rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 7hIt strips the women of any and all complexity to push them as these idealized fantasies rather than actual characters. 140
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 7hSaw the same thing with Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, where certain fans insist they were never bad guys and are just awesome sexy ladies who can never do anything bad. 140
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 7hI hate the woobification some fans have done to Felicia. They constantly downplay all of her more questionable behaviour to push this notion of her as this poor broken bird who never did anything wrong. 170
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 7hOr, maybe don’t blame a creative work because it doesn’t make you feel like 12 years old anymore. 041
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 7hThat’s going to screw up some terminally online folks. 130
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 7hThe “Surf Dracula” thing needs to die, because it’s something w has never been proven to be true. Yet people will mindlessly repeat it like it’s some deep insight or cutting criticism. 210
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 10hGood writing rewards the audience for paying attention. Online speculation has caused people to think they have to be surprised 100% of the time or else the story is bad. 0211
Reposted by @rdmacq.bsky.socialJakespeare’s Ghost @swashbucklr.bsky.social · 11hWhen I say I want superhero shows for adults, I want Lanterns, not the Boys. I want adult themes and swearing and murder mysteries, not gratuitous "what if superman was bad" blood and cheap sex jokes. 6388
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 11hAgreed. I don’t agree with the narrative that Hal somehow “stole” John’s “rightful” spot when he came back in GL: Rebirth (people forget the JL cartoon wasn’t that popular) so the notion of making Hal an outright villain again doesn’t sit right with me. 010
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 11hI’m glad that they didn’t feel the need to do the Parallax storyline. But I still dislike the tendency to “sacrifice” Hal in order to push John. 020
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 13hWhen I was young having never seen the movie I thought most of these guys were in the film. 020
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 13hThey had an evil Peter and MJ and *never* had them face off either Peter and superhero MJ. The Lowe tenure is just filled either with endless missed ideas. 080
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 13h“Okay, so we’re going to turn Ben Reilly into a villain.” “Okay.” “And then give his MJ like girlfriend power switching abilities.” “Alright.” “We’ll also make MJ a superhero and give her power switching abilities.” “And then they all fight?” “Oh heavens no. They’ll never interact.” 270
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 15hI’ve no patience for the “Wanda needs to be ‘Romani’” thing. It’s one of the more obnoxious side of online fandom. 000
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 15hLooks like they’re trying to do Batman Returns Penguin. 100
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 15hYou’ve got three masked witches in red, green and purple. Since they don’t exist in the comics, it feels like they are supposed to be *some* figures of importance. 010
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 15hIf it’s Sue Storm- either Jessica Alba or Kate Mara- that’d be a swing. 040
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 15hSo for the Latverian Witches in Endgame, got a feeling one of them is Wanda. The other is Jean Grey (Famke Jansen). So who would be the third? 450
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 16hThis was the same period that though John Wayne could pass as Asian. 040

rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 17hI mean- it’s also Channing Tatum. He’s *kinda* well known… 010
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 17hStuff like that is very new viewer friendly because it allows you to have familiar touch points where new and old viewers experience them at the same time. 000
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 17hMy favourite part of DEATH IN PARADISE is how each time they get a new detective they have a Doctor Who style “Choosing the new outfit/checking out the new TARDIS” moment with the house and the summation that kind of keeps things fresh. 120
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 19h“He could’ve killed somebody!” i.e “What do you mean there are now consequences for my actions?” 082
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 19hI think they weren’t off limits for too long. I think by the time BND ended, they could’ve gotten them back together. But Slott didn’t want that because he wanted to replace the entire cast with his pet characters. 131
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 19hAnd there were plenty of times he *could* have done it. He never uses the excuse that it was off limits to him. He *chose* not to do something that would’ve made his job easier and he refused because he’s just that petty. 131
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 19hAnd, again, they can just make their own. That’s what all the artists they hate did. They say their interests weren’t being represented so they followed their passions. They made what they wanted to see. But these guys didn’t because they assume everything must be made *for* them. 000
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 19hI look back at the 90’s and 2000’s and see how much was aggressively targeted towards men. Fanservice was everywhere. I get the appeal of that. It’s like living in a Disneyland made for you. Doesn’t mean it’s wrong if it’s toned down or others get to share, though. 110
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 19hAgain, easiest comparison is Trump. Slott thought becoming the main Spider-Man writer would make him beloved. But when he learned he couldn’t make people love him, and the love he gets doesn’t fulfill him, he lashes out. 131
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 19hA fun fact is how this book predicts how aging boomers will ruin Spider-Man over their obsession with Gwen. 042
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 19hI get that root impulse of “Everything used to be made for me! I don’t wanna share!” But I also know how childish and selfish that is, and if these people really want that they could just make it themselves. 110
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 19hI love how much Bob loves Thanksgiving on Bob’s Burgers. I’d love to taste one of those meals. They always look amazing. 010
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 19hThat’s the thing- *HE HAS TO SEEK THIS OUT!* He has to *go* to these message boards to get upset. He *blocks* people on social media but then still stalks their feeds via ghost accounts just to get angry (I know- he did it to me on TwiXter.) He *wants* to be a victim so badly. 141
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 19hAnd the whole “Society is changing! Can’t we go back to how it was and only pretend Trans people are a sometimes thing?” thing. 120
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 19hHe’d actually try to sell the book to the audience, unlike Slott who clearly feels entitled to the fandom’s time, money and devotion. 141
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 20hThis has been far too common in online fan spaces. Starting with She-Ra and Stephen Universe, going into MHA and now into Helluva Boss, TADC and more. Fans acting like spoiled, entitled brats vilifying the artists creating these works needs to be curtailed. More need to speak out against this. 063
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 21hFor numerous reasons. Mainly because Venom’s had a separate franchise and the Spider-Adaptations were stuck in the post 2000 era depiction from the comics of Venom as a blob monster because they were being written by people who hated Venom and thought Eddie was “boring.” 050
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 21hWell those are all lies, so it’s pretty clear all you want is a reboot so you can feel 12 again. 110
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 21hBTW, given the level of harassment women, minorities and LGBTQ people especially creators- faced online, Slott constantly acting like a victim because people dared to say they didn’t like a comic book story just shows how selfish and entitled he really is. 191
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 21hYou know things are bad for him when he gets *this* whiny and petulant about people being “too mean” on the internet. 1122
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 22hSo it might be a better long term strategy to keep Trump around and just constantly keep dragging him and his cronies into endless hearings for two years so that the public just get absolutely *sick* of them and the Republicans by 2028. 050
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 22hIf Dems take control, they can blunt his worst impulses. But everything bad would still be attributed to him. Get rid of Trump, and all of a sudden *they’re* on the hook to fix everything, and if it’s not fixed entirely by 2028 they get *all* the blame. 150
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 22hI know this isn’t a popular opinion, but there is some political sense in *not* impeaching Trump. As we saw with the 2024 elections, people have short memories and don’t appreciate things if things get too good too quickly. So it makes sense to keep Trump around for someone to blame. 130
rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · 22hSituations like this are frustrating because it quickly devolves into no longer being about the story told and instead the story the fans *demand* to be told, and if the creators don’t do that they’re trying to spite the audience. 010
