Why does DC hate Jason Todd so much??? He's literally Babey!!! 🥺
You probably aren’t me expecting to respond to this factually but fuck it here we go. Because he was a little rat fuck who replaced their favorite Robin character for a shitty carbon copy.
I wasn’t in the comic scene, or alive, when that happened in comics, but Jason originally was a carbon copy of Dick. He grew up in a circus, was in an acrobatic troupe called the Flying Todd’s, and his parents died by the hands of Two-Face.
The next Crisis had his backstory changed but the fans still viewed him as the bad Walmart version of Robin.
(For the readers:)He was a shitty replacement for Dick Grayson that had been Robin for so long and readers didn’t like the new guy taking over the role.
He doesn’t have a memorable Robin stand-alone series, he was uncharacteristically ruthless for a robin, he replaced Dick and didn’t have any of the Grayson charm that made Robin so loveable, he was arrogant at times and bashed in general. People wanted Dick. Not this other guy.
Nowadays why they hate him?
Simple and yet layered reason:
He went from a very wonderful villain in the comics and got later boiled down to an anti hero. Most people I know that dislike Jason now preferred his villain arc. I prefer it too honestly but if we didn’t have anti hero Jason, we wouldn’t have the interactions he has with the batfamily at all and I really enjoy those scenes in the comics.
His characterization is all over too. He goes from absolutely batshit insane in some comics to angsty ninja boy, to essentially a little bit feistier Ric Grayson (I’m so sorry it’s my take DC fans please don’t fight me).
Also, his death was a BIG thing in comics and him coming back ruined the meaning behind his death.
Back in the day there were three deaths in comics that always happened and never changed. They were deaths that grew other characters around them. Those three were:
- Bucky Barnes from Captain America
- Jason Todd from Batman
- Uncle Ben from Spider-Man
Their deaths hold major stepping stones to character arc changes and how the main character acted for the rest of the comics. They were always the main characters greatest tragedy and a core part of their lore.
Of course two of these are now changed. Bucky Barnes is back as the Winter Soldier and Jason is back as Red Hood.
But that death was sacred for a while. For 20 years he was dead. He was Batman’s greatest tragedy. You did not fuck with Batman’s greatest sorrow. And they did it after (incel) Superman Prime punched the universe so hard Jason Todd came back to life.
Additionally, lots of comic writers just don’t fucking want to deal with him. Same with Damian I feel like. They throw both under the bus because they’d rather be writing other characters.
Most of this is my observations but if anyone else has any other comments to add feel free.

Chris Evans And Jinx Are Teaming Up To Be Superheroes For Accessible, Wholesome Dog Food
It turns out, Marvel didn’t mention Captain America is very much a dog person.
Chris Evans, the 41-year-old megastar actor and last year’s “Sexiest Man Alive,” is brand ambassador for pet nutrition startup Jinx. The company published a press release on Wednesday wherein it announced the so-called “Dog Dream Box.” A limited edition collection made in collaboration with Evans, the new Dog Dream Box consists of four things: a bag of kibble, chicken tender treats, a tennis ball, and a rugged rope toy designed by Evans and his beloved dog named Dodger. [...]
The Dog Dream Box, priced at $19.28, is available today exclusively on Walmart’s website. It will expand to select brick-and-mortar locations nationwide beginning Monday, May 1. The rollout coincides with May being National Pet Month.
“We are thrilled to be launching this collection with Chris and Dodger, longtime friends of the brand and now creative partners of Jinx,” Kyle Banahan, Jinx’s president, said in a statement for the press release. “What is so fantastic about our partnership with Chris is his genuine love for the brand—he was introduced to us initially as a customer and deeply believes in what we are doing. We, in turn, were inspired by the authentic bond that Chris and Dodger share that reminded us of the way we feel about our own dogs. The Dog Dream Box is the ultimate starter kit to make sure your dog is living their happiest, healthiest life.”
For his part, Evans said in a statement for Jinx’s press release: “I am excited for other dogs around the country to try some of Dodger’s favorite bites and fall in love with Jinx like we did, as a healthy diet is crucial to their overall wellbeing.”Read more on Forbes.com

Hello Sophia,
I’ve been curious about any relationships and linkages between SMA title, Alba and Jinx. Finally, I’ve managed to discover Chris’ influencer profile on one marketing platform (note: Carbons Dating The Web estimated creation date: 2023-06-01).
There are some interesting facts and figures in the case study:
Premium US dog superfood brand, Jinx is redefining dog nutrition and is sold at Walmart stores across the country. Its audience are 71% female, typically single or married and aged in their thirties. English-speaking, Jinx’s followers are 84% US-based, with India, The Philippines, Indonesia and Brazil as secondary markets. Top cities for its customers include New York, LA, San Francisco and Chicago.
Looking at celebrity influences, Chris Evans does not appear in the list.
Media-wise, Buzzfeed, Betches Media, The New York Times, HGTV, The New Yorker, People Magazine, Vice and Bon Appetit come out on top for consumption.
Chris’ audience is 67% female, typically single and aged 25-34. English-speaking, his followers are typically based in the US, with Brazil, India, Italy and Mexico as other territories. Top cities include São Paulo, New York and LA. On basic demographics, Chris Evans and Jinx are rather well matched, particularly if the brand is hoping to reach a slightly younger customer base.
Diving into likes and interests, Film & TV rank highly, as well as music, dance, sport, college, poetry, Mexican food and spirituality. Pets is present, with 1.5% of the share, which is 1.3x the platform average, putting Chris Evan’s profile in the top 20% of all Instagram accounts for pets.
Looking at media consumption, Buzzfeed, BBC, CNN, 9GAG, New York Times, TIME Magazine, The New Yorker, GQ and Hugo Gloss dominate. Crucially, Jinx isn’t listed as one of Chris Evan’s follower’s main brand affinities. Instead, the likes of Marvel, Disney, NASA, Starbucks, Google, PlayStation and Sephora lead. That being said, no other pet food brand appears.
It is important to note that Chris Evans is one of a few celebrity investors in Jinx. However, he is still quite an organic brand ambassador, being known for his relationship with his dog. Overall, it’s a smart match for brand and talent that taps into authentic interests and with the addition of Evans as creative director for campaigns, it appears to be a more substantial collaboration than a simple awareness-based sponsorship.

I’d say Chris is a legitimate source; if he claims they are together then that’s the fact (whatever his way of statements have been), and it being a contract/stunt is the conjecture. Not the opposite. //
BUT HE HAS NEVER CLAIMED ANYTHING, that's the kicker. Even when he posted the video dumps, no where did he claim to be with her, but rather heart emojis and the year that was. Every word that he said during the SMA contradicted the actions that proceeded into the whole pap walk. Remember how he likes PDA? There is literally no where he has showed an ounce of affection for that girl, even in those videos. They are just cringe stuff that he has done with every random person he knows,just to paint a narrative.. just enough to creat a story but with enough room for deniability. Another little thing that people forget is , People magazine also reached out to sources and NOTHING was CONFIRMED. The same magazine that interviewed him before the public launch and claimed that if he was in a relationship he would say it himself. Just Jared coming out with a story before the dumps that was quickly deleted.
Now if liking posts is a confirmation of relationship then that man has been in a relationship with a lot of women.
My point is, even Chris is not a source. Because he has not said anything about them being together. Yet when he was with Jenny Slate,it was CONFIRMED by HIS people , with Minka it was CONFIRMED by HIS people.
Did anyone confirm that he and Lilly James were together, yet there are photos of them. In fact there is more PDA in those two days photos than in this:
" two year relationship with the love of his life that he will marry and has been married to,or have a house together to be featured in AD" and every other little thing we have heard.
Again creating a story and narrative for a purpose. Basically, a STUNT..
But let's look at his recent activities, when he speaks when events have nothing to do with her. He has said that Dodger is his true partner, just recently at a Walmart event, he said that a dog gives you what no other relationship with a human can and again right before he deactivated, he said how good it feels to be ALONE. I don't know anything about that man or more than what is speculated about him on SM, but that doesn't sound like a man is in a happy and healthy relationship. That doesn't even sound like a man in a happy place at the moment IMO.
Food for thought, didn't anyone notice the timing of all this. The public launch aka pap walk was right on the day of WN series premiere and Chris deactivated right after Netflix released WN to be picked up by another service. What did Simon Barry do on that fateful day of the pap walk, he tweeted, "he could do this all day." He also seemed very proud that WN did so well with little marketing. And just recently,what did he tell his WN minions, that the show has been renewed even though that is clearly a white lie.
Justin's father Facebook post really NEEDED to remind us that the marriage was to "Captain America" not even Chris Evans.
A STUNT. ✨
And the little pause after it. It was so funny!
I don't know if the fact that it wasn't confirmed means something. I think that's usually how it goes with these types of articles: when a "source" talks about something rather than the people involved.
I always loved the scare videos with Scott because they were genuine and funny, but theirs with Alba was neither.
I agree that he doesn't talk about things like being super in love and being in an almost 2-year relationship. I'd get it if they were in a super secret or private relationship; however, they aren't. They did a pap walk, and he's shared several stories about their relationship. I'm not saying he would talk about her or mention her name all the time, but I think he would phrase a lot of things differently.
The fact that he was Captain America had nothing to do with what Justin's father was talking about. We know Chris Evans is dating Alba, and I'm pretty sure people know he played Captain America. It was all for the show.

Ok so I'm seeing a lot of takes so hot / Hot, hot takes about "Plaigiarism isn't new and is good actually. I am very smart."
I agree. So let me explain why these pro-plagiarism posts exist in the wake of Somerton getting bonked into galactic prison as succinctly as I can: I dont think these people are talking about plagiarism.
The sentiment I've seen flying around lately on adaptation of a work to become your work is: The new, appropriating work must not serve as a "suitable replacement" for experiencing the appropriated work. In all cases: Clear, non-misleading credit should be given to sources used for further reading and accountability. I agree with this!
The "suitable replacement" argument covers only egregious piracy and plagiarism. Putting your name on someone else's work, unaltered or nearly unaltered, is plagiarism. Reversing footage, putting a little filter on it, and showing an entire documentary as "Vaporwave Mirror Edit - Life of Amazon Bugs (2021) by BigBalzBobby" is definitely a "suitable replacement" for actually watching the doc but with all of its credits and sources removed. Showing a series of tiktoks in entirety with all credit removed, and you saying something after it's over, is plagiarism because I dont need to watch that tiktok now to experience it in its unaltered form and you've obfuscated the source on purpose to assume control of the work in its entirety.
Using a 5 second disco sample or remixing an existing song into a different genre is not a "suitable replacement" for hearing the original (in all but a few cases which barely modify the original work.) That's sampling, it's generally done with credit of some sort, and what people are arguing to protect: The right to adapt. Plunderphonics albums such as those by The Avalanches are adaptations, no matter what the corporations who own the mangled samples within them will try to tell you in order to gain free control of the artist's fruits of labor. The presentation of Negativland's Dispepsi as a work of protest makes it an unsuitable replacement for the advertisements it's stealing. That album wants you to drink less Pepsi, not more.
Changing 5 words from a lesser known queer author's essay, then presenting all of their points as your own to profit from in its original informative context, that's "a suitable replacement" for reading the adapted the work and cannot be said to be your own: You just read me the whole article with a few words changed for the purposes of sentence flow and claimed it as a wholly original work. That's vile and should not be let to stand. It's also not media piracy...
Piracy is wholesale stealing but does not plagiarize: If you resold bootlegs of Captain America: Civil War to make rent and replaced all of the credits with your name, that would be patently unbelivable to basically all consumers but it would technically be plagiarism. As it is, all credit is generally left intact in bootlegs and you have only stolen the rights to distribute that for-profit work for profit. This practice of stealing the rights to distribute a work for profit with full credit to its makers is fun to argue about the objective morality of. Try it today!
But yeah: Cite your sources, work with the cretors you're adapting if you can to properly represent them, and don't confuse taking credit for almost anonymous queer creators' ideas to build a personal ideagogue-like empire in an effort to get rich... with stealing an album from Walmart.
If you do support stealing works and claiming them as your own til you get caught as acceptable businesslike behavior, I'd love to hear your ideas on the matter in the public replies phrased as: Your home address, your most recent or vivid nightmare, when you're usually home, and the full billing information associated with your bank account and debit card. I will personally address your points if you also provide your Linkedin password and a hole pic.

😇 🍎 and 🍕 for Bruno!
😇How did they come to discover their favorite weapon?
Bruno holds up his VP9 pistol, showing off the beautiful work on it, from the laser engravings along the barrel and the sleek design. "This? I think one time I was stuck in a jungle trying to take down a drug lord and I ended up in some river. If I recall correctly, my rifle ended up getting separated from me, and all I had was this bad boy. I had 2 clips of 17 bullets and roughly 27 ruffians looking for me. Needless to say, this saved my life and honestly, it suits me; underestimated yet can pack one hell of a punch."
🍎 Rate OC crankiness from 1-10
Bruno glares at the camera and he grumbles, "I am not cranky one damn bit, and whoever told you I am cranky is lying."
Lukas is seek peeking around the corner and shoots a nerf gun right at Bruno's head, to which the large man stands up and roars, "BOY I WILL MAKE YOU RUN UNTIL YOUR LEGS ARE JELLY!"
"The answer is 17!" Lukas laughs, sprinting down the hall and Bruno follows after him.
🍕What does your OC tend to eat on a regular basis? Perfumery?
Bruno leans back and scratches at his scruff, humming. "On a regular basis? Let's see... Well I am a growing man and I burn too many calories for my own good, so I mostly try to have a protein like steak or fish, a starch like fries... Don't laugh at me, but I may have a slight addiction to nutella."
Valdemar scoffs off camera and walks into view, holding a Walmart bag and showing the contents of it: Over 10 jars of Nutella and pretzel sticks. "So what in the fuck is this? I thought you were going to size down on the nutella shit, Captain America?"
Bruno tries to snatch the bag back, but fails, crossing his arms like a scolded child. "I did size down, and it is the one time in the day I don't get pestered or reminded that I have to deal with your antics."
"Uh huh... love you too, Captain Bru Bru."
"I am going to kill you."
"Then you can't have Nutella."
"Damn you."

we could be stars
september 1 - stars / fantasies
ship: LIPER (Piper x Leo)
@them-awesome-rarepairs
a/n: apologies for the late upload but i started university yesterday and my little sister started high school so it’s been very busy in my house lol. anyways this fic is inspired by the popular (and i mean popular in like.. 2013) hc that piper’s memories of kissing jason on the rooftop were actually with leo. i LOVE LOVE this headcanon for reasons i can’t explain - what can i say, i’m a hopeless romantic, so here’s a drabble based off of it!
“C’mon! You’re gonna love this McLean.” Leo grinned as he grabbed Piper’s hand and pulled her through the hallway and up the hidden staircase to the roof. The Native American girl rolled her eyes at him, following behind him as he pushed the door open.
The rooftop was empty, except for the stuff Leo had snuck up during his spare period - fairy lights, two bean bag chairs from the Walmart two blocks away, as well as Piper’s favourite blanket which was honeysuckle pink and fuzzy on the inside. Piper gasped beside him.
“What the….” Her words trailed off as she turned to Leo. “You did that for me?” He looked at her, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. “Yeah. You uh, you mentioned wanting to see the stars like you used to in your grandpa’s backyard, and well… this obviously isn’t that but it’s at least something?” Piper stared at him for a second before throwing her arms around him. “Oh my god, I love you Valdez.” 
Leo’s heart fluttered. “Love you too McLean. Cmon. I have Thor and Captain America plus that gross vegan popcorn brand you love.” Piper punched his arm before grinning at him.
“You’re such an idiot.” She said and Leo smirked before leaning into her. “And you love it.” He looked down at her lips, before looking at her eyes and the way they slightly widened. “Maybe I do.” She whispered in response and Leo hummed. 
He flashed Piper a grin and she rolled her eyes before grabbing his face and kissing him.

I just had the sweetest interaction with someone while at Walmart. It hardly happens but my heart is sooo full and my inner child is beaming.
I remember when I was younger I geeked out seeing someone own something that I was interested in. At the top of my head, twilight merch, Disney bags, and even loungeflys when they first started coming out. I'd point it out to my mom and she'd let me geek out for a few minutes and we'd move on with our day.
I've been using my Captain America loungefly bag as my 'purse' for a bit. Attached to the zipper is Bucky's dog tag. To me it was usual to have sitting on my back while in the store. It feels more secured on me then it ever will sitting in the front of the cart.
While waiting in line I just hear this loud gasp behind me. At first I didn't think anything of it until I heard "She's got a captain America bag! That's soo cool!" Followed by "AND IT HAS BUCKY BARNES'S DOG TAG ON IT!"
I didn't want to automatically turn around and embarrass her or anything so I waited until she was further away and when I saw her, she was just beaming and smiling at me as she walked away.
Don't get me wrong, I still geek out with my mom on occasion but it just felt so wholesome to hear the excitement.
I know the little things have me excited but I absolutely love the little moments like that.

I’ve been a casual Stucky fan for years but I’m looking to read more fics. Got any recommendations???
i certainly do, my dear anon! idk if there's anything you like or don't like so i'm just gonna throw some out there and if you don't enjoy them i've got plenty more :3 Canon / Canon Divergence Creep in a T-Shirt - Mature - “those people, the ones you’re calling my friends, and the people around here in general, they’re never talking about me. they’re always talking about captain america,” steve explains. bucky watches steve critically. “well as long as you’re captain america, nobody is going to talk crap about captain america.” I Am a Human Being Capable of Doing Terrible Things - Teen - jarvis once again spoke up over the klaxon, but this time he was hesitant with the news. “i believe that i have deduced a specific reason that the hydra agents are here. this is no random attack, as agent rumlow is with them. they are here for sergeant barnes. they mean to take him back alive.” tony quite literally recoiled at how quickly steve’s face shut down, expression shuttering into something flat and deadly. QuickPic - G - steve loses his phone and doesn't think too much about it…until someone puts his pictures and texts on the internet. Let This Be Light Work - Teen - on the run with sam and natasha, steve finds the words to describe his commitment to bucky. as with most of steve’s decisions, there are unintended consequences. Sustainability - Explicit - across the hazy, smoke-filled room, separated by a crowd of men in uniform and women in their best dresses, hiding behind the commotion of rowdy soldiers blowing off steam, bucky was ignoring steve. AU #BeProud - Explicit - in which steve rogers decides to casually come out on twitter on a sunny sunday morning. Clean Up on Aisle 3 - Explicit - meeting at a walmart at 2am AU Moosebumps - Teen - 107 looks up. he looks even prettier up close, even (or especially, steve’s mind supplies unhelpfully) with his cheeks flushed with the exercise and sweat beading on his forehead. he does look a little crazy, though. Inside Man - Teen - bucky barnes is starting a new job… inside a prison. he's a doctor and it's his job to take care of his patients whether they're criminals or not, and that includes the handsome hunk steve rogers from super max. Series Ipseity - Explicit - even the strongest personalities, when subjected to great physical, emotional, and sexual abuses, can splinter, or dissociate. bucky barnes lives a nightmare after falling from a train and being recovered by hydra. his mind deals with the trauma by splintering into the soldier, the prisoner, the patriot, and the assassin. years later, they team up to save steve rogers. The Miraculous Memory Machine - Varied - after a heart-to-heart with t'challa, tony uses his memory device (with a new feature!) to help bucky deal with his HYDRA programming -- but first, they witness the love story of bucky and steve …. The Rise Bakery - Teen - the rise bakery was a homely type of place, for an establishment run by three ex-assassins.
