Batman Villain Movie Ideas, Part XXIV: Ra's al Ghul

Ra's al Ghul is yet another villain who has been done multiple times over. This makes sense, as ancient evil organizations secretly controlling the world from the shadows are a favorite tool of movie franchises trying really hard to be epic, even though they are rarely actually interesting or well-written. Ra's and the League of Shadows/Assassins is on the better end of this, I suppose, but even that depends on the version. There are a few things that make him still worth including in a franchise, including his daughter Talia being the mother of Damian, so naturally necessary if you want to include him, and the Lazarus Pit, often used to resurrect Jason Todd, so also necessary if you want to include him.

Origin Movie: He is a natural pick for an origin movie (see: Batman Begins), as he can act as a face to consolidate all of Batman's training to become the warrior he is, rather than a bunch of people all over the world. This can then naturally be extended into his desire to cleanse Gotham of corruption in a much more genocide-y way.

Sequel Movie: I suppose this type of movie would be almost a requirement if you want to use him to introduce Talia or Damian or the Lazarus Pit, and he could be a tool to send Batman on a more treasure hunt-style adventure outside of Gotham.

Finale Movie: As stated before, big evil organization is a favorite of franchises trying to be epic, specifically because they work really well as the villains of a finale movie who were behind everything.

Supporting Villain: As he tends to use and manipulate other villains to accomplish his goals, this tends to go hand-in-hand.

Here are my rankings of them:

Origin Movie: Batman Begins worked for a reason.

Finale Movie: Despite my criticism, it's a favorite of finales for a reason.

Supporting Villain: It's just what he does.

Sequel Movie: Really only would be done to use him as a bridge for other characters.

What do you think? Tomorrow, we finish the villains with our clown prince of crime.

WHY IS THE NINJAGO FANDOM OUTSIDE OF TUMBLR SO FUCKING TOXIC

[moeblob]

A lil guy !

The fact that Main-verse Ooo is as good and as kind as it is (relative to the other universes shown so far, at least, it's obviously not perfect) all because of the same character that starts off as the OG series' antagonist, the person we were made to see as the bad guy (albeit an often ineffectual one) for several seasons, is making me lose my mind.

Imagine finding out the guy you spent your childhood beating up and saving princesses from is in fact a driving catalyst behind you being able to exist, and not only exist but also live in a world that knows what kindness is. All because that man, the same man who you've witnessed do terrible things, once met a little girl and taught her how to be good.

Simon's story really shows us that even if you lose your way and forget how it is to be good yourself, the world keeps the memory for you. That act of love Simon showed Marcy by protecting her and seeing her as more than the monster she thought herself to be created ripples upon ripples, small at first but eventually enough to help give their wreckage of a world—a world that easily could have been forsaken, its goodness overlooked because of its inhospitable remains—a chance to grow into something beautiful. Because of those very same ripples Simon created, the people of Ooo grew up in a world where they know enough about kindness that they were able and willing to spare the 'bad guy' some, to see beyond the wreckage and allow him to grow too.

In saving Marceline, Simon helped to not only to save the world, but also himself.

[sketchy-tour]

I know hardly anything about Moral Orel (except for a couple small things from a friend who LOVES it)

But the guy you drew (Reverend Putty?) looks cool! I'd like to see more art of him, if you ever make it I mean

YOU DON'T GOTTA TELL ME TWICE-

You don't understand how much this stupid old man makes my brain buzz aaaaaaugh!!!!!! He's so stupid so silly so pathetic. This dang SHOW.

There's a lot of validity in the idea that older Bakugo is a traumatized pro-hero with major PTSD... but you know what's kinda fucked up to think about? The fact that Bakugo is also a 22-year-old pro-hero with major PTSD even before that, too.

It's almost easy to imagine that things are actually better when he's older (the therapy finally a routine, the trauma long set and on the path to being healed)... and that it's his whole 20s that are spent as a pool of disaster trying to recover from the war(s).

He looks back and barely even remembers being twenty, much less twenty-five or twenty-seven. Barely remembers how little he slept, not at the hands of trying to balance hero work and getting a degree at the same time, but just out of the pure insomnia that came from trying to move on and every nightmare attached.

Hardly ever showering, never shaving (not that he ever grew much of a beard, but the facial hair was definitely there. There's pictures of him on the news with an awkward, grown out haircut and patches on facial hair that make him look positively... immature), barely even eating more than a few protein bars or an energy jelly drink-a day. It's a blur, and his friends are hardly there to pick him up out of it because they're all going through it, too. Somewhat.

It's definitely weird if you meet him during this period. He's not all there, at least, not all of the time. He doesn't really register your interactions, the friendship you extend to him (a younger, or ever older, version of him would've shown you that deep seeded ferocity in response, tried to bite the hand that fed him, even if it were love... but 20s Bakugo... doesn't seem to notice). Even though only one of his eyes is clouded over, the good one never seems to brighten up.

There's definitely moments when the old him shines through: when he's with Deku, when he's in the midst of battle, when he finds out that Todoroki still does a shitty job at chopping scallions. But it's a long time before he's even close to the same, able to step out from underneath the fog of simply surviving and into the sunshine of recovering.

But I think sticking through it with him is worth it.

(It's a weird moment, a happy moment, the first time you realize that Bakugo has changed. That the pouring rain outside hasn't bothered him since he showed up at your apartment. He forgot his umbrella, he's been quite careless ever since the war—wet and shaggy hair frizzed up, cheeks red from cold—but he doesn't seem to mind, with his bare feet up on your coffee table, his eyes gazing out the window. You hand his tea, and instead of gulping it down in one go, letting it burn in his throat, he winces at the heat.

"Tastes like shit," he says, and you laugh because it always does. Just this time, he noticed.)

Okay I really enjoyed Tottmnt, I hope for another season, but did anyone else feel off anytime they mentioned/referenced real life things from celebrities, shows, movies, memes, etc.

Like it felt out of place and would always catch me off guard when things like Donnie mentioning going on Wikipedia or using Google, celebrities like Drake, Beyonce, and Jay-Z getting mentioned, or talking about movies and shows like Star Wars, Star Trek, and Friends, would happen.

[hotasfahrenheit]

ah, youth

listen you lil shit, when you get older maybe you'll realise that actually plenty of people want to be isolated thank you very much, my house is very nice and i prefer to be there as much as possible okay

i'll fight about it 🥊💥💣🔥

I think maybe everyone should cool it with the “weird cult” comments regarding the covert, honestly. It wasn’t that funny to begin with but now that it’s the popular describer it’s starting to become a little uncomfy. No one is forced to join, no one is forced to stay. There’s a ton of parallels between them and real world cultures and religions and I just think MAYBE we need to be a little more aware of what message we’re sending when we say “haha that group of people who are in hiding because their lives were/are at stake and who practice anonymity to survive and follow certain rules that I don’t personally understand or like are a weird cult”.
