I take it you’re new here. Kotaku has always been more than just a videogame website with a slant towards Japanese stuff, hence the title having the word otaku in it.

You have to remember, Tony’s relationship with his father was always weak and he thought his parents died in a car crash. He had come to grips with that. The video showed Bucky slowly, deliberately and ruthlessly choking the life out of his mother. His parent’s murder was as new as a second ago for him and the…

Tony had always been told that his parents died in a car wreck. He’d literally just found out minutes ago that his parents were actually murdered and that Steve had known and not told Tony. And Tony learned this by watching direct video of his parents’ final moments as Bucky smashes Howard’s head open and strangles…

A retarded comment on the internet. Never seen that before.

I gasped out loud when he hit the ground. I thought for sure that either Tony would catch him or I more thought that Sam would catch him and that would be the start of everyone getting back together.

This is just...so dumb.

GoT had no more “boobs and blood” than a lot of premium HBO TV, from Deadwood to Rome.

GOT has always got by on the stellar acting from its core cast and a story that keeps people tuning in next week to see what happens to people they’re invested in.

The only people who care about the boobs are…

There’s nothing wrong with just having boobs though, so I don’t think it goes against whatever “high ground” Kotaku’s set up. This whole thing is making fun of how comics normally treat boobs, as fap-material that they’re too afraid to show.

Yeah its a nice way to sell the shit out of sex while claiming moral high ground.

These topics are essentially a way for kotaku to make topics to show boobs while pretending to be against such gratuity.

It’s a deliberately impossible burden. The only way to do it is to use the title “The Jungle Book” to tell a 21st Century morality tale that is palatable to Gawker writers, but is not “The Jungle Book.”

I find this to be entirely plausible and utterly depressing.

Wonder Woman is who people cling to when they decide they want to like a female superhero just because but they honestly don’t care all that much. People like the idea of Wonder Woman a lot more than they like Wonder Woman.

She still gets referred to as an aspirational figure, but the exact specificity of her specialness has become bland.

..why is his skin colour relevant to his ability to write Wonder woman comics ? .

And please oh sheperd of the lost, guide me to a better tier so i can stop trying to carry these bronze n00bs and save me from this hell

That's not what I said at all. I was criticizing what you were espousing - you were talking about some kind of industry standard that protagonists' stories must adhere to, which is bullshit.

I think saying DC has "mistreated" her is an unnecessary anthropomorphism. It's a fictional character, they can use it to suit whatever end fits their story or their profits. And not every character has to have good things happen to them, or a balance of things. It's okay to have a tragic figure or a Job.

Just to clarify, I don't find it to be bad. I find it partially insulting. Maybe the new audience warranted a Batgirl separate from the truly evil things of Gotham. Especially when the "depowering of a hero" is an issue. I think it was challenged in another thread to find a Batman comic where he is terrified and…

Came here to read about the hated-then-loved Cassandra Cain Batgirl and the much-beloved Stephanie Brown run that gets so much praise from fans.
