Why aren’t you a fan of Zealot being apart of Mark Waid’s JLU-inspired expanded JLA roster?

Because Zealot isn’t a superhero, she’s a soldier.

I don’t actually want to make a huge deal of it though, because it’s an incredibly minor detail— I think that cameo page was just more or less everyone from an ongoing (or ostensibly on a team in an ongoing), as a demonstration of “everyone is on the League now”. I highly doubt she’s going to show up again in this book, outside of a similar groupshot cameo.

what is your favorite Reverse 1999 patch?

Oh 1.8 hands down

No one's doing it like her, no one gave me such a false sense of hope only to pull the rug off my feet, no one gave me such a sense of security only to get me shot in the head, it's so wholesome, it made me depressed, it's so sweet, I cried when Evgeni died, it's amazing simply one of the best updates ever, cried when Windsong came five pulls away from the godforsaken pity

Like it was so funny thinking back on it now bc when I finished the event, I was there wondering why it's called "Farewell, Rayashki" when they rebuilt the town and such y'know, and my thought process was that oh okay, bc Vila was heading to the Foundation and Windsong was heading to Laplace, maybe it's a temporary farewell

Boy I wish that was it lmfao😭

I really wish that was it and then Vila's character story happened and I was like oh. Okay. I see. That's why it's called Farewell, Rayashki. I get it. It doesn't hurt, don't worry. Everything's fine :')

i do want catws opinions!! so much!!! mcu cap am was one of my major interests for quite some time, so i am Very interested! tbh don't much care for the rest of the mcu all that much, like ive seen quite a few of the movies but absolutely far from all of them. and like tbh i cared the most about catfa & catws and then steve and his relationship with people, idk i just love his character so much, I've done some sort of analysis inside my head of his character, but it's been A While so i don't remember any of it in words, just vibes lol. also idk how i feel about cacw, it just sorta didn't feel like His story, it felt more like avengers 2.5 or smth.

also related to steve & peggy, i feel like the thing that makes their story stay so strong Is the missed opportunity, the longing for something that can never be. it's this thing that was on the brink of possibility, and where the potential was so big and tangible, and they both felt it, and then all of a sudden the possibility is gone, it's lost, forever. idk like i think steve going back in time to dance with peggy would be sweet, But, it just doesn't move me as much unless peggy also knows that the moment is a promise fullfilled and a dream that can never be, it's one more aching moment together and then it's goodbye. idk like i thought the scene in endgame when they danced was absolutely beautiful, but to me it is a dream, and to me it feels kinda disrespectful to all of them(steve peggy & bucky) to have steve go backwards, that's not him, maybe when he first woke up after the ice, if presented with the possibility he wouldn't be able to resist, but otherwise his character is LITERALLY about getting back up again!! and then also peggy had a life?? with someone else!! and she was happy with her life! he literally knows this, he talked to her when she was old! why would he disregard that?? and then why would he live the rest of his life knowing bucky is the winter soldier and then NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT????????? idk it's just like, when SO MUCH of steves story is so closely intertwined with bucky it just doesn't make any sense to leave him??

also while i am a romantic stucky believer, truly more than that i am a soulmates stucky believer! so the stobin tws au really really hit me in the feels yk.

Okay so. What makes CAWS so good, and one of the best mcu films, is that it uses superheroes not as a genre, but as a vehicle for a genre. Winter Soldier is a spy thriller. Arguably TFA also does this by being a war film? But WS embraces it. It's so clearly a spy thriller with a superhero setting! More superhero movies should have co-genre I think. It can be watched as a stand alone, with good solid introductions to characters, to the point that it's bascially the only mcu movie I've watched with my mother that she hasn't asked "who's that?" and why they were doing stuff. Basically every other one, besides the first in their series require prior knowledge of characters for most of the impact of them.

WS doesn't? We see Steve and Natasha have a friendly relationship, that steve's a supersoldier and also takes risks (no parachute), that they're some kind of soldiers, that there's some secret operations going on. We get this! Then we meet Sam and we see that Steve is also incredibly lonely, we see him at the Howling Commandos exhibit, and sure maybe it's hamfisted by focusing on bucky or whatever but that sets it up! we now who steve is, why he's lonely, and some of his values.

and even without TFA, as soon as the mask comes off, we know this is someone steve knows. When he insists on saving Bucky, he uses the line "even when I had nothing, I had Bucky" having watched tfa before just makes it hit harder.

I'm going to be real with you I've watched civil war once and was like "this is kinda stupid? very stupid" and then stopped really paying attention to most marvel movies.

oh yes so true about Steve and Peggy. It's compelling because the could have beens. If that had happened, but then steve went back to present, I would not be mad. It wouldn't be weirdly stealing someone else's life? Especially combined with the Agent Carter Tv series, Peggy has closure for Steve's death. Though it's still an ache, and she mourns and misses him, she's still living her life. She isn't caught up on him as a romantic interests. She has multiple (they should have given us more cartinelli tbh we were robbed in s2) in the series! She had a good, long, and happy life. Steve just dropping in sometime in the 40s(?) with the expectation of pursuing a romantic relationship with her would likely be a shock, and unwanted. They both would have changed from where they left off, both having mourned each other and their relationship. It wouldn't have worked! But to have him drop in. tell her "hey. I can't stay for long. I'm sorry it has to be this way. But I owe you a dance, and it's been killing me breaking a promise to my best girl." That!!! would have!! been! so sweet! A final goodbye for both of them. The final closure and fulfilled promise from oh so long ago.

Steve had spent at least ten years out of the ice before endgame. I just. How could they slide him back to what he would have done directly after being thawed? Like I don't think even lost sadman beginning of ws steve would have stayed back. He's changed and he can't go back to what things were. he keeps getting up, even when he shouldn't! That's what's endearing about Steve, his stubbornness, and his willingness to put himself on the line to protect people. That's why he was the first and only (official) American supersoldier. He carries on, even when it's almost unbearable for him to do so.

It's so... It felt cheap and insulting to him and Peggy and Bucky. Because you're correct!! It means Steve went back to nineteen fourty-whatever and chose not to do anything about the 80+ years of horrible things that happened in the world. Especially chose not to do anything when he knew exactly where Bucky, who he had previously jumped behind enemy lines with nothing but a wing a prayer and a shield to save, who he had defied governments for, who he's nearly died for multiple times, was??? how in the WORLD did the same screenwriters and directors who made one of the best marvel movies that highlighted and used their friendship in such a compelling way also write/direct that for them? how? valuing romance over any other kind of relationship I guess?

yeah I think what's compelling about stucky is that there is so much love there, that they've known each other for their whole lives, and will continue to be (or should be) a vast part of each other's worlds no matter what that relationship looks like. They're soulmates, whatever that looks like for them. and if it's romance then that romance is built upon the deep devoted friendship they have. That's everything about them. Everything is built on a sickly and scrappy kid who couldn't leave well enough alone and got pushed into the dirt by bullies he stood up to over, and over, and over again, and some charming schmuck who looked at him and thought "I'm gonna help him keep get back up". to the point where they broke over half a century of brain washing because of it.

“I think this comparison overlooks the fact that like. Gen13 is X-Men”

What does that mean in relation to the Teen Titans/Young Justice?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean here, so I'll try to explain what I meant:

In terms of themes and in universe status, Gen13 is much more similar to the X-Men et al than to the Titans or YJ. Like-- Gen13 formed because they were on the run from the government for having superpowers. That automatically puts them in a position way more similar to the X-Men et al than to any group of teens or young adults who were by and large already superheroes/vigilantes coming together for superhero/vigilante stuff. Plus, like, they're a Jim Lee co-creation. He's an X-Men guy.

I'm not saying it's wrong to compare Gen13 to the Titans or YJ, I just don't think it holds up very well. They are not analogous to each other, they operate differently, and their in-universe status is pretty different. Not every designated 'youth' team is comparable outside of, well, being designated 'youth' teams.

re your anon's "Also I find it funny that I keep finding out every other acclaimed Shakespearean actor has some weird ass theory on Shakespeare or his work. Like why?" - this so much! One is Baconian, another is Rutlandian etc, bless Tennant at the very least for "I don't really caring" this issue from the get go.

Imagine if Kris just woke up one day as a monster. No context why, nor how it happened. Everything else is exactly the same as it was before, it's just that he's no longer human.

And the only person that remembers this is Kris himself.

U mean like,, rn?

(rmndr that kris canonically uses they/them btw xoxo)
