When janitor Winston Gooze is exposed to a catastrophic toxic accident, he’s transformed into a new kind of hero: The Toxic Avenger. Now, Toxie must rise from outcast to savior, taking on ruthless corporate overlords and corrupt forces who threaten his son, his friends, and his community. In a world where greed runs rampant… justice is best served radioactive.

You know, with the destruction of the EPA and the way public concerns are going up again... maybe it is the right time to bring Toxie back to the people.

Poison Ivy has basically become a good guy in Harley Quinn. I think there are a lot of people who are in favor of the earth fighting back against humans right now

Always love this meme:

Doesn’t she straight up kill CEOs harming the Earth on the show?

[–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

She kills a lot of people. But yes.

Didn't know there was a reboot, I thought it was about the 1985 movie, I saw it in theater in 1985, it was good :)

Excellent! I've been hearing about this movie for years at this point. It makes me happy to hear that it's finally going to be released publicly.

The original (and even the other movies in the series) are/were guilty pleasures of mine and hold a special place in my heart. I just watched them all around Thanksgiving. It's hard to believe my parents let me watch this stuff when I was a kid.

Anybody know if they'll be leaning into practical effects or go for more realistic CGI? One of my concerns is that they lean into intentionally crappy and cheap looking digital effects, which is not really my thing.
