dc - What and with what was Luthor doing in the ship at the end of the movie?


After Doomsday was defeated, a spec-ops team sent to the Kryptionian ship in Metropolis found Luthor submerged in water, in front of a... thing, which "held" three metal cubes. The thing looked up, roars, and dissipates into thin air.


???



What the hell was that all about? I am really confused. What was that creature and what was Luthor doing with it?



Answer



We really don't know.


It's likely that demonic looking creature is some servant of Darkseid, but we don't know for sure.


It could be Yuga Khan (Darkseid's father), or Steppenwolf (a genral in Darkseid's army). Both wear long horned helmets, but neither really look like the creature we see in that scene. But whatever tech is being used seems to be only displaying an approximation of whoever Lex is talking to, so they probably look very different at the other end of that communication.


Those boxes are very likely Mother boxes, like the one we see in the Cyborg scene earlier in the movie. They are crazy advanced New Gods tech used for all sort of things. But, if that creature is a servant of Darkseid, those boxes could be Father boxes, which are Darkseid's version of the Mother box.


Why Lex is attempting to communicate with the creature is a mystery. He could be promising earth to Darkseid in exchange for power of protection? We don't know yet.




Ankit Sharma's answer over on the Movie Exchange is (some might say) superior to mine :)


Worth a look:



Who was the horned creature luthor was seen with in Batman V Superman: Ultimate Edition?

story identification - Animation: floating island, flying pests

At least 20 years ago I watched a short animated film which stuck in my mind. The whole thing was wordless, possibly European, and I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it... It featured a flying island which was inhabited by some creatures who (in my memory) reminded me of the Moomins. The island was frequently bothered by large winged animals who swooped around, although I don't think they did any actual damage. At the end one of the moomin creatures suddenly gets a weird feeling, feels forced to climb to the top of the island and then plunges down a shaft right through the centre - only to emerge at the bottom as one of the flyers. Answer Skywhales from 1983. The story begins with a man warning the tribe of approaching skywhales. The drummers then warn everybody of the hunt as everyone get prepared to set "sail". Except one man is found in his home sleeping as the noise wake him up. He then gets ready and is about to take his weapon as he hesitates then decides ...

harry potter - Did Dolores Umbridge Have Any Association with Voldemort (or Death Eaters) before His Return?

I noticed that Dolores Umbridge was born during the first Wizarding War, so it's very likely she wasn't a Death Eater then (but she is pretty evil -- who knows?). After that Voldemort was not around in a way that could affect many people, and most wouldn't know he was planning to rise again. During that time, and up through Voldemort's return (in Goblet of Fire ), did Umbridge have any connection with the Death Eaters or with Voldemort? Was she doing what she did on her own, or was it because of an association with Voldemort or his allies? Answer Dolores Umbridge was definitely not a good person. However, as Sirius points out, "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters". Remember that he also says that he doesn't believe Umbridge to be a Death Eater, but that she's evil enough (or something like that). I think there are two strong reasons to believe that: Umbridge was proud to do everything according to the law, except when she trie...

aliens - Interstellar Zoo story

I vaguely remember this story from my childhood: it was about an interstellar zoo that came to Earth with lots of bizarre and unusual species, and humans would file through and gape at all the crazy looking creatures from other planets. The twist came at the end when the perspective shifted to the other side of the bars and we discovered that the "creatures" were traveling through space on a kind of safari. They thought they were the visitors and we were the animals. Neither side knew that the other side thought they were the zoo creatures. Answer Got it. Zoo, by Edward D. Hoch. Published in 1958.
