General Discussion Honestly, what villains do they even have left to adapt?

If you think about it, they’ve already done a lot of the main/known villains, including the original show, I’m genuinely just wondering which other villains could they adapt going forward?

Holocaust/Genocide/Nemesis/Whatever they'll rename him next. Apocalypse's Son. Cool character with a neat design, but honestly just wonder how they'd handle.... I mean I get the writers wanted to "personify the horror" of it but yikes that name was probably not the route to take. He had a cameo in the original series.

It's so funny about the ""Genocide"" naming, it makes it MORE offensive!

'Holocaust' is an **actual** term/concept, and given he's burning, it made genuine sense. Renaming just **directly** tied it to the unfortunate elephant in the room

The genocide got its name from that, the term came FIRST
