At some point "fanfic can be as good as professional writing" became "fanfic should be as good as professional writing" and that's caused major damage to fandom spaces.

Back when I worked at a restaurant, we would have this one DoorDash guy who had honest to God the worst timing ever. I never learned his name but he looked like a Mark and he had a special talent for showing up as something was happening. One time he came to pick up an order as the police were escorting someone from the bar for trying to assault the bartender and Mark was just standing in the middle of the entryway like🧍‍♂️asking about a burger that hadn't been started yet. Another time, he showed up as the kitchen was on fire and didn't understand why he couldn't pick up his order anyway even after my boss explained it to him three times. There was also the time he showed up and twenty seconds later, our POS system spontaneously imploded and our boss—the only person who could fix it—was out that day. Mark was an omen. Every time we saw his car pull up, there would be a collective sense of exhaustion mixed with dread.

Anyway, I think every piece of superhero media needs a civilian background character like Mark whose sole purpose is to get in the way and Fuck Shit Up by simply existing.

Gojo making the first move 😳

Thinking about how in the Archie Ninja Turtle comics Hitler's brain traveled back in time to team up his WW2 self. The Turtles go back in time to retrieve his brain but WW2 Hitler holds them at gunpoint and accuses them of being demons who've come for his soul. Leo says they only came for his brain. WW2 Hitler misinterprets this as being his brain rather than his brain in the future and kills himself to stop the turtles from getting his brain.

Tldr: The Ninja Turtles killed Hitler.

I see tons of BatFamily fanworks (fanfiction, fanart, ect) featuring the four robins-Dick, Jason, Tim and Damian-and (sometimes) with Babs as Batgirl. For the record, I think these characters and the fanworks are brilliant. Yet, deep down, I always keep asking "Where is Cass, Steph and Duke?" Especially considering: .Cass, as Batgirl, had one of the best-selling, long-running comic series to star a disabled woman of colour superhero. .Cass predated Damian and the resurracted Jason Todd, appearing in 1999, Jason was resurrected as Red Hood in 2005 and Damian first appearing in 2006. .Steph, as Spoiler, appeared in 1992 as an ally of Batman and Robin (Tim Drake) and a love interest of Tim but would develop as a hero in her own right. .Steph had a very short but unforgettable stint as Robin. .While not as long or commercially successful as Cass's Batgirl run, Steph's turn as Batgirl was still widely acclaimed. .As a young kid, Duke's intelligence and puzzle-solving inspired Batman to defeat the Riddler during Year One, .Duke would join the antifascist vigilante youth known as "The Robins", helping strike a blow against criminal gangs and play apart in taking down the Court Of Owls. .Duke eventually became the Signal, staring alongside Batman in several acclaimed storylines from All-Star Batman, Detective Comics and Batman And The Outsiders.

I still don't understand. Why does the BatFam fandom know very little about Cass, Steph and Duke?

Agatha All Along Episode 6 Thoughts and Feelings

I cannot stop repeating “What does Billy MaXaMOFF want at the end of the road?”

I was hugely impressed by the backstory of Billy. It was honestly one of the most comic accurate character backstories that Marvel has produced. I really was not sure how on screen they were going to show how William Kaplan is the reincarnation of Billy Maxamoff but I enjoyed what they did. I think that it made sense. It’s such a wild concept that when I talk about it with people no one ever understands it unless they’ve read the comics. But GG (good game) Marvel. You pulled that off well.

I had no idea that it was Evan Peters in the bucket hat and trench coat until we really saw his face. It also didn’t feel like a big revel and unless you were hip and knew about Wandavision you would miss it. That is one thing I really like about this series is that there has been so many crazy details but they’re also so easy to miss unless you are extremely familiar with a lot of previous content. At least that’s how I feel. Like the whole darkhold thing in episode 1. It was such a small detail when they said that there were 3 books that combusted and, knowing that the Darkholds in all universes get destroyed, there have 3 Darkhold appearances in all live action Marvel. One of these was in Runaways, another was in Agents of Shield (season about the Framework), and Wandavision/Multiverse of Maddness (yes this is 2 projects but the same book was used by Wanda in both movies.) Like I feel like your average Marvel fan would not be hip to that.

I feel like I need to make another post about my thoughts on Billy being right in Jersey and Wanda destroying Karma Taj and she didn’t look around first for Billy but how it also makes sense because she thought they were dead.

One of my biggest questions after this episode (besides what’s going to happen next) is what is going on with William Kaplan’s parents right now? How long have they been on The Witch's Road?

Even as a big Wanda Stan I really hope she is not in this series and I hope they are able to find Tommy at the end of the road. They need to find Wanda together so we can have the Avengers: The Children’s Crusade storyline.

Yuh.

Fandom Problem #4966:

When you want to get into a piece of media, only for there to be like 4 other adaptation/series/mediums you have to consume to even get a faint idea of what the hell is going on.
