I could speak..... but I choose to keep the peace.... hope anon won't complain if another anon comes and gives a response with the same rude and dismissive language (lmao who am I kidding. Of course they will)

The absolute self-satisfaction they must have got from saying "faulty expeectations" must be unmatched though, they probably got a realllll good kick outta that one!

“Decline in quality” is insane when KH3 is miles above every other KH game in terms of technical/graphical quality, combat mechanics, movement, level design, superbosses, character animation… I could go on…

Just say you have nostalgia-tinted glasses on for games like Hallway Hearts 2 (have fun grinding for basic mobility!) or Birth by Godawful Boss Design and go. Leave those of us who found KH3 to be a perfectly good game with flaws (Just Like Every Other KH, In Fact) the hell alone. And go cry in your corner that the story wasn’t the exact vision of whatever delusional fanfic you were imagining, blaming your own faulty expectations on Nomura instead of self-reflecting

Bitching about KH3 is so 2019, seriously. You guys are just passé. You were never going to be satisfied no matter what the game did or didn’t do.

Laura's reaction to Deadpool may be the best.

I just realised that Ben Affleck, too, knows what it's like to repeatedly fumble a baddie, oh man he's Just Like Bruce fr

putting my reply in the reboots for more visibility;

Wording is horrible but actually this is true, in the sense he had co-writers.

Jun Akiyama solely wrote KH1, and Daisuke Watanabe p much singlehandedly wrote CoM so much so that Nomura had to call him when he was writing KH2s scenario bc he knew the Organisation better. And KH2 had Nojima and Watanabe on board too. Days had the novel writer (Kanemaki?). Recoded and after Nomura has been practically solo. Although Watanabe's credits are on BBS so I think it's safe to assume he had a substantial part for that game.

I don't respect Nomura anymore since finding out he had to be put on a leash by other writers for the early games to be written better, we saw what happens when you let the dog loose and have free reign of the house with the later games.

Red Hood!Dick Grayson role reversal aus can’t work because if Talia saw a catatonic Dick on the street she would walk past him and keep it pushing

They took David out of the surfing scene and gave his caretaking role to a made up woman character because modern Disney executives can't wrap their head around a man wanting to take care of a child that's not his after being rejected by her sister and so having nothing to gain from it. You cannot convince me otherwise.

MINI-EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT:

WOMEN OF COMICS: “THROUGH YOUR LENS”!

do you love female characters and an ENDLESS stream of thoughts about them? do you find yourself delving deep into their minds or the themes of their stories or their character development, only for it to go unnoticed? you are not alone, and you no longer have to shout into the void alone.

I STARTED THIS COMMUNITY to help curate a productive and focused space for appreciating female characters without unwanted derailment. it's still young and new, so, i was hoping to inspire a wider variety of meta and discussions because i want to engage with the way you engage with your favourite heroines.

if that sounds like your deal, PLEASE READ FURTHER AND BOOST THIS POST BY REBLOGGING IT!

EVENT: you can participate by sharing a meta discussion or post about any female character(s) of your choice, using any of the prompts below, curated by yours truly. this is meant to lean towards analysis of canon material rather than writing fanfiction.

PROMPTS:

I. “CHARACTER STUDY.” choose any character(s) of your choice and give your take on their characterisation. think of them as layers: the outer surface — their demeanour and first impression, then their motivations — intrinsic and extrinsic, their strengths and weaknesses, their personality, their behaviours in social interactions, their quirks, their fears, their psychology, their development and arcs, and so on. you can opt for a generalised overview or dive into a specific aspect of their characterisation. you can analyse them from any type of angle. II. “VERSUS.” pick two women who have been pitted against each other for any type of conflict, and think about it. was that rivalry organic and inevitable or editorially forced and unexpected? was it beneficial or meaning for their character development? could it have been handled differently? was it interesting or tired? do you consider it reflective of our society? do you think this type of stories have any impact on the way we discuss relationships between women? does the bechdel test come to mind? III. “MISCHARACTERISATION.” take any story, plot, comic, etc. of your choice and make your case for why this specific portrayal of the character does a disservice to them and is out of character. then tell me the implications and impact; did this mischaracterisation stem from ignorance or stereotypes? how much did this instance damage the public perception and understanding of the character? IV. “A RETCON YOU ACTUALLY LIKED.” not all dramatic changes are bad all the time, and reboots aren't always terrible beyond belief. sometimes, they can work! i'd love to hear if there's an example you're fond of that was beneficial to your favourite character. V. “BY DESIGN.” aesthetics aren't always surface-level, sometimes they can be reflective of who we are on the inside or carry significance that is cultural, psychological, or sentimental at times. for this prompt, i'd like for you to analyse the sartorial choices made in the design of your female character: why do they look the way they do? why these costume choices? why this colour scheme? why that hair length? why those gloves and masks? are these retcons helpful? additionally, you can also use this prompt to defend a specific character design you like. VI. “DREAM TEAM-UP.” if you're anything like me, you have multiple favourites and you love playing dolls with them. so, use this prompt to propose a team-up, crossover, or collaboration of your choice! no limits on the number (minimum: two female characters), as long the focus is on the women of marvel and dc comics. you can analyse why these characters would work or wouldn't, draw parallels between them, think about what their dynamic would be like, propose a story idea, and so on. also, if these two did meet but you want them to meet again? i'll allow it. VII. “PHOENIX.” pick any character who's been killed off, retconned out of existence, or simply collecting dust in limbo — and make your case for why they should be brought back to the current times. when was the last time they were mentioned? do you know what plans the editorial did have for them? do you think they can fit in now? how would you reconcile their years of absence? what would you retcon from the past story, and what new changes would you make for their new ones? what would their new debut be like?

GUIDELINES.

do you need to be a member of the community to participate? it's appreciated, but it's not mandatory! this event is open to everybody.

is there a fixed time or deadline? honestly? no. i understand people can be busy and whatnot, and frankly, co-ordinating a timed event can be a hassle. these prompts are forever and always available for use.

word count? as much or as little as you'd like. a minimum of one paragraph would be appreciated.

the questions in the prompts' description are not meant to be taken literally. they're only elaborate, the words in the quotation marks are the prompts. you can use my questions as a framework or just ignore them outright and interpret the prompt however you'd like it to be.

the focus should be on female characters. marvel and dc only. comics only.

i won't say you can't write your meta without sources, but it's strongly recommend to the cite the comics you're discussing; your citations should include comic name, year, and writer. a wiki link would be appreciated so that people don't get confused which comic you're dissecting. you can also cite other secondary sources.

these prompts aren't for storytelling, but moreso for articles or essays, as well as think-pieces and ideas for potential stories. these do not have to be unbiased or professional or following some fancy formatting or whatever, images and aesthetics not needed as long as your stuff is comprehensible. again, you can structure your meta that way.

you can be biased and whatnot, but the main thing i'm looking for is passion and enthusiasm for what you like. critiques are welcome, but in that case, i'd also recommend adding in solutions or constructive feedback too.

no ai. no plagiarism. no unpleasant arguments or disrespect or insulting.

tag appropriately and correctly!

no deliberate misinformation. no bigotry, propaganda, harmful rhetoric, and so on.

you can submit as many times as you'd like for as many of the prompts for as many female characters.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINE: tag your posts with #throughyourlens, @ me, and message/inbox me a link to your post, and i'll reblog your meta to the women of comics community. additionally, you are welcome to reblog your post directly to the community.

any other questions? reach out to me!

LOVE, sans. 🩵

because they want us all to be

no offence but i don't really get how people of the famous white guys in the fandom get so easily touchy whenever their fave is criticised just a little. like jesus, your faves gets runs, fanfics, merch, adaptations, team ups, etc relentlessly like no other. your faves have privilege in universe and as official characters. you have millions of years of content for them. so fucking what if someone finds them lame or rightfully calls them out for being shitty to other characters with panels. just exit that page and go to communities you'll instantly find twenty five of Character Name Dick Sucker groups so it's not like your fave is hated all the time they're put on a pedestal

no, i'm not saying you can't disagree with people or feel bad. i just don't get how you act oppressed about it when some of us, hear us out, haven't seen our faves in comics for twenty years, that or they're vilified, misunderstood, retconned beyond recognition, sexualised, objectified, and victimised by bigotry – sexism, racism, and xenophobia. it's nowhere as bad as your faves being the vehicle for these bigotry, which is unfortunate but it's also comparatively understandable when people dislike or criticise your faves for those.

like. how do you get the time to care about random people's preferences and opinions when you could literally be drowning in all the good, endlessly growing content of your faves in both canon and fandom.

This Is Not About One Just Character

okay casskon truthers I understand your vision here

Ra's becoming the dad (grandpa in his case) that doesn't like the Damian's pets at first and tries to act like he's happy that Damian's finally taking his pets back after babysitting them but is secretly missing them. Talia in the background questioning her life choices while Ra's mopes about the turkey that he wanted to cook literally five minute ago.

He did the same to Talia’s pets when she was little. He said he did not want them but he was suspiciously always on the same room with them and petting them on the head.

Maybe Ra’s is just a terrible liar and they all know this.
