MAWS Clark’s Strenght

Vander and Jayce

Can't stop thinking about how similar the scene where Vander picks up the sisters at the bridge in ep 1 and the scene where Jayce is mourning the child he killed are.

In both scenes Vander and Jayce are confronted with children that were directly hurt as a consequence of their actions, and a glimpse of the destruction that would follow if they kept walking on the path they were on.

They were forced to do introspection on themselves and their ideals, which changed them as people.

Movie Hiccup vs Book Hiccup in a Fight

As the title says movie and book Hiccup in a death match, each with all their available resources. Meaning movie Hiccup get things like his flaming sword and flight suit, while book Hiccup gets both dragons plus any weapons.

They have no knowledge of each other besides the fact the other is a dragon rider. They are both fighting to protect what they love. They start 100m away from each other.

A dragon fight followed by a physical fight.

¿Who would get thrown off their dragon first? ¿Who would win the fight on the ground?

Bonus rounds

Movie Stoick vs Book Stoick with and without dragons.

Movie Riders vs Book Riders (Hiccup's friend group)

Lucifer and God in Hazbin Hotel

If God and Lucifer don't have a White Diamond/ Pink Diamond style relationship in Hazbin Hotel I don't want it.

I want God to be this ancient and primordial being who genuinely sees Lucifer's punishment as the equivalent of sending a child to their room, like the last 10,000 years have just been a minute to him.

I want Lucifer to still be his favorite, for him to be extremely loving yet condescending at the same time.

To him all of Lucifer's pain and suffering is equivalent to a scratched knee.

He would see Lucifer's refusal to come back to Heaven after their reunion as a child throwing a tantrum after being scolded.

Meanwhile Lucifer has to deal with a parent that doesn't listen to him and treats him like a doll. (Having an omniscent and omnipresent parent must be hell)

All while the rest of the cast can only watch this family feud.

MAWS S2 E8

I can only say “FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK”

Clark baby you deserve so much better.

(Brainiac slayed that outfit though)

This idea has been bouncing around my brain non stop, so I wrote a little snipet. Might write more after I finish my current WIPs

The first thing Mel noticed during their reunion -as violent and messy it had been- was that Jayce's softness was gone. Both in his body -its plush curves and soft muscle that she loved to lay against being replaced by sharp protuding bones and wiry muscle- and in his mind -a fountain of unconditional love she had grown used to bathing in that had dried up when she least expected it, leaving her thristy and longing for its sweet freshness-.

Mel found herself mourning its loss despite knowing it was always bound to happen. She had known sooner or later a wolf would come around and rip Jayce's wings off to feast on his soft heart.

Mel pondered on who it could have been as she gently carded her fingers through Jayce's wet hair, smiling at its softness. She took a moment to appreciate Jayce's sleeping face, how even after being subdued by Viktor's magic his face still remained tense, his brows stuck in a perpetual frown, so different from his previous self I caused Mel's heart to clench painfully.

In an attempt to sooth herself and Jayce she began to gently sing an old Noxian lullaby her brother would sing to her. The tender tones of the song and her voice had the intended result.

Jayce subconsciously nuzzled into her thighs, his shoulders losing a little of that ever present tension, which was perhaps a hint not all of his sweetness was gone.

Okay genuine question. Chat, do we think that if s2 Viktor and Mel got power hungry, and joined forces to take over Piltover to recreate it in their own divine image. If this happened, do we think Jayce would crumble or renounce them?

Ending for MAWS

I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade but I feel MAWS’ final villain is going to end up being Doomsday (with an show original backstory), and we all know what Doomsday does.

(It would Also be a nice parallel to S2 E8 name being “The Death of Clark Kent”)

if MAWS Clark dies I would cry a river.

Characters Who's Blood is Power

Snyderverse Superman

I don't like the angle the story itself is trying to sell on him but I do think the reactions of the characters inside the story are realistic to what would happen to him in the real word.

Lex Luthor hates him because of his own internalized issues, using him as a scapegoat he can pin blame on. Pretending he hates him due to some higher purpose.

Bruce hates Superman because he doesn't understand him, and people fear what they don't understand. (and in this universe metas became common after Superman appeared so this Batman has no experience with superpowered beings, he didn't slowly increase the powerlevel of the powered being around him, he went from 0 to a 100, and that is scary)

The people who he has saved and cared for love him because they've seen him, they know him.

The people that hate him tend to be people in power or those affected by Black Zero.

He didn't get that much time to make the world know him, he was Superman for like 2 years only, compared to the 20+ he has in the comics.

He is this powerful being that sprung out of knowhere, that is bound to make people afraid, and no ones likes being afraid so they hate.

I think the most realistic part of the movie is the tv scene where people are sitting down and talking about weather he should be allowed to roam free or not.

As if it is moral to deny a sentient being freedom/ autonomy.

Because as much as it sucks to think about it is what would most likely happen if a superman appeared.

People say snyder superman is too angry or gloomy but who the fuck wouldn't if they were subject to hearing people treating them like an object and hating him?

MOS Pa Kent and MAWS Pa Kent

I find the polar opposite depictions of Jonathan in these stories incredibly fascinating.

MOS Jonathan shields and separates Clark from anything related his heritage, including things like his ship and powers. Encouraging suppresion and caution in Clark.

Actively telling Clark to hide his powers and never use them, scolding him whenever he used them. He is a man terrified of the world taking his son away from him, specially knowing he has no real way of protecting Clark from anything that may seek to harm him. So he encourages him to hide himself and avoid drawing any attention.

He is a more jaded and cynical man, immediately assuming the world would attack and try to kill his son (he ended up being right, which is its own can of worms), would try to rip his miracle child, his star baby away from him.

He only sees a world that would harm the child he so desperately seeks to protect, that child he loves more than anything.

MAWS Jonathan is the complete opposite of his MOS counterpart. He is the one that encouraged Clark to discover himself, to make contact with the ship, to practice his use and control of his powers, even turning that into a game a young Clark could enjoy.

He is aware of the shock Clark´s existence will create but in the end he has faith in humanity seeing Clark for what he truly is, someone who just wants to help others.

He is more optimistic and cheerful, thinking of the best and encouraging other people to do so too.

In MAWS, Martha is the one who is the one who wants to keep Clark away from anything alien, the one that clings to him and wants to keep him hidden.

While Jonathan is cheerful over Clark deciding to go public and help people, Martha is the one that is slightly reluctant (though not to MOS Jonathan´s level, like letting yourself get killed by a tornado because you don´t want your son to expose himself is extreme though somewhat understandable) to let him go, though she eventually gets on board and creates his trunks.

This dicotomy is reflected on Clark´s abilities.

Flight is one of his most characteristic abilities and it often serves as a metaphor for Clark feeling free and accepted, it comes in moments where Clark learns to love and accept himself.

So it is interesting to see how in MAWS it is one of the first he obtains while in MOS it is one of the last ones. Showing the difference in how their settings and enviroments reacted to them.

MAWS is honestly amazing and I am incredibly glad we got this adaptation of the Superman mythos. It is so unique and refreshing. I can´t wait for season 3.

Regardless of its flaws I genuinely love MOS and its depiction of the Kent family. Its different from what we are used to in comics and tv shows, but it offers a unique take on the Kents dealing with Clark´s powers. At the end the day Jonathan is just a father terrified someone will hurt his child and he won´t be able to protect him.

Anyways this ramble has lasted enough, love both pieces of media to bits.

Star Wars HOTD AU

An AU where it is the HOTD setting with Star Wars characters. There's so many ideas that won't leave my mind. Like:

The jedi as dragon riders who protected the republic. Having the force and their dragons. With lightsabers being an equivalent to Valyrian steel swords.

Coruscant as King's Landing. With the king being replaced with the chancellor.

Each mayor planet being a kingdom with the lesser ones being cities.

Mandalore as Dorne, with their dragon killing beskar spears and hatred of the jedi. Having been able to resist conquest and refusing to join.

The unkown regions being the zone beyond the wall. Where sith magic and the darkside abound.

Plot wise I was thinking about how similar Daenerys and Luke are. Maybe Luke is the one that brings dragons back into the realm in a parallel to the ritual Daenerys did, only with Darth Vader, Sidious and himself instead of Khal Drogo, Mirri and Daenerys.

Or maybe we could see Anakin falling to the darkside and leading to the end of dragons and jedi alike.

There's so much that could be done with this idea, but i am curious as to what other people think.
