You could tell me the people who wrote/drew that story had never seen a single other plastic man property and instead had him explained to them once at a party and I'd believe you.
I thought the entire book was kinda eh not just the Plas story so maybe it was more whoever 'directed' the book?? Editors and whatnot? For stories about passion, they were hollow. It felt like every single thing about plas was ignored in favour of making him some larger-than-life playboy. Oh but he's actually soooooo lonely do you care 🥺 🥺 🥺. Does booster not fill that niche enough? (I did like the booster story. That one was fun).
Like that was just. A different character altogether. Even other characters in the story felt sooo out of wack. Why is Batman drunk at a party stealin his girl. Why is wonder woman literally forgetting he even exists. Why is this cafe owner playing catty and hard to get. Who acts like that.
And oooooo that fat joke made me mad. In 2024? Really? Come on. I'm on the heavier side myself and it was pretty disappointing to see.
I hate being nitpicky but the art wasnt great. The v-neck, huge diamond, and shorts? Nah not for me.
Is her nose pointed up or down. Plz decide
I DID like the part where he's forced to confront his people-pleasing attitude and learn that it's not actually bringing him happiness. That felt real. That hit. Everything around that? Well I'm gonna forget it ever happened cuz ohhhh my god that sucked. That suuuuhhuhhhcked~
