DCU General Discussion Thread

I found a VFX article for The Suicide Squad that actually mentions a height for Starro:

In creating Starro — a 150 ft. tall alien starfish — Weta VFX supervisor Guy Williams explains that early design had him a bit more slender, but in the end, the filmmakers made him “more chunky and massive so that you buy it as a real legitimate creature. It feels like it has muscles and underlying structures.”

Would this drastically impact his GPE?
Yeah it should drastically increase it from the 13m stuff we have now legit that makes starro 45m tall so it should get a decent increase
 
If I see someone say that baby is planetary or whatever, I'm gonna cause an international crisis.
 
Let's see if I can find Starro's GPE at 150 feet by plugging that into the existing formula currently used for him:

150 feet=45.72 meters

GPE=(45.72/0.2)^4x9.611441676

GPE=26247832089 joules

GPE=6.273382430449401 tons (High 8-C)

Oh...

Oh...
The Kaiju from Superman is a little underweight too which is kinda what ***** the GPE on that because it should be way higher as well, I'll probably just calc it myself
 
who the hell knows why he does shit half the time but, at least it’s MHS. where is it stated it’s the fortress is in Antarctica. are u sure it doesn’t say arctic instead?
I'm not asking anything, the text is literally how the link copied for me when I sent it, all of that is just the article copy and paste😭

Anyways they say Antarctica in the movie and specifically mention how he's violation laws in doing so
 
Haven't seen the movie yet, and Im not even sure if this is a big deal to the overall story, but the
Jor-El thing is..odd
 
Saw the movie. 9/10. Dio get your ass off the throne of pettiest, it goes to Lex Luthor now.

Notable feats are his speed being able to zip around from antartica to metropolis in couple of minutes, lifting a Kaiju and last but not the least, Overcoming the pull off a blackhole with his super breath while heavily weakened.

With Kara being all happy go lucky, it is a little odd for Kal's first reaction to seeing her after the revelation as anything but anger or great confusion

That green thing could also resist the pull of a black hole.
 
This is the first movie of this universe tbf, he could always get much better feats, although I doubt it
oh wait this was about slamming this movie Superman? that's wild genuinely ofc they mog him 😭 but nah I do imagine better feats as we move forward but even so starting with 8-B+ and several High 8-C support feats with consistently good speed and LS is fine by me

Ig for reference from other live action Superman's debuts he isn't far off from the lower end stuff the others have in their debuts
Superman and Lois episode 1 of S1 started with 8-A, Class G, and MHS+ feats
Man of Steel was 7-C+ to high 6-A, Sub-Rel to Rel+, and Class K to Z
Smallville was like 9-B, Subsonic ~ Supersonic, and Peak Human in its debut

so I mean ya know its all about presentation, I don't mind a tier 8 Superman but I don't see any reason why he can't get any higher as things move forward (he already has scaling metas that are above the 8-B+ in this movie)
 
Is there anything in the new movie putting him on par with Cavill's superman?
 
Kinda figured. I was arguing with a friend about the BH scene and why it isn't impressive.
yeah it blows and its further than what people make it out to be, if you want tier 5 there is a meta where since blue beetle is light canon if we consider the opening scene where a green lantern impacts the scarab with the scarab blasting a planet away after ricocheting from the impact. You can use that off site to scale it to green lantern thus upscaling Superman to Brown Dwarf level (on wiki the best you could get is probably possibly but I don't think it works since Gunn clearly said he ain't near planet level)

Oh...
make sure to blog the recalc for Starro btw
 
Oh we are defeintly getting good feats in later installment. Gunn wanted to keep this movie closer to emotions rather than action but if you see his other movies, he enjoys big spectacles just as much.

He does cosmic stuff pretty well take Ego for example or the celestials. New Gods and so on is where I would put my bet on. Plus Lanterns will most likely be set in space so if they fly around space we can look at a very easy MFTL+ upgrade here.

Nope Lanterns is a primarily earth based series for this first season so I wouldn't count on it unless we do get random space action but regardless I do feel ya

I don't think we won't see Oa atleast once in a green lantern series. Maybe more of that Dimensional Imp stuff. Like creatures from Space or other Dimensions.

I gotta say regardless of Superman's feats, Lex literally got a basket of Top tier feats in his sector.

  • Biological knowledge for creating clones and kaiju's.
  • Creating a Pocket Universe and nanites.
  • Manipulation of the whole world against Superman with social and political manuvering (and acutally a good rational plan. not just "It was all part of my plan" credit stealing BS like Sister Sage)
  • Not to mention the martial arts and tactical knowledge for coming up with 2500 moves for every scenario against Superman.

The pocket universe feat is so good we are going to Extraordinary genius levels (maybe, I was never sure how intelligence scaling worked)
 
I wonder if Bloodsport putting superman in the ICU is canon to this universe. Considering they don't have Kryptonite I doubt it.

How the hell did he get Cavil's Supes anyway, he is consistently on par with Flash.
 
Talking about earlier movies. Technically Blue Beetle is the first DCU movie. As it is canon to DCU. Meaning a Green lantern damaged the Beetle, said Beetle tanked it's own Brown Dwarf star level attack. Superman is stronger than Guy, a green lantern.

Thus, henceforth proven Superman > Brown Dwarf level
