Have I mentioned that I love it when capes interact with normies? TV interviews like this are a real treat for me. If anyone knows of anything similar, a link would be much appreciated.

It's always sad to see someone commit suicide.

I still think Queen Bee wasn't behind the attack, since she let Adom get within arms reach of her before panicking when confronted with actual consequences for her previous asshattery and getting herself offed.
 
*sniff* It's everything I could've hoped it would be. *wipes away tear of happiness* Thank you Darwin. Not good enough to win the award, but easily worth an honorable mention. Always entertaining to hear about ignoramuses getting themselves killed.

Well that was no surprising.

Course I can imagine the international reaction to this can be very mixed.

Thank you, corrected.
I'm of the opinion that this should be gotten. I can understand it being "got" if that's in your personal vernacular, but "gotten" feels more right to me.

You're probably right, but that's how I'd say it.
P.p.s. With OL on site, it's entirely possible that Queen Bee survived being torn in half. But seeing as he'd have to want to heal her, I can't see that being very likely.

You can safely assume that she's dead.

Some corrections made.
 
Goodbye Beena, we'll miss your mix of cunning craftiness and utter, lethal stupidity. If only the second in line for the throne wasn't Worst Girl, maybe this would be even slightly a good thing.

"Mister Miracle and I went over the city with a fine tooth comb. We think they use a form of spatial portal called a hush tube, but unfortunately we can't tell where it came from. They just don't leave enough of a trace. We built a detection system so that hopefully whoever it was won't be try it again, but we don't currently have any way to stop it."

Should be "trying"

He immediately blamed the government and headed to Cairo, where he single-handedly killed every member of it he could find, as well as a substantial number of military personnel.

Queen Bee just has shit luck with the whole 'survival' thing doensnt she?

No, she was just stupid. Heros just give you a thump and drop you back on your side of the border if you're the villainous ruler of a country. Well, modern heroes do. As Firebrand pointed out to her: they didn't play that shit back in the All Star Squadron days. She got used to there not being consequences and forgot that it only works when you're dealing with heroes.

Grayven is not a hero. He's an Apokoliptian god. Their view of the situation would be that he was unreasonably kind to let her off with just a death threat if she tried it again, possibly he thought she had potential he could nurture, and that her death was entirely just.

Teth Adom isn't a hero. He's a King who happens to have superpowers. You know what happens if you try to mind control a king, or any other head of state for that matter? You get dead real damn quick. Hell, that could be argued in court as justifiable homicide and with a good lawyer he could pull it off.
 
Well then. 0.o

If there's anyone in the WTR-verse that have been feeling a bit nervous about the danger of super powered types as a whole I feel that Teth Adom provides them with a perfect example to point to try and justify their views to others. Sure, we know that Teth's a good guy from reading the story, but if you think about it from the perspective of someone off the street, if a hero could do THIS what could someone like Superman do if he ever went bad?
 
While more informative I can't help but notice the back and forth between Paul and the reporter seems stilted much like an earlier chapter between Paul and some christian(?) woman.

There's no description of movement or personal thoughts halfway through, it just becomes raw input and output.

I'm a bit disappointed in Bee, I thought she would be smarter then her canon counterpart.
Seems successfully running a country doesn't translate to being an intelligent supervillian.

I nod. "Yes. Queen Beena had a podium set up. I think she was expecting to do the normal press conference thing before the meeting. Adom decided to start the actual meat of the discussion there instead. He shared a number of details about Bialya's actions that hadn't been made public…" I'm not quite sure how to finish this bit. "He'd been declaiming solidly for about three minutes when he suddenly stopped. Queen Beena is a metahuman.

Guess that means the little sister inherits, wonder how the meeting between her and Adom will go?

Wait, doesn't that mean now that she's gone OL's naked statue will finally come to international light?

I don't know about that, she was pretty hot after all.
 
Mr Zoat said:
Adom snarls. "You are in no place to make demands of me! You will tell your mistress that Princess Diana of Themyscira is coming, and you will tell her that if I detect even the slightest attempt at trickery then it will not take an invasion to remove her from power. No, I will kill the witch immediately myself."

Heh. Supervillains. Playing stupid games, winning stupid prizes.

It may have been for the miniature cliff hanger, but Paul used 'is' when referring to Beeana. Present tense. That suggests she's still alive.

That does me give me an amusing image of OL promptly sticking her torn halves together and restarting the negotiations from a somewhat less neutral stance with a really twitchy Queen Bee.

Welp, time to bring in Constantine... oh wait. Bee's likely gone Below for her actions in life, which would make necromancy somewhat... difficult. Esp. if the Demon Constantine spots what John's doing and decides to tag along...

Hah, bit of a burn for Grayven.

Not a TV interview, but there's this really good story about interviewing a villain. The site went down recently but there's still archive snapshots.
 
One last one I just spotted:
Mr Zoat said:
"The ritual Doctor Adam used to call his soul back essentially converted him to the ancient Kahndaqi religion. And it turns out that their gods don't necessarily wait until you're dead to judge you. Once they became aware of the situation, they dragged Doctor Adam off for punishment and gave Teth Adam his former body."

Careful with the names, Paul.
 
I really don't understand why everyone is jumping on the bandwagon that Beebee is dead. He's got a power ring and he didn't get his answers yet. She doesn't have Paul's permission to die.

Never mind! I somehow missed Zoat's post.
