And if I said Megamind is one of the few movies that understands Superman.

And if I said Megamind through its three subversions of Superman shows a deeper understanding that the point of Superman is that he was loved and taught to love by good, present parents, and because of that he is able to return that love to a world even if it doesn't always accept it, and he is not corrupted by his power, than many other films either subverting or playing the superman story straight.

Megamind has three Superman subversions. One is obviously Megamind himself. He was not raised loved by the world, but rather was loved by those hated by the world. Because he was still raised with love, he does care about other people, hence his character development. But because he didn't receive wider love growing up, his own is misplaced at first.

Metro Man was not loved growing up in a way that mattered. His adopted father was clearly very absent, and while we don't know much about his family, their relationship seems superficial. Because of this, his sense of duty to the world is also superficial, hence his boredom.

Hal wasn't raised with power. He gained it and was shown how to use it by a 'space dad' who only taught him power and not love. Hence, he sees it only as a grasping means to an end.

All three of these subversions, in their negative space, create the silhouette of the superhero that they are parodying. That silhouette is of a space child that came to earth and was cared for very deeply by the world, and taught love through his experience of love, and because of that holds fast to his duty to the world. Which is Superman.

Sometimes Red Hood does some work for Batman

#yes now give me this in cannon #dc i know u can do it dont play me #batman #dc comics

I was thinking bruce pov but i relate to that crusty old man too much.. it’ll turn into a bruce-centric fic which is not what it is… maybe a jason pov instead…

I am so very hyped for supergirl. I forgot about it for a while but recently saw some buzz online and got excited again. It looks like such a good and fun movie, and I’d trust James Gunn to direct literally anything

#supergirl #supergirl movie #ive got admittedly high hopes but me gunn has yet to let me down #every time i say to myself ‘theres no way he’ll pull off making that cool and fun’#and then every.single.time his movies are a delight and SO. rewatchable which is hard to say about most movies these days #i swear one day theyll sell box sets of all his superhero movies and i will buy it #classics in the making every time he directs something #james gunn

Going to be working on a Brucie chapter and I’m debating exactly what level of unhinged I can get away with making him while staying believable to the plot 🤭

If you're a writer you're supposed to write a lot of bullshit. It's part of the gig. You have to write a lot of absolute garbage in order to get to the good bits. Every once in a while you'll be like "Oh, I wish I hadn't wasted all that time writing bullshit," but that's dumb. That's exactly the same as an Olympic runner being like "Oh, I wish I hadn't wasted all that time running all those practice laps"

So Morrowind has these messages that pop up when you level up that aren't just like "wow you're so epic" but actually kind of relevant to like aging and growing as a person. My favorite one, that feels really relevant (couldn't find a screenshot): "It's all suddenly obvious to you. You just have to concentrate. All the energy and time you've wasted -- it's a sin. But without the experience you've gained, taking risks, taking responsibility for failure, how could you have understood?" Like yeah, it feels like I've wasted a lot of time on projects that may never be finished, or pursuits that I ultimately decided weren't for me. But I've learned so much just by engaging with the process of creating, I wouldn't be the same if I hadn't.
