/wes/ - Western & Alternative Style

Who's your favorite superhero?
What's your favorite supership?
What superpower would you like to have?

>>696
Ah, beat my to it.

>Favorite superhero
Maybe I'm basic but I've always loved Batman, great rouge gallery, I like the Batfamily, and the dark gothic aesthetic of most of his comics and movies is super appealing. For Marvel it'd be X-men comics, large amount of fun characters with unique powers. X-force members in particular are my favorites.

>What's your favorite supership?

Spideypool - Fan content helped a lot, but also I love their canon interactions. Two light-hearted snarky friends hanging out.

Dan/Rorschach - Dan literally lets Ror just steal from him repeatedly and clearly wants to help his friend with issues. I think this ship has big hurt/comfort vibes.

Batman/Literally any of his villains - I absolutely love the way he can play off of them. Relationships with a reformed Riddler from that time when Edward ran a detective agency is a personal favorite, but I also love anytime Bruce gets non-conned by a villain.

>What superpower would you like to have?

Teleportation, I would leave my house a lot more if I didn't have to drive everywhere, lol.


Here's a few more questions I think could help the thread.

>Favorite adaptation?
>Any particular comics you'd rec?
>Thoughts on the current state of movies and or comics?
>Things, crossovers, ideas you'd like to see in the future.

My favorite hero is probably spiderman. But I'll be honest, I may only like him because of the Raimi trilogy. Maguire is cutest twink in the world, or he was, and I got attached to his cheesiness.

I know this isn't a western media board so I won't post the gif- but him walking down the street in an all black suit snapping his fingers and dancing like he thinks he's hot shit is the best thing in the world.

Dropping some dirty fanart of the best ship, NSFW.

>Who's your favorite superhero?
Not relevant to this thread but Wonder Woman. Relevant to this thread, Spider-Man.

>What's your favorite supership?
DC: Dan/Rorschach. Brainiac 5/Invisible Kid. Booster Gold/Blue Beetle. Superman/Lex Luthor.
Marvel: Cap/Tony. Wolverine/Cyclops[/Emma/Jean OT4]. Thor/Loki. Xavier/Magneto. Luke Cage/Iron Fist. Spider-Man/Harry Osborn. Cable/Deadpool.
[No offense I don't understand you Spideypool girlies! Peter/Harry is RIGHT THERE! CABLE/DEADPOOL IS RIGHT THERE!]

>What superpower would you like to have?
Teleportation definitely.

>Favorite adaptation?
DC: Batman: Under the Red Hood is the best piece of Batman media in my opinion. DCAU. Brave and the Bold. Green Lantern: The Animated Series. Donner's Superman. Snyder's Watchmen. Wonder Woman 2009 and 2017 and the TV show. I liked the DC Animated Movie Universe too. From what I've heard The Legion of Superheroes cartoon seems like the type of thing this thread would love (I need to actually watch it).
Marvel: Phase 1 MCU. Raimi's Spider-Man. Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon. Netflix Daredevil. X-Men 1-3 and First Class. X-Men cartoon. Deadpool.

>Any particular comics you'd rec?
Legally required to say "read reboot Legion of Superheroes" for this cute Green Boy (the panel I posted is from later, but he's still cute!)
https://www.amazon.com/Legionnaires-Book-One-1993-2000-ebook/dp/B06XT8GWPV/
Read Cable & Deadpool! (I need to take this advice, I haven't read it since like… 2009)
Read the Spider-Man Epic Collections!

>Things, crossovers, ideas you'd like to see in the future.
>Thoughts on the current state of movies and or comics?
I've been out of comics for a while. I'm due for a reinvigoration of my obsession, honestly!
One of my favorite older fandom era things is Ship Manifestos on LJ.
Here's a Cap/Tony one https://ship-manifesto.livejournal.com/204146.html
Here's a Cable/Deadpool one, but sadly all the images are broken. https://ship-manifesto.dreamwidth.org/175601.html

>>700
Gifs are probably fine since there's so many cape movies. People in the slasher thread do post them at least

>>701
>One of my favorite older fandom era things is Ship Manifestos on LJ.

I miss these too! Sometimes people post them on A03 still, but they aren't nearly as common.

I love villain on hero, but hero on hero can also be nice

>>712
Hero/hero shipping can be fun, I really like Blue Beetle x Booster Gold.

People into the teenage heroes eat so well, bit jealous but the art is great.

I'm obsessing over scarebat, so sad there are few fanarts and fanfictions about them.

>>701
you fucking get it. harry is by far the best choice for peter(and I am so obsessed with those two) but like, if you're gonna pair him with another super there's so many better options than deadpool. cable/deadpool is so good too, started reading X-Men stuff after a friend linked me a fic and now I'm in deep.
spideypool is so dumb and I hate that Marvel's stooped to the level of acknowledging it.
also, I'm with ya on that ot4. you've got really good taste all around. (I doubt you're actually gonna see this because I'm replying to a year old post)

on that note, the new spider-man game has been giving me a reason to live. i'm not huge on how Venom was portrayed in that game but I can ignore it because holy shit are Peter and Harry gay as fuck. even their VAs think so. have some art, artist name in filename

>>844
Which version of it do you like nonna? I remember Nolanverse had a ton of Scarebat content back in the day, but it's hard to find for comicsverse because RiddleCrow dominates. Personally think ScareBat is cute in any canon since there is that fear connection.

>>844
There was this insane fic about them that single handedly got me to read capeshit because I wanted to know what drove the author to make something like that. Their dynamic in Begins easily explained it.

tldr Bruce finds a fear gassed Crane and takes him home.

>>898
I tend to prefer when it's more comics centric, but do enjoy Nolanverse too.
Out of the many ships between Batman and his rogues, scarebat remains my favorite because of how maladaptive Jonathan is when the situation involves relationships with other people.

Thank you, I'll give it a read.

I'm reading Empowered for the first time and despite it being the western equivalent of a fetish fueled ecchi Manga, it's genuinely a fun read with incredibly likable characters. Plus I love that the protagonist is a canon fujoshi, even if it isn't brought up that often in the story.

>>1000
Oh neat! Heard of this series but didn't realize the MC was a fujo, that's pretty cool. Final panel there is hilarious.

>>1000
I love Emp being a fujo, my favorite part is when her roomate points out that she hates all of those dudes and Emp laments that they're so hot.

>>1001
>>1002
Emp's other fujo superhomies looking up bl of their teammates after seeing them getting raped/murdered/cannibalized by Willy Pete left a bad taste in my mouth. I know they're canonically ginormous assholes but that feels like it's something more on par with what you'd see in The Boys.

>>1004
Empowered IS super edgy, nonna, don't forget that at one point the ninja that's sent to retrieve Emp's roomate threatens to cut her legs so she won't be able to escape her fate of bearing babies for her clan.

Robin x Robin will always be my preferred ship for Dick Grayson. I like him best with Jason for maximum angst, but I'll take him with Tim Drake too.

>>1006
the other robins don't deserve a flimsy whore like Dick. Slade is the only one that can handle him.

>>1007
See I never got into Dick/Slade, but I think thats because I never watched Teen Titans, was that your entrypoint to the ship or something else?

I love them

Couldn't embed, sorry

I love them. Tumblr is useful for once.

Honestly it's fascinating how much Supes has influenced my taste in bottoms. I looove strong, sweet (generally) gentle guys with good moral cores like… damn. I only sat and thought about it recently but damn if it doesn't explain a lot of my taste. It's kinda funny actually. Wow. Easiest way to get me to like a guy, I'm so simple.

>>1028
Big and somewhat intimidating but actually sweet and would never harm a fly is a favorite of mine and more family-oriented depictions of supes scratches that itch well, though I never could find anyone I really wanted to ship him with.

Needed somewhere to talk about these two.. Poolverine / deadclaws whatever people are calling it is srsly rotting my brain. I'm nonstop thinking about it and I was literally gripping my seat trying not to pass out in the movie theatre when they were fighting in the honda odyssey…… Can anyone relate (●'◡'●)

>>1031
Was never my favorite ship for Wolverine or Deadpool but I can see the potential due to the Weapon X connection. Haven't seen the new movie yet, glad to here there's some shipping to be had!

>>1032
I really recommend it!! It was so good, there's a bunch of homoerotic scenes in it (yet no actual sex unfortunately. There's a frotting innuendo scene though). If you choose to see it then I hope you like it!!

>>1033
Sounds right up my alley, but I'll have to wait until a scallywag ports his ship onto shore with the movie among his booty.

>>1031
I'm not into capeshit but my friends are and they convinced me to go see this in the movies. No regrets kek it was so unabashedly homoerotic! I wasn't very familiar with these characters so I wasn't expecting it at all.
I hear you on the Honda odyssey scene that was so intense. It legit felt like a long drawn out sex scene with all that grunting and straddling going on. I could almost taste all the gorey hatesex fanfics being written right there kek
What did you think about the ending nonna? While the whole roommates situation is really sweet, I'm personally not a big fan of domestic fluffy stuff and prefer my BL couples to be in a constant state of angst and misery. Wouldn't it be more fun if logan fucked off and wade spent the rest of his days pining after him and regretting not making a move? Idk maybe that goes against the whole message of the movie and their character growth but its interesting to think about.

>>1035
!!!! Thank you for replying to me omg I love talking to other poolverine fans.. Seems like a stupid thing to be thanking someone for but, what do I know. This ship has rotted my brain so much to the point where I'm actually excited over someone talking to me about it.

The Honda odyssey scene — im so so so glad you thought the same way. My irls thought I was batshit crazy for interpreting it like that, but DP literally had his leg over Wolverine's shoulder and he was full on manspreading beckoning him to "come here". I haven't found the perfect gory hatesex fic yet but it's a very recent movie, maybe im just impatient kek

As for the ending, I do agree with you. It's a little bit tame, but it's a cute ending for a somewhat heartwarming movie. I would've really liked for him to suddenly ditch Logan like he did with Vanessa in the first movie, you know? And then they spend years yearning for one another, regretting not furthering their relationship and are just constantly miserable whilst thinking about each other. The whole shebang.

I did think it was really cute when Wade introduced Wolverine as "Logan" to Blind Al though, I was sooo freaking happy omg I was fujoing out. Like yay they're on a first name basis ? It felt like he was introducing his boyfriend to his mom

>>1037
>Wade introduced Wolverine as "Logan" to Blind Al
Oh I didn't even catch that! That's so cute now that you mention it.
Another scene I liked was when they were fighting all the other deadpools from the different dimensions and wolverine never mistakenly attacked "his" deadpool. Like he just instinctively knew which one was "his". Kek or it could be the fact that this deadpool was the only one not attacking him, but a fujo can dream anyway.

>>1031
I relate! I just got back from the movies, and during that scene I turned to my friend and said "That was so homoerotic" hahaha. Wanna draw loads of Wolverine tearing deadpool to shreds
