You have a good point. The death and suicide romance that makes Hellblazer a juicy dark grown-up epic is not what I would promote to children under the "get irony and gray scales" age. At all.

What... what does 'get irony and gray scales' age mean?

(Anonymous) 2017-02-23 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
DA I think they mean that kids under a certain age aren't good at moral ambiguity, and you wouldn't want to show them Constantine until they are?

Ooooooooh. Wow my brain is really off today. I read that in a ridiculous manner thinking it was a euphemism for things, I was like, "WTF IS GREY SCALES? IS THIS A COMIC THING?"

Jesus christ work fried my brain today.

I'm not the person who wrote it, but if I had to guess, they meant that the kids watching the show aren't old enough to fully grasp irony or that people are generally shades of grey rather than pure good or evil. At least, that's how it reads to me.

(Anonymous) 2017-02-23 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Hahaha, why would anyone think that's a good idea? I agree with you, Anon, that's ridiculous.

(Anonymous) 2017-02-23 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
My Constantine knowledge is limited to Arrow, so I don't really see the problem.

(Anonymous) 2017-02-23 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Eh, they'll take everything out of the character except the magic part.

I hear they made a Justice League Dark with him in it.

There have been multiple Constantine clones created to avoid having him in anything kids might read. They should have just brought in one of those.

Who other than Ambrose Bierce?

Ooh, they should use Dr. Occult!

Willoughby Kipling and Mister E (though he's sometimes a villain.) The Phantom Stranger can also be used in the same niche. Basically, the whole Trenchcoat Brigade.

But do they pronounce it Constan-teen or Constan-tine? This is important!

(Anonymous) 2017-02-23 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Tbf I don't think any kid is going to pick up hellblazer or find a hellblazer trade unless they go to a dedicated LCS. And since rebranded as Constantine, it's uh, well still not kid friendly but nowhere near as bad as the old trades. The one that I think was a really bad call were the animal man shorts that were promoted around nu52 era because that's not what animal man was at all and even before nu52 on vertigo it still wasn't... The slapstick barrel of laughs the shorts portrayed it as.

Hey, if they could make a kids show out of Cyber Six...
