[comics] where have you gone, Mary Marvel?

[glossing]

I think there's a lot that I could say about legacy characters' difficult integration into other narrative universes, and gratuitous character arcs where interesting=bartending in the dark, not to mention a feminist observation about power making women into dominatrices. Instead, I'll just offer a couple scans.

My only problem with Mary femmeslash is that I can't see her having sex with anyone, ever, without my brain breaking. Well, except now, in the leather...]

I also enjoy how Mary basically looks like she's playing Babalu on Lex Luthor's that guy's butt. And rather enjoying it.

[glossing]

Well, it'd be PG-rated snuggly girlslash, I'm sure. *g*

She's ROCKING OUT on that guy. I love her.

You know, it occurs to me that there should really be a Marvel Family ficathon, becuase there really needs to be not only more fic for them, but more sexin' as well. Extra points if it includes Tawky Tawny. (Okay, I just grossed myself out.)

[glossing]

OHHHHH. I'd love a Marvel famathon! Freddy is *hot* in his purple suit and jaunty scarf, you know? Maybe after furymadeusdoit?

There should be a line for characters you won't porn up; I'd put Tawky and Uncle Marvel. And any and all Sivanas.

You know, I think that really the best thing DC can do by the Marvels is to *give them Earth-S*. They've had some decent arcs in the DCU proper, sure, but *none* of them fit in well there.

(And I'm totally mourning the transformation of Mr. Mind over here, too, for the record. Mr. Mind = cool because he's a tiny little evil worm with a radio and glasses. Transforming him into a big ugly monster = NOT SO MUCH WITH THE COOL.)

And DC *has* an Earth-S (well, an Earth-5) now, thanks to Mr. Mind going all crunchy, so I think they should get on that already!

[glossing]

Oh, man, I know! Right there with you on the Earth-S.

I think I was kind of okay with 52's Mr. Mind because...well, it was a nice homage that upped the scary quotient on the Monster Society of Evil. But now that I've been reading more from the Fawcett era, I can see your point. He was so wee! And evil!

I just read a story where Captain Marvel, for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, became a Nazi. And I daydreamed about Steve & Bucky having to take him down and deprogram him. <3

BEST CROSSOVER EVER.

Only problem: Billy would then become Bucky's effusive lil buddy and Toro would be SAD. ;)

Any time I get Fire/Mary Marvel in my brain is a good but perplexed time. I just posted virgin-debauching a couple of times in a row; I feel I should hold off a bit.

[glossing]

Suffering Sappho! For the love all that's good and sunny, if you ever do write Bea/Mary (and I love them like WHOA), please don't debauch Mary? Please? *puppy*

[petronelle]

But it would be so good for her.

Fire/Mary/coffee OT3!

Basically, the problem with Miss Marvel porn:

"Oh golly! Oh golly, harder!"

[glossing]

This is very true.

[glossing]

I'm more than a little tetchy on this subject.
I'm sorry that I seem to have inadvertently poked you.

There's a collection of addresses here, I think.
