i cannot stand this man i really do think he is the worst writer dc has in terms of everything ive picked up by him BUT finding out t*m k*ng claimed he loves the orion solo is like.... how do you have such a completely fundamentally incorrect take on this character still. will also do a full writeup on this after i reread new gods/finish mr miracles comix

i found the interview where he talks about orion in MM and im like bro you should not have been allowed to write new gods ever. fucking awful. not even mentioning how bad his lightray characterization is or how dirty he did the other new gods/forever ppl

how do you read new gods and not know orion is older than scott??? he lived on apokolips! he was locked away alone/alone w granny/w his mom (depending on canon) for ~10 years before scott was even born. i think theres maybe 1 recap where they had him as a baby instead but got retconned within the same comic? (i think it was the same sequence that made lightray waaaaay younger which they also retconned within the same run) ( i have to reread new gods in full ) (honeslty i might even just be thinking abt the backstory n kings directors cut)

i have a few more orion issues to read (and a lot of scotts....) not to mention when have orion and scott ever.... actually fought........ like outside of idk - the pre crisis dream sequence scott has? and orions never to my knowledge ever implied scott hasnt suffered or wont understand (something he has gotten angry at another character over (lightray))

scott expresses that he respects orion. he defends orions obsession w defeating his father when helena wayne makes a Comment. in the JLI-tie in segment of mr miracle vol 2 orion brings up that scott is technically his brother but they never got to know eachother but wants to build that relationship. not to mention the end of the orion solo

like most i can think of orion questions scotts decision to give up godhood one point but simply tells him he doesnt understand. and scott at the very end of DotNG like does believe orion is the killer but immediately realizes his perceptions were being manipulated/the “evidence” was bullshit (and earlier in the comic snapped at clark&gideon for implying orion would betray them at all.... and thats from the writer who made orion a massive cunt in the first place)

ANYWAY i would like to see orion and scott be brothers again i really hate the interpretation that they hate eachother i think they have one of the most interesting sibling relationships in dc and i wish more writers actually cared about the new genesis new gods

#i dont like his scottbarda characterization either tbh #but thats a rant for when im done w all the mr miracle comix #justixw league comix #sorry its ranting day <3
