Hello, everyone. This is just a real simple RP idea that I'm wondering if anyone's interested in.

So, a lot of the superhero stuff I see around is super grimdark. I mean, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Winter Soldier, every Batman run in the last 10 years(at the least), it's kind of... Well, suffocating. Bar the Spiderman cartoon on Disney XD, there's not a lot of lighthearted superhero stuff running around. So, that's what this RP would be. Basically instead of being all grimdark it'd be a lot closer to Silver Age comics. Again, think Ultimate or Spectacular Spiderman cartoons as opposed to, say, Hush.

Anyone interested?

Are you sure you want Golden Age? Silver Age is where EVERYBODY was lighthearted. Golden Age didn't have the "No killing" rule, so lots of superheroes were a little bloodthirsty.

Silver Age was where Batman wore a rainbow suit to help defeat a colour-based villain and it introduced us to his Bat-Shark Repellent, the Justice League had a baseball match against the Legion of Doom, we got a continuity of Spider-Man where a Spider was bitten by a Radioactive Human to become Man-Spider. We got a Haunted Tank as a superhero, a load of really racist comics. Comics became relevant, as far as product placement went, so we had Lex Luthor stealing 40 Hostess fruit-cakes. The Tandy-Computer Whizz-kids, the greatest fruit based superhero ever and all other crazy fun things.

I love the idea of the age of heros as opposed to the age of vigilantes
Also I have noticed a huge number of dark hero/vigilante types created OC
Don't get me wrong I too loved Watchman but cringe when I see them mirrored in RPs

@RumikoOhara I enjoy playing the only fun-loving character in those RP's.

I did mean silver-age. That said, I don't think we'd reach that level of ridiculousness, but the tone'd be much closer to there than all the grimdarks running around.

I'm guessing that you would want something closer to the Silver Age Marvel rather than DC. Still fun and silly in its own way, but grounded in solid themes and storytelling. Maybe even touching on the Justice League animated cartoon as well.

So, um, since this seems to be more "serious plots, not grimdark, but over the top stuff happens and nothing gets gritty and stupid" I am interested and have an idea.

Well, we certainly have enough people to start. I'll try to get an OOC up by Monday at the latest. I would like to get it up earlier, but, alas, I have to study for my midterm exams.

I'd say that comedy is everywhere now and dark is rare.

Yeah I have no idea what the hell Weird Tales is on about. It's either "Quirky" or needlessly wrist-slashing grimdark.

might be interested I normally do some type of dark charter. It would be fun to try the other side of the coin.
