I guess with what little I've heard about it, I can agree with that.

MoS is the origin that was published after Crisis and the one that makes more sense.
You'll have to explain to me why it makes sense and why all the others don't.

Despite your references to me as a silver age maniac in the Supreme thread, my readings of Superman prior 1990 have been selective, as that was when I started reading comic books regularly.

And from what I've seen none of you can come up with even ONE thing about it that needs to be modernized or updated. It does seem that the ONLY thing you guys have against MoS is that Byrne turned Krypton from a futuristic Earth into an alien world and you don't like it... that and the lack of additional Kryptonians...
Well, firstly, don't lump me into any group. I've yet to specifically comment on or suggest anything in relation to the origin of Superman, so, for the time being, you don't know what my views or opinions on the subject are.

Frankly, I don't have many. I like to read good stories. I don't really give a shit about "continuity" aside from it's importance to those good stories. I think that if a story is well done and makes sense, it doesn't need to be set in any kind of timeline. The realm of fiction is far too massive and unexplored to limit it like that.
