I might have missed it. Love that the Flash and AoS willing to dig deep.

The Flash is pretty good at doing that. Even if it is cameos.
Flash was damn near close to becoming The Flash and Firestorm .
You could feel the Geoff.

I'm okay with this because Firestorm needs that push. DC should forget Cyborg and push Firestorm.
Star Wars Battlefront real life mod 4K 60FPS.

Looks like loads of people got it, just nobody bothered to answer my question and I was too lazy to search lol.
Shame they've already killed of Strucker and the
original
EDIT: Yes, I perpetually confuse
Gorgon and Kraken.
Yeah but still fuck Arrow, I just don't like the show or anyone in it. And can't understand why so many are thirsty over a generic chick
Especially if it is Jason, Cyborg should stay in the Titans lane.
Gorgon got better but hasn't been seen
Unreal
I was wondering why they're so quick to push Cyborg so much. I kinda like Cyborg, still...

Slay and I have been talking up Vibe for years. It's good to see everyone taking notice.
I never liked Arrow.
Jason is such a great character. Where is Firestorm in the comics right now?
Honestly couldn't say I read like the first 3 issues of the new 52 reboot and nothing sinse.
Since we are getting Kyle Green Lantern over John Green Lantern, DC needed a brother and Cyborg is the most recognizable in DC for non comic readers.
Well yeah, I get that people will recognize Cyborg thanks to TT, TTG and even Injustice in a way. I don't have too much of a problem with it, though.

You need to be reading anything that has to do with the Robins right now. They're letting the birdies fly.

Did another write-up for Underground Hip-Hop this year. It's not as extensive as last year's, but I still spent a lot of time on it.

I don't usually get mad at GAF itself, but I'm getting real tired of all the thread-shitting I'm seeing this week.
"Why are there so many Donald Trump threads?"
Because he dominates a large part of current pop culture.
"Why are there so many Star Wars threads?"
Because it dominates a large part of current pop culture.
"Why are there so many Marvel threads?"
Because it dominates a large part of current pop culture.
People usually post this shit because they either: A) Legitimately don't understand why these things are so popular or B) They know exactly why, but they just wanna be that coold dude that's so above it all.
The former is kinda likely considering most Gaffers are either middle-aged and/or unable to tell what's relevant at the moment but the latter seems more likely. I don't know why considering no one's gonna give you a big blue ribbon that says "Most Special Snowflake on GAF" for pretending to not understand why lots of people care about certain things./rant

How hard is it to skip a thread and find one you want to post in?
after the whole time fuckup with Brother Eye and that Future shit, then the DC reformat after the last Crisis shit, I havent seen Firestorm, and that's fine with me because they basically have resorted to "passionate, obstinate jock who controls Firestorm, and the black dude he ignores, who acts as his conscience".
They need to let Jason be Jason away from Ronnie. I was psyched they were bringing Ronnie back, back in the day because Firestorm was one of my favorites growing up. But be careful what you wish for because they brought him back only for me to learn to hate him.
The awful, sad truth
Like I haven't seen Jessica Jones yet or entered into any of the threads so I dunno if people are doing a poor job of arguing their criticisms. However, someone can fundamentally disagree that a work is well written, directed, etc. and that it bring the work down for them. "I think work X is fundamentally flawed in manner y" is a fine minority opinion to have - you just gotta back it up (as with positive opinions as well). Are people just not doing that?
Considering even people in here are expressing exasperation about the number of these sorts of thread, I don't think anything about this is abnormal. I usually just avoid posting in threads where I have no interest in making a real contribution though. I mean I may also feel "why is this the 5454344th thread on this topic?" but if I enter a thread to say that, I make an effort to also actually contribute to the conversation as well. Then again, say absolutely nothing means the number of these sorts of threads will just proliferate. If you think that is annoying or frustrating, saying nothing won't help. Though perhaps in those instance it might be better to send a polite memo to a mod rather than be rude in a thread.

Tim Drake recently clocked Dick in the mouth because Dick was being himself.
Ronnie was always kind of a jerk.
I think it's on Netflix now. I considered adding it to my list...
I don't think I added it.
Somebody really should do this.
If people don't like an amount of threads about something on GAF, I'd much rather they talk to a mod about it than go into the thread just to say "Why is this a thread, aren't I so cool for interrupting your little circlejerk?" But apparently that's just too hard for some people.

Very few, you know the ones that give thought out criticism are drowned by those that don't
There are some who tend to give decent reason why they either like something or don't. Unfortunately, it's drowned out by those who are louder and just type out "x sucks because I say so."
Eh. They think they're just doing their "freedom of speech" thing and assume that they can type anything without repercussions.
one of the best parody accounts on Twitter.
It really is, and unlike most ti gets better with time.

I have always and will always despise Tim Drake.

Nothing about him has ever stood out for me, aside from him being annoying.

Tim Drake is the best Robin.
So you never read anything involving him
Not really.
I mean being worst robin is like being the least tastiest golden oreo
they are all good, this one is just a bit bland and derivative of the first two golden oreos, and doesn't really have anything you unique going for it
I have , he's not as interesting as the other robins
He has nothing unique going for him.
He some how has achieved a state more vanilla than robin 1.
You misspelled Damian Wayne.
I remember when Tim Drake having actual detective skills was a thing.

Someone who gets it.
EDIT: I'll give you this, he was slightly more interesting than Jason as Robin but Jason as Red Hood > Tim as Red Robin. (Before the New 52 anyway, now they're both garbage-tier.)
These are some shit opinions but I don't blame you since DC editorial has done all but retcon Tim out of existence as far as I'm concerned.
Fuck Identity Crisis, fuck his Nu52 backstory.
WAT? Nah fam, and Damian knows that Tim is the worst
Just walk up to tim like " hey tim why are you the filler arc of robins"
Nah, i've been shitting on tim drake for a minute dude. I don't hate tim, by the way he's fine. But that's it, he's fine. In Sea of interesting characters, he's 7. He's the dark souls 2, of robins. He's fine. He's the iron man 3 of robins.

Hey look someone hasn't been reading the 52 lately.
Jason Todd was such a crap Robin that he even admits it in the comics.
