I like to think the spirit of Luna hangs around to advise(read: annoy) Kirk. She's kinda the Professor Stein to his Firestorm.

[torto-isemusings]

do you think that frank times in the war affected his physique like hardening his personality or him suppressing his emotions

By "physique" did you mean psyche? If so then of course Frank's would be affected by war, as every soldier's is. I think, however, that he had it a lot worse than average due to what the country he was so fiercely loyal towards did to his friend/brother(Kirk/"Jesus"). He's seen the horrors the government is capable of, and to think he fought so much to protect that probably sickens him.

May I know who's asking now?

The reason why Snyderbros always complain about us being "mean" is because they aren't equipped to handle a taste of their own medicine. Remember that ;)

So, after watching some playthroughs of the demo of Subliminal(finally!), I have a few predictions for the full game:

1. Dr. Glenn Pierce(I know it's not supposed to be the same character, but he doesn't have a name yet, so for now he's just Dr. Pierce) will turn out to be evil/the villain. The moment you stray from the path he's created you're punished with a monster encounter. There are clearly things he doesn't want Caleb to see and that staying on his intended path will ensure that. Additionally, Max Howarth isn't a stranger to voicing villains. He's Executioner Ballas, for crying out loud!

2. Much like the demo, the full game will have two endings: one where Caleb does everything Dr. Pierce tells him to do, thus never encountering any monsters, but also letting Pierce succeed with whatever he has in mind, and one where Caleb disobeys Pierce at every opportunity, encounters all the monsters, and foils the Doctor's plan.

We'll see if I'm right in...3-4 years? Idk

One last thing: I may have figured out how old Caleb is supposed to be. The scales in the WaterWorks show his weight as 47.2 pounds and, according to the CDC, 47 pounds is in the ballpark of the average weight for a 6 year old boy. So I'm willing to bet that Caleb was about 6 when the memories he's exploring took place.

[torto-isemusings]

Apparently, a new update changed Caleb's weight to 62.8, which would bring his age up to 9.

[torto-isemusings]

As of 2 weeks ago, Caleb's weight has been changed to 64.9 kg(143.08 lbs) which makes him *17* now...idk.

New headcanon: Kirk wears these as part of his secret identity to hide the "stigmata"/holes in his hands

Last Son Pre- and Post-Checkmate comparison

Lemme know if I missed anything

[torto-isemusings]

Things I think would happen if the Fictionalized!Nixonverse were real

The Alcatraz Checkmate would be treated similarly to the Crisis on Infinite Earths, separating things into Pre- and Post-Checkmate

People would ship the Knight and the Son like they do SuperBat and call it something like AlcaKnight

Will add if I think of any more

[torto-isemusings]

[torto-isemusings]

Random thought: Why do humans insist on monogamy if half the time we can't even handle it?

[torto-isemusings]

wgat do you think that the knight and luna relationship could bê If they meet in a more calma way,could It be similar to his relationship with the son is

I guess if Luna hadn't kidnapped his...friend? Brother? Something else? idk, but if she hadn't done that or tried to take over the world maybe she and the Knight would have...tolerated each other, you know what I mean?

[torto-isemusings]

My take on the Evolution of the Last Son

[torto-isemusings]

I just like him, is all

[torto-isemusings]

The Last Son stops in on the World Nightly offices, within which are Alice Avenue, her boss, and a colleague. 1948

(Edit by me)

[torto-isemusings]

Hey, do you think the Nixonverse could be at peace if the Last Son didn't get captured, or if it could still be in a bad situation?

If the Last Son/Kirk wasn't captured by the government, I think he and the Knight would have pretty standard "World's Finest" adventures together. Maybe the Vietnam War wouldn't have lasted as long and "Bethlenam" wouldn't have been created. The House in the Ocean wouldn't have been a thing, the Lunarian invasion could be prevented...yeah, I think the world would've been much better off had Kirk not been captured.

[torto-isemusings]

hey if you don't mind,did you like the new Superman movie what you think about it

I'm gonna confess that I've never seen it the whole way through, but I think it's cool! Not perfect, but not completely terrible either.

I love Clark, I really do! He's flawed and relatable in a good way. He genuinely cares so much about everyone around him, even animals!

Like a lot of people, I think the characterization of Jor-El and Lara could've been a lot better. For me, it ruins the Moses allegory that Superman was meant to be. How I would've handled it was to have Lex's translation be a lie (because it's Lex, what else would you expect?), and have the real message say that all Jor-El and Lara wanted was for their son to live a good life.

That being said, overall I like Superman '25 and I'm excited to see what happens next in Man of Tomorrow!
