If the Simpons aged in real time, today Maggie would be 35, Lisa 41 (42 in May), Bart 43 (44 in Dec.) and Marge and Homer 66 (March 67 in Oct. and Homer 67 in May).

In Gunn’s new, mainline DCU, you’re right, they wouldn’t do that, unless its set in the future or he time travels back to the past. They’re establishing a new timeline that they hope will rival the MCU. They’ll want a Batman that’s in the age range of the other characters and to be around for a while. My guess, he…

Agreed they don’t need to, but I’m pretty sure they’re using The Flash movie to entirely reset the DCEU, not just Barry. Nothing we’ve seen from the DCEU will be cannon post-The Flash.

After this movie. Flashpoint-Barry resets the timeline, ending Flashpoint and his timeline, but the reset timeline also isn’t the normal DCEU-timeline. It’s a new timeline with a new, non-Ezra Miller Barry.

Makes sense. I assume the film’s opening action sequence is going to feature a portion of the Justice League. I figured just Batfleck, but adding Wonder Woman makes the team up even more justicier; after which Barry and Batfleck have a heart-to-heart; after which Barry decides to change the past; after which we get…

This would be a great twist.

That’s fair. I always thought they’d be playing live action versions of their characters. Tawny Newsome and Jack Quaid are good live-action actors and they look close enough to their animated characters that it would work. Yeah, at 40 and 30, they’re a bid old to be ensigns, but they could play younger. 

First I heard of them using mixed live-action and animation for the episode. Everything I read before said they’d be playing the characters in live-action.

Yeah, I mean they literally named the Empire’s “special” forces stormtroopers (yes, special is doing a lot of work there) after the nazi’s stormtroopers.

This ships at the end of TRoS are a heterogeneous collection of ships from around the galaxy. Although the New Republic dismantled the Alliance’s fleet, local systems kept their own defensive forces. The idea (good or bad) was to return to the pre-Clone Wars position where the galactic government did not have a…

In defense of their marketing department, the marketing was accurate. Most of the fun stuff from the original “about a kid who turned into a goofy superhero” is absent from this movie. Gone is the feeling of “Big” but with superpowers.

Fading out in the background of hyperspace as quickly as they appear, the Starfighter is shadowed by at first one, and then two, and then a whole herd pod of massive, tentacled creatures that look like massive alien whales.

Correct. Originally the idea was to destroy the special district, which would have returned the land to the local counties its in and put the tax burden on those counties/towns.

It’s not completely clear what’s going on in this universe yet (and from reviews, it sounds it’s never fully explained why/how the world is the way it is, eg, far more advanced-Jetson’s like technology in a 50's style world that has far more racial equality [but still gender inequality] than the real world 50's).

This makes sense. The Avengers had the power to destroy the mind stone, but chose to delay destroying it to try and save one of their own (Vision).

Your comment about Mordecai and the Regular Show reminded me a conversation I had with a friend about Top Gun: Maverick. My buddy was upset that the movie didn’t explain what happened to Charlie and her relationship with Maverick.

I think you’re right, Flashpoint-Barry becomes the Reverse Flash for this film. My guess is:

German wasn’t even comparing it to the sequel trilogy, he was only comparing it to Solo and Rise of Skywalker.

Well said. Moreover, and almost even more terrifying, the fungus doesn’t make the infected want to bite others. It doesn’t make the infected want to do anything. There’s no mind control. In fact, up until the very end, it leaves the victim’s brain more or less untouched.
