Right, there are Elseworlds too...

There are two choices: either it's in continuity or it's not.

If the writer wants to do a story set IN continuity then he has to respect what came before, not whinne about how something that happened 10 years earlier can't let him have it HIS way.

These whinners have to accept that they came last, that other people came before them and they can't ignore what they did out of ego, that what they want to do first was already done before.

What if he doesn't want his story to be respected in continuity? Then he can just fuck up? Writers like Morrison care more about telling a good story than in fitting it to a strict continuity.
Writers like Morrison think that sibilings want to fuck each other in the ass, should he be allowed to tell that kind of stories too?

And if a writer doesn't want his story to be in continuity then it doesn't have to be, he can do whatever the fuck he wants with it, but if the story IS in continuity then he better fucking respect it instead of whine about it...

So they can't tell their stories. As simple as that. Your story is brilliant? Whoops, doesn't fit. Too bad.
It's funny that you call them whinners. You're whinning too right now, because there's people that don't respect your precious long time continuity. And, if you don't mind me saying, your reason for whinning is a lot more anal-retentive than theirs.
Do you or don't you understand the difference between stories that are in continuity and those that aren't?

If a writer wants his story to be IN continuity then he has to accept and respect that stories that are similar to his idea may have already been told before.

If he wants it to be outside it then that's his problem.

But YOU made it clear, these writers DON'T want stories that are out of continuity because then they 'don't matter'...

So don't fucking tell me that this is about 'quality' when you know perfectly well that this is about ego!

You're the one that said it, not me. There are Elseworlds but they don't count because then the story doesn't matter, that's a fact.

These whinners want their stories to BE in continuity so that people will talk about them for years and years but they refuse to respect what came before if it's in their way.

Quality has NOTHING to do with this, it's ALL about continuity. They want in and are willing to do and say WHATEVER they want to do it.

Ah, right. It's cosmic event that really happened and rules our lives to this day.

IT'S JUST A FUCKING STORY!
Go back to the Silver Age, when stories didn't have respercutions.

Today they do...

quote:
I just can't accept that there's a guy that defends stories not for good they are, but for how valid they are continuity-wise. If a comic about Superman being made of poo had come after crisis instead of MoS, would you defend that?
I find MoS to be a better story than BR. I would still defend BR if it had come first because there's no reason to create waves now, there's no reason to disrupt the origin when the origin has NOTHING to do with the current problems.

Assumptions.
Facts.

quote:
But it's something that's been covered 100%. The story that told the moment you wanna tell is told second by second. There's no free space. What do you do?
I don't tell my story, I swallow my ego.

Of course, I have NEVER found a story that would fit your criteria...
