I was rewatching BvS last night and honestly my favorite thing (or one of my favorite things) about it was all the God/Superman parallels and how Clark dealt with it. Like, throughout the movie people either worshipped him as a god, a savior or they condemned him out of fear of the unknown. I really loved how the movie explored the concept of: here’s this alien we know nothing about that’s flying around trying to save the world and we have no clue what to do with him. It showed the fickleness of humanity. How one minute we’ll be in total awe of something only to turn on it when something happens that we don’t like/approve of/understand. I haven’t read the comics so I’m not sure if this can be found there as well, but I feel like the parallels are especially relevant to today and I’m so happy it was in the movie. The world seems to be searching for a hero but if one came along how would we treat them?

Whispers to myself: I am going to drag as many of my Tolkien followers into DC (Batman) hell with me as I can. I will do so by highlighting that there is canon discourse over hair colors and earlier story/characterization versions, high drama between brothers and brothers-in-arms, and everybody dies but mostly gets better.

I just need everyone at WB to know that the Superman presented in Justice League did not fill me with hope or optimism because that wasn’t Superman, that was the flanderization of his character not only from the two movies with him but from the comics as well. 

Miss me with the whole “he’s full of optimism now” because no, he was not, we saw literally nothing of the sort, all of those scenes were cut. He saved an empty building and quipped, which part of that makes him more hopeful than he’s been in MoS or BvS? So again, miss me with the Lies, because telling me that instead of showing me that is tiring.

I feel like there should be a better understanding of the different classifications of fan content enjoyment.

Like there’s obviously the “I love this because I basically share the same headcanon” tier and the “this is not my headcanon at all and I hate it” tier.

But there’s also the “Wow, I don’t share this headcanon but it’s really interesting and I enjoy reading about it” tier, which imho doesn’t get acknowledged enough and it’s absolutely valid and encompasses a lot of my personal fandom experience. It’s also closely related to “Wow, this isn’t my headcanon but I wish I thought of it, damn,” which is also common. 

There’s also the “I hate this but I’m also morbidly intrigued so I’m just gonna go with it for now” tier. 

And the “this is dumb and probably ooc but I kind of love it so fight me” tier.

‘Tis a vast and varied spectrum. I personally REALLY enjoy seeing what other people come up with, even if I don’t agree with it or share the same ideas, and while of COURSE I like seeing stuff that lines up with my personal views, I’m not all that creative, so I like to see what other people do, too. I mean, at the end of the day I’m a fan of the original canon, so even if I’m playing in somebody else’s wacky sandbox, I can always go back to that. I always have my vision and my ideas and my images, but it’s fun to see different interpretations sometimes. 

With tags because hell yeah: 

#headcanons#fan fiction#it’s really why I love the silm fandom so much because fan content is so varied#there’s no ‘official’ visual medium for it and the narrative is so sparse so headcanons are all over the place#it’s a lot of fun#like there’s always gonna be stuff you hate but there’s so much creativity in this fandom I really enjoy it
