traveler-errant replied to your post: Zack Snyder calls Marvel movies flavor of the…

And it was really fuckin’ dark. I don’t mean in tone, I mean in color. Superman is about bright heroism and larger-than-life action and questioning what it means to be “human”. Not about being Batman: Son of Krypton.

Eeyup, and now Warner Bros is calling for more Batman, and more focus on Batman in Batman vs. Superman.  I find it hilarious that Snyder was throwing shade on Marvel for bringing in lesser known characters and making them important and iconic with their own films, when he can’t even capture the spirit of one of the most iconic comic characters of all time.

A part of that may just be DC’s media mindset in general, because they have had a nasty habit of Batman-ing things that don’t need to be Batman-ed (Arrow, Man of Steel).  Snyder said that BvS will do well because the characters are more mythological than bubblegum, because they’re more iconic but that’s as likely to work against him as for him, like it did with Man of Steel.  DC movies of late, and in general, focus SO MUCH on iconography, that they can drift away from fitting the characters they’re showing.

Marvel built their cinematic universe without their most iconic characters.  Prior to their movies, Iron Man was a B-lister, Cap was second class, and Thor was there.  Only the Hulk was really truly iconic, but look how things have changed.  Without Spiderman or the X-men in their arsenal Marvel has made a wildly successful multi-media franchise with twelve movies and 3 series all connected and generally well received.  Had DC not held on to the film rights for Batman or Superman, with their attitude they couldn’t begin to catch up.

Zack Snyder calls Marvel movies flavor of the week, disses Ant-Man and calls BvS mythological and superior.  Really dude?  You’ve made one movie for DC and it was met with EXTREMELY mixed reviews.

If you mix Steven Universe and My Little Pony, you get a fruit.

Who thought taking multiarmed mutants with no head to the hospital was a good idea?  AND HOW DOES ONE MISTAKE ONE FOR A CAR ACCIDENT VICTIM?

‘From beginning’ button added to Papi’s blog, now to work on another update or no?

“Can Discord even do that?  I know he can make ponies with wings or horns into earth ponies, but a swap to changeling? Is that possible?”

Discord has been shown in canon to alter the species of the mane 6 with a snap of his fingers and a whim.  He’s been shown to alter reality, access and interact with different dimensions.  There is no defined limit to his capabilities in the show’s canon, so long as the actions or consequences cause some extent of chaos.

If Twilight can turn 6 grown ponies into Breezies with relatively little effort, Discord can turn one filly into a changeling princess so that she matches the species of her natural mother, especially if it causes some measure of chaos.
