#Superhero Conversations

[plaid-maniac]

Do you ever think about how there totally could have been an old classmate of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth in the audience during like turnabout sister or turnabout samurai. Do you think they would realize? Like “hey, were those the guys in my class in like fourth grade? I kinda remember them. Wonder if they remember each other. But it was so long ago, I doubt they would even care.” Meanwhile Edgeworth and Phoenix are undergoing the most insane mental battles where both of them are going “I recognize my best friend across the courtroom and I desperately want to be close with them again.” And “god he is so god damn annoying I wish he would die already.”

#ace attorney #miles edgeworth #Phoenix Wright #not specifically ship so I won’t tag it but kinda ship if you get it #the classmate usually sits in courtroom trials because they love the drama #and honestly they like miles Edgeworth’s cases cause ‘hey I know that guy’ #but of course they don’t like go up and talk to him cause they weren’t really that close and he left kinda abruptly #cause knowing someone for like a year in elementary school and then pestering them about why they left 15 years later is a weird thing to do #course Phoenix comes in and now the classmate now has to deal with the knowledge that the defense and prosecution used to always eat lunch #together and play superhero’s during recess with that really weird kid who was always up to no good #what if one day the classmate was like ‘maybe I should introduce them to each other again. sure that we would all get a laugh or two in and- #-that would be the end of it and they would continue with their lives as normal people. they certainly wouldn’t get super gay and awkward- #-about the whole thing and just be completely chill.’ #god what would happen and Edgeworth v state? #the classmate would probably leave the third day like ‘I am a changed person. I can never go back to not knowing so much about this person.’ #and like they wouldn’t be able to say or do anything cause like??? how do you even have that conversation??? #‘hey I know you don’t remember me but I like sitting in the audience of courtroom trials and I was there for your case and I just want to- #-ask are you good? like honestly do you need someone to talk to?’

Superman: Hey Robin, Batman ask me to pick you up today!

Robin, who has grown up in Gotham, is the son of a constantly targeted billionaire, and has been given the talk thousands of times by thousands of people:

#clark: you know me! im not going to kidnap you #robin: studies say most kidnappings are done by people the victim knows #clark: im a superhero! why would i kidnap you? #robin: sometimes people get desperate and money gets tight. journalism isnt a steady business clark i get why you need the randsom money #also i was trying to figure out which robin this would be and I came to the conclusion that it would be all of them #this same conversation has happened with not only all 5 robins but also with every batkid there is #they are all from gotham and they all had these assemblies every year sometimes more than that plus bruce tells them again every other day #they all see this as a test and they will not fail (plus some of them just find it funny cause it makes clark upset) #batfam #batkids #bat family #incorrect batfamily quotes #batman #robin #dc robin #superman #incorrect batman quotes #bruce wayne #clark kent #dick grayson #jason todd #tim drake #damian wayne #stephanie brown #incorrect superman quotes

everyday i log onto the internet i am forced to fisticuffs combat the halbarry default yaoi allegations. THEY’RE NOT A BASIC BRUNETTE/BLONDE JOCK/NERD DYNAMIC THEY’RE MORE THAN THAT (coping)

#i can’t talk to certain dc fans some of them are too immersed in fan conversation that they lose their fresh perspective #yk krillers doesn’t know anything abt superheroes and actually told me that they thought halbarry were the opposite #bc hal’s got that plane autism and barry is basically a track star #and i think that is far more enlightened than some of the stuff i see in my peripherals #but they can’t be reduced to fanfic tropes like that either way… they are special… TO ME #it’s just wild to me that i’ll see 2013-style yaoi fanart in 2023 #they’re not twinks!!! they’re not twinks and they’re not seme/uke substitutes!!! #i think a good rule of thumb is that most of their dynamic goes both ways #<- not referring to seme/uke but that too ig (does not know which word means what) #but you’ll especially notice this in older vs newer iterations of their relationship #does ‘i won’t let you get lost to the speedforce. don’t let me get lost in the stars’ mean NOTHING to you ?! #they’ve done it all! #older hal used to be the one to reach out and bridge their early friendship while barry was the stick in the mud #and newer hal struggles to adapt to barry’s way of friendship while barry is the one to usually initiate their bonding #also i love hal annoying barry bc that is honest to god his love language #but i never see the reverse in fanworks? #ig bc barry’s way of being annoying is more understated but it’s still pretty egregious #hal is annoying bc he likes attention barry is annoying bc he likes to see hal’s reaction #thank god they have each other so they can (relatively) contain their annoyingness to themselves 💚 #except the pda is rly just shameless. why are they always all over each other in front of the justice league. #i’m not even rly complaining anymore i’m honestly just waxing poetic abt their relationship #they have a sedating quality abt them (when they’re not riling me up in a fit of passion) #halbarry #the flash #green lantern #barry allen #hal jordan #dc #danbles

miles “tails” prowerales !!

#new years drawing i totally didn’t forget about #idea was born from a conversation with my old tablemate about across the spiderverse lmao #tails the fox #miles morales #sth #across the spiderverse #i honestly feel like any knowledge on the spiderman universe is from that one superhero phase i had when i was nine

[theprestigegirly]

i honestly am so incredibly sick of superhero movies like i will not sit through another teen boy magically receive superpowers and face off against a highschool teacher or friends parent

#this is maybe about the blue beetle trailers i saw last month #and also about a conversation i had today in college #but like STOP WITH THE MARVEL MOVIES AND MAKE ROMCOMS #if superhero movies have 1000 haters i’m one of them #if superhero movies have 1 hater that’s me #if superhero movies have no haters i’m dead

[partangel]

does not matter how much people tell me that im this and that. nothing has validated me as having my older coworker who has literally read EVERY book and seen Everything and is just so culturally informed about the world that everytime you talk to her you feel like you know nothing about anything which is both a scary and exciting feeling tell me that she feels that from our workplace we are the closer in tastes and personality. like bro. you did not say that i worship you outside of this bookstore bro. i keep telling my friends youre the most intelligent well read person i know and i hope to be like you one day. cmon.

#i literally arrived at work today and i was like HEYYY HAVE YOU READ ULYSSES i am afraid but very enthusiastically ready to get on that #of course she had. #then i exited the conversation with 3 more books to read asap #and a movie by bunuel #and then she just turnt to me and said #you know what ive been reading. dc. im getting on with the jokers. i dont know what has happened but its been a ride and i am now a #superhero consumer #i love her naturality. #older human you hope to be like one day

[givehimthemedicine]

do you think little Max used to hunker down in her bedroom and try to disappear into comics and music when her parents were fighting? do you think she used to wish she had a big sister or brother to read to her and turn up the music and protect her from what was going on in the other room and make her feel like she wasn't on her own in the world? do you think she used to wish that one of the superheroes from her comics would swoop into her life and take her under their wing?

do you think when she hears she's going to have a new big brother, part of her thinks oh?? it's sorta too late, but still, it could be happening?? but then it's Billy, and he's the opposite of what she wished for, in fact he's the person she has to try her hardest yet to disappear from.

do you think Max thinks she's such a stupid naïve baby for even sort of letting herself daydream that these boys talking about knowing a superhero aren't simply yanking her chain? do you think when Max sees the legendary Eleven come swooping in and save the day with super powers right before her eyes, she thinks oh?? this is it?? do you think she walks up to El starry-eyed thinking, here I am! are you real? are you here for me? where's that wing and when can you start? do you think she's pretty crushed when the real live superhero, for absolutely no reason, acts like she's invisible?

do you think when out of the blue, super girl asks her help with regular ass stuff, she thinks huh? because she may have super powers but she's not a superhero. she's not invincible and charismatic and larger-than-life, she's literally just some girl, in fact, a sorta mousy and endearingly backwards girl who could stand a little taking care of. who instead of a worshipping fan, really just needs a friend. do you think Max thinks it's kind of funny that she's the one taking that girl under her wing instead?

do you think when her new friend is troubled, Max reaches for the same escapes she used to try to comfort herself with - cheers her with bright new music and distracts her with fantastical new characters? do you think when El climbs into her bed and puts her head on her shoulder, Max thinks of herself, eight, nine, wishing not to be alone? do you think Max is so soft to El because she wants to be the shelter for her that she's always ached for herself?

#max mayfield #this is one of my top 3 Feelingsest st scenes I'm pretty sure #but I always think about it from El's position so here's the Max version #el clearly doesn't care about superheroes #I feel like max isn't even that into them #unlike the boys she's never mentioned them in regular conversation (unless i'm forgetting and I could be) #in my personal headcanon they're just an old escape for her #mine #gifs #analysis #character analysis #angst

I think Ben having a harem is based, actually, because (let's be honest) if he were real women would be beating down his front door.

#ben 10 #ben tennyson #source: am woman #ben is pretty much perfect 💕💕 #kind of insane that there isn't an episode/comic about Ben's school having a dance #and Julie getting jealous because NEARLY EVERY GIRL IN THE WHOLE SCHOOL!! is trying to get Ben to go with them #1) he's a literal superhero?? #2) it's been established that he's attractive let's not play by ''subjectivity'' #3) he's HILARIOUS #4) he's such a sweet partner 🥺 #5) if you're shallow he's also famous #not to mention that he's charismatic and kind and has a positive attitude and always bounces back from opposition and he's so humble too and #anyway. Ben's harem is unrealistic because it should be bigger tbh #I also think that the women should be more psychotic but that's a different conversation #it's hard being the most based person in the fandom 😔 it's hard and nobody understands

gwen n miles are actually forced as hell ngl

#Like...y'all had knew each other for like 2 days #Had one conversation #And went your separate ways for a year and a half and are so sprung on each other...for what #There's actually like...no development for them romantically in a realistic way #Im not shown why would miles be hung up on some girl and consistently drawing her when he barely knows her #Or why gwen is suddenly pinning over miles despite only wanting to be friends now she's obsessed over him when she's obvs met and bonded #More with other ppl during her stay at ss vs only knowing miles for a day and having one long convo it makes no sense #I see nothing special and deep about their relationship other than they're the main male and female leads so let's throw them together #With the bare minimum 'development' because ppls standards are so low they'll suck it up anyways and claim it as 'best superhero romance' #Despite it being just as cliche boring and stereotypical as the other superhero romances they claim isn't as good like plz be ffr

[wandaxpietro]

everything goes so slow for pietro i am 100% convinced he's incredibly terminally online to get his dopamine hits. he's so active on twitter people are worried about him. he keeps getting suspended bcuz he keeps sending people death threats and doxxing them and then has to call tony up so he can pay to get his accound back. he shows up in front of houses of people he beefs with. he fights with teenagers online all day. the official avengers twitter account has him blocked.

#tumblr user ill-say-this-fast (ily) said he'd esp get really into discourse concerning wanda and literally #he searches her name up and inserts himself into any conversation he finds #he's deranged #i said this on twitter circle some time ago but fanfic is real in the comics and so is superhero rpf #what i am trying to say is i am 100% convinced he looks up fanfics of himself jdhfghf #reading scarletsilver fic kicking his feet twirling his hair commenting 'quicksilver would not fucking say that' but bookmarking anyway. et #he keeps dropping social media lingo and wanda never has any clue what he's talking about so she just smiles and nods #she's so nice and thinks of him so highly so mostly she assumes it's words from poetry he's read but actually his brain is just rotted #he gets pissed bcuz a teenager online he was fighting with called him 'old' at least once a day #etc. #luna is social media age now (14 ish) but she's only on instagram where he's not this bad so she isn't confronted with it. luckily #lorna thinks his twitter activities are SO funny though #magneto isn't quite sure how to use a computer (< joking... mostly) so he's not on twitter #but lorna keeps him updated on their daily tea sessions bcuz she thinks it's hilarious. magneto is very tired #ok i need to stop. i just have a lot of thoughts about pietro twitter okay. #we got that one glimpse in damage control where he tagged them to complain about an employee sgzdugdh he's just like that all the time #txt

[starvinginbelair]

as a criminology student, i would honestly love to read an comics arc about the role of the police in vigilantism because i just think it's under-discussed for such a nuanced and complex topic.

#marvel comics #dc comics #honestly i just may not have read it yet #i'm pretty new still to comics and am only just working my way through some of the really important runs and events #not trying to defend the police here btw just like #i find it so interesting that although the point of vigilantism is to go AGAINST the police system #so many heroes still work closely with the police and trust somewhat in the way they're doing things #maybe it's more of an ongoing point of conversation that can't be explored in just a 'run' or smth #but i don't think it's really talked about enough nowadays #it's why i'm really excited for the upcoming 'absolute power' stuff from dc even though everyone seems to dislike waller #like it's a government entity getting involved in superheroism and inherently blurring the lines between what's good and what's bad #and talking about HOW to deal with crime and whether or not the superhero way is the right way or not #i like that it's bringing up these important topics #hot take but i definitely think if they brought back a character in the mythos that worked within the system #they could have an even better conversation about all of this #i def need to like take a look through the '90s/'00s nightwing runs again #but i think officer dick grayson was a good idea with just horrible execution #it was very much like 'you CAN fix corruption if you just get the right individuals in there' #which i definitely do not think is true #but the idea of having someone who has seen the system from the outside being put into the fold #and realizing that there's so much about the system that we DO NOT KNOW ABOUT #and dealing with the moral dilemmas of being in an occupation filled with oxymorons #and trying to figure out if they can handle this type of life #i think it would be at the very least good for character development #anyways #that's my rant #q speaks

[spacepunksupreme]

It’s funny to me the way some people have no perception of “art” as anything other than like realistic oil paintings or whatever. Sometimes I tell people I’m an illustrator then when I specify that I make comics they get super confused until I am forced to use the explanation “like Superman” and then they go ohhhhh, people do that?? Lmao

#thinking about this because I saw some family members earlier this month that I havnt seen in a fee years and in the middle of a #conversation realized that while they know Im ‘an artist’ they have absolutley no idea what I actually do. one of them started talking to #me about like traditional portrait painting as if I do that and then when I started talking about comics ive worked on one of them #got super confused and thought I was talking about comics as in stand up comedy lmaoo #the conversation didnt even reach a point where I could explain that non-superhero comic books exist because they were still confused by #the time we got to the superhero explaination lol #hannah is talking

[icedteaandoldlace]

Bestie has been all excited about introducing me to her new boyfriend because we're both big Flash fans. We finally got to have the long awaited talk she was hoping we would have, but it was a lot shorter than expected because as it turns out, he's a Flash comics fan who's only seen the first season of the TV show, and I'm a Flash TV show fan who's never read any of the comics.

#me: “yeah I've never read any of the Flash comics. but I have been considering starting the Vibe comics.” #him: “the what?” #me internally: oh dear god. that's right he wouldn't know who that is. #me: “so you know Cisco? that's his superhero name.” #him: “OH okay!” #😂 #I mean it was still a nice little chat #but bestie is considering starting the show now and if she does #I need her to tell him all about Flashpoint #just for my own entertainment #because I know it's waaaaaaayyyy different from the comics and I want to witness that conversation #or hear about it afterwards at least 😂 #The Flash

Damian: I will fight you, Brown.

Steph: I'll win!

Damian: .... I will allow you to believe that.

Team Red as things me and my friends have said

(the saga continues)

-

Wade: Okay. The decision has been made... I'm not going to swear anymore.

Matt, mockingly: i'M nOt gOiNg tO sWeAr aNyMorE.

Wade: Well firstly, fuck you-

-

Peter: Did you know that the symbol on Superman's chest isn't an S? It actually stands for hope.

Matt: What??

Peter: Yeah! It's his family's symbol and it means hope. Since he's an alien and-

Matt: Wait. Superman is an alien? ...I thought he was human?

Peter: ...wHAT?

Matt: Yeah. Is he not just some guy with powers?

Peter: SOME GUY WITH-

-

Wade and Peter joking around: Batman got hit by a bat, that's how he has superpowers.

Matt: I thought he got bit by a bat?

Wade, wheezing: W h a t ?

Matt: Yeah, there was a video of this man in a cave-

*More wheezing*

Matt: And then bats came swooping down-

*Still wheezing*

Matt: and they bit him and that's how he got powers.

Peter: That's... I think that's the Morbius trailer.

Wade: You thought Morbius was Batman.

Peter: Morbius? Who's Morbius?

Peter and Wade: Ohmygod. We love you, but oh my god.

#the last two exist in a world where superheroes arent real #also matt is just fucking with them #they're all superhero geeks #it was hard to choose one of them to be the clueless one #but i NEEDED to share this conversation #because MORBIUS and BATMAN folks #morbius #batman #wade wilson #peter parker #matt murdock #team red #red's incorrect quotes

once you see the single nancy vision you really can't unsee it

#single nancy truther 4 life #since as we all know i hate st4ncy right after volume 2 i was like. this makes me want to go back to being really into j4ncy just out of #spite but i couldn't do it because i don't...actually care about j4ncy anymore and i haven't in years #but nancy not ending up with either of them makes so much sense narratively for all three of them and it's half as plot twisty as byler #since stoncy's the more publicized love triangle and is seen as left open-ended by the ga while willelmike...isn't #which is fun. nancy ending up single being unexpected #and something that's really funny is that people who are rooting for j4ncy are like 'well they'll just have a conversation in which #jonathan tells her the truth and then well they'll figure out. emerson or lenora or long distance they'll make it work' even though that #could be said about mlvn too and that's what mlvns expect i mean it's possible...technically...el's like oh that's not my painting btw and #mike says oh that's fine and el says i don't like that you see me as your superhero and mike's like oh don't worry i don't. and then #they end up together like😭 but we don't expect that to happen because there's this elaborate plot line #+ you could lowkey also say they built them up for two seasons only to break them down because they spent season 3 fighting and then well #Fighting (and i dont like how they made up. but thats personal. maybe) and in season 4 he was lying to her and she was ogling her ex..kinda #and i mean it's not like i have a vendetta against them like i do mlvn and st4ncy i'm just saying #and like i say: brf slt
