Why Big Barda is Amazing

Since I haven't talked about DC in a while, mainly because I haven't gone to my local comic book store in a while, I'll continue with a character named Big Barda. She's not that big of a character, and mainly in cameo roles most times, her picture comes up in Sandman once, when Scott (or as most know him, Mister Miracle) wakes up.
The first question is why would I pick her?

Normally she doesn't have the axe, but by the end of this I hope you'll understand that she doesn't need the axe to kick ass. First off, she was part of the Justice League, Birds of Prey, and was an elite warrior from her home planet, for further reference, watch this video in which she kills her former subordinates.
Here it is.
It wouldn't let me put it here so there's the link.
It should be noted as well that Wonder Woman is awesome in this, and in other things as well. But Wonder Woman gets plenty of attention, so I'm giving Barda a second in the spotlight. Of course its not a great spot light, but better than nothing. Anyways, one of the reasons I admire Barda is that she has actual armor. The first time I saw her its what won me over. It was in this episode of Justice League Unlimited that she was brought to my attention. Of course she does have some fantasy moments.

Keep in mind she could still end you.

She's also married, to Mr. Miracle (Scott Free). Which points me to my next point, they were a gender reversal in who's stronger and protective. She is the powerhouse in the relationship, and although poked fun at sometimes, she still has moments of just wanting to be a normal person. In the 80s comic, she wants the neighbors to not think of her as a freak at times. And the relationship isn't some attempted love triangle, or one that people aren't sure if it really works, they love and respect each other. Every time Mr. Miracle shows up, Barda at least has some face time, and they'll joke with each other. And this is one of the two comics of Mr. Miracle I owned.

I enjoyed the partially humorous nature of their relationship. Its in someways ridiculous that she is the "man" in the relationship, but it really works for them, so what does it matter?

Like most comic book characters, she's evolved over the years and all for the better. She's still stayed strong, but stays pretty much true to herself.  

Elder Scrolls online is making me depressed

So the more I've seen it, the less I like it. First off, the picture on the official site that greets you as soon as you go to it.

The Nord looks alright, and the imperial thief-type class is ok, from what I see, but wait, what in the holy hell?
The female elf mage, what the hell?

Is that a bosmer? It has to be, altmers are golden and dunmers are grey. But she's too damn pretty, and cleavage armor, really Bethesda?

You went from this:

To this pretty girl. I can't handle it. It annoys me to no end.I'm scared of what they'll do to both the Altmer and bosmers. And oh god what they might do to the beast races.

Oh god why did you do that to the Khajit? I kid, I kid this pic is from this forum

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. 

The pacts I under stand, but I have a bit of the problem with a couple of facets. The Ebonheart pact makes the most sense from the grouping race wise. These are the three races that although they don't like each other, they don't tend to like anyone else either. And the Ebonheart in this is different then the one in Morrowind. The one in Morrowind is on Vvardenfell, this one is on the main land. So I bet you Vvardenfell will be an expansion pack/DLC/whatever, if they're honest to their own lore. Oh and I get my Elder Scroll lore from uesp.net so if you want to see where I get my Lore facts from, it's from there. 

 The DaggerFall one is what gets makes no sense for one reason only: The orcs. The Bretons and Redguards aren't busy fighting each other yet, so those two make sense. But the orcs, well, have a history of being attacked by both neighboring races, so I find it odd that their teaming up with the two races that have a history with them, unless its a way they're people pleasing to include it. Or to make the teams even.

And the third: the Aldmeri Dominion, the Bosmer, Altmer, and Khajit. The khajit are just kind of there, for being there and needing to fit in an aligince and everyone has already teamed up. Like the kid who came in late to class and he makes an odd number so he's teamed up with the best buddies that ignore him.

And the graphics are pretty and all, but it still feels like it's going to be a yet another WoW wannabe.
