Yeah, you know what? I'm glad you're enjoying reading, and there is some promise, at least in Metropolis. Maybe one day I'll even be pleased about it all.

Just don't take me into the reboot.

Comments

[superwoman]

Ah, yes. The reboot. No one deserves that.

[wherethestoryis]

Not to say our family wasn't royally screwed before then, but--

[arach_nerd]

I know that feel Lo.

[wherethestoryis]

Yeah, I heard about that. My mun was saying something about an editor's daughter.

[bodysings]

I'm pretty glad my mun stays away from all that crap. It's like the writers just grabbed all the old comics and waved a fuck-it-up wand over it.

[wherethestoryis]

Mine's avoided the Gotham stories like the plague--says she's terrified of what they've done to it. But Metropolis has been okay. ...mostly.

[superwoman]

Royally screwed? That's an understatement.

[wherethestoryis]

'Cosmically screwed into the next millenium' sound better?

[superwoman]

Sounds more along the lines of what it should be, yes.

[wherethestoryis]

At least the most screwed you've been in this reboot is Clark failing to pick you up at the airport, I think? That's better than before.

[viced]

Shit, who even wants to talk about that fucking reboot? Other than, you know, angry fans.

[wherethestoryis]

My mun's had a lot of fun with parts of it. And parts have been fun for me. But not today.

[viced]

Well, shit, at least there's some fun. Maybe I'm just set in my ways, but I don't think I could read it.

[wing_of_night]

Yeah. I think it's kind of unanimous. The reboot just plain sucks.

[wherethestoryis]

Something's always going to suck, there aren't enough good writers to go around.

[viced]

I'm sure they're trying very, very hard, whether they're succeeding or not, mm, I'm sure there are guys with more time than I have to fuck around with stats.

[wherethestoryis]

My mun keeps saying no, it isn't unanimous--she and friends of hers have parts they like, and parts they don't. And I gotta agree. One guy nailed how my friendship with Clark and Jimmy works.

I'm just pissed that apparently being human isn't good enough these days.

[wing_of_night]

I hear that. But hey, come to Gotham sometime. I'll get Batman to set up my old training course. Before long you'll be throwing batarangs like second nature.

[Wink.]

[wherethestoryis]

He didn't let me at that when he was teaching me self-defense.

Way to dig for brownie points.

[wherethestoryis]

We got through the nightmare my mun calls the 'Silver Age.' I'll hang in there for a bit.

[viced]

Hey! There's nothing wrong with the fucking Silver Age, those stories were classic!

[wherethestoryis]

...You do remember what they did to me, right?

[viced]

Well, yeah, but that was the time when I was more interested in the action.

There's some nostalgia there.

[wherethestoryis]

Your nostalgia is my thankfully-banished nightmare. If they try it again, there will be blood.

[viced]

At least things got better? Ish? You know, until this shit came in. But I just don't like that much change in my comics.
