super secret clex account

I made this account so I wouldn't spook the oomfs. Clex and Superman opinions.

@vrkurosawa @ProfofEvil I don't have a horse in that race, to be honest. I just don't read enough Batman to feel comfortable saying anything definitive about him or how he should be. But I dislike it when aspects of Clark's character are changed to suit him and their dynamic.

[super secret clex account @comicsclx]

@Cyberjaeger @ProfofEvil I used to like it too, but over time I've put together that it only really serves Clark's dynamic with Bruce

@chirpi_575 @repipuhoney @LionKudo And they claim it's about "reflecting real life" but that doesn't hold up I fear...

@MoyeeYee I have sort of thought about this as an idea for a fanfic tbh. I don’t think movie Lex ever had a reason to be in Smallville based on what Gunn has said about his backstory but he was a public figure and I wonder if Clark had thoughts on him before their first encounter.

[super secret clex account @comicsclx]

@chirpi_575 @repipuhoney @LionKudo The idea that he’s irredeemable doesn’t really have anything to do with who Lex inherently is as a character, it’s how the fandom likes to position him in relation to other characters. It’s really clear when you see how the fandom talks about the villains, it’s not logical

@Itzel_return @narmbo I think Lex's methods are bad, and he has no healthy way to express that care, but he does care about certain people and it's what you described. You can't reduce it down to him having good intentions the whole time or being an emotionless monster, neither is true.

Absent parent Lex you will always be famous to me...

[super secret clex account @comicsclx]

@Itzel_return @narmbo admitted his shame at how he treated her. I have thoughts on Lena II's storyline and how the portrayal of Lex as a character shifted so much over it. I think that made it incoherent, and I'm dissatisfied with how it ended so abruptly with so little development after his change.

[super secret clex account @comicsclx]

@narmbo Yeah his current relationship with his daughter is the true continuation of his relationship with his sister + nephew in pre-crisis and I'm tired of pretending it's not

[super secret clex account @comicsclx]

@narmbo Lex's complex relationship with parenthood my beloved... and I love you for getting it! mwah

[super secret clex account @comicsclx]

@luthwhores People will complain about fanon and they’ll say what they think is in-character and it will literally just be wrong about the characters… why does this happen so often?

[super secret clex account @comicsclx]

When someone is so concerned about correct characterisation that they mischaracterise in the process… what’s that called?

[super secret clex account @comicsclx]

@iheartclex The funny thing about this discourse to me is that I mostly read ship fics but I actually prefer writing gen…

[super secret clex account @comicsclx]

@narmbo Yet another thing where Maggin was commenting on and superior to the silver age because they LOVED putting Lex in nuclear family situations to show he was "reformed"...

[super secret clex account @comicsclx]

@SDagoth4290 I was speaking in the context of fandom and people trying to police or criticise other fanworks without having full context themselves. But yeah the concept of mischaracterisation kind of falls apart even faster once you’re talking about official versions

[super secret clex account @comicsclx]

@narmbo Yeah it’s completely backwards logic to me

[super secret clex account @comicsclx]

We’re really in a moment where people care more about how healthy and liberatory and “correct” their ships are than about creativity and being in a community in fandom.
