HEADCANONS part 6

WARNING, ⚠ SPOILERS ⚠ 🌞+🌙

▶ Previous part here ◀ ▶ Léelo en Español AQUÍ ◀

◽ They both had a major traumatic event when they were minors (and no, it wasn't the "loss of a family member" kind of thing). ◽ For both, being heroes is almost the main reason to keep living, keep fighting, and keep resisting. ◽ They both were (or still are) fictional characters and/or public figures within the Marvel universe itself. ◽ They had to endure the SAME villain almost in the same season (2009-2010), trying to manipulate them and make them explode: Norman Osborn. However, it was not in parallel. But of all the enemies they could have had, it was him (he was bored of bothering Spiderman apparently). ◽ Both the Sentry and Moon Knight had problems with alcoholism and some other type of addiction. ◽ If Sentry had a hero soundtrack, I think it would sound like this:

The image of the post is a parallelism found in the covers of the comics Marc Spector: Moon Knight #8 (1989) and Punisher #1 (2009)

Puedes ver en mis fanarts de este ship en mi Tumblr de artista, TakiArte bajo la etiqueta Marvel Eclipse.

◽ Ambos tuvieron un evento traumático importante cuando eran menores de edad (y no, no fueron del tipo "pérdida de un familiar" y ya). ◽ El ser héroes para ambos es una de las razones casi principales por las que seguir viviendo, seguir luchando, seguir resistiendo. ◽ Ambos fueron (o aún son) en cierto nivel, un personaje de ficción y/o una figura pública dentro del propio universo de Marvel. ◽ Tuvieron que soportar casi por la misma temporada (2009-2010) al MISMO villano, intentando manipularles y hacerles explotar: Norman Osborn. Sin embargo, no fue en paralelo. Pero de todos los enemigos que pudieron tener, fue ese mismo (que esta vez estaba aburrido de molestar a Spiderman al parecer). ◽ Ambos tuvieron problemas de alcoholismo y algún otro tipo de adicción. ◽ Si Sentry tuviera una banda sonora como héroe, sería algo así:

OMG :o just as I imagined their colours, but put in words!!

Hello and Welcome to Superbat Eye Colors

Why? Because I keep thinking about it :^)

Clark: they're the color of the sky but not the normal true blue or the light sky blue, the sky on summer days where there's too much sunlight and not a single cloud and the sky is so blue it's almost purple and there's too much of it. Clark's eyes are cornflower blue, almost periwinkle and just bordering on inhuman with their brightness.

Bruce: there's a reason the cowl has the lenses and that is because anyone who sees Bruce's eyes remembers them with an unsettling and single minded accuracy. Bruce's eyes are piercing light powder blue, they're unnatural next to his dark hair and almost seem colorless at first, like there's just cold fire where his iris should be but then they're so distinctly and specifically blue that you could never mistake the color again.

[takiartepa]

it's tuesday so you know what time it is.

i hate the new iron man comics christopher cantwell needs to be stopped.

thank you

See y'all next week for more whining.

[takiartepa]

AAAND... do you see it, true? I predicted the future 🤬 not in Action Comics but with something worst: we have a pride comic special from DC this year, in which Midpollo DOESN'T EVEN SHOW UP.

Not even in an ART (like the one I added to the post). They are officially IGNORED.

I can't describe the disappointment and angriness I feel. DO you know their 20 YEARS WEDDING ANNIVERSARY IS HAPPENING THIS YEAR??? They are married since July 2022 in a The Authority comic! (I ignore all the retcon DC did because I despised them). And what is DC doing in current Action Comics? Just put them saying is their anniversary as it was the most trivial thing of the world, where you feel nothing, zero chemistry. And proceed to make them suffer and be separated. I can't believe it.

I also come here to say, in my attempt to make justice for Midpollo (I prefer to call Eclipse) I have a READING LIST I created a year ago, on a website for all of you if you want to read, re-read them in order and/or meet them since their roots. It's in English, but it's not my mother language so sorry for the mistakes 😂

Here it is!

Feel free to share the link EVERYWHERE! They deserve all the love DC is not even giving them anymore 👿

FAN VENT about MIDPOLLO

I want my Eclipse back and happy

This is about how DC is treating #Midpollo lately. I will put related links to things (scenes from comics, spoilers) and other vents of mine with images; and subtitles for order. Advertence: LOT OF TEXT. I'm angry and anxious. Sorry for the English mistakes, not my mother language.

-This is exclusively personal. If you don’t like it, please go your way. As I said, is a VENT, I’m being SUBJECTIVE-

Did you read the next Action comics chapter synopsis? Well, to start:

⚠⚠ WARNING SPOILERS ⚠⚠

The origins of Mongul, his mysterious champions, and Midnighter’s underground rebellion stand revealed! When another of Superman’s truest allies is killed, will the tragic loss end the rebellion before it begins? Or will it be the spark that finally unites Superman’s forces against the unstoppable Mongul? The Warworld Revolution begins! Also featuring the finale to the epic Martian Manhunter backup series!

Extracted from here. Action Comics #1042.

Well. I think you get my point by speaking about this. And yes, it's not good. Do you need it clear? Here: "When another of Superman’s truest allies is killed (…)"

.

. I FEAR WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN

And more, I have the fear I know what's gonna happen. I mean, you already saw how they just disappeared Apollo for some chapters (or didn't show us WTF was happening with him). That's the trope "Out of Focus". And that's not a good signal. I fear... we will have Midnighter and Apollo separated. UNJUSTLY separated. AGAIN. And with that, DC having the perfect excuse to write them OUT of the story (the "Put on a bus" trope). I hope I'm mistaken, but... 🙃

. We have the historical record for me to fear what's gonna happen next: do you know how many times Apollo had deaths in comics until now? Yeah, sorry for the cruel realization if you didn't know. And for worst, the number is slowly approaching the two digits. Do you think on any other character that DC seems to LOVE killing it again and again because they think fans are used to it already? (or they are a piece of 💩 that enjoy it and don't know a new story to write without that). Yeah, Jason Todd. Red Hood. The second Robin in the story of Batman. One of the first victims of the now called "Bucky clause", accompanied by Aunt Ben. So, how could I don't think of the possibility of OTHER characters falling into this d4mn karma? . I don't think DC has that right, not even when Apollo is called that, Apollo. And you know: greek mythology = tragedy. But, WHY THE F*CK don't we have the RIGHT to see a gay character be happy?? WHY CAN'T WE SEE A GAY couple BE HAPPY TOGETHER???? ANSWER ME THAT. So much "queer coding" DC says to have, pieces of 💩, yeah, only to earn money. But you always remember the "bury your gays" for the drama..

.

APOLLO DESERVES MORE

I fear for Apollo because Midnighter is always the main point here so he has fewer possibilities of being in a problem. Sorry Lulu, but there is no balance. Apollo deserves more but DC still ignores Apollo as much as Wildstorm always did. I thought DC would do best for him, BUT NO, and that makes me angry. . And it's always like Apollo is used like a f*cking plot device, the same karma that a lot of female characters have to live. How surprising, because DC is writing him to be better known as "Midnighter's partner" than "Apollo" itself, with the stereotypical "female character/perfect spouse" traits. And I also don't like that. Apollo needs an independent life, too. We have enough female characters fighting for a place to have ALSO a gay male character suffering the same sh*t because of that idea that in a gay couple there is always a "female" part and "male" part. Heteronormative and binary sh*t. I despise that thing of stereotypes, don't agree with any of that. I don't mean these characteristics are "bad" for a man (when they are just, characteristics). The point is Apollo doesn't exist to be Midnighter's trophy and we need to see more of him being UNIQUE. . Do you know Apollo could have had a solo series? But it never happened 😭

.

.

YOU DON'T FEEL THE LOVE

DC just continues taking things from us, Midpollo fans that started to love them by their original comics (The Authority, StormWatch from WildStorm, etc). DC keeps ruining it. We lately don't have kisses. We don't have the caresses, touches, or hugs. NOT EVEN the physical nearness. We don't have lovely words from one to the other. They don't even act as if they love each other. It's funny how they had more chemistry in the chaos of the ORIGINAL AUTHORITY than here.

. And that said, this isn't the Authority we remember and liked. I like Superman but I feel DC just did something stupid by making him "leader" of a bad "Authority" imitation team. I don't feel the nostalgia and I don't feel happy about that. Superman itself takes all the focus on himself 🙄 and the Authority was great because you felt how EVERY MEMBER was relevant. Not the "leader" alone. . But let's return to the point! It's IRONIC we are supposed to be in a generation where we could celebrate diversity in fiction without censorship or fear. BUT DC is making us get Midpollo's love WITH A DROPPER. And them being a gay couple DOESN'T MEAN they only could express themselves freely in a pride comic. I FEEL LIKE DC DOES THAT. They only put Midpollo being genuinely in love in these comics, but in comics where they aren't main characters, bye-bye. (And even, in Midnighter comic and Midnighter and Apollo comic you feel something is lacking). . Hypocrisy, because if they were a straight couple, and even more, of the main character (for example, Batman and Catwoman) sure, "let's ALSO show clearly they have s3x there and here because straight couples are always acceptable". But if they are not straight DC is like "LET'S CENSOR Apollo's butt, so ph0bics doesn't feel uncomfortable!" (??????). Yeah, this happened, and so recently you can't just believe it. (And look at this time DC censored a kiss. And the audacity of them with the "old friend" phrase. Ugh)

Midpollo in current comics say they love each other but you don't feel anything. DC goes like "let's put them saying it" to fulfill an objective. And nothing more. You don't feel it, you don't sense it.

.

.

COMPARISONS

And that shit of comparing them. I mean, now Midnighter is not only compared with Batman, ALSO SUPERMAN. WTF? Because sure, OF COURSE, let's not forget WHO ARE THE STARS here. They will never let Apollo have more importance than Superman (for example). Yes, Superman is the main character of the comic but that doesn't mean you have to nerf and make a character be so OOC to "protect your symbol". Ugh. I like Superman but all of this makes me angry. . And APOLLO IS UNIQUE. Here they started making him act just as a Superman fanboy that said that he "always wanted to be like him". They keep making us believe they will develop Apollo's past AT LAST, but NO, HAHAHA, no. They keep making him only say things, not show them. You feel nothing. And they only keep comparing them. The same 💩 as the people outside the fandom that doesn't know anything about Midpollo and only see them as the "canon Superbat" or the couple that's the excuse to say to Superbat fans they don't have the right to dream with Superbat being canon (and that is also disgusting; let Superbat shippers BE). .

I'm happy Midpollo is part of the ONLY original The Authority members that still SURVIVE the DCU migration, but I can't feel completely happy at the same time (I miss WildStorm's The Authority). I feel DC still treat them so unjustly, DC remember them only for pride, use them for drama factor, or to be the characters that bother the main ones 😒🙄 or as a filler.

.

.

THE CRISIS IS NO EXCUSE

"But, do you know DC is gonna enter a crisis event? A lot of characters are going to die 🙄"

I-DON'T-F*CKING-CARE

DC had already k1lled Midpollo to only avoid writing them, as it happened in The New 52: Futures End Vol 1 #1 (2014) comic. Because The Authority would have ended all the problems in a blink, so they were another "problem" 😒 . But Wildstorm demonstrated in a crisis Midpollo can have their love STRONGER than ever. Yeah, I speak of The Authority Volume 4. And you say they have the right to continue ruining Midpollo only because there comes a crisis? No. It's because they don't want them shinning more than Superman or Batman 🤬 or any other character created originally by DC. . They don't respect Midpollo. You maybe saw how they JUST started being a couple in StormWatch's modern run... and next, from one moment to another, Midnighter comic BROKE THE COUPLE UP with a completely stupid and ridiculous excuse (where they changed Apollo's personality to make him disagree with Midnighter every time). .

.

THIS IS NOT THE SAME APOLLO WE KNEW

I don't care if they have the right to retcon Midpollo. I'm hating the changes they are doing on them. And because the changes don't make sense with the Midpollo they presented in Stormwatch modern run, where Midnighter fell for Apollo because Apollo could be cruel to evil people. THAT'S HOW APOLLO ALWAYS WAS until DC decided that stupid change of making him more a copy of the supermen, all like "we don't k1ll" and "Midnighter, don't kill, we are better than this". Wtf? DC, did you even read The Authority original comics? Are you so cowardly now about the "kill or don't kill" dilemma even when you continuously torture your own characters and go all proud of being recognized by your supposed "obscure" stories? . The Apollo I love was capable of incinerating a man's test1cles to make him speak 👿 -yeah, this is real, happened in the Wildstorm era and Midnighter always LOVED 😏 these moments of the savage Apollo raising- They were aggressive with who deserved it, without ruining what they sought, and without losing the focus of what they wanted to be (more than Bendix's created human weapons). They were made for a thing, and they transformed it to be better. I also miss the real origin of Midpollo and how DC ruined the opportunity of developing more from it.

(And, also Bendix is being a victim of DC retcons. New readers that never read The Authority will never know how a piece of 💩 he really was. Now he seems a joke. I miss hating him).

.

It's ironic and indignant how the fandom is making better content for Midpollo (with fanfics/fanart/fan comics) than the own official comic industry lately. And how THEY SEEM TO KEEP IGNORING US, THE OWN MIDPOLLO FANDOM, from WHAT WE WANT. Is like we don't exist. I feel that, I don't know if you too. I hope I'm not alone in this.

And I'm not gonna stay shut, as you see.

FAN VENT sobre SENTRY (El Vigía)

⚠⚠ CUIDADO, SPOILERS ⚠⚠

-Esto es exclusivamente personal, un VENT/DESAHOGO. Estoy siendo SUBJETIVA y de paso, no admitiré ningún ataque a este personaje sobre todo en este preciso post, que busca LO CONTRARIO. Si le sigues el jueguito a Marvel de odiar y despreciar a Sentry, con más que motivos, retírate de aquí y sigue tu camino.-

Oficialmente he terminado de leer todo lo "principal" de Sentry y nada más con decir que acabo de aprender la definición de la palabra vilipendio, ya debería ser suficiente para describir la caída increíble que esto tuvo.

El nivel de denigración a un personaje que vi en este viaje fue progresivamente insufrible. Y, esto último que leí es de 2021. Estamos casi a mitad de 2022, y tal vez es mejor que nadie ha vuelto a intentar escribir a Sentry, porque para escribirlo como un asco como venían haciendo, mejor no (hasta miedo da que regrese, aunque no significa que no lo anhele... UN RETCON rescate). Parece que Marvel solo va a recordar su existencia cuando quiera volver a HUMILLARLO de una forma repugnante y seguro no sea pronto, porque así de poco es cuanto le importa. Como muchos fans dicen, literalmente Marvel "no sabe qué hacer con él". Y lo más seguro es que al regresarlo, lo último que harán es escuchar lo que el fandom realmente quiere, porque si lo hubieran oído dudo que los últimos cómics que salieron fueran a existir. A la próxima vez que re-lea todo, en la agonía de la rabia que me va a producir, espero poder analizar muchas cosas y mostrar claramente cómo ha sido desperdiciado y denigrado a la etiqueta de "villano", para luego ser asesinado y que te pinten todo como una "redención" y "estado de paz"... donde nadie de sus supuestos amigos va a extrañarlo genuinamente. Porque él nunca ha sido el "villano": lo han sido todos a su alrededor haciéndole la vida una ruina, usándolo a su conveniencia, llevándolo al límite y hasta DESEÁNDOLE LA MUERTE. Nadie se puso realmente en sus zapatos aún cuando él tenía una lucha personal constante; siempre fue servicial (al punto de ser hasta manipulado), se SACRIFICÓ una y otra vez por el bien de gente que ni lo merecía, era el primero en preocuparse de no hacer daño por accidente, y muchas veces se culpó de cosas que ni siquiera eran su culpa y ni se rebeló contra personas que claramente estaban faltándole al respeto (siendo escrito como increíblemente ingenuo, cuando se supone tiene años de experiencia como héroe y ni sabemos su edad real). Lo último solo cambió cuando ciertos autores lo hicieron actuar irracionalmente violento para intentar que lo "odies". Pero si ya razonas lo suficiente y no te dejas llevar por el cuentito de Marvel, vas a darte cuenta que ese no es Sentry. Ya es un escritor usándolo de "más villano que el villano". Este personaje fue víctima de los que le rodean, y hasta de su propio creador. Y nunca, NUNCA nos dieron los motivos que lo llevaron al punto de cambiarse la vida al obtener sus poderes. Los trastornos mentales, "múltiples identidades", así como las adicciones y dificultades para relacionarse, no nacen porque "le pregunté a mis webos y me dijeron que sí". Y no nacen tampoco de que el personaje tenga alguna "naturaleza" supuesta, de "maldad porque sí". Esa es una asquerosa implicación cuerdista y estigmatizante hacia las personas que conviven con trastornos mentales reales. Este personaje pudo ser usado para dar mensajes de superación en una minoría de minorías, PERO NO. Por primera vez estoy en el fandom de uno de los superhéroes nivel cósmico más injustamente tratados y peor escritos de la historia de los cómics. Imagen de: King in Black: Return of the Valkyries #1 (2021)

X: and what are your favorite Sentry comics? Me: my headcanons. X: But that's not- Me: MY... HEAD...CANONS :)

Marvel, I'm not gonna forgive you for how you treat Sentry, and worst, IN RECENT COMICS.

NEVER.

FAN VENT (otra vez 😂)

No entiendo qué necesidad tenía Marvel de cambiarle el nombre a Marlene en el UCM. En serio. MARLENE es un personaje importante.

⚠⚠ CUIDADO SPOILERS INDIRECTOS de cómics ⚠⚠

También voy a estar disgustada si la quieren poner de antagónica, ignorando todo cuanto Marlene acompañó de manera bella a Marc en muchos cómics vintage... hasta que ciertos autores decidieron arruinar todo para luego culminar al romper la pareja. Porque en los cómics no pueden ver una pareja ser feliz y estable por mucho tiempo. Parece que se les quemaran los ojos y cayeran las manos si llegan a hacer eso ¬¬ No digo que fueran la mejor pareja. Había muchas estupideces de época, toxicidades del amor romántico, capacitismo, lo suyo. Pero ellos en serio se me hacían una pareja bonita en sus momentos (sobre todo antes de los 90' más o menos), y Marlene era bien fuertota luchando lado a lado con Marc y eso me agradaba de todo su significado como personaje femenino... aunque en lo actual ya la DESAPARECIERON y no perdono a Marvel por hacer eso (que también lo hizo con TODOS los secundarios de Luna desde su origen) MARLENE ES MARLENE. Es el cambio de nombre lo que me choca

P.D. fuera de todas mis quejas, sí toy disfrutando la serie, no se crean. Pero tengo las cositas que criticarle. Ojalá y me calle la boca y Layla sí resulte llamarse Marlene Alraune al final, nunca se sabe jajaja

-Esto es exclusivamente personal. Si no te gusta, sigue tu camino. Como dije, es un desahogo. Estoy siendo muy SUBJETIVA-

Todo esto es sobre una personalidad en específico de Moon Knight: Jake Lockley. Cover de cómic random para ilustrar el post.

⚠CUIDADO, SPOILERS de los cómics de Moon Knight⚠

Desde que leí a Moon Knight, en orden casi cronológico total, siempre me resultó incómoda una cosa: cómo cambiaron al TAXISTA Jake Lockley.

El asunto es este; lo pasaron de ser el taxista que hacía enojar a su jefe, detectivesco que iba a comprar desayuno a la tienda de Genna y charlar con Crawley; a ser una identidad que apenas sale y es un asesino sádico. Y yo todavía no entiendo esa decisión (además de bueno, otra cosa que siempre me pareció insólita pero ya me iría de tema -cofcofDiatricecofcof-) Nunca me terminó de gustar. Para mercenario ya estaba Marc y se supone que de SALIÓ esa etapa de su vida (y si regresó alguna vez, fue bajo plena manipulación de Khonshu).

Me gustaría que expliquen más cosas que a pesar de llevar tantos años, siguen confusas o siempre las confunden más. Siento buscaban excusa para hacer a MK violento sin que sea por el pasado de mercenario de Marc, y nunca lo justifican. Debe ser que soy una loca por toda la "psychological accuracy" pero... Yo pensaría en que Marc quiere huir de las cosas que hizo de mercenario y esa identidad condensa todo ese lado violento que tenía. PERO TIENE que tener una base igualmente, y lo siento insuficiente. O sea, ¿de dónde aprendió todo eso? ¿Era realmente tan violento y cuestionable? Ese no es el Marc que nos presentaron en orígenes. Porque su niñez no muestra para nada algo así a su alrededor de lo que pudiera aprender o que lo lleve a ese extremo. Y Marc de adulto por algo cambió de actitudes; es la base de cómo se rebeló contra Bushman (y por qué choca con los métodos de Khonshu). Termina siendo incongruente. Y en lo personal no puedo desligarme del Marc del Vol 1, contra por ej el Marc del volumen de 2005, volumen que detesto, lo siento 😂 ya lo deben haber leído en mi fan vent anterior. Volvieron todo asquerosamente edgy Y tampoco justifican. Siento que es el volumen culpable de que hicieran a Jake sádico Además por su trauma (el que salió por un cómic luego de 2010), debería precisamente actuar AL CONTRARIO, hasta temer de sí mismo si hiciera cosas así, digo yo. -SPOILER: lo del "tío" n4zhi-. Creo que sigue siendo parte del problema de que no nos definan de una vez o que sigan retconeando el asunto de que si su TID (trastorno disociativo) es causado por ser avatar de Khonshu (y Khonshu mismo), o es derivado de un trauma real. Hasta podría explicarse que la identidad sádica fue inducida por Khonshu en su favor. Pero bueno, seguiremos en las dudas. Me pregunto si harán canon un trauma en el UCM o no. Yo espero que sí, si quieren ser más "realistas", espero que sí.

FAN VENT

-This is exclusively personal. If you don’t like it, please go your way. As I said, is a VENT, I’m being incredibly SUBJECTIVE-

(En Español ⬇)

I would like to know what's the opinion of fans of Moon Knight who had read his comics and are part of the diversity (LGBT+) about Moon Knight Volume 5 (2006). Especially the first half.

Because I sincerely despise it and I can't be the only one.

⚠ WARNING SPOILERS, OBVIOUSLY ⚠

Not only because of its depictions of women (the artist also makes them in a very s3xist way). It made Marlene interested in an underage man. And Marc acts like a f*cking obsessed toxic stalker with her that also wants to do harm to the supposed new boyfriend. And Marc's past is now described as "we made a bet to see who deserved the prize (Marlene)".

My point is: are you really BLIND at the fact that the writer just put a homosexual character (Rob) normalizing and agreeing about Marc just k1lling a man in a sod0m1stic way? 🙃 Because the image I see in that newspaper is that (and what a newspaper without any measure, showing things like that as if they weren't traumatic).

I still don't even get why that man was attacked by MK. Some on the Internet say he was h4rrasing the woman near him, but the comic never makes it totally clear, it's ridiculous. That comic writing was NEVER clear for me and that makes me angrier.

And the discussion that happens between Marc and Frenchie (Jean-Paul) when he says about his homosexuality is ridiculous, too. Also the stupid implications of Rob (his couple) being interested in Marc, too (infidelity). I don't know. I'm in conflict to accept Frenchie as a diverse character only because the comic that made it canon is THIS one (and they attempted the "bury your gays" trope). I hope they retcon the revelation (of Frenchie being gay) SOON, please.

I really despise that volume and how some people keep saying "oh it was what MK needed all the time" and "edgy edgy edgy" and "that was the fresh new start MK needed". WTF?

One of the only things I would accept is that they finally showed Khonshu's real nature: being a piece of 💩. But next, Ugh.

I'm sincerely not gonna re-read the comic to confirm the facts I said so, I don't care if I have mistakes, and I don't want to cite so disgusting events from that comic. That's how much I despise it 😂

I fear how this volume will influence the MCU series because I don't want them turning it all like an "I'm edgy" sh*t only because a group of people doesn't want to use their brain to comprehend the complexity of the character and only wants to see him being bloody violent and deranged. But well, I'm rambling. That's all.

DESAHOGO

-Esto es exclusivamente personal. Si no te gusta, sigue tu camino. Como dije, es un desahogo. Estoy siendo muy SUBJETIVA-

Me gustaría saber cuál es la opinión de fans del Caballero Luna que hayan leído los cómics y sean parte de la diversidad (LGBT+) acerca de Moon Knight Volumen 5 (2006). Especialmente la primera mitad.

Porque yo sinceramente lo aborrezco y no puedo ser la única..

⚠ CUIDADO SPOILERS, CLARO ⚠

No solo por su representación de las mujeres (el artista también las hace de una manera muy s3xista). Hizo que Marlene se interesara por un hombre menor de edad. Y Marc actúa como un maldito stalker tóxico obsesionado con ella que también quiere hacerle daño al supuesto nuevo novio. Y el pasado de Marc ahora se describe como "hicimos una apuesta para ver quién se merecía el premio (Marlene)".

Mi punto es: ¿estás realmente CIEGO frente al hecho de que el escritor puso un personaje homosexual (Rob) normalizando y aceptando que Marc simplemente m4tó a un hombre de una manera sod0mística? 🙃 Porque la imagen que ví en ese periódico era esa (y vaya periódico desubicado, mostrando cosas así como si no fueran traumáticas).

Todavía no entiendo por qué ese hombre fue atacado por MK. Algunos en Internet dicen que estaba ac0sando a la mujer que tenía cerca, pero el cómic nunca lo aclara del todo, es ridículo. La escritura de ese cómic NUNCA me pareció clara y eso me da más rabia.

Y la discusión que ocurre entre Marc y Frenchie (Jean-Paul) cuando dice sobre su homosexualidad, también es ridícula. También las estúpidas implicaciones de que Rob (su pareja) también se interesó por Marc (infidelidad). No sé. Estoy en conflicto para aceptar a Frenchie como un personaje diverso solo porque el cómic que lo convirtió en canon es ESTE (donde intentaron aplicar el "bury your gays" para completar). Espero que hagan un retcon de esa revelación (Frenchie siendo gay) PRONTO, por favor.

Realmente desprecio ese volumen y cómo algunas personas siguen diciendo "oh, era lo que MK necesitaba todo el tiempo" y "edgy edgy edgy" y "ese era el nuevo comienzo que necesitaba MK". WTF?

Una de las únicas cosas que aceptaría es que finalmente mostraran la verdadera naturaleza de Khonshu: ser un pedazo de 💩. Pero luego, ugh.

Sinceramente, no voy a volver a leer el cómic para confirmar los hechos que dije, no me importa si tengo errores, y no quiero citar eventos tan repugnantes de ese cómic. Así de mucho es cuánto lo desprecio 😂

Temo cómo este volumen influirá en la serie del MCU porque no quiero que lo conviertan todo en una basura "edgy" solo porque un grupo de personas no quiere usar su cerebro para comprender la complejidad del personaje y solo quiere verlo siendo sangrientamente violento y desquiciado. Pero bueno, estoy divagando. Eso es todo.

HEADCANONS part 5 About PHYSICAL APPEARANCE (part 1)

(Because I do fanarts, you can see them on my artist Tumblr, TakiArte under the Marvel Eclipse tag).

WARNING, ⚠ SPOILERS ⚠ 🌞+🌙

▶ Previous part here ◀ ▶ Léelo en Español AQUÍ ◀

About Luna / Moon Knight:

🌙 My preferred look for him is a mix of the style of Greg Smallwood (that you can see in Moon Knight vol 8 (2016)) and the colors he possessed in some vintage comics (differing from the hair color he has in this year's comics (2022)). 🌙 In my canon, Marc is pale (I will elaborate on this later) and he has red hair, but unnatural red, not being an actual redhead (which is usually an orange tone, as Matt Murdock/Daredevil has). This "red" color I suppose is actually the product of the attempt to achieve a certain brown tone by printers or colorists before 2000. I will also make his eyebrows that color, but not his body hair, which is dark.

(Cut from the cover of Marc Spector: Moon Knight #18, art by Sal Velluto, Tom Palmer and Christie Scheele) 🌙 The suit I prefer and draw the most is the one seen in volume 7; this one:

🌙 I follow characteristics like: a scar on the eye that cuts his left eyebrow, his half-grown beard (sometimes shaved) and the way he combs his hair, ALTHOUGH you will also see in some art the hair as it is in the current volume (volume 9) with the beautiful art of Alessandro Cappuccio; and references to the color by Rachelle Rosenberg, especially that light blue glow that makes Luna look supernatural.

(Art by Cory Smith and Rachelle Rosenberg)

🌙 From volume 9 I also take as canon Luna having some half-healed wound, scars and bandages. I love how cute he looks with the bandage on his nose in volume 8, art by Smallwood:

If you want a drastic example of all this, you have the beginning of Moon Knight Vol 5 (2006), where the eyebrow cut originates from (a volumen I despise, where Luna has a hard time):

(Art by David Finch)

🌙 Voice Headcanon (how I imagine his voice sounds). Inspired by the voice acting he has in two different mediums, an animated series and a game: https://youtu.be/EC_Xt_agj14

🌙 My Moon Knight will always be this tall: 188 cm / 6’ 2’’ Canon according to the Handbook of the Marvel Universe vol 2 (1985). My Moon Knight is taller than Sentry. (More physical appearance headcanons coming soon) –

About Sentry:

🌞 My Sentry will always have long hair, no exception. Sometimes above the shoulders, sometimes below shoulders. But always long hair. 🌞 He's blonde. No dark eyebrows. Blonde eyebrows, blonde eyelashes, blonde body hair. 🌞 I have a distinction: the civilian appearance and the hero appearance. Bob Reynolds (Robert) and Sentry are different “phases” of the same person. Therefore, there is a change in physical appearance, just as it happened with Captain America when he received the super-soldier serum. If you know the history of Sentry, you will understand that this logic makes sense. But this is exclusively personal, not canon according to the comics (although it has always been a confusing topic and some authors made a certain difference). Sentry: canon superhero body. No need to describe it, you see it all the time in comics. One difference from Moon Knight is that Sentry is more muscular (although not taller -see below-). Bob: body in a more realistic canon, following the base of the one he has in volume 1. Therefore, it has a chubby belly, it's less muscular and with less “waist” (that in Sentry is highlighted by wearing the belt). It's a type of body that I am not used to drawing so it will be a challenge for me.

(Art by Jae Lee)

🌞 Despite the change of phases, I will keep the style of his face fixed, with prominent cheekbones. I won't make his face round when he's Bob even though his body type will change.

(Art by Mike Deodato) 🌞 My Sentry has the following heights: Bob Reynolds: 170 cm (speculated) Sentry: 183 cm / 6’ I have proof of this height for Sentry being canon even if the artists forgot (in the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe (2006)). Bob's height follows my phase change rule (notable in Sentry volume 2). He's always shorter than Moon Knight.

HEADCANONS parte 5 Sobre la APARIENCIA FÍSICA (parte 1)

(Porque hago fanarts, que puedes ver en mi Tumblr de artista, TakiArte bajo la etiqueta Marvel Eclipse).

Cuidado, ⚠ SPOILERS ⚠ 🌞+🌙

▶ Parte anterior aquí ◀ ▶ Read it in English here ◀

Sobre Luna / Moon Knight:

🌙 Mi apariencia preferida para él es una mezcla del estilo de Greg Smallwood (que se puede ver en Moon Knight vol 8 (2016)) y los colores que poseía en algunos cómics vintage (difiriendo sobre todo del color de cabello que tiene en cómics del presente año (2022)). 🌙 En mi canon, Marc es pálido (profundizaré sobre esto más adelante) y tiene el cabello rojo, pero rojo antinatural, no el de los realmente pelirrojos (que suele ser un tono más naranja, como el de Matt Murdock/Daredevil). Este color "rojo" supongo en realidad es producto del intento de lograr un determinado tono castaño por parte de las imprentas o coloristas de antes del 2000. También haré sus cejas de ese color, más no su vello corporal, que es oscuro.

(Recorte de la portada de Marc Spector: Moon Knight #18, arte de Sal Velluto, Tom Palmer y Christie Scheele) 🌙 El traje que prefiero y dibujo más es el que se ve en el volumen 7, que es este:

🌙 Sigo características como: una cicatriz en el ojo que corta su ceja izquierda, su barba recortada (a veces afeitado) y la forma en que se peina, AUNQUE también verán en algún arte el cabello como lo tiene en el volumen actual (volumen 9) con el hermoso arte de Alessandro Cappuccio; y referencias al color de Rachelle Rosenberg, sobre todo ese brillo celeste que hace ver a Luna sobrenatural.

(Arte de Cory Smith y Rachelle Rosenberg) 🌙 Del volumen 9 también tomo canon que Luna siempre tiene alguna herida a medio sanar, cicatrices, banditas y vendajes. Me da mucha ternura la bandita en la nariz que lleva en el volumen 8 con el arte de Smallwood:

Si quieren un ejemplo drástico de todo esto, tienen sobre todo el inicio de Moon Knight Vol 5 (2006), de donde se originó el corte en la ceja (un volumen que me desagrada y donde Luna lo pasa mal):

(Arte de David Finch)

🌙 Headcanon para su voz (cómo yo imagino que suena su voz). Inspirado en sus actores de voz en dos medios distintos, una serie animada y un juego: https://youtu.be/EC_Xt_agj14

🌙 Mi Moon Knight siempre tendrá esta altura: 188 cm / 6' 2'' Canon según el Handbook of the Marvel Universe vol 2 (1985). Mi Moon Knight es más alto que Sentry. (Más headcanon físicos próximamente) --

Sobre Sentry:

🌞 Mi Sentry siempre tendrá cabello largo, sin excepción. A veces por arriba de los hombros, a veces por debajo. Pero siempre largo. 🌞 Es rubio. Nada de cejas oscuras. Cejas rubias, pestañas rubias, vello corporal rubio. 🌞 Tengo una distinción: la apariencia civil y la apariencia de héroe. Bob Reynolds (Robert) y Sentry son "fases" diferentes de la misma persona. Por lo tanto, hay un cambio de apariencia física, tal y como sucedió con el Capitán América cuando recibió el suero del supersoldado. Si conocen la historia de Sentry, entenderán que tiene sentido esta lógica. Pero esto es exclusivamente personal, no canónico según los cómics (si bien siempre ha sido un tema confuso y algunos autores hacían cierta diferencia). Sentry: cuerpo canónico de superhéroe. Ni es necesario describirlo, se ve todo el tiempo en cómics. Una diferencia con Moon Knight es que Sentry es más muscular (aunque no más alto -ver abajo-). Bob: cuerpo dentro de un canon más realista, siguiendo la base del que tiene en el volumen 1. Por lo tanto, tiene pancita, es menos muscular y con menos "cintura" (que en Sentry se remarca al usar cinturón). Es un tipo de cuerpo que no acostumbro a dibujar por lo que será un desafío para mí.

(Arte de Jae Lee) 🌞 A pesar del cambio de fases, mantendré fijo el estilo de su rostro, con los pómulos destacados. No redondearé su rostro cuando es Bob a pesar de que su tipo de cuerpo sí va a cambiar.

(Arte de Mike Deodato) 🌞 Mi Sentry tiene las siguientes alturas: Bob Reynolds: 170 cm (especulada) Sentry: 183 cm / 6' Tengo pruebas de esta altura para Sentry siendo canon aunque los artistas lo olvidaran (en el All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe (2006)). La altura de Bob sigue mi regla del cambio de fases (notable en el volumen 2 de Sentry). Siempre es más bajo que Moon Knight.

(Más headcanon físicos próximamente) Continuará. Parte 6

Warning, ⚠ SPOILERS ⚠ 🌞+🌙

▶ Previous parts here ◀ ▶Léelo en Español AQUÍ◀ ◽ They got their powers from high-level misfortune events, not accidental at all. ◽ Luna would be a shield for Bob against his magnet of people who abuse his innocence and his wounded state of mind. He's a lost "child", and the others only see him as a monster to keep chained "in case that…" ◽ They could watch that their therapists don't go too far or are corrupt. They would recommend each other and monitor the results when living together. But that doesn't mean they're going to get into each other's therapy process. There would be respect and support from the accompaniment. ◽ They had an event where they felt betrayed by (and/or lost) their powers. And they were still aware that their return also meant the return of a problem and not just a relief like for other superheroes. The phrase "with great power comes great responsibility" applies to them strongly. To be continued. Part 5

◽ Obtuvieron sus poderes a partir de eventos de gran nivel de infortunio, no accidentales en sí. ◽ Luna sería un escudo para Bob contra su imán de personas que abusan de su inocencia y su estado mental herido. Es un "niño" perdido, y los demás sólo lo ven como un monstruo que mantener encadenado "por si…" ◽ Podrían entre ambos vigilar que sus terapeutas no se propasen o sean corruptos. Se recomendarìan entre ellos y vigilarían los resultados al convivir. Pero eso no significa que van a meterse en el proceso de terapia del otro. Habría respeto y apoyo desde el acompañamiento. ◽ Tuvieron un evento donde se sintieron traicionados por (y/o perdieron) sus poderes. Y eran conscientes aún así de que el regreso de ellos también significa el regreso de un problema y no solo un alivio como para otros superhéroes. Les aplica mucho la frase "un gran poder conlleva una gran responsabilidad". Continuará. Parte 5

Really REALLY GRATEFUL I decided to stop reading that run 🙃 I'm so angry with all that sh*t. Iron Man deserves better writers

so i’ve been like.  stewing over the entire tonypatsy bullshit for like a week and a half, as one does, and really it’s so?  unhealthy?  like, at this point i’m pretty convinced cantwrite’s throwing his own shit at the wall at this point and calling it writing but.  the whole ~i can save him i can change him~ thing is just?  no??  patsy deserves better than that, number one.  two, tony’s not broken.  does he have struggles with mental illness, yes, but he doesn’t need to be fixed.  he’s managed for the last some odd twenty years of keeping his shit mostly together while holding down a normal job, some magic vagina ain’t gonna suddenly fix him in a way he doesn’t need it.  red flags!  red flags everywhere!

like cantwell’s simping so hard for who he thinks patsy is it’s making him look fucking stupid.

additionally, he’s super real dismissive and ableist about mental health in general.  patsy’s issues are cured by hugging it out with herself and suddenly she’s all better and knows best for tony.  tony’s problems aren’t real problems because he has a couple of quarters to rub together, and his alcoholism and suicidal ideation is brushed aside as not being real and not existing and suddenly he has a whole new slew of addiction problems that he has stridently tried to avoid to the point he canonically has to be bullied into taking even a tylenol most of the time when he’s hurting.

tony doesn’t need someone to tell him what to do and shame him for having feelings, he needs someone to listen.
