@marciehime I feel like the unfortunate truth here is that there are a lot of ’toy aspiring towards art’ games and a vanishingly thin amount of art games. No surprise toy gamers consider themselves art gamers when the only things to eat are toys and toys with themes

@TheManPartII honestly... chichester is unbelievable dogshit but deMatteis is REALLY good and then the kesel and kelly runs are perfectly servicable cape comics

@Skylinex13 gl is tough. the johns run is so long and mediocre and it's the only one anyone gives a shit about. Jones stewarded basically all the GLs for a while after crisis and did most of their best work but he's a pedophile. Everything else is like a 7/10 tops. Morrison is good tho

[my_social_media_account @cyborg_flowers]

@Skylinex13 i do think wein -> englehart pre-crisis is rock solid and probably a better starting point than johns. its brought down by the horrific nonsense englehart pulled with arisa in GLC after crisis but the hal/carol dynamic is great and john gets some really excellent work

@LongArmsPerk Rulk unironically gets really good during the Parker run right after this but it’s in pretty direct communication with the Loeb run and good lord he was just doing some bullshit

@s4pphirephoenix @QuestionStan23 Also making it about DEI is pretty disingenuous when the previous mantle holders for flash and GL were white men wally west and kyle rayner

@s4pphirephoenix @QuestionStan23 this post is obviously about reverence for legacy and an unwillingness to let the world move on. These characters had their stories - Barry had a great conclusion in COIE and while emerald twilight was rushed the final night and spectre stuff closed it off lovingly

@stacey_mc1990 @JCS_H94 This is pretty real for any parent with anxiety. I've had this experience nearly 1:1 with my mom

@spinelessaisha I quite like Metroid NES but it has design sensibilities that can feel very alien (ha) to later titles. If you go into it expecting it to be like the other games you will be harshly disappointed and I think a lot of people who recommend it don’t consider that

Another metroid tier list has hit the tl…

[my_social_media_account @cyborg_flowers]

@Zer0reflect I would drop prime 1 a tier but otherwise I pretty much agree with every placement here. It’s kinda crazy how much better Metroid 1 and 2 are than the remakes most people treat as replacements

[my_social_media_account @cyborg_flowers]

@thefatspaceman ZM is essentially the fast food of the series and as much as I understand why people gravitate towards it over the original I wish people tried to meet NEStroid on its level more. It’s a cool ass game and there’s not much quite like it out there

[my_social_media_account @cyborg_flowers]

@thefatspaceman Also fusion is okay I guess. My problem is it gets rid of the fun part of Metroid (exploration) so you’re left with an okay action game with frankly not good writing. SA-X is neat though

[my_social_media_account @cyborg_flowers]

@thefatspaceman NES has its problems but it’s the most openly hostile Metroid game and the only one that really tries to get you lost and I really respect it for that. ZM loses me because the secrets feel so artificial and it’s so desperate to make things smooth

@Hawkmanfan12 @the_whar N52 Hawkman dares to ask the important questions like ‘what if instead of a cool reincarnation story Hawkman was shitty space venom’ and ‘what if shayera had zero redeeming qualities and was exclusively defined by men’

[Yea @whatlumi]

@Skylinex13 AVERAGE BRITISH INVASION WRITER: SOLD CRACK TO MAKE A LIVING, WOULD CHAIN SMOKE LACED CIGARETTES AND WOULD HAVE MULTI LINGUAL ORGIES WHILE PLANNING ON BOMBING WESTMINISTER

Average Marvel reboot writer: guy named Kyle, mildly racist, gets inspo from Gail Simone, voted Kamala

[my_social_media_account @cyborg_flowers]

@NeonAyanami I think the big thing about the new 52 to me is that even the best stuff tends to be, like, solid but flawed. There’s really nothing I can point to other than maybe dial H and the first volume of bats that I’d call an absolute must read

[my_social_media_account @cyborg_flowers]

@EtainN @hyfenphaye Dial H is the only ‘special’ comic in the n52 to me - the other good stuff is solid enough but none of it is knocking my socks off

[my_social_media_account @cyborg_flowers]

@TheHatalwayswin @bornposting Alan Davis' Excalibur is for my money far and away the best thing the 90s has to offer. You can and should skip all of the fill-ins and everything between Claremont/Davis and Davis/ Also Nicieza's X-Force is pretty fun

@snipersjane (not to say that's what wolfman WANTED to do - but it is what it ended up being)

[my_social_media_account @cyborg_flowers]

@snipersjane nova #1 has some green lanterny elements but its core essence is trying to recreate what made spidey a hit
