Quote: You bore me, Mxy, as do your outdated views on comic book writing as well as your clear ignorance towards how comic books have been writen in the last 20 years.
90% of the comics I've read are from the last 20 years. Just because I understand it doesn't mean I have to accept it. There's been great stuff (Watchmen, Swamp Thing, Sandman, Animalman, Starman, Preacher, etc.) but most of the stuff published by the big companies sucks, specially what came out in the early 90's. You call me outdated yet you're stuck in the 90's and the 80's. Guess what, most readers of my age I know think a lot like me. This is the 00's, old man. You're outdated.
Quote: See, what you want, whether you're 18, 25, 50 or 80, is Silver Age style writing where the flow of the stories was interrupted with out of continity tales (labeled imaginary stories) that did stories that didn't fit with continuity and did whatever they wanted to do.
That's what this is about, letting the writer do what he wants to do. In my opinion he can follow continuity or ignore it. I don't know about you, but I don't enjoy forced stories. I don't care if this coincides with what happened in the Silver Age. Do you know why we get so many crappy comics? Because writers get gigs they can't refuse (money is money) but not everyone likes continuity. So they're forced to learn a continuity they don't care about and work with it, and that work is mediocre. That same writer may have produced the best stories ever with that same character if he had been given complete freedom. Another thing: So I like "Silver Age style writing"... I suppouse, then, that in the Golden Age the stories weren't interrupted by out of continuity stories. So we could say you like "Golden Age style writing".
Quote: That time is GONE, deal with it.
As is the Golden Age... and the 90's.
Quote: Join the rest of the world in the 21st Century, stop living in the 1950's, PLEASE.
Oh, look who's talking... I never lived in the 50's in the first place. You know more about the Silver Age than I do.
Quote: DC and Marvel have been doing out of continuity stories alongside in continuity stories for years, they're called Elseworlds and What If's.
That's different. You don't get whole runs under the Elseworld label, do you? Or Elseworlds where the change is so small it barely makes any difference?
Quote: If that's not enough for the writers, if they're egos tell them that their stories, which disrespect continuity, HAVE to be told within the ongoing titles they fuck em.
Get writers who can actually tell good stories that ADD, not DETRACT, from the stories.
It's too bad that you can't see that...
What I get from that is that there's a certain kind of writer that you don't like, and that you think those writers shouldn't be allowed to write in normal comic books only because they repulse you. How can you be so intolerant?
