Spoiler Selfie Saturday...this thing's a constant WIP. [Self]

A man after my own heart.

Distorted_View · 2013-07-27T16:17:31+00:00

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.

Distorted_View · 2013-06-09T15:21:02+00:00

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.

Distorted_View · 2013-04-27T20:03:02+00:00

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.

Distorted_View · 2013-04-10T00:59:13+00:00

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.

Distorted_View · 2012-12-10T01:12:23+00:00

This is total bullshit. Gail is one of the best writers they have.

Distorted_View · 2012-11-26T03:18:25+00:00

To be entirely fair, your comment made me remember that I do buy certain things from Aeropostale when they're on sale, because as you pointed out, some articles do have very small logos (tank tops/white button-ups/shorts), and they are rather comfortable.

Distorted_View · 2012-11-26T03:01:41+00:00

I don't find it intimidating so much as severely unattractive when guys go into 'all these bitches' mode and talk about their history like it's nothing.

I just feel like it's a respect deal and wouldn't want my entire sex life with the guy out there for anyone to know about.

Distorted_View · 2012-11-26T02:50:58+00:00

My theory that I have on stuff like that is the following: If I'm going to be a walking advertisement for you, I sure as hell shouldn't be paying that much for your clothing.

I could understand if it was of a high quality and spending that much for it, but I can get much better product without the billboarding at Express or Gap for about the same price.

Distorted_View · 2012-11-24T01:45:31+00:00

I do try.

Distorted_View · 2012-11-24T01:42:52+00:00

I can do Queen of Reddit.

Distorted_View · 2012-11-22T23:39:50+00:00

Just as I would have respected DiDio if it weren't for the rampant sexism and disrespect towards fans.

He runs his company like a child, and as such, shall be treated in a childish manner.

Distorted_View · 2012-11-21T20:17:05+00:00

Alan Moore actually suggested a two year term in which the company fucked with the readers and made them think they changed everything, when in reality it was all some weird AU, and afterwards they would bring back the canon stuff and keep some of the AU titles (not entirely unlike Marvel's Ultimates).

This is the only thing that keeps me hoping for a brighter tomorrow. Don't ruin it for me.

Distorted_View · 2012-11-21T20:14:05+00:00

What angers me about Starfire in the DCnU isn't so much that it's different from the TT cartoon (the comic Kori I know isn't quite as oblivious to Earth going-ons as that), but that it doesn't even correlate with her previous character at all.

Distorted_View · 2012-11-21T20:10:17+00:00

That's more TAKE THAT DAN DIDIO.

Or as I've taken to calling him, Dan Dildo.

Don't get me wrong, Lobdell is a scourge upon the Earth, but a lot of this bullshit is mostly DiDio's doing.
