Well, the weather is pretty dark outside. Having woken up early again today, I felt tired and exhausted. I just spent the last hour laying in bed with my phone, which means my phone is now getting kind of low. 67% as of right now. Still, I'm feeling slow and still kind of tired and relaxed. So I think I'm gonna use the phone for at least a few more minutes. Hopefully I can get it to charge again after this. sigh...

Whenever I say that the 90s Spider-Man show was weirdly paced, it's actually not an insult. Let me make a comparison. The mysterio episode in season one of the 90s show featured a one or two minute rushed recap of spider-man's origin story. As someone who hates that origin, the rushed recap works perfectly for me. It means I don't have to think about how predicated on selfish behaviour and a refusal to trip some robber running down a hallway. Spider-Man and his origin isn't very fun to think about. It isn't for me, at least. Also, the spectacular spider-man took the other extreme angle on this problem. They had a whole episode devoted to the origin (all in black and white) and it kind of bored me as a kid. I just don't find spider-man's origin super compelling, especially not if we compare it to others.

Also, I appreciate that the faster pacing with some storylines means the 90s show gets venom and his storyline resolved in great time. And they waste no time adding carnage to the show, which makes venom slightly more tolerable. I still don't like this horror movie style alien goop, and I hate seeing the way it drives storylines and makes characters behave differently sometimes. The Symbiote is like the Phoenix Force. They're both alien things I despise in marvel comics. I don't hate venom in the same way I hate (for example) a character like the punisher. But he's still not a character I love. He's pure mediocrity, at least to me. I'll engage with him if I see something mildly interesting in a show or a game, but i'll forget about him most of the time.

In rewatching the 90s Spider-Man episode that first starred mysterio, I was able to see why I love the character so much. A theatrical criminal who uses stage tricks to commit his crimes. There's something appealing to me about that, and it's probably my love of wizards in fantasy stories. I know mysterio isn't a real magic user, but his theatrics are plenty good enough for me. It allows for a lot of interesting stuff in his storylines. I haven't read or watched enough stuff to have good examples on hand, but I know that illusions and practical magic makes for a lot of good crimes. It's a cool gimmick.

But I think I'd like mysterio even without his magical gimmick. I'm a sucker for funny or overexaggerated characters sometimes, because it helps me focus and pay attention. Mysterio is nothing if not a consummate performer, and his spectacle would probably keep me engaged no matter what. I can't be confident of that, but it feels like something that'd be true for me.

Gods damn it! It's 9:30 at night and I'm already sweaty. I don't need this right now. Goddamn it all. If I end up needing to change my shirt and stuff at bedtime, I'm gonna be really annoyed. It shouldn't be this hot at this time of night, but my genetics apparently don't seem to care about things like that. No, that's apparently something I can't have. Goddamn it, I just hate my stupid genetic predisposition towards heat sometimes. I hate it more then I'd like to admit. sigh...

Time still feels really slow sometimes. But I don't think I really want it moving any faster. If it moves faster, college is going to begin before I know it. And that thought is enough to really fuel my stress and existentialism and stuff like that. It certainly doesn't help that I feel bad about not posting much today, even though i'm aware that's a pretty weird thing to be feeling bad about. I don't have any kind of obligation to post. But I still find ways to make myself feel bad about it all anyways. It's probably just a sign I feel sedentary or inactive online or something, but it's kind of weird I always funnel all that energy into this account. I imagine it's simply because this account is here, and I can't stop myself from using things when they're right there. I may have an addictive personality, but I hate alcohol and things in that vein. No, my addictive behaviours may be weirder.

I bite my nails, for example. I also post on here or reblog something at least daily. I think those count as addictions or something bordering on it. It's tempting to throw masturbation into the addictive things pile, as is many other things. But I don't want to go ahead and become a super crazy armchair doctor, so we're quitting while I'm ahead. To change topics and try to restore some normalcy, my old phone is still acting weird sometimes. It takes a lot to charge it, and I do worry about it. But i'm just trying to keep that one out of mind. So i'm sorry about not posting much, but I think does help alleviate some of my weirder stressors.

I want to see art for things like spider man noir without having to look at the trippy spiderverse artwork! Is that so wrong!? I just feel like people are gonna say I'm the crazy one for all of this. Maybe I'll have to make a new post about this. But if I do make one of those, it'll have to come later.

I hate the Spiderverse movies, but I like some of the alternative universes portrayed in the film. Still, I wish I could look up Spider Ham or Spider-Man Noir without seeing those movies. No offense to anyone who likes them. I just am highly resistant to change, and their artstyle throws me for a mental loop the size of a ferris wheel. Because i've decided to read the Spider-Ham stuff now (knowing it's probably some of the last 80s humour comics i want to read), and it's pretty good. I get why kids would've liked it. It's not nearly as wild as Roy Thomas's Captain Carrot stuff over at DC, but it's still pretty good for a talking animal book.

And you know, it'd just be nice to think of these comics without having to think about 15 other spider people! Give spider-ham his own space, damn you! Or at least pair him with Forbush Man or something. Marvel humour stars have to stick together. Because for all these spider verse movies talk a big talk about the multiverse, I don't think they actually tell you enough about the worlds. Bet nobody knows about The Hulk-Bunny! Or about Captain Americat. Or about the other superheroes on the anthropomorphic animal world. Bet almost nobody knows Spider Man Noir featured a cannibalistic circus freak version of the vulture (i only know due to a video game playthrough i watched years ago). All these minor things aren't covered, so i think that alone is proof these movies don't tackle their subjects with the dignity they deserve.

Finally! I'm done. Gods, do you know how long this took? At least a week. A week of dragging and dropping these icons on my tablet. I'm just glad it actually worked, because this was exhaustion incarnate. I have a 300+ character tierlist for marvel comics, but I don't know if i'll be able to complete that one in full. This one had 252 characters, and I skipped at least 10 or 20 of them. So it can distract the mind, but these longer lists only feel like exercises in futility sometimes. That said, I have stuff I can say about some of my rankings. I'll put some of it in above the image, and some under it. Also, one of the points I wrote below (that one where I said i'd beat myself up if I didn't have enough female characters in my s tier) is something I'm worried will lead to people judging me. So I'm sorry if that one makes me seem really weird.

A rule I very loosely enforced was that no heroes or antiheroes who killed people were allowed in my S tier. I love Jason Todd, but I can't let someone who kills fall into my top spot. I don't enjoy that in my fiction. My favourite media for DC is stuff like Batman 1966 and Lego DC and Batman: The Brave and The Bold. That should explain a lot of this list. It should also explain some of my other tiers. Oh, and I shoved etta candy and lois lane and rita farr into s tier because I would've guilt tripped myself and probably called myself sexist if I didn't (that sounds weird, but it is true). I seem to relate more to male characters sometimes, but then my brain wants to call me sexist for that (also, I have no proof of my prior statement. My mind's just being a jerk to me). But I swear i'm not! Gods damn it! It might be nothing, it might be I relate better to characters I can see something of myself in (and being male, male characters might have an advantage there?). It doesn't matter. But I had to get this whole thing off of my chest. Because this is awkward, I'm moving the rest of my text below the image. Feel free to keep reading and/or try to ask me questions later. I can't promise I'll have answers, but I'll try to think of something.

Booster Gold is a character I wanted to put in B tier, but I can't. I tend to hate his tv appearances, despite how I continually try to make myself like him. I just see that guy obsessed with fame and who's a shallow time traveller. There's a reason my rewrite of the character for my Justice League Canada series got rid of his time traveller origin story. I can't stand it, sadly. I really, really want to like him. But I can't lie and say I do.

Batman being in C represents my complicated feelings. I like him when he's in the 2004 cartoon, pre crisis comics, the 1960s series, batman: the brave and the bold, stuff like that. I hate batman in almost everything super dark and edgy or boring and grim. I know I'm picky, but I can't help that one. That's just a natural part of me. Green Arrow is only worse because I still somehow hate him more consistently than I do batman. James Arnold Taylor was the best Green Arrow, and I don't hate whoever's doing it for Batwheels.

I can't think of anything else I have to explain right now, but maybe I just missed something in plain sight. I can't really control that, though. So i'll make do. I'll just leave this here for now, because I'm out of words. Besides, I need to think of something to write in the tags. What characters to tag? I'll have to think on that.
