#dc comics rant

I'm starting to think I'm just a hater lowkey (I am) and before I rant about this let me just say I hate that fuck ass haircut and I don't really like the suit.

Now, huntress. I love her but why did writers choose to only make her relevant again to be a love interest. Furthermore, Why do writers keep using Dick's exes as Jason's love interests? The pattern is WEIRD considering they're brothers.

I had a argument on TikTok about this someone tried to make the point that "oh dick doesn't own them and she can be with whoever she wants" and thats not the point I'm making at all?? It's a generally weird pattern to be with your brother's exes on the WRITERS behalf's, I'm sure with good writing they can be a good relationship at the same time, I've lost faith in good writing from Dc new comics.

In my personal opinion, I think they need to stop treating Jason as this weird ass rebound and branch off from the ex train. It weirds me out so bad like he deserves his own life. I also think we should stop bringing back women characters with the SOLE purpose of being a love interest I'm sooo sick of it, they could just be an amazing duo.

I also don't really see Jason in romantic relationships (Take this with ALL the salt, zero logic in this, only bias because I selfship and I hate to see other baddies winning).

I fear they keep degrading Jason's writing, focus on the wrong shit and love to keep him second to Dick and I hate that for him.

But I’d thought I’d hop on here and just share some thoughts I had about the opinions floating around and the fanbase as it reaches the box office. I’ve noticed a lot of people are trying to politicize this movie, and it boggles my mind. From both the left and the right, this is the general rundown:

Right: Superman is anti-American and he is pro-immigrant (alien from Krypton)

Left: Superman is an allegory to the conflicts in the Middle East, and he’s showcasing the hardships illegal aliens are facing at the hands of ICE right now (Essentially just an allegory for real-world conflicts the left are fighting against)

Besides the fact that I think BOTH are wrong, it also makes me disappointed that we can’t all enjoy something without bringing politics into it. Superman is literally about kindness and friendship, and we are divided over a man that stresses unity for all? It’s also a comic book character guys- he’s not supposed to be some contrived metaphor for whatever arguments people are having at the moment. He’s a cartoonish representation carrying a good, universal message for society: Truth, Justice, and the American Way

Kind of transitioning into that, the right was upset that they didn’t add that little tidbit in, and although it is Superman’s catchphrase, I feel like his actions spoke way louder than his words in that movie, so I honestly didn’t care about one absent one-liner. I think what people get wrong about that is the last part: “American Way”. Admittedly, these are only my thoughts, but I think it’s just supposed to represent the best of America’s values: Freedom, and equality. Unfortunately, that isn’t always present in America, but it was undoubtedly the spirit and framework for the country- and still is today, upheld and fought for by a lot of people. Superman is no different- he stands for equal rights, fairness, justice, freedom, and truth-

Something Gunn did incredibly well, and something we should all believe in and try to fight for.

So I mannually went through each titles to figure out which ones were written by women and holy shit…

10.

10 fucking on going titles that have come out this month.

There is around 52 titles that came out this month and 10 were written by women. That’s around 19% of Dc comics that have come out this month that are written by women.

furthermore, around only 3 women drew interior panels for comics released this month. And only around 4 covers being drawn by women.

(Lil shout out to Hayden Sherman who is currently drawing two titles rn and is a non-binary artist)

This is genuinely so unacceptable it is crazy. Yes I know that men take up the larger portion of the comic book space but there is definitely more than 10 fucking good women authors that would love to for DC. More than 4 artist who would love to draw comics for them.

DC at this point probs has more sexist men working on comics than women at all and like that shouldn’t be the case??? Excuse me??

WHY IS IT ALL GOONER SHOTS?? I've never seen so much ass panels and boobs in my life, everyone is ultra baddie.

Now I'm a gooner lowkey so I like it but I then I'm brought back to reality and recognize this is men bait/gaze and the classic scene of over-sexualizing women especially fighters.

Like why am I seeing Jade is a nightgown lingerie that shows damn near everything (I'm drooling but like guys this isn't the time)

This line of thinking doubly goes for comic families such as batfam, superfam, wonderfam etc. Admittedly I'm singling out batfam and have them specifically in mind with this post because I swear to god if I see another post about TimSteph or DickBabs basically being incest I am going to scream.
