What are your favorite comic/cartoon romances that were shutdown for stupid reasons?
>>85516095
Inb4 one more day

>>85516116
This.
I liked One More Day. Always hated that cunt MJ. She's always been nothing more than the ultimate waifu for neckbeard fags who want to self-inset as Peter and imagine they're married to a supermodel redhead.
As character concepts, MJ and Peter never made sense relationship wise.
>>85516304
Mary Jane was never a immature party girl when Peter met her not a supermodel she and Peter matured together over time and fell in love.
>>85516304
Did somebody order Mexican? It smells like quesadilla in here...
My favorite bromance was ripped away from me because the Justice League needs tech support.
I'll be mad about this forever. Can't have Dick Grayson be a happy and living independently in New York with his crazy hot girlfriend who is good for him. They need to break up so Dick can metaphorically move back into his father's basement. Better throw in a bullshit retcon about how he really loved Barbara Gordon all along and Starfire didn't really matter \.
>>85516304
My Quesa-dar is going off like crazy.
>>85516095
>>85516304
Shut up Quesada.
>>85516095
>stupid reasons
OP, you'd be surprised how many civil couples ended up breaking after getting married.
>>85516304
>self-insert
>Quesada literally draws Pete to look like a skinnier him
Yeah, fuck off Quesada.
Jean Grey and Cyclops. Also, Polaris and Havok's most recent split for utterly no reason other than to put him in an Avengers book.
>>85516304
Found the tumblr
I know they're bringing it back but for the last 7 years they were basically dead and it killed me.
The only thing that killed me more was this scene.
>>85516747
>Jean Grey and Cyclops
>not Madeleine and Cyclops
>not Emma and Cyclops
all X-Men writers are required to destroy Scott's happiness wherever it appears and they'll asspull every dumb twist they can to do it.
>>85516304
I wonder who could be behind this post
Dick/Kory was the cutest of the cute during the 1980s but it got crapped with because some shipper at DC hated it and wanted Nightwing to be a Batfamily only character, not a Titan. Iirc, Babs and Dick were never a thing until the late 80s/early 90s.
>>85516944
I'm so mad they wasted Linda in Flash TV show like that and I am still mad young justice paired Wally up with a literal who.
Their romance is so underrated
Archie and Veronica. Someone at Archie's keeps on pushing Archie and Betty as the OTP with Veronica as a homewrecker or side-chick.
Barbara and Dina- Wait, that was never canon in the first place.
Dinah and Larry though. Does anyone even remember Larry? I want more Dinah Drake x Larry Lance.
>>85516095
Peter/MJ
Batman/Catwoman
Nightwing/Babs
Hal and Carol always get broken up for some dumbass reason whenever they're together
Just let them be cute together please
>>85517104
>that was never canon in the first place
;_;
>>85516304
>hating MJ
>thinking that she was a immature/dumb partygirl/bimbo
Confirmed for never reading comics.
>>85516304
Fuck you, bitch.
MJ is best Marvel girl.
Why can't they just be happy together?
>>85517293
Because no one has any idea what to do with Danny outside of the context of "have him hang out with Luke"
>>85517078
Artemis a shit.
Hazmat/Mettle
Also, Nico Minoru/Chase Stein.
>>85517300
Nah, that's Colleen. And replace Luke with Misty.
>>85516443
>genuine Dickfire shipping outside of Teen Titans
what the fuck
>>85517088
Pretty that goes both ways.
>>85517107
>Batman/Catwoman
>Nightwing/Babs
These are both on again, off again types. I have no idea where Batman and Catwoman are at right now, but it certainly looks like Dick and Babs will be getting together soon.
I feel you OP. I also feel a bit sad that Johnny isint with Kristal and is instead cucking Blackbolt.
>>85517007
>wanted Nightwing to be a Batfamily only character, not a Titan.
Pretty much this. They've been chipping away at Dick's relationship with the Titans for ages. Kory was the first to go.
>>85517473
Because I actually read New Teen Titans, anon.
>>85517078
I agree that Artemis is a literal who, but I'll fight you and nok ur teef ot i swer on me mum if you say their relationship was bad.
Please shit-talk Aqualad and Rocket all you want, though.
>>85517426
Colleen is so insignificant they don't really WANT to put her in anything
Danny is a relatively popular character who's going to have his own Netflix series and it seems like no one has a solid idea on what to do with him
>>85517487
Nah. Afterlife with Archie, Riverdale, and the reboot really like Betty.
They're both black! It's racist!
>>85517669
Artemis was cool in YJ. They should have used her popularity to retool her comic version.
I hate Spitfire though. They had no chemistry in s1.
>>85517672
Did you see the lack of Colleen complain thread, yesterday?
They're giving him an apprentice, now.
>>85516367
DC hates friendships. Donna/Dick and Wally/Dick was so delicious yet they got screwed over in the New 52 relaunch.
"So I was 20 years old and stuck with Gwen. But she was boring as fuck and slutty redheads are my fetish. So the neck snapping was a no-brainer."
>>85517711
It's weird. It's like they looked at all the fan shipping because she really disliked Wally's personality and turned that into weird kind of hate based love.
>>85517689
There relationship felt like that episode of South Park where Cartman plays matchmaker to Token and the new black girl just because there both black (and also to spite Kyle as usual).
>>85517740
Man Gerry must be pretty annoyed these days seeing Gwen being shoved down everyone's throats.
>>85517007
>Babs and Dick were never a thing until the late 80s/early 90s
Yeah, and now we somehow can't get rid of it. Like fungus.
Erase her memory and the relationship!
>>85517770
I love Gwen and I'm annoyed that the real one is the only one we don't have.
Pre-Crisis Kathy was by far the best match for Bruce. But now the only Kane Batwoman is Rucka's lesbian fetish.
>>85517007
It was the mid 90s. They even de aged Barbara for that.
I'M A STRONK INDEPENDENT WOMYN WHO DON'T NEED NO MAN!
>>85517711
Well being written by Lobdell didn't help, but having Hunger Games be popular when they introduced her really didn't make things easy.
>>85516095
OMD didn't achieve a thing.
Newspaper strip kept them married the whole decade it's been in effect, and they're launching a new title based on the 2015 mini-series Renew Your Vows, just in time for the 30th anniversary next year
>>85517784
>go onto video of a DC Animated Movie scene where Nightwing and Starfire are a couple
>comments are stuff like "I thought he dated Batgirl" and "He belongs with Barbara!"
Ew. Korian'r was his girlfriend first. I thought him and Star would be more mainstream than him and Batgirl due to Teen Titans
BUT MUH SLAP!
>>85517902
>mini-series
Fuck....I thought it was going to be an ongoing...
>>85517503
Dick and Babs are currently dating (and got married in Convergence, but they don't remember the latter), but Nightwing this week might split them up again.
>>85517748
Actually it was a pretty obvious rip off from Wally/Linda relationship. Linda was the first woman who didn't buy into Wally's flirts so there was a lot of belligerent tension between them initally. Then there is the whole "find your spitfire"/ "you are my lightning rod" gimmicks. Artemis was also Asian etc.
Her love wasn't enough to bring Wally back from Speed Force but I bet they were going to do something like that if S3 ever happened.
>>85517503
I really just want a Batman/Catwoman relationship like it was in Batman: Hush.
tfw they're no longer together but have both been turned into SJWs
>>85517943
Actually, It IS an ongoing, I said it was a follow-up TO the mini-series, not that it WAS one.
Never really canon, but teased and made possible in Amazing X-Men. And certainly shut down for a very stupid reason.
>>85517954
There's no Speed Force in Weismann-verse. Wally was just dead.
They didn't really have anything for him and people liked Impulse more so he was the easiest thing to sacrifice since they had that relationship built to score some extra sadness on it.
>>85517814
Good. The original was bland as fuck.
>>85517935
That's because post crisis fags are idiots.
Kaine/Hummingbird
It wasn't even a romantic relationship I just want them back.
>>85516960Damn, those look good.
>>85517964
Thank God...I've been looking SO forward to this. It'll be the only Marvel comic on my pull list.
Bruce Wayne and Jason Todd
I'll never forgive DC for death in the family
>>85517856
Wow, salty ever since the Bronze Age?
And really, you can't bitch about "EW ICKY LESBOS NOT MUH KANE". I mean, shouldn't you be happy that Kathy Kane was un-retconned back into existence as her own character by Grant Morrison?
>>85517963
It's funny you mention SJW's...
>>85517372
>Fortress
Rip in pieces. I always despised the Big Two's tendency to butcher up teen heroes for edge points.
>>85516095
i'm still made Batman and Robin got shut down just because comic fans are happier in the closet
>>85518292
All jokes aside, a billionaire playboy having bisexual feelings towards others makes much more sense than Alan Scott suddenly being gay.
Just not towards the Bat Family. Bruce makes so much more sense as a father-surrogate like Alfred was to him, and an uncle to Babs.
>>85516095
DonnaxGingerteacher
>>85518073
I liked the prospect of Aracely/Rockslide.
>>85517902
Holy shit I didn't even connect to the fact they might do it for the 30th anniversary. I was so ready for Marvelfags to give Marvel shit for not getting them together by then....
but honestly editorial will just point to this elseworld series and be done with.
Also where did u find that image? Is that from the new RYV series?
>>85516095
Wonder WomanxSteve
Wonder WomanxTrevor
Wonder WomanxTom
Wonder WomanxBatman
Wonder WomanxAmazonian Blacksmith
Basically all her romances other than Superman and Aquaman.
>>85516095
Teen Scott and Laura
>>85518590
When has WWx Aquaman ever happened
>>85518292
Yeah it's a real shame DC stopped trying to court the pedophile grooming demographic with its most popular character.
>>85517947
Dick and Babs never dated for real in NU52. Something always happened that got in the way. They're TRYING to start dating in Nightwing new solo, but again Raptor and Court of Owls will be getting in the way.
Babs is also ruining the new Nightwing solo. Dick as Babs is awful. Always has been.
>>85518134
She was retcon out again by NU52 thanks to the Grayson comic. They basically rewrote the whole Kathy Kane to be a new person with no contact to the Batfamily and also a villain. They also killed her off.
I knew the writers would fuck with the Spyral concept.
>>85518645
90's, three runs.
Aquaman was retconned to be the first man she ever met and kissed, causing her to be more open and amerous when she met Steve later.
>>85517689
I still want Thor/Storm to happen, though. Have her have the urge to go Goddess again, and seeking out Thor to talk about it since there's pretty much no-one else to discuss those things with. Then have them bond over lightning and storms.
>>85516747
Havok and Wasp came out of no where
>>85518823
Aquaman and Wonder Woman could work if, IF Mera had never existed.
Aquaman and Mera is like one of those couples that are just too much perfect for them to be separated for long for any reason.
Also, i always imagined Aquaman and Wonder Woman to be like cousins.
Nvr Forget.
>>85517798
Jesus that rankled my ass.
>>85518904
>In 1995’s Aquaman Annual #1, writer Peter David told a story of the first meeting between a pre-Aquaman Orin and a pre-Wonder Woman Diana, in which the sea god Triton attempted to take the young princess before Orin intervened. The pair kissed before parting for years. In Grant Morrison and Howard Porter’s 1997-launched JLA, Wonder Woman is the one who re-recruited the then-extremely anti-social Aquaman to join the new “Big Seven” iteration of the team. In a short story in 1998’s Justice League 80-Page Giant #1 written by Chistopher Priest, Aquaman accidentally became entangled in Wondy’s magic lasso and ended up inadvertently confessing that he found her attractive, and that she was the main reason he remained on the Justice League (Geoff Johns and Jim Lee repeated this scene in their modern Justice League, only with Green Lantern Hal Jordan in the lasso).
>Perhaps the closest they ever came to consummation, however, was during Mark Waid and Bryan Hitch’s 2000 JLA story arc “Queen of Fables,” in which the titular villain put Wonder Woman in a cursed, Snow White-like sleep, and a kiss from the former prince of Atlantis awakened her.
>>85518947
Don't forget Flashpoint.
And i loved their relationship in JLA.
>>85518988
I just copy/pasted from a Comic Alliance article about her love life prior to the 52 being released.
They also forgot about the two Amazons she was hinted at being a lover of.
>>85519054
And Superman, Trevor Barnes, Tom Tresser, Batman and... there's another dude i'm forgetting about.
>>85516095
Uh... Let's think, my favorite romance that was ruined.
Hellion and X-23. I still don't get why comic writers don't use it anymore. It was a good relationship with an almost perfect buildup. Now she is with a guy who is almost a bargain bin Hellion, all his worse traits, without any of the charm.That ship probably hurts the most as it was the first real ship I had.
Nova and Namorita because of fucking Original Sin... Actually I am not going to get into that trainwreck. All I can hope is that Namorita is written into the new Nova book.
Black Cat and Spiderman. I don't care if they were not in a relationship at the time, their interactions were great. Now she is an absolute cunt and Peter is just... I don't even know anymore.
Wasp and Hank. I don't care what anyone says about the slap. Even the writer admits that it was a mistake. In fact, if it hadn't been for people constantly making that Hank's entire character, then they could have remained together.
Currently Archie and Veronica is being sunk with everyone making the latter a complete bitch while shilling Betty (Afterlife, I am looking at you in particular).
Scott Summers with a partner who he has an interesting dynamic with and could still give him happiness (Emma (In nearly everything), Psylocke, Rogue (Evolution) and pre-Loganing Jean).
>>85519093
No, it had them.
http://comicsalliance.com/the-many-loves-of-wonder-woman-steve-trevor-nemesis-batman-superman-romance/
>>85519389
>Nova and Namorita because of fucking Original Sin.
What happened?
>>85517540
>I also feel a bit sad that Johnny isint with Kristal and is instead cucking Blackbolt.
You can't feel too bad, you got her name wrong. It's pronounced the same, but spelled COMPLETLY differently, which is weird since I can't remember Crystal appearing in something with audio. The 90's cartoon, maybe?
>>85519524
Bendis wrote that Nova was actually in love with... wait for it. Gamora... You know the woman who he was fuck buddies with in of Pre-Bendis Cosmic Marvel. A relationship that Abnett wrote was toxic on both sides and wouldn't work. Then when Namorita returned, she and Richard had a very cute relationship.
>>85519524
Bendis revealed that Gamora was the only woman Richard Rider ever loved, probably.
Despite Gamora being nothing more than his booty call, an arrangement she literally had no problems with (she once flipped out on him for calling her up for something BESIDES a post-war fuck).
Logan and storm
>>85519573
Well shit, sorry mane
Aunt May and Jarvis
They both just deserve something nice and special in their private lives.
>>85519788
Reminder that Tony will be fucking Autn May in the movies, while fucking MJ in the comics.
>>85519788
Remember, Skrull
Lois and Clark. I expect them back together within 6 years though.
>>85519788
I miss May and MJ living in the tower, it was a good dynamic with the other Avengers
>>85519934
Nigger, have you read rebirth?
>>85517947
Sonofabitch, I love DickXBabs
>>85516304
Quesada leave
>>85519934
They are back though unless you mean Superbro and his Lois. I expect that to get resolved eventually though.
>>85520081
No word of a lie, that series made me ship Firestar with Spidey.
>>85520159
>Not Amazing Friends
It's like they were made for one another.
>>85518716
i guess there's always Hal
>>85520095
Superbro and NU52 Lois are together indeath.
>>85520621
Just like Earth-2 Superman and Lois...
Hey, wait a minute.
>>85520029
I hate you.
>>85520639
Well, NU52 Earth-2 Lois is a hot robot now.
>>85520647
Not him, but DickBabs always seemed better than Dickfire. But I think it's personally because I never gave a fuck about Teen Titans and don't think Dick should be forever attached to the group.
>>85520647
Fuck you.
DickXBabs is the best ship.
>>85521692
>>85521832
Batman 66 originated DickBabs.
Just saying.
>>85522081
And?
>>85518556
Yeah, Ryan Stegman is flooding his twitter with preview art at the moment, theres' also a couple with Annie May, their daughter, hugging her dad.
>>85521692
>>85521832
They had to retcon and de-age Barbara Gordon's history just to make this shitty pair work and the only reason they're paired together is because they're Batman's sidekicks. That's it.
The way they're handled as well is awful. This whole star-crossed lovers that love each other more than anything despite fucking other people is awful.
>>85522081
Batman 60's show never pushed for Dick/Babs. Not even the 70's era comics did much with it. It was the 90's DCAU Batman cartoons that pushed for the pairing, which then made Chuck Dixon do it as well for synergy or whatever.
Either way Dick/Babs was always something unnatural and forced that derailed tons of stuff just so it could happen for shallow/marketing reasons. You can see this because it actually doesn't even matter which Robin they push together with Babs. In the Arkham games, for example, just because Tim was the current Robin they made Tim/Babs thing. They just want a Robin/Batgirls thing because they're Batman's sidekicks. That's it.
>>85522234
Cass escaped it.
>>85522253
Barely. Fans still hope for a Tim/Cass pairing because of the whole Robin/Batgirl thing as well.
>>85522234
They're certainly better than any other pairing Dick's had. I still can't believe there's people who give a shit about Dickfire.
>>85522282
Cass/Carrie is more likely.
Tim belings to Gotham. Literally.
>>85522303
Dick/Starfire was always better than Dick/Babs. For one it happened naturally without any need for retcons to make it work.
Either way, any relationship Dick might had or have in the future is still going to be better than Dick/Babs.
Dick/Babs is always forced in a very cringe way and most of the times paint a bad image of either or both characters.
>>85521339
Don't worry pet, Tony's fucking someone else at the moment, and Bendis likes Peter/MJ
>>85522303
Dickfire makes sense if you read the original TT comics.
But hey, to each their own. Its like Wondie shipping. As long as we agree DianaxClark is stupid, we're all friends.
>>85522253
Actually, she did'nt, DC published a potential future story where she and Dick were a couple. It's a pretty brief one called "The Batt"
>>85522459
'Doh, sorry, I meant to say Tim
>>85522454
Clark/Diana is bad because Clark/Lois is very strong and marketable, and because Diana whole thing is that she finds a man that opens her eye about the Men's World and men potential to be good, and while Clark is a swell guy and was raised by humans they never play the relationship with Diana having with an admiration for the Clark side of Superman, but rather her being all about Kal side of Superman.
It's fucking weird when Batman, of all people, think of Superman more as Clark, the nice and sweet farmboy, while Diana most of the time only see the Superman as Kal, the super-powerful alien savior.
>>85522459
>>85522475
Heck, i wouldn't surprise in some day DC pushed Cass with either Dick or Jason.
Steph, who was at the time Batgirl, was pushed with Damian of all people a bit back before the reboot.
Spiderfags and Dickfags are whining and arguing about ships again...some things never change.
>>85516095
Vision and the Scarlet Witch were broken up because John Byrne wanted to prove Vision didn't have a penis.
>>85522282
I'd rather have more Azrael and Cass interaction since they didn't interact much or at all after and technically this page doesn't count since he's just telling them off for fawning over Batman. He was off his meds at this time.
Doctor Light and Sue Dibny
