Yeah, she doesn't look anime waifu enough. Why, she even looks menacing! How can a demon witch warrior DARE to look menacing and not supermoe???

Playing MK9 already taught me that NetherRealm can't make female faces to save their lives.

Also ignore the fact that everyone looks fucked up in this game since I am a huge retarded faggot that loves horsecocks up his bum.

All designs in injustice look like shit or almost shit or kind shitty or a bit shit or super shit.
And I'm talking about everything from outfits to faces to bodies the game is plagued with WHY WHY THIS IS HORRIBLE things.

Her face looks a lot better in-game, both on the character model and in-game art.

But yeah, some of the earlier stuff was pretty... yeesh.

Further, given that 'spritely adorableface' Raven REALLY doesn't fit the themes of Injustice (however amazing the Teen Titans cartoon was), this version of her, I think anyway, was a better choice to go with.

The first time Raven actually looked what could be called "attractive" was in the renewed Teen Titans a few years ago, and this is a character who had been around since 1980. Before that appearance, she ALWAYS looked like a kind of mannish dominatrix fantasy villainess.
Pyre

This is something I keep seeing come up, and it's KIND of surprising, but not terribly.

This is how Raven is SUPPOSED to look. It's not a matter of someone thinking this is actually attractive - I'm fairly sure nobody actually does. This WAS Raven's comics appearance until extremely recently.

Oh look, more Teen Titans cartoon butthurt because Raven's face doesn't look kawaii animu enough for the whiny weaboos. Get over it!

I dislike The Dota comics mainly because i rarely find them funny especially when compared to Jo's other work. and i would like him to do other topics.
That being said, he's the owner of Nerf-Now and so i support his decision to to any subject he wants
P.s. I also prefer the teen titans raven

Where did those eyes come from? Cause seriously, unless he's wearing a mask, eyes don't spontaneously create from nothing! Oh wait, he's a tentacled horrible monstrosity from outside the boundaries of euclidean geometry and non occult knowledge. Another words: Fuk Yo Logic!

Anyway, enough with being off-topic. We just have to make ourselves believe that injustice raven, DOES NOT EXIST.

Modeling after the original confused me, as the Cartoon Network version of the comics and of Raven were significantly more popular.

The comics had a better story, but design and even personality go to the show. The show just didn't make her desperate enough, which was all throughout the comics.

[url=#user_comment_289153]@Lucky[/url]: Most of the dota comics had obvious-to-outsiders jokes (except for rare cases, like, in example, the Gondar comic) and some even had explicitly explained jokes. It's that you're too retarded and unwilling to even try to read the comic and/or understand it.

Seriously, this isn't just an issue with Raven looking ugly, the Netherrealm Studios team makes the ugliest female face models this side of Dead Island.

The problem is, dorks all grew up watching one style on TV (Teen Titans) and they think that gives them liberty to judge other incarnations and ages for the same character. Raven is not some cute kid from Teen Titans - her dad is practically another version of Satan for crying out loud.

I wouldn't call it a hag witch face. It's more of a face that has very well defined cheekbones.

She's actually depicted that way in most comics. Teen Titans is in the minority with her appearance.

True... Putting a hag face to make her more "evil" isn't that great. Heck there has been ton of super hero turned villains that come out with great or at the very least decent costumes/makeup. They really should have did something else or at least go with the old demonic multi triangle like eyes.
