beccaelizabethAt the end of disc three.
I wrote a really long post ranting on what they keep doing to DCU characters.
But then I hid it because either I get over it and watch or I decide it's a dealbreaker and don't watch.
... I'm veering towards don't watch right now.
But I pretty much like the plots and the characters that are new enough to me.
I continue to be epic bored by the island but I worked out that's because I am, as ever, epic bored by Oliver, and I'm used to being bored by the guy who thinks the show is about him. Except in Doctor Who. So, okay, I'll continue to watch those bits fast.
I'm just annoyed that they keep the names and strip everything important about the characters. Especially when those important things include ethnicity and class.
It also bugs me the way they juggle generations. It only ever detracts from the stories, so why do that? Why compress everyone to be in the same narrow band of ages? Boring much?
I want to go write my version. Not, currently, more than I want to put the next disc in, but that has as much to do with procrastinating on scary paperwork as anything else.
... I'm kind of sulking. :eyeroll:
... yeah, at this rate I'm going back to watching Marvel and liking it.
