Superman In JL Dark Apokolips War

Book Hiccup and Movie Toothless

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.

Batman’s Rogues seeing Superbat

I am currently writing a fic in which we get to see Superbat developing into a relationship through the eyes of Batman’s Rogues gallery.

In kind of a 5+1 things format.

With each of them having their own opinions and thoughts on the heroe couple. Along with it being an exploration of that respective rogue’s character and relationship with Batman.

So I wanted to ask for suggestions for scenarios on the fic and which rogues I should use.

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.

Brainiac’s Feelings

This little scene feels so important to me, because Brainiac jumping into Clark’s body gives us insight into the more subtle aspects of Brainiac’s feelings.

Like for all his intelligence and power he must not be used to having an actual face that can emote, because as we can see in the clip the Eye and eyebrow movement gives the fact that what he is saying is truly genuine away.

The way he gaze softens for a moment as he looks at Kara’s tear stricken face before it closes off and he attacks her.

I got more of Brainiac’s true thoughts and feelings from his face than his words and I think that is amazing storytelling.

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)

Brainiac’s Fate

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.

Brainiac’s Magical Girl Transformation

It certainly wasn’t on my MAWS S2E8 Bingo card. (And Brainiac unfortunately served in that outfit)

Also why is his waist out like that? (I like it)

Ichigo's reaction at Grimmjow's return

I get Ichigo being shocked Grimmjow is still alive but there is absolutely no reason for Ichigo to seem so tense around him, like at this point Ichigo would have an easier time killing Grimmjow than Aizen would have had in the arrancar arc.

Ichigo flicking his finger at Grimmjow would be enough to kill him. The PTSD must be strong af for Ichigo to seem to tense.

Clark Kent vs Gotham’s Rogues

Superbat Idea

Batman’s enemies find out the Bat has a thing with Metropolis’ reporter Clark Kent. So decide to try to kill him (without success)

He is either always saved by Batman, the shots never land, he survives accidents without problem, the guns used to try to kill him always break or people suffer head injuries before landing their shots.

After so many failed attempts people begin to think Clark is a meta, but with some sort of Luck manipulation ability.

Clark and Bruce catch wind of this and go: task failed successfully I guess.

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?
