The problem, I mean, PROBLEM, is that this CONTINUITY you speak of is too big. Too crowded. When I said making an idea I had for a story an Elseworlds is a problem I didn't mean it in a general way. I meant that the writer wants the idea he had (the example I gave before) to be added to what's been set before. It's his option, he decided to do it that way.
quote:Originally posted by ManofTheAtom: in other words, they don't affect CONTINUITY, which is what the whinners want to do, change what IS continuity to what they WANT continuity to be.
If it were just a matter of telling stories then they should just do it, but it's not, it's a dick contest (another metaphor)...
That's your assumption. I ask again, how's that different from what Byrne did? Crisis aside.
quote:Originally posted by ManofTheAtom: That shows how little you know about what MY version is :)
In MY version of Superman, the character debuts in 1938, grows old (by Kryptonian standards), has children in the 1940's-50's, who in turn have children of their own in the 1970's-90's.
In MY version, you'd be reading about Superman's grandchildren by now, second generation human/Kryptonian hybrids.
If you read my fan fic you'd see that that's exactly what I'm doing... with the ONE exception that the Superman I use in MY version is the one from Man of Steel because I respect and aknowledge that Crisis and MoS happened.
In comics, I find MoS to be the BEST possible versions of the origin of Superman that's ever been done in THIS medium, while in movies the BEST version is the one from the first movie, and on TV the BEST version is the one being done TODAY in Smallville.
OK, that's very cool, you're doing what you want. You're doing things the way you think they should be done. However, not everyone feels the same about that. ...how's all that related to what I said, by the way?
quote:Originally posted by ManofTheAtom: What makes it different is Eddie Berganza, he had to fuck it up and say that BR was the new origin based solely on the fact that of all the bs he's edited in the last five this is the one that's sold the most.
Oh. I was wrong. You got into Berganza's head, not Waid's. Sorry.
quote:Originally posted by ManofTheAtom: If that were the case then the only thing left to do would be to RE WRITE the original story and incorporate MY plot with the original one and have them run side by side.
You mean... change the story??? Disrespect continuity??? Holy Moses, that's outrageous!
