An unorganized collection of stuff I enjoy

Alright, let’s get this straight: if you read The Killing Joke and think it’s just about how one bad day can turn anyone into a psychopath, then you’re seriously misreading the entire story.

The Joker argues that everyone is one bad day away from snapping. He tortures Commissioner Gordon to prove his point, paralyzing Barbara, and dragging Gordon through psychological hell. But guess fucking what? Gordon doesn’t break. Despite the worst trauma imaginable, Gordon holds onto his morals, his sense of justice. His response proves that pain doesn’t have to define you. Trauma doesn’t make you a monster unless you let it.

Now, let's take a look at Batman. The Joker thinks trauma makes you lose it, but Batman’s entire existence disproves that. His parents were murdered in front of him, a trauma that could’ve shattered him. But Batman chooses to use that pain for good. He channels his suffering into fighting for justice. Batman proves that you’re not defined by what happens to you; you’re defined by how you choose to respond.

1: I genuinely cannot fucking believe this is the 2nd time RTD has taken a main character who happens to be a POC and fucking sideline them as early as he possibly can

2: I am so tired of the Nostalgia Bait to RTD 1 and so sad that Ncuti didnt fight any of the Main 3 villains.

3: Literally every part of rewriting reality to force a woman to be a mother is awful

4: I think there are some great episodes of this era that get overlooked in these conversations though. Namely Boom and Rogue

5: Wtf RTD why is Rogue STILL in Superhell.

6: Ruby was great ngl.

7: I know this was likely Disney and not RTD but why did we switch to 8 episode seasons. Dr Who is not that type of show. Dr Who is monster of the week with larger arcs being spread throughout the Monster of The Week stuff.

8: Ncuti was amazing, I only wish he had more time.
