Actually my favorite super hero romances tend to be between super heroes. Black Canary and Green Arrow, Emma Frost and Cyclops, the Jean, Wolverine, Cyclops triangle(but god it had horrible writing at times) are some of my favorites. Hell, GL and Hawkgirl was always a decent one as well.
Hold on now then pony- that is still the same point, you just worded it differently.
If the people who more often than not bite it for good are the female love interests of male superheroes in comic books
then uh
what I said is exactly true
unless these love interests aren't female characters?
it's confusing the reasoning, though
it's acting as if it's some misogynistic conspiracy to kill female characters
when in reality, it's that non-superheroes are the ones who tend to bite it for good in superhero comics
a disproportionate amount of non-superheroes in comic books tend to be female, because the majority of superheroes are male, and male superheroes tend to have non-superhero love interests
correlation does not imply causation, c'mon Arch i thought you were into The Science
Gail's point was "look at all this violence against women! it's wrong!"
when what she should've been making was
"why are all the girlfriends of superheroes totally useless damsels while female superheroes only date other superheroes?"
of course the real problem everyone should have with this is the measure they are using to determine childhood obesity is BMI
and BMI is bullshit
Eh, with height taken into account it's okay for a population. It's not like they were sending letters home to every kid who was obese. And the number falling into the 'obese' category who aren't carrying an unhealthy amount of weight is at best limited.

Looking at the photos of my super Christian friend is great. She and her church group are always having good, wholesome fun. The kind of photos that might appear in some kind of Children's annual. And one of the really weird looking ones seems to be desperately in love with her, from his body language. I think I enjoy not having any context the most.

Homogeneous distribution of your varieties of amuse-gueule
I'm a little uncomfortable. I'm reading a feminist blog, one of the more extreme ones (though not a radical one), and there's a post about 'what can you not 'get away with' because you're fat?'
and the comments just seem like an orgy of people asserting that they're victims and people are so mean.
I can't see how it could possibly be helpful.
Hmm.
The fat denial stuff you seem to get in so many feminist blogging spheres is easily one of the worst things about them.
I recall one in which the (jersey?) council had stared weighing kids and sending letters back to the parents if they were obese. This was because two third of kids in the state were obese.
Repeat comparisons to the holocaust were made. Maybe half a dozen of posters, out of about a hundred went 'uh, with two thirds heading to an early grave this might notbe a terrible idea?'.
of course the real problem everyone should have with this is the measure they are using to determine childhood obesity is BMI
and BMI is bullshit
I finally got my BMI below obese.
Also, changing definitions with regards to BMI have led to fake spikes in obesity rates.
I'm pretty harmless! Ask the people who have hung out with me in real life! I am like ze baby bird, waiting for mom to come vomit in my mouth so I can leave the nest one day.

I just has a fucking South Park moment.
A cousin of mine told my sister she noticed I hadn't friended my brother on Facebook and figured things were bad with us.
Pony I never gave a reason, no reason to jump the gun there
I was strictly looking at the data
Gail Simone gave a reason, though
and her reasoning was a faulty conclusion to draw from bad data that wasn't at all taken with any kind of clear criteria
it's almost like a form of concern trolling, where you offer a bunch of badly researched data that implies an idea you're trying to get across, and then says "but draw your own conclusions, y'know, it's just something I noticed"

Then I would compile the results into a PowerPoint and start raking in cash on the speaking circuit.
Complete with bar graphs for penis size and everything.
I would be very surprised if a similar story doesn't pop up in The Boys before long. Seriously, the combination of superhero deconstruction and juicy sex has Garth Ennis's name written all over it.

I love that, especially when you point it out and the girls like "oh no way we are just friends, sure he calls me everyday and brings me flowers, but thats just because he's nice."
All the while he goes home and jerks off to a pair of granny panties he found in her dumpster that might have been hers. They are up on make shift alter, the faded shit stain showing that yes she too is human and sometimes doesn't wipe enough.

What Gail managed to show was that (gasp! shock! dismay!) super-hero comic books are sexist, and that power fantasies written for teenage boys often have somewhat misogynistic notions in them.
Sorry, if you're going to play the wounded fanboy and hand-wave away the sexism and misogyny you agree are in mainstream comic books aimed at teenage boys, then it's not worth the time to "debate" with you about the issue.

The Twist is that I paid a $1.50 on a call for that fucker to die and hack brought him back.

but who is doing that, i wonder?
your passive aggressive commentary leaves much to the imagination!
I'd go around doing every superhero I could.

The term "poopocalypse" is appropriate.
Clearly superhero men are the best in the sack.
I was strictly looking at the data
GUESS WHAT CHOCO TOLD ME THAT WE COULD BAKE BREAD TOGETHER AND HE WOULD PUT HIS PENIS IN THE DOUGH FOR ME <3<3<3<3<3<3
usually ones who don't have their own books
it's a disproportionate number, Mori, not an absolute
i am pretty sure i didn't say "all"
don't sperg
he's just joshin' you
Eh I dunno I wore it at the office and the older vp lady thought it looked really cool, and then she raped me.

nah, see a normal girlfriend will get killed off and then they'll start dating a supergirlfriend
and then maybe she gets killed off too so our hero can become deep and interesting

But this discussion is kind of tangential to your initial point of "most comic cliches haven't ACTUALLY been done"

Way to take it to the next level, Pony. I'm just joking around.
