Anyways Rani adores doctor who and loves that she has the same name as one of the characters, and whenever the Carter’s watch it as a family they point to the doctor and say “wow you stole his whole schtict. You can admit it” to rip

Josh Trujillo is a huge fan of the 2006 run and has made a million references to it, so I'm not convinced this is forgetfulness? He's only made a handful of references to anything after 2011 (Paco "kinda died," Jaime obliquely referencing the Secret Six) so I'm thinking his personal canon is pretty much solely postcrisis.

Reach tech is definitely heavy on dimension-shifting but Jaime and Khaji don't actually use intangibility or invisibility in all of postcrisis continuity (they might've in New 52 or Rebirth but I only read those once, don't remember). I did also think about using the Bleed to be in multiple places at once, but considering how climactic it was in the 2006 run I wonder if Trujillo was planning to save it for a bigger plot later, anticipating more issues.

I did clock that Jaime should've been able to understand Reach, though! I wonder if maybe he doesn't anymore because they destroyed the database/charging station in the Booster Gold backup stories?

That's the continuity inconsistency that's most interesting to me at this point, actually--when Jaime and Traci go to the pyramid they both act like they've never been there before. Jaime even says it looks like a bomb went off--a bomb did go off! Peacemaker nuked him!

I bet you the writers of the newest Blue Beetle runs forgot that Jaime/Khaji Da can be intangible and invisible and do time bullshit that can let them be in multiple places at the same(ish) time just like they forgot that Jaime is fluent in the Reach language therefore he'd still be able to understand Khaji Da if it reverted back to its first language (ignoring the mind link that would also mean that Jaime would still be able to understand Khaji Da).

Show it to me again. The death. And the rescue. The truth. The lie. One of them is real. And we both know which, don't we? I shouldn't be here. I shouldn't be alive.

plz. who is peter platinum and what did he do

thank you anon because I'm obsessed with him!! Okay so his first and only appearance is in Booster Gold issue one million as a "hero" of the 31st century and like his bit is that he stole Booster's bit, but he does it better (get it because platinum is better than gold). But here's the thing he's actually good at the bit, he's genuinely a con man only out for fam and fortune and pretending to be a hero to do it, peter platinum is what everyone in the 20th-21st century thinks Booster is, but platinum has sold everyone on the lie he actually has the fame and fortune WILD AND CRAZY

I think my favorite thing about him is that apparently he stole directly from Rip and that they have fought before like pov: some dude who's copying your dad's cringefail era has unimaginable beef with you and you—a time traveler—don't have time for it

the few glimpses we got to see of the future in which rip hunter was raised are so fucking fascinating. booster gold is constantly on the run from various, unspecified timetravellers but he takes his son to see the dinosaurs and plays catch with him near the same lake that he’s washing their clothes in. he delivers flowers to ted kord’s grave well into the heat death of the universe. he’s highly respected by the legion of superheroes but everyone in the modern timeline is still under the impression that he’s an unimportant, sleazy gloryhound. also he has a leather jacket.

I think of a dozen different things to say. Ted would be funny. Even now, he'd be funny. I try because I want Ted to smile as I crash Max's chess game. I want to hear him laugh. I missed that laugh. Everyone knows it.

I think hard, but all I can manage to say -- is his name.
