I read today that Moss' chararcter was a man in the original Alias series.
Why did they decide to make her a lesbian for the show? I mean, beyond IT'S 2016!!!!!
>>80567482
I'm pretty sure that's the only reason man at least the actress didn't suck.
>>80567482
Lesbians are the best, kindest, and most holy of goddess' creatures every male character should be a lesbian because it's 2016
>>80567482
Because it makes my dick hard.
Dat seduction scene.
>>80567482
because its the current year like come on
>>80567606
>I have no idea who this character is, but I'll shitpost anyway
>>80567482
Does it matter? You didn't read the comic anyway.
>>80567879
>reading a Bendis book
The "Bendis was ever good" claim is just a meme
>>80567482
That character was never in Alias in any form. He/She's from Heroes for Hire.
>>80567482
>Why did they decide to make her a lesbian for the show?
To show that women can be horrible people too
>>80568046
Bendis was good?
>>80568643
Bendis the comic book writer?
>>80567482
So she can make butchy dyke faces in every episode, OP.
>>80568659
Brian Michael Bendis?
>>80567482
>I read about a comic today
That's nice, /tv/.
>>80568699
Yknow, Bendis? He writes comics?
>>80568712
Bendis was a writer? (For comics?)
CURRENT YEAR
>>80567482
This is why the mods should have separated live action from /co/
It's valid to make a thread about having read the Wikipedia page for a comic now
>>80568046
Character in question is Iron Fist character and did not make any appearances in Alias.
The story was that
>"what if we give him a vagina?"
>"PRINT THAT SHIT"
To show that the show wasn't just anti-man feminist propaganda, and that women, even gay women, can be just as awful. Also to show that Kilgrave isn't just the way he is because he has powers, people without powers can be just as terrible.
Also so they could have a lesbian fingering scene that was hot as hell.
>>80567662
Is there a video of that scene?
>>80567482
Who cares? It's nice to see Moss' handsome ass on screen again.
>>80568723
It's amusing how as soon as this meme popped up you stopped seeing less 'ISHYGDDT' posted, which was a pretty staple 'current year' meme on 4chan for like 6 years.
Is this whole site just /pol/'s bitch now or what?
>>80569440
Shiggy diggy has been dying since New Year's Day 2012.
>>80569440
>>80569516
I still see Costanza every now and then
>>80568720
Yes. People still write comics in 2016 (I know, right?)
>>80569631
Exactly, you just see Costanza. It's been degrading over time, from "I seriously hope you guys don't do this," to "ISHYGDDT" to "I shiggy doggy doo, where are you?" and other variants. The 2011+5 and other bits playing around with the date were almost entirely dropped in the past few years, long before IT'S THE CURRENT YEAR began to come about.
>>80567482
I dunno.
I think i'll remember the fact she's a manipulative cunt first and foremost.
so yay? social progress?
>>80567482
Because [CURRENT YEAR] it doesn't get past that
>>80567482
Well, I might be a Paranoid SJW on this. But IT felt like this entire storyline on a whole felt really REALLY shitty representation-wise. Like I understant wanting to portray same-sex couples as having problems and divorcing, but this entire storyline felt excessively brutal for no real reason other than raw shock. Plus it played into that annoying "Tragic lesbians" Trope, like, how many lesbians in TV and Movies don't just tragically die or have their relationships break down?
>>80569058
Do you not have netflix?
>>80570413
I don't want to watch an entire 10 hour show just to see one potentially sexy scene.
>>80567879
Neither did you, apparently
>>80568257
This. The whole point of everyone in this show is that to some degree everyone is a horrible person, but it's your personal choices that separate you from being the average fare to a hero or a monster.
>>80570329
the thing is, >>80569041
is exactly right.
it wasn't an attempt to represent anything. it wasn't a social statement. it was a story about a manipulative selfish asshole of a lawyer, and that lawyer's affair.
switch genders of Hogarth, secretary, or (ex-)wife, make any of them a dude, make all three of them dudes, whatever you want, and the story doesn't change.
and that's the way it should be.
>>80570465
you know you can just skip to that scene right
>>80570498
That was tumblr copypasta, bro.
>>80570542
But in what episode is it? I don't even know what scene the guy was talking about.
>>80569756
I take it you don't browse /mu/ because current year + shiggy diggy was a key component to /mu/ shitposting up until last year
>>80568046
So I'm wondering
Everytime there is a fucking thread on how Bendis is a hack, a bad writer, bla bla bla he destroyed my favorite character, bla bla bla everyone seem to conveniently forget that he also did some amazing work (Ultimate Spider-Man and especially pic related being my personal favorites).
So I'm wondering /co/, do you actually read comic books ? Or are you just picking issues and throwing them away as soon as you're finished with them, treating comics like garbage and forgetting everything that was great ?
As a guy who grew up paying 12 to 15€ for barely 50 pages of 9th art, I'm disgusted by this attitude.
Yeah Bendis wrote some bad stuff, he wrote some good too. There are a fuckton of worse writers out there, there are a fuckton of bad artists, but nope, no one gives a shit. Meanwhile, everyone eats Snyder & co like candy, and no one calls them hacks. Really wondering wtf is going on.
>>80569631
Man I haven't seen those letters in ages
>>80569041
>Also so they could have a lesbian fingering scene that was hot as hell.What episode?
>>80572204
>Nobody on /co/ calls Snyder a hack
That's bullshit and you know it.
I agree with your point overall, though.
>>80572204
Most of the stuff he created himself has been good. Some of the company stuff he wrote has been goof.
But there was a point in which he just stopped caring or maybe gave too much leway to editiorial input (or too little) and stuff like teen x-men happened and GotG
So, do you actually read comics?
>>80572284
Jesus anon, just watch some porn already
>>80567482
Don't be pissy or an idiot.
They did it to reverse the normal gender ratio of characters in similar shows.
There was some twitter post where someone made a joke about it
>The main male characters are just fuckbuddies, victims, blah blah, and Kilgrave
>oh that's how it feels
>>80567482
I actually liked this decision and this plot. Why, you ask? Because it's an nice balance to all the SJW shit and that mentality in general. How? By showing that yes even women and lesbians can be obsessed with power and control and do abhorrent shit, not just men.
