Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League: Gotham City Breakout
why does every dc lego movie understand the characters on a deeper fundamental level than their live action ones
Cause they’re made by actual fans who like to joke about their faves instead of edgy dudebros who only stan the stalest, most #Twisted™ versions of the characters?
*sees art* oh wow this is so cool, i really like it
*sees artist’s name* now hold on,
I was curious so I looked in to this. Different Justin. He was @voodoochicken here on tumblr, but he has left and he now goes by thoughtographic on wordpress, twitter, and instagram.
is that a third, distinct justin mcelroy from the reporter that regularly gets his mail sent to podcaster justin mcelroy by mistake?
Why are so many stories by straight white men just:
He woke up at 3pm. He had a hangover and an erection. He thought about the hot woman he’d met at the bar. She had ruby lips and a bosom that heaved like a drunk sailor. He smoked 83 cigarettes and thought about his father.
He went to the kitchen and made some toast, because he was a man and didn’t own an oven. It was 5pm by the time he left the house to buy 16 bottles of whisky and some cigarettes. The world was as dark as his soul. No one had ever known pain like his. Not since she’d left him.
He went back to his bedsit and drank 4 bottles of whisky and thought about legs as long as time itself and also had some more original thoughts about how love and death are the same thing, really. He went to bed at 4am and smoked 12 cigarettes in his sleep. The end.
You’ve never read anything before ever… have you?
No, never
Don’t you also have a degree in books? And i think i own like two books with your name on them? That i think makes you what the news would call an authority on the subject.
Oh shit yeah, I forgot about that
I wrote a book and I have an MA in super old books and narrative theory
does that count as reading
I wanna know where tf you’re finding these books, maybe I only read YA fantasy and refuse to even touch whatever highbrow shit you’re roasting here.
Or she could be… lying…
But she’s read more books and is therefor smarter than any of us!
I read a lot of books and never read anything resembling that. Maybe she just has terrible taste.
If you read 150 books and they were like the example…You dunno how to pick out books…I’ve read some BAD books before but none of them resemble that example at all…
“I haven’t read a book like that, so they don’t exist.”
My good bitches, has it occurred to you that things exist outside your frame of reference? I haven’t visited Pompeii but I’m pretty sure it exists. I’ve never read any Tolstoy but I don’t think the existence of his books is an elaborate hoax. The world is not your experience. You have lived a tiny fraction of it, and accidentally pointing that out in a misguided attempt to insult someone else for their own experience, which doesn’t correlate with your own, just makes you look even more ignorant. Nothing makes you look more myopic than assuming that every single human shares your experience and deriding them for it when you can’t share their reference points because you’ve lived a limited life.
Just one cursory glance at the notes on this post would provide you with literally dozens of people giving examples of books which follow this formula. Two of my most recent posts are book rec lists, which show that I don’t habitually read books like this. At any point, you could have taken perhaps 10 seconds to find that out, and you would have realised how pointless and inaccurate your snarky little comments were, and how pathetic it would make you look to form your weird little naysayer club on a post which is, frankly, just a dig at Albert Camus and Bukowski. Honestly, you’re like Regina George with none of the charisma.
But no, it’s much easier to try and score cool points on tungle dot hell by pointing out a perceived flaw in the OP without doing even the slightest due diligence to ensure that you haven’t in fact made yourself look about as insightful as a sack of old curds.
Oh, well, it’s funny that you say “The world is not your experience! You’re just living a fraction of it.”, but then generalize books by white male authors as being all the same.
I wasn’t aware that ‘so many’ meant 'all’.
1) This whole thread is gold
2) “Honestly, you’re like Regina George with none of the charisma.” is my new favourite burn.
