When I say "Powerless" I mean as in, not having any super-powers. Why are comics and cartoons so opposed to this?
I love Clark's relationship with Lois. I love watching her being the obvious dom to the most powerful man in the universe, with her also serving as his main connection to humanity.
Same as Mary-Jane. The only difference between Lois and Mary-Jane is that Lois is an 8/10 whereas MJ is a HOLYFUCKINGSHITICANNOTCONTROLTHISBONER/10.
Now MJ has been quietly shuffled out of the picture, being steadily replaced by Gwen, I don't remember a single fucking thing Lois did in Nu-52 apart from get powers and then die (Again, ruining her candidacy for "Link to Humanity") And then we have the one that broke me...
I actually liked Julie in Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, I kinda ignored Omniverse for a while, but I just watched it, wondering where the hell she was. Then about 10 episodes in, they reveal that she and Ben broke up completely without warning, offscreen. This is the woman who Ben fell in love with, who literally talked him down from becoming an unstoppable galactic conqueror. When he had both Ascalon and the Ultimatrix, he was all set to go completely mad with power, but she served as that link back to humanity, to be that reminder that he took up being a hero to actually help people, rather than to gather power for himself. Let's face facts, if it wasn't for her, the human race would be living as an annexed state of Bens new empire. So the writers just threw her aside so they could ship him with Aster, then saw that the fans couldn't stand the chirpy bitch, so they just kept throwing super-powered women at him until they stopped getting renewed.
Why can't we ever seem to just get a compelling story about a super-powered individual and a non-super-powered individual having a relationship and exploring how the power-difference affects them?

Maybe writers finally realized that powerless gfs can't take super D.
>>86425941
This is quite an interesting topic.
I don't want to blame feminists, but I think that's what everyone else will do.
>>86425941
i like "not a hero, no powers, but has a tool to help with danger" significant others. like julie with ship or mary-jane with her own web-shooter bracelets

Idiots

Slot, you are embarrassing. I hope Conway's Renew Your Vows outsells your book.
>The New52 universe was actually the post-crisis universe the whole time but with relationships and time taken away from the characters
what a mess. so zero year and year one batman are both technically canon in the same timeline?
>>86425576
Yes, but only zero year has actual consequences that effects the universe at large. However, Batman is gaining memory of both of the events, so it's as if he lived two lives.
>>86425576
Are you a fucking idiot? Thats how DC has always worked you stupid fuck. The reboots aren't hard reboots, the Crisises in universe cause the reboots. Comics might not be for you if you can't understand this basic concept.
>>86425576
It doesn't matter. None of this matters.
Superman: The Movie (1978)
>Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, Sam Peckinpah, William Friedkin, John Guillermin, Peter Yates, Ronald Neame, Robert Aldrich, Norman Jewison, Mark Robson and Richard Lester were approached to direct the movie before Guy Hamilton was hired. He dropped out shortly afterwards and was replaced by Richard Donner.
>Producers Ilya Salkind, Alexander Salkind and Pierre Spengler planned for SUPERMAN and SUPERMAN II to be filmed back-to-back. Mario Puzo wrote a borderline unfilmmable 550 pages script with an overtly campy tone, which Donner disliked. Tom Mankiewicz rewrote the entire script at Donner's behest, but was denied credit by the Writers Guild of America. Donner then credited him as a creative consultant so his contribution would be recognized.
>Puzo's draft featured Clark Kent and Lois Lane as television reporters; two addition evil Kryptonian, mad scientist Jax-Ur and psychotic prankster Jak-El; an additional bumbling sidekick to Lex Luthor named "Albert", who'd be Otis' brother; and a cameo appearance by Kojak, played by Telly Savalas, meeting Lex Luthor at a subway station and offering him a lollipop.
>Donner partially shot SUPERMAN II before convincing Spengler and the Salkinds to focus on completing SUPERMAN, since a cliffhanger ending wouldn't accomplish anything without a succesful first movie.
>In early drafts, Superman would divert Lex Luthor's nuclear missile to space, where it would accidentally free General Zod, Ursa and Non from the Phantom Zone and lead them to Earth. When Donner persuaded the producers to let him complete SUPERMAN as a standalone movie, he used the concept of Superman turning back time and changing the past, originally slated for SUPERMAN II, to give the movie a proper ending.
>Donner notoriously clashed with Spengler and the Salkinds throughout production, to the point they refused to speak to eachother. The Salkinds appointed Lester as a second unit director anticipating that he could take over production should Donner drop out. Lester had previously sued the Salkinds over unpaid dues in a previous collaboration and allegedly only agreed to the job due to the salary they offered.
>The producers were determined that Superman be played by an A-lister. Warren Beatty, Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood, Robert Redford, Paul Newman, Burt Reynolds, James Caan, Charles Bronson and Muhammad Ali were approached for the role, but declined.
>Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Jenner, Neil Diamond, Perry King, Lyle Waggoner, Robert Wagner, John Beck, David Soul, Jan-Michael Vincent, James Brolin, Sam Elliott, Christopher Walken, Nick Nolte, Jon Voight, Jeff Bridges, Kris Kristofferson and David Prowse auditioned for the role before Patrick Wayne was cast. However, he dropped out when his father, John Wayne, was diagnosed with cancer. Donner ultimately persuaded the producers to cast a young unknown, and ultimately selected Christopher Reeve, who had previously been denied an audition for allegedly being "too scrawny".
>Anne Archer, Stockard Channing, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Leslie Ann Warren, Susan Blakely, Deborah Raffin, April Byron, Christina Raines, Barbra Streisand, Natalie Wood, Carrie Fisher and Liza Minelli were approached for Lois Lane before Margot Kidder was cast.
>Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman, Jack Nicholson, Gene Wilder and George Kennedy were approached for Lex Luthor before Gene Hackman was cast.
>Paul Newman and Charlton Heston were approached for Jor-El before Marlon Brando was cast.
>Muhammad Ali

Superman II: The Adventure Continues (1980)
>Spengler and the Salkinds decided to complete SUPERMAN II after SUPERMAN became a box office hit, but fired Donner due to their previous disagreements and replaced by Lester. Gene Hackman objected to the producers' treatment of Donner and refused to return for the sequel, forcing them to write the script around the footage he had already shot under Donner's direction. Lester was also required to reshoot numerous scenes that had already been completed by Donner in order to be properly credited as the sole director.
>Marlon Brando was slated to return as Jor-El, but felt cheated out of the movie's box office earnings and filed a lawsuit against the Salkinds, which led to Jor-El being replaced by Superman's mother, Lara Lor-Van, played by Susannah York.
>David Newman and Leslie Newman, who had previously contributed to the script of SUPERMAN, redrafted SUPERMAN II, adding the prologue with the hostage crisis at Eiffel Tower, the epilogue with the memory-wiping kiss and reworking numerous scenes based on Donner's version.
>Caroline Munro was approached for Ursa before Sarah Douglas was cast.
>David Prowse auditioned for Non before Jack O'Halloran was cast.
>An alternative ending where Zod, Ursa and Non are arrested by the Arctic Police after being depowered by Superman was shot, but never used in neither Lester's cut nor Donner's cut.
>Nobody cared till put on the mask

Go for it Otto. Dunk that cheating midget in the east river.
He spoiled a Civil War issue yesterday, just lying low though I guess.
He posted some CW2 spoilers.
I don't know why but lately...she gets me rock hard.
Also, if she wasn't married or anything, do you think she would comply for a wish for the best sex in the universe? I figure that sort of wish has come up considering that your fairy godparents stick around til you are like 17...even later in the movie but lets not talk about that mess.
>>86423581
That looks nothing like Wanda
>>86423609
>>86423581
I'm in total agreement.
It looks nothing like Wanda, that is a back alley hooker wearing a pink wig as a favor.
>>86423581
She was one of the furst cartoon characters that got me hardcosmo also did for some reason
ITT: Pairings that you just can't get behind.

Sort of. She's dropping the "She" from her name and getting really angry at things.
