Let's Fight

In which Jock manages to get on Zack's bad side in record time!

@zackastor

Zack Astor

-with his limited supply of cigarettes, he should probably try to ration them but this whole event wakes up the urge to smoke and so he finds himself heading to the back of the community center, where he and Isaac talked; the smoke detector is back up on the ceiling and he reaches up to rip it off again; cigarette between his lips and smoke detector in hand, he notices that he isn't alone- You got a problem, pal?

Jock

-the night had been going well for Jock. He hadn't had a full blown panic attack yet and he had even managed to be sociable. Even so, he knew he had to pace himself if he didn't want to burn out and need to leave early. So he took himself to the back of the Community Centre to a quieter area. There he was joined by a tall man who seemed to take issue with the smoke detector.-

"I don't think that's a good idea."

-he said, pointing to the smoke detector-

"But I ain't gonna stop ya if that's yer thing!"

Zack Astor

I didn't ask what you were thinking. -Zack responds, considering the smoke detector for a moment before he decides to drop it onto the ground; bits of plastic and electronics chip off as it hits; he goes to light his smoke- Who the hell are you?

Jock

-So far, everyone else in Redwood has been very friendly and welcoming. It would seem Jock had found someone who didn't fit into that demographic. Trying not to take this guy's bad attitude personally, Jock watched as he lit his cigarette.-

"I'm Jock. Who the hell are you?"

Zack Astor

Jock? Your parents named you Jock? Jesus. -he snickers, inhaling the smoke and blowing it out; the smoke detector at his feet suddenly starts beeping; Zack digs the heel of his boot into it, crushing the thing- I'm Zack. Figures you're fresh meat.

Jock

-He considered telling this guy the whole story of how Jock was actually a nickname he had claimed for himself but came to the conclusion this guy didn't care.-

"Yeah, I'm new 'round here. Thanks for the warm welcome."

Zack Astor

Absolutely no problem. -he gives the other man a wolvish grin as he steps closer, slowly sizing him up as he does- What's your war story then, kid?

Jock

-He recognises that look where he's being sized up. He also recognises the intimidation tactic of closing in on someone else's personal space. Despite his instincts screaming at him to run in the opposite direction, a jolt of rare boldness makes him stand a little taller as he stares back at Zack-

"Born and raised in DC. Escaped the city and lived on a farm not far from here until it wasn't viable to stay there any longer so I came here. You?"

Zack Astor

-he stops in front of Jock, close enough that the other man would have to tilt his head back to properly look at him; a smile is playing on his lips as he regards the other man with narrowed eyes- Huh. So what made you leave? Walkers? Or was the work too hard for you? -he asks, ignoring the question posed to him-

Jock

-Jock does crane his neck back so he can maintain eye contact with Zack. Whatever game Zack wanted to play, Jock wasn't interested in it. So he rolls his eyes at him-

"You wanna know what's hard work? You. I feel like you're about to bully me out of my lunch money or some shit."

Zack Astor

-Zack's eyes widen for a split-second, something lighting up in them- Oh, am I now. -it isn't a question; in the next moment, he grabs Jock by the front of his shirt and slams him against the wall- Better live up to my damn reputation then.

Jock

-well shit, Jock should've seen this coming from a mile away! But he didn't so now he's pinned against the wall after having the air knocked out of his lungs. He wheezes but doesn't struggle against Zack's grip; struggling is a waste of energy after all.-

"If you wanna get any closer, you gotta buy me dinner first."

Zack Astor

Oh really? -Zack's shark like grin widens, as he raises an eyebrow; he leans in, their faces just a few inches apart, his grip on Jock's shirt tightening; a flicker of bloodlust in his eyes- And how exactly are you gonna stop me?

Jock

-This guy was bigger and stronger than Jock, and he already had him pinned against the wall. There was no way for Jock to get out of this without getting hurt so he just resigned himself to that fact. If anything, this was taking him back to his high school days, despite how few of those he had thanks to pricks like Zack. But if Zack was gonna hurt Jock, Jock was going to try his best to hurt him back.-

-Despite Zack's tightening grip on his shirt, Jock strikes Zack in the throat with the side of his hand. He then pushes back at the other man with both feet, kicking his legs out as hard as he can to get Zack to release him.-

Zack Astor

-he hadn't quite expected the hit to his throat and it nocks the breath out of him for a second; his grip on Jock slips a little, allowing the man to get free but not for long; Zack grabs onto the back of his jacket, using the momentum of his push and throws him down onto the ground- Oh you wanna fucking fight. Let's fight.

Jock

-Jock thinks he's free and starts to make a run for it. But Zack recovered quick and managed to not only grab his jacket but throw him on the ground. Jock could feel panic beginning to claw at his consciousness as flashbacks of the torment his high school bullies put him through began playing in his mind's eye.-

-He would shoot back some smart comment but he can't. His brain is frozen and his only instinct is to escape. So he scrambles to his feet and starts running, knowing that while he was quick, Zack was going to catch up quick. All Jock had to do was make it back into the main room where all the people were.-

Zack Astor

-he watches as Jock scrambles up and and starts running off; almost immediately, Zack follows him; with his long legs and training, it doesn't take too long to catch up; reaching out, he grabs ahold of Jock's shirt, yanking him back; within a few moments he throws Jock into one of the empty rooms, down onto the ground before following in and closing the door behind him- Weren't you taught that you don't run away from hounds? -Zack looms over him, grin on his face as he steps closer- Just makes them want to chase you, kid.

Jock

-His chest feels tight as panic begins to take over. Of course Zack caught up with him before he could reach safety; how else was that going to play out? And so now Jock found himself in a small room, in a heap on the floor as Zack towered over him, grinning like he was getting off on this shit.-

"Weren't you taught it's not nice to torment others?"

-Jock's voice wavers with the panic he feels and he knows, just knows deep in his bones, Zack is going to beat the shit out of him any moment now. He is almost resigned to it, just like he did back in high school whenever his bullies caught up to him like this. All he can do is brace himself and try to spot an escape route as quickly as possible.-

Zack Astor

-he stares down at Jock, teeth bared as he kneels down on top of him; deliberately slowly, knowing full well that there is little the kid can do to fight him- Do I look like a nice guy, kid? -he asks, grabbing Jock by his throat and pinning him down; the pressure is not enough to choke him, but enough to be a threat- Now, what are you gonna do, Jock? You gonna try and smart mouth me some more? Or try and fight me?

Jock

-At this point, Jock knows he's fucked. If he tries to fight back, Zack will hit him back harder. If he tries to argue with him, Zack will shut him up with his fists slamming into Jock's face. If he does nothing, Zack will get bored and still hit him. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. But at least if he does nothing, he could prolong the time it takes for Zack to break his nose or worse.-

-So Jock does nothing. He doesn't even tense up as Zack's hand tightens around his neck. He just stares back at the bully, calmly awaiting his painful fate, despite feeling anything but calm on the inside.-

Zack Astor

-his gaze dots over Jock's face, violence crackling in the air for a moment; he seems about ready to beat the shit out of Jock; then suddenly, he pushes himself back onto his feet- I'm done with you. Leave.

Jock

-Seemingly against all odds, Jock's decision to do nothing was the right one. Zack pushes himself off of Jock and back onto his feet. Jock blinks up at Zack before he too gets to his feet and immediately heads for the door. He doesn't say a word, knowing anything he says now will likely make Zack change his mind-

cheerfullynihilistic said: THE SNYDER CUT

Anonymous said: You don’t seem to think Superman’s public rep will take another beating from the Snyder Cut coming out. Honestly I thought you’d be way more upset than you seemed on Twitter.

Anonymous said: So uhh, against all thoughts and logic the Snyder cut is being released? Maybe as a mini series? Thoughts?

Anonymous said: SNYDER CUT!

Bullies. Jocks. Guys angrily asking if we know who their father is. Assorted dudebro nerd-oppressors of America:

You have failed us. You have failed us so hard. What else do we even keep you around for if not to head this shit off at the pass? Shame on you.

Okay, so seriously: I’m actually gonna put most bitching and moaning under a cut, because I know firsthand there are as many as several non-slavering maniacs out there who dug Man of Steel and Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and who are simply and entirely reasonably excited that they’re getting this movie after all. I don’t feel like throwing a wall of text at them shitting all over this, so I’ll lead off with I think some fairly even-handed commentary on the real-world circumstances here, rambling speculation regarding the production, and some cautious optimism about the actual movie/s. THEN I’ll get to what I imagine most of you are here to see.

So totally in a vacuum: this is a cool, good thing. I’m the notorious theatrical Justice League-liker, but at best it was a compromised product due to the original creator - who like it or not clearly had an incredibly ambitious personal vision for these characters and their world - suffering a horrific tragedy forcing him off the project, and leaving his final stamp on blockbuster culture and a world he’d devoted years of his life to a flop with his name on it when he couldn’t even truly call it his own anymore. At worst, said tragedy was taken advantage of by suits to ditch him in the home stretch so as to try and shove out something ostensibly more marketable. But now because of a...very loyal fanbase, the man’s getting the opportunity and resources to rise like a phoenix and see at least some of his vision through in a huge way. That’s pretty remarkable.

Not in a vacuum this is fucking horrifying. I’ve already seen folks poo-poohing the reflexive fears that this will ‘set a precedent’, and they were right enough that I deleted my initial tweet on the subject because I didn’t think I could express my own opinion with any nuance in the space of 280 characters. Yeah, nerd whining definitely shaped Rise of Skywalker (another movie I enjoyed in spite of the circumstances of its creation). Hell, Sonic the Hedgehog crunched its CGI team prior to unceremoniously firing them to redesign his model thanks to outcry. That’s already a market force, and just to be clear upfront, if we can’t agree the predominant mode of operation for #ReleaseTheSnyderCut has been a toxic nerd harassment campaign when they spammed posts memorializing deceased actors and chased Diane Nelson off Twitter, we’re not gonna be able to have this conversation. And director’s cuts are you may have noticed also already a thing. But this isn’t changing direction on a project that’s already going to exist no matter what, this is turning back 3 years later on a commercial flop and dumping tens of millions of dollars into it, explicitly in response to that harassment campaign. It’s not *actually* going back and, say, remaking The Last Jedi, but by god to the naked eye it’s gonna be as good as for plenty of fanboys, and probably to some shortsighted execs as well. This is a new thing, and in this context it is a very, very bad one. Hopefully one that won’t amount to anything.

As for the movie itself: what the hell is this thing going to end up being? I assume with this sort of cashola being pumped into it we’re not getting any slapdash greenscreen or storyboarded sequences, but four hours? Is it really just going to be an expanded and revised version of what we saw in theaters, or is this including content that would have been in the originally planned Justice Leagues 2 and 3? My understanding is that those were already compressed into a single Justice League 2 before plans collapsed altogether, were they maybe filming side-by-side and this’ll be the whole shebang? If not is Snyder going to hedge his bets and end this on a clean note, or keep it ending on a cliffhanger in hopes HBO will throw another $250 million his way to keep going? Does DC want to keep going? Would they give into fan pressure on releasing after all what was widely publicized as the first film of a duology or trilogy with dangling threads if they weren’t going to be at least watching the numbers to see the feasibility of returning to this in a bigger way? Not that I think WB execs would piss into Snyder’s mouth if he were dying of thirst at this point if he simply asked to be able to do Justice League 2, but if he floated that if they instead just give him a liiiiiiiitle more money he can finally deliver unto them their very own Avengers - one that they can work on even during quarantine since it’s mostly just VFX work left - and hey if it works out he’s got a sequel or two cued up and ready to go? Maybe they look at their scattered plans and say the hell with it and end up giving this a theatrical release and sequel with Snyder holding the reigns again if this ends up a killer app; stranger things have happened, if not many, and somehow this is already happening in the first place after all. Alternatively, if this succeeds, could they go “thanks and good on ya, totally do another, but it’s gonna be an HBO exclusive so you’re only getting a hundred million, figure it out”? Would Ben Affleck return? How much reshooting will he be willing to commit to even for this? And most importantly, since this is potentially going to be serialized as six ‘episodes’, will We Got This Covered count this as another ‘win’ since their bullshit rumor mill algorithm spit out “Justice League HBO TV show” recently?

As for the project itself: I ain’t subscribing to HBOMax for this bad boy, but once it becomes more widely available I can’t claim I won’t probably watch it. It’s basically a new movie about the Justice League, and if there’s anything I WOULD wanna see Zack Snyder do in the DCU, it’s the movie finally moving past pseudo-realism (aside from some of those dopey costumes) and leaning all the way into godlike superbeings bludgeoning each other through continents. I absolutely wanna see his aesthetic take on the Green Lantern Corps, and New Genesis, and time travel, and all the other weird promises of where his movies were going to go climaxing in a ridiculous super-war across all spacetime. It’s the same reason J.G. Jones was an exciting choice for Final Crisis before he had to leave, seeing a guy known for his work in an ultra-real grungy superhero style starting there and building up to seeing his version of absolutely wild cosmic spectacle. And no, to respond to one of the initial asks, I’m not worried about the impact on Superman. Everyone seems to have accepted this is its own distinct thing whether they like it or not, I think him getting to complete his ‘arc’ will quiet down many of the folks who like to yell at every other version as retro nonsense since now they’ll be able to be smug about having had the best take rather than pining for a lost finale, and I’m not interested in further Superman movies at the moment anyway with Superman & Lois in the pipe (which I was originally paranoid would be endangered by this when rumors first started floating, but if it’s been brewing since November then if they wanted to strike that down to ‘make room’ according to their Byzantine ever-shifting rules, they would have by now). Far as I’m concerned, as long as the other DC movies get to keep doing what they’re doing during and past this - even Pattinson in his corner, however that works - then totally let Snyder work out all his Wagnerian superhero bullshit for another flick or two. If nothing else, maybe we’ll learn what the hell that diagram up there is supposed to mean. And a plea I want to clarify upfront is wholeheartedly sincere: we’re already down the rabbit hole, so let Snyder to literally whatever he wants with his non-theatrically released Justice League. Zero input or veto power from outside parties. If he wants Flash to hang dong or Superman to say fuck or Batman to learn he’s Steppenwolf’s secret dad or Cyborg to learn he needs to eat babies to fuel his machine parts, let him go for it. Whole point is this is now his thing for people who want his thing.

Okay, beneath the cut the filter comes off, so go ahead if that’s your jam.

Hahahahahahaha this is gonna be such a fuckin’ shitshow you guys, Jesus Christ.

They’re giving the dude who did BvS and wants to make an Ayn Rand adaptation someday $30 million to take another crack at this monstrosity! 30 goddamn million smackaroos for four fucking hours of by many accounts roughly the same basic movie, except now presumably with what little coherency, fun, and clean character work the theatrical cut managed to pull off excised in return for weighty staring, ponderous pseudo-philosophical musings, hackneyed symbolism, aimless mythology teasing, and Steppenwolf I understand being decapitated by Wonder Woman at the end rather than taken back to Apokolips. I didn’t even spoiler mark that shit because don’t you dare pretend you care about the fate of Steppenwolf. I won’t have it.

I used to wonder if I was indeed missing the forest for the trees with these movies, that I was so inflexible in my personal image of these characters - even though I appreciate plenty of alternate takes on them and even some stories that bend or break what I consider their ‘rules’, just not these - that I was incapable of grasping or appreciating these films on their own merits as works of art using those archetypes in wildly different ways; even I could see there were good moments and interesting ideas on display despite seemingly failing to come together. No matter how much I personally deconstructed how and why it wasn’t working, I couldn’t do it to my own satisfaction to the point of stamping out that niggling little worry with how many folks whose opinions I respect love ‘em. Until I finally remembered that the Cadmus arc of Justice League Unlimited is totally the same basic story as BvS, centrally driven by an even worse take on Superman, and that’s still one of the best superhero stories of all time. These just stink by any merits, and while I think Justice League absolutely has the potential to be the most *entertaining* of the bunch, it’s not going to magically become *good* in the eleventh hour. Not to lift up Joss Whedon of all people as some kind of savior, I’m on the record that my love for Justice League as-is is some kind of inexplicable alchemical accident, but I promise that there is not going to be one single addition to this movie that’s going to make up for the removal of “Just save one person”.

Also I’m already not looking forward to dudes tweeting “whoa, he’s splitting it up into a serialized narrative, reflective of the sequential nature of the characters’ primitive native pictorial medium! Or mayhap in ode to the pulp film adventure serials which inspired those in turn! Even the Justice League children’s cartoon for dumb babies, which was itself...made up of episodes! That’s three references in the structure of the thing alone! The man’s operating on an entirely different level!” “God, isn’t it amazing how much better he understands the source material than you”, they shall say, about a man who I understand just very confidently referred to Doomsday in his livestream as having destroyed Krypton in the comics. Again, don’t you say they won’t, just the other day I saw folks tweeting they just realized that since Jor-El wears armor over his bodysuit that technically means Superman’s whole costume is underwear which means Snyder’s totally honoring that without putting him in ugly dumb red panties so checkmate, dorks.

(Okay, in fairness, I know Snyder was saying that’s his take on what happened to the moon in the past of the movies and maybe I only misheard that he thought that also happened in the comics, and it’s trivial information anyway. Still sucks though, that seeming out-of-nowhere Jax-Ur shoutout was like the one thing I liked about that otherwise interminable Krypton sequence. And why is there a second Doomsday? You did Death of Superman already!)

And further SPOILER thoughts below on the reported plots of 2 and 3:

It’s also an amazing, perfect sort of narrative synchronicity that the hypocrisy of Man of Steel in presenting Superman as a savior would (will?) be matched by the movies also rejecting that promise long-term. In there, Jor-El’s musings on the capacity of every living thing being capable of good, the closest the film has to a singular moral statement, are proven wrong when Zod has to be put down like a mad dog, and rather than the one who’ll bring us into the sun, Kal-El’s presence draws ruin from beyond the stars to our world. And again in BvS with Doomsday. And again in Justice League 1-3, where in spite of claims by Snydercutters that it’s okay for Superman to be a really lousy take on Superman because it’s totally supposed to take several movies after putting on the costume and calling himself Superman, including his own death and resurrection, for him to really, like, become Superman, man, he remains a liability to the end. His death lures in Steppenwolf, the Kryponian matrix in his genes is Darkseid’s goal, he becomes the villain of the first act of Justice League 3 - possibly of his own free will depending on which version you’ve heard about - and at the final showdown, it’s Batman who sacrifices himself to stop Darkseid and save the world and inspire the rise of superheroism, because Batman, you see, rules, whereas Superman, stay with me here, drools. A letdown given BvS was just about the one major story of the last 30 years to unambiguously conclude Superman is better than Batman, but not a shocker. None of what I understand goes down in these - iconography from the likes of Fourth World, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Death and Return of Superman, Rock of Ages, Final Crisis, and Injustice reused but stripped of all context and thematic weight that gives it meaning (even Injustice is built on the premise of having a ‘good’ Superman to contrast the dictator); Lois being the ‘key’ because of her connections to two men, one she married and one she bears; time travel that even by the very generous suspension of disbelief applied to it in a genre like this operates by two obviously completely different sets of rules in its only two uses, and is then used to write the entire second movie of the trilogy out of continuity in the first act of the third, making one and a half of these movies pointless - is shocking. It’s just more empty notions and unfulfilled promises offered up to a fanbase staking everything on the idea that all the tampering, all the wild swings, all the meandering, it’s all building UP to something, not possibly just a dude who doesn’t understand these characters but wanting to look very clever with them before building up to one more rad punch-up. So yes, make these movies. Let what can be gleaned from them as worthwhile be revealed, leave the rest of it up for examination to be judged as it deserves and let it, finally. Finally. Be done.
