“That’s Superboy Prime, Superboy is actually a separate character -oh, yeah Clark was Superboy when he was young but my favorite Superboy is Kon - No. The gay one is Jon, not Kon that’s a different Superboy- No I am not fucking with you. That’s the gay one, just because he’s wearing a leather jacket doesn’t make Kon the gay one.”
“The strongest character in the Justice League? Oh, easy. It’s Plastic Man- yeah he’s not super popular but just trust me, he could absolutely beat Superman - nonono let me explain, he operates on looney toons logic he absolutely could- yes even Batman- yes even Wonder Woman- yes even-”
“Martian Manhunter doesn’t hunt men. I know it sounds like he does but he doesn’t, trust me.”
“You mean Wally West?- Dude trust me you grew up with Wally West as Flash, not Barry Allen- Yes, there are different Flashes and trust me, Barry was dead for 40 years. You only know about him from the CW show- dude it’s like Percy Jackson Movies level of horrible adaptation, I’m well aware the show is awful.”
Talking about DC to people who only have minimum knowledge is so much fun. Like
"yeah Connor- no, that's Conner with an e, I mean Connor with an o-"
"So the original Teen Titans- no, not Raven, Cyborg, Beast Boy and Starfire- yeah, Speedy, Kid Flash, Aqualad and Wonder Gi- what do you mean you don't know who Wonder Girl is??"
"And then Roy- no, not that Roy- yes technically they're the same guy but they're so far removed they're basically separate characters"
"Green Arrow and Speedy- no, not that Green Arrow, no not that Speedy either- no the first Speedy is older than the second Green Arrow-"
"...yes, there are more heroes in Gotham than just Batman, Robin, and Batgirl."
#every one of these is based on a real conversation#i contemplated just copy and pasting the beginning of the dc wikis backstory for booster gold bc the amount of times I’ve told my friends#about him is numerous and every time unprompted#kon el#j’onn j’onzz#connor hawke#titans#speedy#aqualad#robin#wonder girl#kid flash#roy harper#plastic man#Wally west#dc#barry allen#bones speaks#the cw flash show is one I’ve had with several classmates actually#i mention I like comics & when asked who my favorite heroes are I say flash among them#and I’ll mention I like Wally & Barry separately bc I like them for different reasons#and if it’s a dude 50% of the time I get a response that they liked Barry in the animated series#then I breach the breaking news that that they’ve been Mandela effected. and it results in a 30 minute long conversation of them talking#to me about how bad the cw show was#I KNOW ITS BAD I WATCHED TIL SEASON 3 OF THE SHOW#IM WELL AWARE!!! but it’s smth we both know about superheroes and is a good convo that we can both put our two cents in about#why we didn’t like the show. its fun#and half of the time I’ll get asked ‘Superman or Batman who’d win?’like lmao dude it’s plastic man or shazam next question#the women I got class with will just go ‘oh. cool’ but the boys try to wring random trivia from you#it’s enrichment for my autism
