i don’t think we need meaner critics, basically everything is either the best thing or the worst thing with no space in between. what we need is smarter criticism.
@istandwithluka@PURPL3H00D@adriana_vachita@tikiitavvii Alfred's narration in UTH points this facet of his character out in that Bruce failed to sway Jason away from these reactionary moments towards the end of his time as Robin in Starlin's run
@istandwithluka@PURPL3H00D@adriana_vachita@tikiitavvii Lost Days and Streets Run Red both very clearly paint Jason as being motivated by both emotion and grand gestures (usually directed at someone) that are framed through a flimsy moral framework
@PURPL3H00D@adriana_vachita@istandwithluka@tikiitavvii I do think it's disingenuous to say she just couldn't be bothered when she went into depth with her approach in the same interview. It's clear she wanted to balance the basic facets of the character while also having room to give her own take, which DC is what asked of her.
The way GFM's solicits and interviews for Red Hood got approached with an endless barrage of bad faith readings to paint her unreleased run as "dogshit writing" but Higgins is getting the most optimistic interpretations possible despite having the same amount of information out
I’ve finished the last page of Absolute Martian Manhunter, it broke my heart to say bye to these characters and their world. When 12 comes out, there will be time for greetings, right now I feel a mix of pride and sadness. 19m, 27d, and 260p after this first sketch, here we are!
