Discussion/Writing Post

[dceu_kinkmod]

This post is for everything that's not prompts, fills or comments on prompts/fills. You can discuss the movies or trailers or headcanons here, but you can also use this as a writing post: talk about fic ideas you've had (whether they're based on kinkmeme prompts or not), brainstorm with others, bounce ideas off someone, or post snippets you've written to get some feedback. Or even just some cheerleading and support while you write. You can also use this post to find a beta.

Basically: if it doesn't go on the prompt post, you can do it here.

Prompt post #1 is here. All non-DCEU prompts go here.

Re: What do you guys think of DC's Rebirth so far?

I'm only pulling WW and Flash, read the 80pg, and read some summaries about other series. So this is mostly general thoughs. May be some spoilers ahead.

The 80pg was full of ~feels~ but I'm torn about the Watchmen tie in. It felt like it was 70pgs of DC apologizing for the New 52, then saying "but it wasn't out fault"

I know some people are upset about the fact that they're bringing back a lot of straight, white male characters. But I think DC is making the most out of a bad situation where they never should've retconned the existence of those characters in the first place. I don't think people would've been quite so upset about the New 52 if they hadn't wiped so many characters from history. Sure fans will be upset if you kill off a characte/take them out of superhero-ing and inreoduce a new one, but it doesn't invalidate everything those characters have done, like the New 52 did.

It is a shame that more diverse POC/female/queer characters aren't in the spotlight right now, but they *still exist* in the current canon. There shouldn't be any reason for creative teams to not use them (barring editiorial BS), if fans show demand and support those titles that do have diverse casts (plugging Earth 2: Society. Art has taken a hit since Jorge Jimenez left the title, but it's got SUCH a great, diverse cast).

I do have issues with a some things, mainly how the transition in the Super-books was handled, but they were such a meas in the New 52 anyways that I'm mot sure anything else would've been better. Writing out nu!Supes and Superboy like that did leave a bad taste in my mouth though.

BTW, if you're looking for comics talk, I've found the DCComics subreddit to be a pretty good place. Pretty relaxed atmosphere, and the posters were super helpful in helping me to understand comics and recommend reading.
