Wonder Woman Controversial Opinions Part 2

[HestiasHearth]

Trevor Barnes is the best male love interest Diana has ever had.

Although I will always ship Diana/Steve, I really like Trevor Barnes, and I would love if he were brought back.

Although I will always ship Diana/Steve, I really like Trevor Barnes, and I would love if he were brought back.

I only want him to come back if he has powers and brings along his nephew. They could totally be the Wonder analogues to the Irons and Fox families and give Wonder Woman two black male allies to expand her mythos.

DC won't do that, but they should. Since they're always trying to get more sausage at the party.

I gotta say that I 100 % agree with this. I have always wanted Trevor and Bobby Barnes to be "resurrected" from comic book limbo, and although I never thought of Trevor as a meta (that, imo, is what Bobby would be for), I can see that. Heck, I would be thrilled if dudes like Ferdinand, Siggy (whom I have warmed up to recently), Trevor & Bobby were all part of Diana's regular extended family. I sound like a broken record, but damn...what I wouldn't give for a Wonder Woman companion book similar to the old Superman Family comic. This book would be a perfect way to explore Diana's cast of characters and give them a much needed showcase.


ETA: why in the eff I can never do images like most people here? I usually see these images everyone seems to be able to bring in, which are decently sized images inserted under their posts (not attached as thumbnails you have to click on). So frustrating...

what you are doing is using the option "insert image" -» "from computer"

what we're doing is "insert image" -» "from URL"

which means these images are posted in other websites and we are just copying the link to them. It doesn't work with all images though. And sometimes I have to upload these images to other websites like IMGUR or REDDIT in order to reference them.

Yeah that's got to suck, my problem is every pic I post is small. For instance this picture was copied from another thread where it was huge

DP SAMPERE.jpg

but when I repost it, it's much smaller for some reason that I can't figure out. There's an unusual appreciation thread I want to make, but can't because the pics will all be tiny and underwhelming.

Thanks so much for taking the time to explain this.
Every time I do what you told me, I get a "that file you posted is too large" message, which I understand. I don't want to post a ridiculously large file, but I always enjoy inserted images better than little thumbnails that one has to click on.

I think I'm gonna try resizing the pic I want to share (using Photoshop), uploading it to a free imagehost site, and see what happens...

ETA: damn...even after resizing it several times down to a size that is barely above a thumbnail size, it CBR still tells me that the image I want to post is too large of a file. WTF How the heck are people even being able to insert all these images that are super large? What am I doing wrong? Isnt jpg the smallest sized file?

See? On my side of things, that size you just posted is the "perfect" size of pic that I want to post. But when I try to do it, CBR still tells me the file is too large. Damn lol

ETA: wait...when I first looked at your pic, it was a larger-yet-decent sized pic...and now it's a tiny thumbnail.
Some people post images that never shrink, and always look large... Ah, I am so not an expert on this stuff

ETA2
....and now I look at it again and it's back to being a decent size. Hmm. I bet that when I edit this and save it, it will be a tiny thumbnail again...

Use imagebb and insert it with [img] [/img]

You can open in a new tab to see full size.

Let's see...



Oh ****...it worked.

THANK YOU!!!!

Koriand'r, when you have a pic you want to share with us, just do what PrimalSlayer said. Go to imgbb.com and upload the pic. When it's done, you will see an "HTML full link" code that looks like this:

<a href="https://ibb.co/ZXFVfrD"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/SyMP6gC/SupFam.jpg" alt="SupFam" border="0"></a>

All you do to insert the image here in the size you intended is cut and paste THE BOLDED PART only^^^, and surround it with [img] and [/img]

Your text should look like this (except with your own link to your already uploaded image) on the reply to thread space before you hit submit:




And it will look like this (except it will have the image YOU choose in the size that you uploaded) after you hit submit:



ETA: I just realized that somehow, if the image I upload on imgbb is megalarge, it will only show up here as a size just a tad larger than the one above (which is still better than a thumbnail). So I have no idea how so many people are able to post huge ass images...

ETA2
Let me try this again

[Perseus]

Lots of posters talk about bring old golden/silver age villains back, and then never go into detail about how, why, and what they would revamp. And then go on to list the stupidest names I've ever heard of in my life, like I understand that we operate in a world were a character can be like 'call me NIgHtPaIn!' and it's supposed to be cool or whatever but, I'm sorry, I for one do not care about some stupid named villain from the 40s/50s who has literally nothing going for them. Especially if what constitutes a revamp is just slapping them onto a book now, copy and paste, and call it a day.

'but it's campy fun, that's just what it was' I hear some people say, well camp implies that it's so bad that it ends up being good. I would prefer if the characters, villains in particular, were good inherently and not because the premise is so silly or out there and 'avant garde' that its first initial response is... 'wow, this is so stupid'

Yaaaaaayyyy it worked! Thanks Primal Slayer and Hestia's Hearth!

Yeah, a lot of the veneration of the Golden and Silver ages is based in some really shallow reasons for enjoying them. Every once in a while I'll see someone asking for the Holiday Girls back despite the fact that they can't name one single character among them or pin down their personality. These same people will also dismiss well defined characters as boring or too angsty. Diana's post crisis depictions get similar accusations despite being a more well rounded character than than perpetually and shallowly boisterous character Marston wrote and fans will defend runs with objectively bad writing simply because something from them reminded them of anything from before 1987.
