Yeppers, Wondy. That you did. You clearly listed the works you prefer.
That doesn't erase the fact that you have repeatedly conceded that the comics in question by Moore and Miller are well-written. Tainted by their darkness? Oh sure! Go nuts! Taint them all you want! You still said they're well-written. You've still praised these comics in the past (despite their oh so obvious flaws). You still said you would... oh, I don't need to quote you. That'll just make you start whining about me putting your words out of context (because, apparently, I have to quote all 3000 words in every single post you write to reference a single sentence). You know what you said.
You're not arguing with me here, Wondy. You're arguing with something YOU said. That's the beauty of it.
I didn't concede anything. I said that I prefer the works I listed. And those are the ones I go back to and re-read, far more often than the cynical and dark Moore and Miller material.
And yes, I know what I said. That I prefer the material I listed.
You keep trying to strawman me into defending work I said that, for whatever redeeming qualities, I find overly dark, tainted and flawed. The best of a bad era, but still flawed.
