Description Delivered by Busty!

This dialogue is directly lifted from a two issue She Hulk mini series called "Ceremony", it's a story about a evil business man wanting to harness the power of a Native American tribe by uprooting tribal lands and consuming their souls but She Hulk teams up with her long time admirer to fulfill his duty as a Native guardian to stop him.

To be honest if this story came out today it would be considered woke, cause it kind of is, you could totally interpret the message as pretentious and preachy but I also preface the "kind of" part because it's done rather tastefully and doesn't really lecture the audience. This line specifically follows after a dude bombing an abortion clinic and She Hulk managing to catch him. In a modern comic not only would She Hulk beat the hell out of him and belittle him, she would go on a 9 panel lecture about women's rights, how society is unfair to women, it's not a man's place to govern a woman's body, patriarchy, blah blah blah. Nah this exchange happens in two panels with each character saying their piece and the story moves on, now why does this story work so well? Dwayne McDuffie wrote it that's why, while it's not amazing perse I still enjoyed it for how it fleshes out She Hulk and it's the kind of thing I have planned for Busty and her story arcs. She Hulk's first appearance in the story has her eating ice cream on a couch, in the dark, watching soap operas.

Most writers nowadays are too focused on pushing their agendas and politics rather than focusing on telling a compelling narrative, and then they fall back on the classic excuse "comics have always been political", Dwayne McDuffie took real life events and properly wove it into his story in a natural way with a character that fit the subject matter and didn't let it overtake half the story, writers back then were just much better about, not just putting their politics in but having actual banter about the subject but even then it didn't go beyond a panel or two in a 29 page book. And comics aren't political period because using the handful of characters that do have a message behind them like say X-Men or Punisher, you have tons of characters and stories about all kinds of crazy shit, comics were obsessed with gorillas at one point, remember that next time somebody says comics were always political.

Anyway enough rambling, it was fun showing what kind of damage Busty can take, little tease for a future post. I got so many ideas right now I just wanna spew em all out.
