dc. let donna troy be unhinged you cowards. feminine rage is valid!!

theres only so much she can take before she just snaps

and tbh i think a lot of ppl would too

bc i definitely would

do it you cowards. and dont make it a “thing that gets solved by the next issue slash retcon”

[troythings]

yes evil donna

so true evil donna

Donna D:

[troythings]

ima say it

donna troy’s passion for photography is a creative expression. let it stay that way. this is her artsy, happy place away from all of her superhero stuff.

titans messed up big when they decided to make it an investigative journalism thing and now the comics are following it. for the record, i dont see her as that secret investigator type. sorry mfs, that only works when donna has a secret identity. and hers iirc is public.

im just saying let donna have a healthy work/life balance pls. she can have a life away from her titans career. not everything has to be used for the sake of “realism” and “grittiness”

[troythings]

unpopular opinion:

stop retconning donna’s origin.

if it starts out with the new 52-based (not exact) origin, with the false memories? keep it.

for the sake of continuity, keep it at this point. we dont need more confusion than we already have. nowadays the problem is people going “i don’t like this origin” “i don’t like that origin” “i think the origin for donna should be so and so” on and on and on

if there’s really no agreement on anything just say she’s diana’s sister. no further explanation. she’s diana’s sister, hippolyta’s daughter, she grew up on the island being trained by diana and then became wonder girl, founding member of the teen titans. one year later handled this pretty well:

we’ve got the basics: mirror clone, dark angel (and i think this is a good origin for dark angel too, no weirdass multiversal/counterpart bs, just say she was an enemy of hippolyta. probably in the days before themyscira. none of that time travel bs please), saved by diana in some capacity, titans of myth/amazon connection, and founding the teen titans.

and what happened after that? we got some of the most fulfilling pre52 donna content now that her origin was settled. wonder woman donna, donna in gail simone’s run, donna in the titans series, donna in blackest night and JLA. aaaaaaand then new 52 happened and now we’re back to square one because mfs are still arguing about origins. at this point if anyone has an origin preference for donna, just headcannon it.

like pls. lets move on already. as soon as the wonder woman office gets their act together, starts talking with the titans office, and stops shelving donna’s roles as wonder girl and diana’s sister in favor of yara and nubia respectively. but knowing dc, and how cash is king, thats probably never gonna happen!!!

at least we have headcannons.

recently i started watching MUGEN videos again and came back with a really big appreciation for the custom wonder woman sprite designed by loganir with voice clips from justice league heroes. showcase here:

it has everything!!! there’s like so much attention to detail here. the suplex move, the rucka armor, the screaming chicken armor, the spin transformation, the tiara throw, the invisible jet, and most of all diana’s supporting cast! philippus, artemis, cassie, and donna!!

DONNA

the sprite sheet and skins have more ww easter eggs in case it wasnt in the video!! also backstory screenshots!!

unfortunately this also made me think of the other fighting game wonder woman, the one in warner’s multiversus. note the difference in the design/composition

dceu-based model, dumb surface-level animation and horrible voice acting. the double standard strikes again. superman gets a dignified adaptation, meanwhile diana gets the gal gadot version because noooo henry cavill cringe!! hopefully the quotes aren’t as ba-

…yeah.

you can definitely tell who the target audience is.

this is so corporate and half-assed that it should hurt but hey im not surprised anymore. the fans do it better?? omg. who would’ve thought.

imo i think the biggest sin of wonder woman (2017) is that it’s not for the diana fans and it ruined her image. now we have to suffer the dceu wonder woman and all of the weirdos it brought in: people who don’t care for the source material at all and just want their gal gadot fix, the ww84 fans who think maxwell lord is a diana rogue, and the mouth-breathing wannabe comic readers who look at the azzarello amazon reproduction origin as a “gotcha” moment, and ofc wb cashing in because money’s all that matters

hopefully james gunn fully reboots this tomfoolery with paradise lost and we get a proper wonder woman lore in live action dc. he engages a lot with ww fans on twitter so im acc hopeful

i think we’re gonna be ok

hopefully

[troythings]

ykw?? if the rumors about gal being the dcu ww are true and in fact not copium fakes, then fine. let the general audience have their shitty live action mythos. as a comic fan i don’t care. we’ve waited years for a proper wonder woman adaptation after having that godawful softcore 70s show and the nbc pilot and still they messed it up with snyder’s casting and the movies completely butchering the lore.

if anything this shows that dc still doesn’t care about wonder woman as a character, it’s all about the money. gal is the same she’s nothing without her version of wonder woman so im honestly not surprised there if she’s lying.

“gal gadot gave wonder woman cultural impact”? lmao ok i guess being the ultimate superheroine, UN ambassador, face of ms. magazine and heart of the dc universe wasn’t enough for you live action brains. maybe it’s cultural impact to you because you were finally bothered to get invested in the lore when someone dangled the carrot in front of you

have fun getting locked out of comic lore for the next 10 years lol

[troythings]

will donna ever be free from the stain of titans (2018)

imagine pushing garthdonna on the new world’s finest spinoff when roy is there smfh

stop breaking history to serve the live action viewers, dc. they’re not going to bring in much. you can ignore the new things. god

[troythings]

being a donna troy fan sucks because there’s literally no regular content of her

and when something comes out, naturally we have to read it even if it turns out to be absolute dogshit and/or has triggering content

dc’s dangling the carrot and we’re all taking the bait

[troythings]

if the wonder woman (2009) movie ditched the “womanizing man vs radfem woman” dynamic between steve and diana it would’ve been a much better film. their relationship and contrasts should’ve been about their differences as ppl, not walking stereotypes. instead we had to get crap jokes (im not talking about unfunny jokes im actually saying there were excrement jokes in this movie), cringe lines like “its not polite to hit a lady” “you’re starting to sound like a woman” “how do you expect to defeat zeus if you can't even beat a girl” and also, this right here

lol.

lmao.

i get what they were trying to say, but there was no subtlety. aside from that the film is actually pretty good. the amazons’ backstory is intact and their motivations are pretty thought out, i liked how ares took the place of dooms doorway. there’s also the contest (!! my heart), hippolyta’s mirror and the invisible jet. u can def see gail simone’s influence here and love for the comic lore (unlike some people hmmmm) and i love that

also, hey wonder woman (2017)? ares doesn’t want to destroy humanity, that’s how he gets his power, from the wars and conflicts that humans start. this was in the perez arc, he doesn’t want us to nuke each other because he has nothing else to draw power from. it was also in this film. how could you mess that up lol

[troythings]

okay pussy we get it you’re a pearl clutching boomer

james gunn please dont tweak greek myths and the history of the amazons to western sensitivities!! we’re counting on you

[troythings]

bob haney is donna troy’s real daddy

not marv wolfman.

So I did my bit to keep the record straight on Donna’s history this week.

[troythings]

so i see ppl saying ice cream is diana’s favorite food buuuuuuuuut

iirc. that’s a new 52 thing. has it been used anywhere else before the 2011 relaunch??

me personally im for the “wonder woman’s favorite food is cake” agenda. if not cake then desserts and sweets in general. etta wouldve def introduced her.

anyway bring this back

[troythings]

sigh

i miss the old one

[troythings]

i dread the day when dc twitter comes here

[troythings]

so i feel like pseudo-reviewing/calling out the writing of “infected: deathbringer” because i’m that much of a masochist.

aaaaand here we go with part 1 of this torture fest:

yikes. so many things wrong with this narration. “many things to many people” and the last paragraph. we already knew he was going to infect her and we know who donna troy is. there is literally no need for this narration.

also i died inside when i opened this book up and saw that lineup of the titans. arghhh.

oh god. this entire page is an example of what not to do with “show vs. tell.” so much unnecessary exposition. those gigantic speech bubbles. god, nobody talks in paragraphs. it could be a fault of the script, but still. that’s on quinn.

“a bad guy i can punch” is possibly the most pathetic attempt at writing a superhero ever. that’s what it is. an attempt.

and this characterization of donna is just atrocious. i dont ever see her being secretly violent and angsty in a situation where she is supposed to be professional. i believe she would put on a strong face to show respect, and then sort herself out on private. case in point:

god. it feels almost insulting to include the real donna next to the out-of-character monstrosity that is this comic. things haven’t been good for her since 2016.

why is this version of donna comparing herself to people all the time? for that matter, what writer thinks it’s a good idea to hold up this idea of donna feeling inadequate, especially when compared to diana? the idea is that they’re both heroines in their own right. new 52 donna at least fixes this comparison problem by finding her own identity separate from diana. this one feels like a reversal.

and also: why is the titans annual origin shoved in our faces all the time? is this just a fault of donna and titans storylines, which always seem to focus on her origins? we know this version of her is a weapon. get over it already.

why is donna using a molotov cocktail. that’s so out of character. why.

is this implying that donna got angry and beat someone - a civilian - up? again, not professional. this would make sense if the infection was slow-acting, thus explaining her ooc moments here but that’s not the case.

continued here since im on mobile

[troythings]

man, they are just going to keep milking that electricity thing with donna now, huh?

never expected donna troy, in all her cosmic glory, to be negated to the role of “girl ded by electricity but not anymore hehe hehe ww84 good”

what an absolute stain on her legacy.
