@Yaz_Minsky It also helps that jms actually planned out the myth arc for his show
While as I love x files, it's kinda clear the myth arc was made up on the fly as things went along
So it's a shame Babylon 5 doesn't the attention and respect it deserves
@BrickArmyClone@BasedPota18 yeah....its a product of the 90s cartoon being greenlit when Norman was still dead in the comics, and the recent holder of the goblin mantle was Hobgbolin, and not even og Roddy Kingley, but Jason Macendale. .
that is thing- people point to marriage erasure when it comes to the negative effects of OMD,
but another negetive effect is it closed off doors for storytelling avenues & erased developments of several characters.
like, its odd peter plays a rather minor role in Dark Reign
I haven’t read Dark Reign but the biggest missed opportunity of this era is Norman Osborne not knowing Peter Parker was Spider-Man. Norman ragebaiting Peter knowing he could get away with it and no one would believe him would’ve been a fun back and forth between them in BND era.
And for Damian, there is legit criticism that the idea of batman having a biological child, especially a son, does uncomfortablely undercut the whole found family non blooded related aspect of the bat family
At this point, I'm neutral on Tim vs Damian debate
There is legit criticisms u can make for both Tim & Damian as characters.
For Tim, at this point, he has been seen as a divisive has-been for so long at this point, he will never regain his 90s peak
@75Opposite even tho ms marvel had one of the better CWII tie ins, the foundation was still faulty and arguably did more long term damage to kamala than people think
cuz why do a big estrangement arc between kamala and carol before they even have a established relationship?
@MrJoelGarcia9@n4micanflyx to be fair, moonlighting didn't actually decline cuz the two leads got together.
it decline cuz the two leads are not often in the same room after they hooked up, = along with a bunch of other factors like willis being tied up alot to die hard
Yeah, even before his tenure in dc
Didio was already infamous in transformers fandom for why beast machines turn out the way it did in how it ignored/contradicted alot of stuff from beast wars.
even before Identity Crisis
honeslty end of Young Justice, and titans/young justice graduation day
is real start of 2000s dc, of really grim and mean spirited era
and also start of the didio regime
I’ve finished Young Justice but I’m conflicted. I could tell Peter David and Todd Nauck had way more stories to tell, which sadly were never meant to be due the series being cancelled, to make way for Geoff Johns’ Teen Titans run and the animated Teen Titans show. What a shame.
@ibmmiller It makes Steph easier to visually identify, sure, but it also makes her designs less diverse. In addition, I think pre-Flashpoint Steph wearing different colors as a civilian from her superhero costume is better for concealing her secret identity.
Rewatching The Head, I have to give '90s Mtv some credit.
When Beavis & Butthead was a hit, their response wasn't to greenlight a dozen B&BH clones.
Rather, they greenlit more offbeat animation with different styles, tones, and genres.
Even B&BH's spinoff was nothing like B&BH.
She was never a psychopath in Batman TAS.
The whole appeal of the character was that her insanity was balanced with over-the-top friendliness. She befriended her own kidnapping victims! Fans that ignore the character’s inherent sweetness don’t get the character.
the story reminds me a lot of Fran Bow (game) in many ways, the depiction of trauma as children and then turning their experiences as a children into nightmares of fiction and monsters of fairytales; how the mind creates fantastical worlds out of their own suffering to help cope
Miles Warren himself was a creepy effective cautionary tale, especially with his fixation on Gwen. but jackel himself was never intresting, even in his og 70s clone saga.
and the jackel becomes much worse in the 90s clone saga.
