Intends to do stop-motion fan films and reviews of various things on YouTube. Needs to actually get around to doing it. Figured I'd come here to talk with people in a few fandoms, make blog posts about what's on my mind, and give a few opinions on some stuff, mostly comic related. I also draw from time to time and occasionally do toy photography. I'd like to truly understand all sides of fandom, by exploring all sides of fandom.

I know it's already the second, but I'd still like to wish everyone in the lgbtq+ community a Happy Pride month. I hope everyone lives a long and happy life, openly being who you are.

Again, for a kids line, Mattel's DC Core line doesn't look too shabby

Though that's like six Batmen: the wave one release, one in each multi-pack, and one packed with the Batmobile. Two Robin's: for wave one, and one with a motorcycle... plus Nightwing, which makes it arguably three if you want to count him... and for villains, they made Joker, Croc, Clayface, and now Bane and Freeze (Also Deathstroke is in wave one, but I don't count him all a Batman villain)

It's more than a little too Batman focused, and it'd be nice to get at least one female character (still no Wonder Woman), but they look pretty solid, and it inspires confidence in the collector line. Again, it looks like something kids (or other people, I'm not judging, these look fun) will have plenty of fun with these, and they'll be nice placeholders in a collection until Mattel puts out something for collectors.

Spoiler for X-Men '97 Season 2, from a leaked trailer

So I complained before about Jubes being in her Gen X outfit, despite Gen X not being there... turns out, we'll actually see some of them. Apparently, here's Monet!

That's... yeah, that’s uh... No, just no.

Why is this such an issue for her and Beto?

I feel like plenty of people know that Uncle Ben saying, "With great power, comes great responsibility," wasn't originally the case in the comics, as it was just the narrator saying it... But they don't seem to know that it being Ben who said it still comes from the comics, and no, I don't mean the Ultimate Universe.

In "Spider-Man Versus Wolverine," released in 1987, Peter directly attributes the quote as Uncle Ben's words. Yes, it's a light retcon, but it still means that Ben saying it comes from 616 canon and not an adaptation or alternate universe. I also saw some people say there may be earlier instances, but I'm not sure what they could be.

I really like seeing Spidey and Logan together and enjoy them as surprisingly good friends. They play off each other well, have great banter, and it's just a whole lot of fun.

I just realized... Jubes is in the first version of the Generation X uniform. Despite Gen X not being in the show, and they got the color wrong...

I fucking hate it here...

[zedreh]

The show continues to piss me off...

Like, you don't have to be 100% accurate to the comics, but come on, you didn't even try!

You've got only two of the actual original X-Force members (comic Cable, not pictured) and put Jubilee on the wrong team!

So I just remembered the Lego CMF Huntress minifigure. Interesting that it's based on Helena Wayne.

I love Venom. I don't talk about Venom enough.

So, season 2 of X-Men '97 is coming out eventually this year. No trailer yet, but it's coming...

I still fucking hate this guy

I'm experimenting with a head for Harry Osborn. The hair is temporary because there's actually a custom hair piece made specifically for the Osborns that's perfect. I was mainly trying to see what I could do with pieces I had on hand.

I also built a glider based mainly on the art of the late Sal Buscema

I just realized that the last time Harry Osborn, as The Green Goblin, was adapted, was The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014.

Which is kinda disappointing...

Well, I took the Man of Steel Lois Lane and swapped her head and hair, and now I have a Lois that fits well enough with my more comic focused collection

I only had a notepad and a pen to give her

Now I just need the rest of the Daily Planet staff and other important characters

[zedreh]

I really like this type of image for Peter's relationships

[zedreh]

Isn't this a two-seater? How are they all going to fit? Is Tim just climbing behind the seat?

My favorite line of dialogue in any comic
