@nukea6: Hey, lets apply that logic to other mediums--is Titanic the best movie of all time? American Idol had a much larger audience than Breaking Bad--does that make it a better show?
WW has no depth, period. She's supposed to be the embodiment of all things "feminist" while she fights crime in her swimsuit, but she's barely a character at all.
@nukea6: Hardly. She's faced personal tragedy, self-doubt, retired, come back, been persecuted, persevered, been crapped on like few characters in comics and rebounded, held multiple positions in the civilian/non-hero world. What you call "boring" others call "depth of character"; she has developed and grown, she doesn't owe what she is as a character to a writer who just "wrote her that way," she's earned it--the good and the bad.
Considering WW fans have been pushing her to be as powerful as the most ridiculously overpowered character in all comicdom (a certain Kryptonian), no one, including Carol Danvers, need bother to challenge her--she's the automatic win. Carol can take comfort in the fact that she is still a multidimensional character, however, and not the embodiment of some "ideal."
You can always tell the DC fans, can't you? "WHERE'S MAH GRITTY REALISM?!"
Screw the "gritty realism." If I have a choice between brooding billionaire who misses his parents and a freaking raccoon with an automatic weapon, I'm going with the raccoon. Keep giving us the fun, Marvel; let DC/WB have the monopoly on pathos, melancholy and self-seriousness.
Like Superman didn't wear his underwear outside his tights for what, 80 years or so?
There's a bit of difference between 'red strongman underwear that match the cape and boots', and 'dayglo orange thong on a black, white, purple, and green outfit'.
Not a thong. See the last picture? Those are briefs. Yes, it's still silly, but tossing around a "LOL 90s" response is stupid. Wearing underwear on the outside is a fashion faux pas as old as comics themselves, not some travesty invented in the 90s.
