Yeah, it had to be said.

well, Sasha said that using cutesy terms is demeaning and endearing, two qualities that can't quite work together.ChewyChewy wrote:Specifically "You just contradicted yourself, dear" and "I'd explain but apparently I set unrealistic standards for intelligence".

the unrealistic standards for intelligence is referring to the fact that Sasha doesn't know how Duchess can tell the difference between male and female dogs, a way which is quite obvious, but can't quite be mentioned in a PG comic.

The funny thing is, while that would normally be obvious, it is not obvious to us with most of the character designs in the comic. For example, think about Grape!

yeah, but the implication that, in their world, it's somewhat obvious (what Duchess said and Grape wondering how Peanut didn't know she was a girl when they're naked all the time) is still there. so it while gender isn't that obvious to us, we still know that it should be obvious to them.Buckdida wrote:The funny thing is, while that would normally be obvious, it is not obvious to us with most of the character designs in the comic.

Hence the fleeing. Couldn't help it sorry.You mean hinting at a clichéd reference isn't as good as bludgeoning people with a clichéd reference?
Yes, but...Grape's a CAT. Rick has a thing for gender ambiguity of cats in his comic: Grape, Fiddler and Keys, the Mr. Bigglesworths....Buckdida wrote:The funny thing is, while that would normally be obvious, it is not obvious to us with most of the character designs in the comic.

She is right about "feminism being for humans", though, as with canines there is practically no difference at all. They even have separate male and female hierarchies in a wolf pack.

No, no it didn't. If DC could have just been okay with a multiverse everything would have been fine.IceKitsune wrote: silly comic reboots you are so stupid (except for maybe the original crisis which at the time really needed to happen)
Oh please Superman alone needed that reboot he was completely ridiculous at the time, there was no way to really fix him power wise except maybe kill him and bring him back but that would have been unlikely as he was basically a god who could do anything he wanted.Indagare wrote:No, no it didn't.

This is what they should do and yes, yes they are.rickgriffin wrote:Or, if they had a finale and started over, as in actually started over instead of have an out where they sorta loosely tie everything back in. I mean, that's what they do with their cartoon series, which as far as I'm concerned, are almost all put together much better than the comics universe.
I believe DC is doing a multiverse-wide reboot. I think it's DC? I'm not sure. I'm not big on comics either.copper wrote:Hmm.

I am sure it was funny.
DC is doing some sort of semi-reboot thing where all the big named characters (and all of the smaller named ones too I think) origins will be rebooted and retold and some of there previous canon will be gotten rid of (but not all of it which is what this comic is talking about) and they will continue from there telling stories. Of course none of this will work right and every thing will end up being a complete mess, due to writers not talking to each other about whats canon and what not; plus editors messing with stuff as well, and in a year to a year and a half they will need to do yet another reboot style thing to fix it.Sleet wrote:I believe DC is doing a multiverse-wide reboot.
