@GeorgeInglis 2 месяца назад

I like the idea that Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow is the definitive ending for Mxyzptlk since in that story, he references how he was a trickster for two thousand years and now he’s moving on to being pure evil, which to me makes sense only taking place after every other version of Mxy. Maybe the My Adventures with Superman version is one that’s nearing the end of the Mxy timeline as he’s starting to pivot from being a trickster to being evil

@RodrigoGarcia-ze5em 2 месяца назад

Although it's an interesting idea there's a story that contradicts this, DC Comics presents 97 "Superman and the Phantom Zone Criminals: The Final Chapter", it was the last canonical earth one story featuring Mxy ("whatever happened to the man of tomorrow" takes place in earth 423, which is similar to earth one but with differences), in said story Mxy shows his evil side by destroying Bizarro World and Argo City (he even makes fun of the fact that by that time supergirl was dead by saying that he remembers superman used to have relatives in Argo). The story ends with Mxy taking the freed phantom zone criminals as prisioners (absorbing them) and torturing them, before leaving he tells to the earth one superman that this is the last time he will see him, implying Mxy knows the effects of the Crisis will cause the earth one superman to cease to exist. My personal theory is that Mxy is simply bipolar.

@BinaryJoe 2 месяца назад

@danixove2358 2 месяца назад

@PosthumanHeresy 2 месяца назад

My theory is that Whatever Happened is the end of his timeline. He seems to get worse after being punished, doesn’t he? So, his worst self could be at the end of it all. After the My Adventures stuff, he’s already pretty bad. That leads into his genocide of his people. Then, he has supreme access. With supreme access, he goes on a temper tantrum. As an imp, he’s not accessing the multiverse as it is. He can access it from any point. Whatever Happened isn’t a version of a revived Earth-1 from later that the modern Mxy goes into, he’s a Mxy from the modern era that’s able to enter the Pre-Crisis Earth-1. Pre-Crisis Earth-1, being the center of the multiverse at the time, allows him to fundamentally alter the structure of the multiverse from the core. He’s Doomday Clocking this. So, he drives Superman to kill and retire. This becomes a fundamental core part of the multiverse now. He just wasn’t planning to drive Superman to kill *him* like that. Because of that, he never gets to reap the rewards. Problem with his entire plan is that he doesn’t realize it’s all a predestined action. The universes he’s been interacting with for centuries wouldn’t exist if his future, now present, self didn’t do this. They’d be different. He’s a predestination paradox of fate that only works because he’s from the fifth dimension.

@Saiyanking72 2 месяца назад

Annnnd now that’s my official headcanon to make it all make sense

@PosthumanHeresy 2 месяца назад

@@Saiyanking72 Yeah, I've been thinking about the similarities between The Killing Joke and Whatever Happened a lot lately, and there's one thing people forget about TKJ. It was never supposed to be post-Crisis canon. It sold so well that it was made into post-Crisis canon, but Batman has a framed picture of the Silver Age Batwoman and Batgirl. They never existed post-Crisis. Which means The Killing Joke is the final Earth-1 Batman story. Which means that it is a twin of Whatever Happened, the final Earth-1 Superman story. And suddenly the villains of each come into view as each other's mirrors. Mxy explicitly calls Superman out on thinking of him as some mere clown, just some harmless thing, when he is a god by the standards of the third dimensions. A being who wears the face of a clown but is so much worse than that torturing and slaughtering the hero's friends and destroying his legacy to break him? There's no way Moore does that twice for the World's Finest within a couple years without seeing what he's done. But then, consider the difference in scale. And importantly: Mxy finds The Joker interesting. So interesting that later on in publishing timeline, Mxy empowered him. It was supposed to be 1% but instead Joker got 99% and it was a whole thing. But that means that out of every single villain Mxy has watched, one caught his eye more than any other. One is more entertaining than any other. The Joker. Future Mxy didn't just seek to Doomsday Clock Superman into being inherently doomed, he did it with a stolen plan. Because, like The Joker, he's no mere clown. He is a force of nature, a being of chaos and mirth and cruelty and whimsy and _fandom_ like no other. The Joker is Batman's biggest fan, not Bat-Mite. Bat-Mite might love him, but he doesn't understand him. Mxy is Clark's Joker, he just has been in the Silver Age for much, much, much longer. When Mxy breaks, when he finally falls and goes from a mere jester of japes and giggles who does somewhat malicious acts for the lulz to a true malevolent force, what do you expect to be left? Something not dissimilar to the Clown Prince of Crime. Something that doesn't just want to hurt Clark, he wants to ontologically refute Clark's existence. Mxy becomes Toxic Fandom embodied.

@Project_Worm 2 месяца назад

As interesting as this is it kind of falls apart with his stays away for 90 days bit. He can't jump to any universe at any point, otherwise he could come back to the point right after he is forced to leave. He is somehow incapable of entering certain universes at certain points in time.

@jackalenterprisesofohio 2 месяца назад

@@Project_Worm maybe 5th dimension time works differently depending on which 3rd dimension one is interacting with. For example we all know how dog and cat years are shorter than to our human years, despite we are all on the same 365 day cycling, and take snakes and turtle, I would presume their years are longer than us humans, since they can live centuries longer. So it could be theorized that the reason he doesn't immediately reenter after a certain 90 day whatever, might have to do with that, and also he might also get bored and just decided to go to another dimension completely forgeting about the previous (more or less) because of this, for example if you had two vinyl records playing in different parts of the house one taking an hour and another taking a minute, you're going to forget to check the hour one because you're busy checking the minutes one and making sure it keeps playing, so you only remember the hour long one, once and a while.

@Project_Worm 2 месяца назад

@@jackalenterprisesofohio I guess I can understand that. But the thing is, if he is the same being across all appearances (which seems to be the case), then he does often go back to the same universe to try again. So if he can go back at any point, then it doesn't matter if he's forgotten about messing with Superman A) for a hundred relative years, once he remembers "oh yeah, let's go mess with him again", if he could go back to any point, why does he always choose at least 90 days after his last appearance? He seems to at least on some level make the decision to stay away from the last time he was around.

@henke37 2 месяца назад

The name issue has a simple solution: it's a translation thing. After all, it has been established that all 5th dimension beings have names that can't be represented in our world, so we get an automatic translation into something we can work with. This is the same deal as with transliteration of foreign alphabets, sometimes there are different competing systems. On that note, who is in charge of doing this translation? Is it the same being each time?

Having grown up with Gilbert Gottfried, I'd have to pick him since his voice is just that iconic. It's a shame we couldn't see him play him in live action.

@Modtro64 Месяц назад

Honestly Gilbert Gottfried is like THE voice for Mr. Mxyzptlk. The character himself perfectly captures the whole "wise-guy who knows all and sees all and like to mess around in the narrative and can yoink himself from it anytime he wishes, or some joe-shmoe gets him to say his name backwards." type guy. It's like how Joker is usually seen with Mark Hamil's voice, or Kevin Conroy's Batman. Their performances really defined the characters for us and nostalgia or not. Their voices just "sound" right.

@ShiroMatrix 2 месяца назад

DCAU’s been so influential on how I read DC comics that Gilbert Gottfried is the voice I imagine when I read his lines, particularly in Emperor Joker, so I would say he’s definitely my favorite of all the actors and personifies Mxyzptlk the best. Plus it was great how he broke down the pronunciation of it in his premiere STAS ep and is the pronunciation I stick by.

One conclusion I make for this character is can there actually be anything that makes it not true? Even if mxy came out himself and said nope I was just kidding it’s not the same me in every appearance, then we could just say he was lying and keep the theory going. If there’s any inconsistencies we can just say oh that’s just mxy being mxy. He is literally immune to continuity errors of any kind. And I kinda love that

I had assumed that when Mxy prepared to enter the My Adventures universe, he looked at different anime and manga to figure out what would be the oddest look for him to use, went with Dragon Ball, then rolled with it. Because outside of a few things he's been in, he has always looked odd or crazy. So him looking the way he did in My Adventures just fits.

To explain away how Mxy can be super evil like in MAWS and then apologetic in the Arrowverse, maybe they're him at different points in time. In MAWS, for example, Mxy's appearance in that show could be when he's still in his prime of being a chaotic god of the multiverse, despite the show itself coming out way after Supergirl finished.

At the end, Superman says he'll go back on his own and whispers something, dissappearing. Back in HIS world. He muses that Myxy never realized that his name ISN'T "Superman," but "Kal-El," so he had to say "Lelak!"
