That truth and justice are sometimes really hard to bring and they are nothing without intelligence and empathy but alternative are always worse.

Furthermore our government is not corporately owned, at least not by design. You have to blame the greed and corruption of politicians for that, not the system.


 
You almost admit it yourself. 
 
@one_upper


The actual system is based on supporting of many foreign anti-democratic governement. 
  
Many stuff of first importance are coming from corrupt african, asian or middle easterner goverment. The people doesn't get any shit from them, and their governement take heavy bribe of corporation and governement. Almost all the stuff you actually own are extracted or manufactured by people from these country by corporation owned by people who A) get political contact and/or B) are politican themselve.
  
People who live in US, in Europa, or even in China think that they get the best of the system possible because they feel that what happen in foreign country has nothing to do with the politics of the state they live in, it's a naive way of thinking, though. You live in the world : think you can't change it, and it won't change.

Globalization and free capitalism have just globalized the model of 19th century. This is a world where you can't evade your problem anymore by hiding in a far away the land, and hiding your responsibility by denial without result. 
 
I'm not supporting Anonymous, but we will find more and more movement like these or so-called Al-Quaida. Who will, for the best or from the worst, overthrown the current system. The real question is by what kind of system they will be replace the current one ?

It's the whole Batman/Joker dilemma. Hell, it's the same reason Jesus died on the cross for sinners. The issue isn't what the others do. What makes a man noble and righteous is what he does in spite of what the others do. Since your screenname is DATNIGGA I will assume you're black (like me) so to bring it into a real world example: MLK used this concept to "defeat" America. If the Civil Rights movement would have had guns we would still be drinking from separate fountains. MLK advocated doing the right thing and we can tell it was the right thing cause it worked.

She's funny, sexy, smart and badass. 
 
She look slightly different than the other girls in comics, but she doesn't take herself too seriously, and she's not a peremptory ice-queen.

 It's your choice.
 
But I still think you are overeacting. 
 
To me, she isn't so different as she was before. It's just tha without Dick Grayson love, she seems more alien, freewheeling and less caring about social issue. For th clothing thing, well, I should post all the fanservice scene where she wear nothing, or almost nothing, and make this first issue as a very soft issue, but I don't have all this time ! XD  
 
Sure, I understand the fact she is amnesiac is a retcon that can piss you off, but IMO I didn't bet on the fact that it will stay that way forever.

What's funny is the fact you imply, maybe unwillingly, that men are unable to write any family story, that remmeber me the "good old time" when men were sayin' that women were unable to drive... XD   
 
I understand your POV, though I will just say to you that maybe you idealize what you see as reality. I mean, like you, I growned under the wing of my single mother too, and I've heard women to women chat quite often at each point of my life : some are interesting, some are "all sex driven", and most are boring... exactly like man chatting. 

Reality in media is always "idealized", even movie or tv show "based on truth story" are heavily distorded by the need of relevant rythm in scenario.  
  
While I'm Ok and even think you're utterly right to want a refreshing approach about this media, I will remind to you that in term of concrete thinking and writing, don't forget that we talk about superhero mainstream comic book, a genre that has his follower for some reason, but more than that, an industry that need massive amount of writing in short term.  
 
Mainstream doesn't allow, by his very nature, an easy way to refreshing story style. All comics published can't be Fable, Transmetropolitan or an Alan Moore masterpiece.  bad stuff happen, sorry.  

@B'Town


If you want my advice, this isn't a wise move. 
 
I mean, cancelling after ONE issue ?  It's quite a quickly decision. The comics have, what ?, thirty, twenty page and writer as drawers must done with these for characterisation, action and making the story moves. 
 
If I were you, I would be waiting maybe the next or two more issue before stopping a serie.   
  
To conclude, I will say that Starfire isn't the more innocent superhoine to this day. If I remember well, she pull a very vicious move she has made Barbara Gordon think that she had sleep with Dick.  So much for "the pure and innocent" Kori.

I like Macguire as Peter Parker. Kristen Dunst was OK, but I finded Willhem Dafoe weird : as Weird Al Yankovic have said : he was more freaky witrhout his mask...XD 
 
For the movies, the first two were cool, but the third killed the franchise to me. (Oh my ! That dance Scene !)

Problem is not so much about sex than the character being reduced to a seeming brainless sex dolls.  
 
(I mean "seemings" because I don't think that to want to have sex without any shyness doesn't make you brainless anyway, but to not feel sex related culpabilityit still seem to infuriate many people.)

Psylocke is more on the fetish side, and X-23, well, I'm smitten over her, but she's too young.

I really disagree with the idea that starfire is some representation of a male fantasy and nothing more in red hood and the outlaws. Am I the only one that thinks this? Let's reverse the roles here, let's say it was a good looking guy having sex with two women he openly admitted meant nothing to him. In this case he would be an ass who is taking advantage of two women but no one would stand up nd say that the male character is stero typing men. Starfire is doing the same thing, Jason and Roy mean nothing to her and she's using them for her own ends. Why is this garnering so much attention? Why is everyone hoping on DC for sexism and claiming it's against women here? What a woman can't be cold and vindictive? A woman can't use men for sex? Am I the only one that's seen "Chasing Amy"? Isn't it just a little sexist on the part of others that think Starfire is being unfairly portrayed to assume that the writer only plans to use her as a whore, that the guys are just gonna pass her back and fourth and never care? I mean believe it or not men can develop feelings for people that they happen to be having sex with.

I agree. There are all types of women in the real world, and they should all be represented in comics. Just because a particular type of woman isn't popular, doesn't mean she should be ridiculed.
