This highlights the bigger problem of her being the only woman with any sort of role in the film. Okay, so some people can't relate to her motivation in the scene, but they literally have nowhere else to go for female characters with even remote depth, leaving them sitting there focusing exclusively on a character

And nothing James Cameron says convinces me will see another movie by him.

I think Worthnigton's sell-by-date was 2011.

…because we made specifically designed chairs for your virtual viewing experience.

Well, if Silk is gone because of single issue sales, that equally has something to do with how Marvel and DC aren't particularly reading the market very well and clinging to practices they haven't decided to change for decades now. They put a greater emphasis on single issues than the market actually demands which is

Fair point. It could work with him just not realizing she was that strong, but recognizing her.

Yes, but always his ultimate fate.

She reported it several times and

Ha, fair enough. Hickman had a similar problem on Secret Warriors. There were plotlines he wanted to flesh out or expand on but Marvel wanted to move him off the book on to something else (so he decided to end it rather than keep it dangling, both a good and bad thing, since a lot of those characters really haven't

"How do I fix this character you royally fucked?"

I think that's because Jurgens tried to make Booster Gold serious and Giffen and DeMatteis basically just said "well, that's fucking stupid."
