Glados isn’t nearly mad enough to be a mad scientist

PROPAGANDA

Agatha Heterodyne:

The main character mad scientist in a comic full of them

She's the titular Girl Genius, which is a good start. In the comic, mad science is genetic and called the Spark; she's the latest in a long line of of powerful, mostly evil Sparks who terrorized Europa for centuries, until her father and uncle became heroes instead. She's a bit in between the two extremes. Some of her greatest hits include: building a small army of self-replicating robots, briefly killing one of her romantic interests in order to cure him of a terminal illness (he thought it was a brilliant idea), repeating the procedure on herself, nearly blowing up after glimpsing the fabric of the universe, repairing the sentient castle at the heart of her town, frequently having to shuffle around brains that end up in the wrong body (they are usually happier afterwards), building a giant robot in order to ask the Godqueen of England to dance, and making coffee. At this time in the comic, she recently rescued her town from being frozen in time and is working to kill a horror from another dimension.

GLaDOS:

I LOVE GLaDOS. Such a well written and funny and interesting character. And Portal 2 is one of the best games of all time. If you haven't played it, go do that.

Never has a womans consciousness inside a robot had so much beef with a mute test subject before.

“I too, also see my dead dad occasionally”

Hank still having hallucinations and trying to keep the fact that he's still having hallucinations from the JSA (but talking to unrelated doctors about it if that's gonna be an issue) but also Rick knows and comes over to comfort him every time it happens.

ONG…

lets make a new trope: gay characters who are actually seemingly impossible to kill to the point that all of their enemies are comically frustrated. functionally immortal gay characters. being gay making you immortal. unkillable gay trope.

Exactlyyyyyyy

the purpose of a dc holiday special is to randomly have one really good firestorm story that sends me into a frenzy every so often

[aadamantine]

It’s not “modern Greek mythology” it’s “modern mythology”

probably best compared to myths that are more like “there’s a guy and he does cool things let’s make some stories about him to explain why things are the way they are”

because I’m pretty sure that people did make up stories like “they met new characters forever”

because yeah Brer Rabbit and Jack/Hans or whatever (I’m not a scholar) can have adventures forever. They can meet an infinite amount of new characters

I keep hearing the argument that the modern DC and Marvel comics are the heroes of Greek mythology

and that's not true beyond the fact that they are on a mythological level involved in Epic conflicts

The ancient Greeks did not keep making the new adventures for auditions or for Jason or for Hercules even. Those heroes had a beginning but they also had an ending, Hercules dies despite there being different retellings of how, and his death leaves a vacuum that makes a new generation of heroes follow such as Achilles and the Trojan War characters. And they also either die or retire and their children such as Orestis and Telemachus had their own perils. Hercules did not keep coming back to have new adventures and meeting new characters forever he had a specific storyline despite their being many episodes of his life added.

Meanwhile Batman Superman Wonder Woman the Hulk keep on getting rebooted again and again too much then new era. There is no ending ever.

I feel like this comparison only has merit in that they are stories about super beings that have been removed from their canon sources multiple times and have reached a status that they are figures recognized across multiple continents, even if who they actually are is literally unknown.

Their context is lost.
