Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

For me, if I ask for an unpopular opinion and you say something about pineapple on pizza I'm going to assume you have no personality.

Agreed, with the caveat that the Zack Snyder DC films were genuine trash. Not even on a comic book reader and fan level, just on a Zack Snyder level, we need to stop letting that asshat write and make movies.

I really liked Watchmen (perhaps my favourite superhero/comic book movie still) and 300 was very alright, I guess some executives felt the same way... but yeah, everything else he's touched is varying degrees of shit, he's the anti Midas. 🥲

I’m not a fan of Watchmen in general, because I’m also just not a fan of Alan Moore in general, but they are the kind of people who work well together, so I’m willing give it to him, Zack Snyder is the guy for those movies. Same goes for Miller. He could also do a good job with the works of Garth Ennis. Regardless of my personal feelings on all of those folks.

Edit: Also, just like what you like and enjoy it, I have my opinions, but don’t let some douchebag on the internet make you question what you like. The heart wants what the heart wants. (With caveats, nothing is universal.)

That edit is very wholesome but entirely unnecessary, lol. Maybe I AM a simpleton who enjoys shallow things, who knows? But what I do know is that it is even more pathetic to be both a simpleton AND a coward who can't accept it. And I don't know much about comics in general but I'll take your word for it! 😅

Great username btw! ✌️
