Do you think the monster ever became a "dreamboat" again?
Boy, I was expecting a twist where Eros/Cupid being revealed as having pushed all these wacky romance plots out of a, "you need to get laid" or "just messing with you" motivation.
It's absolutely ridiculous. I hate it so much that I love it
😮😮😮 birdman LoL 🤣😊
LoL the octopus 🐙
Facts , Wonder woman could have been better
😂😂😂 Wonder woman should take a long vacation on Praise island
I'm sorry, but I can't get past the fact that Wonder Girl and Wonder Tot are also at Wonder Woman's wedding! Wonder Girl and Wonder Tot were supposed to be Wonder Woman when she was younger, and Robert Kanigher, as the creator of Wonder Girl and Wonder Tot, should of all people, know that. So unless Wonder Girl and Wonder Tot travelled through time somehow, I don't understand how they can be there at the wedding.
Bro got lost on his way to a Doom Patrol book and was upset he couldn't foster Beast Boy
Looks like Broccoli?
His name is Brock.
I lot of people compare the structure of Kanigher's Wonder Woman stories to that of a fairy tale. But I feel like the better comparison would be to old, cell animated cartoon shorts. These cartoons (like the original Bugs Bunny or Mickey Mouse cartoons) almost never had scripts. They didn't even really have storyboards in the modern sense. Instead, they had "gags." Gags were visual jokes lasting from 30 seconds to roughly two minutes. It could be something like "character slips on a bar of soap" or "character gets into a boxing match with his own jacket." The animators would come up with a premise, just as a way to direct these gags towards a specific theme, setting or concept. Then, anyone on the animation team could submit a gag. If a gag was particularly strong, but didn't get picked, they would often save it and use it in another short.
This feels very much like how Kanigher writes a Wonder Woman story. He comes up with a couple of ideas for scenes (lassoing a bolt of lightning, fighting a Sphinx, fighting King Kong) and then contrives a story so that he can string together these disconnected moments. It's a style of writing that lends itself somewhat better to comedy than it does to more "straightforward" fantasy adventure stories like Wonder Woman. I think if he had played everything a bit more tongue-in-cheek then it would have worked better.
Now I'm wondering why we never got a Guillemo del Toro directed Wonder Woman movie.
I'm disappointed that she doesn't marry egg foo I miss him sometimes Yes he was a Chinese stereotype but you know I like to imagine he was a gentle lover and any further incredibly ironic twist made excellent omelets for breakfast
So Superman and Wonder Woman both got Silver Age merperson love interests? Where's Batman's aquatic girlfriend then?
My question, as always, is, would Lois Lane marry the monster?
The kookiness of Wonder Woman #155 could've easily been explained as a concussion dream of Steve Trevor, but instead Robert Kanigher opted to end it with zero resolution.
You didn't say bye-bye and wave! Now who's the monster?
I feel like you could do an interesting nod to this using Wonder Girl and Beast Boy and maybe Hawk Man, Aqua Man, and some other non-super guy to stand in for Trevor.
Wait, why is this guy a hideous monster no woman could ever love, but Birdman with his freaky bird feet a perfectly acceptable suitor?
The monster must live in the same solar system to the Asparagus people.
Like the Hulk, he just wants to be left alone.
Wonder Woman would probably be happier with Comet
Don’t really care about a character that was designed by a live-in, fetishized maid that seen more feather dusters than a dusty table top.
That "monster" isn't that bad. Nice haircut
The thing I miss most about this era of WW is the exclamations. When was the last time she shouted "Suffering Sappho"?
So….. is Birdman connected to Hawkmans lore in anyway? Is he using Nth Metal wings? Does he have a reincarnated Egyptian background? Does he have connections to Thangar? If you made a Hawkman movie could you add Birdman as a supporting character without changing much about him?
You think that she would marry him just to teach the other three guys a lesson about their behavior and make them see their mistakes. They would apologize and she would call off the the wedding which would make the monster angry and attack, which would prompt the three guys to work together to subdue him. They then hit it off as friends and decide to go have a beer together completely forgetting about Wonder Woman who simply looks to the viewers and says the infamous line…"Men." Oh and as for the monster, his real bride shows up. Apparently she had a problem with her dress and needed to get it fixed which calms the monster, they get married with Wonder Woman being the brides maid…The End. But maybe I'm over thinking it.
my reaction to this issue is, "what is going on?"
Do you plan gonna talk about the Robinson/John’s JSA? ( best black canary imo)
