[Teen Titans] Starfire and oxygen

[Kyle Thomas Pope]

In the TT episode Wavelength Starfire was threatened with drowning on
several occasions. Yet we know Starfire can operate in the vacuum of
space without protection. Since Starfire clearly doesn't need to
breathe how can she drown?

Perhaps she can go anaerobic (living without oxygen) for a short time,
but lungfuls of water disrupt this process?

She is supposed to have a somewhat different biochemical process than
humans.

Space is a far more hostile environment for biological processes that
water. Starfire crosses interstellar distances without a spaceship.
That would entail prolonged exposure to hard vacuum, radiation, deep
cold, etc. After something like that being immersed in water would be
akin to relaxing in a hammock.

Possibly she's like the Newcomers from Alien Nation (who had a vastly
enhanced physiology but an unfortunate chemical reaction with salt water...)
or something...

It's called crappy writing...

It's all just about the wet hair. You know how girls are about that stuff.

I've read Superman comics since the 1960's, and I'm still trying to figure
out how he can talk in outer space.

yea how far can he throw a potato chip?

the show seems to have its comedic moments sometimes they conflict
with its reality

but how long was she in space? the storybook method of the naritive
seems to have her wanderin around in space but she seems to fly faster
than light to jump around to all those inhabited planets
