Could they possibly use him without ruining him?
How?

>Could they possibly use him without ruining him?
All they have to do is play up that sort of colorful european aristocracy feel the old Apokalips portrayals had. They keep turning aesthetically memorable and wordy villains into rough-skinned gray things that only roar and snarl.
It would be so easy to do it well.
Christopher Sanchez
Zack couldn't.
Dominic Watson
That would actually be a great Mongul.
Colton Flores
Bring up Steppenwolf's mom
Jacob Long
Tey can't. Darkseid is too much for movies. It will never be perfect. Darkseid is unadaptable. Darkseid is above other cape villains. Darkseid is. They would try to reduce him to a joke so retards like most of nu/co/ can like him. The ultimate evil is unadaptable.
Chase Morgan
I can smell the cheeto dust from your post
Camden Mitchell
ahahahahah
>r-release the snyder cut
hehehehehehehehhehehehe
Joshua Wood
Keep him true to his character, a genuine unrepentant asshole.
Carson Baker
>He's so abstract, he's above everything and untouchable, except when he's getting punched around by Superman, raping women, getting outsmarted by Batman, and being a petty enough dick to lash out against insults
This is why I look on meta navelgazing with derision, it's people looking too deeply into funny books where people in costumes punch on each other.
Ryan Campbell
Keep him like his Superman TAS appearance. He's the guy who is so powerful he doesn't need to lift a finger, he has Justice League level threats groveling at his feet begging for his favor. He speaks in lofty, self-aggrandizing descriptions but he is being utterly truthful in the unbelievable things he says. He doesn't throw a punch, he just grabs you and pushes you down to your fucking knees where you belong.
Grayson Hill
nope. he would've tried turning earth into apokolips because they don't know other fucking plot than terraforming
David Johnson
I lost the track of Smallville after Lana the witch, but Lionel Luthor gave me a Darksied-lite vibe
Carter Garcia
first JL movie should've been Emerald Twilight.
Aiden Campbell
He literally got posessed by Darkseid in the last season.
Ian Richardson
poor mans Thanos
Lucas Young
Is there even a SINGLE character who can possibly TOUCH Darkseid?
Jackson Young
He will double dip.
Every day and twice on Sunday.
Henry Gutierrez
Jordan Hill
They're going to change his reasons for wanting the anti-life equation to create eternal peace instead of wanting to break people. Having a 100% evil guy in superhero movies is not gonna fly well nowadays, so he'll get ruined either way.
Samuel Collins
>Darkseid is.
Darkseid is kinda boring, thats what Darkseid is.
Isaiah Sullivan
Build him up for six movies.
Oh wait
Oliver Cox
Is there really anything to build up for Darkseid?
Thanos at least had the infinity stones to collect, each with a different power. So you sprinkled the stones throughout different movies as macguffians so that you get an immediate sense of escalation when Thanos goes after all of them. "Just one of these could destroy whole worlds, and this guy had a full set, holy shit".
You didn't need multiple movies to build up Thanos's personality and character, because Infinity War basically did all of that from scratch.
Darkseid doesn't really have anything to sprinkle. You can sum the guy up pretty easily in a sentence or two, and unlike the stones there isn't really any way to drop the Anti Life equation into movies as foreshadowing because if there is ever enough of it to recognize as being the anti-life equation Darkseid has basically already won.
And thats before you got to the fact that 'The Anti-Life Equation' is a really bad name for a mind control weapon. It takes way too much time to explain why the edgy name makes any kind of sense and its going to confuse casual audiences into thinking that Darkseid just wants to kill everyone like knockoff Thanos.
Carson Sanchez
>Thanos but made of rocks and is even more bad at math
Luke Bennett
Honest question: if the point of the anti-life equation is to prove to people that free will is pointless and make them submit to the will of Darkseid... wouldn't it only work on people smart enough to understand it?
Most people are not mathematicians. Especially the kind of mathematician that abstracts values like 'Hope' as a variable. The vast majority of people, exposed to the full glory of the anti-life equation, won't understand what any of it means and it will fail to have an impact on them.
Ian Jenkins
he is outsmarted because he dont see barman as an oponent but as an ant or mosquito we kil them easily but sometimes they can "outsmart" as humans
Gavin Carter
Here.
Maybe, MAYBE GER.
Nolan Bailey
You would think, after being beaten and outsmarted by people from Earth for decades, Darkseid would learn not to underestimate them. I guess that makes Darkseid the worst kind of stupid: just smart enough to think he is more intelligent than everyone else, despite evidence to the contrary.
