Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Now you're hating on Iron Fist?

No respect for the classics.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

I mean, it's not Iron Fist bad, but what could be.

t boggles

Wow. That's... wow. Makes Nightwing's old costume look damn manly.

... and that's a Pantera's box you don't want to open. - Mister Furious

Now you're hating on Iron Fist?

No way dude. He was one of my faves as a kid. He and Cage ruled. That said, he's got a collar that looks like the vet put it there to keep him away from his stitches, his shirt is slit to the navel, and he wears yellow ballet slippers. That's hall of shame costuming.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Don't forget his sash. He has a sash.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Wow. That's... wow. Makes Nightwing's old costume look damn manly.

(dies laughing)

It is... supremely dorkish.

Nightwing's? Because there, not so much dorkish as... gay. Gay gay GAY, with gay sparkles on top.

And still manlier than that other one. Somehow.

Heh. It was gayer when he FIRST adopted the Nightwing identity, and part of his chest was bare and it had a fringe.

The other one.

But, yeah. The whole "Holy Elton John, Batman!" look was twitch-worthy.

Soooooo glad his taste improved. (Shudders at the memory of THE MULLET and the polka-dot shirt.)

That's the one I mean. With the man-cleavage, and the gold accents, and the biiig collar. SO GAY.

Oy. MAN, comics in the early to mid 80s were clunky and heavy on the exposition.

Jesus, I think I just read a Teen Titans where EVERYONE sounded like Mr. Garrison.

Drugs are bad, mmmmkay?
