Screen Clash DC &Marvel: Separated at Birth?

[were-wolverine]

the JL, about Robin (dick and/or jason): how can you let a child fight crime??

bruce, looking right at Captain Marvel, fully aware he’s actually a ten year old: it’s complicated

billy, knows Batman knows about him: *sweating profusely* y-yeah Batman why would you do that

bruce: *stares into the security camera like he’s on The Office, knowing babs is watching this whole thing happen and likely sending it to his kids*

honestly, i am so deep into magical girl fandoms that i forget their focus on female characters and sapphic ships isn't the norm in every fandom. like i was just watching this video because i needed some background noise while i drew

and i was so blown away by how male centered all the fandoms featured here are. m/m ships are the front and centre while f/f ships and female characters are pushed to the back. even in fandoms with a more platonic/family oriented focus, the relationships between male characters always take precedence over those of female characters. and you can't tell me "well, the female characters in x media just aren't well written" because male characters can be worse written and fandoms will take what little personality they've been given and make so many aus, hcs, fanart, fanfics etc. bbc sherlock fandom gave a male character who never even fucking appeared in the show a whole personality, backstory, characterization etc but never bothered to do the same with the female characters they claim were poorly written.

and honestly, its so sad. because there's so many good female oriented media and f/f ships out there but they just won't get the attention that male oriented media gets because people always need a man in everything. you can use the excuse of the female characters being poorly written all you want but even in media where they ARE well written, they get pushed aside in favour of men.

and god forbid you call this out, especially if you're a lesbian, you'll be accused of being homophobic and hating all mlm. i've seen it happen so many times on twitter. just because someone criticizes how mlm always gets precedence over wlw, doesn't mean they hate mlm. mlm rep is important but it sucks how its always given preference over wlw just because people prefer following men's stories than women's stories.

Anybody else think that the "superhero fatigue" people keep talking about has less to do with people not liking superheroes as a genre, and more to do with many superhero movies made in the past few years being bad faith adaptations?

I'm not tired of comic books or action movies, or the inherent optimism of a world that, despite its many flaws, deserves saving

I'm tired of movies that are mass produced with no respect to the source material, audience, or the people making it!

One of my biggest pet peeves is the justice league being labelled as " The Avengers of DC" and its like. No? The avengers are law enforcement. The Justice League are volunteers

What's so funny to me about X-Men 97 is how conservatives are all up and arms about it calling it woke and whatnot.....

Bestie....THATS LITERALLY THE POINT

The X-Men have always been an allegory for societal injustice.

Mutant rights are something that is a HEAVY subject in the X-Men comics. Anyone with any semblance of a brain would see that the point of this is commentary on injustice.

The "comics aren't political" crowd will never cease to amaze me because it's like they are a toddler who turns their head to avoid eating food they don't like.

Ignoring

The entirety of X-Men

Captain America(created by Jewish immigrants) punching H!tler in the face during a time where we were neutral in world war 2

Superman(who was also created by Jewish immigrants) being the an inversion of the n@zi ideology of a superior man who rules the world

Tony Stark being an Uber capitalist being convinced he's done nothing wrong until his tech is used against him

Jason Todd is a formerly disenfranchised youth that was adopted by a vigilante fighting a one man war on crime because his city is too corrupted by greedy politicians.

And many many many more examples

The 2 lessions I have from this is one

Media literacy is an extinct species

Comics will be and have always been political

I'd like JLA and Avengers to meet someday 🗣

Happy Halloween! Here's AA Tony Stark & Steve Rogers dressed up as Superman & Batman!

Iron Man may be a very heavy cold war icon in his early 60s stories, but by the mid 70s he stops making weapons of war. He learned a lesson and grew as a character. Captain America may be a product of eugenics (what else is the super soldier serum, really?), but Captain America is also someone who would probably admit that eugenics are bad. He probably would understand my objections to his transformation with the super soldier serum. Because he's a good man, even if his backstory sucks.

Batman... how does batman grow? Arkham still exists (so he hasn't fixed gotham's mental health system), he still rules by fear instead of by hope (i am the night is not a heroic thing to say, it sounds more like something dracula would say), he also still keeps making paranoid plans to betray his teammates if they go rogue. He's actually done eugencics by doing things like messing with his jason todd's brain (something i accidentally learned he did in modern comics), etc. Batman doesn't grow as a person, and he's honestly more evil than most of his own villains!
