Name a Superhero you just can't stand
For some reason I've just never liked Spider-Man. He comes off as a whiney, ignorant child that never seems to grow up or mature despite everything he goes through. I love a good coming of age story, but he just never seems to become an adult.

Robin from the batman franchise, his character seems so extra and forced.
The original, too? He was the epitome of the necessary sidekick, and have Batman an external voice, other than just growing at criminals.
I love the classic TV Dynamic Duo.
I don't like robin but was collecting comics when he took on the nightwing persona and that sorta coincided with teen titans being pretty awesome and suddenly I liked the character. It made me actually like more of the robin characters including dick before the change.
I went through a goth phase, too; I liked the Nolan reboot, and Nightwing was sufficiently angsty; now I'm just tired of it. I think it peaked in Game of Thrones - you can't get much more depressingly negative than that - but I hope it swings back around to the golden age of optimism. You see signs, in movements like Solarpunk, but we've got a long way to go.
not sure I even went through a goth phase. its a lot like my music tastes. what society calls it has changed but it feels all the same to me. dork, geek, nerd, hippie, hipster. ok a bit of a change from childhood and adulthood there :). I am a doomer though but the must try kind. So pretty negative in that way but I still follow reduce, reuse, recycle
Don't you think all of the grimdark/cyberpunk/Dark Night stuff that started happening in the 90s is essentially goth leading leaking* into media? It all started happening in the same decade, and has been pervasive since.
Edit fscking autocorrect
I likely do not have a good perspective of that as it basically is when I went to college so I did not have the time I had especially when you take early career as well especially because I went an extra year, did one year in a PhD program and then after a year of work started looking to switch careers By the time I was back into things video/audio/gaming media got so good that text went the way of the dodo for me but even with that I have a good like decade of being not very plugged in.
The Adam West version is all good, I forgot about that one.
The live-action TV series was kind of like some of the early comic books I've seen -- the characters tooling around openly during the day.

I think I prefer the darker approach, where stuff happens at night.
They're almost different characters, aren't they? I'm fond of the original shows, but that's nostalgia.
