Absolutely fair, it’s a decent movie for the majority of it, but they kill the story in the last half by making tons of utterly baffling stupid changes, including changing Hush’s actual identity.

I finished watching it.

My poor  brain.

Make it stop.

Make the bad thing stop.

riddler is hush

tommy is a non character

it takes place in the new 52 continuity 

Nightwing gets dicked over

The annoying part is that like... there's a lot that I actually LIKE about it.  In terms of production value, it's a huge step up from DC's other DTV outings.  The animation is quite good and even excellent in places, and the music is fantastic.  The voice acting is pretty good with some exceptions.  I usually don't like Jason O'Mara's Batman but he was really good here.  And I even thought the first hour of the movie was decent.  Not great, but was a decently okay adaptation.  I legit thought I was going to have the unpopular opinion and actually like this movie.

THEN THE RIDDLER IS HUSH PART CAME IN.  And in less than 30 minutes, they managed to undo all the good the entire first hour of the movie had.  Like, just that revelation alone completely killed the entire rest of the movie for me.

Basically my thought. It’s like reverse Killing Joke where the first half hour kills the good will that the last hour has, only here, the last half hour kills the first hour’s good will.

On that note, I was really hoping it would take the bad taste of The Killing Joke out of my mouth but instead it made it worse.

Yuup.

Hush was my Killing Joke. Like, I love KJ as a story, but Hush is my all time favourite. I’ve wanted this film for years, especially after Under the Red Hood. I hate what they did with it.

Man those changes were quite the riddle.

(Wait how was Nightwing dicked over? Haven't seen it, heard it was trash)

I'm assuming he means the part where Nightwing is poisoned by Scarecrow's venom and then unceremoniously disappears from the movie entirely.

The DCAM really hates Nightwing for some reason.

Exactly that part.

lol so they pulled a killing joke on this adaptation?

I would at least say that Hush is better than The Killing Joke.  Like, as bad as the last thirty minutes are, and as bad as the stupid plot reveal is, the animation is still better, the music is still better, and it's still probably the best animated interpretation of Bruce and Selena's relationship.  Like I've never been a big fan of Batman and Catwoman as a couple (bar their forced separation at the end).  More specifically, I never saw them as a "settle down and get married" type couple and always saw them more like Scrooge McDuck and Goldie.  Two people who love or at least lust after each other, but constantly screw each other over because of how selfish they are.  And even if Nightwing gets the short end of the stick again, I really like his snarky but supportive attitude here.  Like, the way he's so happy about Bruce getting a girlfriend is so pure and I love it.  It's just that all those good things are undone in the last half hour by that god damn stupid plot twist.

The Killing Joke's main problem (the Bat sex problem) is a very big one and I would honestly consider it more offensive in terms of like... how they disrespect a legacy character by painting her as hormonal and incompetent.  But while I did enjoy the second half of The Killing Joke when it first came out, my views on it have sort of shifted in subsequent watches, because it's just such a bleak, bland movie lacking in personality or inspiration.  Especially when you compare it to the comic and see all the tiny little details that make up the emotional core of the narrative that the movie just completely skims over.

Wayforward's take on Darkstalkers would be a nice fit, too.

The one thing that unites all Sonic fans

nostalgic memories of this flash game

You fool. You're supposed to wait for the end of the funeral to start belting the title screen music of Mario Paint.

Sorry, sometimes I just can't DA DA DA DAAAAAAA DA

Eat your heart out Weird Al

Hi, this update means the world to me

I prefer In the End.

the winner takes all

its the thrill of one more kill, the last one to fall

Some part of me wants to see these Lyrics used in a Linkin Park styled song. The sheer dissonance would be hilarious.

Oh no, Seneddtor, it's the only thing I can think of now. If I knew how to compose a Linkin Park song, I would totally do this right now.

I can't believe y'all didn't mention Faint

F is for friends who do stuff together

YOU ARE NOT GOING TO INFECT THIS STATUS WITH THIS TRASH THIS IS A FAMILY STATUS YOU GOD DAMN PECKNECK

I worked very hard on this joke please laugh

no

plese

fine

thx

You’re weak zay

Three years of Tara is too much for anyone

Honestly, that's fair.

You see Zay, you give in too easily.

If you hadn't laughed, this might've been your chance to get Tara to ban you, but you messed it up. You truly are unbannable

If you wanted a ban, you'd have to be like Speederino here and have poor taste. But you missed your chance.

Speederino is now on my list of enemies.  It's a long list filled with only the most ruthless of thugs, assassins, and internet shitposters.  How does that make you feel?

Okay Arya

I know you are joking. But his eyes are green outside of that shot. =p

How can you see his eyes if your own eyes are too focused on the gaping hole stitched into his face where his mouth is supposed to go?

...Why does Sonic look like he wants to kill me?

Seriously, that shot is scary.

Good luck to you and all the mods.

Y'all are gonna need it.

I miss the days of Forces...

I'm going to read this status years from now and forget the context, then proceed to wondering what the hell enticed me to write such a cursed thing.

so this is how I die

choking on spaghetti

Meanwhile, Geoffrey St. John fucks Sally. HARD. Like a PRIMAL BEAST.

Oh, sure, you guys can talk about this sort of thing, but when I do it, all I get are responses like "this is supposed to be a place of worship" and "where's our regular pastor"?

I honestly don't know how to feel about it. 

it says a lot about our society

No its a Lifetime documentary 

"I'm so fucked up"

-LAUGH TRACK-

"It makes me sick.  Like hell I'll bathe in the water that Misato and stupid Shinji used.  Like hell I'll use the washer that Misato and stupid Shinji use to wash their underwear.  Like hell I'll sit on a toilet that Misato and stupid Shinji used.  Like hell I'll breathe the same air as Misato and stupid Shinji.  I hate Misato!  I hate Shinji!  And I hate the First Child even more!  I hate Dad!  I hate Mom!  And I hate myself the most!  I can't stand it anymore!"

"Hi, I'm Asuka Langley and you're watching Disney Channel!" -draws mouse ears with that glow stick thing as cheesy music plays-

Honestly the Sonic Discussion section hasn't been a section I've frequented regularly for years now unless a new game is coming, but I stick around this site because of you people. Being burned by the franchise doesn't mean you have to leave the forum entirely

@Ferno, oh absolutely.  That's why the Chit Chat and video games forums are here after all.  I just added the "I'm not leaving" section because I didn't want people to think I was lol.

That’s pretty much been me since Generations. Hell, when mania dropped, I only played through it once before moving on 

This is sad to think about, but I feel similarly. Sometimes it feels like I'm continuing to like Sonic for the bit.

This is exactly where I was at as soon as I started buying my own games so I feel you. No need to waste hard earned money on nonsense just to fly the Sonic flag

I used to get some of the bad games mostly because I used to enjoy dissecting them and seeing what worked and didn't.  It's not that I no longer like do that, but now that I buy them myself, I no longer see the games as standalone pieces to be examined, but how they stand in relation to the price tag and all the things I could have bought instead of it, which really takes a lot of the fun out of the examination.

These days I'm more into Sonic for fan content, mostly fan art and fan games. Far as official games... I just stick to buying only the rare good Sonic games such as Sonic Mania... I didn't even bother buying Sonic Forces. And I really doubt I'll drag myself to see the awful live action movie... which hurts me to say that as I wanted a in theaters Sonic movie far back as the 90s... however my old wish included it being fully animated obviously.

For a while I've basically been following this series with the drive of what it could be and never along the lines of what it is. The last time I really felt excited (with no strings attached) for something Sonic related was... Generations.

Yeah I follow a shitton of fanartists and stuff on Twitter and I like headcanon and stuff.

But I don't actually own Lost World or Forces and probably never will. Sonic Mania is fun but I've had my fill of it.

Wow that's been me for the past five years

You've finally reached it. Nirvana.

Welcome, may your money be used on better things

I'm proud of you

this thing's never getting revealed

Oh yeah because Homer and Marge were in their youth when modern Amy was a thing.

Finally, designs that can appeal to a modern audience.

Ah, Sonic the Hedgehog's greatest villain 

commitment 

sonic has tails' shoes and mohawk hair and separated eyes?

it's worse than we thought

@PaddyFancy You're missing the bigger issue that this is from a flashback to the 80s.

@Blue Blood, actually the episode explicitly mentions it as a flashback to the 90's... which creates some pretty big continuity errors in its own right, but...

At least Amy's no longer trying to touch him in a place or way that makes him feel uncomfortable.

@Tara I've never seen the episode personally, but back when it was new I people talking about it being a 80s flashback. But the episode is quite literally called "that 90s show" after two seconds of research.

It's an understandable mistake, because the episode takes place during a period of time that (in the context of the series) SHOULD take place in the 80's.  The shifting timescale in the series is pretty lazily done.
