Strangled by the Red String: Difference between revisions

* ''Most'' ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' fans regard the recent [[Black Panther]]/[[Storm]] nuptials as something akin to this. Many of those who were interested in the idea were annoyed at Reginald Hudlin's [[Protection From Editors|hamfisted railroading]] of the relationship from casual acquaintance to Wedding Of Perfect Couple as soon as possible.

* Subverted in the ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'' storyline "One Year Later". It had Diana suddenly involved in a relationship with Nemesis (Tom Tresser), a new co-worker and long-time minor DC character. Many fans felt this new hookup was rushed at best, especially since Tom was [[Not as You Know Them|considerably more boorish than in previous appearances]]. Eventually, in ''[[Wonder Woman]]'' #32, It's revealed that Diana never had romantic feelings towards Tom at all; she was just exploiting his feelings towards her to get him to father her daughters and replenish the Amazon population.

** It seems like DC is planning to push for another Superboy/Wondergirl/Red Robin triangle in the new reboot though...

* Antoine and Bunnie Rabbot in Archie's [[Sonic the Hedgehog (comics)|Sonic the Hedgehog]] comic were thrown together in one story with almost no build-up beyond the same issue they got together revealing that Antoine had once saved Bunnie's life. Thankfully, the relationship was well handled after that point, and it was easier to accept than most examples because neither of them had any romantic chemistry with other characters.
