Shulkie Beach Volleyball

Description

I have a soft spot for She-Hulk.
I know this online event podcast fan/comic "controversy" thing I'm referring to in the piece is a bit old, but it took me awhile to get my skills to where I feel like I can adequately do it justice.
So, this is one of the first times I've utilized both DAZstudio and Photoshop to do stuff using text to make speech balloons and editor boxes... and I noticed, people make a big fuming deal about how Jennifer Walters has a tendency to kind of sleep around.
You should put it into context though... she is status-wise single; She was married once (Hello, it's okay to be a divorcee on the prowl, people!).
Shulkie is a successful independent career woman (who can perfectly well afford to take care of herself on her own, thank you very much and does not need a man to provide for her financially), and super powered.  It makes sense she'd have some "adult" relationships with certain other super powered individuals, since, by definition her having super strength makes for a more limited pool of potential partner prospects to date. Gee, you can't really have an intimate relationship with a normal person!  Trying to do so would be impossible at best and potentially deadly at worst.

So chill out that a thoroughly modern strong (get it? Horrible pun, I know!) heterosexual female character chooses to be sexually active (read that as liberated) and isn't totally puritanical.  She's not a nun, but she isn't a hooker either! :slamhead:
The whole point is she can be powerful while still being flirty and fun... and if you don't get that then you don't understand She-Hulk.

She's not going to be depicted as the classic idyllicized conservative perfect woman who is satisfied with limiting herself to the traditionally deemed appropriate roles of mother and homemaker*; :megaphone: Get over it!

*ever. Unless maybe you were on crack or something. :rage:

On an unrelated note: When my friend showed me the new Super Smash Bros on his Wii U I got rather confused about Xenoblade Chronicles (since at the time that game had not been released in North America yet) and thought that when people said Shulk was on the roster they meant She-Hulk. I was... mildly disappointed. :lol:
