versions of booster gold made by people who obviously dont know much about booster can be so infuriating because they tend to depict him as stupid or as a joke and then people who only know him from these depictions in more popular media have a skewed impression of him

#and like in justice league unlimited #even when the whole thing is about him wanting to be treated seriously #while also still wanting fame and recognition #it feels like a regurgitation of a lot of what he goes through and learns in his first solo #but worse #the 'i thought you were green lantern' joke feels like a rip off of the people calling him buster joke #except the thing about the comics is that he was well known #and the conflict was that he was well known but since he did so much ads and sponsorships and corporate shit #and that he acted like an open book while telling people nothing about himself #led to a distrust with the general opinion on him #which led to interesting plotlines and shit #and sure his tagline is 'the greatest hero youve never heard of' but he has very much been heard of in universe #at least like orginally #anyway this whole thing could be applied to a lot of comic characters unfortunately #but im just pissed that i cant find like a show version of him that does him justice #i hope that whenever james gunn makes that booster gold show that he actually does booster some good #and keeps the og comics in mind #ugh i wish people writing characters should read at least a decent chunk of the characters source material #and other things with them that are properly characterised #anywho i should reread some of my favorite booster comics to make up for it
