Trash talk is poor sportsmanship, just as being a poor loser [or poor winner] is. Anyone who tells you different is just a poor sport. If you can beat the other guy at the sport, let your actions speak for you, it should be far more eloquent than any bullsh!t coming out of your mouth anyway.
Unless, of course, the sport you’re competing in is trash talking.
Two things here that I particularly like about MM as a comic. Jan is more stressed about parenting than she is hero-ing, because she has more experience of the latter. And since I first found the comic, I’ve been impressed that she has a realistic physique. If you’ve been training intensively in martial arts for many years, you’re likely to have powerful legs and relatively little fat tissue on your torso. Too many female superheroes in other comics are built like glamour models rather than athletes.
You mean with boobs as big as their head, no feet, missing at least two pairs of ribs, extra vertebrae in a wasp waist and next to no costume no mater the season?
We’ll learn why Anne is there….
I’ve got the feeling that Anne may have completely the wrong idea about what classifies as ‘healthy competition’.
Trash talk is a totally healthy part of sport! Gotta get into your opponent’s head

I.E., a Rap Battle.
I smell a mother daughter vs mother daughter match up coming!

Pretty much that, yes!
FWIW, I’ve long suspected that, in Salvadora, this is some kind of ironic in-joke but I may be overestimating the source material.
Ann and Abby… Jan and Jacky… THANK YOU for putting all four names on the same page…
Miss Melee is using the cross face crippler! But she learned that one from Rimi.
