Journal E-Rock-23's Journal: Fsck Ginger Or Mary Ann. 2003: Raven Or Starfire? 2

Remember when you were growing up and first heard the ultimate question? It was _the_ toughest test any man could take. Do you pick Hollywood Fluff or the Middle-American Girl Next Door? The logical answer to this question is simple: Mary Ann every time. Ginger is about as fake and lifeless as the world she represents. Mary Ann is totally bangin', and has got a good head on her shoulders. There's a reason she dug on the Professor, you know...
 
So there. Question answered. What comes next? The real test of finding the perfect test is which two women in entertainment today, occupying the same show, have the most conflicting styles and personalities? Which two best represent both extremes of thier spectrum? Without a doubt, the perfect two women can be seen every Saturday night at 9pm...
 
Raven and Starfire from Teen Titans.
 
OK. Now that we've got the whole thing about animation pervs out of our systems and can control our incessant snickering, let's get down to business. Even though our two new girls aren't live-action, it doesn't escape the fundamental similarity of the shows: That's Entertainment. Stick with me here, you'll like this...
 
For a minute, let's forget that these ink-n-paint hotties have wild superpowers, the fact that Star's an alien and Raven's a half-demon, etc. Super hero shit is cool, but that's not what we're talking about here. It all boils down to personality. All-America Girl vs Hollywood in our original question. Two exact opposites. Raven and Starfire themselves are polar opposites, as shown well in the episode where the Puppetmaster forces them to switch bodies.
 
Heh. Switch bodies. How cool would that be? *snicker snicker* Anyway, since it's my blog, I'm going to lead of with who I'd pick in a heartbeat...
 
  Raven - Yep, I'd have to go with Raven. To me, Raven represents the greatest challange. Someone who is locked up in emotions, and whose emotions have her locked up as well. Not one for the standard fare at all. Dark, somewhat mysterious, somewhat tormented in subtle ways. Highly intelligent, inclined to speak her mind. Jet black hair and the wardrobe to match. Her inner child a princess still wanting to be rescued by a prince charming, but years of emotional roller coasters have pushed it down and nearly out of sight.
 
The Gothic Goddess ^,^
 
And then, there's her mirror:
 
  Starfire - The Well-meaning Innocent. Her emotions have no restraint at most times. Innocent and gullible, easily foold and confused, but by no means anywhere near dense, though she has some moments. Believes herself a princess, and always willing to make new friends. Trusting to a fault. Happy Go Lucky. Her imagination is boundless and often whimsical. A love of all things cute. Desires not a prince, but a knight in shining armor. Always a happy ending in her world...
 
So, which does one choose? Do you like the ease (not THAT kind of ease, pervs) and happiness of Starfire? Or the challange of reaching someone darker and deeper like Raven?
 
Choose wisely...

  • In both instances, you have listed characters who are archetypes rather than real people. Before coming to that stunning realization, I tried to answer based on my wife. Until I figured out that she has a large complement of both types in her. As I'm sure most people do.

    In the end, it depends on who I'm going to have freakier sex with. While the dark and brooding is usually a surefire sign of a winner, how often can you bang an alien? The nod goes to Starfire.

    (Seriously though, it would be Raven. Starfire
  • Now I'll have to find out when they show it, so I can do some... uh... research.

    (I think it's just started showing on Toonami here in the UK - saw a trailer)

    From the website it looks to be a bit too anime-tastic for my tastes. Oh well, time will tell...

    Now why couldn't you have picked a show that I already know back-to-front, like Batman Beyond or X-Men Evolution ? You're spoilt for choice of hotties on those two shows... :-)
