Do you have a female character that might not (rightfully) fit with a modern audience? Is the woman you’re trying to portray lovesick,overtly sexual or a bit naive? Maybe a combination of all three?

Well the show has a very easy solution to that! Make the character competent yet angry with a very short fuse.

Comic Amber is love sick and naive? Make her this exemplary teen who politically goes above and beyond everything most actual politicians do but also give her a very short fuse and make her angry. You knew that your boyfriend is a super hero but it doesn’t fit narratically with the show / comic parallel? Just make her blow up at invincible. Problem solved!

Comic Queen Atlantis is naive and love sick? Immediately falling in love with invincible with a forced marriage? Well, just make her angry and competent.

Is your comic duplicate at risk of being groomed by a 2000 year old immortal man? Well don’t worry. Make her angry with a very short fuse and make her hypocritically blow up at Rex for daring to hypocritically call out her cheating on him while having sex with said immortal being.

Is comic Allen the alien throwing it down with big busted, single minded alien boob model? Well don’t worry. Just make her angry and competent. Now it’s commander Talia, who to be fair still had sex. It’s open to see if she is going to cheat on him or if she will be just angry and competent at Allen the stoner alien.

    So what your post tells me is that your idea of a good female character is to either have her be a ”big busted, single minded alien boob model” or naive and lovestruck which both seem very one note to me, so the problem you really have is that they are changing the female characters to actually give them some actual personality which shows where your head is at.

    Kate was right about Rex by the way. He cheated on Eve with Kate so he has no right to call Kate out on “cheating” especially since Rex and Kate were never actually in a relationship.
