Yeah, my TL exploded and I was all "meh"

I respect Weisman's rigor but disliked a wide variety of his specific choices and think his keikaku style doesn't work as well in the comparatively limited space of TV animation

We always get a piece of what Bane makes. We’ll see money from this movie. They have graphs and charts to figure out how much based on how many lines of dialogue he has and how much he’s in the movie and how much impact he has on the story… I still talk to Licensing at DC. They still e-mail me and talk to me on the phone. We’re copacetic there. I can’t say a bad word about DC there. They’re very diligent about following up on that front.

You could probably make it happen if it was like, one book and not a competing shared Universe which actually has LESS to offer than the current Marvel Universe.

>>87547867
Well, at the end of this event, per wiki:
Ballantine would eventually pass the Star Brand onto the Stranger in order to prevent Skeletron (the leader of the Starblasters) from forcibly taking the Star Brand. The Stranger used the Star Brand to move the Earth of the New Universe into orbit around his Labworld. The Living Tribunal then judges the Star Brand to be a threat to the hierarchy of the greater powers of the Marvel Multiverse. The New Universe's Earth is quarantined, surrounded by an impenetrable energy barrier so that no one can enter or leave it, and none of the greater powers are ever allowed to observe it again. After the threat posed by the Starblasters was over, the Star Brand was returned to Ballantine. She remained on the New Universe earth after it was moved into the Marvel Universe and cut off from the rest of that universe.

And sales for this event were apparently terrible. So I'm going with "no".

If you lean in on both the "unreliable narrator/wish-fulfillment" angle and the whole "better at being a spy than at being an Avenger/straight-up super hero", you get the fantastical bullshit adventures of an asshole, wherein reality occasionally peeks through as you see various onlookers/etc. giving her the "what the fuck?" reaction.

>>87548746
I was thinking something similar along the lines of "Bobbi's narrative doesn't accurately reflect reality" but I'm sure a reading like that is 100% unintended by the writer and I'd have to re-read the whole thing to see if it actually works

like the only way the Phantom Rider retcon works for me is if it did happen the way we saw in the comics and Bobbi is spinning it as things that were her choice because she would rather be a terrible person than a victim

This renders things like the corgis and the insufferable Chardonnay jokes the nervous tics of someone who's spinning her own story and is at least half-aware of how it makes her look, but half swept up in it.

>she would rather be a terrible person than a victim
That's the most difficult part to swallow, but I think it makes everything immensely more coherent if you're willing to let her be an awful person. And it fits in with Word of God about "complex stories", and haven't we all wished for more range for female characters?

So it also makes a lot of the book kind of black comedy, with the framing of "This is the kind of story that she wishes happens, in which she's always right and wins and mercorgis just appear and her two exes are arguing while she drinks wine"

>>87548995
Right, the sticking point is, I think, mainly whether you still consider her a hero, or if she's gone more anti-hero/some version of ambiguous. That's where I think the CBR fans who were dismayed by the retcon would also not really like this reading, because it's definitely not noble and it's questionably competent.
