It was neither intended to be negative, or dismissive. That's why we went on to talk about alternative endings so that users could choose which ending they prefer. As Bluestone does with their Extreme and Peril versions. The reality is, that as I said, without the possibility of a fatal outcome, there really is no peril. It's like watching a TV series where you know from the beginning that no matter what happens, the damsel will escape or be rescued, so the "peril" is meaningless. This is why, even on TV, the best drama series have episodes periodically where a main character dies.read the comics wrote: ↑Fri Aug 23, 2024 5:06 amThat's your opinion. I don't like to watch defeated superheroines. I like to watch superheroines BEING defeated. To me, once she's dead, she no longer serves any purpose because all of the tension is gone. By all means, advocate for what you like, but that was a pretty negative way to say it and it kinda dismisses the preferences of other people in the community who may prefer to see a comeback at the end. It's weird to me that at this point so many of us still seem to think this kink came out of a cookie cutter and the way it manifests in them personally is quintessential.SSkykingDA wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 7:32 pmWhen a superheroine loses, she really needs to lose her life. If not, there is no real peril, and a defeated superheroine, no longer serves any purpose.
Realistically, any villain powerful enough to defeat a superheroine is very unlikely to just pat himself on the back and walk away, leaving her to recover and fight again! That's like all those movies and TV shows where someone gets chased by a car and the simply try running down the street instead of turning off and running between parked cars or trees. etc. It's just not logical.
