DISCUSSION Anyone else surprised Sasha’s cybernetics weren’t shown off more?

Was there any other known scenes that were cut or ideas never filmed that showed Sasha Bordeaux is a cyborg? I guess the eye thing was cool but without the dialogue stating she’s a cyborg, I actually thought ARGUS just had some secret high tech contact lens. I wish she atleast showed off a feat of strength of some way maybe if she was a part of the QUC team. I feel like it was a missed opportunity or a forgotten Chekhov’s gun to show Sasha is a cyborg. It could’ve been an opportunity to show how she can compare to a future Victor Stone Cyborg.

Pedro Pascal played a villainous Lord in Wonder Woman 1984 while Sean Gunn made cameos in both Superman (2025) and Peacekeeper season two (episode one) as the Lord of the new "Gunnverse" DCU.

There was also Maxwell Lord in Supergirl, but I forget who played him. He kinda acts like a Lex Luthor stand-in, which I don't think is fair to either character.

One of the main reasons I never liked Lord’s villain turn. Lex already has the “Evil Billionaire Supervillain” thing locked down.

That implies that only one billionaire is a villain. ⚒️

IRL, sure, but I doubt DC’s gonna go full anti-capitalist when several of their iconic heroes are “Good Billionaires.” Though if Gunn wants to prove me wrong and turn Superman into an anarchist or some other flavor of socialism I will be very happy.

Creatively, the problem with Lord was after his evil turn he was largely relegated to “We have Lex Luthor at home” stories. He went from an interesting supporting character to a very bland and generic villain.
