Hi Rbs,

I am really happy to see BoBo in 'Hidden blade'.But i dont think -this is perfect as a debut movie.Why because, Bobo has a personality that attracts Kids and women like a charm.Kids are watching him as a Role model.Women considering him as their own boy.I am afraid a bit that acting in this type of dark violence movie with his face full of blood might distance him from the particular set of audience like women and kids.I think his street dance movie is the perfect debut for him to cover all set of audience.What do you think ?(I know choosing the debut movie is not in his hands due to the censors approvals timelines)

Hi Anon!

You're overthinking this, Anon. No one is going to turn against DD just because he was in a dark thriller with a lot of violence. Especially not when he's also doing beautiful contemporary dance, acting as skateboarding ambassador, releasing beautiful music, being interviewed with a dog in his lap, etc. etc.

This movie isn't being released in a vacuum. All his other activities and works remain, and those who don't find this film appealing will still be exposed to DD material they enjoy.

People who already like and appreciate DD are going to be excited to see him do well with something new.

I think a serious film like this one, with high profile co-stars, this is the perfect kind of film for him to debut on. It launches him as a serious film actor. The film stands in contrast to almost everything else he's ever done. And that is a good thing, because we want DD's debut to be memorable and notable and to break him out of past perceptions and position him in people's minds as turning a big corner and moving into a new realm.

If he'd debuted with One and Only, people wouldn't be thinking, "Wow, Wang Yibo is a serious film actor!" they'd be thinking, "Ah, there's hip hop dancer Wang Yibo!" And the role is already a bit comedic from what I understand, so not as serious, and it would be showing a DD that people are already familiar with.

Hidden Blade, on the other hand, sets him apart. The beauty of the cinematography, the understated elegance of the promotional materials, the gorgeous art direction and silent film trailers - all of this sets such a perfect tone for DD's debut into the film world as a serious actor to take notice of.

If I had my choice about which film to debut him on of all the works he's filmed, I'd have chosen this one for all the reasons I've already stated. From an image perspective, this couldn't be better suited. It will bring audiences a Wang Yibo they've never seen before. How better to burn him into the minds of audiences as having taken an important step in his career?

Oh boy yall are in for an essay bc Garth needs more love.

How I feel about this character

I love him. The Pre-Flashpoint Garth checks all the “favorite character’ boxes for me.

As a character himself:

- He’s had these paradoxes to him. The quietest yet strongest in the DCU. Most powerful, but awkward and mournfully un-confident. Never loudly sexy, but comfortable in his kinkwear. Sasses all his family and friends, yet would (HAVE) die(d) for them. The tempest of the sea, fought gods, yet has the name ‘garden”.

- Writers love to put inspirational quotes in Garth comics. And those are A+++++. Considering they dont like him much and how sidelined he was, the fact he alone got those quotes (that’s not his) in all his important milestones of development made me feel at the same time sad, touched and giddy.

- A Prince, not charming, and forever one at that. Never called himself King, or Leader, or anything indicating he wanted to work for power and title. Reminds me of Prince Vegeta, another i love with all my heart, that way - he is one just because everyone calls him one - and technically only in title since his culture is lost. And is able to be one when he needed to, as in spat some sense into you if youre too chicken to do the right thing. He’s regal and honorable. I have a weakness for the ideal of loyalties of old times, and born, lost, unwilling loyalties are even better.

- I also have a weakness for mermaids, and the Aquaman GoT setting. He’s both. While Arthur’s more a scholar and teacher, Garth is a warrior, and all things sea-borne. He’s literally a magical himbo mer prince, the child of gods, and kings, AND a 90 anime character in the world of comics. Your fav could never.

- i identify with Arthur more often than not. I kinda want Garth to be my advisor and warrior. He has some rough spots to work on, but he’s trustworthy and dutiful and could ground you.

As a DCU character:

- Garth’s a hero. And the kind of hero who chose and WORKED to be kind in a world that’s alien and unkind to him. That made him a PERPECT hero in the DCU and on par with the Trinity in his brand of herosim. Sometimes, characters and their portrayals fell into the trap of trying to be COOL, to be SUCCESSFUL, instead of to be GOOD, and I think the former made them weaker. Garth is a strong one, because of how powerful – he COULD kill you - but kind and humble he is. He literally had to learn to hold his temper back to not solve problems with violence, and get over his insecurity of being solved aside by friends and family. In this way, when Garth is written RIGHT, he’s as hopeful as Superman, as principled as Batman, and as altruistic as Wonder Woman, despite trauma and tragedies. And save for Dick Grayson, I don’t think I could find another like him right off the bat if I searched all the DCU.

- While I hate that he’s so ignored and underused, I like that he’s incredibly understated throughout his existence. I don’t like when comics state a character is powerful or smart or something very cool and fails to deliver that logically in respect to other characters and satisfyingly. Takes understanding of history and a keen eye to notice characters like him *cough Dick cough* He’s like an old comics character that way, when you have writers SHOW the story and what made a character good and letting you decide what to do with them instead of writers, some of whom only got iffy fourth or tenth handed understanding of characters, TELLING you who they are. Spoken up hype is good, but sometimes it’s a DANGEROUS trap of both continuity wise and creative wise.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

I enjoy both GarthDol and LadGirl. Each women is important to him in a different way and formed different adorable dynamics with him. I like the innocence of Dolphin and adored the pureness and bittersweetness of young love in GarthTula. Garth cherished Dolphin, but Tula raised him, in a way.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Dick. Garth has so few friends and Dick is the only one who liked and accepted him for all he is with NO prejudice, just as Garth has loyalty to Dick like no one else’s business. I wouldn’t mind if they became romantic. If Dick and Donna are platonic soulmates, I ship them the same way I ship SuperBat : superhero soulmates. They kinda only have each other as a COMPLETE EQUAL counterpart in every way.

My unpopular opinion about this character:

I actually have a few:

- I don’t think things like Princes and Princesses are boring, especially with Garth.

- I don’t like YJ Garth, both his personality and looks. And relating to the first question, i think Kaldur is a strong character, but a “weaker” hero character than canon Garth.

- While I don’t like what happened in the Didio regime aka the way he died, I’ve accepted his death. It’s fitting for him.

- A lot of the things said to be Dick’s in modern times are kinda more suited to Garth, and HAS BEEN his canon. I hate that they tried to slap things that's not fit for a character into him in expense of one another. Overprotective Batdad and incredibly cute, happy and cuddly Robin? That’s Garth with Aquaman. Family actually respected and listened to him and gave a shit if he was lost ? Garth. Potent power that’s coveted by some big organization disguised as family? Garth. Secretly royalty that’s sought after ? Garth.

- I’d say this for all the Dick stans like me who see this, and this relates to the previous questions : Garth’s The OTHER Dick Grayson. The OTHER one who creates a mantle ENTIRELY just for himself, the OTHER Titan leader. The OTHER multiversal constant in his memories and loyalty. The OTHER sum of the Trinity.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

This is just one thing and I’ve learned to accept certain ugly things that have been done to him, so I’d say this: More of a relationship with Wonder Woman. They are Dick Grayson and Superman the WARRIOR-DIPLOMAT edition. Let her be his aunt and other mentor since Atlan is no longer a cheeky young handsome mage. He needs GODS to be his mentors. Let them discuss humanity and solve man’s problems together. Let them do silly things and discover ice cream flavors together while talking shit about Arthur together. Let them be royal bisexuals together. Just let her be his other mom.
