I say we go with Ethan’s plan from when Transformers Animated was cancelled. Get all the writers and artist together(from both the cartoon and the comic books Teen Titans Go!) and get them to continue to series somehow. That way we get the Starfire some of us actually liked, story from the comic, new episodes, and less overly emotional Starfire doing sexy poses in the background.

YES! Someone who hates the new Battlestar Galatica! And likes history!
And knows who Buffy is!
(Arkansas is a very sad place for us fem!geeks. :C )

As for the actual topic…
Hey now, Japan isn’t home to the horny tentacle! Why, look at fine examples like Demon Beast Invasion or La Blue Girl- WAIT A MINUTE…

(And thank you, once again, TV Tropes, for stealing my mental virginity. For the thirteenth time.)

Malaya is a great example of someone designed to be unlikeable. But in the comic itself, there’s tons of clues that it’s intentional- every single other character acting insulted by what she says, for one. From the preview pages I’ve read, there’s no hint that Starfire’s supposed to be unlikeable- the way the other characters react to her is mainly “Awright! Free sex!” The only reason this works, then, is if every character’s supposed to be unlikeable- and man, whoever wrote it ain’t no Dan Clowes.

You reactionary, defensive, old-school comics motherfuckers act so clueless. Do you think flagrant sexism in comics is okay because it’s been around for a long time? Do you think anyone is unaware that the medium has been full of flagrant sexism for a long time? Are you so attached to the boys-only club you’ve made of the artform that you’re going to keep fighting progress forever?

Quote: ["As is, I gotta say these “Sexy times” seem less sexy and more… scuzzy? Sleezy? Little bit rapey? Maybe a hint of bestiality flavoring."]

I’m actually quite fond of all of those with the right mood, but I think the word which best describes why I’m not attracted to the new Starfire is how terribly COLD she seems. Downright sociopathic, even. It tugs painfully at my heartstrings, dispelling any sexual thoughts from my mind, and makes me want to offer her a warm beverage, a soft blanket and a patient ear.

The trait which makes me see her older variant as downright wonderful and surprisingly unique was that she genuinely CARED for people. And not just about those she had an established relationship with, but almost everyone, individually. It’s a quality so rare that I honestly cannot think of any other DC character who possesses it, although my familiarity with the universe is far from absolute. The only one I can think of who comes close is Superman himself, and he still mostly cares about everyone in a generic, dispassionate, ‘it’s my job’ sort of way. He’s very likeable and snuggly, but not nearly as warm-hearted as Starfire. *nodnod*

*sighs and curls up in a blankie* Time to watch some MLP and restock my warm-and-fuzzies reserves.

When did Duncan get an account on your website?

Haha! Nice comeback.
Exactly the opposite though. I love social events. Only geeky ones though.
Also, it should be noted that my definition of cool seems to differ drastically from others, in that I believe that posting in the comments section of webcomic actually makes you MORE cool, not less.

“Just remember, y’know, why she does.” Because she’s nothing but wank material for lonely teenage heterosexual boys, right?

Not to be a pedantic jerkass, but I’d call it pretty appropriate. If a character you don’t know says or does something interesting (or for all I care, is just visually appealing), and you have no reason to distrust that comic, and your time is boundless, then by all means jump straight to buying a few issues, and seeing how you like them. If however good faith does not apply, then getting a prelim exec summary first seems a very good path, at least if you’ve read enough other articles to know what and what not to expect from them. In many ways, the character gets a more fair shake this way anyway, because you get an idea of them across several writers as opposed to just the current one. Then if there are no show-stoppers and you like what you see, you can still buy the comic.
(Yes, I realize I’ve been trolled here, but I saved so much time with the wikipedia exec summaries that I can live with that.

Yeah, I’m always amazed by these “Internet psychics” who claim to be able to magically read between the lines and tell you that your intentions/thoughts/motivations are not what you’ve claimed that they were all along. Usually they do this by reinterpreting any ambiguity in what you said (or didn’t say) in their own favor, to support their initial assumption, or they just flat out misinterpret pretty clear statements and somehow think that it supports their conclusions. It’s like it would kill them to admit that maybe they are the one that misinterpreted your intent.

There are few things more irritating than being told by someone else that they know better than you do what your own intentions were.
