the fact that the majority of the jason todd hate is the fault of one man

jim starlin hated robin as a concept, actively ignored the editor, denny o'neil, when he repeatedly asked him to include robin, when he did include jason, he wrote him as a disobedient and arrogant asshole

people didn't like him before, but that was a relatively small group who were mad he replaced dick. starlin changed that and made people despise him so he could rid batman of a robin

if you had any doubts, here's it in his own words:

"I always thought Robin was a ridiculous character. The whole idea of fighting crime while you're wearing the black and gray and hiding in the shadows, then having a teenager go out to fight criminals with you, dressed in primary colors- for me, that went beyond child endangerment to child abuse.

As a result, I was always trying to avoid using Jason Todd. If you look at my standalone Batman stories, he was not in any of my early ones. I knew that he wasn't a popular character, and I didn't know anything else about him. Jason Todd wasn't anybody I was looking to write, or had any interest in whatsoever."

#luckily it didn't work bc a year later we got tim #like how can you write batman and not understand how important robin is to his character #i just- #jason todd #red hood #batman #dc #dc robin #robin #comics #dc comics #my source is that big ass batman history book #the definitive history of the dark knight in comics film and beyond #that one #it's a really good book btw

Holy shit this movie got REAL dark REAL fast

#Luffy watching all of his nakama die is uh. Brutal actually!!!! #Also I know they went in reverse order of when he met them (besides Chopper who went first) #But the fact that Zoro was absorbed last and Luffy was SCREAMING his name 😭 #Deadass have not seen Luffy that desperate and absolutely fucking DEVASTATED like ever #Except for maybe when Usopp left the crew. But ANYWAY #My poor boy…… #And the fact that he was so despondent. And quiet. And just utterly defeated #‘It’s my fault’ BABY NO!!!!! NOOOOOO!!!! #Homeboy’s gonna have nightmares about this for a hot second! Yep!! #One Piece #Shima speaks #Okay coming into this I was just here for the animation but this movie is like. GENUINELY really good #It’s not Film Red (nothing could ever be) but HOT damn. Fuck

like I like to criticise stuff as much as the next bitch but sometimes I just see a billion tweets and posts like HERE'S REASON 10000 WHY THIS FILM/SHOW/PERSON IS THE WORST THING EVER and I'm just like. god. you're all so fucking tedious.

#for some reason Twitter thinks a) i want it to keep refollowing the topic of Taika Waititi #and b) i want to see endless tweets from people who either love OMFD in the Wrong Way That I Hate or #people who have decided since he got popular he's the new Worst Thing To Ever Happen To Film Ever #much of his stuff is good some of his stuff is mediocre he's done some things and holds some opinions i think are shitty #but jesus christ i just do not want to wake up every morning to TAIKA IS GOD NO ACTUALLY TAIKA IS THE DEVIL #boy made me cry wilderpeople made me bawl. wwdits and omfd are fun fluff. i liked ragnarok. love and thunder was ok but a bit hollow. #really liked jojo rabbit although i understand why some people had major reservations #red said

[ID: the “touching grass is not enough” meme of text over a flowery field that has been edited to read “touching grass is not enough, i need an update about the edge of sleep tv series.” end ID]

#the edge of sleep #teos #literally ive only listened to the first three episodes bc i struggle to find an excuse to listen to an audio drama #i dont really listen to podcasts. i turned on distractible while i was cleaning my aunts house cause it was good to have as background noise #but teos is a work of fiction it's a thriller/mystery/horror story that i want to give my undivided attention #and thats hard to do because my brain Refuses to stay on track if listening is all i'm doing #when i was into bmc i had to be reading the script while i listened to the audio bootleg or i wouldnt fucken stay concentrated #i only listened to it initially during a shift w a disability support worker bc we were driving and we had fuckall else to do #but 1. i dont always have the same worker and it feels rude to keep listening to a story halfway through with no context for them #and 2. from my understanding shit gets decidedly fucked up from ep 4 onward so its probably super not appropriate to listen to #in somebody elses fucking car #but i wanna finish it SO BAD i wanna be able to pour through the teos tag and talk about it with other people without getting spoiled #ive gotten spoiled on a Lotta shit just from reading the tvtropes page #auauufah im so torn between figuring out how to listen to it as a podcast or waiting for more info on the tv show #fellow autistic people do you ever do that thing where ur special interest is always some form of media but its prone to changing #so like every few months youre defined by a new fucking show or game or film or whatever #but Every So Often when ur between big interests u have a very short-lived (hours/days/week or two) but INTENSE obsession w something niche #yeah its like that #my brain is that little ms paint creature thing on all fours with pointy teeth and red eyes biting something in its mouth savagely #and the something is teos #internal monologue

Do you think these 4 people know that at this point I've pack bonded with them and would kill and die for them if they asked

#Every day I refresh my tabs and every day I scream internally #Right now I'm betting on us either getting a trailer for the new episodes or a movie/game with It as the main draw OR #Or we are getting a first look at the new opening #I don't know what else could be a special announcement because I would think premiering an episode early would be a mess schedule-wise #So a trailer for a movie/game/the next few episodes would make sense #But also the new opening has been in the works for months at this point. So this would be the perfect time to show it #Cruddy rambles #I'm trying to maintain my expectations to 'I will be disappointed if I expect the best scenario' #But also being realistic in what this special announcement is and what they're gonna show #I really think it will be a trailer or the new opening. I think that'd be perfect while not showing the full episode it'd still build hype #And just show people what they're there to see and what they're promoting (G5) #Like come on don't tell me we wouldn't all lose our minds over a teaser trailer featuring G5 showing us it fully animated for the first time #Because in Film Red we just got static G5 Luffy. Which was dope BUT I want to see how he's gonna move. #And even if it isn't relating to the upcoming episodes seeing a game/movie get announced with G5 as the main draw would be so fucking hype #I loved film red don't get me wrong but I think they're gonna announce another movie soon #And what perfect time to do it!! G5 is gonna be in the anime soon so a whole movie based on rubberhose antics would be so fucking fun #And hey I'm in the minority here but I do love the one piece games despite them being super simplistic #And I would kill for a game where you can play as Nika. I would KILL FOR IT #I will say tho my worst fear is what G5 will have CGI components #They've been using them a LOT in Wano and it's so obvious every time and well 🤢 they don't look good... #It's too smooth and obvious and sure that *could* lend to the whole unnatural rubberman vibe Nika gives off but like... #You have a whole genre of non-CGI animation to be inspired by!!!! If they forgo rubberhose and make it even partly CG I *will* cry

It's OPLA Day! Get ready for the internet to be even more obnoxious than it already is about what might end up being one of the few good live-action adaptations of anime, let alone out of many of the cartoon-to-live-action adaptations that have happened over the past 15 years even though the anime was already an adaptation, but i digress.

I, however, won't be extra-obnoxious until at least Monday, since that's when things align so I can watch it. Anything involving it (at least at first) is going to be tagged with OPLA as well as One Piece, so use that tag blocker if you gotta.

#in other news: I got the fiancé through Arlong Park and he doesn't seem to want to slow down so good news we're going to continue watching #bad news is that it means that I'm sitting there wanting to metadump on him and I can't #the show keeps mentioning Sanji's humanity and Mihawk keeps popping up AND I NEED HIM TO KNOW HOW ZORO MEETS HIM AGAIN #but i can't not yet bc if I got to learn about that on my own so does he as much as possible #like... he's watched Films Strong World and Z and Gold and Red so he... you know... knows things #and I just explained Fish-man genetics and that we haven't seen the last of the abject racism #he mentioned how there's probably someone who would want to eat Fish-men and I had to stop myself after saying it'd be really expensive #bc let's be real here: Celestial Dragons would. some of them anyhow #and I keep stating that 'Sanji is not normal'... so yeah. it's a wild ride so far #...ah shit warship island is coming up FILLER AHOY #about me

Ngl, not very positive on the costumes of Red and her mom in the photos we got but....eh, can’t do worse then Cinderella’s dress. 

#like the wonderland vibes are kinda there in the photos???? #kinda weird they both got red hair #since animated queen of hearts has black hair #its only live action queen of hearts has red hair #but we know from merlin academy they yeeted the animated films lore out the windows ages ago #alongside descendants remains of contunity and lore #really its just cindy whose got the bad outfits so far #please one decent dress for her at least #and please dear god let red be a good lead in comparison to mal #like we aware we stuck with red #make her better written then mal at least

and now for my monthly one piece post because i followed up on what was happening in the newest chapters *checks notes* the kuma-bonney reveal is dumb

#sara's not watching the one about pirates #like bottom of my heart i didn't need that info i didn't need that connection #and for some reason following the release of one piece film red i see a trend #not like you know a good trend just a really goofy one #really glad we were spared every iota of a detail about eustass kid when he was around #absolutely love not knowing shit about him makes him my favorite character

a quick update on sanji and zoro from the film red pieces

zoro has his ink and color done (the ink took forever with the swords) and sanji also has his basic shading

#op #one piece #one piece fanart #one piece art #roronoa zoro #vinsmoke sanji #op film red #film red #i can't believe i actually like these outfits now #no shade but the official art really walks the line to atrocious #but the outfits have potential #look at sanji he looks good #shoutout to him he's like my third sanji ever #my art

well now i want a cheap film camera wtf

#Few weeks back I went out with friends and they kept taking pictures with some heavy Snapchat filter #Obviously i didn't criticize it or anything and I did end up convincing them to take a bunch of 'natural' ones #Even tho modern day smartphone already has like these dumb skin smoothing filters set by default so it was probably on as well #But still like... Idk I kept thinking about it #This is also the reason why I take so many pictures with a heavy zoom in lol I just love how it feels low res and not in a shitty way #I wanted a phone with good camera for so long and now I crave the blurriness and softness and grainy film and red eye effect #How stupid!!!! I do really want a film camera tho. #Instant cameras like instax and other likes of Polaroid are too expensive tho #Well the camera itself is affordable. But then the film........ #maurycy talks

[thedreadvampy]

btw obviously talking pure shite about the Corinthian thing but among the many things that makes me not want to watch the show. why ISN'T it a 90s period piece?

like honestly it's the same as with Good Omens being modernised for TV. Good Omens is EXTREMELY rooted in the specific cultural context of the end of the millennium. I just don't think it made sense to set it in the 2020s.

but so much of the plot and aesthetic of Sandman is so very of its time. the experience and ideologies of the feminist characters, the queer characters, the alt characters. the aesthetic of wealth and power. honestly the entirety of Rose and her brother's storyline is so rooted in the serial killer and stranger danger and suburban terror of crime in the 90s and I know that the serial killer obsession has come back around but it's a very 90s flavour of paranoia. like obviously a lot of the series is timeless but at the same time the main plot IS very rooted in time, especially Dolls House and A Game Of You, and it definitely can be modernised more readily than Good Omens but like. why would you. when the aesthetic of the comics is a) deeply rooted in the alt culture of the early 90s and b) fucking iconic. like the original run of Sandman finished the year I was born and despite not having been a goth in the 80s or 90s on account of being an Infant, the 80s-90sness of my style is so so so part of how I put my adult self together and What's Wrong With That?

and there's a lot of sticking points tbh. mostly again I'm thinking of the comic's handling of transphobia and homophobia. which I am concerned that this adaptation is going to address by "modernising" it out of the picture, instead of talking about it. which like. this is a different reservation I guess bc it's true whether it's a period piece or a modernisation. but. I am very concerned that under the guise of modernising it this is going to lose an awfully lot of its crunch.

and ymmv bc I know a lot of people take very deep issue with how the comics handle queer themes and I think a lot of that criticism is fair. but I also think that as a queer and traumatised kid the thing that made Sandman so deeply resonant and meaningful for me was that it was ok with getting messy. like it had a lot to say about homophobia, abuse of all kinds, lateral aggression, and it spends I would say almost all its Real World Main Plot Timeline being very interested in the nuance and moral greys and self- and laterally-inflicted harms among queer people. like it involves a lot of stories about abusive or unbalanced queer relationships whether it's with Alex Burgess or Judy and Foxglove (then Foxglove and Hazel) or the Corinthian. and it also wants to spend a lot of its time tangling with the support but also the spite and ignorance of specifically small queer communities (I think that Doll's House is more interested in depicting queer community as an oasis in the dangerous world of heteronormativity covering up violence. whereas A Game Of You is much more about lateral harm - everybody in that book except possibly Barbie is some flavour of queer, and maliciously (Thessaly) or through ignorance (Hazel and Barbie) or through anger (Foxglove) they are frequently spiteful, bigoted and unpleasant to each other, but Barbie, Wanda, Hazel and Foxglove still draw strength from each other's presence and care. and that rings very true to me of queer communities.

(for the record. my (cis) reading of A Game Of You has always been that it's a fairly direct condemnation of people like Thessaly. she's posed as being cruel and self-serving and ready to throw other women under the bus for her own benefit, and I always assumed we were meant to read her calling Wanda a man as part of that, and that that was the point. that Thessaly is in the book to make a point about TERF/separatist thinking. idk whether that's the intended reading or whether it's an appropriate thing for Neil Gaiman as a cishet man to be cracking into, but it's how it read to me as a 11 year old in 2004 who hadn't yet heard of TERFs or really had any idea about trans women, and i find it hard to take away a reading where we're meant to agree with Thessaly given the way Wanda is framed and the way Thessaly is framed throughout the story. I think there's more complicated stuff to unpick around like. whether Wanda's in the story to suffer and die for the Nice Cis Lady but I really have not ever got why depicting transphobia in this context has been so frequently read as endorsing it.)

like. The thing that makes Sandman deeply important to so many people is that it's messy and uncomfortable. it is. mostly interested in painful questions without answers. it's interested in power, rape, abuse (parental, familial, intimate partner, social, sexual, physical and emotional), homophobia and transphobia, CSA, bigotry, grief, trauma, madness, suicidality, addiction, etc. like. Almost everything in Sandman is focused around people and experiences that are hard to talk about and treated as scary or invisible and that's the point.

and to me again as a queer kid going through trauma and violence and abuse. that's what drew me to it. it's a really visceral read for me bc I think while I don't always agree with how it approaches every topic, it doesn't shy away from engaging with the actual messiness and complexity and no-right-answerness of those marginal experiences. it would not work as well if it was too afraid to say things that might have bad interpretations. and that was what made it matter for me, especially when it comes to queerness and disability and survivorhood (ie things I've experienced) - like it always felt like it had enough trust in its characters and audiences to let marginalised characters be fully fucked up and flawed and experience and inflict unjustifiable things. queer and marginalised characters in Sandman are, in my opinion, relatively unusual in that a) they're everywhere in the text and very internally diverse, there isn't a sense of Here's Our Gay Character Who Represents Gays, and b) they're neither utter villains Because They're Gay (/addicts/mentally ill/disabled/whatever) or Sad Objects Of Pity. they're given space to be extremely flawed and extremely sympathetic Whole People Who Fuck Up.

and my worry is. especially given how a lot of mainstream discourse is around representation and Problematic Media. but also tbh given how increasingly anodyne and pandery I think a lot of Neil Gaiman's output has been getting in this ourouboros stage of his career. I am almost certain that the Netflix Sandman series is going to sand a lot of the crunchy sharp edges off the story. I do not think we're going to see the willingness to make the audience uncomfortable and uneasy (and I'm not talking about the horror elements, but the human ones) and I think that's. honestly totally understandable from a production standpoint bc I think there are things in Sandman that would cause huge backlash if you screen them today. I also. think. that the story would be worse without them.

(none of this matters bc I'm not going to watch the show. why would I do that to myself I KNOW I will not enjoy it even if it's great, bc the comics are embedded somewhere 2 inches from my heart and I'm not. interested in What If That But TV. I can just read the comics again.)

#red said #honestly the only Gaiman adaptations I've really liked are ones where I'm ambivalent to the original #i thought the Starz American Gods was really good but then i thought the book was a lot of good ideas but strung together #into an almost incoherently rambling brick #like i have read American Gods i think three? times and I could not for the life of me tell you the progression of events #every time i read it i leave with snapshots #i loved the film of Stardust. the book is. fine. #i think the exception is Coraline but while i really like both the book and the film #i didn't read/watch either of them until i was like 18 and i think my contact was in pretty quick succession #i also like neverwhere but that doesn't count bc technically the book is an adaptation of the TV show not the other way around #honestly i think. (also bc Mirrormask s one of my all time top films). that i only like Gaiman's screen work when it's original. #really like the janky Neverwhere series. LOVE mirrormask. the Doctor's Wife is about the only good 10th doctor episode #i do not think based on Good Omens and what I've seen for Sandman #that Neil Gaiman produced adaptations of Neil Gaiman classics are a good thing
