Yeah, it's some of her cousin's clothes. I've heard people suggest that she was trying to emulate the styles of the people around her, but obviously didn't grasp the nuances of fashion. She didn't become a prostitute until NYX, which while published before this, took place after it, chronologically.

As for why they made her a prostitute: Blame Quesada, since he was writing NYX. As I recall the guys who actually created X-23, Kyle and Yost, were quite pissed off by this, especially as the character had been created for X-Men Evolution, before being introduced into the comics a la Harley Quinn. They pretty much ignored it in their own writing, for obvious reasons.

Ah, that's right. I had it wrong, sorry. And good thing Kyle and Yost ignored all of it too.

If the incursion ends with the population of Stilt-Earth all standing together in the incursion, and then extending their legs to push Marvel earth away it will be totally worth it.

Actually, that sounds more like the ending if Hickman got ran over by a bus and Grant Morrison took over...

"It was a Stilt-Man world. It was the first of many."

Anyway, content. Original Sin: Thor & Loki #4 is all about Thor and Loki invading the heretofore forgotten Tenth Realm of Yggdrasil, Heven, in order to find Thor's recently found-out-about sister. Thor gets captured, then Loki defects because of course he does, and helps the angels of Heven with their plan to invade Asgard (because they have a score to settle with Odin for cutting them off from the other realms in the first place). Now he she is leading the invading fleet.

I considered putting this in the badass thread for the last part, but the "Baby murder WILL happen!" line was too much.

Is Loki a woman at the moment for disguise purposes, or because Loki purposes?

The angels know he's a dude, he just changed his appearance just to blend in better after his "backstab" of Thor. Maybe also subtlety increase their trust of him.

It's not like there isn't precedent in the old sagas. There's one where Thor's hammer is stolen and Loki insists the only way to get it back is for both of them to cross-dress and infiltrate a wedding. With Thor as the bride....

Loki's got a thing going right now where he can't really shape shift but can only change into versions of himself, like Lady Loki.

Well, he does take it to extremes. He had to steal a giant's workhorse so he dressed as a female horse to lure it away.

He came back pregnant. :v:

From what I gathered, Odin would go around looking like a woman, but he was all man underneath. Loki would actually become a woman, including getting pregnant, and thus was effeminate and looked down upon.

Ancient mythology is misogynistic.

A few years ago I was at the Getty with my mother and she had to ask, "What's that woman doing with that swan?" when we passed this statue ( :nws:

for artistic bestiality).

And just to make it worse, they had it opposite of Rembrandt's The Abduction of Europa but at least I didn't have to explain why she was riding a cow.

Anyway, have some Herbie because this thread needs more Herbie:

Greek Mythology is the deviantart of Mythologies where you find some great stuff in it, but also a lot of weird fetishy stuff. That or maybe because all the weird stuff was memorable that it was remembered and preserved and all the stories about the gods being reasonable sane benevolent beings got lost to the ether.

Pretty much. Even at the time, people complained that all the nutty stories were inappropriate for making fun of the gods who provided mankind with warmth\food\etc.

I mean, take Ares. He was the God of Law Enforcement in the religion (a role that shows up just once in the common myths, when he arrives to arrest Sisyphus for kidnapping Death) and the source of Masculinity\Courage\Willpower\etc, but since he was the patron of Sparta and almost all our myths come from Athens, in the stories he's a violent bumbling loser who constantly gets his poo poo wrecked by the Awesome and Wise and Super-Cool and Daddy's Favorite Athena.

Not just mythology, during most of the medieval period in Europe homosexuality was only considered a sin if you were a bottom, since receiving was something women do.

CapnAndy: Feb 27, 2004; Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

That's straight back to Roman times. You could gently caress whoever you wanted and were no less of a man for it, but few insults were deadlier than "you take it up the rear end".

They were also extremely fond of "you gently caress your sister". Romans, go figure.

Not only was homosexuality considered a sin all the time in medieval Europe, but the punishment was pretty severe: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality_in_medieval_Europe#Punishment_in_medieval_times

I could swear I read somewhere that part of the point of Greek mythology was that the gods were as bad as (or worse than) humans. I'm sure there's a link between the way they behave in the Iliad (which was a story that would be told for entertainment) and the way people behave on reality TV. :haw:
