#i had to endure too many pussy writers in the past years retconning their female characters and their queer characters

I'm just— i geniunely dont know what to say about Doom Patrol (2019). in less than 10 episodes this show has saved me in ways i can't even begin to put into words, like. On a narrative level this show is— revolutionary doesn't even begin to cover it, it's a fucking bone breaking experience and so, so real. Like i know that people love to refer to Doom Patrol as THEE found family show, but it's so so so much more, i geniunely cannot bring myself to file it under a single genre or trope, it'd feel so inadequate. Doom Patrol is a story about what it means to be human. There's not a single able bodied person in sight, it's got the most disgusting, awe inspiring, lovable characters, and each story is treated with so much intelligence and compassion and intricacy and kindness that it makes you cry. I literally cry my ass off at every fucking episode, this dc superhero show is a manifesto for the broken postmodern human, it could meet Nietzsche in the pit and break him in half. I'm positively going to die when i finish Doom Patrol, every single character in this bastard of a show has became my fucking lifeline, but also i dont think i'll ever finish it, it's like saying "yeah i finished reading the buddhism principles", this shit will take a lifetime to live by.
#I'm positively going insane like#on one hand i'm absolutely grieving the fact that Gotham TV didn't get picked up by Jeremy Carver#Because Carver; to put it simply; is a fucking visionary and a boundary breaking force of nature for bringing Doom Patrol to screen#the intelligence and emotional maturity it takes to tackle a story like doom patrol is quite frankly staggering. Carver would've made#the best fucking thing with Gotham TV because he's not a coward and not a dainty daisy conformist#and he would've made a masterpiece out of Jerome and Jeremiah Valeska#but besides that#i literally can't get over how unbearably kind doom patrol is in portraying the most harrowing human experiences#how loving and considerate; every moment of this show is a love letter to people nobody can afford to love these days#fucking insane insane production. I can't believe how deep this show reaches into your guts and rips out your entire personality#Like i'm so proud to be able to watch this show and call myself a Doom Patrol fan. This story is so intelligent it makes you proud#just to be able to understand it#Every single hearbreak Gotham TV brought me by its failure to have courage and stay true to the story it wanted to tell#Doom Patrol has healed by being an outrageous narrative for all the misfits and monsters of the world#i had to endure too many pussy writers in the past years retconning their female characters and their queer characters#and apologising in ironic shame for the transgressions of the narratives they were writing and backtracking into status quo to keep#the mainstream average viewer happy#but NOT DOOM PATROL#this show came in with the full intention of saying everything that needs to be said and by gods did they say it#Blue Eye Samurai and Doom Patrol truely the only TV shows that mattered in the past 5 years#YOU DONT UNDERSTAND DOOM PATROL MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME!!!!!!
