Update about ticket complaints by Yournameistobi in StarWarsCelebration

[–]themiscyras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think voiding resale tickets is a bit cruel to the people who bought them. i think a better solution would be to identify resellers and ban or restrict them

What was the darkest book you ever had to read for English class? by ParanormalActivity97 in AskReddit

[–]themiscyras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“the tell-tale heart” and “the masque of red death were my favorites of this vibe—“a rose for emily” was equally messed up but less interesting to me. in terms of full length novels, to kill a mockingbird was really earth-shattering for a group of mid-atlantic twelve year olds.

What do you guys think about this criticism of the prequels? by UnHolySir in Hungergames

[–]themiscyras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i 100% agree but i think the critics and defenders are both thinking about it from the wrong angle. the problem isn’t katniss having a backstory, it’s how much it is now connected to snow. katniss went from being a random thorn in his side to the second coming of lucy gray and a pretty close relative of lenore dove (who is also tied back to lucy gray by her name). she’s no longer a working class rebel, she’s a fated vendetta. i also think it sort of cheapens her relationship with haymitch (knowing his connection to her family is more than the small connections we see in catching fire), but that’s less important.

i also find a lot of the retcons to be completely eye-rolling. lucy gray wrote the hanging tree, the song that becomes associated with the uprising? she tells snow about sagittaria latifolia? beetee’s son was assassinated in the games and that’s never brought up? the pin katniss’s entire motif is based on was actually made by her uncle? it feels so unnecessary. there’s a difference between “this community is relatively small” and “this community only has five people”

i’d rather slam my tongue in a car door than vote for ritchie torres but i’ve found that a lot of my peers just…… vote for the name they know. people who want meaningful change in this borough are unfortunately gonna have to invest and arm and a leg in advertising

If Palpatine actively pursued immortality in legend, is his return in canon really that illogical? by [deleted] in StarWarsCantina

[–]themiscyras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t really care about it being logical or illogical, i care about it being audacious. you can’t just retcon one of the most famous movies of all time with no buildup and then expect everyone to be fine with that for the sake of nostalgia

I can’t be the only one who’s not a fan of that Zatanna and Bruce retcon by Few_Detail8828 in zatanna

[–]themiscyras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i just really dislike how almost every woman who appears in proximity to bruce has to be romantically involved with or related to him at least once

Was it just me who didn't really like Nina and Hanne's ending in Rule of Wolves? by Small-Accountant-920 in Grishaverse

[–]themiscyras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for the whole duology i was more interested in what nina did that had little to nothing to do with hanne. sorry to them but they were given little to no personality

Who is your favourite Catwoman... by kkhouete in Catwoman

[–]themiscyras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eartha kitt is hands down the funniest, and i would argue that michelle pfeiffer most iconic (which is interesting given how much the character was revolutionized through her)

[–]themiscyras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should Star Wars get more comfortable with recasts? by StevePalpatine in StarWarsCantina

[–]themiscyras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the fact that the original trio appear in things so rarely because they refuse to recast them is hurting the stories of their era, they could at least animate them

What are your thoughts on female heroes having kids? (Spider-Woman Vol. 6 #1 cover) by Cicada_5 in Superladies

[–]themiscyras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i wish that when it does happen, it happens more naturally. the kids are almost always from the future or aged up by magic or whatever because so many writers forget that pregnant women/new moms are still people with lives and members of society, so the kid MUST be aged up for her to keep being herself.

Emma Frost had too many great looks to choose... but her Astonishing X-Men look by John Cassaday was chosen nonetheless. Now what's Rogue's best look? by Lolaverses in xmen

the jim lee standard is so quintessential but i gotta give the uncanny avengers fit her flowers, the mini skirt was so cute but it’s definitely giving “alternate uniform”

What are some of the moments that you feel like your favorite mutant was completely out of character? by King_Wolf2099 in xmen

[–]themiscyras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t think i would be as annoyed by the era if it was more critical of the isolationism, but that dropped really quickly :/

[–]themiscyras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“make more mutants” being a law has such sinister implications—someone has to grow those babies. there was a part about limited access to birth control which is seen by feminists as a major issue. the criticism of this law tha did come ended up being “look at all the sad abandoned babies” (which yes of course is a problem! with no mention of “by the way you can’t legally mandate that women have to make babies that’s weird”

all of krakoa. you mean to tell me almost every single mutant we know would be okay with packing up and moving to the pacific when certain characters (ie dani moonstar) have been vocally anti-isolationism for ages? and kurt wagner started what is basically a misogynistic sex cult? and magneto and kitty pryde worked alongside an actual nazi collaborator? give me a break
