I think this thread perfectly encapsulates the evolution of comic forums.
Stage 1 - the original thread. Random posters with little/no knowledge posting their personal opinions and half-remembered anecdotes and personal bias.
Stage 2 - where Carver and people who think they are knowledgeable posters are, the Respect Thread stage. They read a respect thread, cherrypick a scan or two, then pass it off as knowledge.
Stage 3 - where posters like qwerty are at, with the growth of comic hosting sites where anyone can get any comic to refute arguments.
So the scan Carver posted is used as a great example of WW's speed by her fans. 'Oh look, the Flash is tagged by WW, she MUST be fast! Lemme post this in her Respect Thread for all to see!.
People who can call the comic up, though?
Everyone was holding back on her, except Batman, lmao, who was the only one to actually try to win the fight, whilst everyone else fought her like a friend.
So to recap, this 'amazing' speed feat of WW is:
1. tagging a holding back Flash who is trying not to hurt her.
2. the only one who isn't holding back and who wants to hurt her, the human dude, actually hurts her when he tries to lol.
3. the big test at the end of the fight is....a normal gun being fired at her.
I mean, this 'test' is something Cap or Spidey would laugh at, hell it would be a test for Punisher or Nightwing, let alone a herald tier martial artist who supposedly has FTL reactions. Which is why it is hilarious that its used as proof in this thread.
