i will never get over the amount of people who just hate female characters in comics and movies for no fucking reason. like it's not their fault they're undeveloped in the writing because they don't get the same attention as men.

i get so goddamn pissed whenever people talk about loving Gambit but hating Rogue because she's "boring" when 1) they've never read her comics 2) they don't know ANYTHIGN ABOUT HER other than her being a love interest for Gambit.

Rogue is one of my favourite Marvel characters if not my ABSOLUTE favourite. And if you ONLY know her from the Gambit comics, then you're doing yourself a disservice. She can come across as whiney in a lot of those because "woe is me we can't touch and can't be intimate" wah wah wah. Like it isn't her fault a straight man wrote most of their romance stories. jesus.

Kind of annoying me all over again that in current continuity Alfred left all of his money to Dick to use it for good works or whatever.

Like…dude…Jason is FROM Crime Alley! A place that is STILL CALLED CRIME ALLEY.

Alfred: I love all of the children equally.

Alfred’s Will: And to Dick Grayson, my rock, my beautiful child, my firstborn, I leave to you all of my billions because I know you will use it wisely.

Alfred’s Will: And to the rest of you, here are several of those little bags of buttons that come with winter coats. Please split them equally. I know you will use them wisely.
