it pisses me off how lemire is like “the person i like writing the most is lorraine!” and then writes, literally, misogynistic drivel that does nothing except flatten out all the compelling pieces of her and replaces them with a personality made up ENTIRELY of her relationship to ronnie. it's like the only way she can exist in this comic is if she's reminding the audience that she and ronnie used to date. which... they barely did, by the way, and for the majority of it she was the side piece. it doesn't matter that she was a politician, it doesn't matter that she was given her powers via torture, it doesn't matter that her relationship with ronnie has been platonic longer than it was ever romantic/sexual. all that matters if that she's Firestorm's Ex-Girlfriend: Firestorm But A Girl but of course not as strong as Real Firestorm. give me a fucking break.
