I enjoy it. I'm just capable of enjoying something different too. Unlike you, I like variety. This is not wether I like or don't like one version of Superman: I pretty much like them all. This is about you sticking to one version and insulting people who don't like it, or dare saying it should be left behind like all the other versions.
Quote: Sure he didn't, he only had his own series (or was it a mini? I'm not sure).
Betcha it was a mini, if it existed.
Quote: You do understand that Superman splitting into different versions was a story arc and never intended to be permanent, right? It was a homage to those four different eras, nothing more.
I know. I was meant to be temporary then. I hope it isn't now.
Quote: It took what worked, it left out what didn't.
BR does the opposite, it takes what didn't work and brings it back.
FOR YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU. What works or doesn't work FOR YOOOOOOOOOOOU. You're not God.
Quote: The idea of Superman being like a God who came from a futuristic Earth didn't work, if it had then that's what they would have done in the movie and John Byrne wouldn't have been allowed to change it.
The fact that the movie did change it and so did Byrne makes it clear that this idea doesn't work.
...eh?
Quote: If that were at all true, in any way, we would have never gotten into any kind of argument at all.
The fact that we do says different...
It does? So I guess I'm really lying. And I wasn't even aware of it. Hey, maybe Mark Waid is paying me to say this.
Seriously, this proves that the quick assumptions you make aren't (gasp!) always correct.
Quote: The fact that you think that Superman should be surrounded by more Kryptonians gives off the impression that you prefer the outdated Silver Age notion of the character, which is EXACTLY what we've been getting since 99...
I don't think he SHOULD, or he SHOULDN'T, for me it works both ways. I'm open to change, I'm open to nostalgia (be it 60's or 80's nostalgia) but I'm not open to hypocresy.
Quote: If a real Crisis happens before then (and not a hack job like this year) then I see no reason for MoS to keep going, not if the characterS origins get retold from the start.
I would expect things to be different, not the same old crap that only a 70 year old, toothless Mark Waid or a 50 year old KKK might enjoy...
And obviously it'd be different from Man of Steel. Different. From. Man. Of. Steel. Aren't those words killing you inside?
Quote: Sure it doesn't... BR is really the best story EVER and nothing on it is in any way derivative of what came before
Oh, and Alan Moore changed Supreme into Batman, not Superman, I just interpretated it that way
You're actually saying that your opinions are undoubtable truths? You're fucking insane.
