DC Relaunching Everything? - Part 6

[trustyside-kick]

Her first arc was good.

What did Simone do with WW? I can't recall what writer was writing when I briefly for a few issues wanted to check out WW but I think it might have been Simone.

 

[Mystirious]

Eh. Remember how everyone thought Simone was born to write Wonder Woman too?

Simone on Wonder Woman getting no love ;_;

But Suicide Squad is exactly the sort of comic book she writes so well Corp

You know you would buy it

Wonder Woman has joined the club of 100,000+.

Fun on a bun

Though at the moment I'm not very optimistic about where the story is going

 

[hippie_hunter]

I disagree

I don't think loving more than one person is selfish and I think as long as everyone in the relationship is happy there's nothing wrong with being in a relationship with more than one person or marrying more than one person. My girlfriend and i have been in an open relationship for quite a while and we've both been very happy with it.

I think Scandal choosing to marry both women whom she loves is very unselfish. It woukd be selfish if she forced Liana or Knockout into this marriage when they werent happy to share her love. But as all three women are happy to be married together I don't think there's anything selfish about it at all. I think its heartwarming and lovely

There's nothing wrong with an open relationship if both partners in a relationship agree to it, but Knockout and Liana don't even know each other. She didn't even talk to them about marrying them both. So instead of making a decision like regular people would, she chose the more selfish route of having them both.

But all three of them being happy and and Liana's friends being happy is what makes the scene so brilliant. In real life, that would never happen. In real life, almost all of Liana's friends would object to such a thing. And we probably wouldn't be seeing Liana being so readily open to the idea. But that's what makes it so great, a situation in which almost everyone would be utterly opposed to, especially in the United States, they're all just like "It's cool." It comes off as brilliantly bizarre, which is what Secret Six is supposed to be.

I would also disagree that the Six are horrible people. They're anti heroes and most of them are deeply damaged screwed up and possibly even insane. But I don't consider any of the Six horrible people except for Cheshire

Cheshire is just the worst of the bunch. Nuking Qurac made her an irredeemable person. Even Deathstroke felt horrible for the role he played for nuking Qurac, Cheshire on the other hand, not so much. The mere fact that the Secret Six tolerated working with Cheshire kinda goes against the idea that they're not horrible people.

The missions that the Secret Six take involves them lying, cheating, killing, maiming, and stealing. Again, kinda goes against the idea that they're not horrible people. The only time they come up as somewhat heroic is that their opponent is even more horrible and villainous. Their only interests is in themselves.

The only members of the Secret Six who weren't flat out horrible people were Black Alice, who is a teenaged girl and still maintains some innocence within her, and Bane, who ended up going full on villain in the final issues.

I didn't find it messed up at all. I thought it was touching and beautiful. One of my favourite scenes in the series and it made me to see my favourite member of the Secret Six find some happiness

I thought it was one of the best scenes in the book for different reasons.

 

[Mystirious]

I agree it wouldn't happen exactly like that in real life because in real life relationships are far more complicated. In real life there would be lots of discussion about how the relationship would work etc

But I just assume all of that happened off panel after the proposal scene. I'm just happy these three characters I love got the happy ending I wanted them to get

 

[hippie_hunter]

Bleeding Cool is reporting that if you account the uptick from Diamond and the uptick in UK orders, Green Lantern Corps should also be a 100,000+ title.

 

[SuperFerret]

Straight, gay, whatever, a threesome relationship is just weird.

 

[hippie_hunter]

And that's why I love the scene. It completely goes against any kind of logic and expects you to go with the flow.

But I just assume all of that happened off panel after the proposal scene. I'm just happy these three characters I love got the happy ending I wanted them to get

I dunno, Knockout and Scandal got arrested so is that really a happy ending?

 

[Mystirious]

Pfft prisons in the DCU have revolving doors

They'll both have escaped in about a week. A week and a half at most

Straight, gay, whatever, a threesome relationship is just weird.

I think its perfectly normal

As long as everyone's happy its no big deal how many people they are in a relationship with or married to

 

[SuperFerret]

But it's not normal. It's very, very far from normal.




EDIT: I've gotta start getting stuff done today, so I might not be around for the argument that I'm just realizing might brew from this, so I'm just going to clarify that "normal" isn't a synonym for "good", nor is "not normal" equated to "bad".

 

[moraldeficiency]

They just never really work long term. Two people are hard enough to get some emotional stability with, add a third and it just won't work unless there are strict boundries and it's based purely on sex with emotional attachment.

 

[RoughNTumble]

I didn't like simone's wonder woman at all tbqh

 

[Panthro]

I read like two volumes of Gail Simone's Wonder Woman, about half way through the run. Artwork was nice and the joke about how now one can make a good Wonder Woman film - let alone an actual Wonder Woman film - made me laugh, but the writing didn't strike me as brilliant, just okay, and I couldn't really get a feel for what Gail was going for with the Tom character.

 

[Mystirious]

I thought it was just okay not really that great. Kind of meh in places especially Tom

I liked the talking apes

Could have been a lot better though ;_;

I think its normal and good

It's not common that such relationships happen but I don't think that it means they are not normal

Which translates to, for lack of a better phrase, "not normal."

 

[Motown Marvel]

a threesome relationship is definitely not the norm (which means its not normal). but if something like that works for the three people involved, then more power to them.

 

[Mystirious]

I think any relationship between loving consenting adults is healthy and normal

And I agree Motown as long as the people involved are happy thats all that matters And obviously Scandal and co are happy

Who wouldn't be happy being married to two gorgeous redheads

 

[hippie_hunter]

Exactly.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Well, it depends on what definition of normal you mean, exactly. If we're talking about in the sense of not being the common way of doing things ways, sure. But I'm sure we're all aware there's another context to the word that equates to something more along the lines of something more depraved or unwanted. You can get technical about it, but it's pretty obvious that's what the word has taken that meaning in the modern world. A better thing to say is that it's just not common. Avoids confusion and confrontation.

And, since we've got Wonder Woman mixed in there, threeway relationships can work. Her creator, Marston, had a wife and another female lover. They all lived together, had children together, and stayed with one another 'til death.

Agreed Tron Bonne

It's not common but its still 'normal'

And good example of a real life threeway relationship that worked. I wish i could have met Marston while he was alive. And not just because signed issues of Golden Age Wonder Woman comic books would probably make me a fortune

Everything I've heard about Marston makes him sound like an amazing guy. Way ahead of his time

 

[Drz]

DC Previews for tomorrow Green Lantern #2 feels awesome with Sinestro pimping around and bossing Hal Jordan. Frankenstein is looking good as last issue. Superboy checking his limits is nice too.

Oh my gosh right now I'm loving Frankenstein so much.

Its full of so much delightful craziness. It's like S.H.I.E.L.D but on crack

Well not exactly a lover. A submissive sex slave would be a bit closer. Which of course was incorporated into WW's weakness, if a man could take her he could claim her and such.

 

[Mystirious]

She was not a 'sex slave' she was a consenting adult woman in a healthy relationship with two people she loved

They probably were into bdsm i would imagine but thats just a guess. If they were that's perfectly normal and healthy too I would imagine Marston was probably the sub though.

Though again that's just a guess.

 

[taskmaster]

Man, I sure am loving all of this discussion about DC's relaunch, it's so interesting.

 

[HighFivingMF]

All this talk about sex slaves and threesome relationships...
