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.

    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.

            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.
