I find it difficult to explain this - Miss Jimmy Olsen

[Whirlysplat]

Jimmy Olsen dons drag for the first time in “MISS JIMMY OLSEN,” SUPERMAN's PAL JIMMY OLSEN #44 (DC, April 1960), and again several times over the next few years.

I'm at a loss to explain some of this story. But I decided I must share it with the world, especially since the on-line community seems to be on a Jimmy Olsen kick lately.

Note the pic attached: Anyone who's seen a Closeu movie knows the first thing that comes to mind when you have to go undercover is disguising yourself as a woman, but Jimmy just seems to be enjoying the attention he's getting from those men a little too much. What do you think?

Ok?

 

[yenaled]

Yeah, he used to dress as a woman quite frequently.

Yup.

 

[Darthphere]

Hey guys did you know Lois turned herself black?

 

[CConn]

Jimmy has a masculine heart, though,

A very masculine heart.

Just because he dresses as a woman doesn't mean he likes it up the poop.

No of course it doesn't, although he seems to like male attention in the initial picture.

What's to explain? It's the silver age. There were innuendos off the wall. Batman and Robin. Wonder Woman's bondage fetish. Lois the whale. They can't be taken that seriously, and they were probably as hilarious back then as they are nowadays to laugh at.

I mean, what exactly are you asking?

Yes, Brian i've seen those, I was hoping we'd get round to the petition and Jimmy not being made gay in the recent movie after all by Singer, but......
It's a shame on this board things often have to be so spelt out. Amusing starters don't always work in the comics section here. I think it's because many of you are quite young.

We've gone from crossdressing to...Singer's movie? "Spelling it out" is putting it lightly...

As far as I understand it, Jimmy Olsen was gay in a draft long before Singer ever came on board. Singer's intent was always to follow the Donner movies' continuity. Jimmy obviously wouldn't be gay then.

You still don't get it It's a shame sublety is lost on you.

Many people consider Jimmy gay.

No, they don't. One movie writer wanted to change Jimmy Olsen into a homosexual in order to court controversy. Change, as in, he wasn't originally. That's like saying that many people consider Colossus gay because Ultimate Colossus is gay.

Yes, Jimmy has exhibited traits of homosexuality before, mostly for humorous value. So shall we bring up every instance from continuity of Jimmy chasing after Lois' sister or Superman's other girlfriends, or from the cartoon wherein he and Supergirl had an attraction? Jimmy's homosexual tendencies is played mostly for laughs. His heterosexuality is taken at face value.

I gotta ask.... why did the hype get taken over by morons?

 

[Darthphere]

Im sorry.

Yeah. Jimmy's occasional flamboiance and well kept apearence is mostly just him being an insecure nerd trying to stand out.

So you think he's just a closet tranny.

I gotta ask.... why did the hype get taken over by morons?

Let's play horse. I'll be the front end and you be yourself.

[yenaled]

No, he would be a closet tranny if he didn't dress up as a woman.

 

[Whirlysplat]

True enough but if he keeps his identity secret and they call him "Jamie", Jimmy is still safely in the closet. Isn't he?

[Darthphere]

Good God, why are people creating such asinine threads. Almost makes me wish for more ...Just Because threads.

 

[yenaled]

But... it doesn't mean anything. He is only roleplaying and enjoying the fact he can't be reconised. That's it and it will only be it unless the hardcore Jimmy Olsen Sex Tapes get leaked.

Hell, if you want to look at two famous crossdressers - who both portray roles. Dame Edna Everage and Lilly Savage; where the latter is gay and the former is not. You can see the act means nothing to sexuality. Then there is people like Eddie Izzard who does bot play a role - and is not gay.

So yeah, Jimmy likes to crossdress and has never been shown to be in any homosexual relationship. It was the Silver Age.

I still don't get the point of the topic.

I guess we're just trying to boost our post counts.

Look at this map. See this little tiny island, way out in the Ocean? That's where the people who care live.

Whirly, the whole "Darthphere is trying to boost his post count" argument is both sad and pathetic. You created a moronic point for discussion, live with the consequences, as ive seen youve been spreading that crap around all the boards. Are you homophobic or something?

It's more than recognition with Jimmy, he wants guys to think he is hot. Perhaps he's a sissy.

Isn't it? Are you sure? That's what he says, but, are we sure I mean they dress up as women a lot. In Izzards case he protests a lot.

NO! its not. As Shakespeare might say "Go forward, and be choked with thy ambition".
