I actually adore the Watchmen twist. Everyone tried so hard to recreate Watchmen with every comic under the sun go for uber-darkness and realism for far too long.

Making it canon that Manhatten made heroes cold and jackasses is exactly the kind of making GBS threads on Watchmen that I crave.

That isn't Watchmans fault.

Making it all Manhattan's fault you couldn't recreate Watchmen is just more failing to recreate Watchmen.

Boba Fett and Darth Vader have a fight in the monastery of an order of pessimists.

Yeah, the whole point of Watchmen is a pointed dagger against that sort of thinking, that unfortunately backfired because way too many people read it with the same sort of mentality as Zack Snyder, where he say a dude in a mask torturing people and breaking bones, and instead of thinking "oh my god, what a sick and twisted sociopath!" they thought "wow, badass!!" and then tried to replicate what they thought they were reading, rather than what they actually were.

BravestOfTheLamps: Oct 12, 2012; by FactsAreUseless; Lipstick Apathy

Considering that Snyder portrayed grim dark Batman as antagonistic and also directed Watchmen where Rorschach was a disturbed figure, he probably agrees with you.

Ghostlight: Sep 25, 2009; maybe for one second you can pause; try to step into another person's perspective, and understand that a watermelon is cursing me

He definitely doesn't since he dropped all of Rorschach's ugly politics and backstory from the film and then made Sucker Punch.

So true. It's super cynical in that while the so-called premise of the twist is, "Watchmen made everything sour and dark and comics trying to replicate its success made everything bad!", the actual reason they're doing it is, "okay, Watchmen is a big property that we're not monetarily exploiting, so let's try to replicate its success again".

Also Watchmen itself is good as hell and blaming the existence of a really good work, that happens to be dark and maudlin in tone, for the worst excesses of "dark" mainstream comics trying to follow the money is silly.

Especially because it was actually TDKR and Batman Year One's fault.

Also seriously anyone here who's been burned by Marvel, give Rebirth a chance because it's got legitimately good comics.

From Titans. I don't know about everyone else but I love when Superhero's have to sort out the logistics of being Superheroes with normal people

I would like to note that this Titans issue was great, in that it had Wally West (from the pre-New52 universe, now stranded in whatever the current DC continuity is) hanging out with Superman (from the pre-New52 universe, now stranded in whatever the current DC continuity is).

Like, who else are they gonna talk to about this poo poo?

I still get angry at how quickly DC hosed that up in the immediate aftermath, but I'll never not love Final Crisis for the beautifully optimistic note of,"We're all stories and despite what some would have you believe, we prefer a happy ending" that it ended on.

That plus,"Darkseid always hated music." :hellyeah:

Supposedly, Leia wasn't supposed to be the other Skywalker until Lucas realized he was not, in fact, going to get the nine movie deal he wanted right away. Luke was supposed to discover he had a sister when he was like 60 years old in Episode 7 or some poo poo. Which...we got kind of close to.

Well yeah I don't think he made them kiss twice and then directed an entire TV series of them having oodles of sexual tension because he planned them to be siblings.

This isn't Fire Emblem.

Air Skwirl: May 13, 2007; Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed shitposting.

gently caress, in the original script Han Solo was a lizard person and it was Anakin Starkiller as the main protagonist. I'm pretty sure now is the only period of time when there was an actual plan about what happens next in Star Wars.

This is also a decent time to point out that George Lucas' original idea for Indiana Jones had his backstory with Marion being that Indy was in college and hosed his favorite professor's 12 year old daughter.
