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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Welcome to the second Part of the Kamen Rider thread the secret stuff I had planed.....ALL THE WEIRD extra related crap that would distract from talking about the main stuff the first thread is 101, this is more 201. So lets get to the next semester.
Now let's talk about MOVIES. I decided to skip a couple riders for various reasons because the tv shows are the main meat of the franchise and the face, this is more extra, short, and supplemental, also....I'm going to be talking about certain....things.
First up after RX ended Kamen Rider went on an extended hiatus during the 90's, and so no new tv was made....but there were 3 movies made, one feature length the other two half that length,these are often lumped together.
So I was asked to have a thread on Kamen Rider, and here it is, the Exalted Speed Guide to Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider is a classic Japanese Franchise that has been around since 1971, spearheaded by Toei and manga creator Shotaro Ishinomori.
The creation of Kamen Rider goes something a little like this, after creating the anti hero manga one shot Skullman Inshinimori was asked to maybe develop it into a show, this didn't exactly happen but that DNA made it into some early concepts and other Rider's over the decades.
After feeling it was too dark, the skull motif was dropped and after trying a couple different motif, Ishinimori's son pointed out a grasshopper to him and the rest shall we say is history, The grasshopper motif was chosen and the show found it's themes, and started production.
First I do APOLOGIZE for posting an edit panel. I fucked up. Second. I like how the post say's it's written by Molly Ostertag when that is not true, she is the artist of Strong Female Protagonist and it's Brennan Lee Mulligan who is the actual writer.
but the webcomic was always up for free just never a huge priority because I can boil down it's problem to a superhero deconstruction that ignores other work to try and be and pretend that superheroes have not been handling these issues since the 60's.
like it's subversion of material was always a bit old hat and the way it handles somethings make the material a very broken story about college superheroes. It tries but man it ain't nothing I haven't seen before.
Explaining details like that is up to the author and story, and sometimes it's better to leave those details to readers, who tf is paying for all this matters little when what important is what the character finds important, details like this only matter if your story benifits
plus GOING what about poop, look most people find that gross to talk about and frankly to read about. If you think pluming is important then you can kind of get that if there able to make SOLID buildings then I think plumbing can be solved.
