@annightspirit Also, cause of Tim’s dedication to the bit I like to write him as being the Robin to dye their hair to match the previous one (rather than Jason dyeing to match Dick). Tim’s also smart enough to let it fade and have civies think “Remember when Robin dyed his hair red? Weird era.”
@annightspirit I was saving it to comment later but I’ll do it here cause there’s less people.
I don’t even like that JOKER knows he succeeded. He should fully think he failed till Red Hood shows up.
I dislike The Batman specifically because it starts him off as this and changes him at the end rather than just having him be a deeper character from the start.
I get that people like that he learns to be different, but to get there it takes 170 mins of the same old same old.
when another tired, mean cunt of a militarized bastard & overly violent, barely a detective but 'gritty' batman hits the big screens and i have to fight off the misconception that bruce wayne is the mask for another 20 years
@sugaryscorpion Doesn’t “there’s nothing wrong with him” more so mean he’s not evil just socially inept? Like the things he does and says obviously hurt or at the very least make the people around him uncomfortable. But he just needs to be reeducated, like most of the “enemies” tbh.
The reason we never get middle-career Batman is cause that means Robin and too many people working on Batman right now hate robin. Sign of immaturity if you ask me.
On the real, why is it always women or otherwise marginalized characters that are portrayed as “morally impure” in comparison to the big white male heroes? Like at this point they’ve taken no-kill from fucking everyone EXCEPT the most popular white men. It’s weird tbh.
//supergirl spoilers//
kara killing that woman-trafficking nonce with no hesitance instead of pulling the usual “if i kill the villain, i’m no better than them” or “i’ll let u go, but i will kill u next time” trope was the most satisfying ending ever
@Babsfavorite I consider James Gunn one of the best superhero filmmakers of the current era, but this is definitely his major flaw. It’s like a monkey’s paw. Get more colorful and creative superhero films unafraid to adapt the niche corners of the universe, BUT, no element is taken seriously.
Y’know, I doubt gamers will come together on this. We only seem to come together for bullshit, and way too few actually hold frame against big releases. But a loud and vocal boycott of GTA VI specifically could genuinely start healing this fuckass industry.
This isn’t even a criticism but I think all these spinoffs would go a lot harder if they were “Adventure Time With (insert characters)” instead of “Adventure Time: (insert characters)”
@BurgerDum I mean, this seems straightforwardly reductive. There’s no reason to downplay the abuse from Jax’s parents. Or his struggle with homelessness. And if we’re gonna include the other 2’s fantastical trauma then it doesn’t make sense to leave being trapped in the circus out.
@BurgerDum He kinda did. And Jax had abusive parents too. And then was homeless for years.
You can not sympathize if you want, but the message of both series being discussed is that harm is never as simple as “some people are bad.”
There are a few people being dumb about this, but all-in-all there are a lot more people confused anyone could interpret it differently in the first place.
I think this is pretty securely the majority fandom opinion, thus the detractors are just an unfortunately loud minority.
i've said this before, but it reminded me of laura palmer; csa victims displace their abuser & their abuses w/ an evil entity to cope with the trauma of csa; a form of dissociation. it's similar to laura, who believed bob had been abusing her, when it's actually her father
Am I wrong or is this not the intent? I mean not a full on comedy, but I thought the point was that Connor’s initial anxiety and depression was easy to sympathize with but he made all the wrong decisions and ultimately deserved his ostracization at the end?
one of my most embarrassing memories is seeing Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway with my family i thinking it was supposed to be like, a Larry David style cringe comedy about a terrible person. i kept wondering why nobody else was laughing
@slimengrimen I mean, the real answer is either don’t cause we all need to be nicer to each other anyways, or just do it in group chats with friends and not on social media where the person could see it/everyone feels inclined to weigh in on it.
It’s like we all forgot this is town square.
People take vibes too seriously. People’s vibes cannot be trusted. People forget all the times their vibes are wrong and treat vibes as some high power that reveals to them absolute truths. People don’t comprehend just how much all the people they hate are operating off of vibes.
