Hey am I the only one here that as you get older in age you kind of feel less impressed with shows with tragic characters and over all tragic storylines where everyone is unhappy and struggling? Recently I have become somewhat disenchanted with batman and his over all dark persona and recently have gotten into Brave and the Bold. It's lighter funnier more capy version of him and I got to say I enjoy it. I hear alot of people bash it because "thats not batman" I feel the same way with the endind of the Nolan batman triliogy where Bruce Wayne sort of gets a Disney-esche ending where he survives and Alfred's dream for him comes true. I liked like that it ended that way.

At one point all I ever wanted to see was dark brooding characters with everything against them because I thought that was interesting, but lately I think that type of character is more depressing than engaging. I also thinking the old ninja turtles comics and the story "the river" (I think that was the name) where the turtles pretty much come to the depressing conclusion that they will never procreate and that they are ll they have. And I thought, wow, what a bleak and depressing prospect. The turtles will never know love.

I used to think this made them unique but now I kind of think thats just depressing and not as mystical I once thought it was. This may be a poor example to use since I think at least leo find love.

Its not that I want everything to have a happy ending or no conflict I do I just want a little pay off and resolution in my characters and storylines instead of constant doom and gloom. Dark doesn't always mean good. Anyone else know what I mean or feel the same way? I'm not as taken with the tragic characters or the storyline where horriable crap happens just because.
