(Okay these aren’t in any real order)
5. Stop telling me women ‘Have to die to keep the universe intact’ I’m so tired of this. Like, I may have gotten shitty women representation in my trashy YA novels/shows but AT LEAST I dealt with less shitty writers patting themselves on the back over why a woman HAD to stay dead. Y’all can bring back White Boy Vandal Savage (Yes, I’m calling him that because this is the first time I’ve ever seen him be...not at least slightly tan (Remember he was a Neanderthal in comics, which IIRC they had lightish skin)) Damien Dark, Hawkman, and Eobard Thawne all you want, but NOO, I gotta hear all about how Miranda, Nora Allen**, Shado*, Taiana*, and Laurel all had to die ‘for the greater good’.
*THEY DIDN’T EVEN DIE IN THE COMICS
**Neither did she until stupid ass Geoff Johns ‘Barry Allen doesn’t have enough tragedy in his life-no his wife ‘dying’, him dying, his kids dying doesn’t count. retconned it.
4. Yeah, I kinda have to agree that Flashpoint deserved more episodes. It just did.
3. Stop using Batman villains, Arrow. I was okay with Deathstroke because it’s fuckin Deathstroke and you got a great dude to play him. (Although how the hell was Grant white in that future episode??? LOL???) And I can forgive Suicide Squad because tying that in with Diggle and Lyta made sense and was all around a good move. But it’s just...GA has great villians. Komodo, Onomatopoeia (Seriously WTF is he???), Fuckin Rich PeopleTM, Constintine Drakon, etc. You don’t NEED Ra’s Al Ghul or any a’ that crap. Also Tobias Church was wasted.
2. I’m gonna put ‘Stop killing/shoving off’ PoC/LGBT/Ladies/Jewish characters with ‘Give them some GD respect and proper storylines’. Cmon. Really. Let them have the spotlight every once in awhile. And let the gay couples kiss onscreen. Cmon.
1. I’M NOT putting the ‘whitewashing and the other related bullshit’ in the same category, though. Because as much as 2 infuriates me, I have to deal with that in other shows. I s2g I have never seen this much whitewashing/making CoC heroes into villains as much as this show. Like, most of it is blatently obvious, like Cindy should be Rroma, Linda Park is Korean, Ra’s Al Ghul is Chinese, etc. But see, I’m a comic fan. So I notice OTHER bullshit like Al Rothstein is Jewish, Taiana is Fijian, and Carter is half Cherokee. It all just piles up into one big mess. (And really, you uh, couldn’t get Egyptians to play Kendra, Carter, and Vandal to play them in the past? Not even have the excuse of ‘Vandal’s white because he’s ALSO reincarnated?) Also, stop using the excuse of ‘this is a different version’. No, you casting a white passing Latina as a biracial Vietnamese character (and then turning it around and saying “Well, I KNOW we said repeatedly that we were basing her on YJ Artemis, but we’ve changed our minds and are now giving her (the sole non main woman and 2nd woman in the cast) the betrayal plot so she’s a bad guy, like her white comic book counterpart!”), a Chinese woman should not be playing a Korean AND a Japanese woman (And also you can’t say ‘We didn’t want to do the male villain because he’s a rapist’ because the TTGO! cartoon still uses him. If a kid’s show can detach itself some stupid aspects of canon so can you) who’s now suddenly a villain. And White Canary is Chinese. You know it’s bullshit.
