@shallowbrigade I especially liked all the dudes who would argue Moore wasn’t really an “original” creator because they thought all he did in comics was stuff like Watchmen and League that riffed on or utilized existing works, as if Moore didn’t also have original creations
@shallowbrigade It was really weird how many people in comics, even ones who presented themselves as “pro-creators’ rights,” gleefully celebrated all of that seemingly just because Moore had sworn off the Big Two
Knowing this timeline, they will probably just announce that they put Trump’s brain in JD Vance’s body and that’s what JD Vance’s statement about being ready to be president was actually about
@TheGayChingy The loving exasperation is what really does it for me, like such a huge amount of care mixed with utter annoyance and frustration at raising two distinctly different fail sons. It’s a very special and relatable kind of maternal
@kennykeil I love how weird that run is, and it has a lot of borderline body horror stuff going on with the supporting cast and villains in general, like Chunk the man with a black hole in his stomach that he constantly has to feed matter to
@shallowbrigade The movie is definitely more mature imo, the book is centered on Danny more and offers (slight) redemption for his dad instead of making him a full on psychopath
@shallowbrigade Of the classic ones I’d probably go with The Shining. That said, my first two King books were It and The Stand and I was around that same age lol
@shallowbrigade If you’re open to it not being classic era King, I’d recommend The Institute. It’s kind of a spiritual successor to Firestarter without that book’s more dated elements but it still has a lot of classic King elements and the writing is punchy with a solid narrative
