RIP, Openly Gay Xena: Warrior Princess Reboot

amuseoffyre:

😦

The cancellation also comes at a time when the world needs strong female and LGBTQ representation more than ever. Xena, like Wonder Woman, is much more than a sexy, sword-wielding heroine. The original show was beloved for its emphasis on female strength and friendship. While it did receive criticism for unwillingness to be open about the nature of Xena and Gabrielle’s relationship, 2017’s reboot was expected to be out and proud.

RIP, Openly Gay Xena: Warrior Princess Reboot

I want to die.

That phraseĀ ā€œwhat’s her damageā€ is what really scares me here

IE he thinks he’s gotta damage her to make her Batgirl because he has literally zero concept of who Barbara Gordon is as a person

IE we’re probably gonna have to see Babs put through some act of extreme violence (oh god please don’t let it be sexual violence PLEASE) to traumatize her into becoming Batgirl

Seriously what is wrong with her dressing like Batman for a party just to piss off her dad and winding up stopping a coupla supervillains and deciding to keep doing it because this shit’s awesome and no, Batman, you don’t get to tell her to stop, you don’t get to tell her ANYTHING because she’s not your sidekick

Lil Dick Grayson making heart eyes in the background the whole time

Seriously Joss there is nothing wrong with that concept, you can make a woman into a badass without damaging her first

I don’t know anything about Batgirl and this sounds awful

Keep Joss Whedon away from all women, and especially young women.

What’s Joss Whedon’s ā€œdamageā€? :/

Someone get @patrickatĀ a microphone and put them in front of Joss Whedon please, I wanna see him get asked this.Ā 

Honestly this is exactly the kind of thing I expected when they announced Whedon was involved with Batgirl, and I’m still so mad

@theminipickle

Whedon’s own backstory is more like that of a villain – abuses, cheats on, gaslights his ex, takes advantage of young women in his employ – and gets away with it for years, maintaining his profitable public brand of Male Hero Feminist.

If it were a movie, all the women he’s taken advantage of would rise up to form their own superhero brigade to topple his hypocritical empire. Ā

I wanna write a Clexa Jumanji AU where Lexa is the lil nerd who gets picked on who has a crush on the pretty blonde popular girl and they find the board game and Lexa gets sucked inside
Then years later Clarke dyed her hair red and was the resident crazy girl for screamimg about how little Lexa Woods was sucked into a board game but started doing art therapy and finally moving on, and then Raven, one of her former clients, and her bff Octavia find the board game and draw Lexa out, and Lexa is this wild-haired badass Commander with hella sword skills from living on her own in the wild for so long, and they find Clarke and try to finish the game
And things like giant pissed off gorillas, acid fog, panthers, etc come out of the game, including the notorious ice queen intent on murdering Lexa
And Clexa bicker and fight but totally fall in love of course

Plot twist: instead of Raven and Octavia finding the board, it’s little Aden and Madi…

Well, this needs to happen. Ā
