seen a lot of people talking about fanon stuff specifically irt dc recently and i have to say i think it really comes down to a lot of people just… not caring about comics as a medium. which sucks imo! comics are such a unique and special format for storytelling and i really just think a lot of these stories or characters don’t hit the same when you divorce them from that context. which is where i think a lot of the stuff i’ve seen people talk about comes from… like sure you can look at panels posted online or read through a character’s wikipedia article and know all of the technical canon about them but i think that by not reading the comics you’re robbing yourself of smth very special... i really love when you can tell people who talk about these things have a real love for & knowledge of the medium and its history
#talking#i hope this doesn’t come off as rude or anything…#they’re just a very special medium i think! the history of it as a whole is so interesting to me#this is also why i feel like adaptations are so hard to get right#like the dark phoenix saga… death in the family… etc etc#they can be adapted well ! but the reason they’re so iconique is imo owed to the comic format#dc#i would encourage anyone who enjoys these characters but hasn’t read the comics yet to give it a try!! it will only make u enjoy them more!
