Re: Great source; baaaaaad fic
(Anonymous) 2016-02-24 02:41 am (UTC)(link)Don't get me wrong, I've read some good stuff. But for the size of the fandom, the quality (or, okay, POTENTIAL) of the source material [I love Marvel, but they're not necessarily *good* movies so much as really fun movies that could be actual good movies, ya feel?], and the number of amazing opportunities for subverting, rewriting, or filling out canon, I've had an extraordinarily hard time finding very much that rises above the most basic, OOC, badly-written junk.
Case in point: literally any story about Tony's relationship with his father is all about how cruel, emotionless, and grade-obsessed Howard is and has an 89% chance of containing the phrase "Stark men are made of iron." (YOU'RE NOT ORIGINAL OR CLEVER PLEASE STOP) I love angst as much as the next person, but I don't care about a cookie-cutter Rich Mean White Dad + Secretly Sensitive Genius Son; I'd much rather see somebody actually explore the relationship between a really eccentric guy who used to be a riot and now has the entire weight of worldwide nuclear destruction on his shoulders and his son who's too smart for his own good and not great at emotional processing and desperate to please and emulate that deeply flawed guy. But no, Stark men are made of iron.
And that's just the example that's currently near and dear to my heart. WHY IS ALL THE FIC SO BAD????
