My favorite character in DC is Jason Todd. I love him so much, his story is heartbreaking and interesting and he's a much better character for having died and come back with absolute buckets of trauma.

My favorite character in Marvel and the MCU is Bucky... I think maybe I have a type.

At this point, when watching a DC movie or tv show, my friend and I will play the game of “which Robin is it? Okay and which Robin are they saying it is?” Because the Tim Drake-ification of Dick & Damian is only rivaled by the occasional Jason Todd-ification of Tim. We rejoice when a Robin is actually acting like himself.

I’m not super enthused by what we’ve seen of the sonic x dc fusion comic series so far. Mainly since the designs themselves look super uninspired and bland. But I will say I am intrigued by the concept solely because of the implication of The justice league/sonic gang fusions having civilian identities. And, specifically, the idea of Shadow Batman (Bathog??) having a Bruce Wayne-like civilian identity.

Like. Can you look me in the eye, and tell me, with a straight face, that the mental image of Shadow the Hedgehog putting on an oblivious, laidback billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne persona to draw suspicion away from his superhero identity similar to Batman: the animated series Bruce or Christian Bale Nolan Trilogy Bruce doesn’t at least mildly amuse you?

Countdown to Agatha All Along: Day 816

Agatha: “I don’t want to go to that stupid S.W.O.R.D. company party!”

Wanda: “Agatha, I think it’s time to face your greatest fear.”

Agatha: “Wait, are they going to have animatronic sharks there?!”

Wanda: “Huh?”

Agatha: “Loud toilet flushes?!”

Agatha: “ANIMATRONIC SHARKS THAT SOUND LIKE LOUD TOILETS?!”

Wanda: “No - the chance to make amends.”

Agatha: *disgusted face* “Nope. A loud toilet full of animatronic sharks is much scarier. So thanks for that image, goodnight!”

Now that I'm older, every time some form of media is adapted in a new format (book to movie, videogame to tv series, animation to live action, etc.) I always take the criticisms of it with a grain of salt because I feel like what it means to adapt successfully means something different to everyone.

I always feel like people want an exact 1:1 adaptation but fail to realize the nuance that comes with each form of adaptation. Sure you can break every piece of media down by like, setting, character, and plot, or specific story beats or even down to specific physical details but people fail to realize how this is going to read to the consumer across different forms.

Scenes that are in a first person point of view in say, a book, are going to read different than a scene of a movie, which similar to a play or show on a stage need to be designed in a way the consumer can digest.

In a book, you can slowly be fed information as it is deemed necessary to the story. Details can be intentionally left out, leading to inaccurate judgements that can snowball into larger consequences. With movies or television, as soon as you see the scene or characters, you're seeing them as the whole bigger picture. The details are either there or they aren't, a faster judgment can be made, more meaning can be inferred by visuals, so a character's motivation becomes more of a driving point. A plot element intentionally left out in a book, can alienate the consumer if not properly handled in a movie or television setting, and part of adapting that piece of media is ensuring it's done properly, and I feel like people don't understand that. The art of adaptation is how consistent purpose can be conveyed while adhering to the rules of the established media.

It seems people just want, "the same thing" as a book, tv show, or a movie, videogame, comic, animated version, or in a live action version and it just Doesn't Work Like That.

Each form of media has their own rules of what 'works' and a good story will utilize those unique aspects of that form of media to tell the story; but the method of how that story is told has to change in order for it to be a successful adaptation.
