this is all i needed in 2023

Pro: Bart and Max confirmed family.

Con: that better not be an out just to write them out of continuity.

We better get some sort of follow up

I just need to say how happy I am that Adams not only turned the mess that was Heroes in Crisis into a story that now defines Wally's current position in comics positively but also brought back every person that died. Bringing them back is obviously good for Wally as a character, he can't hold really any guilt over the situation now (it was all Savitar anyway but Wally def still felt responsible). It is more important for those characters, though. They were a bunch of c tier characters that DC told Tom King "Yeah, you can kill them". There was little likelihood of them coming back. There is a reason Roy was the only one they bothered to bring back from the grave after Death Metal. But Adams cared enough to bring them back and to make them important, at least for a moment (quite literally a minute). Doesn't necessarily mean we will see them again but it does mean, if a writer wants to use them, they are alive to be used.

DAY 7: i miss my wife bonbon

Not to start beef on main but what was the POINT of creating and then endearing us to Rex, of making him such an integral part of The Clone Wars and Rebels as a protagonist and supporting character, making him not just Anakin's and Ahsoka's captain but also their friend and most loyal ally, if you're gonna fucking snub him from the plot completely?

After everything is over I want the Bad Batch to abandon Rampart on some desolate planet and leave him to fend for himself.

I like Jai’s new costume

here’s it in action:

this… makes sense. ace gets along with wally. ace’s name is wallace. ofc him and bart are gonna bicker

The Flash #792

I admit, I first expected that Miss Murder wouldn't be able to effectively read Bart's mind not because of his ability to think nothing but because it is canon that trying to read or link his thoughts with others (usually) results in a immediate disorientation because Bart thinks faster than a computer.

He can essentially overload any telepath by thinking not just nothing, but thousands of individual thoughts at once.

Impulse #1000000

Bart really is terrifying; having the ability to both think nothing at all and to think so many things at once even computers can't keep up with him.

He can preplan the demise of Brainiac himself through very meticulous and methodical computer code changing while also going with his gut and just becoming a reactionary bolt of lightning.

I love him.

The way The Flash: One Minute War is living rent free in my head rn.

If Barry is fr wanting to pull a new flashpoint, I really hope the rest of the fam yells at him about it trapping them all in the speedforce the first time. I feel like he deserves to be yelled at a little for that.

Also, Wally is so not dead my guys 😭 like how are they just accepting he is dead. How many times did he dissolve into the speedforce?? How many times??? They just need to get in a huddle and think about how much they love him and bro will be back. Not that hard.

Then Jay and Irey being full on badasses. Amazing. Top tier. What I have always wanted to see. Linda too, tbh, I just know she was about to fist fight the Fraction.

That being said, the colorist is wilding

This is the wrong color scheme for Rick, bro wears black and gold. This is android Hourman coloring right here.

And then the Kid Flash miscoloring for Wally looks so funny to me 😭

Like it is so obvious, the line that separates the red and the yellow is right there 😭

Anyway, thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Everyone Introduced in Dimension 20′s The Ravening War episode 2

Gargh I genuinely wish I liked this show more - I like the returning characters, I loved all the intriguing hints of new lore stuff, aesthetically it looked fantastic... The casting was mostly perfection. I could even (mostly) put aside my increasing annoyance at post-Lucas-Star War's increasingly negative stance on the jedi that seems to be influenced by the fans who were adults when the Prequels/90s films came out who insist that those films were all about how the jedi were evil actually, when... No seriously those films were aimed at 12 year olds how did the very basic genocide is bad actually message fly over their heads so collectively?

​But ye gods I really felt the whole, Filoni's been working on 20 minute episodes his whole career with this one. 

I think the thing that properly tipped me over from, I'm enjoying this show, but it's frequently frustrating, because I am unfortunately a fan with opinions... into no, this thing is just frustrating as the finale rolled to its extremely predictable end that he'd not so much done an Empire ending, as promised, yet again, to answer the questions he'd been posing throughout next time... Only next time is hardly guaranteed, as sadly epitomised by the waste of Ray Stephenson's rather intriguing character - let alone the way both Claudia Black and Wes Chatham were essentially one step above being glorified extras.

Eh I liked Mando S3 and even BoBF I adored Andor and Kenobi - I'm hardly impartial. I even quite like Ahsoka for what it was, rather than allowing my sheer annoyance at what it wasn't get me too enraged at all the George Lucas never implied that moments with his worldbuilding - stated very publicly to be the opposite to Filoni's takes several times.

I loved the new galaxy, the Purrgils, getting to see the Rebels gang again, most of the Baylan and Shin stuff and Claudia Black getting to be a terrifying Nightmother, the Kintsugi troopers, and the extremely blatant Stargate type worldbuilding can I copy your homework stuff. Even Huyang in live action, as frustrating as the constant jedi-negging by proxy was... Ezra was perfect. Love the little crab people and seeing Chopper, as toned down for live action as he was.

But Filoni, Dave, Hat-Man, please, if you're going to do glacial and epic mysteries that end on an Empire style cliffhanger at least give us some reassurance that you have a plan and know how all the plot-threads are going to go? And that your worldbuilding is in fact internally consistent actually and not just based on vibes with some degree of yeah this does have coherence... The occassional utterly incoherent aside, for you to go oh yeah, the New Republic are all fucking terrible actually, as bad as the space nazis actually, moments were not reassuring. And in the hands of a different writer I'd have been fascinated by the Sabine getting the force stuff... But I really sincerely do not trust you with this.

You keep leaving extremely important character and worldbuilding moments off-screen, not even summed up, just stated in a sentence then rapidly glossed over. With excruciating lengths of time given to portentious dialogue and incoherent ramblings about how the jedi deserved their own genocide actually.

No? Too much to ask? One and a half plot-threads proved too much to keep spinning..?

Of which, admittedly James SA Corey/David Abraham/Ty Franck you are not you could barely keep one plot thread going coherently let alone the half-dozen or so they kept spinning all the way through.

Actually, no, you know what. Fuck it. This has annoyed me enough that I am going to go off and watch Wes Chatham not be utterly wasted in a glorified extra role, in a sci-fi series featuring mysterious rings and huge conspiracy theories by corporate and fascistic government powers alike fuelled by greed and capriciousness but above all about humanity overcoming.

At least that one doesn't flanderise its own characters and worldbuilding for the rule of cool, and the at times seemingly glacial (but not actually) very deliberately paced plot actually serves a purpose that comes together into something spectacular.

Its that or Farscape to wash the bad taste out. But that's another property heavy on the evil space fascists who never quite seem to get an in-universe comeuppance.

The Flash #790

I like the new name, and I love Ace and Bart being in sync
