#i'm just going to assume that the movie will end up being about Stiles because we all know Jeff can't help himself

must we give the werewolves back to Jeff Davis? wasn’t Teen Wolf reason enough to not let him run a show like that again??

So, how do you feel about Stiles? Because rumor is Dylan O'Brien is the frontrunner to play Dick in the Batgirl movie.

LOLOLOL I feel like maybe you must be new(ish) to my blog, because uh, my feelings on all things Stiles historically can be categorized as Not Good, Actually, so....that about sums it up.

No but for reals, the funny thing is because I was never on board with Stiles as a character in all the time I was in Teen Wolf fandom, its often assumed by people that I hate DOB. But like I literally worked in Hollywood for a good decade up until about five years ago, which meant at one time or another I worked with most of the TW cast in some capacity. I never knew DOB well, but like, I'm fine with him! 

Dude was always pretty fun to be around on set, I have no personal complaints with him, I'm fairly good at separating a character from the actor who plays them because if you work in Hollywood for long and CAN'T do that, good luck on finding any show or movie you can enjoy ever....and that's literally the sum total of my thoughts on him. Whilst at the same time I could go on a rant about Stiles that makes The Never-Ending Story look like a short little wiki summary in comparison.

So people are free to believe me or not believe me as they see fit, its totally fine if someone assumes I am too biased to be objective on this front and am thus a Liar who actually wants DOB's entire career to DIE and will never accept him as Dick Grayson.....lol, but honestly, my only thoughts on that casting rumor are I just don't see it, and I'd rather a total unknown get cast as DG. Preferably let an actor of Romani background have a chance at one of the only high profile Roma characters out there.

Its kinda weird though because for some reason or another, as big a fan I am of comics Dick Grayson, I've never been HUGELY invested in adaptations of the character? Either live action or cartoons, I've enjoyed many and hated many others, but mostly on their own merits. I'm pretty used to seeing them or treating them as totally distinct from comic book Dick Grayson, who is what I'm mainly here for....

Maybe its because one of the things that draws me to his comic character is the sheer breadth of history the character has there and the deep connectedness he has to all corners of the DC universe. Which really are elements of the character that have for the most part remained untapped in adaptations, so its easy for me to treat them as wholly separate things? Point just being....for as big a Dick Grayson stan as I am, I'm historically pretty uninvested in adaptations of the character and rarely get anywhere near as hyped up about them as I do the core comic book character.

So I mostly tend to see or hear rumors about plans for Dick in an adaptation, have a split second Kalen-patented Overreaction and then go back to largely not caring. Its a whole cycle thing, lol. But I guess for now I'm still waiting for the adaptation of him that actually gets me as invested in that version as I am in the comic book version, and that likely won't be something that happens just based on casting or story rumors. Its more likely to be something that happens after the fact, like once I've SEEN an adaptation of the character that ignites all my stan fervor and has me firing on all cylinders, but I mean. Until then, I'm mostly like huh. Well that's An Idea, certainly, but I don't think I'd love that. I am often wrong about things I do and do not expect to love, however, so there's that too. But I feel pretty confident I would not love this one.
