#Killowag

[rewinded-time]

Home Alone in the DCU:Green Lantern AU Pt.2

I needed another post to process my thoughts  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Kevin ends up on a planet where the buildings are yellow and the people wear a shit ton of green, and he partially thought he must either be dead or hallucinating

When he finally landed on the ground he ended up in front of a buff pinkish alien who somewhat seemed surprised at Kevin's appearance.

Come to find out that apparently every green lantern gets trained her by the pink looking alien, who Kevin now learns is named Killowog, and now he's flung into bootcamp to become an official member of the green lantern corps.

He ended up figuring out what he was good at, bad at, and apparently pretty fucking great at when it came to bootcamp. Kevin was good at flying, after learning that he could breathe out there in space, but needed some work on his harsh turns. He absolutely loved making constructs, and even Killowag seemed somewhat impressed at the durability of Kevin's constructs. But man did Kevin struggle with fighting.

When it came to doing mock battles with his fellow recruits, he was having problems. He spent most of his training learning how to fight better from the other recruits and Killowag, mainly using his small size and quick thinking to fight back.

He lost a tooth in one of his final mock battles to Orgata, who he enjoyed spending time with in training, and focused on the fact that he won rather than the fact that he wasn't going to be growing a new tooth anytime soon.

Taking the oath with the other's filled Kevin with pride and was excited for whatever assignment that Killowag would give him. So you can imagine his confusion when he's having to watch Killowag argue with one of the Green Lanterns from earth to fly with Kevin to earth to take him in.

Kevin is now somewhat regretting telling Killowag about his home life before being a lantern but hey, at least he's going to get a decent place to live from the looks of it.

Y'all i have no earthly idea who this 'Razor' character is.

But i think i could die for him.

I think i WOULD die for him.

We have a Red/Blue lantern!?!? This absolute ICON.

Also if we ever get a Green/Blue lantern can we we call them the Baja Blast lantern?

It's the Rocket getting the exact amount of screen time she had in S1 for me.

It's the Forager/Forager ship for me.

[gay-ghostwriter]

Am I allowed to ship this?

[robin-27]

Killowag - I think this one is defective 

Hal - What your ring--

*Killowag holding a chicken*

Hal - Okay then Buddy, why’s this chicken....defective

Killowag - It has no fingers and by the looks I don’t think it has nuggets

Hal, sighing - Sit down Killowag, time I gave you...the talk

[makorragal-312]

Okay... (YJ 4x19)

As someone who watched Green Lantern: The Animated Series when I was younger, this episode of Phantoms gave me ABSOLUTE LIFE!!!

[rin-the-shadow]

So rewatching the first season of Transformers: Prime on Netflix while studying for my finals may not have been my most brilliant idea ever. Since I can’t look at the video due to my articles being pulled up, I keep thinking this guy:

Sounds like this guy:

Because Steve Blum.

[starcrossedrose]

Me: (watching the new Young Justice) Oh, they got a new Blue Lantern. That’s cool.

Killowag: RAZER! : ) 

Me: WAIT, WHAT?!  

Me:

[kikakat17]

Rants on Season 4 Ep 21 (spoilers)

Ok, so I did see the episode before i had to teach class today, bad news is i had to act like nothing happened and I was emotionally fine, which i’m not. This episode WRECKED ME!! My reactions will show you why ahahah *cries*

I'm glad they're putting time stamps cause i'm almost got lost there with all that jumping

"Stay Frosty, Poozers" PLEASE tell me Kilowag got that from Hal XD

Love how everyone's got someone to fight but i'm ready for some Green Lantern action!!!

Someone get Jay!!! His a Flash but he's 201 for pete's sake!!

Why do i get a bad feeling Tomar’Re’s gonna die... why... WHY MUST YOU TEASE ME LIKE THIS GREG AND BRANDON?!?!?

NOOO, NOT TOMAR'RE , NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Raquel, i’m so happy you understand who Orion is now but screw it, let him kick the SH*T out of that Zodboy's ass, for Tomar'Re!

Tomar'Re's ring chose Forager girl?!?!? Don't get me wrong. I love her and she’s a great successor but we could have gotten an animated Tomar’Tu!!!

GREEN LANTERN OATH GREEN LANTERN OATH GREEN LANTERN OATH

SOOOOO CLOSE to getting Connor and Phantom girl, so CLOSE!!! I hate that Zodboy!!

Poor Kilowag! He keeps losing friends, stop no, this is too much!!!

That’s right, GL’s and New Genisis better sign that treaty!! Because I wanna see Kilowag pummel the Zods so badly right now!!

If GLTAS taught me anything is that long distant relationships are tough, I really hope the Forager’s can prove me wrong

Oh gee I just realized Forager girl is going to go through Killowag Boot Camp, oh gee, honey, get ready to fight an alien squierrel!

Raquel seeing Amistad for who he is because she learn from Orion AHHHHHH MY HEART!!! Love this healthy representation of Family’s with Autism so much

365 DC Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…

August 16th - Green Lantern Arisa

Arisia Rrab is a native of the planet Graxos IV. Her family has had a distinguished history of serving as Green Lanterns for Sector 2815, dating back several generations. Following the death of Arisia’s uncle, the Guardians of the Universe chose Arisia to assume the role of the new Green Lantern of her sector. At thirteen years old she was the youngest being ever to serve as a ring-bearer of Green Lantern Corps. To help her further hone her skills, Arisa was assigned as a trainee under the tutelage of the Green Lantern Hal Jordan. Arisa and Hal would go on to have numerous adventures together as the young Lantern became highly apt at using the powers of the ring. For a time, Arisia was made part of a squad situated on earth that included the fellow Lanterns Ch’p and Killowag. During this assignment Arisia assumed the human alias of Cindy Simpson. Arisia was believed to have perished in battle against Major Force, but it turned out that she was actually being kept prisoner on the Manhunters’ homeworld and was subsequently rescued by the Green Lantern Guy Gardener. Arisia has been involved in a tumultuous romantic relationship with the Lantern Sodam Yat. When Sodam fell under the control of the telepathic warlord known as Zardor, Arisia defied the orders of The Guardians and has ventured off to save her love. To what extent she may succeed in this quest remains to be seen. The heroine first appeared in the pages of Tales of the Green Lantern Corps #1 (1981).

He’s from THE FUTURE, he doesn’t fucking care, you’re not relevant enough where he’s concerned! Hell, the Kent farm is turned into a museum in the future and you don’t see Clark panicking that everyone knows who he is every time he fights a Legion villain.

THIS EPISODE!!!!!

sighh this thing erased my whole thing lol but  I absolutely love this episode. I was totally not expecting that Razer would be in this. It was such a pleasure seeing him on screen again. And the Razer and  Killowag moments warmed my heart. Also Foragers were fucking adorable.  And I really like how they’re introducing characters with neurodivergencies to Rocket. It’s really forcing her to rethink how she views her son. Razer going back for the red ring made me think of addiction. After so many losses, he went back to what was familiar. But I loved the end to this story, embracing that rage will always be apart of him but not all of him. I think it was so important for Rocket to hear. Also my heart ❤️  when he said Aya 😭😭. Overall I LOVED THIS EPISODE!!! if that wasn’t apparent lol  Also...did anyone else think for a sec that they were going to make us listen to forager and forager getting it on bc i did lmaoo

Killowag really liked training Jessica, because she never talks back.

Sooo, I had an idea

I've had this idea for a few years now, one involving Ben 10 and related characters as part of the DC Comics Universe. It never seemed like a stretch to me to have him suddenly appear or to introduce him into the fold as it were. Ben 10 is a Cartoon Network property, Cartoon Network being a Warner Brothers property just as DC Comics is. Meshing the two together hardly seems difficult.

Ben is, what seems to me, a perfect combination of some of my favorite DC Comics heroes.

He has the body changing / swapping of Captain Marvel (Shazam), the Alien tech of Jaime Reyes' Blue Beetle (before it was retconned as being magical once again), the potential to be just as strong,smart, or fast as any number of heroes, and the youth and rambunctious attitude of any one of the members of the Teen Titans.

Introducing Ben into the DCCU also allows for two very cool things; One, it allows for the unique alien species featured in the original series and all following spinoffs to be introduced into the DCCU, and Two, it opens the door for Ben to access new aliens that exist within the comics. Just a few examples being Bolovaxians(Killowag), Starro, the Reach(Blue Beetle), Tamaranias(Starfire), or KRYPTONIAN.

These are only the bonuses revolving around Ben alone. Introducing Gwen and her magic gives opportunity for many crossovers with The DC Dark characters and more in depth look into Gwens powers.

Grandpa Max and the Plumbers being this super secret organization that knows everything but nobody knows of opens doors for interesting storylines in the future. How does Batman of all people not know of the Plumbers? Is this another Court of Owls situation? Only time and investigation would tell.

The thought, to me, of Ben, Gwen, or even both joining the Teen Titans roster at some point or heck being apart of an entirely new super team is extremely exciting to me!

Not to mention all the villains and side characters to pepper into the comics like Vilgax, Charmcaster, Kevin, or Dr Animo

At the time of writing this, I am not aware of any plans between DC/Cartoon Network/ WB to collaborate with one another on any project like this but I would be shocked if it hadn't been suggested before in some capacity.

Thanks for reading!

I'll probably post some art I drew for this idea sometime soon

  Zack Snyder's Justice League is finally streaming on HBO Max and other platforms around the world, so now that it's out we can finally see just how different it is from the 2017 cut by Joss Whedon. The Snyder Cut represents Zack Snyder's pure original vision for Justice League before he left teh project and Warner Bros. and Joss Whedon rewrote and reshot it to drastically alter the story and tone, and it's far more than just a color change and some deleted scenes, but almost a totally different movie outside of the basic plot skeleton (although that has some changes, too).

Thanks to non-stop demand for his version of the movie, HBO Max saw an opportunity and gave Snyder $70 million to finish his cut according to his original vision, and so far it's seen strong audience and critical reactions, with many viewers expressing shock at how different the Snyder Cut truly is.

Due to the massive difference and 4-hour runtime, it's not practical to list every minor tweak or scene addition, so this piece will cover the major differences from color and music and aspect ratio to restored characters and altered plotlines.

One of the Snyder Cut's most immediately apparent changes is the restoration of Snyder's original aspect ratio of 1.33:1. During principal photography, Snyder wanted to use the typical IMAX ratio for the whole film, unlike Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, where it was only used in a few scenes. The additional vertical space allows Snyder and cinematographer Fabian Wagner to frame shots in such a way that the same imagery can't be captured fully in widescreen, which is why many of the Whedon reshoots felt poorly framed and too tight. Snyder's aesthetic loves the human figure and statuesque poses, and the change from a wide screen to a square screen allows a single figure to dominate the majority of a shot without being too tightly cropped.

Zack Snyder has been well known for his visual aesthetic ever since the release of 300. His aesthetic choices are one of the more polarizing aspects of his filmmaking approach, and the darker, more natural, and high contrast looks of Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice were a subject of controversy for some, so that was one of the biggest changes in the Joss Whedon version of the film.

The theatrical cut didn't merely lighten every shot, but also increased the saturation in a color grade that added an almost salmon-colored hue to the whole movie. Everything was more orange and pink, especially skin tones, and the entire third act was bathed in a red-orange light that ultimately also washed out much of the contrast, making the visuals pop far less.

Snyder, of course, returned to his preferred palate in the Snyder Cut, although it should be noted that due to the characters and story being told, there's a lot of visual variety, making it far brighter and more colorful than Batman v Superman, and possibly even more than Man of Steel. Of course, the third act is also returned to its dark, high contrast look, and is one of the most praised aspects of the film.

Tom Holkenborg (Junkie XL) worked with Hans Zimmer on Man of Steel and graduated to splitting credit with him on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and was set to be the sole credited composer on Justice League before Snyder stepped down and Danny Elfman was hired to replace Holkenborg.

While much of his score was already completed, Holkenborg spent 8 months in quarantine in 2020 to compose an entirely new score, which he calls his "Mount Everest" as it's the longest score ever released. While Elfman's more whimsical style and iconic Batman '89 score is iconic, it didn't fit at all with the original tone of the movie. Junkie XL's 4-hour score, however, brings all the bass drums and bombast expected from a massive Snyder project but also embraces the iconic Hans Zimmer Superman theme from Man of Steel.

While the theatrical Justice League was just two hours long, Zack Snyder's Justice League comes in at a full 4 hours. Snyder was subjected to a 2-hour mandate by Warner Bros., which was part of the major struggle with his edits of the film prior to his departure. Presumably, Whedon was subject to the same requirement as his cut is exactly two hours long.

If Snyder's movie had been released in theaters in 2017, there's almost no chance it would have been four hours. It's hard to see the studio agreeing to more than 3 hours, and even that would have been a struggle, but due to the nature of the campaign to "Release the Snyder Cut" and the HBO Max streaming release, Snyder has far more leeway this time around, bringing an even purer "Snyder experience" to the final product. Since only about half of Whedon's version used Snyder footage (albeit cropped and recolored), Zack Snyder's Justice League has roughly 3 hours of footage that was excluded in 2017.

Zack Snyder's Justice League divides its 4-hour runtime into 6 different chapters and an epilogue, all marked by a fade to a black screen and title card before moving to the next chapter. Each chapter has a clear theme and arc in the movie, and the chapter cards do a great job of splitting up the 4-hour runtime into something far more consumable than many would expect. Since the 2017 Justice League was only 2 hours and lacked many of the subplots referenced in the chapter title cards, they were excluded from that version.

Zack Snyder has a reputation for R-rated violence in most of his movies, and that's on full display in Zack Snyder's Justice League. While Man of Steel was PG-13, Snyder's director's cut of Batman v Superman (the "Ultimate Edition"), is widely regarded as the better cut and also contains an R-rating. The movie includes lots of 300 style action, complete with CGI blood spurts, and 3 different f-bombs can be heard throughout.

One of the biggest criticisms of Justice League 2017 was Steppenwolf. Not only was his backstory and motivation slashed down in the final edit, but his voice was also fairly non-threatening, but the big criticism was his design and VFX. Steppenwolf was originally revealed at the end of Batman v Superman (only in Zack Snyder's director's cut), but they changed his design to be more human-like for Justice League, and it just didn't work. Part of the issue was the lack of polish to the character made him feel fake, but his design also just wasn't inherently very scary.

Zack Snyder's Justice League certainly changes that in one of the most substantially praised differences, which is the return to the scary, alien-looking Steppenwolf with his spiky armor. The armor is almost a character unto itself, constantly shifting and becoming more or less spikey, adding variable intensity to Steppenwolf moments. His voice is also more modulated, making him much more fierce, giving the Justice League a truly threatening foe.

Since Snyder's original movie was so drastically rewritten and reshot by Joss Whedon, a number of characters didn't make it into the final cut of the movie, and many of them are characters from DC comics who played a significant role when they were restored to Zack Snyder's Justice League, in addition to a few characters who were added after the fact in 2020. The characters include:

Darkseid

DeSaad

Granny Goodness

Ryan Choi

Iris West

Vulko

Martian Manhunter (and Harry Lennix)

Joker

Killowag

Doomsday (Flashback)

Since the Snyder Cut is 4 hours long, there's a lot more room for character development, and that's one of the movie's biggest improvements. Flash's introduction scene with Iris West is a great entry point into his character, Aquaman's trip to the Atlantean outpost establishes more of his backstory and motivation, Wonder Woman's connection to (and separation from) the Amazons becomes a major focus of her arc, and Batman trying to atone for his guilt after the death of Superman in Batman v Superman becomes a central focus for his character.

The biggest beneficiary of the expanded arcs is Cyborg, and by association, Silas Stone. Cyborg was heralded as the heart of the movie since even before the 2017 Justice League release. Every single Cyborg scene except for the GCPD rooftop scene was reshot by Whedon, so Cyborg saw a drastically altered story, making him the emotional core of the movie. Silas Stone's sacrificial end and ending monologue add a lot to both Cyborg and the rest of the characters, making his restored role integral to Zack Snyder's Justice League.

In order to complete a few elements Snyder didn't shoot in principal photography, he brought some of the cast back for brief reshoots in October 2020. The additional photography accounts for 4-5 minutes of footage and includes a Knightmare scene in the epilogue with Batman, Cyborg, Flash, Mera, Deathstroke, and Joker where they face a cliffhanger ending featuring evil Superman.

Snyder also shot a brief moment of Harry Lennix to show his transformation into Martian Manhunter, and also added him to a brief exchange with Bruce Wayne after he jolts awake following the Knightmare scene. Both Affleck and Lennix's part in this exchange are from 2020 reshoots, although a similar version of Affleck's part was shot during principal photography when the intention was to introduce a Green Lantern instead of Martian Manhunter.

The Snyder Cut has a couple added Superman moments that reuse Superman footage from Man of Steel and Batman  v Superman. They're only small moments and most viewers likely won't notice, but during Cyborg's Knightmare when Superman is seen kneeling and holding Lois Lane's dead body, Darkseid puts his hand on Superman's shoulder in a shot from after Superman kills Zod in Man of Steel, only the shot is reversed.

The second shot is at the end of the Knightmare, and it's repurposed from Batman v Superman when Superman drops down into the house in Nairomi where he rescues Lois Lane from the warlord. Both shots only stand out to anyone familiar enough with the original footage to recognize it, but due to pandemic restrictions in 2020 and Henry Cavill's busy schedule shooting The Witcher, he wasn't able to join for Snyder's reshoots.

Speaking of Henry Cavill and reshoot scheduling issues, when Joss Whedon originally did reshoots in 2017, Henry Cavill was shooting Mission: Impossible - Fallout and couldn't shave the mustache he grew to play August Walker. As a result, they had to digitally remove Henry Cavill's mustache for Justice League and the results were less than stellar, leading to years of internet memes of Henry Cavill's uncanny valley face.

Cavill didn't have the mustache during Snyder's principal photography, so the problem is entirely a product of Whedon's reshoots and therefore Henry Cavill's clean-shaven face is present for all his scenes in Zack Snyder's Justice League.

In a presumed attempt to add more personal stakes to the movie instead of focusing solely on the heroes, Joss Whedon added additional scenes featuring a Russian family in their home near the nuclear reactor Steppenwolf takes over in Pozharnov. The family never fully fit and felt cheap and distracting in Whedon's version, and it's entirely absent in the Snyder Cut.

Justice League 2017 cut most of the backstory and setup for the new characters, and one of the victims was Flash's introductory scene, where he's applying for a job as a dog walker when he saves Iris West from a car accident, which does a lot of work in establishing his character, personality, and skill set. It's also one of the more touching and humorous moments of the movie, so it's odd Whedon removed it, since it's exactly the kind of thing he was asked to add by Warner Bros.

Aquaman goes to the Atlantean outpost in Justice League 2017, but the Snyder Cut features even more interaction, including scenes with Vulko establishing Aquaman's backstory and motivations. This scene also explains where Aquaman's armor and trident came from, since they just appear in Justice League 2017 with no explanation. There's also a scene of Steppenwolf pulling Atlantean soldiers out onto land to interrogate them about the location of the Mother Box.

The History Lesson flashback scene follows the same general plot as in Justice League 2017, but the major difference is it features Darkseid instead of Steppenwolf. On top of that, it's a bit longer and better edited, has a little more Green Lantern in it, and has a much more epic fight (albeit a short one) between Darkseid and Ares, the God of War. Also, in this version, it's clear the alliance of Atlaneans, Amazons, and men (featuring far more diverse tribes of men than before) are much more clearly victorious, significantly changing our perception of how Darkseid might feel about the threat of Earth, and why the Mother Boxes stayed dormant for so long.

Zack Snyder always wanted Superman to wear the black suit after the League brings him back from the dead, just like in the comics. Unfortunately, Warner Bros. didn't allow it, so instead, Snyder worked with his crew to produce and shoot the Superman suit in a way that would be much easier to convert to black and silver in post-production if he could change WB's mind. Obviously that didn't happen for the theatrical, but the Snyder Cut has the black and silver suit in all its glory.

Just like how Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice explored the climax of Man of Steel from a new perspective, Zack Snyder's Justice League opens with Superman's death in Batman v Superman, showing Batman and Wonder Woman's reaction to his sacrifice, which is what inspires Bruce Wayne's entire arc to bring together the Justice League.

This was cut in Justice League 2017 in favor of a cell phone video of two kids interviewing Superman. While there may be a version of a Superman movie where that quaint video works, it wasn't only a total tonal mismatch with the rest of the movie, but also prominently featured Henry Cavill's CGI mustache removal, which was needless to say a jarring way to open the movie.

In Justice League 2017, much of the sequel set-up from Snyder's version was cut or altered, as the DCEU was moving in a different direction, but the characters all have their original endings back, which largely sets up for long-since canceled solo-films, with a few exceptions.

Batman is shown having rounded up a gang of criminals and tied them up in front of his tank-like "War Machine." The big detail about this shot is the fact that the criminals are tied up, whereas he's more known for branding, seriously injuring, or killing criminals in his introduction in Batman v Superman. There's also another scene where Lex Luthor tells Deathstroke that Bruce Wayne is Batman, setting up Affleck's canceled solo movie.

Wonder Woman is shown holding the arrow of Artemis and looking out over the ocean, implying she's seeking a way to get back to her people on Themiscyra, possibly setting up a different version of Wonder Woman 2, although since Wonder Woman 1984 was a prequel, this story isn't off the table yet.

Barry Allen reveals his "foot in the door" job at a crime lab to his dad, setting up a sequel where Cyborg helps him clear his dad's name. While the new version of The Flash movie could deal with Barry trying to exonerate his dad, Cyborg has been removed due to Ray Fisher's conflict with the head of DC Films, Walter Hamada.

Aquaman's last scene is set-up for his solo movie where he tells Vulko he's going home to see his dad. While the setup itself is fairly clean, the Snyder Cut does introduce some minor continuity contradictions with Aquaman.

Cyborg's ending shows him reassembling the tape recorder with Silas Stone's closing message on it, suggesting his technological powers are expanding, and the overall call from Silas in that message is for him to embrace his ability as a hero and grow. It's been revealed the ultimate plan for Cyborg was for him to become almost as powerful as Doctor Manhattan, so this is definitely a step in that direction.

Superman's ending shows him assuming the role of Clark Kent again and doing the classic shirt rip, just like the theatrical cut, only now he's wearing the black and silver Superman suit.

Ryan Choi also gets his own moment here where he's made STAR Labs' head of nanotechnology, where he simply says "that's my thing." Snyder has since revealed that he pitched an Atom movie with a Chinese cast to WB.

While the basic premise of sopping Steppenwolf from destroying the world with the Mother Boxes is the same, the third act battle is quite different in Zack Snyder's Justice League. The absence of the red hue throughout is an obvious major difference, but it's also longer, more violent, and has a lot more teamwork between the league, including an epic speed-ramped team shot.

Flash was mostly sidelined in the theatrical cut as he was running to save civilians, but in the Snyder Cut, he's actually building up speed to give Cyborg a charge and help project him into the Mother Boxes to stop the unity. He fails and the unity explodes, so he has to run fast enough to time travel back to save the League before giving the charge to Cyborg. Also, instead of Steppenwolf being dragged away by parademons like in the theatrical cut, a Boom Tube opens revealing Darkseid, DeSaad, and Granny Goodness and Steppenwolf is punched through as Wonder Woman cuts off his head, which rolls under Darkseid's boot before it's crushed. Darkseid then tells DeSaad to ready the Armada to invade Earth. Without the Mother Boxes, they'll have to "do it the old way."

After the polarizing response to Batman v Superman's Knightmare scene, that storyline was entirely removed from Justice League 2017. Of course, the Snyder Cut brings it back with a raging fury. Starting with a Knightmare vision by Cyborg where the Mother Boxes scorch the Earth, he sees Wonder Woman dead on a funeral pyre as Darkseid looks on, a glimpse at Darkseid killing Aquaman and Vulko with Omega beams, a shot of a destroyed Hall of Justice with Easter eggs from several major characters including the dead body of the Green Lantern Killowag.

Finally the biggest reveal of this vision is Superman, kneeling in the Batcave holding Lois Lane's burned corpse as Darkseid stands over him and puts his hand on his shoulder, as Superman is about to succumb to the Anti-Life equation, which is supposed to start the Knightmare future.

The Snyder Cut also has an additional Knightmare scene in the end, revealing Batman's Knightmare Justice League, including Cyborg, Flash, Mera, and Deathstroke. The scene shows Batman make an uneasy alliance with Joker before Superman arrives, his eyes glow red, and Bruce snaps awake.
