#storytelling style/characterization/general premise slides off my brain

[vermillioncrown]

JLI sans B to the best of my knowledge: Martian Manhunter p much the DCAU version but with a Crippling Oreo addiction, Fire: ??? Lesbian Brazilian ??? Ice: Died once dated Guy ??? Scott Free: Master Escape Artist Malewife, Big Barda: Ngozi is doing a comic on her Stoic Warrio badass from a Divine Dystopia, Guy Gardner: Considered the Asshole GL had brain damage that affected his personality Batman knocked him out with 1 punch (pt1)

JLI knowledge (pt2): Booster Gold: had a good JLU episode, Jock to Janitor pipeline, stole stuff out of fancy future museum to be a superhero for the $$ fame, had to keep up the act as a gloryhound does barely anything to keep from getting Terminated ⏰, time management, shipped with Blue Beetle II, Blue Beetle II: Ted Kord dated Barbra Gordon once, had a heart attack that kept him off the playing field the BB movie called him "Batman with ADHD", has asshole uncle, studied under BB I.

(mashed your asks together, anon)

my idea of the justice league is from the animated series + peripheral new earth/modern stuff, so ofc i know there are discrepancies between media + from general hubbub most comic knowers aren't too keen on animated series only ppl so 🤷‍♂️

^but hot fucking damn why do any of these people talk to each other, this is like "you're all stuck together bc no one wants to deal with you, now go eat each other's faces off"

(i'm both curious and not really bc there is a lot of source media and i'm only one person...i also love seeing a writer's mental convolutions to connect pieces up to a point, and that point is very arbitrary and mutable)

one of the ppl i follow has subjected me to... "boostle" yes? i know of it. booster gold without his boyfriend looks like someone i want to smother w a pillow, i think what you've said of his arc is interesting but again. i need to fight the smother response

batman w adhd poor dude. sorry for his affliction, bat brain sucks.

(no lol i've read some summaries of ted kord and again. my ???? w a lot of big comic stuff is "everyone is the most special pretty princess, we can't all be the most specialist prettiest princesses)

(no my biggest fucking beef is so many of them are self-taught genii that is perfect at all physical skills and expert whatevers just go. flip into the sun. it bores me. very 'grown dudes never outgrowing playing pretend in preschool' type of writing)

i'll leave a link to this post and think this covers the vibe of how i want to play it lmao

#inquiry #Anonymous #dc shitposting #on tpac #i understand approximate knowledge of canon is a huge turn off for loads of ppl #but i'm being honest and neutral about the state of affairs #hmm as a meta it's pretty interesting that comics and superheroes don't land that well w me and it might be a cultural thing? #as in i was pretty isolated from American Culture™ growing up despite being born here and comic heroes are very American #storytelling style/characterization/general premise slides off my brain #some bits can get me to latch on (i.e. the fucked up interpersonal bat relations) (making fun of batman's gadgets) #it's just rough. once i have more free time i'm hoping to find a couple of... hm #they are called ''runs''? find a couple that catch my eye and read. see the hype #and fond memories of the cartoons bc there's a good balance of the mythologizing vs logical fallout of heroing
