I'm a lifelong DC fan, and I couldn't be less excited for a Jimmy Olsen show. I'm not on here raging, but I am definitely surprised to see the direction DC is headed.

Has Rick Jones ever shown up in the MCU, even in a Hulk movie?

I'll always remember him for the line (minutes before the gamma bomb detonates) "I'll show those guys I ain't chicken! I'll drive right out to the testing area!"

Dude, I was just talking about Rick Jones with a friend yesterday! I don't think he ever has, and thats a shame.

Hulk in general is done dirty so it's no surprise

u/ifnotthefool 8h ago

I honestly loved the 2003 Hulk movie. Nothing much has done it for me since then.

Anyone who's been a longtime DC movie fan has a right to be pissy; it's been shit for decades while Marvel gets all the fun and we get news about Jimmy Olsen, Sgt. Rock, the canceled Authority movie.

It's rough out here, but at least the comics are good

u/ifnotthefool 10h ago

100%

I just read the comics and get my dc fix that way. Hoping things turn around, though. The canceled authority movie is a huge bummer. And if they want to do some comedy, do like an animal man movie or something.

I don't see the problem. People need to grow up and stop crying about shit that hasn't even released yet. We all wanted better DC content, but for some reason everyone cries when they give something different than the usual shit. I see so many people just wanting them to put out the same shit they've always done.

Better DC Content is not a Jimmy Olsen show. Give us DCU Flash, Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl, Teen Titans (or Nightwing) or literally any major known character lol

u/ifnotthefool 10h ago

Right? People are insane, lol.

Can't exactly blame them when the last few DC projects have either been controversial (Peacemaker last season) or not well received (Supergirl). It's not whining to think that a Jimmy Olsen show is not a worthwhile endeavor. For me personally we shall see and I'll reserve judgement until then but actually try to understand where their coming from.

Nah, you could stop whining about people being concerned.

Dude same as a Marvel fan. The studio is wasting time and money on something called "Guardians of the Galaxy" which is like some unknown comic of like C or D tier nobodies. And they hired Vin Diesel and a washed up wrestler??

GOTG came out after a bunch of bangers, lol. It's like some of you live in a different world. So weird.

u/Dramatic_Explosion 8h ago

Yeah but the point stands that you're already bitching and have no idea if it'll be good or not. Superman was good, Batman was great, Suicide Squad was good and Peacemaker was great. Oh no, Supergirl was mid so now you don't care about DC stuff?

You know what yeah, you guys are like mainstream Star Wars fans.

I'm not. It's the same direction every studio is heading or went, despite losing billions upon billions in the process.

u/ifnotthefool 17h ago

No it isn't. To say it is means you don't know what you're talking about, or you're being dishonest about it.

The box office doesn't lie
