Trinity #44

Geeze, Clark, Bruce, I've seen you guys have great dickery moments before, but nothing like this. If only she also said "I won't be just a memory". XD Go Tommie!

This my friends is badass. Blasting the dieties who you need for survival and are a many times more powerful than you? Awesome. Blasting them with the memories of your tormented mind as well as those of their friends and families feelings? Badass.

Blah blah blah. Some talk about Tommie not belonging to this world and everyone gets into an argument.

Finally! Fixed her!

Hmm...but what's exactly happened to Tommie?

Also I kind of like the conundrum. They might be dickish but they literally have the power to fix the world of course then we start into the how do you decide what needs fixing...still a great Tomorrow Woman issue. Seems she's here to stay but still the rest of Trinity will show if that's true or not.

Awesome. Y/Y?

Y'know, I don't think it is that important that Tresser have a lover, since as far as we know he doesn't. STOP THAT BUSIEK. Just STOP. Frankly even without the painful paper-thin absence of foundation for Tresser being here, it's a far, far better literary choice to say "for Donna Troy to have a sister," since Donna frequently hasn't, and the bizarre mess of her relationship with Diana provides a far more poignant set of complications to the question "are they wrong" than freakin' Tresser.

In other, non-Wondy news...

Hmm...but what's exactly happened to Tommie?

Either she's human now or she's a robot now would be my guess - our version was a robot, but the Clara Kendall version was a mutant human, right? (I could be wrong, that was many issues ago and about the time my attitude toward the title was shifting.) So maybe they made her herself here (hence a robot, hence different for her), or maybe they made her human (if she were a robot in the false reality).

I think she's back for good at any rate. That's a lot of panel time to go to someone who's really got nothing at all to do with the ostensible storyline or its ostensible main players to just throw out by the end of the series.

	Yeah. Even in WW the farthest they've gone is kissing. Kinda odd. Hmm. Human or android. I'd like either. Hoping for android though. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Anyway, he could get back together with Eve Eden if he has to have a fairy princess girlfriend. They've both gone through a lot, but it would probably still be less work for more payoff than whatever mindfuck Di is running on him. Note: I don't believe Diana is really a lesbian experimenting, as some fans might claim. I just don't quite buy her with Tom. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Yeah, and he might have said it was important for Dick Grayson to have a father than Alfred to be Bruce's Dad. They didn't, get over it.

Look, you don't like him using Tresser in this, fine, we get that, I'm not that hot on it myself as I liked Tresser in his solo stoey and Suicide Squad days and this iteration has never seemed like him.

Is it "paper thin"? Perhaps, but it's THERE, and complaining just about every single week about Busiek actually USING a character that he actively made a choice to use (for better or worse) is a hiding to nothing.

Narratively it would be worse to build him up and then NOT mention him at key moments. If he were to "stop now", you'd end up with a complete clusterbollocks like Countdown, where character relations consistency between issues was a moot point.

Plus I'd also throw in that "lover" does NOT always means someone you've had sex with, it can just mean someone you love. Not as common these days, but still in use.

So... it's better for Beechen to stick by his Cass characterization and write a whole mini to further entrench it than to realize that that first storyarc was a mistake and alter his portrayal? It's better for Gail to stay with the "Diana's a directionless moron" characterization from the Heinboot than to write her well? It's better for Bedard to say "Shado is Connor's mother, I wrote it now I'm going to stick with it" and make a point of that in further issues? It's better for Tomasi to keep Dick useless, fail-y and weak in order to have issue-to-issue consistency with RIP and prior runs of NIGHTWING?

	I should like to pre-emptively apologise to bluefall for the phrasing of my last post. Whilst I stand by the underlying message of it, the wording was poorly thought out and could easily be viewed as short tempered at best, or even downright rude, which I try not to be to fellow posters. I'll try for better in the future. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
