Is there a word for something that gives you all kinds of hope and still completely pisses you off?
I use the term "skullfuck" to describe my emotional state when I'm torn between feeling sorry for the idiots who just don't get it and wanting to kill them.
Some Random Damsel in Distress That Looks Like Black Canary
In fairness, Damsels In Distress are usually more interesting than the way Black Canary's been written since Dixon left Birds(1). I offer both Empowered as evidence and the fact I wouldn't pay $3.00 these for a comic that had Black Canary as a DID. No, no, no. Dinah has a ways to go before she's back to being as interesting and compelling as a DID. Right now it's Green Arrow/Blow-up Doll.

1. To this day, I'm unconvinced that was Black Canary in Dixon's comics, because I've never seen a BC before or since who was a funny, competent, and interesting. I think he created a new character and called her Black Canary for branding purposes. Either that or fishnets really do deduct 50pts of charisma.
