Eh, I would've liked it more if the singer wasn't high-pitched sounding. That needed an awesome deep voice.

I'm glad I decided to connect Sparky to the Nonary Project. I initially had some mysterious unnamed organization that tried to capture Phi and Luna, and later came up with "Nonary" to have similarities to the Zero Escape games.
Sparky was the cherry on the top on how they were able to use such advanced technology.

Arche glanced over at Phi, who simply had her arms crossed and eyes closed. She was quiet; well, more quiet than she usually was.
"What is it?" Arche asked her.
"It's just that... I almost forgot about that war," She responded.
"Wait, you were actually there?" He wondered.
She shook her head, "No, but Luna was. She used to tell me stories about what went on during that war. I think she knew Sparky, personally."
"W-What?!" This caught him off-guard.
The rest of the group became silent as Phi spoke.
"I think you have an audience," Arche smirked.
"Perfect," Phi said sarcastically and sighed, "Anyway, I don't actually know the specifics of their relationship. She never told me much about it, but there was one frightening detail she discovered about Sparky."
Everyone leaned in closer, almost in unison.
"He was a benefactor for the Nonary Project. The group that imprisoned Luna and I."
Arche's eyes widened.
"Why were you imprisoned? And is this Luna person your sister or something?" Asch replied.
"Yes, though she passed away a while ago."
"Oh, I'm sorry about that..." Asch said sadly.
She nodded, "We were imprisoned because of our Morphogenetic abilities. To this day, I'm not completely sure why they captured us. I can only imagine it was to somehow harvest that ability. For that, they chased us down like animals..."
"That's terrible," Asch sighed.
"Luna discovered that Sparky helped fund the Nonary group, and she escaped from his castle immediately. She described seeing a tall man with glasses in a black suit inside Sparky's throne room. She was able to hide somewhere, and that's when she heard about their business arrangements." Phi said quietly.
Arche spoke up, "Luna told me about the brutal experiments you two went through. So the machines and equipment that they used... were Sparkvanian."
Phi nodded, "I can only assume so. At least most of them."
"But, something doesn't make sense here," Kit chimed in, "Business deals are often two-sided; you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. Sparky funded the Nonary group and supplied them with resources, but what did the Nonary group do for Sparky?"
Asch nodded, "Yeah, if anything, it seems that the Nonary group benefited far more than Sparky did."
Phi sighed, "Unfortunately, I haven't the slightest clue on how the Nonary Project effected his goals. Whatever it was, it sure as hell couldn't be minor. In some shape or form, he needed them. I have a feeling Luna knew more than what she was telling me, but didn't say it to protect me."
"I had no idea. Through all the years we've been together, she never mentioned Sparky," Arche said.
"The past is the past. She probably didn't want you to worry about something that was behind her. I still remember her face as she told me about Sparky; she was distraught. It's a time she doesn't like to remember," Phi responded.
Kit tightened her fists, "The more I hear about this guy, the more sickening he becomes!"
"Yeah, it's kind of frightening how much influence he's had on all these people. PBPB, Vixy, Zeta, Luna, Mimi... also, with him being a benefactor of the Nonary Project, he's effected Phi, as well. And I'm sure that's only the tip of the iceberg of lives he's ruined," Asch sighed.

« on: July 30, 2014, 07:55:57 AM »Yeah, I saw this. And it's ridiculous. It's a poster for the Australian release of the film. People making a big deal out of this shows that people will make a big deal over anything.
Yep, pretty much this.
Because it looks like [parasitic bomb]? The composition is bad, the layout is bad, the focus is bad, the explosion is bad, and aesthetically... it's just unappealing. It's a bad movie poster.
So basically, your average American poster.
But in all seriousness, is it still "Too soon"? Its been 13 years, after all.
For those who lost loved ones on that day, they'll live with that pain for the rest of their lives.
Than there are those that didn't, but they're still very sensitive to that subject. Most people are probably like us, where while it's tragic to remember, we don't make much of a big deal of it. But you can fully expect others to.
Hell, I'm sure there are people that think JFK's assassination is "too soon".

« on: July 30, 2014, 07:38:40 AM »Which is why her new outfit makes that much more sense. That was my point. It actually looks more Amazonian. Still loose, like depicted in most history, but actually has some semblance of battle attire. It doesn't just look like the standard one-piece bikini anymore.
I can see where you're coming from. While there isn't much of a difference between the two, though, the skirt does enhance the Amazonian image.
(click to show/hide)
Anyway, I think this whole subject has gotten old at this point.
You bring up valid points, and everyone's entitled to their opinion, just that I think the components of her classic outfit still looks like a form of battle attire. Especially since the torso and chest parts seem to be metal-plated in both new and old.
In other news, some people are in uproar over this poster. Can you guys figure out why?

« on: July 29, 2014, 09:53:41 PM »It makes no sense because the concept of putting on a star-spangled one piece bikini with boots to alleviate fears of an outsider is silly. She already has Trevor, a pilot/soldier, to vouch for her. Like Superman, her heroic deeds would have put much of the fear aside. Especially considering she's an Ambassador of Peace. The only real reason to have her do something like that is because it's the outfit she was given originally by a kinky, misogynistic creep. That's all. It's a continuation of making up excuses to have her keep her original outfit to shy away from that fact.
To be fair, the Amazons were never modest with their clothing; both in DC fiction and Greek mythology. And by extension, Shakespeare's female characters were the same:
Back on Themysicra, they simply wore togas (or some variation of it), with no undergarments underneath.
Diana, and her people, have grown-up with the mindset of wearing loose clothing, so when her outfit was crafted by her mother, it's makes sense that the contents of her attire was in the same vein of how the Amazons dressed.
Now, I'm not saying her outfit WASN'T an excuse for the creator to perv out, however, going by how Amazon's have always dressed and the inspiration of Greek lore, it makes sense that her Wonder Woman costume is of little clothing, and resembles the revealing female warrior "armor" of Greek Mythology.
Add American colors to said Amazonian attire, modernize it a bit, and you more or less have that.
They even poke fun at her mindset on Justice League. She's so used to loose clothing that it doesn't bother her.

If she wore full armor, no one would really recognize her as the Wonder Woman they've grown to know. I think it'd be a little too controversial to stray far away from what was already established as her attire. And don't even get me started on the fan rage that would follow.
Also, I don't see how the outfit origin I posted above failed to make sense. She wanted to put people's fear of a strange outsider to rest, hence the colors she thought was their universal symbol.
Anyway, we'll just have to wait and see if it changes, like you said.

« on: July 28, 2014, 09:40:16 AM »Honestly, I love the outfit. A lot.
BECAUSE IT MAKES SENSE.
Yeah, Wonder Woman's costume always had the Red White & Blue.... which really made little to no sense. Why would a freakin' Amazon wear the colors of the USA? Perhaps later on she changes it to reflect her coming to Man's World or whatever, but I honestly think it's an improvement. It's still got the classic WW's on it, I like the skirt and I like the armor on the boots. Very well done.
In the Wonder Woman movie, her suit was based on the American flag on Trevor's military outfit. She assumed this to be the symbol of Man's World.
She uses red, white & blue to show that she "comes in peace" when visiting Man's World; as an Ambassador of her island, Themyscira.
