modern comics industry maybe be struggling but honestly i think ur average local comic store is gonna be fine in comparison, like plenty of them have a huge focus on resells of older stuff and like. maybe one shelf to the side w new releases lol

#ramble tag #if DC goes bankrupt or whatever i wouldnt even blink at it #honestly i think the reason why theyre trying to do this MCUesque movie universe thing is bc like #what else? and it worked for marvel #but marvel movies have established such broad appeal to normies and fanboys alike w/o needing to be good #and i don't know if DC can pull that off. maybe #probably well enough to survive i suppose #also name one good think about the wonder woman movie other than ''sexy lead actors'' or ''ww threw a tank''#also: name one good thing about the recent batman that isnt ''emo batman''#not me trying to be snippy just like. i think it's weird when people say a movie's good and only give reasons like that #so its a genuine question! what is the appeal! if it's just the sex factor that's ok but say it w ur chest!#oh and the blue beetle movie. they did not promote that At All. a teeny bit suspicious of DC #to show such little investment in that movie's success. like the last hispanic led superhero movie was spiderverse bc miles is mixed #which is cool but #but yknow. jaime is important to me for personal reasons and i hate that he got a movie that completely passed by me like that #i go to the theaters!! i saw wonder woman in theaters!! but i missed out on the chance to see blue beetle bc the promo was nonexistent #i dont talk about jaime bc truthfully his significance to me is less ''im invested in this character'' and more #''child me was so happy seeing a hispanic character other than dora for once''#he still triggers that memory and feeling in my brain of finally thinking i can be ok #blah blah being a part hispanic teen in the trump era in a like 95% white town in a republican state was rough or whatever #''im barely a shade darker and no one will know if i dont tell them but i feel isolated anyways #bc my peers are describing all the awful things they hope mexicans go through''#my hispanic heritage is also specifically mexican so it was Rough #christ im going on a bit #dear diary type of rant #unrelated but ive recently discovered baljeet is to indian kids what dora is to hispanic kids #which lowkey suck bc there's nothing wrong w either of those characters #just that some ppl grow up with them being the only frame of reference they have for those groups and it leads to Unpleasant Interactions #my lil sibling refuses to learn spanish bc she got compared to dora growing up and it pissed her off that much #i think sometimes the dora comparison was said affectionately but that didn't really make a difference for her
