Everyone clap for non consensual body modification everybody loves a character whose body has been altered against their will

i had a 4 hour drive today so i put on the revenge of the sith audiobook and the part where palpatine tells anakin to kill dooku came on right around the time that i saw a cybertruck and for a brief and beautiful moment when he said "do it" i had the urge to ram my honda full on into that shitty ass car

Warner Bros. should make the next Batman movie really silly and campy like the old Adam West one. He’s gotten too popular and needs to be taken down a peg or three. The public should be reminded that Batman is a character that is capable of multitudes and that includes being lame as fuck.

i don't know why people assume comic blonde girls are milquetoast and cutesy by default because every comic blonde i've seen so far are dangerously intelligent and batshit crazy and can kill you in an instant

comic books are good to get into if you really like to complain about everything all of the time

Do you believe Dinah being paired with the Arrowfam is damaging for her character? And how would you fix that? I think we all know those two twitter accs who absolutely hate the idea of Dinah with the Arrowfam mostly bcs of Ollie but what's your opinion on the subject?

i know u don’t mean it as one but this does feel like a trap…hmm

i think it’s stupid discourse that people have just bc they want to have some kind of argument to hold onto. yeah i wonder why people associate dinah with the family she’s been connected to for over 50 years.

dinah being paired with ollie or the arrowfam as a whole isn’t inherently damaging to her character, and acting like separating them would fix dc’s sexism problem is stupid. i’ll always consider her arrowfam in the same way i consider hal arrowfam, just because they’re their own heroes doesn’t exclude them from the people they connect with. i also consider dinah’s family to be the JSA obviously…people can be connected with more than one group

frankly the problem of dinah barely feeling like a character stems entirely from writers not wanting to write women with flaws or depth anymore. they’re either girlbosses or background characters. (this is then a further problem with the comic industry not exactly being stable, and not wanting to take risks like they used to, especially with social media instantly connecting everyone with everyone else’s criticisms)

comic fandom as a whole has a problem with excluding characterisation for meta textual reasons (ooc writing, editorial interference) and then condemning other characters for the same reason (to quote tom scott, “Everyone draws the line of what's acceptable at just beneath what they are doing themselves”) it’s what happens when you have over 70 years of canon to draw from.

i also refuse to believe that people have ever read any of the black canary solo minis and enjoyed them.

i’d love for dinah to be back in a JSA book, or in a JLA book alone, but dinah’s relationship with the arrowfam isn’t the problem lmao, it’s a scapegoat

tldr: discourse stupid lol

I was trying to figure out what this panel reminded me of and then it came to me:

[haveyouthoughtaboutcomicstoday]

Big fan of characters realizing they don't get to die. They have to live. And grow. And be a person. And deal with shit they thought they'd never have to. And be fucked up about it. I would like more of this. Enough dying for honor or as redemption. It ain't. You're just a corpse. There is no moral value in dirt time.

[haveyouthoughtaboutcomicstoday]

actually being into dc is so embarrassing bc i go well actually this character is a lot more nuanced than people realize because he has a lot of repressed trauma and a guilt complex that drives him to do good at the expense of himself and everyone around him. and im just talking about a guy that every 8 year old dresses as for halloween

When all my Ollie posts flop but I’m still getting notes on a bruce thing I made like 3 months ago
