You’ve got me wrong. Re-interpretations and modernizations are welcome when the material warrants it, and every generation needs to experience and internalize similar, poignant morality plays which have been adapted for their times - that’s the point of storytelling. I agree, the DC standards are growing outdated (as…

Additionally, I get that DC was setting out to write a racially/sexually diverse title, because it’s a sensible thing to do, and because diversity is a focus of modern media, but in light of “We are... Robin,” which comes off as more than a little forced and insincere (with it’s Anonymous meets Occupy meets urban…

I agree. This new DC paradigm shift just seems strikingly and entirely ill conceived to me, but it wouldn’t be the first time a line of comics went completely off course.

What is this? Scifi’s Young and the Restless? God.

This all feels like some lame soap opera exposition. I’m not at all impressed with DC’s attempt to remain relevant by tailoring everything to suit the fickle tastes of millenials. Are the classic DC origin stories outdated (and tired) in a variety of ways? Of course they are! But these titles all seem like fan fiction…

For those of us who don’t get it..... ?

I see, and have seen enough similarities - I bet Square will reuse XV’s complete game engine (Luminous Studio) with VII(R), and will simply add a compatible interpretation of the materia system (just as all three 13 titles used Crystal Tools, and the Crisis Core engine was reused for Type-0) - battle in VII(R) will…

This Superman looks like a Frenchman, and I can’t help but imagine this as being spoken in a French accent. Is he holding a cigarette lower in the frame, and is he apologizing for sleeping with another woman?

A moose once bit my sister.

So we’ll get the story of one humorless (“Setsunasa (切なさ)“ which means “heartrending” or “sadly moving,”) $60 game broken into three humorless $60 games. Greeeeeaat.

Maybe it’s Hipster Shepard.

To think I was just about to sell my PS2.

Do you ever lie awake at night, sobbing, as relentless visions of your past mistakes race across your mind’s eye?
