In brush-strokes of yellow.

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.

Oops actually that furst statement I made wasn't actually directed at your post, as much as it was my thoughts after reading various message boards and LJs.
Fair 'nuff! I've just had a few people tell me "Yeah! I hate her too!" and I so hate working from false premises.


I personally wouldn't mind a new costume. But I've really grown to like the current one, WHEN IAN CHURCHILL GOES NO WHERE NEAR IT. (I can't even begin to state my hatered over the artists that draw ALL female characters as nothing more than sex objects. But thats just me)

Also EXACTLY THE SAME FACE. Him and Turner. The women have to pretty much wear name tags.

I really really despise the costume. It looks ugly and unbalanced to me (in a really porny way, but even if I pretend to ignore that). I can stomach it when Kitson or the occasional other artist pencils, but it still makes me unhappy. Still, I cast no judgment if you disagree.

Also, I feel very strongly that if she's going to fly around, she needs pants of some sort.

I personally wouldn't mind seeing the book become more about Kara as a person for awhile just to devolp her character better.

I think that's what they're *trying* to do now. It probably went like this:

Kelly: And I'd like to explore her character a little. Make her seem like a real teenage girl.
Berganza: Awesome! What's a real teenage girl?
Kelly: I, uh. I was, uh. Hoping *you'd* seen one before.
Churchill: Oh! I have!
Berganza: Great! Where?
Churchill: In magazines.
Kelly: ... I'm not sure Greg Land really needs the comp--
Churchill: *Tabloid* magazines. Paris Hilton was a teenage girl, right?
Berganza: Well, we *do* have visual evidence she's female.
Kelly: Okay, I've got it. Jack Nicholson said the secret to writing women is to think of a man, and then take away reason and accountability.
Berganza: He did?
Kelly: In a movie.
Berganza: Did it have teenage girls in?
Kelly: No, but it had Helen Hunt.
Berganza: Close enough. She's pretty blond.
Kelly: And teenage girls like boys.
Churchill: And horses! It might be fun to draw horses.
Kelly: I was talking about dating, actually.
Churchill: So was I.
Berganza: I don't think real teenage girls date horses.
Churchill: Sometimes they do.
Berganza: ...
Kelly: ...
Churchill: Oh, those wacky *Tabloid* magazines.
