Robby Bevard

I work in comics!

Mostly as a colorist, but also as writer, editor, and everything else.

I've been a pro in the industry since 1999, and worked everywhere.

@GreenQwueen It's Guy Gardner. It could go either way.

[Robby Bevard @RobbyBevard]

@ErikAanrud @DannyBurino @JILexander That's exactly what Guy Gardner's hair is supposed to be? That's what it is in the comics. It's perfect.

[Robby Bevard @RobbyBevard]

@DannyBurino @JILexander Him, Terrific, and Hawkgirl all have the same outfit. They're working for somebody else, it's a uniform.

Likely by the end of the movie Superman has inspired them to do their own thing and they switch to more unique suits.

(Also the GL suits have had a bajillion designs)

[Robby Bevard @RobbyBevard]

@kayivar Superman has tactile telekinesis. It's what allows him to fly, grab large objects, catch people, etc. and why his outfit is also bulletproof. (But sometimes his cape gets shredded).

It's been the explanation in the comics since the 80's.

@DimensionsInJen @Lost_Gallifrey The dumbest thing is the 50th anniversary finally resolved that plot arc and then the next showrunner just blew everything up again.

For no reason at all.

@jaro_roth @riotwomennn @travisakers He rode Obama's economy for three years.

By the time his disastrous policy changes started actually affecting things, the pandemic happened and took all the blame.

@PhillipHum31585 @RobertGarcia They were sending products that WE then *sell* at markup.

1 trillion dollars of product from China is 5-10 trillion dollars of sales in the US, by US companies, to US citizens.

Not to mention jobs for dock workers, truckers, warehouses, middleman...

[Robby Bevard @RobbyBevard]

@Exogynous @RobertGarcia Outside of just not having *stuff* to put on shelves nationwide... worker’s jobs are affected, from dock workers to truck drivers and warehouse workers.

This is in fact very bad.

@PickleChip15 @harleydarlings The worst part about Clara is she was a more interesting character the first two times we met her, those versions died, and we got the boring modern one.

Victorian Clara was way better.

And then after the impossible girl stuff was settled they had *no* idea what to do with her.

[Robby Bevard @RobbyBevard]

@TTJ_nyg @lgbtqiadhdoid Because television pre-streaming had strict time limits.
Shows have to be X length, you can't have them be longer or shorter... even anniversary specials, and that 8 extra minutes would mean something else had to go.

For all intents and purposes, it *is* the opening scene.

[Robby Bevard @RobbyBevard]

@lgbtqiadhdoid Yes obviously by the time the 50th *aired* they knew Capaldi was coming in and were able to do that "all thirteen!" insert... but his entire scene with Tom Baker only works if he was still going to do more...

and not just find Gallifrey next episode.

[Robby Bevard @RobbyBevard]

@lgbtqiadhdoid It's very obvious that at the time the script for the 50th was written and filmed, they thought they were going to have Matt Smith for another year. Time for him to hunt for Gallifrey, finish the Silence plot, etc.

And then he decided to leave and *everything* had to be rushed.

[Robby Bevard @RobbyBevard]

@JennyENicholson The instant they showed both Jumbaa and Pleakly wearing holographic realistic human disguises was the surest sign there was absolutely no point in this remake, AND they were being super cheap about it.

[Robby Bevard @RobbyBevard]

@MayaZaWorld "what is it that makes people who claim to hate RPGs make an exception for it?"

They started playing it when they were 5.

And you play it for the monsters, no one plays it for the plot or the roleplaying.

[Robby Bevard @RobbyBevard]

@DiscussingFilm It's because they cheaped out and had them put on holographic human disguises instead of having expensive CG aliens the entire movie.

Completely removing the charm in the process.

[Robby Bevard @RobbyBevard]

@turquoisepogos @CultureCrave It is arguably the best *film*. In terms of scope, cinematography, ambition. And if you already know the characters from the comics it's solid.

Unfortunately it's a mess of a *movie* because the character count and time scale demanded a season and not 2.5 hours.

[Robby Bevard @RobbyBevard]

@OrComico @bartonovopolis Luke had all his achievements were undone, his aspirations were broken, and, even if just for a moment, slipped from his higher ideals.

His force visions about Kylo killing billions were *correct* and he would have been *right* to stop him, but... that all messed with him.

[Robby Bevard @RobbyBevard]

@OrComico @bartonovopolis Context for Luke
- he raised the next generation of Jedi only for them to all die
-He saw one of his students was turning evil and almost murdered him pre-emptively
-The Empire 2.0 came along despite his efforts

Everything in his life amounted to nothing, and lots of suffering.

[Robby Bevard @RobbyBevard]

@bartonovopolis Some people didn't understand the Rashomon aspect of Luke's story and took the evil first telling at face value.

And Finn's storyline kind of meandered.

Other than that, good character work, great visuals and it took chances. Wrecked by the next movie backpeddling *everything*.

[Robby Bevard @RobbyBevard]

@gimmeurcrisps @TigerLillieRead The episodes were finished. They could have looked at the overall quality and adjust the airing order, there weren't any continuity issues that prevented it.

But someone in charge looked at those first three episodes and went "no, this is fine."
