Creature Commandos! Peacemaker! Suicide Squad! James Gunn movies! Blue Beetle! DC Absolute Universe! Legion of Super-Heroes! We are so Back.

Hello hello! My name is Mick. I'm relaunching this blog as a Gunnverse fan blog. All DC Universe movies and definitely some LOSH and Absolute Universe (AU) too. I am a DC Universe stan till I die. James Gunn stated the first DC Universe film is Blue Beetle. He is lying to the uninitiated. Many fans will argue the first Gunnverse movie is The Suicide Squad (2021). They are wrong and ignorant. The first movie canon to the DC Universe is Suicide Squad (2016). The following list encompasses every movie directly canon to the DC Universe;

Suicide Squad (2016)

Aquaman (2018)

Shazam! (2019)

Joker (2019)

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Peacemaker S1 (2022)

Black Adam (2022)

Blue Beetle (2023)

Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023)

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023)

Joker: Folie à Deux (2024)

Creature Commandos (2024)

Do not send me headcanons. But please send questions. I will answer. I will randomly post my theories about the DC Universe movies, Absolute Universe (AU), and Justice League Unlimited.

Hey guys. Ive been gone for so long. I dont think ill be posting again soon. But I wanted to give you an update. Im getting married next month. My job is difficult but I am making a difference and making good money. I am very happy to be able to write a correspondence with Grant Morrison now that I pay for their substack. This is such an indulgence for me and I will always fanboy out over them. Me and my friend Mike will be doing a YouTube podcast soon. Ill link that here when it materializes. I will finally be clinically screened for autism the week after I get married. I cant wait. My therapist is sure I have it but it is important to see where on the spectrums my symptoms lie. I just recently figured out I have mysophonia. Now I have various noise-canceling headphones and earplugs. Caring for my sensory needs is great. Helps me not be a pill to those around me. I can be my happy and helpful self. Ive been getting into meditation, eastern philosophy, and I decided Mercury is my patron God. Ive had mystical experiences when I was Pentecostal. Then I understood it as just in my head. Grant Morrison is like yeah gods are just altered states of consciousness. I think thats far out. So I just been drinking caffeine on Wednesdays and meditate on Mercury. Im very new to this stuff but I think I contacted Mercury, Ganesh, and Metron. Like really I experienced the panel where Metron touched the forehead of Anthro in Final Crisis from Anthro's perspective. I dunno its all kind of silly and meaningful at the same time. I maintain that is all imaginary but useful at the same time. I have a lot of childhood trauma to work through. But by all accounts I am making progress and shedding old patterns that no longer serve me. I think I maintained rationalism for a 30 years of my life. But I reached a point where I realized that the world around me is rational but my mind that perceives it will always be irrational, with emotions, hormones, and stress. So I can stop lying to myself that I am always being reasonable and just try to work with the fact that I have an irrational, relative awareness of what's happening. I find jungian stuff helping me now. That and somatic breathwork. But anyway I love you guys. The good times are incredible here. The bad times are meaningful. Thats where im at. Keep on keeping on.

EL SUPERIOR (THE SUPERMAN)

Humble Mayan farmer with great abilities, Decides to move to the big city of Tenochtitlán undercover as a scribe. So he can protect people from the government's injustices, and from new foreign conquistadores like Lexington Lutero and Lord Maximiliano. The Spanish fear him and avoid battles and areas he has been located. His abilities of flight and raining fire along with snow has earned him the reputation of a demon or witch haunting the Spanish's "Holy Mission" to sanctify the New World.

Let's not forget the Who reason for the season. Who Jesus Christ, who died for their Who sins. Which implies there was a Who Crusade to reclaim the Who Holy Lands.

Piping hot take: I don't give a shit if straight actors play queer characters as long as they do so with empathy and authenticity. When you say shit like "only queer actors should play queer characters" what you're actually saying is only OUT queer actors should play queer characters. If you're assuming an actor (or anyone else, for that matter) who hasn't declared their sexuality is straight, you are participating in heteronormativity.

[saltedweather]

you're also saying that you, as an audience member, are entitled to private and intimate details of actors' personal lives, fwiw.

if you ever read any interview with Tim Curry, he's always very clear about finding this absurd. we all pretty much assume Tim Curry is queer, but we'll never know, because he has absolutely point-blank refused to discuss his dating life with the public or the media, because it's nobody's business but his (and anyone he's dating ofc).

it's also like--

some of you younger folk really need to go watch the documentary on Paul Reubens. "Peewee as Himself." Like, the context might help a little? for why so many of us who grew up before Obergefell et al really, really, really fucking hate this narrative where the public has a right to every single facet and detail of an actor's life? especially a queer actor?

actors, musicians, comedians, entertainers, etc., don't owe their audiences jack fucking shit about their personal lives. we can all get over that absurd entitlement any time.

I was just talking with my partner about this a few weeks ago.

Lee Pace is similarly an incredibly private man. For a long time we the public knew absolutely nothing about his dating life or anything about his family outside of little bits and pieces he shared, and even that was deliberately as vague as possible.

He played a trans woman in Soldier's Girl. It's based on a true story, and he actually met with the trans woman his character is based on. During the interview, he said something to the effect of having several stark realizations about himself after working with her and learning her story and her journey and her life.

I make the joke that anyone transgender heard the distinct sound of an egg cracking during that interview. And yet, Pace did not come out. Not until he was forced to, years later.

As, simply, "queer".

We now know he is married to a man. We know he identifies as queer, mostly because he was forced to by an interviewer who has a reputation for forcing very private celebrities to come out or risk losing status. We know he has dated men and women. By his own admission that playing Calpernia gave him very strong gender feelings and he saw a lot of himself both in the fictionalized character he played and in the real woman whose presence he was wow'd by.

Lee Pace might be a trans woman who has found it better to boymode for the sake of an acting career. Lee Pace might be a trans woman who avidly does not want to invite a spotlight into that part of his life- and who could blame him? Lee Pace might be an egg who has just barely started to crack, peeked out from beyond the shell and is not yet comfortable leaving the closet. Or Pace might be nonbinary, genderqueer, gay-as-gender, or... simply a cis gay man who feels it is nunya and enjoys being a little fruity and feminine in his spare time.

I don't claim to know the inner workings of Pace's mind, sexuality, or gender. But I do think that it would be wrong to force Pace to share what he clearly is not comfortable sharing for the entire world to see.

When it comes to celebrities who are respectful and also private, I don't think it is a bad thing if what we as fans know about them doesn't quite match up with the demographic they're playing. Sometimes, there's a reason they found a piece of themselves in the role. And especially when it has the blessing of the real life person that role is based on (such as in the case of Calpernia) or of the real life LGBT people working with that celeb every day - maybe the people directly involved with this know more about this person than we do watching from the other side of the screen.

I think iron man deserves to be on the superhero Mount Rushmore. As much as the others are cooler (not imo) and more influential in the comics. Iron man redefined what a superhero movie was. It wasn't just an actor in a black spy outfit with darker color versions of their original suit. He literally redefined a medium and made superheros a little less lame to the average person. I think that amount of change is commendable

[theblanddcu2021]

Respect where respect is due.
