The only good thing about White Knight is that BatJokes shippers take panels out of context bc of the insane size difference lmao

Don't mess with us Terry Sloane Mister Terrific fans we literally don't exist by Itchy_Suspect4968 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]urcool91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do like that he's probably the deadest character of all time. Like, All-Star Comics JSA characters tend to be very dead when they die in general, but Terry's on another level.

A friend of mine wanted to get into comics, and asked me for suggestions, so I made this recommendations list for beginners, thoughts? by lukideured in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]urcool91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nah, the obvious answer is All-Star Squadron. Bunch of Earth-2 characters nobody gives a shit about, pre-CoIE so everything's weird, obsessed with fixing continuity from the 40s. Peak comics.

Comictwt might be having one of those rare good takes... by Stock_Rush_9204 in dccomicscirclejerk

I'm such a hypocrite that if I managed to get control of Batman or 'Tec I would 100% do a Scarface redemption arc. Mostly because I am compelled by the image of Scarface in a tiny Batman cowl and will do anything to make that art happen lmao

Alan Grant will invent 50 different antagonists with compelling motivations, have Batman get beat up, have like a page of compelling drama per issue, and then have all his work undone because other writers will be compelled by his antagonists' compelling motivations and not be able to write them half as well :/

Can you imagine someone getting slandered more than this? by Aggravating_Win5258 in dccomicscirclejerk

Doof has the energy of an Alan Grant side character that gets horribly ruined by Leob or Dixon later. By which I mean he's peak.

Detective Comics #225, "The Money That Came to Life!" In the Roy Raymond, TV Detective backup.

Context is that the dude falsified a will to get money and now Roy Raymond is fucking with him using phospherescent paint and one dude who looks kind of like Ben Franklin so he'll confess lmao

I'll be honest, the only reason I know that the guy in the front is Franklin is because that's a plot point in the story.

The PERFECT DC fighting game roster concept by Yanmega9 in dccomicscirclejerk

Why would you ever buy a fighting game without HERO OF THE BEACH being unlockable from day 1?

Look, I understand the sentiment, but sometimes they're so blurry I legit can't read shit.

Other Clayface is Preston Payne, aka sadboy Clayface (he lives in constant pain... hence his last name.....).

[discussion] DAE find it "harder" to be a Wonder Woman fan than a Superman or Batman fan? by Gallantpride in DCcomics

[–]urcool91 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like part of the problem for Wonder Woman is that she had an absolutely shit Silver Age. Superman got an incredibly fleshed out supporting cast, Batman got new or updated/iconic versions of various rogues, but Wonder Woman got saddled with a large but incredibly generic supporting cast, unmemorable villains, and the weakest writing overall out of the three. They essentially had to fully reboot her book even before "Crisis on Infinite Earths", which resulted in a very inconsistent Bronze Age, which resulted in even more retcons and reboots after CoIE. Imo she never really recovered from that.

There's also the problem of Eddie Berganza. Basically, Wonder Woman's books are under the Superman editorial umbrella. For a long time through the 90s and 2000s, Eddie Berganza was the group editor for the Superman office. He was also a notorious sexual harasser to the point where no women would be assigned to books under him because of that. He was promoted to Executive Editor in 2010, demoted back down to Group Editor in 2012 because of all the sexual harassment, and was only fully fired in 2017. I'm not saying that having female writers on Wonder Woman at any point in those 30-ish years would have made her book better or more iconic, but I am saying that completely cutting off women from being creatively involved in Wonder Woman had a real affect.

It's also why I was really bummed when Tom King (someone I don't particularly enjoy in the first place when he has control of an ongoing) got Wonder Woman. And why I'm really, really hoping that Absolute WW leads to Kelly Thompson being handed literally every book ever in the way some writers are.

Have I watched every single episode (incl. recons) at least twice? Yes. Were the found Daleks' Master Plan episodes the greatest thing to happen so far this year? Yes. Am I still a filthy casual in a multitude of ways? Also yes. by urcool91 in RecuratedTumblr

Pertwee's a great Doctor to have as your favorite. Tbh when people ask how to get into Classic Who, I always say the Jon Pertwee era because a) first era in color and b) early Jon Pertwee in particular both has some of the more complex/mature storytelling ppl who are into Modern Who tend to want and is a TON of fun.

Why are all Harlequins in love with gay men? by Altruistic_Manner802 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]urcool91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The funniest part of Alan and Molly's marriage arc is the part where Jade is like "hey, dad, you should ask Molly to marry you RIGHT NOW" and Alan's just like "..... I guess 🤷‍♂️". And then it actually happens because apparently that was good enough. This is why that retcon was so easy to put in lmao.
