Someone's not thrilled with the reboot

[grouchinleather]

It's gone from a cute joke to insulting to overpriced kindling. Stop it. That isn't me, and that sure as hell isn't Apollo or Jenny Q or the Engineer or even Hawksmoor. Even when we were stuck on all those alternate earths, it was still some sort of broken funhouse mirror version of us. I refuse to acknowledge that "bwahaha" world exists. This isn't even close.

Now flip to that last page so I can see whose skulls I need to crack.

I'm wearing fucking pigtails.

[The horror.]

[grouchinleather]

[O hai there daughter.] Really, that's the part you're gonna focus on?

You have worn pigtails before, you know.

[cutestcentury]

[Oh hi daddy] You want me to focus on the fact that you're not my parents anymore?

Yeah, because dad has the same taste in hairdos he has with music. Made me look even younger.

[unantichristly]

Mun had a feelin' it was gonna' be bad from some of the pictures. She's too scared to read it.

[grouchinleather]

Clearly yours is smarter than mine, kid. Never seen someone continually buy something she hates.

[unantichristly]

Are you an' Apollo even gonna' be married eventually in it?

[escarabajo]

Hey, I'm not happy with the reboot, either. [He ran away from home. This Jaime Reyes would never run away from home. :c]

But this is a problem that most likely can't be fixed with punching things.

[grouchinleather]

[Yeah, you'd also never stab your best friend either.]

Trust me on this one, everything can be solved through violence.

[escarabajo]

[Or backhand his other best friend.]

Even if they're problems with, like, editorial? I only know of one guy who could punch through the fourth wall like that and he's kinda not in on this whole New 52 stuff as far as I know.

[voodooing]

At least you're not a clone or not clone test subject thing. I'm not even really sure what I'm supposed to be anymore and my mun has completely given up.

hfgsafkjhkj real Priscilla!

[grouchinleather]

At least you get to enjoy reading about you punching you in the face repeatedly.

Have you seen what they did to Cash?

the only kind that should exist. why DC why?

[voodooing]

I don't even know which one to go for, they're both pretty horrible and not me. At all.

...I think he may have gotten the worst deal of us all. Which uh, is actually kinda accurate. So, I guess we can say they got one thing right in this reboot: they gave Cole the worst end of the deal.

As amusing as I find it that the reboot version of you is Edward Cullen in a leather gimp suit, it's not amused enough to over look that this version of me starts off looking like an actor out of a bad military-themed porno.

[grouchinleather]

You're giving him too much credit. It's more like a teenager who got his gimp suit at Hot Topic.

What, don't like the combat boots over your unitard, honey?

[tochasethesun]

[Snort.] Oh god that chin spike, I bet that makes post-battle adrenaline nookie awkward.

I was more alluding to the buzz cut, ripped shirt, and jeans, but the combat boots are pretty hideous too.

[voiceofauthority]

[She gives no fucks about the reboot since they're not screwing her up.]

I wish my mun would get these. It sounds dammed hilarious.

[grouchinleather]

[She may not give any fucks about the reboot, but they most certainly fucked up her canon. Her shirt was in the ship's collection room. That means Jenny Sparks spent her entire life with Stormwatch, working under some shadow lords' thumb.]

Don't make me kill you again with fake-me's chin spike.

[voiceofauthority]

[So not cool. If she knew that she'd be griping too.]

I think that's the best way to deal with this idiocy. Just label them failed clones and call it a day.

[re_engineer]

Yeah. My mun just kept reading bits on scans_daily and decided that it doesn't exist. EVER.

[grouchinleather]

Yours is smarter than mine.

Out of all of us you fared the best. Hawksmoor's shoddy character hasn't been assassinated yet either...then again he hasn't tried taking over America, so this one might be an improvement.

[re_engineer]

I don't know, Midnighter. My mun pretty much cringes every time she has to read anything about that Stormwatch thing. Apparently she was less than impressed with the idea of me trying to rally votes to be leader in the middle of a mission.

Okay. She's not the only one.

[bodilesswarrior]

Well, that's a bit brutal.

I can coordinate.

[grouchinleather]

Not that I need coordination, but sure I'll make you feel useful--you didn't fare much better than we did, cripple. [The Midnighter, master of tact.]

[robinspoiling]

You know, at this point? I'm kinda glad I'm not around.

[grouchinleather]

It's only a matter of time, kid. Word on the street is they only retconned that hideous Robin suit out of your past.
