Stargirl Creator Geoff Johns Shares Emotional Message About New DC Show

>To Everyone About To Watch Stargirl –

>I know you have real life concerns to deal with, as we all do, so if you are watching these I hope it’s to take a break from it and I’d encourage you to watch STARGIRL with your family. It’s what the show was created for and what the show is about -- and, quite frankly, right now is the time to be with family.

>I’ve written a lot of superhero stories in my career, but this is by far the most personal on every level. The cast, crew and everyone involved has given their talent and passion to bringing STARGIRL to life and I couldn’t be more grateful for them. I think their hard work paid off and, at the very least, I hope you smile a few times while you watch Brec Bassinger, playing Courtney, and Luke Wilson, playing Pat, take up their mantles individually and together.

>I apologize for the length of this “introductory” note. Weeks ago, I had thought it would be a simple paragraph or two. But now, I almost feel apologetic for assuming you have the time to watch STARGIRL. Again, thank you, and if anyone wants to talk further about the show, I’d be happy to.

Will you be watching STARGIRL, Yas Forums?

I want to read Stargirl. Recommended reading? JSA I assume

There's no TV show where this isn't true. Trying to be frank about things doesn't work. The show can only stand on its own and, if it can't, people won't watch it.
tl;dr I hate this kind of grovelling.

Stars and STRIPE

>sadistic fascist time travelling manlet
Damn they really to do more with Degaton.

Okay then.

This is whose playing her? You mean she hasn't been multicultured or diverisified? I don't believe it.

A blue-eyed, blonde white girl? Twitter must be having a meltdown.

Johns isn’t going to stand by and let some Hollywood faggot mess with his pet character who was created to honor his late sister. Even if they tried to, there would be backlash surrounding the disrespect to a deceased young girl

She reminds me of my sister, when she was younger.

>twitter must be having a meltdown
Nope.

Can't be worse than Batwoman.

>CW DC
Sorry Cereal Man, but that’s an instant no-go for me. Hundreds of episodes, yet nothing but trash.

You cant just say that and then not supply us with creepshots

Batwoman is weirdly decent. The villain carries it, but I’d say BW, Arrow and Black Lightning have been good. While Flash, Supergirl and Legends have been meh.

>Batwoman is weirdly decent.
It's really not. Not even weirdly.
>The villain carries it
Only the actress delivers a good performance. The villain itself is horribly written.

How does Geoff cope with knowing people hold inappropiate fantasies towards an expy of his little sister?

>implying johns doesn't also want to fuck stargirl
Johns self inserts as Captain Marvel, that's why he tried to make the tow of them a couple.

They'll probably have her date the biggest blackest dick

>implying johns would allow his sisterfu to get blacked

Dude. Everyone knows Hal is his self insert.

I want to marry Star Girl. Every version of her at the same time.

It's a DCU show. Not a CW show.

>MUH SISTER DIED IN 9/11 ;_;
>I MUST SHOEHORN MY OC DONUT STEEL OF HER EVERYWHERE NOW

Both of your memearrows are retarded

Johns is disgusting, using his dead sister to sell the idea of the show? The guy should just enjoy his huge royalties paycheck and shut up.

Courtney is for Billy

Johns is a hollywood faggot.

She died in a car wreck you fucking idiot

>retarded
Just like DC

So what's your problem? You step deserve each other

>Character is important to him because it honors his deceased sister
>All he says is that family is important
>”What the hell? Fuck Johns reeeee!!!”
Faggot

Give it up user. These "people" will take any excuse to shit on Johns, including his dead sister, just because he's popular and a halfway decent writer.

It doesn't matter. His production company is behind batwoman, (you know what show his company wasn't involved? Doom Patrol)

I’ve known that for years and they’re some of the biggest faggots on this board

What a stuck up prick.

Same difference

she died in a plane crash...

But written, casted, and directed by different people and given a budget comparable to titans and doom patrol but I guess none of that matters?

She died in a plane crash unrelated to 9/11

courtney kisses billy, but she only fucks captain marvel

I want cartoons, not live-action capeshit.

>using your dead sister as a selling tool
If you don't understand why is wrong you should shut up, you don't see Fran Drescher trying to talk about being raped all the time, there was no need for this, there's ways to things "in memory" of someone that are not in poor taste, Johns uses the tragedy of his sister to shill a show his company is getting paid to make, he get royalties as the show creator. This show wasn't born out of someone at WB searching material to adapt, but Johns convincing his suit friends to adapt some shit he created.Everything you will get will be made by johns so he can get paid fatter checks.

same. a stargirl/jsa cartoon would have been great.

Stargirl is based on his sister and as long as he's in DC he will try to keep that character unchanged and resembling pic related (who is half Lebanese by the way, so is Geoff).

Titans was shit, this will be shit too. The budget isn't the issue with this shit.

why is this esl faggot sperging so much?

Sounds cringe as fuck.

I get the feeling this is more about you trying to find excuses to attack Johns when all he wanted to do was immortalize his sister in comics. If he was just in it for the money, he wouldn’t be so autistically possessive and defensive over the character. Go fuck yourself you urchin

I will add to this user and say it's been 20 fucking years. Move the fuck on, this is just in poor taste, what may have once been an honest and pure attempt from him to remember his sister that had died not long ago, maybe a way for him to cope, has turned into nothing but cheap drama and marketing.

Isn't Stargirl the female version of an older hero?

>out of touch anons really think it's in poor taste to explain the personal connection and origins of a lesser known character before the character's first tv show starts

You guys are taking this the wrong way. Stargirl is a literal who to casuals, and this will be her big debut to a wide audience (besides the CW appearance of course). All he’s saying is that the character has special meaning to him to these people. There’s nothing wrong with that. You fags immediately try to twist it as a sick marketing tactic

All this drama could have been skipped if he was a normal person and just dedicated the first episode to her as most professionals do. "in memory of..." is more than enough for someone who has been dead for 23 years. If he wanted to talk about this he could have just "opened up" when asked about this during an interview, this is just attention-seeking behaviour.

Which reminds me of how Marguerite Benett had Stargirl going down in flames on an airplane with tears in her eyes and screaming for help at Supergirl for help in Bombshells. Then she fucking kills her by having her sacrifice herself by ramming into a giant robot, lol.

their autism doesn't allow them to understand things like this

Was it autism?

Which issues/run are the Stargirl/Billy ship?

It's cute that you're pretending to be 2 people.

Exactly.

I heard Johns banged the main actress

>You fags immediately try to twist it as a sick marketing tactic
Johns is a Hollywood producer.

And? Who fucking cares? You disgust me

>Call me big brother, put emphasis on the big part
