I will be at my comic store later this week and I will look for it. As for wanting either betty or Veronica, I feel like both of those characters can be found in some people. But since they are both comic characters they are technically unattainable. I feel like there are moments in my life where I have been a bit of Betty and sometimes a bit of Veronica. I dunno, I may be rambling too much.<br /><br />As for Adora and She-Ra, there are changes in the way she looks. As Adora her skin is fair and hair short. In my mind she is also average in body type. Like she has some meat on her bones. I do think of her as she looks for the most part in the cartoon. When she turns into She-Ra her body becomes more tone, her skin tone is more tan, the hair is longer. Her voice is more commanding. With the change in her body size with muscle and what not, that would also change her face structure. Nothing severe or anything, but just enough of s difference that no one would think they were the same. However some people may be catching on sooner than others.<br /><br />I also think of Adora and Catra as both being beautiful. Catra is not jealous of Adora's looks. Her jealousy stems from so many other factors, and what makes Catra so ugly is her personality. Or rather parts of her personality. She refuses to look at herself and what is stopping her from finding happiness. She is wanting to hate and blame other people for things. I mean that is part of it. Catra is a complicated character. I hope they all are, but especially her. And I don't think she realizes how beautiful she is, if only because she hasn't really been in a position to base things off of how she looks. It has been more about her actions and role in the Horde.

Something about a vampire clan cloning Riverdale citizens and the clones are vampires! So I guess Ronnie is not really a vamp.But she does look so adorable in that Vampirilla outfit! I know everyone is supposed to be either into Betty or Veronica, I like both. But I think Veronica gets the leg up on Betty because she is rich and bitchy and unattainable. Doesn't everyone want to attain the unattainable? (though, I suppose since they are both comic book characters they are both technically unattainable!) But I would want to thaw her icy heart. (maybe I should be into Frosta too now that I think of it!)<br /> So how different does She-ra look than Adora in your mythology?Is it a Clark Kent or a Hanna Montanna situation where it looks just like the counterpart?or is it that the two seem very different when you look at them?<br />ans speaking of a Betty Veronica type question, in your mythology, do you think Catra and Adora are equal in their beauty? I always thought Catra was probably just as hot as <br />adora but her jealousy made her weaker than her -and unable to realize how hot she is.spazzblisternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-76218559506899099632012-09-03T21:01:34.316-05:002012-09-03T21:01:34.316-05:00Well one thing I think some people (particularly p...Well one thing I think some people (particularly people who don't like POP) tend to think that the female characters are all sweet and silly. And one thing I really want to do with this story is show that these women are not sitting around wanting to play dress up and brush each other's hair. Not that there is anything wrong with those things (I would hope they'd all brush their hair) but I want to show that they can get tough and gritty too. I mean they are fighting for their freedom from the Horde. This is not going to be easy.<br /><br />With Bow and Sea Hawk, I wanted that to be an interesting conversation. Bow has spent more time with females, so even though he may have the same desires as Hawk (as evidenced when Bow and Mermista kiss) he doesn't carry himself the same way. And I think they both feel threatened by each other for different ways. Bow doesn't have Hawk's swagger, but Hawk doesn't have the closeness with the female characters. Not that Hawk is wanting to be close so he can sleep with them all, it is more a front.<br /><br />Now the difference between Adora and She-Ra is that when Adora becomes She-Ra, there is all this confidence. As Adora, there are just too many burdens for her, like with her actions from the past or her stresses over finding her brother. Plus, Adora learns different things about people depending on when she is herself or when she transforms into She-Ra. For example, Sea Hawk is not going to try and kiss She-Ra. But he may just confide in her, which changes the dynamic for when She-Ra is Adora. I hope this makes sense. It's not that She-Ra doesn't have a care in the world, but it is more like a bigger dash of confidence and awareness. <br /><br />And I am totally going to check out that Betty and Veronica issue. That sounds like so much fun! I also need to catch up on Wonder Woman, I have really liked the issue I have read so far.

I mean, he was male and a crazy monster guy so it felt antithetical to the theme of the show for a male character to take all the hard knocks. I mean, if your gonna have a show where the girls get to be the bad asses then they need to take the prat falls too-it's only fair, which is why I'm glad you are using the trapdoor on girls instead of guys. I know you don't use it as a joke, like it was used in the cartoon, but you use it as punishment for important members of the Horde,and the females really were some of the strongest hordse_"men"-that gets lost in certain fandom because everyone wants to own a monster figure, but the girls were really important, and often times more deserving of a tradooring than mantenna. Catra in particular being the captain should have got dumped at least ten more times than she got it in the original show.<br />I like Bow and Sea Hawk hating each other-though I gotta say it seems like bow is being the bigger dick. All Hawk was trying to do was bond a bit over the fact that they are both hanging with drool-worthy women -a LOT of drool worthy women. That is just the natural male response to that sort of thing. Yes, we may seem like asses when we make flirty sexist comments towards ladies, but sometimes its all we can do because we are blinded by the hotness. If only all girls knew that in those situations they really have the upper hand and we are just grasping at straws...she-ra seems to get it, but then Adora doesn't seem to, even though they are the same woman. Maybe that transformation really does change who the person is beyond the physical look.<br />Oh-and Miss M, I just got Wonder Woman 12! checkin' it out for the month. You know what else I found on the comic rack? Betty and Veronica has this "Betty the Vampire Slayer vs. Vampironica" Veronica is dressed like Vampirella ! so cute. You should check out the artwork!spazzblisternoreply@blogger.com
