In my opinion if you’re making a “dark, realistic superhero” work, you should always hold some kind of love for the superhero genre, and if you don’t there is no reason to make it. You’re not going to enjoy your characters or have fun twisting the tropes. You’re just gonna have a bad time writing and make something that nobody enjoys.

*cough* The Boys comic *cough*

#aaronymous ramblings #superheroes #superhero #comic #comics #also i havent read watchmen yet but in one of the summaries i watched #i did enjoy how two characters just. #recognize being superheroes isnt very helpful or great but that its dangerous and fun and its okay to have fun #like a lot of superhero fiction isnt meant to be taken seriously and its just lighthearted fun and thats awesome #I do really like The Boys show though by the way #Also the only other one of this genre I’ve seen is Invincible and it’s good but tbh kinda overrated #and I havent read the comics but it doesnt even feel like a critique its more just what if superman was an evil space facist #and thats cool i just really dont think it should be lumped in with Watchmen or The Boys #but that might just be me

The weird thing about atla fans and zuko is that despite him having a solid redemption arc that's widely believed to be, like, The Best redemption arc, they feel the need to justify the actions that led him to Needing A Redemption Arc. If I have to read one more person saying even as a joke that any of the shit he did was remotely okay I'm going to start killing

#atla #i actually think his morality is a lot messier than some of yall want it to be. hes not a great person by the end of the show #but we accept that bc hes clearly going to keep getting better. its a start. #i havent read the comics and i dont care about them dont tell me about that. im deciding what happens post canon

[milfygerard]

there was a weird phase for awhile on this site where everyone pretended that gerard was like a shitty mid tier comic writer and like. You guys dont read enough comics. you dont know what bad comics look like.

#barry.txt #of course im wildly generalizing people are allowed to not like gerards comics #but some of it felt like grandstanding and it completely drowned out and kind of killed any interest ppl had in actually discussing them #either as art connected to mcr or totally seperately #and then that fucking show happened. #like the opposite of the doom patrol adaptation. Dragged down every character and fandomized them #so the fandom didnt have to try and do it themselves #stripped it of its satire and creativity. I liked s2 well enough but it bungled the dallas arc and it sounds like #s3 was even worse. which is INSANE bc hotel oblivion is some of gerards best work in comics #bc like. tua is a comic fans comic. in tone and structure and art. Like i enjoy it way more now that ive put a lot of #time into learning and reading more classic AND contemporary comics. Now i see what gerard is pulling from #what hes mocking or homaging. The kirby-esque coloring in hotobv when spaceboy and diego are in the Not Starship Enterprise #augh #anyway i have more to say but i need to check out a book and go groccery shoppjng ive been loitering in the library for like an hour #which is so funny bc i didnt even get to my actual point which is some of you havent read a lot of bad or mediocre comics #you didnt read the kupperburg doom patrol run before grant took over. ive seen things

#accidentally slept through my only class today #which whoops sorry. (my 9am english) #which kind of killed step 1 of a plan of mine but thats okay #anyways THEN i had to go downtown to pick up this award bc i forgot to show up to the ceremony like a dumb dumb #but the building was like a 25 minute walk and it was COLD (punishment for my dumb dumbness tbh) but anyways i got there early so i walked #around the block and then went inside and picked up my medal #and i was already far downtown so then i popped my head in a couple of stores as i slowly walked back #got a few things from target. new hair clip nail polish m&ms pens and then a mango. very excited to eat that either later today or tomorrow #then i popped in the calligraphy store and then the comic shop and looked around. saw some white ribbon in the calligraphy store which ive #been looking for but didnt get it because it was a bit wide and kind of expensive and i want a lot for my project idea #(want to write out some of my favorite poems on them in sharpie and then use it to accessorize) #and then i went to the comic shop and peeked around. saw a nubia issue and a few gl 2021s in the discount bin but i didnt get them bc #they were all middle issues and i havent read those books yet although i do want to someday bc my guys were in them. one of the gl 21s even #had simon on the cover so i was very !!!!!!!! thats my guy!!!!! #didnt buy anything there but i did ask the guy to make sure to order a copy of the spirit world tpb so ill stop by to get that in a few wks #and then i went to the bookstore cafe and got a cold brew and did a but of English there. they have tables in the stacks its nice. the one i #grabbed was just surrounded by old paperbacks of sci fi and thrillers lol. didnt see anything id read but recognized a few author names like #card (no enders game though) and the pern lady (idk her name i havent read it). anyways did half a blog post thats technically late (ill #backdate though dw) and then packed up and i grabbed a gyro from the halal cart on that block which i just finished back at my dorm <3333 #anyways good times. now im gonna try and spam some work and go to freaking trivia team for the first time in a month later. oops #blah #oh and i think the halal cart guy may have given me a free soda. unsure abt that though bc its possible it came with and i was just being #silly again. so anyways i had a ginger ale too

ok so. Dream gets out of the fishbowl and he goes about getting his tools back. that whole time though, he neglects himself and bottles up a bunch of emotions and everything, he spends no time thinking about what has happened. so when he finally gets a moment to himself to just feel everything comes crashing down and he's overwhelmed with Despair.

Dream locks himself within his own quarters in the palace, visited only by his sibling Despair. Her presence only makes his spiral worse, until finally she takes him, welcomes Dream into her own realm where now he's essentially trapped himself. The Dreaming reacts almost immediately to the absence of Dream, thunderstorms ravaging the lands. Lucienne and Matthew are helpless in finding their King because they cannot truly sense his whereabouts, just his absence from the Dreaming. So they summon Dream's closest sibling, Death, and request her help in finding the dream lord. She agrees in helping to find him, but says that she can't promise her help in bringing him back because of old laws or some shit idk.

so they eventually track Dream to Despair's realm. Death cannot open or enter the realm on her own, Lucienne cannot leave the Dreaming, Matthew doesn't have hands, so they turn to the human immortal Dream had been meeting with for the last few centuries, Robert Gadling. With the company of Hob, Death can also enter Despair's realm. It's a struggle for Hob in Despair's realm. He keeps being prompted with memories that make his heart ache, or make him hate himself, but he pushes through because he's not there for himself, rather for his friend. 

Hob and Death eventually find a door, it's got stars dancing on it, like the galaxy was imprinted on a piece of wood. It's obvious that this is the door that keeps them from Dream. Death tries to turn the handle of the door but it burns her, it may scar an endless if they were to try to open it. but Hob isn't an endless and he can't die, so he grabs the door handle and turns it, bearing through the searing pain to open the door. Despite the pain, no scar is left and they look inside. (might workshop that idea dunno. i just kinda like the idea of hob opening the door <3).

Inside it is nearly pitch black. stars twinkle everywhere and there is the faint outline of a pond and a figure on a bench next to it. It's Dream. Death calls out for her brother and the figure turns towards them, starlit eyes shining brighter than the other stars. Dream recognizes Death and in an instant, the surroundings change to a moderately lit bedroom. Dream is curled up at the headboard, tears shine in his eyes and on his cheeks. "Death." he croaks "have you finally come to take me to the sunless lands, my sister?" Death  looks stricken at the realization that Dream thinks or wants for the end of his existence. 

Then Dream notices Hob standing just to the side of Death and the scene suddenly shifts once again. They're now in a basement of sorts. There is a large glass globe in the middle with Dream trapped inside. He's naked and pressing himself away from where Death and Hob stand and Death realizes that this is where Dream was trapped for a century. Dream sobs and yells for Hob to leave while he can . that he doesn't want to lose anyone else. and now Death's attention is drawn to a blood spatter on the outside of the globe closest to where they stand and below where there is the corpse of a raven, one with white markings. This must be Jessamy, the raven that Matthew replaced. 

Dream is so lost in his own despair that he can't see that this isn't real now. Death tells Hob this much and he approaches the glass globe where Dream is suspended in the air. Dream's noises of desperation and terror become more and more as Hob moves closer. Hob lays his hand on the glass finally and encourages Dream to mirror him. He reminds Dream several times that he's immortal. Hob Gadling can't die and he won't start now. Dream finally lays his hand against the glass where Hob's is and the scene changes back to the bedroom. Dream is now wearing a black t-shirt and black pants and his cold hand is pressed against Hob's. Tears still fall down his cheeks, but Hob's reassurance brings Dream out of his spiral a little bit. Enough so that Hob and Death can pull Dream from Despair's realm and back into the Dreaming. His time away from the Dreaming and in Despair's realm translates into somewhat of an illness when Dream returns to the Dreaming because he's been neglecting himself or something. this he's bedridden for a time (he tries to get up once but gets a stern talking to by everyone).

During his time of recovery, he has someone by his side at all times. It switches between Lucienne, Matthew, Death, and Hob (his friends <3). Sometimes they double up, sometimes they each bring the dream lord something. Hob helps cook meals that he brings, despite Dream not necessarily needing to eat. Death brings flowers to brighten up the bedroom, poppies often amongst the flowers she brings. Lucienne brings books from the library, nothing too tiring or even work related, just simple things to entertain him. Matthew brings trinkets, he is a raven after all, sometimes it's jewelry or jewels, other times it's coins. No one knows where Matthew is getting these things or what purpose they serve, but it makes Dream smile so they don't question it.

maybe like. Dream learns not to be so emotionally constipated and maybe call upon the people(or ravens 🤨) he cares about when he needs help.

who knows, i may even properly write this

I WATCHED NIMONA!!! As someone who read the original nimona webcomic when it was updating (roughly a decade ago??) and was rly impacted by it, I was so excited to watch the film and... they did a really good job!!! it was so beautiful i cried omg... it's def worth a watch!! (long ramble under the cut BWAHA spoiler warning)

...and it was rly completely diff from the original comic but im not complaining?? like its a v loose movie adaptation and the plot/setup was v diff but still v well done... like the comic and movie r both good in their own right... & i laughed and cried a lot... i was surprised at the extent of some of the changes but the emotional parts hit hard(my eyes r swollen from crying) and it was written v well... and visually it's just gorgeous... my jaw kept dropping at the beautiful lighting, and they brought the futuristic medieval setting to life so well i could cry😭

it's funny bc one of the main things i was afraid of was them changing nimona's backstory from the comic, bc even after a decade that's one of the things that stuck w me the most... i love nimona as a chara sm... I was so worried abt them changing it and... they ended up changing it completely... but it was actually really good?! like i cried so hard, it was well done... so I'm glad I didn't have to worry after all jdjfjd🥺 like they Did change it but both ver r good in their own right...

I understand that they had to rewrite the plot completely to fit within the time length of a single movie while still being a contained story, as is always the case w movie adaptations of books, graphic novels, etc which r much longer... Series have a chance to follow the source more closely but that just isnt the case w movies... and as far as movie adaptations go they did an amazing job!! I can rly appreciate both the comic and the movie as their own thing... and I rly liked some parts that were added to the movie, like ballister(blackheart)'s backstory in the beginning, and the addition of gloreth (and her relationship w nimona) was surprisingly compelling... And I really really love that they made Ballister and Goldenloin canon POC 😭😭😭 like that made me so happy!!!❤️‍🔥 When i first saw the casting of riz ahmed and eugene lee i was sooo happy, i was like YAYY IDC IF THEY LOOK WHITE IM GONNA HC THEM AS POC🥰 but the fact that i dont even have to hc bc its canon now... 🥹 SOUTH ASIAN/EAST ASIAN KINGS🛐... and they also didn't hold back with showing them openly as a gay couple... Even tho their dynamic changed a lot from the comic I rly appreciate that...

And there were things that I did miss from the webcomic, like the original setup with goldenloin and blackheart as staged nemesis, them being exes (and some time having passed since their graduation, so they're older, unlike in the movie when it just happened), etc. but the whole setup and plot and everything I completely understand why they had to change it to make it work/fit as a movie, so I get it... so not complaining there tbh bc they did what they had to do... But tbh... TBH... my one(1) complaint(/lh) w the movie... IS I REALLY MISS GOLDENLOIN'S BEAUTIFUL LONG HAIR😭😭😭💔 He would've looked so pretty with long golden locks in the movie artstyle, esp w the gorgeous lighting... glowing gold and flowing in the wind... And I think it would've fit perfectly well with the movie ver of his chara/lore too?? like the new lore of him being a descendant of Gloreth... I could imagine him growing out his hair and bleaching it blonde to fit the image/pressure of being a descendant of gloreth, and to look more flashy and heroic to the public (They did tone down his vanity a lot but im sure he still retains some of it... like he still has that pretty popular celebrity image)... And him having long hair doesnt contradict with him being asian too or the modern setting... modern asian men can and do have pretty long hair😭 Like he couldve still been Asian, just w long blonde hair... It doesn't contradict w his new personality either... And I wish they kept the golden color bc the white/silver makes him look less like a "goldenloin"... (i also love black/gold color combos personally lol)... And i just aldjskd can u imagine movie Ballister stroking Ambrosious's long hair affectionately... pls🥲 WE COULD'VE HAD IT ALL... canon asian madeleine cookie qkjdksdj... I also do miss his original stupid vain arrogant himbo personality from the comic, but I understand why they changed it (for one, charas like that might start out obnoxious but then slowly develop and gain depth over the course of the story, but in a movie's short length, there's less time to slowly grow on ppl so it'd be easier to make them more likeable from the start... so like i get it.) but I think it would've been perfect if they just kept his long hair even w his new personality😭😭 LIKE IT WOULDVE BEEN 100000% PERFECT THEN!!! So that's literally my one lighthearted complaint/dissatisfaction w the movie LMFAO... I'd be happy if ppl draw fanart of movie ambrosious w long hair... TTwTT i miss it sm DKDJZ /end rant OVERALL I HAD A GOOD time ^^ LMFAO

#i dont wanna tag this bc i dont want it to show up in the tag orz #and the spoilers r under the cut so dont read it if u havent watched it #(not that anyone will read this anyway... i just wanted to rant LOL #nimona spoilers #i might do a more detailed ramble abt the contents of the movie later if i have energy #i love nimona herself as a chara sm tho... both the comic and movie ver #i adore herrrr shes so funny too like i think the jokes in the movie were actually better skjfd #i dont rmbr the specifics of the comic's jokes but the ones in the movie were def original (ie not in the comic) and funny hehe #shit i ranted more abt goldenloin than i thought. I SWEAR ITS NOT A BIG DEAL IM /LH #I do want to reread the comic now... I wonder if bookstores have it... #I can appreciate the movie as its own thing but its been over a decade so i want to read the comic again too #bc theyre both good in their own right!! #also its been so long that i prob forgot a lot of it

I get annoyed when people reduce Homelander to another evil Superman clone. He is such an interesting villain and doing so just ignores the set up of his character.

Comic Homelander on the other hand? The worst type of an Evil Superman Clone.

#homelander #the boys #the boys comic #evil superman #superman #im not a comic book fan #so i dont have wide knowledge of superheroes #yet the cynical nature of the evil superman trope has me tured #not homelander tho #i expected him to be but i was surprised by how genuinely great his character was #hateable to the point he terrified me in every scene #yet pitiable #edit: I watched the overly sarcastic productions video on Superman and yeah they did a disservice to Homelander #even so i dont really blame them #the boys threw wiki and comic really does read like an edgy portrayal of evil superheroes #but even so just dont comment on the show if you havent watched it #it just creates a mess in the comments

my favorite thing about matt murdock is that he is canonically a terrible boyfriend
