The Robin fanbase is kind of insane at points, now Tim's fanbase I've never had issues with, EVERY OTHER ROBIN though......I dealt with some crazy on this site.
Tim is actually my favorite Robin so bias, but Dick's Nightwing series is A HUGE favorite of mine too and I love NTT. Jason I had issues with and I like Damian when he's a double act. SO I like the Robins, but if you say something nice about one OTHERs feel it takes away. Image
I tell you a story I did a Tim thread and got a Dick Stan, during the entire THREAD, I never once insulted Dick Grayson or anything else. I just pointed to key facts like Tim was the first Robin to get a solo title, and what writers TENDED to emphasize and write with him. Image
But the Dick fan INSISTED I WAS WRONG and somehow I insulted Dick's place, I even told them straight up this, I think the REASON Batman didn't fade from the public IS DICK Grayson as Robin, but Dick never had a solo title as Robin. Image
Anyway I think the big problem is that Tim is often even now in the comics been said to be one of Batman's best robin and partners and there is at least seeds of that in many comics, but somehow saying this means that JASON and DICK, JUST SUCK. Image
so the other fanbases get defensive, but I also hear Tim is boring and I always felt that was a disservice to him, because I found HIM MORE INTERESTING as Robin.....because he wasn't just a copy of Dick as Robin or Jason with HIS UNIQUE elements. He's a normal kid. Image
But Jason fans like Jason and they feel that HE never got the right treatment and I get it but at the same time Jason WAS MASSIVELY TWEAKED over his existence and given several portrayal to figure him out and Tim and Dick didn't have it that bad. Image
anyway so the point is the Tim Drake fanbase is bad because he is their favorite Robin and they state facts about the comics. It's a joy.

This is one of those comics that make sense to people who actually have friends
The idea of a punk settling down into a more normal looking dude is actually a very real thing.
Like if you know people
*they probably met because of either a mutual friend or she decided to date him as a lark
*they find it works but he has to tone down shit because of her other friends or family
*finally propose
*you have a kid time to look semi respectable

So this is one of the most INFAMOUS costumes of all time, but like many things we make fun of there is a STORY behind it, and today I will tell you that story.
Back during the 90's Tom Delfalco and artist Paul Ryan came in on FF, talking to editor Ralph Machio they laid out a long term idea of the FF that the run would try to subvert readers expectations and bunch of it was going to be laid on Sue Storm.
the idea was to help SHAKE up the dynamics of the team, and Sue would be used in a couple ways the long term plan was she was GOING to become the leader of the FF while Reed was "dead" for a long time and he would come back and that would CAUSE conflict.

So finished Picard some thoughts.
The good
-solid plot at least, it's very much written as a long star trek movie that happens to be 10 hours instead of 2 but it's paced well
-new characters are good
-It feels like it draws on star trek history
-Jack Crusher is honestly a good lead and who ever thought of making him basically Kirk, good job that's a good way to contrast Picard.
-the build up to the reunion is well handled and Data new's life is handled very well, the last scene with lorre 10/10.
bad
-the production still reyling on that JJ lens flare style is eh, and it really is more annoying then dynamic but not the worst
-it not completely stand alone from the first two seasons but it was easy to follow at least and it's not hard to get into.

I'm not a fan of it but not because of the changed ending overall, it's more the tone of it, to me Watchmen is a story of uncertainty. Your kind of supposed to question who is right and wrong.
Like the ending bit for me is not getting rid of the squid, the BIG is Nite Owl beating up Ozy for leading to Rorshaque's death feel cheap to me to give the audience something because the MOVIE really plays him up as more a pure bad guy.
to me with Watchmen the questions should be is Rorschach right? Is Ozy right? Is Nite Owl right? is Doc right? and the movie kind of just slots them into Ozy evil the rest not pure heoric but better then Ozy

Sigh, the reason for the prevalence is simply because Superman is the first superhero, he more or less and created the genre as we know today for better or worse, so his image is subverted because for many decades it was the standard Symbol of the whole genre
Like Superman has existed since 1938 and had his ups and downs depending on the year and decade. The truth is and this is a fact he just hasn’t had a big movie that most people like because that seems to be the way success in media is now, you have to have a good movie
Dc isn’t as protective of Superman like you say if he was then his portrayal in dark knight returns would not exist. Hell in my lifetime 4 redos of his origins existed
