[OOC] CLOSED - Ultimate One Universe: Season One

[mickilennial]

Yeah, Lois is pretty important though I always do like to play around with the idea "What if Lana was consistent and stayed in Clark's life?". My Superman incarnation was going to play around with that idea, but it never came to be.

Not everything for me boils down to a sex scene.

Geez, you write one sex scene and you're typecast lol

[Retired]

In Smallville? Lana.
In every other media? Lois.

As for sex scenes, I can do that, too, with Blue Devil.
Two beings, one body. Peak hormonal age. It practically writes itself...

[Lord Wraith]

In Smallvile? Lana.

Really? Why?

@Lord Wraith

Think about it: The aftermath of your sex scene is about seventy pages of OOC chatter.

@Lord Wraith

Fundamentally, though, doesn't everything boil down to a sex scene, when you really think about it?

@Nightrunner

So what you're saying is that despite all the active posters in the IC, it's my one little sex scene that's keeping this RP afloat.

I like it.

@AndyC

None of this would have been possible without a sex scene.

I always liked having Lana around as Clark's inner city confidant prior to him revealing his identity to Lois, ala Superman TAS. But Lois is one of the best supporting characters in comics, in my opinion.

Infact, UOU Clark better watch out. I could have her see the benefits of having a billionaire schizophrenic martial artist vigilante to come home to...

Lois' characterization in Smallville was awkward at times, and they leaned too far towards the abrasive angle that it went past the classic spit-fire, inquisitive woman and was just annoying. She had her moments, sure, and the teasing could be fun at times, but her character in that show was always the lesser of the two.

Lana, meanwhile, despite early on being the cliche damsel in distress, quickly developed into a more unique and fleshed out character. And even though they fucked that up for a season with the whole Lex thing, that just made me more sympathetic to what could have been done better had they not gone down that route. And in her final season's appearance, she was much more interesting and compelling than Lois. And had they not been committed to the Lois angle by that point, would have made a better happy ending for Clark, in my opinion. They made it very clear at the end there that she was the real love of Clark's heart.

Also, Erica Durance isn't that great an actress.

Ugh. That's something I genuinely hated about the DCAU. The blatant favoritism towards the Bat-family was bad enough in fight scenes, but then Bruce also has to become Mr. Steal-Yo-Girl when it comes to the most famous romance in the entire genre. Like there weren't enough ladies in the series hankerin' for a chance to slide down the Bat-Pole.

Listen, Batman being gay would not be out of the question. he's definitely working through some deeply repressed issues with his own identity

Just ask Grant Morrison. I mean, when he's not stoned out of his mind and rambling on about multiversal chaos-magick or whateverthefuck. Which is basically never, so......never mind, don't ask Grant Morrison.

Bruce Timm always was a bit of an uneven writer, honestly. Without Dini it became all the more apparent that he leant on Batman’s superpower of making everyone in the same room as him suddenly stupid and incompetent whilst every woman simply wanted him without significant cause. His relationships in Justice League were just horrid and very poorly written.
