i got this idea where the countdown trio (lantern alex timeline) enter an earth with no lantern rings and they find this earth's alex. after a shock of finally meeting herself as her counterpart, kyle is mentioned. the trio find out that this earths kyle is in a deep coma and refuses to wake up from it.

i have 0 idea how but the trio manage to finally wake kyle up and alex gets to see a heartbreaking sight of her counterpart and her kyle have their happy ending. the one kind that she would trade almost anything for.

ANYWAY goodnight im going to sleep nowzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

#also alex finally meeting hr counterpart after only ever seeing kyle :p #kylealex #alex dewitt #kyle rayner #dc #myart

i think ppl who compare alex dewitt to uncle ben are correct, and i will stand by the fact that even though alex coined the term fridging, it wasnt really her being fridged since its more complicated than that. but i feel like with that its still important to talk about how there WAS misogyny in alex's death because of the way its different than uncle ben's

their deaths were definitely the same idea-- alex & ben both died so kyle & peter respectively would understand the gravity of being a hero and would take it more seriously, and their deaths had more narrative significance than an average fridgegirl

however. i think its worth mentioning that kyle didn't need it the way peter did. when alex died, kyle WAS being a hero. the reason he wasnt with alex when she died is that he was saving people. alex's death was used to teach him that being a hero wasnt fun, which was not a lesson that she needed to die for him to learn. when ben died, it was to teach peter that people were going to get hurt if he didnt stop the bad guys. ben's death was used to teach him about great power, great responsibility, etc, and the lesson wouldnt have had the same weight if he didnt die. the reason alex had to die was so kyle could have Man Angst about it, not because her death was vital to the narrative in the way ben's was

building off that, alex was killed by someone that kyle had never met and had no way of knowing about. ben died because peter saw the man that killed him earlier that day and didnt stop him, but alex died just because kyle was busy at that moment. again, he was saving people. alex didnt need to die to teach him a lesson about being a hero since he WAS already being a hero (not to mention he gets the same lesson like 5 other times when he meets alan & hal & the other lanterns. but we can ignore that for now). as a character, peter needed uncle ben's death to define his morals & his view of himself as a hero. alex didnt die because of a mistake or a choice kyle made, her death was just to give the story flavor and to give kyle something to be upset about

also, the way they died was very different. the point gail simone was making with the term "fridging" was that alex's death was needlessly brutal. uncle ben was shot off-panel, and all the reader sees is cops at peter's house. alex was attacked and strangled on-panel, and her body was mutilated and shoved in a refrigerator for no reason. while this is partially just because one is from 1962 and the other is from 1994, the point is that the man gets the grace of a simple death while the woman gets the unnecessarily gruesome death

anyways. im not saying that alex and ben had to die in the exact same way for comparisons to matter. obviously theyre different stories and different lessons so theyre going to be different deaths. marz intended alex to be kyle's uncle ben, and she was! but the misogyny comes in when you think about how different their deaths are

#it wasnt JUST misogyny. but that doesnt mean it wasnt misogyny #im not a marvel fan but we read the spider-man issue where ben dies in my comic studies class so i have a lot of thoughts about it lmao #and ofc i always have thoughts about alex <3 i miss my girl every day. im sorry they did that to you my angel #alex dewitt #dc #this post is inspired by a different post i saw that i completely agreed with #but. idk. just because alex's death is more complicated than people make it doesnt mean that it wasnt misogynistic ykwim

Saw a post about Alex being fridged and I think so often about how she was narratively Kyle's uncle ben figure but she got turned into a gwen stacy figure because people figured a woman couldn't be a moral figure for a man. sorry for the spider-man analogy but the writers of that comic made it themselves.

Alex's death has haunted Kyle's narrative for literally thirty years. Because he still loves the fuck out of her and misses her every day. Kyle didn't need motivation to be a superhero. He simply got strength from knowing Alex and her death didn't change that. Her memory and who she was carries him forward still.

Alex was the one in comparison who traditionally would have been a green lantern. Strong willed, focused, not driven by heart the same way Kyle is but Kyle is a new type of Lantern one who introduces emotion into the Lantern Universe in a new way. The Oblivion storyline showed us Kyle thought the same that in a universe where Alex got the ring he got shoved into a fridge. Because the tragedy isn't random. The Green Lanterns were dead caput but suddenly there's one left? Of course people were gunning for Alex.

I also think anytime someone mentions the fridge they have to include that Alex died with a knife in her hand trying to cut Major Force refusing to give him anything on Kyle because she thought he was worth dying for.

But I was doing my job, you know? Because there was no one else to do the job. It was just me, Kyle Rayner, the last Green Lantern. Either I handled it, or it didn't get handled. There was no backup.
