Why can't people criticize lovely comic book movies without it being made political.

It's not "the system" that Gordon is defending. It's "Our way". The way of trying to do the right thing and not crossing lines. The way of holding oneself to a higher standard, of not doing what your enemy does just to "win".

Kurzon posted:I wonder why it was so important for him to prove that to the Joker. Because the entirety of Joker's plan was trying to prove how meaningless that sort of morality is, and Gordon thinks it's the biggest "gently caress you" possible to still do the right thing after what Joker did to him. Kurzon posted:I interpreted it as a subtle dig at past Batman conventions. This was a couple of years after Moore wrote, Watchmen, remember. Perhaps Moore was mocking the ridiculousness of a city official having an open relationship with a vigilante and pretending it was all legal. You seem determined to read the story against the authorial intent.

Unmature posted:This just in: Spergs on the internet don't understand artistic interpretation and will only take the author's intent as law, EXTREE EXTREE! I understand artistic interpretation just fine, but trying to read everything against both the explicit text and the script and then alluding that your interpretation is supported by your understanding of the author's politics or personality is dumb as dog poo poo. I'm sorry that makes you upset and makes you feel the need to call me names.

Ideally you'd have him combating crime on every front, both as a billionaire philanthropist and a leather-clad sadist, although it does raise questions about sleep cycles and exhaustion (something the Nolan films addressed pretty handily).

The scene in Mask of the Phantasm is him begging his parents' grave to let him be happy.

I thought only Begins really made Gotham look distinct. They really gave it this... anachronistic turn of the century look. Like it looked like what people in the early 1900s thought the big cities would shape up to be.

Oracle was certainly a more interesting character than Barbara Gordon as Batgirl ever was.

You can't make Killing Joke badly written just by repeating the lie often enough.

ImpAtom posted:God, you really are just the worst loving poster in this subforum. I'm sorry that I don't see the value in endlessly ranting about something, especially when my entire angle on that thing is asinine and clearly motivated by fanboyism of a lovely character. But please feel free to continue judging me as a person for disagreeing with one thing you said in your gigantic idiotic rant. "Oh no! He thinks one of the universally agreed 3 best Batman comics is good! What a piece of poo poo!" I guess if I'd posted 600 words about something as blatantly obvious as "The Killing Joke is an extremely well thought-out masterpiece that defined Batman and Joker's relationship for decades" you'd be totally cool with it, and not be throwing a dumb tantrum about its mistreatment of one of DC's most boring characters. Clearly the problem is with my conciseness and not your stupid childish grudge with a well-respected author. You dumb motherfucker. Lurdiak fucked around with this message at 07:29 on Aug 2, 2016 |

Everyone, please read my 3 page hot take on why Death of Captain Marvel is a lovely book by a lovely writer because it doesn't treat Gamora with the respect she deserves. What's that, you think I'm dumb? Well that makes you a lovely poster who isn't willing to debate honestly with us intellectuals.

Android Blues posted:I don't think the general consensus is that The Killing Joke is lovely. In fact, I don't think there's a single person in this thread saying that. ImpAtom was repeatedly saying the book was poorly written, and got really upset that I disagreed without writing a novel. I don't mind if people criticize the book, I'm not married to it.

CharlestheHammer posted:You do see the irony in fanboying out while decrying fanboying right? Also no one called it poorly written just that part of it is, which it absolutely is. I don't give a gently caress about batgirl as a character but poorly written is poorly written. So stop being a smug, disingenuous motherfucker. I'm not fanboying out for poo poo, I'm reacting to an idiot thinking his stupid lovely opinion was worth more than a one sentence middle finger. If I can't be smug while replying to someone who throws a fit about how people disagreeing with him must be bad posters, I don't know when I can be. Not sure why you think something that obvious requires you to come in and declare me disingenuous, though.

DrProsek posted:I pose the same question to you. Why was your opinion worth three paragraphs? You posted it like we were supposed to care about it, but I didn't see you prove out why your opinion deserved more than one sentence Why do any of us post on forums when we could all keep our thoughts to ourselves. Really makes you think.

ImpAtom posted:As usually, Lurdiak, you just wanted to shitpost and run and in doing so you decided without actually reading anything that I was someone talking about how terrible and awful Killing Joke is and how it's the worst story ever. It's interesting that you decided to get mad and insult me and declare I was "shitposting and running" when I didn't even quote you in my initial post. I just said "Killing Joke isn't bad" and you called that a shitpost and declared me the worst! poster! ever! And I'm supposed to be the one with a reading problem?

CharlestheHammer posted:That is the definition of fanboying. You got offended someone didn't think a story you like is perfect and responded in a juvenile whiny way. Well, I guess you can apply death of the author to forum posts, and I can't stop you. ImpAtom posted:We are on an internet forum where your previous posts can be directly linked you know. I was responding to more or less the entire page the conversation was happening on.

Franchescanado posted:I got your back, bro. Of course I'm doing it again! I've got a theme planned and some of the lineup set up based on that, but it's not set in stone and I've still got plenty of research to do. I usually have to stop myself from planning it TOO far in advance, cuz if I get everything ready in like July that leaves me chomping at the bit for months. I'll make a thread as usual in October.

ImpAtom posted:I snapped at you and I probably shouldn't have but at bare minimum I think you have to recognize the difference between "The Killing Joke isn't bad" and calling people a liar. Yeah I guess I coulda been less snippy too. Waking up after a lovely night's sleep to being called "the worst poster on the forum" is a bad way to start the day. ToastyPotato posted:It's almost as if people reacted to a lovely post you made. Imagine a world where you didn't make lovely posts and no one shat on you for it. I'm not even trying to dog pile here dude. You literally flipped out and started swearing and name calling because you got mad that someone called you out on a kind of lovely post. Maybe instead of getting used to it, you should look inward and realize that maybe the problem is something you are doing wrong, if it is happening that often. Or don't' and get poo poo on. Either way don't whine about. No one forces you to post. I'm not even dogpiling *proceeds to dogpile*

Yeah, if someone wanted to "pad out" The Killing Joke because they're a dumb rear end in a top hat who thinks an animated film needs to be a certain length for people to feel like they got their money's worth, you'd think they would've added more down-on-his-luck comedian Joker scenes instead of what they added.

While some of the lines mooks have in the Arkham games are loving garbage and uninspired, especially the ones they yell during combat. (IT'S THE FREAKIN BAT!!), a ton of the incidental conversations they have among themselves are amazing. Except the ones where they talk about how bad they wanna rape (insert any of the female characters here). It helps that most of it is Joe DiMaggio talking to another Joe DiMaggio.
