Character Opinion Bingo (Send Characters Please, Haha.)

Finally watched Across the Spider-verse, initial thoughts:

I love how Across the Spiderverse basically went out of its way to say that things like the spider society and the TVA are fascist. That's my favorite thing, lmao.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I got major 'We don't talk about the MCU in this household' vibes from Across the Spiderverse. They made reference to it, yeah, but it felt more like it was a joke than anything else. (Which I appreciate, because modern MCU is trash.)

Not Hobie Brown being suddenly added to my list of favorite Marvel characters, lol. (Along with Pavitr Prabhakar, oh my god.)

Excellent. Kind of wish it didn't end on a cliffhanger, but if that's what you have to do to tell the story well, I'm more than willing to wait on what happens next.

I finally watched the new Batman movie with Robert Pattinson. ... It was pretty good. 

Softcore spoilers: God, can we talk about the Riddler in this movie, that man was creepy as fuck-Reminded me of some true-crime serial killers, my guy. (Or some people I was antiquated with that ended up killing someone, but that’s neither here nor there-) I mean, at first when I saw that diner scene, I thought it was a little goofy but the longer they held on him, it just became...unsettling. Paul Dano did a great job, ngl. Even his room looked like something you’d see in a true crime documentary-

I’m also going to assume that rat trap was a reference to medieval torture methods, which if that is the case, well done. Lucas Baker lookin’ ass.

Yeah, I quite enjoyed it. There were a few snags, (Much like Batman in the squirrel suit scene.) but that’s to be expected, no movie is perfect, after all.

I agree with Pattinson. Would you spare a sequel, kind sir?

When I was bullied in school, they usually focused on me being ugly, the things I made being ugly (being an artist), my love of fantasy and mythology, or me being weird/stupid.

With that in mind, I’m honestly not sure. Most rogues/villains are at least smart, lol. So, if we’re talking which already existing villain/rogue I’d be, I’m kind of stumped. (Though, to be fair, what I lack is scholarly intelligence. Not cleverness.) Maybe, depending on the version, Mad Hatter? I don’t think so though.

However, if we’re talking about who would I be in a more ‘original character’ sense... The first thing that came to mind is some kind of Rumpelstiltskin or Cheshire cat-themed character. Idk, I think it kind of fits. (Or maybe that’s just my recent hyperfixation on Once upon a time and Alice in wonderland talking, who knows?)

So everyone, if this was the DCU, what kind of villain/rouge would you be based on what you’ve been bullied for as a kid?

If anyone says they’d be a hero you’re BLOCKED!

Tumblr’s blocking a bunch of words, huh? Cool. Can’t wait for this to turn into Tumblr purge 2 electric boogaloo.

MCU Hogwarts houses

Edit: Making this clear, I do not support JK Rowling or Harry Potter anymore.

Loki- Slytherin. Was there any contest? I don’t think so. His aesthetic, their personality, his vibe even, it all screams Slytherin. Thor- Gryffindor. Courage, Daringness, nerve, and Chivalry. All of those things are the main components of Thor’s personality. It also works for the sibling rivalry situation between him and his brother. Captain America- Gryffindor. I’ve seen a few people argue Hufflepuff and I honestly don’t get it. Steve is the embodiment of truth, justice, and the american dream. So much so that he’s willing to throw out his loyalty to the american government to uphold his moral compass. Thus, Gryffindor is the only choice for him in my book. Iron Man- I feel confident in saying he’d be a Ravenclaw. His first instinct when it comes to running into a problem is using the tech he manufactured to his advantage, and using his intelligence to come up with plans that people often don’t expect. (Iron man 3′s ending fight scene anyone?) He literally builds his identity on his intelligence and what it grants him. Bruce Banner- In my opinion, I feel like he’d also be a Ravenclaw. Shock to no-one, Mr ‘I have seven PHDs how many does Hulk have’ is a Ravenclaw. (Hulk doesn’t get his own hogwarts house.) Pietro Maximoff- Gryffindor. Pietro can’t be a Hufflepuff because like most speedsters, he has very little to no patience. He’s also the type to literally die trying to save someone, even soeone he had an unspoken rivalry with, which is far more of a Gryffindor trait than a Hufflepuff one to me.  Wanda Maximoff- A fellow Slytherin after my own heart. Resourceful, Cunning, and Ambitious, there’s no way that she could be anything else. She even fits the vibe of a Slytherin. Mysterious, somewhat intimidating, but isn’t outright evil.  Vision- He’s a Ravenclaw, no contest. This man is literally a super-computer, he has knowledge for days. Falcon- Hufflepuff. There is no other option. This man is a Hufflepuff, period. Bucky- Gryffindor. Figures Steve’s best friend would share the same house. Courage, nerve, chivalry, it’s all the same as it was for Steve. Spiderman- Hufflepuff. I mean, no wonder he’s one of my favorites- Peter clearly has the valuing hard-work aspect of Hufflepuffs down. He greatly admires the work everyone round him puts in, and even more greatly values people’s dedication. In terms of courage and chivalry, he’s not as well-rounded in those areas imo, and while he’s intelligent and clever, it’s definitely not his defining attributes. And...he’s not a Slytherin. I don’t think I even need to explain why. Starlord- Slytherin. Hear me out on this one. P quill’s situation is a bit hard to pin down, but I think of all the houses, Slytherin fits him the best. Maybe not in general aesthetics, but in the core personality traits. Griffyndor doesn’t fit mainly because of Peter’s lack of chivalry. Sure, he saved the galaxy, but in terms of genuine care for the people around him, it usually only applies to people he has a genuine bond with. Hufflepuff, he fits the aesthetic of one, the ‘fun-loving himbo’, but besides that, he doesn’t really have much in common with them. However, he’s street-smart, resourceful, and very ambitious. Attempting to make a name for himself and be the leader of any group he finds himself working with. (I mean, he tries to one-up Thor constantly, after all.) T’challa- Hufflepuff. The aesthetics betray the core principals that make up each house I notice. As, T’challa isn’t the partying himbo type, but he’s very loyal to Wakanda and his people/ancestry/culture. He does put value in hard work and dedication, and he’s nothing if not a patient man. I mean his core fighting plan is waiting for just the right moment to strike, like a real panther, so- Ant-man- Griffyndor. Chivalry is his thing. He literally went to prison because he hacked and ‘stole’ back money for people who were conned out of it. Courage? Well, he’s certainly not a coward. This guy is just one of those characters that fits very well into one specific house without much need for explanation. Dr Strange- Ravenclaw. Again: Fits very well into one specific house without much need for explanation. Hela- Slytherin. Like, as if there wasn’t already enough reasons to point out the ‘pick which of these three is adopted’ meme-

Random idea:

An Elseworlds story where Year one Scarecrow becomes an anti-hero.

He’s not a member of the bat-family, but he works with them every so often. He starts as a straight-up villain at the beginning of the comic as usual, but after being defeated by Batman, having his fear toxin turned around on him kind of acts as a ‘wake up call’? 

I came up with four separate scenarios and scenes that could take place in a universe like that. He almost becomes a red hood-like figure, but with fear toxin, snake venom, and crows. Lots of crows.

Might be a bit of a stretch but one of the ideas I had involved Karen moving to Gotham after the events of the comic. (Without her husband, she needed a job and a place to live, so she moved to some crap apartment with Jon’s sister. Everyone assumed Jon died, so she had no real worry about him popping up again.) Only to hear about this ‘Scarecrow’ running around and realizing she made a terrible mistake. Karen and Jon’s sister end up becoming reoccurring characters. (With, by the way, no incentive in the slightest for Jon to forgive her, in fact, it’s actually the opposite.)

In that type of scenario, a situation arises, as Karen gets into trouble with loan sharks and it results with Jon’s sister begin kidnapped. Jon finds out about this and saves her, maybe having some internal monologue about it, then returns her to Karen in person. (Basically to say ‘I’m not going to kill you anymore. Not because I don’t think you deserve it, but because Batman made me realize you’re not worth my time.’) Then he leaves.

This basically sums up how I imagine this type of story going. But honestly, that still could leave a lot of potential character relationships, scenarios, and other things open for possibilities. 

I assure you, brother, the sun will shine on us again.

made a part 2 since people liked it so much!
