the player character remembering those events?

Edit: Some extra thoughts I had with the last paragraph
