Mister Griffin

33 - He/Him - Big into many things, primarily using this to have takes on and/or make dumb jokes about comics, toku, and Doctor Who. Free Palestine

Started playing New Mystery of the Emblem, finished the prologue levels. Fun stuff! Immediately feels like a leap forward in terms of character and storytelling compared to Shadow Dragon, really enjoyed the mini tutorial arc

[Mister Griffin @griffinMister]

And it drives me fucking bonkers that that’s apparently an unreasonable ask

[Mister Griffin @griffinMister]

Should probably clarify that I won’t watch the show and can’t critique it, just bugs me that characters/stories I like are being adapted by a war criminal I justifiably don’t want to support, who also happens to be a nepobaby hack

[Mister Griffin @griffinMister]

I realize this is the least of his sins, but King really is an incurious idiot. Like they can make up whatever for an adaptation, but him saying with authority that certain stories don’t exist when they do because he’s ignorant is moronic. You work for the company that made them!

[Mister Griffin @griffinMister]

I truly do not care if any of these characters are “mischaracterized” or whatever, i would love a cool reinvention, it would just be really fucking cool if they could do that with someone who wasn’t proudly involved in the invasion of Iraq (and y’know a good writer)

I can't believe they're turning the world inside out for tech that just turns everything into Ken Penders art.

@griffinMister Genuinely one of the craziest things I've seen because like it's literally the opposite of the basic text like what was he reading actually

[Mister Griffin @griffinMister]

It’s like that interview where he’s talking about Mr. Miracle and somehow misinterpreted Orion’s role in the Fourth World Saga by saying he was whiny and a spoiled brat. How the fuck was 70s Jack Kirby to subtle for you

I didn’t watch Zeztz after the first episode, but I assume this is how it ended

[Mister Griffin @griffinMister]

DCU writers will ask King about every comic except the ones he wrote

@2Realforthis92 @ThatComicFan3 This is what was said about it (That I could find)

[Mister Griffin @griffinMister]

Titanium Man, Controller, Spymaster, Unicorn, Dreadknight

everybody name 5 iron man villains

@bornposting Funniest bit of Dixon’s Nightwing is Dick going “Blüdhaven is so much worse then Gotham…even the cops are corrupt” you don’t say

[Mister Griffin @griffinMister]

@bornposting The answer is “yes, consistently, but how extreme it is depends on the writer,” because on one end you get Miller’s “the system is horribly corrupt but One Good Cop could fix it” and on the other is Dixon’s “The GCPD is righteous and pure as the driven snow”

Ace Attorney witness named “Mark R. Felttip”

[Carljob 🇵🇸 🇮🇪 @bornposting]

how did he think that shit looked good

[Mister Griffin @griffinMister]

@LongArmsPerk @bornposting Loved that bit in Marvels that references Galactus’s return after Kirby left, and Phil’s like “yeah whatever”

[🕷️Smart Alec🕸️ @_TheSmartAlec1]

@griffinMister It doesn’t work when filtered through the perspective of someone like King who is obsessed with the self-piteous side of reflection but not the actual taking-steps-to-atone side of reflection, and also cause there’s no foundation to make that feel impactful/interesting

[Mister Griffin @griffinMister]

The dichotomy of TK is that so much of his work is about the trauma men face after when they do Unforgivable Things for a greater good

while he’s gleefully bragging about how much he know about torture on con panels

[Mister Griffin @griffinMister]

“Green Lantern as commentary for how the military industrial complex dehumanizes and desensitizes young men into becoming obedient soldiers” is an interesting idea that’s undercut by the writer bragging about taking part in the invasion of Iraq as a young man on a podcast

[🕷️Smart Alec🕸️ @_TheSmartAlec1]

“John Stewart was not only abused as a child to be the perfect soldier by his military father but his abuse was the machination of space aliens shaping him to be a Green Lantern” is the most Tom King ass plot of all time lmao

[Mister Griffin @griffinMister]

Saw El Camino for the first time after my Breaking Bad rewatch, great stuff. Dug that it was slower-paced and more of a classic Western than the show
