I actually think this Dark Knights of Steel twist-reveal with Alfred as martian manhunter was a really fascinating one (I genuinely loved it).
An Elseworlds continuity which really took advantage of being able to take different interpretations of a character, by the writer of the Nightwing series where the presence of Alfred is felt throughout, despite his pre-series death
Here we have him as the last survivor of a genocide, who lost absolutely everything. Felt he failed in the worst possible way, as his fatally wounded child died in his arms - unable to even offer him any comfort, with both being telepaths.
He flees a dead world. Gets to try again. Martha and Thomas Wayne know what he is, but conceal the secret. Have him as one of their most trusted retainers, friends.
He gets to try again.
A smile on his face, he gets to see another boy grow.
Even as Martha and Thomas are murdered, he stays with their son, looking after him no matter what. Having faith in him. Loving him. To the point where a man who had his adored son brutally murdered in the dark, able to do nothing but watch him die, looks at this orphaned alien child and says -
-as he holds the lasso of truth.
It adds an additional, really interesting factor to the paternal relationship he has with Bruce in this particular setting. I wish we got to see more of it. Perhaps if they ever do more "Tales of the Kingdom", we may get to see it in a prologue manner.
IDK MAN BUT THEY RECAST SAMANTHA IN “HER” AT THE LAST MINUTE AND GOT SCARLETT JOHANSSON TO REDUB THE WHOLE THING SO LIKE MAYBE CHARLES MARTINET CAN STILL BE MARIO PLEASE
thinking about how teruhashi is so used to being stalked that she can expertly determine when the newspaper club people are following her and she even somewhat notices saiki and nobody realizes that it's not only a blessing for everyone to worship her. she desperately latches onto saiki because he's the only one who sees her as a human being and doesn't put her on a pedestal. sure, he's irritated by her, but he sees her humanity and that's all that she craves. she's been so aggressively deified and suffers a lot, both under the pressure that comes with maintaining her image and under the sexual harassment she navigates every day. sure, she gets what she wants, but does she really care about all that? she's the happiest when she finds saiki and the others and they treat her like a human being. all she wants is to be treated like a normal person, and that makes her such a huge parallel to saiki, and they're both saved by the friend group.
Is the Avatar fandom aware Nattikay, who mostly draws the Neytiri-Sully family, is a known "anti-sjw" Homophobic Prolife (etc gross) Christian in other fandoms?
This artist:
In other fandoms like Trollhunters she's also like, whitewashing Claire. A latina character whose already pale... Generally, she's a bad influence. Idk download her art if you like it but don't give her clout by sharing.
Ds9 is like “Jake and Nog experience the horrors of war and the loss of innocence” and follow it up with “Quark’s drag persona saves feminism on Ferenginar”
If they hadn’t killed off Bruce in “Kill the Justice League”, we just know that in the epilogue his response to finding out that Ivy is a traumatised, violent, orphan child -
-would have been this:
And I will be surprised tbh if the fandom does not end up making AU batfam content to this effect.
Thinking about how Barr’s last moments were him using the last of his strength to save his family, and seeing his granddaughter.
Thinking about how Marko’s last moments were spent thinking about a beautiful moment he shared with his daughter and telling her he doesn’t care what she does as long as she’s kind.
