I mean I get why they get paired together but god damn even what people swear is good is them being at best cute. And most couples get written as cute at some point. And then they go right back to being shit because they're bland as fuck together.

Do you think The New 52 was the first time they were ever paired together?

And the drama between the two would sometimes make Superbro look insecure, judgmental and neurotic as fuck.

The problem isn't just general bad writing, but the concepts the pairing focus on. There's a reason 90% of the pairing stories are bad.

I personally think Dick works better with Kory, and I'd like to see them explore a relationship between Jason and Babs, but only after he's one a bit more villainous, because they work best when she represents a standard for him to reach, while he represents the limits she won't cross. There's also the shared Joker-trauma, assuming they haven't retconned Killing Joke out of Babs' backstory entirely.

Superbro was a bro in other comics, mainly Action Comics and Batman/Superman. In comics like Justice League and Superman/Wonder Woman he was terrible. Learn to separate things.
>>
>>92006879
You're right. He never did anything awful in his life before she showed up and started pushing him to use his super-science for mass heroism so she could get attention, and pushed a socially-awkward nutcase with previous wife trauma to a life punching people in the spotlight.

The two of them have massive flaws, it's what makes them interesting as a couple.

And insecurity isn't terrible, it's natural. If you can't stand the fact that he got angry, that sometimes he liked the idea of punching a guy in the gut (and everyone feels that way) or that he used to flirt with girls (and almost had a thing with a black chick) then you should be the one that should look very deeply into the mirror and question what the hell are you doing.

Superbro was a bro.

Let's be honest, the overwhelming majority of comic book relationships are bad. That's just how it is. Even if a relationship is well done with one writer, the next one can come in and shit all over it so badly that it never recovers even if there is a reboot.

What the fuck are you even ranting about? I'm discussing about the general suckiness of SM/WW because of how writers tend to twist the characters to focus on stupidity.

You instead seem to be thinking that i'm attacking the Nu52 version of Superman for some reason and ranting about some unrelated shit. Nu52 Superman had tons of nice stories, but it is a fact that his stories focusing on the SM/WW were at best mediocre.

Not true.

Scott Lobdell plan was to have Jason, Roy and Kory as fuckbuddies, but after the backlash he started to portray Roy and Kory as a proper couple. He then after various arcs had Jason regretting never fucking Kory and letting his chance go, but feeling relieved by telling himself that it was for the best because he now had a friend in her.

When Rose Wilson appeared she and Jason were bickering like exes and talking about their past trysts which was never alluded before.

Gotta disagree. The rough, inexperienced nature of them that time around had a certain appeal to me. The basis for what I wanted for them was there, I just had to wait for them to grow into their roles.
I thought that the nu52 Superman/Wonder Woman relationship was great, I really wanted it to work. But I get where you are coming from, there was a certain level of depth missing. Every time they get together, it has to end with "OMG SOMETHING NEEDS HELP!" I wanted more moments with just Clark and Diana interacting with the world, let when Superman brings Wonder Woman over to Smallville to eat pancakes at a diner, then he shows her where he grew up and talks about his parents. Or when they went dancing at a night club, just enjoying being in love with each other. But too often these moments would ultimately be interrupted by the need for punching to save people from monsters.
They are two honest, genuine people with a great capacity to love, and I loved the idea of them being together.
>>
>>92008489

Hopeless not only doubled down on it, but he did in the worst manner possible by revealing that Laura only tried to chance her behavior and be the new Wolverine because Warren would constantly berate her for being a self-harming autist with loathing issues, so she decided to change her entire shit so she wouldn't lose him.

>>92006429
Dick honestly has the worst main pairings.

>Dick/Babs
bland as shit with one or both of them being written like garbage for the sake of the pairing

>Dick/Kory
Sexy at best with Dick usually being written terribly because it usually happens in a Titans book, and NTT is a terrible soap opera.
Though I will give this one points for actually being developed and cute at times even if it stopped being an okay pairing when NTT stopped being good in the late 80s.

>Dick/Shawn
Kill your OC, Seeley

>Dick/Helena
too underdeveloped in new 52/rebirth
but was mostly garbage pre flashpoint because Grayson's ideas had the two wildly out of character and pathetic, and Simone clearly did not like the pairing

and then you got the ones that could've been good because the characters had some chemistry at some point and they were written okay to good when under the same writer
>Dick/Rose
I wish Priest had been able to age her up because she's too underaged to work

>Dick/Kate Spencer

>Dick/Peeg

Well, she did ended alone and bitter. Unable to make any important or durable relationships, Dick hated her and burned down any bridges he had with her. Bruce rarely talks to her and all she got is a kid that only talks to her when a super villain goes "Mwahahaha" on the dystopia that is future Gotham.

You could argue that she didn't really loved anyone, outside of his own family, that much. Timm seems to be a man that is all about taboo relationships and seems to insert a bit of cheating and emotional distress in his works. Soooo... yeah, she probably didn't really loved her peers that much, she cared about them but not enough not to betray them or hurt their feelings. BTAS Babs seems like a very selfish woman.

>They are two honest, genuine people with a great capacity to love, and I loved the idea of them being together.

See. That's the exact problem with SM/WW. In stories focusing on them as a couple the characters are almost never able to be that way.

Wonder Woman always turn into a arrogant, temperamental and reckless warrior with little to no compassion to show and an almost prejudiced view of humanity.
Superman sometimes turn into a introverted and morose hero with a god complex.

Then there's the issue with writers focusing more on the traits that makes them alien and stand out from the rest of humanity - super-hero life-style, super-powers, immortality, inability to have a sexual relations with others, etc - than on their human-like qualities, with the consistent conflict of the idea if their might make them right in deciding the fate of the world. Then there is the celebrity couple bullshit that does nothing to make things better.

Why Wonder Woman always become a Punisher-wannabe when close to Superman? It's like he was her Red Kryptonite or something. After just one kiss she already start to entertain notions of deposing the world's leaders or someshit.

>Dick/That metahuman model in New York who he banged for a while when Jason was pretending to be Nightwing

>>92008521

Jason didn't shot her down. The comic started with Jason bragging about nailing her, then that was just dropped and next thing you know you had an issue of Jason lamenting never hitting her when he had the chance.

>>92009973
Fuck that was bad
>>
>>92007921
If you'd want to explore a relationship like that, N52 Supergirl would have likely been a better choice, given Kara and Jason's similair arc of acceptance of their place within their worlds. And, had they not regressed Kara's character with DC Rebirth, they would be at the opposit sides of the spectrum. She'd be following Superman's example, while he'd continue his lethal methods.
>>
>>92006378
>Start thread about worst relationships in comics/cartoons

They're not history's greatest power couple or anything, but Eve and Mark's relationship is written reasonably well. It develops believably, they've got decent chemistry, it runs into genuine problems that they have to overcome, etc.
>>
>>92010041

Honestly, while that made sense at that point i was already rolling my eyes with Jason being paired with all the characters that was once paired with Nightwing.

It's a superficial as fuck pairing for superficial as fuck reasons and thus the writing ends up being extremely superficial and shallow and doesn't involve any of the actual compelling parts of the two characters.

Diana needs a mortal, Steve or Bruce, to stay grounded and to keep in touch with humanity. It seems like every time she goes for the Superdick, she gets close to becoming Injustice Wondy.

More like 15. It ends at 150.
>>
>>92010925
Steve is like a father figure or mentor than a love interest and Bruce has is own issues... how the hell can he ground anyone?

Writers just need to stop forcing unnecessary contrived drama for the sake of some shock value that ends damaging the characters.
>>
>>92008084
What's up with the mask?
>>
>>92010925

Honest answer: the real problem is not even that. Superman and Wonder Woman are human as fuck. In theory them as couples should generate tons of cute slice of life moments.

The real problem are the writers having their heads up their ass and being consistently fixated on these weird ideas of these characters. For example they have Superman giving up on his human identity in some way and accepting his "godhood", or being more Super than Man in some way, because basically they want a chad-like hero. Then they've Wonder Woman being a Xena-like warrior that live and breath violence, even getting hot and bothered by being roughed up by a superior male, because ultimately the whole thing is about the fetish of an alpha male taming a strong woman and turning her into his submissive follower. So we've this consistent thing where WW always exalt Superman as a god and not understand why he acts so human-like or bow down to humans like that.

Seriously, i've never see a pairing bring so many weird shit like that from writer's minds. Specially when you see how normal and sweet the characters originally are. It feels like those weird fanfic where they take Sonic and turn him into the edgiest thing ever.

Bruce worked well in the DCAU cartoons and Joe Kelly's JLA run. Specially the latter where they bonded over philosophy and martial arts, pushed each other buttons to mess with one another and ultimately decided to not pursue a relationship because their mission came first.

Superman is the worst pair for Wonder Woman, is like "wonder woman needs a boyfriend so let´s search for someone more powerful than her, there is no way for a woman to be paired with a man who can bench less than her".

They need to go barda/scott route or maybe a normal sweet guy that stay at home, does great spaghetti and loves her not knowing that she is Wonder Woman princess of the amazon, just a guy that is nice to diana for being diana and not impressed by her powers or embodiment of truth and love.
>>
>>92008108
it was bland because it was for a kid shows and they ship the comic relationship without some development in the cartoon.
>>
>>92011213

Bruce can make Diana have a more tempered view of the human's nature and the world's societies, by showing that men in all its complexity can be good, as well make her have a more realistic outlook on her holy mission, that she doesn't have to base all her worth on fulfilling an almost impossible mission when just working on it is on itself good enough.

But then... you don't really need Batman at all for that. Steve Trevor can work in that vein well enough. That's why i'm optimistic about the movie. I feel that they're going with the cynical with a heart of gold approach with DCEU Trevor.
>>
>>92011551
In DCAU, Wondy was pissed she couldn't get one date. She was the one trying to pursue something. Not a good look for her really but made Batman look cool. He would've rather dated Babs too
>>
>>92006378

>>92011958

You should re-watch the old cartoons then because the first they they teased something going on between the characters was when Wonder Woman was buried under a rubble after trying to contain a warhead. Batman lost his mind worried sick about her safety and started to try dig her out frantically not caring that he was hurting his hands. Then Wonder Woman dug herself up fine and completely oblivious about Batman's behavior or the reason behind it.

The episode served to show that Batman was completely infatuated with her while Wonder Woman was totally unaware of his feelings or even about notions of romance.

Then through Hawkgirl teasing and her interactions with Steve Trevor during WWII she became aware of things like that and started to notice how the usually distant and stoic Batman would act uncharacteristically warm and caring with her. She then set out to tease him about it to test him and enjoy herself witnessing him spilling his spaghetti over her. It was only then that she started to develop feelings for him.

Even that episode where he listed the reasons why they wouldn't work ended with him singing in front of a audience his feelings for her because he needed to make embarrass himself by baring his soul in order to restore her from a curse.

So tell me again how Batman looked cool when the whole point is that he didn't felt worth enough to be with her despite being in love and would constantly make a fool of himself when it came anything relating her.

>>
>>92012031
Even the man who CREATED that subplot considered it resolved long ago, and when it first got brought up again in 1988 it is all but outright said in the narrative that this was editorially mandated bullshit and then dropped again, and when it comes up AGAIN they outright say in the comic that nothing that's going on makes any sense when compared to anything that happened before and it's almost like some higher power is changing all the bullshit to the way it was before the character development happened.

>>92012309

The thing i liked about DCAU Wonder Woman is that she was completely unaware about the more traditional and selfish romantic dynamic and the deeper workings of sexual relations. It was an extremely concept for her that she got to learn more about slowly through the life of the people around her until she finally met a man - DCAU Steve Trevor was one of the best versions of him, i wished he had survived and followed the JL to the future somehow - that her experience all the emotions she had slowly learned about. Then that relation gave her a broader understanding that shed some light to how some men around her actually felt about her.

It was a very nice character development that made a lot of sense for such an innocent and sheltered character. You know, instead of the character instantly following in love with a man she had just met without knowing more about him other than superficial shit.

Venditti finally does something right!
>>
>>92015067

But... her society isn't based on strength at all.

Think about it, the amazons isolated themselves after being brutally raped by Herakles and his chad friends. They were overwhelmed by his superior strength and enslaved because of it suffering his brutish ways. So once liberated by the gods they took their shit and hid themselves from the world, training only so they could better defend themselves from ever suffering something similar again. They train so they can remain at peace isolated without bothering anyone. They regard men as wicked and brutish, only knowing how to oppress and use others.

So why would they society be based on strength, something they accuse men to be all about?
>>
>>92015202

Not to mention that not every amazon is a trained fighter. There are amazons that never picked up a spear or sword, deciding to rather be priestess or scholars.

But hey! This is Brian Azzarello's amazons, that did nothing but spar and go out to murder rape sailors.

Dumbledore was flamboyant as fuck though, and was revealed to have an unhealthy obsession with someone who was a) handsome and b) a robot of a human who was essentially a magic White supremacist.

>Plum velvet suit
>Blushes when his earmuffs get complimented
>Proclaims the power of love above all else
>Never entered a relationship despite being nearly universally loved AND literally the strongest wizard in the country if not the world
>Wears women's clothing every chance he gets, such as when he wears Neville's grandmother's hat
>Hated his parents, thought his siblings were bores
>His brother was a goat fiddler (not really relevant, but still)
>His odd rants using made up words for shits and giggles
>Dicks over the house of prejudiced assholes every chance he gets
>'Ah music, a magic beyond anything we study here'

It fit, yet it didn't matter to the story whether you took it out or not. Is this not what /co/ desires from these kinds of relationships, gay people who are just people?

The instances in which the characters in Invincible go up in the power scale are always after a lethargic recovery. Either Mark or Allen or whatever, they spend some time in a coma after a bashing AND THEN they become stronger

Technically the blue chad is the cuck because was helping raise Mark's kid.

allow me.

If it makes you feel uncomfortable it is cucking, according to 4chan's rules. Like that picture of the black stepdad with the white stepdaughter and idiots were saying "haha wite boi got cucked" even though the white dad had remarried anyway.

>that's not how cuckolding works.

cuckolding works by raising a kid that isn't yours. usually this means your girlfriend being unfaithful and fucking someone else, so the kid you think is yours is not yours.

no one got cucked in this situation, there's just a lone chad who got together with a milf who is raising a kid alone.

You are right except for the raising kid part. He explicitly wanted nothing to do with the kid and that is the reason why it didn't work out between them. He just wanted to keep fucking Eve with no strings attached.

Also I'm sure it felt like that for Mark himself. It wasn't five years for him. He came back after what he thought was a short trip and finds out that his daughter grew up without him and his wife was fucking somebody else.
>>
>>92018078
>no one got cucked in this situation, there's just a lone chad who got together with a milf who is raising a kid alone.

If the father was actually dead that would be completely right, but I still maintain that blue chad is technically the cuck.

I can honestly get why people might not like Shawn, but I like the parallels drawn from him and Batman by being together with a "villain"

I also support Dick/Supergirll whenever the writers are ready for that amazing pairing

But mainly I want a future issue where the Supersons are a little older and in charge of babysitting Nightwing/Supergirl baby
>>
>>92012608

The problem with Shawn is that she's just too generic, the relationship between them was just too sudden and now the characters are super in love. It seems contrived and forced.
