*bangs head against wall*
Saw the recent Green Lantern post here. Was not impressed with the depiction of Fatality in it. Thought I'd post a comparison with the first issue of Green Lantern she showed up in.



*sarcasm* I can't imagine why any comic fangirl wouldn't fantasize about being one. */sarcasm*

The new version, courtesy of the GL post a few entries down:

The original (GL v3, #87):


That's way too much difference to just be the scene lighting (especially since she's backlit), but I suppose it's possible the colorist just made an error for that page.

I'm not going to be able to get to the comic shop until Friday afternoon, so tell me...

...does her skin tone get back to normal after that, or does it stay the same as it is in that first pic?

I'm also going to complain about her new costume. It makes even less sense for Fatality than the rest of the Star Sapphires. She's a trained, experienced warrior whose original outfit had complete coverage of all vital organs, and her species apparently isn't much tougher than humans. I can see her wearing the new costume when she's not in combat (given that it's designed a LOT like what she was wearing when she initially tracked down Kyle -- can't go running around New York in extra-terrestrial body armor after all, but a low-cut leather-and-fishnet top and some plain ol' jeans fit in reasonably well), but it's a bad choice on the artist's part to put her in this for a fight scene.

No, I'm trying to make a point about why I don't like artists favoring sex appeal over common sense in their designs.

Pandering to the lowest common denominator is just...kind of sad, really.

Fatality could be in a full-coverage uniform (common sense for combat), and if it was drawn sufficiently skin-tight, it'd still have plenty of sex appeal. Ring constructs are pure energy -- they don't need to be big and bulky to be protective.

Since when are they armored? The rings project a force field, and THAT is what protects a ringbearer in combat. There's nothing "common sense" about it, she could be completely naked save for her ring and be just as well protected.

It's all well and good to be against something merely because it's revealing and /or designed for sex appeal, but at least be honest about your motivations.
