Official JLA discussion thread - Part 2

I could care either way if they end up in a relationship. As long as it is written well.

 

[Mystirious]

Justice League Dark is out next week

I'm pretty excited about it as the first issue was a good set up for the first arc I'm interested to see where things are going to go

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Damn, they're really making post-relaunch Hal the most unlikable character since Plastic Man eh?

 

[Anubis]

Are you implying that Plastic Man is unlikable?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I'm saying just that

 

[Anubis]

Well I disagree with you good sir.

Also, you are a poop face.

 

[Mystirious]

Oh snap

Why no love for Plastic Man Spoons

I could care either way if they end up in a relationship. As long as it is written well.

It would need to be written really well if it happened for me to dig it

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I'd tell you why I dislike him but there appears to be poop on my face.

 

[Franklin Richards]

I had this Indiana Jones vibe with Hal in this issue. He's trying to get Flash to help and the same thing was going through my head.


"WE. ARE GOING. TO DIE!"

 

[Mystirious]

Kryptonians. Why did it have to be Kryptonians

I'd tell you why I dislike him but there appears to be poop on my face.

I'm not going to ask how it got there. I don't judge

Pretty much. It's not like it would be a long term thing. Supes would eventually get back to lusting after Lois, and WW would go back to whoever (I guess Steve Trevor is back in the picture now?)

 

[Anubis]

If they had balls, it would be that chick she's been hanging around with.....who apparently is kind of her sister......I dig it.

 

[Mystirious]

I would definitely dig that 'Nubs

I would absolutely love it if Wonder Woman had a girlfriend and I really hope that it happens in her comic book

 

[hippie_hunter]

I think I've always preferred a slightly asexual Wonder Woman. I like the idea of Wonder Woman being a champion of Athena and I prefer her being an embodiment of who Athena is: warrior, wise, defender of peace, and like Athena doesn't take up a lover (man or woman).

 

[Anubis]

Pfft, you just fear the Almighty Uterus.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Pfft, you just fear the Almighty Uterus.

Well that's a completely different story

 

[Mystirious]

Oh hippie hunter

Thats fair enough. Though while i totally respect people who choose to be asexual I get the impression that Wonder Woman's lack of a sex life is more to do with DC being afraid of her being sexually active with either men or women

There's a lot of silly people out there that view sex as something bad or dirty

I think Wonder Woman is absolutely bisexual or perhaps panromantic. Meaning she desires both genders but isnt interested in sex

 

[hippie_hunter]

Oh hippie hunter

Why just today at work I was talking about when I run on Congress about my position on womens' issues and it goes "Give them whatever they want, because they're terrifying "

And then my coworkers had to bring up other moments.....the bastards

I can see the rest of the Amazons being lesbian and bisexual, with an island with no men, it's kinda hard to be full on heterosexual.

But Wonder Woman on the other hand....totally full on asexual. To me, Wonder Woman is a full on superhero embodiment of Athena and pretty much every incarnation of Athena has her being aromantic. Although, based on writers trying to give Wonder Woman love interests, she's more along the lines of a heteroromantic with Steve Trevor, Batman, Superman, and Nemesis. DC will never let her be attracted to a woman.

The problem with giving Wonder Woman a love interest is that it often just doesn't feel right. They're often written very poorly, Nemesis in particular, or are just boring, Superman being the most prominent in this regard. I think the only time I have liked Wonder Woman with a "love interest" is Batman in the Justice League animated series.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Her story has always been steeped in irony. Woman hero in Man's World. Raised by Amazons and yet she's attracted to <gasp> a man. Trevor is the damsel in distress in most instances.

These themes only work if Wonder Woman is attracted to men. If she veers from that path she turns into Xena.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Never really cared for pre-Crisis Steve Trevor.

 

[Franklin Richards]

I wouldn't mind an upgrade. As long as he's human. Although I really liked her Squadron Supreme twin. Her "Trevor" was an old man being kept alive by machines. Some serious Kavorkian **** goes down.


Chilling.

I think the closest I've ever liked Steve Trevor in a more traditional fashion was in the Wonder Woman DTV.

She veers towards Xena only if you keep having her running around killin' mofos.

"WE. ARE GOING. TO DIE!"

Well spotted.

Kryptonians. Why did it have to be Kryptonians

Coprophilia.

So I'm told.

Oh hippie hunter

Where would the human race be without ****ing?

Have yet to see that.

I didn't realise we were so scary

I can see the rest of the Amazons being lesbian and bisexual, with an island with no men, it's kinda hard to be full on heterosexual.

All the Amazons are canonically either lesbian or bisexual. That's why i want to live on Themyscira. An island filled only with beautiful women in togas who like girls

It'll be like I'm in heaven

We'll have to agree to disagree. I could terrify you into agreeing with me using my womany-ness but your nice so I won't. This time >.>

But I think Wonder Woman definitely likes both genders. And I really hope DC does show her in a relationship with a woman one day soon

Where would the human race be without ****ing?

The world would be pretty boring without it
