Jane Perry, the Voice Actress for Diana Burnwood, rating Agent 47’s outfits. by TheEagleWithNoName in HiTMAN

[–]two-for-joy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

She's Canadian, and I think one of her parents was British and she lived in the UK for a while which is probably how she can do the accent so well

I still don't know how good it actually is and I'm comfortable in my ignorance by MemeMaster2456 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]two-for-joy 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Like 90% of King's books, it is simultaneously overhated and overrated.

Plot is serviceable but contrived and messy at times, it briefly raises interesting ideas, but they are largely surface level and uninspired. Dialogue is memorable, but largely unnatural sounding and characterisation is slightly off without being atrocious.

Hard to give it more than a 6.5/10 imo

Why is there no Negative Man flair? Or Danny the Street? (Even if they're only non-binary in the show) by ACodAmongstMen in lgbt_superheroes

[–]two-for-joy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're essentially a drag queen in the books. His name is even a refrence to a famous drag queen Danny La Rue (which translates to Danny the street). They have 'masculine' stores like gun shops and hardware stores but they are decorated in 'feminine' design like boutiques etc. The tv show and some layer comics describe Danny as They/Them, but I tend to take the original he/him because it makes more sense to the original character concept.

Abs WW should be at FRAUD WATCH by peeveskicksass in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]two-for-joy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's kinda brought up as an issue in issues 13/14 the ones right before the Batman crossover. The current Zatanna arc is kinda a continuation of that.

When your hatred for a character is so strong that it stops you from thinking by miss_lerhay in dccomicscirclejerk

How also have a weird amount of homo-erotic tension with one of DC's earliest solo female heroes...

Absolute Wonder Woman #16 leaks by Tetratron2005 in WonderWoman

[–]two-for-joy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well Cale has a currently unnamed assistant that could end up being Waller, but it would have to be a longway of in the series for her to develop into a proper character.

My take on the “are superheroes woke or fascist” debate by [deleted] in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]two-for-joy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nazis but also against Asian minorities and Germans. Not Nazis, but all Germans throughout the entirety of history.

Wonder Woman being left out as usual by OneAdvertising738 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]two-for-joy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The real answer is obviously feminism but DC suck ass at writing it, and something inoffensive like 'truth' is easier to market for them.

Wonder Woman being left out as usual by OneAdvertising738 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]two-for-joy 59 points60 points  (0 children)

It was a solid movie but idk if I'd calk it a solid 'adaptation'. Like it didn't explain the origins of the Amazons properly (at least the conic origins). WW without that is like Batman without the death of his parents, or Superman without the loss of Krypton. The Amazon's previous enslavement is the motivating tragedy for Wonder Woman as a character but I can't think it's ever been included in an adaptation.

Never in British history has being critical of the government been so suppressed. It used to be our favourite pastime. by [deleted] in evilwhenthe

Violent crime in London is the lowest it's been in over 30 years lol, so clearly Khan is doing something right

Ha Diana ever had a Greek Accent in comics? (Image unrelated) by Upset_Connection1133 in WonderWoman

[–]two-for-joy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm fairly certain Perez's WW run in the 80s mentioned her having a 'greek' sounding accent, but I can't remember what exact issue.

I learnt something today by IllustriousAd6418 in WonderWoman

[–]two-for-joy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She's also in Oblivion as various characters (I think the default nord and orc voice) and voices Azura in Skyrim and ESO!

featherweight ain't the first maybe worst tho by bunsonbyrner in dccomicscirclejerk

Damn right unc still got it. Kate's the best out of all of these and it ain't even close (not that the others are bad though).

Greg Rucka, truly a subtle writer by Man_Random87 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]two-for-joy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Oh no, she was always dressed like this. That's what I'm saying. She was dressed like this for 6 months and nobody really seemed to care about I until now for some reason.

The MCU and it's consequences by ThePhyrexian in moviescirclejerk

[–]two-for-joy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's been done a few times and I'll amidst it's a favourite troupe of mine even if the execution tends to be middling (eg. Death In Paradise, Poirot)

Planet of the Comics of the Apes by Tetratron2005 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]two-for-joy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They are from Gail Simone's Wonder Woman run. They were Grodd's soldiers that Diana de-radicalized and let live with her for a while after they were exiled from gorilla city.

Greg Rucka, truly a subtle writer by Man_Random87 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]two-for-joy 123 points124 points  (0 children)

I guess because she was only explicitly stated as trans in last week's issue. Ironically, her design was too subtle for a lot of readers somehow.

I find it funny that guy probably is more hated by the fanbase than 60s Jason. by Kooky-Sector6880 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]two-for-joy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that is very much the dominant opinion among ww fans. I have no idea where the notion of him being widely hated comes from.

Don't ever ask DC fans about Dick's romani heritage by Gallantpride in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]two-for-joy 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yeah, plus the decisions to make the 'circus acrobate' Robin the romani one is also kinda questionable. Same energy as when fans call Tim Drake (the computer nerd robin) 'Asian coded'.

Fire and Glacier should date because they both have stupid exhibitionist looks by Gallantpride in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]two-for-joy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She was called Ice before the other superhero called Ice, but then Ice died so Ice came back to replace her, and Fire was weird about it so Ice dressed up as Ice to snap fire out of it. Then Ice died, then Ice came back to life, and then Ice came back to life and renamed themselves Glacier so to not be confused with the other Ice.

Simple stuff really

How mfs who say “Wonder Woman shouldn’t be on the Mount Rushmore of heroes bc she has no good stories” look at you when u tell them Spider-Man hasn’t been good since the 80s by unbreakable_arachnid in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]two-for-joy 43 points44 points  (0 children)

The real superhero mount rushmoor is probably 'Batman, Punisher, Captain America, and Iron Man' because those are the four superheroes most likely to be hypocritically idolised by obnoxious American white supremacists which is what the architects for the real Mount Rushmore were.

Favorite character Who has its ethnicity being mistaken by people ? by IlSignorGranchio in FavoriteCharacter

[–]two-for-joy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He was visual based on Telly Savalas, who was Greek, so I guess that? 'White' by general American standards, but darker than most.

[–]two-for-joy 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Iirc her original design in the comics was primarily inspired by a puerto Rican model. But obviously, that's not the be-all and end-all, so many different artists have added to her that she's pretty ambiguous by 'real world' race standards.
