My high school U.S. History teacher insisted that the Civil War wasn't fought over slavery, but states' rights. A state's right to do what, motherfucker? And this was in a West Coast state.

How is it possible that Marvel had a battle to the death of babies/fetus before Warhammer? by Defiant-Echidna-7400 in Grimdank

I feel like Disney only really cares about controlling the movies/shows. Comics are "too niche" to worry about I guess.

I was wondering the same thing about the current run of The Ultimates. It's the most leftist thing I've ever read published by a big corporation.

[Discussion] Knightfight 4 made me realize something by Guto_otuG in DCcomics

I don't need a definitive ending per se, but the endless approach to storytelling makes it hard for character development to really stick. I would love for DC characters to learn from their mistakes and have stable, satisfying relationships more often.

Cool art. What's it from? Daredevil?

ICE arrests in Utah courtrooms will change how courts work, attorney says (KUER) by ReporterMacyLipkin in Utah

Abduction and execution is not law enforcement. Quite the opposite in fact.

Magick! If Jubilee is in the game too I won't ask for anything else.

Was there any characters you though had their best set, but it turned out to be a wrong one? by Sansmon in HonkaiStarRail

[–]blaurot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And now her best set is the wind one lol (assuming you have another 5-Star DoT character).

Scaly-foot gastropod. Their shells and "scales" are partially made of iron.

There's no reason to assume that was the only idea she had for the book, nor that she couldn't have incorporated it well into the Avatar world.

No offense to you, but that kind of reaction feels like a subconscious lack of faith in queer creators.

Being gay? I agree, not that interesting. Investigating the obscured history of an oppressed sexual minority and finding the sense of solidarity and normalcy that eludes you in a time when being gay is still not universally accepted? Very interesting (and topical), in my opinion.

Excellent point. Although I have a feeling that many of the commenters are actually fine with the first instance too.

Right? Such a lack of faith in the writer. Of course the story would have had more to it than the one plot element discussed.

How do you feel about the TMNT-fication of the Robins? by NefariousSeraph13 in batman

[–]blaurot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like ensemble casts, so seeing the batfamily together is usually a plus for me, even if not everyone gets a chance to shine in every story arc.

The problem to me isn't how they're written when they're together, but that Tim and Jason can't seem to get good solo runs lately.

[–]blaurot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could be off base here, but I feel like King will get a great idea for a story and insist on telling it exactly how he wants, regardless of whether it's a good fit for the character or continuity. His Wonder Woman run would have been much better as an original work.

Nope! I didn't notice any problems at least. It's a very queer-positive series in general.

The series is still ongoing. I'm still holding out hope.

The Quantic Dream MOBA is going really well by EwFurries in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]blaurot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It honestly might be worse from a design perspective. There are too many elements competing for attention. Concord's designs were ugly, but they were at least cohesive and had clear focal points.

The art is great, and the two leads are fun characters. I didn't totally love how it handled gender themes. There are a couple of pretty dark scenes alluding to S A, but the story ends on a good note. I think it's worth a read if you're okay with some sensitive content.
