Quincy With Real Wings

Snyderverse Superman

I don't like the angle the story itself is trying to sell on him but I do think the reactions of the characters inside the story are realistic to what would happen to him in the real word.

Lex Luthor hates him because of his own internalized issues, using him as a scapegoat he can pin blame on. Pretending he hates him due to some higher purpose.

Bruce hates Superman because he doesn't understand him, and people fear what they don't understand. (and in this universe metas became common after Superman appeared so this Batman has no experience with superpowered beings, he didn't slowly increase the powerlevel of the powered being around him, he went from 0 to a 100, and that is scary)

The people who he has saved and cared for love him because they've seen him, they know him.

The people that hate him tend to be people in power or those affected by Black Zero.

He didn't get that much time to make the world know him, he was Superman for like 2 years only, compared to the 20+ he has in the comics.

He is this powerful being that sprung out of knowhere, that is bound to make people afraid, and no ones likes being afraid so they hate.

I think the most realistic part of the movie is the tv scene where people are sitting down and talking about weather he should be allowed to roam free or not.

As if it is moral to deny a sentient being freedom/ autonomy.

Because as much as it sucks to think about it is what would most likely happen if a superman appeared.

People say snyder superman is too angry or gloomy but who the fuck wouldn't if they were subject to hearing people treating them like an object and hating him?

The Kents in Death of Superman Stories

One of the most, if not the most heartbreaking thing I can think of throughout the different Death of Superman stories out there is that 90% of them are being broadcasted through television nationwide.

Which means the Kents are watching their son get bludgeoned to death by a monster, and they can't do anything to stop it.

Imagine watching your child get beaten to death and being able to do nothing but watch.

It is the Kents watching this miracle that fell into their lives get violently ripped away from them.

It is the agony of watching their child grow steadily weaker, of hearing him scream out in pain (they've never heard him scream due to physical agony like this before, they are frozen, the instinct that drives a parent to protect their child rendered useless by the situation), of seeing him covered in his own blood when they've never seen him bleed and knowing they can't do a thing.

It is seeing his body and knowing they have no real way of retrieving him, of giving him a proper burial, knowing people more powerful than them could steal his body and desecrate it, with them being able to do nothing about it.

Book Hiccup and Movie Toothless

I just want to know the opinion of book readers on how book Hiccup would react to meeting movie toothless.

Like imagine post httyd 2 Toothless drops through a portal that sends him to the bookverse, where he tracks Hiccup and instead of finding his Hiccup he finds book Hiccup (you guys are free to chose which book Hiccup is on) which confuses him because the person in front of him is clearly Hiccup but not at the same time.

What I want to know is how Book Hiccup would react to this dragon he has never seen before approaching him? Would he figure out how Toothless' saddle works? Would he be shocked by Toothless' many abilities? How would he react to Toothless' personality and protective yet teasing nature?

I ask this because i've been told there's no night fury equivalent in the books, and Hiccup regardless of the medium would love to catalogue a brand new dragon species.

Bonus points if book Toothless and movie Toothless meet.

Ghostmaker in Superbat fics

I need more Ghostmaker in Superbat fics. More of him coming in and being an annoying ex.

The tension between Bruce and him is so real, add Clark into the mix and there´s a lot of potential there.

Where´s my angsty 100k fic about them???

Just think of the possibilites!! I need this as a fic.

MOS Pa Kent and MAWS Pa Kent

I find the polar opposite depictions of Jonathan in these stories incredibly fascinating.

MOS Jonathan shields and separates Clark from anything related his heritage, including things like his ship and powers. Encouraging suppresion and caution in Clark.

Actively telling Clark to hide his powers and never use them, scolding him whenever he used them. He is a man terrified of the world taking his son away from him, specially knowing he has no real way of protecting Clark from anything that may seek to harm him. So he encourages him to hide himself and avoid drawing any attention.

He is a more jaded and cynical man, immediately assuming the world would attack and try to kill his son (he ended up being right, which is its own can of worms), would try to rip his miracle child, his star baby away from him.

He only sees a world that would harm the child he so desperately seeks to protect, that child he loves more than anything.

MAWS Jonathan is the complete opposite of his MOS counterpart. He is the one that encouraged Clark to discover himself, to make contact with the ship, to practice his use and control of his powers, even turning that into a game a young Clark could enjoy.

He is aware of the shock Clark´s existence will create but in the end he has faith in humanity seeing Clark for what he truly is, someone who just wants to help others.

He is more optimistic and cheerful, thinking of the best and encouraging other people to do so too.

In MAWS, Martha is the one who is the one who wants to keep Clark away from anything alien, the one that clings to him and wants to keep him hidden.

While Jonathan is cheerful over Clark deciding to go public and help people, Martha is the one that is slightly reluctant (though not to MOS Jonathan´s level, like letting yourself get killed by a tornado because you don´t want your son to expose himself is extreme though somewhat understandable) to let him go, though she eventually gets on board and creates his trunks.

This dicotomy is reflected on Clark´s abilities.

Flight is one of his most characteristic abilities and it often serves as a metaphor for Clark feeling free and accepted, it comes in moments where Clark learns to love and accept himself.

So it is interesting to see how in MAWS it is one of the first he obtains while in MOS it is one of the last ones. Showing the difference in how their settings and enviroments reacted to them.

MAWS is honestly amazing and I am incredibly glad we got this adaptation of the Superman mythos. It is so unique and refreshing. I can´t wait for season 3.

Regardless of its flaws I genuinely love MOS and its depiction of the Kent family. Its different from what we are used to in comics and tv shows, but it offers a unique take on the Kents dealing with Clark´s powers. At the end the day Jonathan is just a father terrified someone will hurt his child and he won´t be able to protect him.

Anyways this ramble has lasted enough, love both pieces of media to bits.

Characters Who's Blood is Power

Dark Kents

I need more of Martha and Jonathan being willing fight with nails and teeth for their son. They adore him, he is their miracle child that fell from the sky, their little star.

Being willing to do anything to protect their child, to guard his identity and heart.

I want them getting angry at seeing Clark cry over being perceived as a monster.

They own a farm, that's a great opportunity for getting creative with their protectiveness.

I want this as a fic (preferably with a dash of superbat, because they are my north star)

Meanwhile Clark is oblivious to it all, because his parents are the sweetest people ever.

Yhwach and Adnyeus

I know we all joke (specially in the Bleach subreddit) about Adnyeus regretting siring Yhwach and how he is ashamed of him.

But I don't think it is all a joke, because a father that loved his child would never create a new world and then make it so his child would have to kill other people in order to live. Would have never intentionally create a world where his child and his people did not belong, did not fit in.

No loving parent would abandon their child in a completely new world with such alien concept as death all alone with no explanation.

Adnyeus had the power and knowledge to chose differently, but he didn't and really what does that say about him?

Yhwach grew in a world with no death but then was suddenly and forcefully de aged, had all of his senses stolen from him and had to come to the realization that he now needed to kill (a completely new concept to him) in order to survive.

I don't think Yhwach was born evil or delusional, but that everything he went through, everything he saw and experienced changed him.

And even after everything Yhwach still held some love for his father even if it was burried deep beneath several layers of hate and resentment.

Yhwach is in my opinion completely justified in having beef with his dad (doesn't justify the mass murder of countless souls though).

Conclusion Yhwach has daddy issues.

Aizen's Anime Depiction

I know there's been a lot of contention regarding how Aizen has been portrayed in the anime. With it making him more emotional and seemingly less stoic and in control. He looks more (for a lack of of a better word) vulnerable than he did in the manga and previous anime.

Which has caused a lot of fans who viewed Aizen as this emotionally invulnerable character that can never express anything true and is always walled off to feel discontent with how he's being depicted.

But I personally like the anime's take way more.

Let me explain: Aizen has been in a sensory depravation cell for more than 2 years completely restrained and lacking any human contact. For those who don't know sensory depravation and isolation are torture methods, which means Aizen has been essentially tortured none stop for 2+ years at this point.

Arrogant asshole or not that is bound to take a toll, a heavy one at that. It never made any sense to me how Aizen seems perfectly fine in the manga after what is basically physchological torture.

His more reserved and tense personally fits so much better in my opinion. He is still the asshole we all know and love but his time in muken has affected him.
