Once upon a time, I was very sad. Very much hurt by life. And then, almost spookily, Peter Capaldi’s Twelfth Doctor had the exact words I needed to hear.
What a terrific Doctor Who.
-It is still Lake Ontario
-It is still the Gulf of Mexico
-It is still the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
-He is still a pedophile.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
This is exactly how shared universe storytelling should work. Bringing Guy Gardner into Lanterns doesn’t feel like a cheap, look who showed up cameo. He’s actually there to challenge John Stewart and push the story forward. Guy’s loud, obnoxious energy is the perfect foil to John’s grounded, disciplined mindset, creating immediate friction without bogging down the mystery in clunky exposition.
It makes the DCU feel like a real, functioning world where other Lanterns exist on their own terms, proving the writers actually care about character dynamics instead of just checking off fan service boxes.
@julianmiflaco That said… I fully love that Megara from Hercules is like a grown ass woman / older than Herc. So her not being a “Disney Princess” makes so much sense. & fits her personality well.
So like, I do get where some make distinctions with characters
@julianmiflaco Honestly for me its not so much branding but more “vibes”. To me they’re Disney Princesses cause they just hit all those marks. As do many Disney leads, even those who aren’t necessarily royal.
@_teialuna I blinked & suddenly there was so many people :0
For the record, Id apologize for my fellow cishet men. But frankly we’ve been given too many chances & theyve done so much buffonery.
@RickRaptor105@Goji_Saurus Ive liked Rebirth from the get go, so much like with Dominion & Fallen Kingdom before it, Ive always been ahead.
But much like everyone else, the negatives are kind of weighing it down for me. Its AI use really doesnt bode well for the future of these films
@DeathBerry999 Major reason why despite my ship fave being IchiRuki, that Im not against Orihime getting her happy ending. And you know Rukia was supportive AF for her / likely yelled at Ichigo like “damn it, she likes you, just go ask her out you fool!”
