If one doesn't like Superman with Diana that's certainly understanable, but he is all the same so that Superman being touched by a doppleganger's death makes all the sense in the world, and its a huge stretch to assume editorial interference on something so basic. <br /><br />There will be every opportunity, when Worlds' Finest changes format to early adventures of E2 Superman and Batman, to write the romance there, as it actually exists with that character.Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-27707786180681989032014-07-11T09:21:21.326-04:002014-07-11T09:21:21.326-04:00Well that's your opinion.

She wanted them to do something brash - save one of their doppelgangers for example, dramatically changing E2's history. <br /><br />I think she says they fall for a sentimental trap or something like that.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-25964247276224800672014-07-10T12:48:11.613-04:002014-07-10T12:48:11.613-04:00I read it, Anj, that at the end Kaiyo was disappoi...I read it, Anj, that at the end Kaiyo was disappointed because our regular heroes had lost the willingness to cross the line - doesn't she think something to that effect?Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-58147770680316981152014-07-09T21:21:58.756-04:002014-07-09T21:21:58.756-04:00The Lois/Superman romance would have gotten time i...The Lois/Superman romance would have gotten time if the story was told from Earth 2 Superman's POV. It was not, it was told from Prime Earth Superman's POV (partially). That Superman is with Diana, so a little nod to it was by no means inappropriate nor shoehorned.Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-88946317259282410492014-07-08T19:23:03.056-04:002014-07-08T19:23:03.056-04:00Honestly, I was already annoyed that Diana invaded...Honestly, I was already annoyed that Diana invaded a story about the one place where Clark and Lois were husband and wife. Her inclusion already felt clunky and forced to me. Like an editor told Pak, "oh yeah and you have to remind people of the romance." It just didn't fit. The Lois/Superman romance deserved the time on earth 2.<br /><br />To that end, I really hated the way she died as if retconned the original explanation that Robinson gave when he initially decided to fridge her. He promised fans that she died a hero and alluded that it was on assignment as a journalist. So Pak's choice here felt super underwhelming to me bc he basically took that agency away from her that we were promised years ago. Instead, it's basically just a fridging which is exactly what Robinson swore to fans it wouldn't be. --- Shades <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
