What the heck was wrong with writer's back then?
Well, Im glad we finally got back to basics with The Big Picture. This episode was great.

Your already covered this at the end of the episode but rape, attempted rape or any permination of that entire theme is really the third big storyline when it comes to female characters in pretty much all forms of fiction.
Damn you and your cliffhangers!
Good episode. I'd read about this storyline before a while back but I must've missed a few of the details since it's only now I realise how creepy and fucked up it really was.
But... it's female characters in superhero comics, and with the rare exception when they get a brilliant creative team, I'm so accustomed to them being written dreadfully it barely even registers unless they really overdo it (why hello, DC reboot!)

Wait... so after she gave birth to her son/ lover, she carry on the relationship with the son/lower????
I take it the readers were too confused by the ordeal to actually be offended to form an angry mob during that time.
While I do know what happen to her next but I don't know how she got back as a mainstream character so I will be looking forward to next week.

OK, couple of things about this video:
1. Goddamnit, Bob, your show is called "The Big Picture". TALK ABOUT BIG PICTURE STUFF. I mean, a comics episode is fine every now and then, but come on! The only reason it's been so long since you did a comics episode is that you spent the whole month of October talking about bad sci-fi movies, which is BASICALLY THE SAME GODDAMN THING. Please, just...Talk about things that actually matter more often. You're good at it.
2. I swear if I hear that motherfucking "COMICS ARE WEIRD" bit ONE MORE TIME I WILL probably just press the mute button like I did in this video. Seriously though, please stop. It's really annoying.

Sometimes I get the impression that comic book writers had and still have been hanging backwards in time.
While the world was in the 80s, they were apparently still in the 50s.
Makes me wonder where they are today while we are in the 21ths century.

There's also the matter of stuffing them in fridges... Ie. killing them just to get at someone else.Orcboyphil said:
The site that coined the term "Women in Refrigerators" is here: http://www.unheardtaunts.com/wir/
Its basically a list of horrible stuff writers put their female characters through in comic books. Take a look at this one: All of Savage Dragon's girlfriends (dead)
There's some good stuff out there though. But maybe that's because the writers are women (Gail Simone's Birds of Prey, she made the site above)... or gay (Marc Andreyko's Manhunter)...
