I don't think I'd write Heath Ledger's Joker since that's already been done. I was talking about alternative interpretations; different depictions from what we'd seen so far. If it's compelling, does it really matter if it's not the exact Joker that Heath Ledger would have played?

Yes, and they were still the official creators. Sturgeon's law applies, as my friend above pointed out. I'm nearly 99% sure that you could write a good take of the character yourself, if you tried hard enough. I'm not saying this as encouragement - I'm saying it as fact. All it takes to write is...

Superman, Batman, and Terminator each have dozens of creators, and at least in the case of Superman and Batman, some of those creators have clashed over what the character should be about and look like. They official writers are not always chosen for their "unique spirit." Half of the time, it's...

It was an example; maybe a bad one, because the writing process of One Piece boils down to Oda writing, and taking advice from editors if he likes it. My point is, what you're implying, whether implicitly or directly, is that I can't make a portrayal Luffy. Either because the character of Luffy...

Again - we delve into categorization, but on the inverse side. There's a difference between ripping off, paying a homage to, and writing a character. One Piece's anime isn't written by someone else. It's still ultimately an adaptation of the manga; are they wearing someone else's face? If I...

Is that a problem, so long as the character is recognizable and their story entertaining/educational/evocative of emotion? I agree, but I think a better example can be made out of Joaquin Phoenix's Joker. The character of Arthur has enough developmental facets that you could slot in almost any...

Politely and very strongly disagree. You have Batman or Superman comic books with different writers over the years: Bob Kane, Bill Finger, Frank Miller, Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster, John Byrne - go and look online, you'll find a dozen writers or more. Movies on those same characters, with...

You can ban my body, but the soul thrives on, and in vengeance, it thrums. And what a vengeance it is! Mercy? Justice? What are those things? I made a promise. The Truth emblazoned upon my very soul screams for something else, and for so long as its screams reach for the skies above, so long...

Though your administration may burn bright like the stars in the sky, the sword of creation held above them is greater still.

This is the third time (or more?) that my name was spoken in this thread. As with all demons, I have now been summoned and feel obliged to post. Let's start. The Valerian Crew @Paint The Wind @Baku the Shipping Lord @Kylesar1 @FireMaiden @Safety Hammer & others. Also, @Archdemon as an honorable...

*Salutes* Godspeed, you magnificent buck. Godspeed.

Imagine, one day, after the people's language has changed extremely and the words 'Giant Fucking Worm' no longer have any meaning to the average person, a scholar uncovers an ancient text describing the creature. Everyone calls it "Giant Fucking Worm" phonetically, without understanding where...

The main antagonist - an ancient, evil lich who was well over six-hundred years old - became spontaneously sexually attracted to bees. No one can explain it. He conquered the land of the Apiana (bee-people, essentially) just to fulfill his fetish. He cultivated a bunch of beehives on his...

- The most probable causes of a gas leak - Igniting a match during a gas leak - What will happen to me if I ignite a match during a gas leak? - How much heat does a gas leak ignition produce? - How much heat does methane produce upon combustion? - What temperatures does cremation require? - How...

Clickbait.

I never said they should be.

No idea, but all stories must have an end.

I've found that interaction between these kinds of characters is interesting, actually. It's like putting a wolf and a drunk rabbit in the same cage and seeing what happens. Limiting the pool of baddies to only serious masterminds might not result in staleness if executed well, but the variety...

Yeah, you can, and I've seen it work, but they can't be on the same team. You seem pretty stalwart in that belief for some reason, but that's just stupid. Did you ever participate in a RP where a requirement for the villains was to be a true monster? Or one where you have to be a whacko? Or...
