Bumblebee thread

Why doesn’t DC care about Bumblebee ? Someone at WB/DC animation seems to care about since she’s a big part of both DC Super Hero Girls but DC themselves don’t seem to care about her. Why doesn’t DC care about Bumblebee ?

nobody likes bees

But user

IT'S HIP

1. She's just a Wasp rip-off, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
2. No one actually cares, she just appears in cartoons because she's black.

D.C. barely uses its black female characters. You'd think that they would do something with Thunder and Lightning but they aren't even in comics right now.

As for Bumblebee, I'm not a fan of how the current cartoon is handling her. When the shy horse has more balls than you, something is horribly wrong with your character.

They cared enough to turn her into a knockoff Wasp. That's something I guess.

Bee is more popular

All DCSHG are just changed into the typical archetypes you'd expect in these kind of shows, excitable, aggressive, shy, egotistical, etc. I think the show itself it's fine but everyone is quite different to how they are in comics or other media.
lmao no, and Wasp isn't even that popular

DC also forgets to give them personality(though this could be said about a lot of characters).

When Bumblebee and Steel were in the Titans comic, they were just there and had no personality to speak of.

Ironheart isn't very popular, but she does have a personality.

Why don't they give Bumblebee the power to grow as well as shrink? That'd make her more interesting.

That would be cool but it would make her too much like Ant-man or Wasp and she’s already similar to them.

Can we start brainstorming a new costume for her? Pic related is a great start, but I think we can do better. Reason BEE-ing is that it will help her differentiate from The Wasp.

First and foremost I think a great design element in her costume would BEE big Mega Man style boots and gauntlets. Bumblebees have are bigger than their other bee cousins, and I think that would help reflect that.
Because Wasp can do that already.

That's the stupidest reasoning ever. Fuck both of you.

>"Hey how do we make this character more interesting?"
>LETS GIVE HER ANOTHER POWER
Retard. And, again, the goal is to make her less of a Wasp ripoff. So take your hurt feelings elsewhere.

>D.C.
Why do you write it like that?

It's weird that you mention Thunder and Lightning, and not someone more well known like Vixen

>Why doesn’t DC care about Bumblebee ?
First of all, DC isn't a person so it can't care about anything. It's an entertainment company that does use Bumblebee as a character so I feel like thos whole line of questioning is pointless.

"the goal" is to make her more interesting, you fucking idiot. You don't know shit about writing comics.

Thunder and Lightning are in a TV show right now. You would think DC would do something with them in the comics.

>why doesn't this lesser known character get a comic series.
Because somebody has to pitch it first.

Synergy doesn't work. There's no evidence that people will buy a comic just because a character that was in tv or movies is in it.

Implying you do? Yeah no shit, that's the goal. What the fuck do you think we're talking about here? You don't do that by making her even more similar to the character she already has a hard time differentiating and competing with, you fucking idiot. Furthermore, adding another power does jack shit for her actual character.

God I hate summerfags

She's part of the Titans franchise, which Didio hates.

She already is interesting, that's the reason why DC uses her for a lot of cartoon appearances.

She could be MORE interesting though.

For very good reasons as the franchise is like a poorly built house filled that is decaying and no steps can be make to fix the shitty house because a bunch of retards like the house the way it is.

DC seems to be pushing Black Lightning right now and its weird that they aren't doing anything with his duaghters.

As for Vixen, DC barely does anything with her to begin with.

The Titans franchise is bad and needs a complete retool, but Didio has a beef with legacy characters and young characters in general because they 'age' the older ones.

Its not a coincidence that most of the characters getting turned by the BWL are either from the Titans or younger characters in general.

Vixen was on a tv show too. But she died, right? I don't watch CW crap really.
It's kind of a shame. I would have preferred Vixen over Cyborg on the Justice League

Because his daughters have to be teenagers to be superheroes and that would make Black Lightning old and married. Another thing DC editorial hates.

Bullcrap, nobody is happy with how the titans currently are and everything didio's regime has done has only messed them up more. Didio is responsible for their current sorry state.

>its weird that they aren't doing anything with his duaghters.
You got no fucking clue, you have to reintroduce his daughter to the comics and even then that doesn't mean the people buying comics are gonna care. The people who would buy Black Lightning are already buying Batman and the outsiders, no one is holding out for thunder and lightning.

Ship

>Vixen was on a tv show too. But she died, right?
It was a different person as Vixen who died but she’s came back to life.

>nobody is happy with how the titans currently
But they don't know the mechanics behind it. Got nothing to do with didio but everything with how the only time teen titans was remotely good was 40 years ago and that's because of the cast that had no sustainable stories without Raven.

The Titans have the potential for sustainable stories, writers are just not interested or too afraid to try something new with these characters.

>try something new with these characters
That's a meaningless pathos. You can literally say this about anything but the reality is there is serious baggage behind teen titans that fans won't own up to.

I feel like the 'baggage' is on the writers who refuse to retool and reinvent some things that should've been done years ago.

Unless your talking about the fans who feel that the baggage shouldn't be cleaned up because of 'tradition and canon.'

She's too much of an OC Donut Steel and Harley already fills that position. I know I know she's based on Jericho's girlfriend from 70s Teen Titans but that's pretty fucking obscure anyways. Just cause Greg Weisman added her to the second season of Young Justice does not an iconic hero make.

>I know I know she's based on Jericho's girlfriend from 70s Teen Titans
You don't know shit.

O rly? Ok enlighten me with your vast DC knowledge then o wise one?

I meant Mal/Herald not Jericho but regardless you're a faggot

She wasn't Jericho's girlfriend.

>She's too much of an OC Donut Steel and Harley already fills that position.
In what world does this even make sense?

And secondly...?

Steel has a personality, shes a quirky & nerdy lesbian. She was actually pretty good in Abnetts Teen Titans but I agree with your overall point. DCs black characters are usually personality less except for a special few and they all tend to get the short end of the stick when it comes to integrating them with the rest of the DC Universe lately

Steel was just there during Abnett's run, she did nothing interesting and I didn't see any signs of a personality. Then again, considering how Abnett handled the other characters during that run that might have been for the best.

Because as a black character, she doesn't act as though she's from the hood, which means her marketability is lower than Ghettoman, the crack-dealer by night, vigilante by day.

I wanna cuddle Faust Karen

And secondly she's been in 5 cartoons and has been in enough comics that suggest that DC is by no means ignoring her.

>when she finds out you didn’t put on a condom after you came inside her

sure she can't carry her own comic but im surprised DC doesn't use her seeing as she got a fairly decent push in the cartoon. must have picked up a few fans that way.
put her into Teen Titans/young justice/ super-sons

It's true, did you know 13% of all bees commit 50% of all crime?

I don’t know if she can handle a solo series but I would give her mini series.

DC hates the Titans in general, her being in Abnett Titans already married with a kid was a death knell for her. The people in charge only like younger characters if they're actually young teens.

Honestly, I’d like to see her as the main tech person in the JL lineup like Cyborg was in the New 52. She’d probably have a more interesting dynamic with the league than Vic did.
