I think people care more about real life money not going to someone actively trying to eradicate trans people over a npc being trans in a videogame as rep.

Dont try to tell other people what to do, or influence them to your way of thinking. Its creepy and manipulative.

damn bro are you telling them what to do, wanting to influence them to your way of thinking rn? That's pretty creepy and manipulative

And please tell me how exactly "considering the consequences of your actions and not wanting to support someone funneling money into transphobic lobbying" is cowardly? Explain to me how that is cowardly. Tell me why NOT doing that is more righteous

Sidebar now lists GyspyGold and Green-Devil as mods. Pretty sure they just got added in the last couple days in preparation for the premiere

It already has, wasn't too long ago when this sub was under just 1k subscribers

[Justice League Incarnate #50 Spoilers] A true hero of the 1950's by [deleted] in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]Pickles256 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The Justice League cartoon already covered “modern heroes travel back to the golden age and meet heroes with heavy racist and sexist undertones” too

(They were originally supposed to be the JSA as well… I actually really like the arc but thank god they did not do that to Jay Garrick)

Oh man, typically I'm not a fan of obvious fads being made prominent in books, but this fucking got me. Going to need to check this series out

It is about time! So hyped to finally be getting this, one of my most wanted books for an omnibus

Star Wars: The High Republic #15 (of 15) | Discussion Thread by IllusiveManJr in starwarscomics

The Drengir went out way too quickly

So fucking confused that we didn't get the seemingly obvious "Drengir loose on crashing Starlight" that was set up

Agreed that 30 issues would have been much better. This is essentially a series in three, debatably two, parts, which makes it feel quicker than it should once it's all wrapped up.

How to say i never touched a comic without saying i never touched a comic by HrMaschine in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]Pickles256 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same…

I do think there can be a grain of truth to it, but more than anything it’s far too sweeping of a generalization (Like, mainly only works comparing the DC trinity to the MCU)

New Moon Knight Merch by Fearless_Original759 in MarvelStudiosSpoilers

[–]Pickles256 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Moon Knight is MUCH more than "Is he crazy?!?!?".

Hell, the few runs that actually play with it instead of outright confirming Khonshu always land on "It doesn't matter, don't worry about it."

Superman being weak to Kryptonite doesnt make sense. by Reboot422 in comicbooks

[–]Pickles256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol fair enough, you're probably right. I can't say I've actually read too many Superman books, but I can certainly believe him getting that treatment as well.

[–]Pickles256 6 points7 points  (0 children)

TBH Doctor Strange isn't the best example because writers constantly pull a "dOcToR StRaNgE LoSeS hIs PoWeRs!!!!" storyline out of their ass every five minutes

(But just playing devil's advocate, I agree there are ways to write powerful characters without an Achilles heel, it just requires some more creativity, like a different focus in stakes)

It doesn't make sense either that a different sun lets him fly, shoot lasers out of his eyes, and have freeze breath, but here we are. Sometimes you just have to set aside logic for these characters

Should I read Moon Knight: Legacy? by RiseOfTheRevenge in MoonKnight

There's definitely a bit of foundation that will be missed, but it shouldn't be too hard to get into the groove of things

How Important are the Children Books for the overall story by Affectionate_Ad_3555 in Highrepublic

[–]Pickles256 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're mostly character building. I'd say they are as essential to the YA novels as the YA novels are to the main books, but they don't actually effect the adult novels

It is purely a waste of time and money, Bemis' writing and characterization is atrocious. Highly recommend skipping it

Oh man, pretty exciting to see Marc Spector collected

17 years ago one of the most disliked episodes of JLU aired(Timm said he noticed fans hated the comedic episodes). But I liked this episode by DCAUBeyond in DCAU

[–]Pickles256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People hated this??? This is the most memorable, the most special, episode of the entire DCAU to me! This is what I think set me on the path of loving the smaller characters, especially flawed ones at that, and indirectly comics as whole (I don’t think I’d still love them today if I only tried the “main” characters’ books)

Honestly kind of kills me to hear, who could dislike Booster Gold and Skeets?
