It would be funny if it wasn't so immature and sad.<br /><br />Lois Lane is a powerful character on her own with her own fans and, now, her own YA novel series doing very well. She is the star of the book and Clark Kent is merely a small supporting player. She is complex because she is both an amazing woman on her own and also half of one of the most famous fictional relationships in the world. She is both.<br /><br />Valuing the bond between Lois and Superman, as many women do, does not mean that either character is not wonderful on their own. It means that as the characters were created together and intended to be partners and a pair, they bring out certain things in the other that people enjoy. It's no different than enjoying Holmes and Watson except in this case.::sometimes they kiss. So don't try and play this game where you blame her "fans" for misuse of her in a sexist comics medium bc that's laughable. It's also coming from a place of total bias bc you want her out of the way so you can ship Superman with Wonder Woman. <br /><br />The hatred towards Lois from certain fans has always and will always been rooted in sexism and it's laughable across the board. She's not a trophy. She's much more threatening than than Lana Lang has ever was. She doesn't fit into the simple mode of being a trophy girlfriend and some men just cannot stand that and it's both sad and hilarious.<br /><br />Wonder Woman and Lois are both wonderful and are both treated equally poorly by DC Comics. Wonder Woman should have her own love interest as opposed to being co-opted to be with Superman---the one guy in the world who when powered actually matches her physical power. Lois should be treated as a partner and yet she's constantly put down by guys who would prefer that Superman have a hotter prize on his arm. Lois is integral to the Superman mythos and the mythos suffers when she's pushed aside. Wonder Woman has her own wonderful mythos that outside of Justice League should not revolve around Superman. Both women are wonderful and deserve better treatment across the board. The attacks on Lois are laughable and predictable and, at this point, I expect nothing better but hope that eventually you people grow up.<br /><br />-Kate Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-75869757885049438012015-06-25T09:34:22.959-04:002015-06-25T09:34:22.959-04:00Well this was jarring as hell.

Superman with Wonder Woman makes more sense to me. <br /><br />Sadly, I feel that the reason why Lois does not have her very own ongoing series yet is because, SOME of her louder fans, are doing her a disservice. Every argument they have towards her strength as a character is usually accompanied with how her and Superman are "destined" to be together, and how Superman is "better off" with her, and how she "grounds" him. <br /><br />I say, let her be on her own with her own book, and have her own romance for a change and let Superman be with Wonder Woman.

If she was a male reporter, the behavior is that of a jerk. If that was Steve Lombard or Cat Grant, you hear from those Lois fans. She drew a mustache on a pic...wow. Like Clark couldn't see that. I agree she has Clark by the balls because writers make him stupid and he can't seem to do stuff that people like Pak and Morrison would have had him figure out already. But must find a way to shoehorn Lois in there, mustn't we? Because if we did write Clark as he should be written, both would be on his/her own beat , chasing their own leads and reporting their stories.

The character is dependent on Clark and Superman to be relevant. She couldn't even sell a one shot and get a series going because her fans her only concerned about shipping. They say one but the reality is Lois cannot stand without Superman. The same Wonder Woman who they raging at... has her own title that isn't reliant on Superman and for many decades she did not need Steve Trevor's to define who she is. Lois cannot say the same.

How dare she be assertive and aggressive and go after what she wants? How dare she do what's right and call Clark out on his crap when he seemingly showed zero compassion for a woman who came seeking help? You know women! They be trouble! "<br /><br />Lois Lane is a Queen. She was the best thing about this book and the only character that Yang actually wrote heroically. Clark came off as a total jerk and Jimmy like a child.<br /><br />I hate the premise of this arc for Lois. I hate that it sets her up to fall even though the story seems to indicate that she may prove heroic in all of this. I hate a rift coming between Lois and Clark but I will say this: let them fight it out for awhile if they want to. Let them yell and scream at each other. And then let them have the crazy hate sex that we've been waiting for for 77 years. Bc although I prefer the romance/marriage, I'll say this...even fighting it out they still have more chemistry between them than anyone else. <br /><br />Lois's contribution weak? Don't make me laugh. Superman may be dating Wonder Woman now (yawn) but Lois is still the woman who has him by the balls and I'm HERE for that.
