Well. Isn’t this embarrassingly long overdue! 

I think it’s all a matter of preference. I have fond memories of the original Christopher Reeve version of Superman. It’s hard not to be invested in your first superhero story.

Margot Kidder Lois Lane became my Forever Girl, which all awesome women characters have to follow. 

I love how some properties have echoed and called back to the first movie, and even though watching now, through modern sensibilities, I found the first half of the movie a bit of a slog the movie will always hold a special place in my heart. 

Smallville was hard going for me because it took so long for Lois Lane to appear! Chloe was the Lois analogue, and it was fun at first but an analogue can only do so much, and then Erica Durance’s Lois Lane appeared and it was like a breath of fresh air. She was exactly the Lois Lane I pictured! From then I began to watch regularly. Sure, I had my nitpicks and quibbles but Durance’s Lois Lane rose to the ranks to be one of my favorite Lois Lanes, and Smallville's version of the love story between Clark and Lois in Smallville is one of my top favorites! 

For Batman, my favorite movie incarnation remains Michael Keaton’s Batman. The gothic elements worked for me because Tim Burton just leaned into it. 110% Goth. 110% Selina Kyle. 

I think the only other Batman property that matched the Batdren Goth-ness is the TV Gotham

Next was Animated!Batman.

This and JLU!Batman was the Batman I grew-up with. I kind of don’t want to revisit in the off chance it won't live up to my childhood memories.

Also, Animated!Batman is who I measure all Batmans by. 

As for Wonder Woman, I am ashamed to say before the movie I’ve never watched a standalone Wonder Woman movie and only saw Diana Prince from the animated!JLU, which was amazing

I tried the movie with Nathan Fillion and was so annoyed that I stopped watching. 

And I was too young to watch the live action Wonder Woman, which is sad, I remember watching snippets of re-runs but it was so long ago I don’t know what I thought.

So the award goes to the recent Wonder Woman movie which I love with all my heart! And I’m not all that sad that they pushed the movie back, if it takes more to make a quality Wonder Woman movie, I am all for the delay!

is there something unifies your pan-fandom interests?(

I'm sorry this is short but I'm doing a multiple things and I didn't want to end December (and the year!) without finishing the December Meme!

I had a long think about this and I think one of the things for me to like a show: there should be an interesting female protagonist and while dark things do happen its not a grimdark show.

The relationship that defined your exception in relationships and the relationships you now hope to find in your life


So, I look to the fictional for my ideal romantic relationships namely: Coach and Mrs. Coach from FNL, Marshall and Lily (HIMYM), and Brad and Jane (Happy Endings)

But honestly, I just really like the idea of someone I'm comfortable with to talk to and have fun with and have similar passions but also someone I can have adventures with too.



This is frustratingly short, I'm sorry but I guess romantic relationships aren't really something I think about a lot?

Here's the thing I never expected to like The 100 but my tumblr friends convinced me (fair warning, I've only seen Season 1, since I'm hesitant about season 2 and I want to see everything play out.)

But my favorite character in the show is Clarke Griffin.

It's been a while since I've seen Glee but Brittany Pierce is still a favorite! It was her dancing that made me give Glee a second chance. I was so in awe of her dancing!


The more I watched, the more I've come to really like Brittany as a character.

headcanon/thoughts on why you think Shaw became a doctor for [tumblr.com profile] thismeansnothingtome


Apologies for this being late, I got turned around with the dates and I'm playing catch up now.


I think, the whole reason why Shaw became a doctor begins in 1993 at the time when as lookninjas pointed out, she was stuck for hours with her (dead) father under the car. I've always thought that while young Sameen might not have shown she was affected by her father's death, I feel like its an event that marked her.

From: [livejournal.com profile] redbrunja Joss Carter's Death: HORRIBLE WRITING DECISION or well executed/meaningful. Talk about the two sides of the issue and what's your call?

This is a thorny issue, with, I think no easy answer.

Full disclosure: I was among one of the vocal people who was against Carter dying and I've even considered quitting the show if not my love for Sarah Shahi's Shaw. But looking at the story from start to what we have now, in the grand scale of the story and leading up to and the effects of Carter's death I think it worked in the long run.

BUT since the show doesn't exist in a vaccum there are many things to consider,Read more... )

December Talking Meme

Pick a date below and give me a topic, and I’ll ramble on. I’m good at talking. It can be anything from fandom-related (specific characters, actors, storylines, episodes, etc.) to life-related to pizza preferences to whatever you want.

They will probably be brief, or not, depending on the subject. Also, I reserve the right to decline prompts that I don’t feel equipped to meet.

Topics: you can get an idea from my tags/from the stuff I usually ramble about/from things you maybe wish I talked about more but don’t.
