[@UnfamiliarIntimacy]

Agent Smith It's not about you pointing it out, it's how you worded your OP that implied that you were making fun of Deadshot's decision to obtain a lost limb. One could easily read it and think that you're saying "Deathstroke is better than Deadshot because he decided to not get a new eye." Again, you didn't say it bluntly but that's what it seems like you were trying to imply.

my personal favorite backstory for him is that he was friend's with gordon freeman until the resonance cascade, where he then stole gordon's hev suit for his own needs and after he found out gordon was hunting him for the hev suit, he made it into a combat suit and in 1 fight with gordon, they were down to just knife to crowbar, and gordon is able to overpower deathstroke and hit him in the eye with his crowbar, making him lose it

Shazam is just the word to transform billy or any that has the power Shazam & Billy’s superhero name is captain marvel then marvel took it. It was a Guy then they had Ms marvel not the new one that can stretch & is a bit coloured the old one that is cara Danvers & she took the name captain marvel because the guy captain marvel died & there where close & her real name is literally a copy of Supergirl her real name is Kara Danvers & Shazam is the real captain marvel so there another copy & I don’t know how people can like that movie it was so bad because they where rushing it for EndGame it was a disaster & S.H.I.E.L.D wasn’t called S.H.I.E.L.D if u watch iron man the first movie Agent coltan say he for Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division & pepper say wow that a mouth full he says yeah where still working on it that was in 2008 & then in iron man 2 at the end where Fury talks to stark he says he works for S.H.I.E.L.D that was the first time in the MCU that it was Called S.H.I.E.L.D this was 2010 so how was it called S.H.I.L.D in the 90s & why dose Caras plane have her name on it & among other writing on it when she’s a test pilot test pilots don’t get there own aircrafts they only test them & there are other mistakes like fury says that the first time S.H.I.E.L.D uncounted alien was when Thor came to earth so the scrolls shouldn’t have been in captain marvel there are so many mistakes just dumbass people like u don’t know anything

Batman knocks him unconscious as easily as if he were swatting a fly, one punch, and the fight's over. I also liked that in the final fight scene between Damien & Deathstroke the 10y/o wasn't able to outfight him and instead had to outsmart him to win. That, at least, was within the realm of possibility, outfighting him, not so much.
