So we'll probably have a CGI dog who fights alongside Superman. Cool. I don't think we've ever seen them together on a same film, save for some cameos and easter eggs.

Really hoping Krypto brings some value to the plot, and not there as a typical "aww he's so cute!" factor

Translation: He’s fucking dead, Jim!!


Jokes aside, that’s pretty tragic. As an aside the last name makes me think he may have tried to pull a bullet time stunt out of the window. Especially if drugs and alcohol were involved. Another scary thought is what if there was another person involved, but maybe that’s reaching.

Yeah, "lesiones incompatibles con la vida" is clinical legalese for fucking dead.

(EDIT: My lawyer informs me that a responding ambulance is legally required to describe a body as having "lesions incompatible with life" whenever they don't even attempt to resuscitate. So take that phrase as both a way of indicating that the person was unequivocally dead upon quick inspection as well as a legal safeguard)

I think it's being investigated as suicide at the moment.

Apparently stuff is coming out about him sexually abusing people and stuff with minors that I'd not heard of when he was alive.
I'm not really following the whole thing but what I've heard is that his ex and mother of his child accused him of abuse a few weeks ago. Many are assuming this caused his abnormal mental state.

Audience reaction is good overall. Not shocked in the slightest and what I expected. Meaning my older brother and I are going to love this movie even more. I got my Venom shirt in preparation for this weekend.

Or, the abnormal mental state came first and he eventually got caught.

This, per a recent Business Insider interview with co-director David Leitch, commemorating the first film’s 10th anniversary this past week (and the upcoming release of spin-off film Ballerina, out next June). Leitch says he and his co-creators got a ton of pushback from the money folks over the decision to kill Wick’s puppy Daisy as the inciting incident for their film. Leitch: “We were told, ‘It’s bad luck.’ ‘It’s bad juju.’ ‘It’s Old Yeller, you can’t do this!’ ‘No one will want to see this on screen; you’re going to alienate the audience.” (Leitch also tries to make a point about the hypocrisy of caring so much more about an animal than the 76 people who die in the movie, although we’d argue that that’s a fundamental misunderstanding of the audience’s response to violence toward the innocent and helpless, as opposed to a bunch of gangsters and professional assassins.) Leitch says he had at least one major defender on his and co-director Chad Stahelski’s decision to stick to their pooch-punting guns: Keanu Reeves himself, who “stood up for us” when investors tried to pitch them on an ending where the dog survived.
