Did Donna have a retarded ott feminist moment in comics recently, or something? I mean, it's not bad but just... apropos of nothing?
It ended, which make it the perfect time

Could we not do this, with the passive-aggressive criticisms, please? If you want to give a critical review, go for it, but leave out the passive-aggressiveness, because all that does is annoy me and possibly Zoat as well.
Also, seriously? Of all the morally-questionable things Grayven has done, overthrowing a government that's 90% pedophilic demon-summoning rapists is what's got your goat? Is this really the hill you want to die on?

Also, this is one of the better "religions are bad at religion" scenes I've seen. Don't get me wrong, it can work on a small scale, but as an atheist it's nice to see someone just tear into the Abrahamic faiths from time to time.
Ah, the art of misdirection. Mentions someone's dangly bits from time to time and they'll never be able to challenge you properly.
Damn. If it was, life would be sooooooo much easier.
"As an actual God, can you tell us what relation angels have to the Source?"
"Fuck all, why?"
"Now that we've had an actual divine being tell us what's up, can we leave this debate to die and get back to the archano-technological revolution?"
"That's not how that works!"

Really? Someone she's just coworkers with decided to talk about her, to use T0PH4T's term, dangly bits and you think her reaction is the result of feminism? Honestly, if superheroes worked like real life companies, I'm pretty sure OL's joke could qualify as sexual harassment.
I imagine the goal with that and other aspects of this update was to once more point out how the "functional insanity" required for being a good lantern plus orange enlightenment has eroded OL's ability to understand and employ social mores.

Okay, do you have a girlfriend? Because I feel like you wouldn't be typing this if you did.
Or like...any regular polite interaction with a female?

screw you too, captain underpants >.>
your slow, cautious approach canonically FAILS if you try it, and you and the rest of the league were sitting around doing NOTHING whilst they were TORTURING PEOPLE.
..Kal-El was the last person i expected to leave people to die because it -might- inconvenience HIM....

Thanks for the answer
I think his issue was more with "jeopardizing the relationship between all supers and the governments of the world"
Note how the Anit-Superman hit squad doesn't faze him at all.
Did you miss the part where Zoat clarified that if Grayven had given him a weeks time to prep, he would have been right there helping him?

What is with all the superman hate? Sure I'm glad grayven got them all but it seems completely fine for superman to be concerned about the "alien god of conquest" overthrowing any country let alone Britain.
And is there any evidence superman knew about the stuff in Britain? Considering the weakness to magic and the fact the bad guys probably warded their stuff?
And had batman even shown the rest of the league the evidence yet? He was expecting something in a month so maybe he wanted to check it himself before telling anyone.
It just seems that a lot of people in the thread are just going "he questioned paul/grayven and has concerns! That bastard! I hate him now!".
Just... calm down a bit.
Just before we move on. Does everyone here agree that Superman acted slightly OC defending Demon Worshiping pedophile slavers because muh poltics?

Not really, given that Superman's justifiably worried about other nations panicking and starting to throw out nuclear missiles indiscriminately in Grayven's general direction. I get the feeling that Supes didn't object to what Grayven was stopping, just the manner in which he did it.

Donna had a good point about how the nature of "God" and its relationship to Heaven isn't common knowledge. But then again, most people probably wouldn't view that knowledge as anything but "an interpretation", so who knows how much the publication of that knowledge would actually change about the (religious) public's reaction.
This was a sort of a Featureless Plane of Disembodied Dialogue moment. I get that Donna was engrossed in the conversation, but if this was her first time there... Or maybe the entrance really is that featureless.

Hmm... would Paul have given actual underwear, or perhaps a gift card, or better, an appointment for getting custom underwear made?
I would imagine a gift card would have been easier and less contentious; then again given a power ring, perhaps he'd go with armoured underwear?

This is OL; for him anything worth doing is worth overdoing. He'd give her the most over-the-top bra ever created. Orichalcum-reinforced, force field padding for comfort, antigravity support, and both lead-shielded & scry-warded against voyeuristic wizards and/or Kryptonians.

I think that any and every situation involving people who dress up in spandex to fight crime with superpowers requires a degree of understanding that these people are not stable. Generally speaking, you absolutely should not make sexual comments about your coworkers at work, and this falls into that situation. Just because we're seeing things from Pavlos' perspective doesn't make what he's doing right.
And yes, I highly doubt OL's understanding of the social landscape is anything approaching Earth standard. Remember, he's not only an Orange Ring user who got possessed by the Ophidian, he also just spent a few months on literally alien worlds where he gave a spider a handjob by accident and spent a few weeks on a planet where people are universally attractive and the local attire is swimwear.
I think it's understandable that his sense of normal is borked.
I'm almost certain Superman doesn't know almost anything about what Britain's been doing. Part of that is the magic wards, and part of that is Batman knowing that if Supes did know, he'd do something stupid like try to bring in the entire Parliament to the UN for a fair and just trial (which wouldn't work). I also suspect that Batman doesn't know, which means the League as a whole doesn't. Grayven put the files in public domain, yes, but until Superman spends some time reviewing them all he sees is Grayven (a known murderer with a penchant for megalomania that happens to be on the side of the angels) overthrowing a seemingly-legitimate developed nation.
Again, Grayven only got this far because he knew where to look. Once the League learns, they'll be much more willing to hear Grayven out, if not openly support him.
Also, we see God!Green Arrow do God things when? Because I really want to see him challenge Celestial Archer to round two and things to escalate from "shoot the target a few miles away" to "shoot the target on the moon, on Mars, and on the other side of the world with the same arrow."

It's a bit complicated because he probably regards her as a friend as well as a coworker; especially given how he has to make a point of getting "invested" in the people he associates with. And the rules are different for friends than coworkers.
That said, it's generally best to avoid making even vaguely sexual jokes as a man to a woman, given how sensitive women can be on the issue and how men usually don't have a good intuition of where the line is even when their brains aren't marinating in orange light.

Thank you, corrected.
No, that one is correct.
It's a perfect size for me. Anyone else having problems with it?
