Ya can't see nothing but broken links.

[superfangirl1]

Ahh,I will try to fix sorry.

[superfangirl1]

Does it work now? :)

[icon_uk]

Sorry, no.

[superfangirl1]

Okay now and everybody can see the images? :)

[stubbleupdate]

Why not just do what I did [img src = "the url of the big picture"] to get your pictures up big size? It's your picture that I'm showing in my first comment.

Just remember to use pointy brackets instead of square ones.

[aaron_bourque]

I can!

Thumbnails!

. . .

Well, that's sad.

Aaron "The Mad Whitaker" Bourque; at least they recognize the fridging as a cliche.

[shanejayell]

So.. the fridged Lois to give Kal a reason to be a hero?

Way to go, DC.

[schala_kid]

The funny aspect of this is that Lois herself realized just how stupid that was too.

[shupermang.insanejournal.com]

Guh-Buh-Whuh?

DC, Y U hate us?

[icon_uk]

Actually having her comment on how cliché it is, really does bugger all to improve the tediously obvious fridgie-ness of the moment.

[biod]

Actually I think it's worse. They knew they were doing it and were too damn lazy to think of anything else.

[shadowpsykie]

im torn.... its definately a text book fridge... but... now i don't want to say it's better... but there are two things that... ugh... this is hard... takes the "sting" out of it... 1) She comments on how cliched it is.... 2) she tells him "Don't do it because of me. Do it because it's the right thing to do..."

knowing snyder's writing... i think its more like:
Editorial: Okay... Kill Lois....
Synder:.... 0_o....are you...?. *Sigh* okay fine.... *Writes fourth wall breaking Lois*

[biznizzonpeyote]

I dunno, maybe because I'm not a cynic like a lot of people here, but I actually thought this was a somewhat touching moment.

[swatkat]

It's not cynicism, just tiredness that comes from yet another woman dying so that the man can be a hero.

[darkknightjrk]

You know what this reminds me of? Superman: The Movie, where he finds out Lois died while stopping all of Luthor's missiles. He's shocked, horrified...and he flies away to change the course of human history so that she can live.

That's rather clever.

[biod]

Silly as that was I love that moment for the simple refusal of reality. He's the goddam Superman! No way he's going to let something as silly as a missile or time take Lois freakin' Lane away from him!

[tsunamiwombat]

Does this mean Superman is going to go around kicking everyones ass now? Please oh please.

[shadowpsykie]

i REALLY hope that is the case.... a POSTAL Superman going... "OKay... everyone. behave. NOW"

[proteus_lives]

Not seeing your images.

[superfangirl1]

Can you see it now. I change it a little? :)

[fifthie]

I was actually thinking to myself this is maybe a little bit good, then BOOSH, totally gratuitous fridging.

[biznizzonpeyote]

Oh, yes. It reminds me of Homer's Iliad when Patroclus was killed solely to motivate Achilles into fighting the Trojan War. Classic fridging. /end sarcasm.

[drmcninja]

Eh, Zero's hair is a bit too anime-ish. It doesn't quite fit in, I think.

I like the nod to the AC1 though, the car smash and all. Even got the pose right, and even to save Lois.

[milleniumrex]

This would bother me a lot more if the whole point of the Flashpoint universe didn't seem to be that almost everyone dies horribly.

[wizardru]

Motto. The thing about a 3-month alternate universe event is that they seem to feel obligated to kill as many identifiable characters as they can.

[glprime]

Woo! Gene Ha art!

An acquired taste for some, but every time I see his work, it's almost like having new Top 10 issues... Ah, I made myself sad :(

[icon_uk]

Agreed, though I really only count Top 10 if Alan Moore is writing it, the follow-ups have failed to grasp the same essence.

[wizardru]

Apropos of nothing, clever evoking of Action Comics #1, there.
