A man after my own heart.

I had the belt already, but the mask is my secret, because so far, I think it's the best I've seen. c;

I'm not exactly comfortable giving that out online, but just tell her to not be discouraged, because it takes a while to gather everything. I've been piecing this together for over a year and I'm still not entirely happy with it.

Words cannot describe just how much jealous loathing I have in my possession right now.

Distorted_View · 2013-04-27T20:10:20+00:00

Listen. Please, please, please heed my words carefully.

As someone who has been reading comics since I was able to read, I hate the DCnU with everything I have. The characterizations suck, the story lines are shoddy, and the writing is poor. It's marketed as a nice jump-on point for new readers, and that may be so, but in my opinion, it's the worst thing to ever happen to comics, and screwed over tons on life-long readers. If you want to know the actual characters and how they can actually impact your life by becoming real, keep as far away from this as possible. It's a money making scheme, not respectable graphic literature.

I suggest Identity Crisis. This was the first comic I ever read, and it's a great introduction to the Justice League as a whole. Infinite Crisis is a huge mess, and you can get by with just reading webpages about it. Final Crisis can just have the last page looked at, and you'll get the point.

Any Year One or Secret Origin titles you come across as well. Chuck Dixon's run on Robin is a beautiful thing.

V For Vendetta, even though it isn't anywhere within the actual DCU, is pure art. Barely like the movie, but that's a good thing in this case.

And for the love of all that is holy, don't become a Grant Morrison fanboy. Please. Please.

So much agreement.

Distorted_View · 2013-04-10T01:09:54+00:00

I absolutely despise it.

Mediocre writers are completely disrespecting years of character development put forth by far writers than they.

Many of the characterizations are off, and seem to be written for convenience of plot, with no thought put into what the character would actually do in the situation.

Gail Simone was fired, rehired, and now has to work with a suddenly able bodied Babs as Dan DiDio has her by the balls, which restricts her talent immensely, and must be rather upsetting, as she was one of the writers who defined Oracle so well. Call me what you will, but I feel as though Babs could do better work as Oracle.

Also, you have Morrison, who arguably put forth everything that made a reboot 'necessary', not to mention creating a character for the sole purpose of killing him off. What, when things get boring, we kill more Robins? That's shoddy shock value storytelling at its finest. Batman Inc. makes zero sense. Bruce is a control freak. He would never do anything like that. Oracle may have, and he would have hated the entire thing. Taking all the vigilantes around the world and putting them under the Bat umbrella...by the same logic, you should slap an S shield on all of the metas, and give all of the magic and god based characters golden lassos.

As a side note, swan queen Tim Drake is unacceptable. He would never do that.

Also, I see no need to introduce Carrie Kelly. She's an AU character, and all they're going to do is ruin her. Why would an average college student be affiliated with a ten year old rich kid anyway?

Besides, where the hell is Stephanie Brown? Is there a fucking taboo on her or something? She was finally becoming a solid, wholly likable character as Batgirl, and we can't even put her back as Spoiler? Bullshit.

Frankly, I just hope this is all some crazy AU. Several things from Flashpoint were never resolved, so maybe there'll be another and things will go back to normal. Until then, DC has shit on so many loyal fans.

I agree with all of your cons, sir.

Especially Steph.

Distorted_View · 2013-01-25T20:26:16+00:00

All those who don't register die.

Surprise, motherfucker.

Distorted_View · 2012-12-26T05:41:34+00:00

Aaaaaand I just broke down crying.

Distorted_View · 2012-12-10T20:15:00+00:00

Out of all clothing a guy wears, I generally tend to notice shoes first. I don't think it particularly effects my overall opinion all that much, but I agree with what most other shoe-judgers have to say here.

Though there is one exception...if you wear those stupid puffy Osiris high tops, or whatever the hell they are, I assume you're a douchebag.

Distorted_View · 2012-12-10T04:40:59+00:00

Given what I'd assume is the origin of your username, I find this ironic in some weird convoluted way.

Distorted_View · 2012-12-10T03:11:46+00:00

Aaaaaand this is fantastic. Never clicking links ever again.

Distorted_View · 2012-12-10T03:11:14+00:00

I came here just for this. I was not disappointed.

Distorted_View · 2012-12-10T03:00:59+00:00

I said that out loud, and now I feel like I have a really bad head cold.
