    Although this time bending is more widespread than it was when Wan's world was formed, so that might be what keeps a better balance (that and no influence from Vaatu, if he was the progenitor of that prior world as claimed). Prince Wu being the spoiled brat he is, and Suyin's refusal to step...

    Uh, what? Are you implying she intentionally lost her link to the prior Avatars, as opposed to having it forcefully severed by the villain? If you want to criticize the character for leaving the spirit portals open, sure, go ahead, that's a legitimate point to criticize her over (although I'm...

    "Woke" Franchises

    You mean when I specifically said I dismissed the idea of people being such simply because they like Red Sonja's appearance? *looks over quoted paragraph* The amusing part is that the writer seems to presume homosexuality provides no expectation of monogamous faithfulness. Nope, gays just...

    LOL. It looks like the "woke" don't have a monopoly on telling others what they "really mean". 🙄 😛 This is hardly the thread, or hell, the web forum for someone to do woke virtue-signalling in, so the fact you think that's what I'm doing.... hell, that's funny. You're a regular comedian...

    First thing... oh for Christ's sake, why do I keep getting replies to multiple-month-old posts in this thread?! 👿 I consider Conan's bit just as silly. Both characters look like they're begging someone to bury them under arrows or to put a blade in their gut, and only writer's fiat saves them...

    For a long time in the US, "Richard" was shortened to "Dick" as a nickname. My grandfather Richard had the same nickname.

    I'm not saying it's an issue if a guy finds a woman attractive, I'm saying Red Sonja's traditional chain-mail bikini is ridiculous, and that some guys will undoubtedly like the character not for her history, whatever stories she's been in, or any of that, but because "OMG chain mail bikini...

    "Woke" Franchises

    On the subject of the franchises being referenced, never watched old She-Ra, as a child my quotient of "girly" shows was taken up by a tape of Rainbow Brite episodes, IIRC. Then came Disney Afternoon and Ninja Turtles, then Batman and the X-Men and Gargoyles, and my fate was sealed into SF...

    Hrm? Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of finally buying the PS4 game. :p I'll probably finish purchasing the soundtrack to the movie next month.:cool: Oh, I'm sure this is going to be entertaining.

    I admit to some sarcasm because I've always disliked that suit (and I greatly preferred a run in Dynamite where, IIRC, she didn't wear it). At the same time I accept the point that I seemed to be implying that, and will clarify that I'm not accusing him of such, I was just making something of a...

    Make her hair long again and I much prefer the costume to the right for Carol. Will grant you She-Hulk, although that might also be artists wanting to make her look more brutalist in pictures. Batgirl just gets kinda trimmed down to waif. Which is not a new look for her. ....I actually...
