What are your thoughts on Darkseid, /co/?

Overrated overpowered annoying anime villain bullshit.

>>86627582
He's a jobber and absolutely worthless as a character unless Kirby or Morrison are writing him. I don't care at all that the Snyderverse is setting him up as their end boss.
>>
>>86627582
He makes me want to sit in a chair every time I see him.

>>86627582

I enjoy the character concept a lot but how effective the major themes he embodies are used depends a lot on the writer.

Its funny but snyder is the only director i trust with the character. funny how Johns is the worst that could happen to Movie darkseid.

One of the best villains DC has, when they actually write him correctly. God, I fucking love Darkseid. He's basically the Sauron figure of the DC universe, the ultimate bad guy. Sure, there might be others as powerful or maybe even more so, but none of them have the presence, history, or potential as Darkseid has.

I love everything about him. He's embodies the concept of a tyrannical leader, the fascist god who sees everything as an opportunity to continue his cosmic cult of personality that should last forever in his eyes, a cult of personality that would prop up his corrupt, metaphysical oligarchy for all time.

I hate it when he's just written as a generic, evil alien overlord who's just an annoyance. It's freaking Darkseid.

And yes, Snyder will ruin him in his DCEU. I just want proper versions of him and all the other New Gods in live-action.

There will never be a VA to do his voice better than Michael Ironside. Whenever I see Darkseid in comics, his voice is what I read him with. And it's a goddamn shame WB won't recast him as Darkseid in the DCEU.
>>
>>86627725
>Its funny but snyder is the only director i trust with the character
Haha, wow.

Honestly, the only modern director I trust with the character is George Miller. Immortan Joe in Mad Max: Fury Road, I really feel to be basically Darkseid as it were. Honestly, one of the silver linings of the whole DCEU so far is that we may possibly, POSSIBLY get a New Gods movie directed by Miller or at least a JL sequel with Darkseid as the villain, again, directed by Miller.

>possibly, POSSIBLY get a New Gods movie directed by Miller or at least a JL sequel with Darkseid as the villain, again, directed by Miller

Kek I'm right there with you as far as hopes and dreams anon but there is literally no source on this and never has been
>>
>>86627666
well they technically do have their own dimension, its just their corporeal form thats tethered to the third dimension
>>
>>86627780
Also this. Although if he HAD to be casted in the DCEU, I'd go with whoever played Immortan Joe. But Ironside would be perfect.

Otherwise, Ironside IS Darkseid, pretty much and is by far and away the best Darky we've ever gotten. No other voice they've gotten for him has fit. They're all otherwise too generic. Ironside had that way of sounding like an evil overlord, but injecting a bit of personality into the voice, so that he didn't just sound like a generic evil villain. He was absolutely perfect in the role, sounding cold, calculating, so powerful and authoritative, yet still downright petty.

>>86627860
It could happen. Miller did want to direct the JL movie that never happened thanks to the writer's strike and thanks to WB releasing Fury Road, he's been working with them lately. And he's expressed interest in wanting to be involved with the DCEU iirc.

It's only a matter of time before a writer makes him somehow related to Tawky Tawny because he once said he was the Tiger-Force at the center of all things.
>>
>>86627866
This. New Genesis and Apokalips both exist in their own separate little "pockets" in the DC Multiverse. The New Gods are different from most other DC characters, in that they're multiversal constants: there's only ONE true version of each, whereas the versions of them that exist all across the universes are 'shades' of the real deal, mere suggestions or reflections or aspects of their true forms.

FTFY.

Sauron was just the apprentice that reaped on what the master sowed.

Also, on topic, despite being Thanos's equivalent in DC(or the other way around, never bothered to check who was first), he jobbed more times than a recurring stronk antagonist should. Never read any of the recommended list from him, though, so maybe he's still a good character that i just haven't got the oportunity to see.

This.

Can't believe they had Steve Blum voice him in War. Steve's good, but not as Darkseid.
>>
>>86628153
His role in JL is directly built on just how much he fucks up Superman's shit in S:TAS. I'm not surprised that you found him uninteresting, but if you were to see all of Superman's confrontations with Darkseid, from the first time Kalibak tries to invade Earth to Darkseid receiving the Anti-Life Equation, you will finally get a feel of just how well-written he is in the DCAU.

The JL episodes are the worst DCAU Darkseid episodes, but honestly I think JL is among the weakest DCAU entries (not counting Static and spinoffs). A lot of his presence in those episodes comes from how he already ruined Superman's life, but it made him come off weak and almost secondary.

STAS makes Darkseid exactly how he should be: Cold, calculating, petty, and grander than the universe itself. His episodes are among the absolute best in the DCAU. I thought the last JLU episode was a great final episode for the character.

Steppenwolf was getting great treatment in earth 2 until the writer shift. These guys are the baddest of the bad, serving the baddest fucker in the universe. When they show up it should be a very big deal.

That in turn makes Darkseid a bigger deal. Supes can beat Kalibak but it should be a tough fight for him
>>
>>86639357
Definitely agreed. I think Snyder knows this too, as this is exactly what he's doing for JL and JL2. Not only will it make Aquaman look good by temporarily making him the strongest guy on the team, it will also make Darkseid seem even more powerful by showing the entire JL struggle to beat Steppenwolf.

Finally, if his plan works, I think GL will be loved by the public once again beause I think he is the key to defeating Darkseid.

That looked like the plan for Young Justice.

But of course, we'll never know.

No, but if a dude of Thanos' power, stature and reputation can put on overalls and grow corn, he is, without question, chill as fuck.

His voice will always be that of Michael Ironside to me. There can be no substitute.

i disagree, my friend, farming is exceptionally hard work, i would bet he puts his heart and soul into it and is very serious about it, perhaps even more so than he is about destroying all life

>"Loser."

God that voice could fuck me for days. Even if he always loses, I like the idea that Darkseid can get under people's skins as his primary offense. I like the idea of an evil so absolute and divine in its machinations, that it drives the heroic to madness and hatred in the desire to thwart him. That could make him pretty cool in a non-supernatural sense; his actions always seem to bring out the worse in those who oppose him, like Superman.
>>
>>86627605
This guy gets it
>>
>>86643612

This. Darkseid is probably my favourite dc villain for a similar reason why Superman is my favourite dc hero. In the same way that superman is a selfless everyman worker in a gigantic scale, darkseid is the archetypal tyrant, the ever-present bully who feels justified in his actions and has no humanity left whatsoever. He can destroy you physically and mentally, he can corrupt the likes of Mary Marvel, superman and Dan Turpin. Darkseid is the evil at the core of all things, and he knows it damn well and will let everyone else know it as well.

Farmer Thanos is a Thanos who lost all ambitions. He may be chill, but it not a same thing as Darkside, who's very chill even trying to conqure everything.

>>86627824
>Honestly, the only modern director I trust with the character is George Miller. Immortan Joe in Mad Max: Fury Road, I really feel to be basically Darkseid as it were.

Everything about Fury Road made me wish we got his Justice League movie. Maybe it was Brendan McCarthy's input, but it was comic book as fuck.
>>
>>86644626
Shame, it can't happen cause Fury Road didn't make money. While shit like SS or BvS makes tons of it.
>>
>>86644220
Different anon here: I love DC's stable of characters, with Supes as my favorite hero period and Darkseid in my top 3 favorite villains.

Snyder's done some great work, but MoS and BvS were shit.

The current Darkseid shard is also a farmer... maybe they can go agriculurate together or something.
>>
Darkseid is cool, minus all the anti-life equation stuff.

Like, the anti-life thing is just mind control in a universe which there are multiple supers who can mind control people all day.
>>
>>86645121
Unlike normal mind control, the ALE is supposed to permanently erode the soul and make the victim into the master's eternal pawn.

Unfortunately it's been used and countered repeatedly in comics by shitty writers.
>>
>>86645121
If anything, anti life is one of the best aspects of Darkseid. It's not mind control, it proves free will is worthless. It's also a lifestyle of absolute misery, one can be self conscious and still se anti life around himself.
>>
>>86634604
He's sort of a cross between Satan, Hitler and Nixon. He's ultimate evil, he's a space tyrant, but he's also very personable, an archetypal old establishment figure that looks down on you, personally, and judges you for your life choices. He's someone who always responds to the heroes' adherence to idealism and greater good with the mocking eyes of an old veteran who's been there, done that, and decided it was all bullshit.

Essentially imagine a guy who went to Vietnam, got all the goodness burned out of him there, and then became a top Wall Street shark. Now imagine him in his New York penthouse, looking down on Millennials fighting for safe spaces and transgender bathrooms. That's how Darkseid sees superheroes.

Thanks, I had to head out to work after asking that question. If you needed sleep when you got home I understand, looking forward to seeing them.

its literally a math equation that proves darkseid's will is ultimate and nothing else matters how is that not the sickest sounding shit you ever heard

>>86634685
That's Mongul
>>
>>86647127
Does anyone have that one post from that anon saved where Superman confused all three of them?
>>
>>86646234
I think it was Timm who said that both Darkseid and Luthor were absorbed into the Source Wall. Even if the DCAU continuity were to continue the only path it could take to let Darkseid, Brainiac, and Luthor free would be to adapt Countdown, and Dini's pretty much wrote the whole thing already and I doubt he'd want to adapt his own story.
>>
>>86645157
>>86645286
>>86647012

If the Anti Life equation is so good, then why hasn't Darkseid already conquered the universe with it?

ALE is nothing compared to plot armor.
>>
>>86647183
he already conquered earth once (along with the countless other earths he has been shown to have destroyed), and because of superman. read a comics and you will see why.
>>
>>86647183
loneliness + alienation + fear + despair + self-worth ÷ mockery ÷ condemnation ÷ misunderstanding × guilt × shame × failure × judgment n=y where y=hope and n=folly, love=lies, life=death, self=dark side

You will now commit suicide.
>>
>>86647216

All I see is plot armor and anime-tier "hurrr you can fight it" speeches. Also, ass pulls like the metron emblem which conveniently get pulled every other elseworld.
>>
>>86647282
then it isnt your thing anon, simple as that
>>
>>86647297
No, he's right. The ALE should've stayed a menacing background threat, never getting used.

Using it means the heroes have to beat it, and beating it means it's not what it was built up to be.

Publishing it (like in >>86647218 ) was a mistake too.
>>
>>86627582
Islamic State
>>
>>86647799
i agree to publish it was a mistake, but i think the only time the ALE shouldve ever been used was in final crisis, and after that never again (excluding other media, reboots) but basically once per universe and if its beaten darkseid's fucked for a while i guess

>>
I remember a theory going around during Final Crisis that the Speed Force was the Life Equation (the stagnation of a life of mindless slavery vs. the power and freedom of constant motion). That would have been cool.

The best way to fix the DC movies would be to say that Darkseid is behind the Snyderverse grimdarkness.

Darkseid war and specifically grail is a funny thing.

Then i noticed there was a one shot i had missed.
Shes fucking devientart oc tier holy shit.
>>
>>86647218
>>86647183

Since the Anti Life equation came from beyond the source wall I always thought it was absolute proof to the characters that they were not real and because of that they have no free will, that they have literally nothing and are nothing. And they submit to Darkseid because the writers decree that they do.

It's head canon sure but I like it better than what Morrison did
>>
>>86654847
>i'm an atheist. but that's also why i hate superman
Superman doesn't mind if you don't believe in him, anon.

Meh, kinda stupid. Mainly because his minions are all over the fucking place. He has a neanderthal for a son, a evil fat grandma as a general, a German coming out of some US WWI propaganda and the New Gods he fights are hardly better.

They are gods. You may as well ask why the hindi gods are so varied or on a higher level the varied domains and intrests of the endless or even at a lower level why etrigan looks nothing like baytor or even merlin.

>>86627582
He becomes a lot less threatening when you learn he had a dad and isn't the alpha patriarch of the Apokolips pantheon.

Concepts and Tiger Forces don't have dads.

You didnt saw Sucker Punch?
>>
>>86654830
The only time DC has done damage control over Johns was after Blackest night. So he isnt good with them.
>>
>>86655736
Don't be ridiculous, nobody saw Sucker Punch.
>>
>>86655358
I think that's part of the point. The only way for his minions to differentiate themselves is through ridicule. Darkseid will not allow an individual other than himself on Apokolips unless they're an utter caricature and laughing stock, as a small warning for other people who would want to rise beyond their station as well.

Not only will Darkseid not let you be what you want, he won't let you look cool doing what you don't want either. That's a whole new level of evil right there.
>>
>>86654847
is this what its like to feel baited?
>>
>>86655521
concepts could definitely have "dads" i.e. ideas that lead or segue into other ideas

I've always liked the concept of Evil Overlords thanks to Sauron, and I certainly love how Darkseid doesn't have fanboy writers that just let him win all the time like his cross company counterpart.

He's a solid villain, a legitimate threat whenever he shows up and I think he deserves to be an upcoming big bad in the DCEU
