  • My dreams exceed my real life

    If it helps, I can understand being annoyed at that.

    I suppose it helps in my case that I don't have much of an emotional attachment to superheroes, and so can avoid the shitty media that features them without any regret.

    So do I.

    Tumblr does not know that people are allowed to do this.

    Before we move on, I would like to say that the "Property of the Joker" jacket that Suicide Squad!Harley Quinn is wearing is way too on-the-nose for me.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    It's just.

    I don't understand why they're still so super-invested in being marketing vectors for superhero movies, when they hate everything DC does, and are angry at Marvel's point blank refusal to put queer people in their movies.

    Or even have a movie starring a woman or non-white person, other than the perpetually delayed Black Panther.

    I am kinda annoyed at Marvel for not using the reclamation of the rights to Spider-Man to include Miles Morales, TBH.

    Otherwise, I do agree with your frustration.

    Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    Hulk said that fandoms love things not because of what it is, but what they can as fans add to it. I think there's a lot of truth in that.

    So that's my answer as to why they're invested, why they keep buying those tickets. Because they seek out media that lack something, so they can fill the void they perceive.

    being a superhero comic fan sounds draining

    I will accept this.

    i can only assume they must enjoy something about at least half of the superhero stuff that comes out, or they'd surely abandon it?

    either that or it's an obsession
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    oh, the fandom thing, that wouldn't have occurred to me but i think it's true

    it's a collective subcultural experience, which i never took much interest in

    I can also accept it.

    That would certainly explain Star Wars, too.

    That's exactly it, it's an obsession.

    I love superhero comics, but I'll be damned if I read every one. I'll probably never ever read the critically-acclaimed Killing Joke out of spite and contempt for standards of perceived quality.

    Yeah, I would think. Certainly haven't heard any term specifically for concrete.


    Wait, really?  In that case you are using it the UK way, i think.

    i wasn't aware anyone in the US used it that way.
    It's mainly used on a pedestrian context, though. For people driving we either say "road" or "sidewalk" and pavement could be used for either but would mainly be used for people who are walking. Wouldn't sound unusual either way though.

    Yeah that's a new sense, to me, but it's definitely not the same as the UK sense. Over here the road is the road and the pavement is the pavement, you would never call the road the pavement or you'd confuse everyone. It's the pavement *because* it's not the road, it's the bit you walk on. "Sidewalk" might be understood but if so it would be recognized as a foreign expression.

    Also, congrats on passing your test!

    DC has more than one airport, you might be thinking of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport

    When someone says "CIA Agent" they are actually saying "Central Intelligence Agency Agent"

    makes you think.

    Sometimes i'll stumble across something past me said and i don't remember saying it and i'll think, man i'd have been really intimidated by this clever person.

    Other times i'll just cringe, though.

    This thread has devolved into posting about communism after the OP showed all along that he thought he was winning and shutting down arguments.

    Inexplicable.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    uh

    this was the thread about whether quality = popularity?
