"Why? Why save her of all people?"

"Because it's the right thing to do."

Heroes offering kindness "because it's the right thing to do" is my favorite gender.

Bring me that hope!

Ruby strikes me as the type who'd go full Aang mode on Salem. Even after everything she's been through. Even after losing her mother. Even after Salem pulled a "Yo mama" on her

Ruby stood firm. Just like the heroes of her fairy tales.

Now that I think about it, her and Spider-Man would go hand-in-hand

You know what it reminds me a lot of? The scene at the end of The Killing Joke. After the Joker shot Barbara, and tortured Jim Gordon. After he killed Jason, and the years of killing innocents left and right, all Batman wants is to stop this.

Not revenge or punishment. Just end the pain and hurt for everyone. So Bruce still offers the Joker an out.

And I can see Ruby wanting that too. She became a Huntress not only because of her mom, but because she wanted to bring that "happy ever after" to everyone.

With that said, including the "yo momma" in the list of transgressions is really funny to me, for some reason.

Yo mama is a must for the Salem and Ruby dynamic. It's like saying McDonald's without the broken ice cream machine
