When the latest version of Supergirl debuted, a good deal of fandom recoiled in horror. What could they possibly have been basing their character designs off of? it was asked. She doesn't even look *human.* And who would wear stuff like that, anyway?

And, well. I'm not saying I disagree....
 

















 

My brain hurts, and not just because I spent the last couple hours looking at pictures of Paris Hilton.

To think I was worried about finding reasons to use the new icon.

That is just terrifying on so many levels.

AIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK

You know the worst part? Paris Hilton totally looks LESS terrifying to me now.

I'm just scared that Paris has more internal organs than S-girl.

alskdjf *brain breaks*

I think that has to be one of the Seven Signs of the Apocalypse. It really has to be.

Is it just me, or does Kara look healthier and more modestly dressed than Paris in a lot of those pictures?

[fashionsuprhero.livejournal.com]

That's...I mean...I just...there are...

THE HORROR! THE HORROR!

I think that covers it.

EEEEEEEEEEEK!

At least this is less personally problematic than the theory going 'round somewhere to the effect that Hal Jordan = Paris Hilton.

[vagabondsal.livejournal.com]

That's hot.

I'm just stunned how exactly those match. You win at destroying your brain for Our Cause.

[moontyger.livejournal.com]

Er, wow, that's...convincing. Eep.

Why would anyone think basing Supergirl on Paris Hilton was a good idea? My brain hurts.

[penknife.livejournal.com]

... yikes.

[vagabondsal.livejournal.com]

Also, oh dear God, what is that sticking out from under her pink dress?

[minim_calibre]

Damn. Talk about taking one for the team. I am both scared and in awe of the fact that your brain and eyeballs didn't melt completely while doing this.

You are amazing and I am deeply perturbed.

I think you may have a point. It disturbs me to no end that DC think we would rather have...this then Linda Danvers. I wonder if they will ever clue in that the majority of their readership is no longer 14 year old boys.

Ow ow ow ow ow! *barfs*

Eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!! *desperately attempts to clean out brain*

It doesn't even look human! Neither of them do! It's just so disgustingly creepy! Eeeeewwwww!!

Why does this scare everyone? Welcome to the new standard of beauty!

This makes me feel glorious, glorious in my loins.

I never realized how hated the new Supergirl was untill today. Im not going to sit here and disagree with you on the paris hilton thing, 'cause at the very least her poses had to have been "inspired" byt Paris. *shudder*

But I actually kind of like the new Kara. I find this costume a LOT better than the White/Blue one Linda wore. Of course, not better than Matrix/Kara the First. It seems to just be a kind of modern take on the classic design, as I do know people who would wear halfshirts and such.

I guess it could be worse, at least there isn't 50 panty shots in the first 2 pages like there was in the 80s series haha. I was glad to see, as much as I HATE The New artists (Turner and Churchil? Supergirl is really the only character I Follow, So Im not sure.) That even when her skirt flips, at least it's semi-"Modest" (For a Comic character that is :p)

I also feel the new costume looks a lot better in the Legion of Super heroes series. It's still "Sexy" but not in a bad way. But I do dig the gold trim on her costume :p

Anyway I hope you didn't take my response a bad way, Im definetley not challenging your opinions, I just found your post interesting and thought I'd comment :)
