My Reaction To What Has Befallen The Arrows

[bradygirl_12]

Okay, so DC first lops off Roy's arm? Now THEY KILL HIS DAUGHTER? They make Ollie a killer? They destroy Star City and millions of people?

Can someone honestly tell me why DC has become so bloodthirsty in recent years? Is that what sells comics? Pretty sad commentary on our society, 'fraid to say.

It just makes me more convinced than ever that ignoring canon is the best thing for my fanfic. Bah! on DC and their fridging ways.

I HATE that they've become so bloodthirsty. I hate that the heroes are acting more and more like bad guys. Bruce waterboarded somebody not long ago. Yeah. Batman waterboarded somebody. Damian calls Dick an idiot when Dick is hurt and drugged up. Robin calls Batman an idiot and it gets cheered by fans, some of whom find it hilarious. Dick, as Batman, beat up a guy recently to get info. And didn't get any info. And didn't feel bad about beating up the poor guy.

WTF?

Yikes! I didn't know these examples!

'Tis a sorry case, m'dear. The world is harsher than once we knew, and the numbing of sensitivity to violence is a sad and dangerous thing.

Sorry if I bummed you out by telling you. I shall try to contain myself. It's not right, though. I so want the pendulum to swing back. I thought the nineties were supposed to be the gritty, extreme years.

*hopes*

No, I don't mind hearing it. I don't keep up with canon so it's good when people talk about it.

I find my blood pressure thanks me for not buying too many comics. ;)
