Wonder Woman #07 rotting spoilers

[sherkahn]

I have to credit BleedingCool.com for this.


I've touched on the Batman spoilers today, but they start off with the revelations about Diana and her people. It's a new low for DCnU.
It's a doozy and may not sit well with most of you. Heck, the new S_D protocols may even be triggered.

Fair warning, SPOILERS AHOY.



Shouldn't we have a tag for "everything you thought you knew was wrong."?

From the article:

"Paradise Island, has always been portrayed as a preserve of women, with new generations emerging… in an non-specific fashion. Formed from clay, or girls lost at sea transported to the island. The new Wonder Woman does away with any such niceties. The women of Paradise Island now set off on the seas looking for other ships, for seamen… or rather, semen. They have sex with the sailors, and then kill them. The sex may have been consensual, but what happened after certainly issn’t. Later, those that have conceived children give birth, the female children staying, the male children… becoming hellish slaves of the infernal weaponry workshop."


"It’s a nightmarish vision made real by Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang, the harshness of the stories of the Gods now made flesh in a much less palatable way. And given light to the thought that somewhere, working at a lithe, forging a mighty sword, unaware of his lineage, is Wonder Woman’s brother…
"

I guess Donna is going to have a say about this other brother, and I am not too fond of this darker, seedy Paradise Island. It honestly sounds like a brothel/labor camp of the gods than an ideal community led by women, made of women, for the women.

Okay, so my first thought was, "Ew."

But I have to admit, my second thought was "DEATH BY SNOO-SNOO!"

Tim was almost a member of that club once...

I wonder if there wouldn't be as many squicky feelings if instead of forcing them into the drink Spartan style they literally killed their mates with snoo-snoo.

...You think people would be less squicked if instead of drowning them, they *raped them to death?*

[korvar]

That is the whole idea by "death by snu-snu". Raping men to death is funny, you see. It was in Futurama! Hilarity!

There is not a font big enough for the disgust emoticon I need.

[darkknightjrk]

That was a joke/Futurama reference that didn't quite work. Apologies.

[whitesycamore]

No, I got the joke, I just misread your first comment - I thought you were wondering if people *would* be as squicked if it was death by snu-snu. So yeah, apologies from my end too.
