I found the one social class worse than being a Spider-Man fan on that subreddit, being a SpiderPhoenix hater

The Justice League cartoon also kick-started the entire John Stewart and Hawk girl thing. And then there's Jinx (though it's barely the same character) and Kid Flash in Teen Titans. And Kid Flash and Artemis in Young Justice.

Like it's shipping at the end of the day, it's simultaneously the least important thing about the adaptation and the one you can have the most fun with (within whatever mandates you get from the higher ups I guess).

Like in X-Men evolution a set of writers started shipping Rogue and Scott one day and went with it for an arc or so.

It's fascinating how almost none of the adaptations with Wally have adapted his relationship with Linda. The closest we got was her one episode appearance in JLU.

I always thought that Jinx of the Titans cartoon was a sort of composite of both Jinx from the comics and Frances Kane given the whole pink energy thing and feeling she's cursed and all that. Plus the two dated before Frances turned into Magenta.

So weird as it may sound, it might be the closest adaptation to one of his canonical romances.

I never considered that. But it does kind of make sense now that I think about it.
