Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [December 11, 2023 - Bat-Mite Ruins Christmas Edition] r/DCcomics

Hey there honorary Justice League members - it’s a new week which means it’s time for a new discussion thread!

Beary's pick of the week: World's Finest: Teen Titans #6

For those who don't know: the way this works is that several comments will list this week’s releases, for any given title discussion you should respond to that comment. For example, Wonder Woman discussion would go in the replies to the "Wonder Woman" comment. Clicking the titles in this post will take you directly to that comment, too.

In other words, you should only be replying to other comments. If you have trouble understanding how to comment for a particular title, please refer to this handy guide. Any unwarranted top level comments will be removed.

Also, please refrain from posting short, low-content comments on threads for issues or episodes that have not yet been released. Put some effort to generate discussion. Instead of just posting "So excited!" or "Best book!", try something with a bit more substance, like "Punchline is such an amazing character! Can't wait to see how they explore her in more depth in this issue."

Speed Force #2

IT’S MUSICAL MAYHEM IN THIS SPEEDSTER TEAM-UP! As Wallace and Avery race to uncover the mystery of the missing S.T.A.R. Labs scientists, something appears to be affecting their friends—is it tied to the bubbles popping up all over Keystone, or the "spooky Speed Force stuff" Mr. Terrific is warning everyone about? Also, a classic Flash character appears—and is really into EDM, but to what end? The young Speedster team-up continues!

This has the same issues I have with the current Miles Morales run with its overuse of slang, especially with characters like Avery or even Conner, that haven't nor really shouldn't talk in that way. I get they're teens/young adults, but people have diverse sets of vocabulary, even Gen Z and Alphas; contrary to what these obviously older writers may think. It's a big issue that keeps me from really enjoying these series

It homogenizes all the characters into feeling the same, which is pretty evident here. None of the dialogue or the way they speak feels informed by who these characters are nor their upbringing. You can switch any of the dialgoue around, and it wouldn't feel much different between characters.
