It's fun. The end of the 2nd chapter alone makes the whole story worth a read. 😂

I don't know about other people but when I read books as a child, and teenager I was attracted to the fantastical, mythical etc. I recalled when I saw WW for the first time with Lynda Carter, saw the Super Friends and read about Elves and Fairies, was introduced to Jedi and all sorts of powerful characters like wizards, witches, genies, Gods from different Pantheons, I never once thought...boy I want to ground them and I want them be like me and live like me in the mundane world I did. I dreamed of leaping and flying and twirling a light saber and using the force or moving objects with my mind. I never saw the sorceresses or princes or mermaid as lacking in feeling and emotions and not having challenges and needing to grow. Hell I wanted to be like them! I did not want to me in that who doesn't as a kid want to fly or cast spells or speak to animals???! When I read as an adult I can also empathize with different beings. I am not so blinkered and my mind so narrow I cannot work out what is fantasy or reality and that whether a work is fantastical or reality based...I can still connect with characters no matter where they are from. Trying to cut smww down, repress them to fit one mold than allowing them to be epic and expansive is like putting birds in a cage imo and clipping their wings.

Good lord, no one watching Lord of the Rings thinks Elves and Hobbits can't love or have the same emotional journey humans have or Star Wars wants Luke to stay on Tatooine and marry a girl there and raise kids in the desert or depending on the version, he should never have married Mara Jade but only been with someone regular else he could not be a hero. Clark and Diana are as humane as any good being, even not being human, ...it was never about race or power...but their innate goodness and compassion, nurturing and experiences . Humans are not all amazing. They can be truly evil when they want to be yet DC wants to suggest their dna do not hold them back from being great...they can do anything, go to space, rule kingdoms, marry up, inspire aliens, even police them etc but outsiders cannot because of their dna???. It is lazy , myopic writers who do this.

Those parts!
I was an avid reader of fantasy and fiction as a child, and what drew me to these tales was their ability to set off my imagination. Not only was I able to delve into these fantastical worlds and moments, but I was able to IMAGINE as you stated, of having powers, or being super strong, fantasizing of being able to leap up and fly. I used to spend hours in the neighborhood library reading through the comics section, getting into the stories and at no point in time was I unable to relate with a character because they were meta or superpowered. I mean we've had shows with a talking bunny, bird, cat, mouse, etc, and I was still able to be entertained. It didn't prevent me from being able to engage with the storyline or relate at times to it.

When people make weak claims about Clark and Diana having to be paired with humans in order for them to find them as "relatable" I find that concerning. What it shows me is an inability to be able to identify, have empathy for someone or something that isn't like ones own self. That prejudice becomes even more glaringly obvious with those who have issues with Clark being addressed as 'Kal' in their attempt to distance him further with anything that "others" him. It becomes all the more disturbing when it is promoted in media by a company who claims to want to reach a diverse population yet wittingly or unwittingly pushes xenophobic rhetorics by using such a significant character as Superman, a character created to push back against such a thing.

It's crazy that Superman had less of an identity issue 40/50 years ago, embraced all of who he was, didn't feel like he had to be "normal" by the bizarre definition used as him pretending to be human or trying to assimilate, than he does in the 21st century. That says a lot.

The following quote shared with me deeply resonates:
[Stories are how we learn to make choices. Stories are how we learn to access the moral and emotional resources we need to face the uncertain, the unknown, and the unexpected mindfully. Because stories speak the language of emotion, the language of the heart, they teach us not only how we “ought to” act, but can in inspire us with the “courage to” act. And because the sources of emotion on which they draw are in our values, our stories can help us translates our values into action.]

This quote reminds me of the importance of stories and why care needs to be taken on the narratives promoted. The last part especially is why I will always stand by the stance that it says more about those who push detrimental storylines about SMWW together than it does about the actual characters. Whether good or bad, a story will reveal the type of value held by the writer. Absolutely no one who actually cares about the characters of Superman and Wonder Woman would buy into the hogwash ideology that they become dictatorial when together or lose their compassion and innate goodness, their moral compass, when not with a human love interest. Not to speak of implying that their care for humanity is derived from being with a human love interest. 🤦🏾*♀️

The following clip from my "forever First Lady" (part of a real life power couple 😉 ), in which she shares why it is important to marry someone your equal speaks a lot to me as an SMWW fan. Your significant other should be someone who you share similar values with. Someone equally strong, and who is comfortable with you being strong. As she reminds, your spouse/significant other is your teammate. You both have to be equally in it, have each other's back. It is why I will forever be for SMWW because they reflect strong, real life healthy dynamics, and it gets reaffirmed to me every time I come across people who have been married for years in a healthy, loving relationship. I always hear couples say how their spouse is their best friend. How their spouse understands them in a way nobody else does. How they are able to be vulnerable and completely themselves with their significant other. How often did we see this with Superman and Wonder Woman whether in their friendship or their romantic relationship?

A long sustainable relationship also involves reciprocity. It is not about one person dictating how the relationship is going to be while the other is a lapdog or co-dependent. I don't know what about that kind of twisted and unbalanced dynamic is supposed to be romantic or appealing.

Superman and Wonder Woman were a force to be reckoned with individually, but together they were dynamite. And that's part of their appeal. They only get better together. They both grow. Challenge each other in meaningful ways, and will never sit back and allow the other to engage in questionable behavior.
A positive and a positive will always be Positive never negative.

I think the reason why this is being twisted because of the amount of effort and creativity it takes to truly convey how extraordinary these characters are yet so aspirational and relatable. It’s very complexed but they are looked upon in a superficial sense.

However this mindset is so contradicting when they make and put human characters on the level of Superman and Wonder Woman. Because certain writers don’t understand the complexity, it’s easier for them to strip away certain aspects, set limitations etc.

I am inclined to agree. Ones own perspective and understanding of things is also going to influence how they write about it. If it's only a superficial understanding, that will show.

Went to a Birthday party yesterday! Walked around the arcade area and spotted this! Superfriends coin/token machines.

Each side had hero vs villain. Justice league vs Legion of Doom. Superman vs Lex, Wonder Woman vs Cheetah, Aquaman vs. Manta, and Batman vs Joker. Within each as well are paired fluffies: Superman/Lex, Batman/Joker, Aquman/Flash and our Power Couple 🤗

SMWW together in this coin machine or elsewhere is a natural act ... associating SM with WW and vice versa is the natural order of things ... they complete each other!

Like Deiasilva said, SMWW anywhere is only natural, because truth be told they are inevitable. 🙃

I still find it completely hypocritical that DC said during the new 52 that SMWW was the best couple, "the power couple". But, in Rebirth they said they were garbage and Lois and Clark were the real power couple.
