Onomatopoeia Powers and Fight Scenes - Superman & Lois

[@hydra0012]

This Onomatopoeia definitely works as a Superman villain. Having someone with super hearing go up against someone who can weaponize sound itself makes so much sense.

[@ellugerdelacruz2555]

Superman kinda already has a villain like that tho. Does "Silver Banshee" ring any bells?

[@sylviamontaez3889]

it'll be interesting to how the batnan: caped crusader version looks like. also the mask design reminds me of spellbinder from batman beyond

[@hydra0012]

@@ellugerdelacruz2555 To be perfectly honest, I completely forgot her. Even if I did, I still prefer Superman & Lois' take on Onomatopoeia since she can manipulate all forms of sound while Silver Banshee largely only has the sonic scream and a magical advantage over Superman.

[@arandomcomment7208]

​@@ellugerdelacruz2555there powers are different enough that they both work

[@tamop]

Yeah, I like how this Superman stands still and takes sonic hits. Dude can't have more than one thought in his little superbrain so he keeps processing "what do I hear???"

[@1buddahead]

One of the things I realized about her mask is that it is referencing a science demonstration for sound waves. It's an experiment where a black board is placed over a speaker. Salt is spread on the board and when different sound frequencies are played through the speaker, the salt changes into different patterns corresponding to the sound waves. It's a very cool way to visualize sound waves and adds an amazing little detail to the character design.

[@joelbrich2538]

It was even cooler when i thought it was her actual face. That made her HAUNTING

[@juangalton999]

The patterns you're talking about are referred to as Cymatics.

[@ThouArtEverywhereAndNowhere]

So dope

[@randallflagg3700]

Well yeah, that's what Kevin Smith and Phil Hester had in mind when they created Onomatopoeia 22 years ago. Well, he didn't explain it in some many words, but it seemed to be the gist of it. #ReleaseBatmanBellicosity As a Kevin Smith enjoyer, I'm used to waiting, and *Berserk* has been my favorite manga for over 17 years now. And I'm still waiting for GRRM's Winds of Winter. *Batman: Bellicosity* would blow my mind if they actually started to show panels and concept arts, and give a real (this time) estimation of when it could come out. Hopefully Ono showing up in "Batman: Caped Crusader" and "Superman & Lois" season 3, this will give Kevin Smith the inspiration needed to finish the noize saga in his corner of the DC universe. The DC short "Onomatopoeiabots" from 2014 was made by the Smith/Hester duo a decade ago, and this year in the issue #8 of Green Arrow (the run that started in 2023) looked liked he had a blast drawing Ono. I'll keep a light on for *Bellicosity* ...

[@gabek1303]

Man, her sonic powers look way cooler with the mask on than without it. Looks way more intimidating and makes it look way more powerful.

[@nerdandnerdier887]

It’s not just the mask it’s the body motion at first the sound came out but later she would actively mover her body into the scream or would tense up which implies it’s more effort on her end vs when she first showed up just standing their implies power by having her effortlessly scream

[@Mr_Jester980]

​​@@nerdandnerdier887 The reason why that's the case is probably because of her cancer. As the cancer progresses, so does the change in the way she uses her power.

“But we’re not making a new character. Onomatopoeia has to do with sounds, right? Eh good enough.

[@ciarasweeney]

In Worm, there's a similar character called Screamer. Her whole schtick was partly this direct action stuff, partly counterintel type stuff, and partly just making people think they're having a different conversation to drive them to kill each other. Main thing is she didn't need to be in the room or use her mouth to make the sounds. If you're in range, you're at risk, and the range is half a city.

[@Number9Robotic]

Onomatopoeia in the comics' gimmick of saying the sound effects of his weapons was cool, but it's straightup impossible to pull off in live-action (or any medium aside from comics with speech bubbles) because a dude saying "woosh", "shing", and "blam" is substantially lamer when said out of a human's voice in live-action than it does in comic books. I think this is an excellent and creative interpretation of "supervillain who imitates sounds", it's a creative adaptational choice.

[@UmamiWave]

You know even in the comics he's not really saying "woosh" or "shing" or "blam" right?

[@fatnutfernando2553]

Also just like others pointed out, i dig her mask being her face even more. Showing that she's different, like mysterious beings rather than basically another banshee. Making her more ominous.

Weird sound waves are equally as interesting, especially if they based them on actual sound waves that could potentially achieve what she does in each scenario if they were strong enough.

Sonic scream most of the time? Do you not near hear how she sounds during her screams??

[@Stad122]

​@ravenlich1299 What he means is, look at the first scene compared to the rest. The guy dies to bullets that don't exist. But after that and the followup confusion of Superman, she doesn't use the power in any interesting ways, just a constant reverb that, for all intents and purposes, is just a sonic scream. As an example, those sounds in the second part of the first clip. Imagine if they did a similar thing, causing people to be killed in explosions without an explosion happening. Basically making it reality manipulation by way of sound rather than just sonic reverberation.

[@maxximus6418]

Imagine if she mimicked the sound of fire, and then used vibrations to speed up and heat up someone’s particles and set them on fire or something along those lines? She could’ve even used vibrations to crush someone, and maybe she’d make the sound of crumpled paper or something to convey the effect and make it interesting.

Even Kevin Smith said there was probably no good way to make Onomatopoeia work outside of the comics page, since the character saying "blam" and "boom" and stuff wouldn't work, but they managed to make it not only work but be even slightly more impressive than the comics - a character who can actually manipulate sound is just a great idea to put against Kryptonians.

this is way different and better than the comic version of onomatopoeia being able to actually control sound instead of being some middle aged guy with a family who's just hunting non-metahuman vigilantes, no powers, just making noises.

They made an evil Black Canary? She's like a super Karen "I WANT TO SEE THE MANAGER!"

[@_ArmIa]

Holy crap, they did the impossible. They actually made this character work in live-action.

[@TheMineCraftIris17]

Really disappointing how she very quickly devolves into just screaming at people, the gunshots at the beginning were a super cool interpretation; and that as soon as the mask comes off it's forgotten about, just obliterates any menace she had and just makes her looks ridiculous.

[@NecromancyLabz]

This is the closest we may ever get to Shriek from Batman Beyond in live action!

[@LordDeathslayer]

They made a cool character into another superpowered slop, this is literally just black canary.

[@dedmnwlkn5796]

As neat as this was they shouldve stuck with the character replicating sounds to make effects like the gunshots. Sonic screams was kind of lame.

[@manuelito1233]

I personally saw it as that, she's manipulating sound to do things like that. I think as more of her was shown, it just defaulted to screams

[@starsilverinfinity]

@@manuelito1233 It it honestly sounds like she got screwed a touch by her own run time - they started out with cool stuff like bullets and e plosions but as time passed it just became a scream, with specific sfx being saved for a few choice moments (That chainsaw one was nuts)

[@Vor567tez]

Hollywood is not creative with their powers. I think only Ant Man had me think that's creative! But that too got lost in Quantumania. It's feels like all just end up in energy blast. Compared to that Anime have better application of powers. The Coffin In Sky in MHA is pretty genius use of powers.

[@starsilverinfinity]

@@Vor567tez I think its due to budget concerns - like its easier to spam the same sound/visual than try and be unique each and every time. Environmental interactions, unique sounds or visuals, all take more money - which can be rough on a show who's gimmick relies on sfx budget Think about how early or low budget shows would just recycle the same "uses ability in a area without a background" or like how Star Trek literally basically had static props that they cut between and stuff

[@maxhunter3574]

Lol, her mask is just a giant old school sub woofer speaker 😂
