Gail Simone's Blog, page 99

Do you think DC would ever considering making Wonder Woman bisexual? as if you think about it with her background and her constantly pushing the limits for equality for all it would make total sense if they ever did.

Well, it’s a DISTINCT POSSIBILITY (they already did it).

Say you're voting AGAINST Trump, that's fine. But you can't in good conscience vote FOR Hillary.

Thanks, anon dude! So helpful!

Just finished issue 6 of Surviving Megalopolis, are there plans for another installment in the Megalopolis world?

THERE ARE!

Hope you enjoyed it, that last issue, Jim KILLED on it.

would you ever do a superman 64 let's play for charity? all procedes would go to you, for playing superman 64.

Isn’t that supposed to be one of the worst games ever?

Greg Rucka just confirmed that Wonder Woman is canonically queer! What are your thoughts on that?

I’m glad it happened and I support Greg 100%, but at the same time, this isn’t exactly news. A lot of us said as much in our runs in a lot of different ways.

But it’s a big, cool deal to have it explicitly said in canon.

what did you think about the first presidential debate?

I found it very revealing. If people are still thinking Donald Trump is presidential, they are deluding themselves at this point.

Is Clean Room aimed at women and men, or mostly women?

It’s aimed at everyone. It just includes women in a way that most speculative thrillers do not.

Are you religious?

No, I am an atheist. But I don’t judge others for disagreeing.

gayemoprincess:

always found it funny that people would say that a woman couldn’t be president because women are “too emotional” and i just watched a fried chicken cry on stage for 90 minutes

gogoboywonder:I miss this take on Dinah and Ollie - the one...

gogoboywonder:

I miss this take on Dinah and Ollie - the one where she’s grown and moved past him and made her peace with everything. Of course she still loves him, because he did mean a lot to her, and they had been through a lot together. At the same time, she’d grown past it. She loved him, but she wasn’t in love with him anymore. It was great character development and a wonderful way for Dinah to kind of complete the journey that Gail Simone had started for her when she took over writing duties on Birds of Prey. No more being kidnapped, no more being gagged, one of the world’s finest martial artists, a superhero in her own right. She was the bad-ass she was always meant to be. 

And then the writers did away with all of it, because suddenly in Green Arrow/Black Canary, Dinah’s easily apprehended by a street thug and can’t find her way out of it. Dinah hasn’t been the same since then, no matter how much they change up continuity. It’s sad, because she’d finally realized her potential. She’d finally lived up to it, only to have it all taken away by people nostalgic for the past…none of which worked out well.
