started classic dr who today and i love the implication that the doctor's companions taught them the value of risking their own neck to save people and worlds, rather than the doctor having always been the reckless saviour we see in nuwho. apparently it really was humans who made the doctor humane; no wonder he loves earth so much when its people are the ones who shaped him
I saw a post in the My Adventures with Superman tag claiming that Lois "finally" has a character. I really like the show and it's version of Lois too, but I want to make this clear: Lois Lane has been around for over 80 years and she's always been a distinct, dynamic character with a lot going for her, every bit as admirable as Superman. This isn't a new thing!
Like any character Lois has had some bad adaptations, but she's been a great character from the beginning, and I wanted to show off some panels from comics over the years so anyone new to Superman lore can see why she's a beloved character and the MAWS portrayal is building on that, not starting from scratch.
Lois in the golden age comics (1939 through the 1940's) was shown to be a career-driven woman who didn't take shit from anyone. This was an era where a lot of women were entering the workforce because men were serving in WWII and there was excitement and change in the air, and Lois was meant to be a reflection of that. She fought against the sexism of her boss sticking her with the advice and gossip columns because she was a woman, and she was go-getting reporter out to get a real story. From the beginning she was fearless (sometimes reckless), driven, and had no patience for Clark Kent's (feigned) cowardice (and was always full of sick burns). She never let anyone push her around.
And she's been pretty consistently like this her entire run as a character. Of course, there were some bad writers, and there was a time in the 50s when all female characters had to be marriage obsessed (Lois wasn't the only one hit with this, Wonder Woman was too), but she reverted back to her firebrand self in the 60's and 70's, and when the 80's came along, characters started getting more filled in backstories, including her- this was where we started seeing stuff about her home life, her childhood moving around as a military brat, and her troubled relationship with her father and sister. She had an interior life, inner conflict- and she still kicked ass and always got the last word in. As someone invested in journalism, she is THE coolest fictional journalist to me.
This was also when comics started focusing on Clark being who Superman WAS rather than a pure act, and we got to see their relationship really grow and Lois fall for Clark, not Superman. So here, have some panels of Lois being great and see the scope of her own personality.
Lois also has lots fun little quirks and hobbies comics readers know about- she takes her coffee a certain way, she doesn't cook much because she's so on the go (so Clark is the one who cooks in the fam), she likes to sit on Clark's desk when they're talking (this happens in other Superman media too), she REALLY likes monster trucks and Clark REALLY doesn't but will support her anyway:
Also, she's always seen through to who Clark really is:
Anyway. Have more of my favorite Lois panels because I have a lot:
My goal is to get this to as many notes on this post as that post saying 'she finally has a character' had. Roughly 3000 to go! Spread the Lois awareness! And here are more panels I like under the cut!
I used to collect these back in the day.
I hope everyone reblogging this knows it’s canon

King shit, honestly. I should read Green Arrow
If you want a reading list, we’re happy to give you one!
Eh he still reads like White Guy Who Thinks He Knows to me half the time since I read him as a kid. And even with this I was a bit “Oh so you’ll be mayor for the gays but not spend your billions also helping them legally be married all over the country? How about governor? Or campaigning for them as Green Arrow?
IDK Green Arrow writers maybe he’s saving the fucking world from aliens and space from other aliens while Green Arrow yells at him about how much the homeless need homes.
But doesn’t do a fucking thing about it himself as Oliver Queen
I mean it’s worth noting that Ollie is NOT rich for the vast majority of his publication history. During the O’Neil era (that panel you added) he literally can’t afford bus fare and is still giving away his last dollar to those he feels need it more than him. Throughout the Grell era he works retail. This is not a man of means, and if you truly believe he is either you didn’t read the comics you’re sharing panels from or you just believed someone who lied to you.
Ollie also actually does quite a lot as Oliver Queen when he does have money, such as funding and running a youth center to protect homeless youth, working against police violence, and actually like involving himself in his community and the politics of his community.
We also see him acting as a friend to the queer community during the AIDS crisis in the Grell run- going after a gang whose initiation involves homophobic hate crimes and being someone that gay people feel safe enough to be open with and out to. His well known care for the queer community being a plot point in Green Arrow: Quiver even.
Maybe read some Green Arrow comics and you’ll calm down.
design stuff for a short film thingy I’m (slowly) working on, plus early designs for Erika!
Thing I did months ago. Here are her old designs. I’d say I’d improved quite a bit.
