More on Lanterns and Marvel

See original post here: https://www.tumblr.com/moonlightcycle571/765612915343704064/lantern-corps-and-a-10-year-old-child-in-a-last

I talked about the Lantern list (a ranking of people who to this day refuse lantern offers) and having Billy Batson be number 1, and have Captain Marvel be number 2.

This would naturally attract the attention of Lantern Cores everywhere (like what do you mean they received offers from multiple lanterns multiple times), the space community (why does the Terra City of Fawcette have dominating spots) as well as the JL (Cap, why are you outclassed by a civilian from your own city).

I also fully believe Lois Lane is on the same boat as Billy Batson when it comes to Lantern offers. One does not jump off buildings or sneak into war zones without a great deal of will power and induce a great deal of fear. Lois Lane is definitely in the top 10.

Coincidentally, in the top 50, you will find Cat Grant, Vic Sage and surprisingly Vicki Vale (if she can make BATMAN shudder and be wary of her, she can make anyone fear her).

So it’s been accepted that journalists have a lot of will power, a lot of rage and can put the fear of god into you. Clark is not bitter that he’s not on the list, no sire. Never mind that Jimmy Olsen is in the Top 100.

Batman might want to study this phenomenon.

But anyways. One does not stay at the top without ridiculous numbers. As the only top 10 ers on earth, they have grown used to random rings trying to get them on space politics quests or whatnot.

So now imagine this: Lois Lane and Billy collab on a project. While they are speaking, random rings start to show up. Instinctively, both swat them away like flies while maintaining eye contact. They don’t realise what they are doing. Clark is having an aneurism.

At some point, they both realise that the other is swatting the rings away with the same nonchalance as the other. They immediately understand what’s up. The shit eating grin they both had made a bunch of yellow rings swarm around them.

Billy gets asked on why he doesn’t want to join the Green lanterns? Billy says it’s because he hates cops. Lois nods.

Hal cries himself to sleep that night.

Bonus:

Batman stalking a civilian named Batson who for some reason is number one in the Lanterns List, with an alarming amount of yellows.

Batman finds a black hair, blue eyes, orphan child.

Batman: Alfred call the guy

Bonus 2:

Nightwing, trying to meet his future maybe brother: Hi 👋

Billy, sees an authority figure in Blue that wields batons and electricity: …

Billy immediately kicks Nightwing while yelling ACAB

Billy runs away

I want to make a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy video game. I know, book-to-video-game adaptations are usually shit, but hear me out:

One of the key features of H2G2 was the world building, and the technique used to make it so entertaining was to go off on wild tangents that become largely irrelevant to the story within 3 pages, but still stick out in your mind. I’ll never forget the description of the dragon planet. Was it at all relevant to the story? No. Did Eccentrica Galumbits, the triple breasted whore of Eroticon 6 ever make an appearance? Absolutely not, but she was mentioned in every single book.

The game doesn’t have a central storyline, but rather acts like an anthology. You play as a newly hired editor to the guide, whose sent to explore the galaxy for things to write home about. You go planet hopping, meeting new people and collecting things, exploring new places, take notes, just filling out and completing funny side quests. These grant collectables, stories, and even methods to reach planets or places you haven’t been to yet.

For every few quests you complete on a planet, your character writes something about the place to hitchhiker headquarters, who publishes it for the player to read in the guide.

Game play consists of a whole variety of things, like combats, rhythm and dance, racing, a whole thing.

DID YOU SEE THE TOGEPI? THAT MEANS THAT VOLO IS LIKELY GOING TO MAKE AN APPEARANCE

NOT TO MENTION GIRATINA BEING UPSET AND ON EDGE

Does Volo just find Togepis wherever he goes? Are they his calling card? His little minions?

[wabilution]

Enough with this "haha my bbg is a war criminal" stuff. My bbg was wrongfully labeled and persecuted as a war criminal because he was born a child of war on the side of the oppressed. I hope everyone realizes how racist and corrupt legal systems are, and that to this DAY the oppressors use the oppressed as scapegoats.

(Sorry, I got really pissed over someone bragging about making an oc that committed every war crime defined under the geneva convention.)

(Note: My current project is based on the stories of my older relatives and ancestors, and contains heavy commentary on systematic racism.)

Ramenman Appreciation

Movie Pitch: Rocket Raccoon and Nebula Are NOT Guardians of the Galaxy

Set during the middle of Endgame. Rocket and Nebula are the only two remaining members of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Rocket has fixed the Benatar on Earth. Nebula, who was not able to fix said ship even with the help of Tony Stark and all her android parts, is beginning to see him in a new light. Not just a pet to be kept around by her sister. That he was a real friend worth having.

But he is not her friend. And he is angry with her. He's angry with everyone. Thanos killed everyone Rocket cared about. And that is the one thing he has in common with Nebula, because she only cared about her sister.

While "The Avengers" get back to their lives. Nebula and Rocket have nothing. No purpose. No aim. They could stay on Earth with Natasha and do whatever she wants. But Earth isn't their home and the Avengers aren't their team. (Plus the Earth people keep calling Rocket a "raccoon" and that sounds like something dumb! He's NOT a raccoon!)

Rocket reveals he thinks "Pete's plan" would have worked to stop Thanos if he hadn't gone with Thor. (But then, Nebula points out, the tree would not have been there to forge the weapon that did kill Thanos.)

Rocket feels like Quill and Gamora were the leaders of the Guardians, and they had to tell him and Drax and Mantis what to do. He wasn't the Captain. He was just part of the crew.

Nebula didn't even get that far. She tells Rocket that Gamora invited her to join the team at the end of Vol 2. But she wanted to kill Thanos herself. She was consumed with vengeance for what he had done to her. She thought Gamora would be there to help her stop being an a-hole when she got back.

She would rather have Gamora alive than Thanos dead, something she never thought was possible.

So they decide to give it a try. They be Guardians of the Galaxy. Rocket will try to do what he thinks Quill would do. Nebula will try to do what he thinks Gamora would do.

There are people out there in their galaxy that need saving and that idiot Captain Marvel and her dumb haircut isn't on the strange, outside the powerful Empires plants that they frequent. That's where folks really need saving.

The actual plot would revolve around them initially helping the wrong people in a conflict (sort of similar to the twist that the Skrulls were refugees). Rocket has to trust his instincts about who is "good."

ETA: Possibly something about the Collector. On paper he is "good" because he tried to keep an Infinity Stone from Thanos. But he's also stealing beings and putting them in cages.

Maybe he tells them to retrieve a former being in his collection that was "very dangerous" but it turns out to be Howard the Duck or Cosmo or something.

Nebula learns to be a bit more vulnerable with Rocket and admit her cybernetics have been malfunctioning. She doesn't like asking for help. (Though it shouldn't be the arm that is burned off later or the wifi that causes problem later.) So I guess something with her eye. That could lean into the theme of them literally not seeing that the "goodness" to be "real" Guardians of the Galaxy has always been in them.

Ends with them deciding the Guardians need to buy a place to bring refugees to. Misfits, like them. Knowhere is considered but the Collector has too steep an asking fee. (Oh, I'll get those credits, says Rocket.)

Ever get around to watching a music video and it's so different from the music video you were imagining for the song in your head that it feels so wrong your brain decides to shut down for a minute and restart like when a computer updates

[lackadaisycats]

I hope you know that literally nobody is going to be able to live up to the standard you, V*v, and Glitch have set and your arrogance and exploitation of your fanbase and connections has screwed millions of creatives out of their dreams because Hollywood is a joke that isn't worth telling and wealthy e-celebs like yourself have claimed the indie scene all to yourselves and moved the goalposts into the stratosphere.

Nope. This isn't a zero sum game. There is not some limited, prescribed number of indie trophy slots that a few studios greedily filled up, blocking everyone else out. That is not how it works. Nothing any other creator is doing - short of personally sending hired goons to your doorstep or stealing your credit cards - is taking anything away from you or preventing your success. In fact if an indie creator can manage to demonstrate that they've got something viable going, it may help to map out a pathway for others.

I think I'm not going to bother trying to address whether or not cartoons in return for support from fans - an entirely voluntary exchange - constitutes exploitation. And I'm living in the Midwest driving a 2007 economy car with 200k+ miles on it, but let's just skip past the assumptions that I'm wealthy and connected too.

Instead, let's get to the weirdly myopic notion that the indie scene is held captive by three studios. Maybe YouTube algorithms or Twitter bubbles are somewhat to blame, but in actuality there are so, so many individual people, friend groups, and small production houses out there making independent animation, I cannot possibly name them all.

Here are some anyway:

Far-Fetched Worthikids Satina | Scumhouse Noodle and Bun Punch Punch Forever Ramshackle Noodle Papajoolia | Pipi Angel Hare | The East Patch Jonni Peppers Salad Fingers Monkey Wrench Studio Heartbreak Felix Colgrave JelloApocalypse Odd1sout (started indie, got picked up by Netflix) Allie Mehner JaidenAnimations Lumi and the Great Big Galaxy Cloudrise | The Worlds Divide Telepurte RubberRoss James Lee ENA Godspeed | Olan Rogers Ollie and Scoops Meat Canyon Port by the Sea Kekeflipnote Boxtown Kevin Temmer Weebl Joel Haver CircleToons Long Gone Gulch Atlas and the Stars Animist Skibidi Toilet A Fox in Space Alex Henderson Talon Toniko Pantoja Sr. Pelo Hullabaloo Kane Pixels (started indie, picked up by A24) Homestar Runner Fennah Gods' School Alan Becker Dungeon Flippers JazLyte Psychicpebbles (started indie, Smiling Friends picked up by AS) Piemations vewn Metal Family Dead Sound chluaid Jacknjellify Betsy Lee | No Evil My Pride Cranbersher GeoExe | Gwain Saga Horatio the Vampire Mech West Playground | Rodrigo Sousa The Brave Locomotive Finchwing (+ many other Warrior Cats animators) Quazies SamBakZa Kamikaze: Trial by Fire

By no means a full list. That's just YouTube, and mostly just English language stuff, and I didn't even get to the multitudes of Warrior Cats animation collabs.

The point is, the indie landscape is vast and populated by creators new and old, making all kinds of animated media from skits, to shows, to ARGs, to films. Audience sizes vary as much as the content, stylistic approaches, subject matter, and budgets do. There are no compliance standards, no gateways to entry, no goalposts. There's not even any preset definition of success except what you decide for yourself.

Anyway, instead of nurturing your resentments, consider making something. I assure you, it's a far more rewarding use of your time and energy, and pretty much no one can stop you. ------------- EDIT- Made some additions to the list based on comments. Thanks!

[injuries-in-dust]

There's the urban legend that some japanese companies will hire a "loud American." A person who is just there to voice complaints to the boss when others cant.

I had an idea today that alien ships might hire "The Human!" A person who is just there to just stand there and looks like the be the big, tough, indestructible threat of a being that the galaxy knows humans are.

Doesnt matter who the human is. Big or small, male or female, a tough soldier or more gentle than a newborn. They just have to be present and let the reputation of humans speak for itself.

Is the captain trying to enforce an unpopular regulation on the crew? Ask The Human to have a private meeting and voice the complaints.

Trying to sell some goods but the buyer wants to renegotiate the price to be more unfair to you? Ask The Human to be there at the negotiating table.

That jerk at the bar keeps pestering you with their mating display, because they want to be the one to fertilize your eggs and they wont take "no" for an answer? Ask The Human to escort you back to your quarters.

Not sure if the neighborhood where you're making the delivery is a safe one? Just ask that lovely human if they wouldnt mind putting down their crochet and coming with you. They might be extra thrilled if you mention they could take their pet with them, for a walk.
