The Nuclear Apocalypse of Superman: Book 1 (Chap. 1)

Hi guys. This is my first time updating a novel on Tumblr, a long fan fiction about Superman and his tragic but arousing experiences. It’s a very long story, and I plan to tell it in at least three books. The first book (which has 12 chapters) is already complete, and the second book is currently in the works. Starting this week, I will be updating a version with images every Friday on Tumblr. I hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimer: This is a reimagined fan fiction of the movie Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. While most main characters from the film are retained, the entire plot has been reimagined to suit the nature of this work. It is an erotic fan fiction intended for mature readers, featuring male/male relationships and explicit content. This work is non-commercial. In this story, most of the images are derived from movie. I have tried to use photos from the Reeve Superman movies to maintain authenticity, but there are also some high-quality AI-generated images. I do not own these images.

*You can share or repost but please credit @superslaveman on Tumblr or X :)

Acknowledgments: I’d like to express my gratitude to Rick Henry, author of The Extermination of Superman, and @vincentzeal, author of Superman vs. the Vice Lord. Their writing and body of work have been a significant source of inspiration. Special thanks to Drake Grant for his ideas and help in revising the story.

Chapter 1: An Ominous Dream

Thousands of miles from any place humans could reach, a massive crystalline, pyramid-shaped structure stands in solitude on a vast ice sheet. Surrounded by towering snow-covered mountains that shield it from the blizzards raging in every direction, this immense crystal formation has remained untouched and unknown for years, at least as far as we're aware. Its flawless triangular shape makes it clear that it was not built by human hands. Hundreds of conical crystals, each about 5 meters wide and 40 meters tall, rise from the ground, forming a shell-like wall around the structure. They reflect sunlight and the icy glow of snow and icicles, gleaming like diamonds on a frozen crown.

It's a shame that no man on earth had the chance to appreciate the beauty of it except…

''Agggggh… Hmmm…''

A wet, echoing moan filled the empty crystal palace. The crystal walls reflected a distorted, writhing figure in blurry red and blue, shifting like a kaleidoscope, moving up and down in sync with the rhythm of the moans.

Oh, there he was. A towering 6'4'' man, built like a statue of pure muscle, lay sprawled on a massive crystal bed draped in silver silk sheets. Every inch of his overly manly physique was wrapped in a skintight royal blue spandex suit that stretched from his neck to his toes, emblazoned with the iconic ''S'' symbol on his broad chest. His body radiated power—the fabric clings to him so tightly it outlines every ripple of his chiseled muscles. His chest rises like two sculpted slabs of marble. But not like those steroid-addicted bodybuilders, they are pumped and firm, but still somehow gave you a cuddly and warm feeling. With the spandex clinging so tightly on his chest, even the subtle outline of his firm, two cute nipples were visible beneath the fabric. They sat perfectly cantered on his broad pecs, adding a surprising softness to his otherwise overwhelmingly powerful physique.

His arms were nothing short of awe-inspiring, thick, vascular biceps bulge with raw strength. His thighs were strong, solid, and brimming with power, the spandex stretching over them like a second skin, tracing every contour of his sculpted quads and hamstrings. A pair of glossy, bright red leather boots gripped his calves, ankles, and feet with such precision that even the arch of his soles was visible through the smooth, form-fitting material.

And his red cape. It bunched beneath him, highlighting the sheen of his blue suit and the bulging muscles beneath, a perfect contrast to the crystalline surroundings.

As the crystal walls let the refraction of daylights go inside, a trace of nearly white reflection of polar sunlight converged on his spandex skin stretching from his chest to his instep but being cut off in the middle by a bright yellow belt and a pair of dazzling red briefs. His red briefs, the symbol of hope, the avatar of the greatest manhood. It looked even more luxurious than the fabric of his blue spandex, so silky that can make people mistaken it was coated with a light layer of lubricating oil, so tight that covered every inch of his majestic crotch and cup his splendid scrotum. However, no matter how hard this piece of fabric tried to hide his assets, all it could do was to outline the contours of a 6-inch-long, 3.5-inch-thick, half soft, half hard, alien shaft and two testicles.

As his strong right hand casually rubbed over the glans of this wondrous pillar-like thing through silky spandex, a smile started to appear on his handsome face. His eyes were closed, sleeping, with his eyelashes gently touching the lower eyelid. Even he had a look of soft angel, no less than a boy Venus, it didn't mean that he doesn't have a tall nose, an angular jaw, and a cleft chin like the Greek demigod Hercules or a golden age Hollywood movie star. When his left hand unconsciously moved above his stunning pecs and brushes over the nipples, the hair curl atop his forehead began to tremble with his body quivering. In the crystal mirror directly above him, the image reflected the greatest and most beautiful creature in the world unapologetically wearing a suit of revealing blue tights and bright briefs, sleeping.

In his dream, the demigod muttered ''I am…Superman ''.

Yes, meet Superman, Kal-El. The man of steel. The big blue boy scout. The last son of Krypton.

What was Superman dreaming of right now? No, let's not disturb his sweet time. We can talk about his dream later.

To be frank, it's not every day you get to see Superman shamelessly pleasuring himself while asleep. For many people, it's easier to imagine Clark Kent as Superman than to imagine Superman doing something so animalistic. But even with the former, it's almost impossible to make any connection with the greatest hero on earth with Clark Kent, a kind, righteous, sometimes bumbling even cringey reporter from Daily Planet in Metropolis. Yes, he wears the tights and boots underneath his daily business suit. Unknown to anyone else, Clark had a peculiar thrill when he slipped on his business suit, knowing the bright, tight spandex of his costume lay hidden beneath. There was something oddly arousal about the contrast—how he, the world's most powerful hero, could walk unnoticed through a crowd as just a clumsy, bumbling reporter. He didn't admit it or he probably never would, but cosplaying that clown-like inept wimp did give him a tingle in his pants. Every time he became a laughingstock in public, that boner hidden under layers of fabric told it all. Besides, the thought that no one had any clue that underneath his dress shirt and tie, he was wearing his iconic red briefs and skin-tight suit gave him a secret rush. The Kryptonian suit is so tight that can press his large genital and cause slight discomfort when he must sit through the whole day typing. But somehow, he didn't mind it at all and loved his daily practice, wearing that overly tight spandex 24/7.

You see, it's the only thing he can have for himself. The sensation from the pressure on his crotch.

Superman rarely gave himself a moment to relax, but that didn't mean he wasn't still Clark Kent at heart. He kept that pure, honest soul of a country boy, always kind and true. Still, even with all his heroics, he couldn't ignore the growing stir of desires and needs inside him. They were there, lurking, waiting for a chance to be acknowledged.

Yes, everyone has their own needs for Superman, but when it comes to the needs of Superman, only he knew how hard he had to fight back. Mind-boggling to the human on earth but common sense to Kryptonians, Superman, same as every male on Krypton, has prolific testicles and a reproduction system that could drive any human insane.

Growing up, Clark Kent often felt like the universe had a cruel sense of humor. On the one hand, his Kryptonian father, Jor-El, had left behind a legacy of impossibly rigid lessons about purity of heart and body—no shortcuts, no indulgences, no exceptions. Clark learned, through countless holographic lectures in the Fortress of Solitude, that his so-called ''Supercum'' (a term he'd begrudgingly coined for himself) was the source of his immense power. Enhanced by the Sun's yellow radiation, it was what made him extraordinary. But there was a terrifying catch: if he ever released it recklessly, he risked losing his abilities—or worse, his life. Self-control wasn't just a virtue; it was survival.

On the other hand, Jonathan Kent, his adoptive dad, was just as strict, always going on about self-control and how heroes had to set the ultimate example, even in private. Back to the time when Clark first discovered his true identity and put on the Superman suit, Jonathan caught him standing in front of the mirror in the middle of night, dressed in his boy scout costume, playing with his young bulge, feeling the touch from his own hands rubbing again his own peephole covered under red fabric. That night, Jonathan froze in the doorway, stunned by what he saw. Clark, overwhelmed by shame and tears, crumpled under the weight of his father's disapproval. Clark's shame was instant and so overwhelming. But it wasn't his father's anger or stern lecture on responsibility that left a scar—it was the look of sheer disappointment and disgust in Jonathan's eyes. That moment, more than anything, etched itself into Clark's memory, shaping his relentless quest to suppress his own humanity for the sake of an impossible ideal.

Since then, he was a deeply broken-hearted man. At nearly 30, Superman had never been in love, never had a romantic partner, and was pretty sure he never would. Over time, Superman's constant effort to suppress his desires slowly turned into something else—narcissism. When he had a moment alone, he'd catch himself admiring his own reflection, spending longer than he'd care to admit running his hands over his sculpted muscles. His physique was a work of art, and in a way, it felt like the only thing he could truly connect with. He flexed his arm, he kissed his ''S'' shield, he licked his red shinning boots, and he played his erected alien stick with his firm hands.

This self-admiration gradually grew into something more. He started noticing how drawn he was to other strong, muscular figures same as him—especially the well-built athletes he'd seen in passing. What began as harmless admiration turned into a bit of a lustful crush on strength, muscle, and the young throbbing dicks containing the white creamy substance, which almost took his soul away even he just thought about it. Sure, he'd had his moments of secret voyeurism, flying unseen around the globe, lurking around countless locker rooms and being fascinated by the bodies of college wrestlers, gym enthusiasts, and water polo players. With his X-ray vision, he had a front-row seat to their toned physiques. He'd often linger, curious, watching them without anyone knowing.

Yet, despite his search—across continents and through countless encounters—he never found anyone who could match his own power. No one came close. The yearning for connection, for someone who could understand the weight of his existence, grew more intense with every passing day. But the fear of revealing his desires, of exposing his vulnerability, kept him locked in isolation, trapped between his overwhelming need for companionship and the overwhelming responsibility of defending justice and hope as he carried as Superman.

Over time, Superman's deep ache of desire slowly transformed into something darker, more twisted, and increasingly dangerous.

It was almost like the vision haunting him now in his dream: a thick steel necklace that caught the light in an unsettling, cold way, with a green alien stone attached to it, glowing with an eerie, ominous fluorescence.

Kryptonite.

It was a gift he would never forget. Nearly three years ago, Superman encountered his most diabolical enemy yet: Lex Luthor, the powerful businessman who ran Metropolis's most influential corporation, LexCorp. It was the first time Superman had realized that a simple human, armed with nothing but a small piece of green rock, could actually threaten his life.

Secretly, Lex Luthor had acquired a piece of green meteorite from NASA, claiming it was a terrestrial material from Superman's home planet, which he later identified as Kryptonite. Over the course of six months, Lex brought together the brightest minds on Earth—scientists and engineers who worked tirelessly around the clock to understand the true nature of this mysterious substance. After much trial and error, Lex was able to purify the Kryptonite and, through extensive testing, discovered its true power.

The radiation from Kryptonite didn't just weaken Superman—it altered the very mechanisms of his sperms. Instead of enhancing his strength, the Kryptonite's radiation caused Superman's sperms to turn on him, attacking his organs, draining his energy, and inflicting excruciating pain. If he were exposed for too long, the result would be catastrophic—his cells would begin to break down, leading to the collapse of his body. The potential consequences were more severe and shocking than even Lex had anticipated.

''Your very own necklace, Superman. I bet it's the perfect gift—something that almost makes you feel at home.'' The words echoed, a haunting fragment of memory, as the scene solidified in Superman's dream. It was Lex Luthor's voice, sharp and mocking, slicing through the haze.

In the dream, memories hit him with vivid, unbearable clarity. It was Luthor's dungeon, and there was the Kryptonite necklace placed inside a lead box. He could feel it all again—the sickening nausea spreading through his body, the overwhelming pain that surged with every pulse of his being. He remembered staggering back, his instincts screaming at him to flee, to get as far away as possible from Luthor's trap. But his legs refused to obey, his movements jerky and uncoordinated. Fear took hold, paralyzing him as his limbs quaked uncontrollably.

The humiliation was crushing. Desperation replaced his once-unshakable resolve, and a single, shameful thought consumed him: to beg. To plead for mercy. To kneel. Anything to make it stop—to put an end to Luthor's cruel game. His knees buckled, knocking together awkwardly beneath his trembling tights, each step faltering.

''Mind over muscles'', Lex had said, waving the glowing green stone in his hands, grinning as he placed the chain around Superman's neck. Now, he even couldn't tell if it was dream or reality. Although sleeping sound, he literally felt like a bullet piercing through his chest as the Kryptonite necklace touched on his skintight spandex costumes, making him cry out like a salty dog just got run over by a truck. Powerless then, he had felt Luthor's hands all over his body, touching him over his spandex, teasing him, toying with him, like jiggling human-size jello. As the criminal master dragged him along, Superman had sensed that his little Supes in his briefs was howling, growing, and creaming. With no warning, Lex took hold of Superman's nipples, tweaking them through the smooth spandex. A strong pinch made the big boy scout cry out a disgraceful scream. Then, a strong cupping hands wrapped around superman's balls. Almost like a sponge, as Lex Luthor squeezed with his nails sunk into that freaky alien's ballsack, Superman's peehole started leaking precum like a spread of pearls forming on top of the red spandex.

The echo of humiliating moans and agonized screams reverberated through Superman's dream. As the dream unfolded, the scene shifted, growing darker and more vivid. Lex, ever the master of manipulation, gripped Superman's red cape with a sinister smile curling at the edges of his lips. But what fills Kal-El's mind was something else: the overwhelming sensation, the long-awaited gratification he was feeling when Lex played him, belittled him, and toyed him.

Without warning, Lex yanked the Man of Steel toward the edge of a massive, ominous pool. The surface shimmered in the dim light; its contents unknown but exuding an unsettling stench. Superman's pulse quickened, his breath shallow and ragged. Every fiber of his being screamed to fight back, to resist, but his strength was sapped, drained by the relentless presence of Kryptonite.

Suddenly, Lex strangled Superman with his iconic red cape around his neck. As Superman opened his mouth to the fullest, trying to grasp some air, Lex pulled out a 7-inch rob-shaped Kryptonite stone from his back and stuffed it into Superman's throat directly with no hesitation. White foam started to overflow from Superman's mouth as tears running down his face. His fully erect penis was throbbing, pushing against his blue tights and ref brief, the wet patch of precum now bigger and more obvious than ever with white foam bubbling on the shining fabrics.

The faint murmurs filled the dungeon, each sound a grim mix of agony and climax. His body had grown heavy with exhaustion. The struggle to stay conscious became unbearable as the seconds dragged on. His pupils dilated, his vision blurring, and with each passing moment, his strength faded until there was nothing left to fight with.

Then, with a final, relentless shove, his nemesis pushed him forward, a move that sent Superman reeling. He tried to look back, eyes wide with fear, as his heart raced in desperation. But it was too late. Lex's boot connected with his hip, forcing him further toward the edge. With nothing to hold onto, Superman tumbled into the depths of the pool of waste, his body plunging like a stone, sinking into the dark, cold waters below.

… Why would Superman have such a dream? How will his fate change because of it?

Stay tuned for the second chapter, updated at the same time next week...

Here's why I'm still unimpressed with the Wicked movie trailer

A while ago I made a post explaining my thoughts on the Wicked teaser trailer. A lot of it was mostly negative due to the poor CGI, acting, lines etc... Well the official trailer dropped and I've got some new thoughts both good and bad. This is going to be way longer than my last post because I'm going to go into detail about why I think this movie won't live up to the musical by comparing it to other movies and musicals. I'll also be talking about some scenes from the featurette.

THIS IS JUST MY OPINION SO FAR ON WHAT WE SEE IF YOU LIKE THE TRAILER OR LIKE ANY OF THE ACTORS THEN DON'T GET YOUR PANTIES IN A TWIST MY WORD ISN'T GOSPEL NOR IS IT MY FINAL OPINION ON THE MOVIE.

Starting off with things I liked:

I'm actually starting to warm up to Cynthia as Elphaba. In my last post I argued I didn't entirely see her as Elphaba mainly because it was obvious she's a thirty seven year old playing an eighteen year old. While I still believe she doesn't pass for younger Elphie and her simple "I am" comeback is weak, hearing more of her lines and performance is actually on point with Elphaba's character. I wouldn't be against her revisiting Elphaba on stage after the movie. Bottom line: I think she's a great singer and am happy a fellow WOC is playing Elphie.

Holy shit that witch cackle gave me goosebumps. It might be the editing and sound in the trailer that makes me feel that way so we'll have to see when it happens in the movie.

Michelle Yeoh???? Like hello? Although she seems more toned down compared to the campy personality MM has on stage, she plays the role of the evil villain quite well. (I'm sad she had to stop using her beautiful Malaysian accent ;_; I hope it was by her choice and not by the choice of the executives.)

Some set designs look quite nice. I'm particularly curious about the scene where The Wizard is dancing around a full size diorama of Oz.

The effects of the grimmerie are quite neat. I despise the new shape of the book, but I think it's cool how instead of going for some floating colorful lights to pass as "look magic oooo", they're going for the spells to be coming out of the pages. Very unique.

And now, on to the negative. This is where I'll be comparing some of the shots and scenes of the trailer to other movies and parts of the musical.

I hate hate hate the CGI. You don't understand I absoultely for forever deeply truly LOATHE the CGI. It cheapens the movie and all that talk and show about how they built up the sets and rainbows showing over their productions goes all out the window when I see those flying monkeys.

Let's talk good CGI vs rushed CGI.

First off I do not blame the VFX artists for this movie looking the way it does so far. VFX artists are one of the most overworked and underpaid workers in the film industry who have to pump out content in a short amount of time. It is also not their fault that audiences are tired of seeing overdone CGI movies every month. It's part of the reason why the Wicked teaser trailer got so much hate when it came out (on top of Ari/🧽, reactionary bros, etc...)

The CGI (mostly in the Emerald City) looks AI generated. Most of my issues with it come from the effects looking poorly rendered. Elphaba flying looks obviously fake. I know they recently touched up some of these scenes but honestly it doesn't make a difference to me at all in quality.

If John Chu and the team behind this movie really cared about this like they insist they do, it wouldn't hurt to take time with the effects. When you do so, you get mind blowing results like this:

Onto other effects: The flying monkeys don't look great. They look poorly rendered along with the rest of the effects. For that I wish they would've stuck to practical effects like Pan's Labyrinth did or literally any character Doug Jones plays like down below.

Heck, even the musical does a better job:

I seriously encourage you to watch B T S footage of Wicked to see how insane and amazing this effect is. Once you see it, you'll realize just how bad the movie fucked up on this.

Bottom line: movies that take their time with CGI effects and utilize other methods like practical effects before leaving everything up to post have better results than your run of the mill CGI Marvel or DC blockbuster.

I'm still not feeling Arianna as Glinda. Before you fans eat me up alive I need to say again I don't hate her and even like some of the stuff she puts out there. This critique is not a reflection on who she is as a person because I don't know her personally. With that out of the way I still cannot stand her Glinda impression. "But Lilli!" You say. "You said you didn't like Ari as Glinda because she's not giving Glinda but she's doing Glinda's voice!" And I stand by that. She's not giving Glinda. She's giving Kristen Chenoweth. You might think that's the whole point of playing Glinda but let me ask you; When you watch Megan Hilty as Glinda, did you think she was imitating KC to the bone? What about Kendra Kassebaum? Ginna Claire Mason or McKenzie Kurtz? Did you think KC was imitating Billie Burke? Or were all of them doing their own interpretations of Glinda that made the character unique to themselves and not a copycat version of the original? Because I argue that's what makes every Glinda special and unique from the previous actress who played her. Doing a copycat rendition of KC makes me believe you have no faith in yourself as an actor and you are incapable of playing character that's been done before without having to copy the source material beat for beat. Because of this, I still cannot seperate Ari the pop star from Glinda The Good.

This point has less to do with Ari as Glinda in the movie and more as what she's doing to promote the movie. I have no idea where else to rant about it but here. I hate hate HATE how Arianna is making this movie and Glinda her ENTIRE personality. She acts like she's part of this fandom yet never interacts with anyone in it (unless its directly involves her) and it all feels so... artificial and money grabbing. Someone please tell me I'm not alone. Like girl please call me when you read and write fanfic on AO3 and get three kudos on your multichap fic lol.

DTL: Again I ask, WHY IS THIS MOVIE SO DARK? DTL is meant to be in a ballroom with tons of bright lights and projections. This ballroom looks so dark and depressing. I'm not thinking "let's dance because dust is what we come to" I'm thinking "turn me into dust already." When I saw Elphaba putting that hat on in the teaser trailer, I thought that was a scene in defying gravity. John Chu failed this scene which makes me angry because I this is my favorite scene in the musical.

Adding on to DTL, we have to talk about the scene where Elphaba and Glinda establish their friendship. If you know this scene in the musical (which duh) you'll know that this is where Glinda realizes that she did a horrible thing to Elphie and wants to make things right, even if it means putting her reputation in the gutter in front of her friends. I know this is an edited trailer so we won't know for sure how the full scene plays out in the final movie, but Glinda immediately going for a hug before they start dancing threw me off guard. At this point, they still aren't best friends because Elphaba doesn't realize that Glinda is sorry for what she did, their relationship is only now starting to build up. Let me ask you, what do you think makes a scene more impactful? Glinda hesitantly and nervously walking up to interupt Elphaba doing a solo dance and then cutting in to make her feel less alone, which eventually leads to all while making them ease up around each other as the song and dance progresses OR Glinda rushing into a bear hug with Elphaba before they even establish them making amends on the dance floor? One seems like a slow burn that tugs at your heartstrings while the other feels like a cheap attempt to get some kind of emotional response from the audience? (Then again not sure how this scene will play in movie but it's not looking good right now)

Final point, why is Elphaba crying during this scene? I get she's just been put through public humiliation and is just now getting an act of kindness from someone but don't you think it's too soon to show her in such a vulnerable position? One of the things about Elphaba in both the musical and books is that she's built a wall of apathy around her because she's been judged her whole life and doesn't care how other people percive her. We don't see her breakdown in the musical until Nessa's death because she's been forced to stay strong her entire life. Maybe at the earliest, we'll see her tear up during defying gravity but I'd argue that's a part of the actress playing her and not the character herself.

I hate how this trailer has been edited to make Arianna look like the protagonist. I get she's bringing in a large audience, but she's playing the secondary character, not the main one. It just pisses me that the protagonist (who is a WOC) has to be in the shadow of the white woman. It almost makes me believe they're doing it because they're more worried people would be offended at the prospect of a POC being a leading role.

The main actors still look way too mature to be playing their characters. I spoke about this already. I don't buy any of these adults (with the exception of Marissa Bode) as college freshmen.

Still hate that riff at the end of defying gravity and that after all the backlash, they're still going with it. I also can't believe some of you are defending it to the death and acting like Cynthia Fucking Erivo can't do a better take than what she gave. (Yes, I know every Elphaba does a different take on the riff and we all have our favorite ones but I'm going to say something that is controversial yet brave: Not every riff that every Elphaba does is great. Some of them are range from underwhelming to straight up bad) Here's a reddit post I found that better explains my gripe with the riff since I'm bad at explaining musical terms:

Costume and makeup design is still atrocious. I'm sorry, but the low effort looking costumes cannot hold up to the extravagance and camp the stage has. They should've brought Susan Hilferty back. Look at Elphaba's act 2 dress and the dress movie Elphaba wears and tell me you're not disappointed.

Adding on, why does everything look modern, including the makeup? Arianna using her brand of makeup in the movie doesn't impress me when she's using a modern day mascara wand over her wispy falsies in a 1900's inspired society when she should be using one of these:

Like... come on? Can you imagine a scene of Glinda doing her makeup while she's ranting to Elphaba about how men (except for darling Fifi of course <3) are so entitled and disrespectful and in the middle of her sentence, she just SPITS on her mascara cake, scrubs the brush like she's scrubbing the floor and does her lashes? Iconic honestly.

Adding on to the makeup looking modernized, I'm not a fan of Elphaba's modernized makeup either. It could be the deaging filter they added on everyone older than thirty but one thing that stood out to me is they used 90's era lip liner on her. I'm much aware if you're darker skinned, you will often times need to use a liner in order to blend in parts around your mouth that are darker in comparison to your lips. Counterpoint however:

They could've easily used a dark lipstick post-Popular like they already do. The 1900's era mostly used a single shade of lip color anyways. And no, I don't want to hear from any of you how none of this matters because Oz is an advanced society or some half assed excuse why it's totally okay they didn't care about the miniscule details while they cared about the number of tulips used in Munchkinland for NMTW. (also note: Oz was considered an advanced society FOR THE TIME IT WAS CREATED. Meaning they weren't envisioning the future items we have now like a mascara wand) If they allowed Arianna to use her own brand of makeup for the movie, they could've allowed an expert on BW's makeup history on set for their main protagonist.

Set design. I've got to say, while some of the sets are impressive, they really don't fit into Wicked or Oz. I mostly blame CGI and lighting, but even then, it can't hold up to the simple, yet brightly colored sets we see on stage. Shiz looks like something out of Hogwarts, which nearly every fantasy academia story looks like these days. Can we please have something original for once?

What I would've enjoyed seeing the movie do is something similar to Melanine Martinez's K-12. They were working on one location on a smaller budget, yet it looks better than the dimly lit and CGI sets we're seeing.

Obviously I'm not saying Wicked should look EXACTLY like K-12 because they have completely different themes and genres, but my point is good lighting, original set designs and color correcting can take you a long way. Wicked is deserving of having the same whimsy look that the WOZ movie had, while still having dark parts where needed.

Some more examples of good use of lighting during dark scenes in movies:

Continuing from not being a fan of the sets, I'm FUMING at the location of Fiyero and Elphaba freeing the lion cub. Why is it in a dark dreary forest?????? Did John Chu mix up the locations between INTG and ALAYM???? The lion cub scene takes place in the poppy field, with a soft orange pinkish lighting that creates a romantic atmosphere and establishes the growing romance between Fiyero and Elphaba (<3) This forest looks too erie and mystical, which should've been used for act 2.

Another hot take: I think the tulip field in Munchkinland looks completely unnecessary. I literally do not care if they planted thousands of rows of them. They look CGI'd because nearly everything in this movie is CGI.

Now onto some things I'm confused about.

God I was so looking forward to Peter Dinklage as the voice for Dr. Dillamond,but from what I heard of his voice acting so far, it just sounds... underwhelming. But I can't complain too much because at least it's not James Corden. I still believe in Peter and hope he will pull through.

Why did they feel the need to change the shape of the grimmerie? It was fine the way it was!

Adding to Dr. D, I'm not sure if I like his new design. I'm guessing they're taking inspiration from the book but if we're discussing live action, I really prefer makeup effects over CGI. One of the things I liked about the Animals in Wicked and in Cats the Musical is they find a perfect balance between blending human features and animal species without it going into the uncanny valley.

I feel underwhelmed by Jeff Goldbulm's acting as The Wizard :( I can't complain too much because he kinda-

On a final note: I think this movie just cannot and will not match up to the excellence of the musical. Will it be a good movie? I don't know yet. I'll still see it in theaters and will give my thoughts.

While brainstorming my thoughts for this trailer, I've really been thinking about why I hate what I'm seeing so far while I enjoy other interpretations of Wicked, especially when it comes to costumes. Then I realized something.

I love non-replica productions of Wicked... So why don't I like the design of this movie?

Part two of my take COMING THANKSGIVING 2025

Not really, give me like a week or two.

ChatGPT vs DeepSeek: A Comprehensive Comparison of AI Chatbots

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the way we interact with technology. AI-powered chatbots, such as ChatGPT and DeepSeek, have emerged as powerful tools for communication, research, and automation. While both models are designed to provide intelligent and conversational responses, they differ in various aspects, including their development, functionality, accuracy, and ethical considerations. This article provides a detailed comparison of ChatGPT and DeepSeek, helping users determine which AI chatbot best suits their needs.

Understanding ChatGPT and DeepSeek

What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, is one of the most advanced AI chatbots available today. Built on the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) architecture, ChatGPT has been trained on a vast dataset, enabling it to generate human-like responses in various contexts. The chatbot is widely used for content creation, coding assistance, education, and even casual conversation. OpenAI continually updates ChatGPT to improve its accuracy and expand its capabilities, making it a preferred choice for many users.

What is DeepSeek?

DeepSeek is a relatively new AI chatbot that aims to compete with existing AI models like ChatGPT. Developed with a focus on efficiency and affordability, DeepSeek has gained attention for its ability to operate with fewer computing resources. Unlike ChatGPT, which relies on large-scale data processing, DeepSeek is optimized for streamlined AI interactions, making it a cost-effective alternative for businesses and individuals looking for an AI-powered chatbot.

Key Differences Between ChatGPT and DeepSeek

1. Development and Technology

ChatGPT: Built on OpenAI’s GPT architecture, ChatGPT undergoes extensive training with massive datasets. It utilizes deep learning techniques to generate coherent and contextually accurate responses. The model is updated frequently to enhance performance and improve response quality.

DeepSeek: While DeepSeek also leverages machine learning techniques, it focuses on optimizing efficiency and reducing computational costs. It is designed to provide a balance between performance and affordability, making it a viable alternative to high-resource-demanding models like ChatGPT.

2. Accuracy and Response Quality

ChatGPT: Known for its ability to provide highly accurate and nuanced responses, ChatGPT excels in content creation, problem-solving, and coding assistance. It can generate long-form content and has a strong understanding of complex topics.

DeepSeek: While DeepSeek performs well for general queries and casual interactions, it may struggle with complex problem-solving tasks compared to ChatGPT. Its responses tend to be concise and efficient, making it a suitable choice for straightforward queries but less reliable for in-depth discussions.

3. Computational Efficiency and Cost

ChatGPT: Due to its extensive training and large-scale model, ChatGPT requires significant computational power, making it costlier for businesses to integrate into their systems.

DeepSeek: One of DeepSeek’s key advantages is its ability to function with reduced computing resources, making it a more affordable AI chatbot. This cost-effectiveness makes it an attractive option for startups and small businesses with limited budgets.

4. AI Training Data and Bias

ChatGPT: Trained on diverse datasets, ChatGPT aims to minimize bias but still faces challenges in ensuring completely neutral and ethical responses. OpenAI implements content moderation policies to filter inappropriate or biased outputs.

DeepSeek: DeepSeek also incorporates measures to prevent bias but may have different training methodologies that affect its neutrality. As a result, users should assess both models to determine which aligns best with their ethical considerations and content requirements.

5. Use Cases and Applications

ChatGPT: Best suited for individuals and businesses that require advanced AI assistance for content creation, research, education, customer service, and coding support.

DeepSeek: Ideal for users seeking an affordable and efficient AI chatbot for basic queries, quick responses, and streamlined interactions. It may not offer the same depth of analysis as ChatGPT but serves as a practical alternative for general use.

Which AI Chatbot Should You Choose?

The choice between ChatGPT and DeepSeek depends on your specific needs and priorities. If you require an AI chatbot that delivers high accuracy, complex problem-solving, and extensive functionality, ChatGPT is the superior choice. However, if affordability and computational efficiency are your primary concerns, DeepSeek provides a cost-effective alternative.

Businesses and developers should consider factors such as budget, processing power, and the level of AI sophistication required before selecting an AI chatbot. As AI technology continues to evolve, both ChatGPT and DeepSeek will likely see further improvements, making them valuable assets in the digital landscape.

Final Thoughts

ChatGPT and DeepSeek each have their strengths and weaknesses, catering to different user needs. While ChatGPT leads in performance, depth, and versatility, DeepSeek offers an economical and efficient AI experience. As AI chatbots continue to advance, users can expect even more refined capabilities, ensuring AI remains a powerful tool for communication and automation.

By understanding the key differences between ChatGPT and DeepSeek, users can make informed decisions about which AI chatbot aligns best with their objectives. Whether prioritizing accuracy or cost-efficiency, both models contribute to the growing impact of AI on modern communication and technology.

Debunking the Myth: AI vs. Human Creativity in Content Creation

In today's world, no one questions whether a calculation is done manually or by a calculator—it’s the result that matters. Efficiency and accuracy take precedence over methodology in mathematics. Yet, when it comes to writing, the narrative shifts dramatically. A decade ago, content faced criticism for being copy-pasted from Google; now, the focus has shifted to whether it is AI-generated. This misplaced scrutiny undermines the essence of creativity and the true value of written content.

Let’s take a step back and reflect. English, like all languages, operates within a finite structure: 26 letters, words derived from dictionaries, and grammar that dictates the rules. AI doesn’t invent new alphabets, coin unprecedented words, or establish fresh grammatical frameworks. It works within the same linguistic boundaries as human writers. The question, therefore, shouldn’t be whether AI is involved but whether the content is meaningful, engaging, and effective in achieving its purpose....Expand

So because i use Blender quite a lot and often watch videos on how to do stuff, i often get reccomended those same kinda cringe, out of touch meme format of shorts where it's "Noob vs Pro"

i never normally pay attention to them because, well, i have standards, and condescending memes are a waste of time. I just saw a rigging one though and got curious because i am trying to learn to rig.

Turns out those videos are not just cringe but also entierly useless and even worse than i though:

This really makes me want to rant about something that is oozing from every hole of the internet these days.

Workflow-centric mentality.

The idea of "wasting" as little time as possible, to a degree where some artists will often not polish anything outside of the focal point of a piece, and others, not even do it themselves in the first place.

"Don't bother making custom rigs you dummy, just use a default one !" The condescending tutorial says, because God Forbid you want to actually learn a process, or even worse, are thinking of making models that don't fit any pre-made rigs.

"NEVER DO ANYTHING THAT TAKES LONG TO DO, REAL ARTISTS SHOULD BE FAST AND EFFICIENT !" Says the workflow mentality

This is very clearly a glorification of crunching that conviniently also makes excuses for popular artists getting lazy and posting rushed things to get more numbers quicker (good examples would be RJ Palmer and Sakimichan's loose grasp on anatomy because weird nerds don't ask questions when consumming content).

This is the enviromment that made AI generated images appealing, it's that magic button that makes you a thing instantly. Who cares if it's stolen art and of worse quality ? What matters is that using it can shave a few hours off actually working on a piece yourself.

It's not just AI image generators, this current landsape rewards mainly those who become mindless machines themselves.

it is interesting to see ai-generation keep going. like, clearly the goal some people are hoping for is the "we can replace all workers with a pre-trained ai model so we can make infinite monetizable Content without having to pay anything except our electricity bill". i mean some places are already doing that (ai listicles, etc), but the step between making advertising trash vs. something like a tv show that involves people actually wanting to watch the ai-generated content seems pretty big.

aside from the obvious quality issues there's... i mean okay a common response has been "yeah but once the model is out there, everybody will be able to do that", but that can be solved with some sufficiently-draconian IP/copyright law. but there's also the question of... who actually wants to watch ai-generated stuff? is anybody actually watching those "ai-generated debate between socrates and elon musk" videos? even the people making them?

idk a future where all entertainment is customized ai-generated slop seems particularly grim. i'm not really concerned that a lot of people would chose that, but i am a little concerned that all organizations with funding ability will really bank on it b/c that's cheaper for them than paying to produce anything.

anyway this is yet another reason why we need to destroy capitalism & distribute the efficiency gains of automation technology to the workers

The Future of SEO Content Writing and Its Impact on Digital Marketing

As you so very well know, the worlds of SEO content writing and digital marketing are undergoing significant transformations. The global SEO industry, valued at $68 billion in 2022, is projected to reach a staggering $129.6 billion by 2030. However, it's not just the financial numbers that are changing. The advent of AI-powered solutions like ChatGPT is blurring the lines between human-created content and machine-generated text in digital marketing. This article delves into the profound implications of these changes, exploring how SEO content writing is reshaping digital marketing strategies.

A Game-Changer in SEO

The future of SEO content writing is taking an unprecedented leap with the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Gone are the days when human writers held a monopoly over content creation. AI tools such as Heliograf, Wordsmith, ChatGPT, and Content at Scale have already made substantial strides in generating content at scale. News organizations like the Washington Post and the Associated Press have harnessed AI to produce thousands of articles, significantly boosting their content volume.

Impact on SEO Strategies

The proliferation of AI-generated content ushers in a more competitive landscape in search engine results pages (SERPs). To stand out, creating valuable, user-focused content becomes paramount. Prioritizing keyword research, meta tags, and content performance optimization remains essential to outperform competitors in this increasingly crowded arena.

E-commerce Evolution

E-commerce giants are embracing AI-powered content to streamline the creation of high-quality product descriptions. AI algorithms analyze data to generate compelling product information, enhancing customers' shopping experiences. Personalized messaging based on individual preferences further boosts engagement and conversions.

News Outlets' Efficiency

News outlets are turning to automated journalism powered by AI to cover breaking news stories efficiently. Tools like Heliograf allow for rapid and accurate reporting, freeing up reporters to focus on in-depth analysis.

Financial Insights

In the financial industry, AI-powered tools like COIN are revolutionizing data-driven analysis. AI-generated reports provide timely and accurate market trend insights, saving time and improving accuracy.

Human Writers vs. AI: Balancing Quality and Connection

While AI-generated content offers efficiency, it falls short in establishing genuine connections with readers. Human writers infuse content with emotion, creativity, and cultural sensitivity that machines lack. AI-generated content sometimes veers into duplication, while human writers provide original perspectives and unique experiences that resonate with audiences.

The Role of Generative AI in Content Writing

The introduction of GPT-4 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 4) has sparked discussions about its potential impact on content creation. GPT-4 boasts increased productivity, improved quality, reduced costs, and broader reach. It allows SEO professionals to focus on complex tasks while relying on AI for content generation and distribution.

Responsible Use of AI in Content Creation

Relying solely on AI for content creation has its pitfalls. Inaccuracy, lack of relevance, absence of creativity, and cultural insensitivity are potential drawbacks. Responsible use involves combining AI with human expertise to create high-quality, user-centric content.

Preparing for the Future of Content Creation

To thrive in the evolving content landscape, businesses must:

Build Skilled Teams

Invest in skilled writers who can enhance AI-generated content with a personal touch that resonates with readers emotionally.

Embrace Innovation

Diversify strategies by combining traditional methods with cutting-edge AI technologies, ensuring content remains relevant and engaging.

Prioritize Quality

Maintain a focus on content quality over quantity, implementing quality assurance processes for both human and AI-generated content.

Harness Data-Driven Insights

Utilize AI-generated content to gain valuable insights, identify trends, and optimize existing content for better search engine performance.

Conclusion: The Exciting Future of SEO Content Writing

The future of SEO content writing holds immense promise. As technology advances and search engines prioritize user-focused content, content creators have the tools and opportunities to thrive. Content creation is no longer about keyword stuffing but crafting engaging, informative, and optimized content that resonates with audiences. Multimedia elements, voice search optimization, and AI-driven insights will shape the landscape. By staying informed and embracing innovation, content creators can excel in this ever-evolving digital world.
