WB is going to be 100% conservative as gently caress about the way they portray Wonder Woman for a long time. Mostly because she's literally the only female character they have that anyone gives a gently caress about other than Harley Quinn. Quinn can be queer, but Wonder Woman has to exemplify all of the "publicly acceptable" standards of the Big Three because she falls into the three acceptable archetypes for them: American Man Brooding Man Girl

I'm guessing the author of that article spent so long researching the Joe Shuster titty pics that they ran out of time to research Ray Bradbury.

A little context for Way of X #2: David Haller pops up on Krakoa as a psychic ghost, and leads Kurt to his body, which is being kept as a harvested brain by an anti-mutant bad-guy group and used to psychically model various ways in which Krakoa might bring about its own downfall. He basically wants to his physical brain to be put out of its misery so he can be resurrected on Krakoa. So Nightcrawler's dilemma is less like-- should I kill this guy? And more-- I know killing feels wrong, even if it's just temporary, and it's more like, in this case, just letting him out of jail. So why does it still feel wrong? So far the series is less about Nightcrawler abandoning his faith and more about him rethinking what specific moral mandates mean in a society where death is a temporary inconvenience. It's about him being uncomfortable with various features of Krakoa and trying to work out how to deal with it I think for people who have been kind of leery about the Krakoa books and their implications this might be an interesting title, because it shows Kurt asking a lot of the same questions. It's definitely a stand-out of the mutant line right now. How Wonderful! fucked around with this message at 16:04 on May 20, 2021 |

He was trying to say "No More Blood," one of the AIDS activism chants that recurs throughout the series. The guy falling is an HIV+ activist who's dating the alien guy in his human form, it's set in... I think the implication is the Reagan Era but I guess there might be something I'm forgetting that places it later in the 80s.

The most famous person to be shot for climbing up a flagpole and removing a national flag was probably Solomos Solomou, a Cypriot anti-nationalist who was trying to take down a Turkish flag in 1996. Off the top of my head I can't think of a precisely analogous example from the US. Barbalien is actually sort of a clumsy series. I'd never heard of it until this thread and while the Black Hammer stuff has never grabbed me I decided to check it out. The interpersonal stuff is good and I like how it teases out the tensions and the contradictions in the title character's civilian disguise as a cop, but all the scenes about AIDS activism felt like a weird mish-mash. For one, "No More Blood" maybe feels discordant because as far as I can tell it was never really a major protest slogan during the actual AIDS protests of the 80s and 90s. For another, Lemire (or Tate Brombal, who it looks like has less comics-writing experience) sort of smoosh together a bunch of different protest idioms. In some ways its very 80s, in some ways its very 2016, in some ways its very 2020... they seem to want to have all of their cake on one plate. So yeah I can't think of anybody in the US shot for climbing up a flag and trying to swap out the national flag, especially not during the heyday of ACT UP. If I had to guess Lemire and Brombal were maybe thinking of Bree Newsome, the North Carolina activist who was arrested in 2015 for clambering up a pole at the South Carolina state house to tear down the Confederate, and conflated that with the wave of a) cops shooting at people of color on flimsy pretenses b) police wildly escalating violence at protests from the last few years. It's not a very elegant fit-- I've been reading Sarah Schulman's great new book about ACT UP, Let the Record Show and I wish Lemire and Brombal had read it too before writing this series. It's a really flawed series, I think it has a lot of very beautiful scenes punctuated by garbled or awkward connective tissue. Edit: Oh, right. In the first issue we're told that the protest going on says that's 1986, five years after the first recorded death of a gay man of AIDS in the US. Which is in itself a bit strange, since Ken Horne died in April 1980. So yeah I can quibble but the series actually is quite clear about when it takes place, so my bad.

"Microscopic Vision" was not a thing I expected to be on his list of Super-Whatever Powers, but I'll pencil it in under Super-Weaving.

That one's been around since at least the '70s (and I wouldn't be surprised if it was around in the 50s). There was an issue of Flash wherein Wally is trying to get the truth about something that happened to some government agents on a mission decades earlier. And so Clark Kent goes and talks to some people. As a journalist, investigating a story. Totally normal. And eventually one government employee says "To be honest, all the details are on microfilm in one of those hundreds of cabinets in the basement. So unless you're carrying around a microscope that can see through walls, you're out of luck." And Clark Kent says "thank you, you've been very helpful," and straightens his glasses.

I think at the very least he's been depicted as being able to clearly see poo poo way farther away than others can since around the same time he got X ray vision (which started in the radio play or George Reeves show, right?)
