It really wants to be a Robocop remake. (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW9rrEvl1L2/?utm_medium=tumblr

GrittyReboot!Ford unironically wears "Built Ford Tough" shirts and doesn't have enough of a sense of humor to know why people are laughing. It's MASCULINE. HE'S TOUGH.

sdgkjdgdgskjgdkjg my first instinct was ‘wait that actually really funny of him’ but of COURSE he wouldnt even have a sense of humor about it. No Fun Allowed

‘Gritty Reboots’

You may have heard the term banded around a lot and often thought “oo yeah a gritty reboot of that would be great!” Well, in the words of Donald Trump…. WRONG!

It’s not always the case that a ‘gritty reboot’ is bad and completely loses elements of the plot that made the original great. Take The Dark Knight trilogy for example, that was essentially a reboot of the Batman franchise and it was amazing! 

It brought in its own unique plot lines that just worked (even if everyone did hate Rachel) and focused more on the reality of being a superhero than the wacky Joel Schumacher Batman films.

Bad examples (very bad)

When I talk about a bad ‘gritty reboot’ I think about films such as the 2014 Robocop and the 2006 Superman Returns, where I wished Superman had never bothered to return….

I hate the feeling when you’re excited to go and see a film at the cinema, you sit through it for 2 hours or so and come out thinking you would have had more fun throwing rocks at a wall.

That’s how I felt when I went to see Robocop, it was probably too naive of me to think that they could remake such a classic in the same way. But in my defense they did have Gary Oldman on board but he kind of sunk into the background unfortunately.

Some good examples

I only need to say one word. Craig.

Another controversial casting of a soon to be huge success, Daniel Craig absolutely nailed the part of James Bond and suddenly people forgot how Roger Moore could knock people out with a swift judo chop to the back of the neck.

Director Martin Campbell managed to restore what made James Bond great in Casino Royale, bringing back things that made the character iconic in the first place such as his trademark Aston Martin. 

I could never understand why Pierce Brosnan drove around in a BMW Z3 as if it was better than DB5 (yes, BMW had a 3 movie sponsorship deal but still).

In conclusion

After a bit of a balanced argument there I’ve come to the conclusion that ‘gritty reboots’ aren’t as bad as they seem, but Hollywood really need to keep their dirty paws off the past and start coming up with some more original films!

Feel free to share your views on ‘gritty reboots’ i’m interested to see what you guys think of them.

Thanks all, farewell.

October Fic List

Great fics I’ve read these past few weeks:

by @backtothestart02:

One-Shot (”‘Um, is it just me or The Flash was flirting with you in that interview’ ‘What?! No’“ Cute and flirtatious!)

by barryxiris:

catch me when I fall (”Iris wondered if this is what Joe felt like when her appendix bursted. The feeling that something was wrong was clouding her thoughts but all she knew is that she needed to get to Barry, she needed to know if he was okay.[Pre-Season One]” Raw and emotional Barry and Iris moment, highlighting their deep connection - very well done!)

by GrittyReboot:

Forever Yours, Iris West (”Every time I love a boy so much that I can't take it, I write them a letter. There are five in total, written over a period of 6 years. I would never think of sending them, but it comforts me to know that they exist. My emotions can’t crush me if I keep them in a box. To All The Boys I've Loved Before AU. “ In-progress. Very awesome so far!)

by @sophisticatedloserchick:

Interruptions (”Ever since Nora arrived she’s been interrupting her parents ‘alone time’ Rating: PG-13″ the summary is pretty self-explanatory... *wiggles eyebrows* the ending made me laugh ;)

Enjoy!

Sissssss when u gonna update ur westallen rec list please please please ❤️

i’ve actually been working on a fic rec page but the html took me forever to fix because i included 834702 parameters so that people can easily find exactly what they’re looking for and i have very little time right now so i haven’t had a chance to start adding fics to it. i can’t give you an approximate time or anything because i’m ridiculously busy this summer but i will try real hard to get it up with a huge list of fics before s4 starts. i know this isn’t soon but it’s the best i can do. sorry! 

and off the top of my head, some recent faves: mmtion’s last fic posted recently — no love in the hunt (read this the night before last and fucking dieeed. as usual top notch from my fave fic writer it’s so so good.), letters unread if you still haven’t read it (seriously. i haven’t had a chance to talk about this fic or tell her yet how much i loved it but honestly? saved my life), mosylu’s this will be (the one i’ve waited for) was insanely cute and adorable and a very well written multi-chapter story. grittyreboot also started a new story that i’ve enjoyed so far — heart in a cage. i’ve also discovered a new favorite writer since the last time i updated my rec list! i would highly recommend you check out everything raquetgirl on ao3 has written for barry and iris (especially the emotion series. i’m still hoping this will be updated). i almost forgot but! gnimaerd also wrote a new fic recently! her own finite time — flawless as usual! (obviously when i finally put up the rec page it will include all of these and tons more lmao)

Heart in a Cage - Chapter 8

Westallen fic by GrittyReboot,  Chapters:8/?

Notes:

I'm genuinely sorry that I took so long to update, and unfortunately I can't promise that the next one will be much faster. I'm hellbent on finishing the third draft of my novel and getting it ready for beta readers by the end of the month, so that's going to take priority right now. But bear with me, I don't believe in leaving fics unfinished. Also, CCBWOG should hopefully be updated by Sunday.

Read it here - Chapter 8

Olicity Fic Survey - Redux

I posted this once before, after the end of s3. But lately, I’ve wanted to revisit this specific rec list. I know I have some new answers. I also added some new categories, for fun. :) 

PART I – YOUR WORK

The fic I’m really proud of: All of them, honestly. 

The fic I had fun writing: My True Love Gave To Me - this year’s Christmas AU. I took JUST over a week to write 50k words, based on a Lifetime Christmas movie and it was such a ride. 

The fic that stressed me out a lot but ended up okay: this would have to be In the Moment (we’re lost and found) because I did not write the entire fic before posting. And that just stresses me out to do that. I just wanted to know I could do it and I definitely could but I do not want to try it again.

The most popular fic I have: This one is still Let Your Heart Be Light. I think it will ALWAYS be Let Your Heart Be Light.

grittyreboot replied to your post “ugh man im so disappointed with the way supergirl is turning out......”

I don't think James has been sidelined, to me he's actually been given more interesting stuff to do this season. He just isn't with Kara, which sucks for its own reasons but doesn't strike me as sidelining. Which character has been whitewashed though? This is the first I'm hearing about it.

No, I don’t necessarily think he was sidelined either. From what I can tell, they’re focusing more on his independent storyline than they ever have, which is great. What’s irksome is that it seems as though the writers gave in to racist fans shouting for Karolsen not to happen. Because after a season of build-up, she breaks it off with him and in-universe, it’s less than 48 hours since they originally got together. It was just a bullshit way for them to go about it. Especially since her reasoning was “focusing on her career” when they’re clearly about to go the romance route with the first white boy that came along, Mon-El. I just doesn’t look good. 

In terms of the whitewashing Floriana Lima, who plays Maggie Sawyer is Italian/White. Even though Maggie has been heavily coded as Non-white/Latinx by both the writers and the character herself.
