#i have a working theory that most live action cishet dd writers who are not interested in the comics

[briefcasejuice]

i think people who are big fans of the dd tv show that show no interest in the comics r boring. like the show is so. Normative yk? like the fact that they didn't understand matt and his motivators so they defaulted to religion. the fact that they had to continuously sexualise the disabled main character (the writers and actors were literally and explicitly making jokes about how many shirtless scenes there were and how they literally had to turn down a few 😧) for him to be an appealing one. the fact that they dumbed down the way his blindness worked and basically made it Seeing Part Two. the fact that they played into the fetishism of chinese culture for The Hand and then they?? abandoned it because they didn't want the 'main' villain to be a person of colour lmao. the fact that the ableism is the same kind of ableism in the comics like they hardly tried to be better. the fact that they gave karen such a different and objectively better (imo) backstory but 🤓☝️ instead of making her grow on her own continuously teased a romantic relationship in which with every instance, of said persuasion she acted out of character because they literally couldn't make it work other but would not leave it alone because of 'comic accuracy'. the fact that there are so many explicit shot for shot, 1:1, comic to show translations but not one of them prompted you to open a book? ewwwww
