Quote: Captain Cranky said: 1.Nothing fictional is sacred. A story having been written years ago makes no difference.
Depending on the medium, right?
I haven't seen anyone deny that James Kirk was the Captain of the Enterprise or that Dr. Watson was Sherlock Holmes' partner.
Seems to me that the above quote only applies to comics and not fiction in general
Quote: Captain Cranky said:2.You want every current writer to not explore new ideas, to set aside their own egos? Shyeah, that'll happen.
I never said that.
New ideas don't have to come at the cost of the PAST.
The past DOESN'T have to be re written to explore new ideas.
Quote: Captain Cranky said:If I were a comics writer, there would be nothing I'd want to do more than leave my mark on a beloved character, continuity be damned!
And for you to leave your mark you have to piss over someone elses mark? Erase it even?
Quote: Captain Cranky said:I do think that a new Crisis is probably neccessary. A lot of crappy continuity needs to be broomed. Too bad I can't think of a single current writer who could do it right.
Because none of them are up to the task of doing it.
The first Crisis came out of the need to streamline the universe.
To do another one out of ego is the most selfish of reasons.
Comics are like a Rorschach test; everyone has a different opinion on what they are and can be...
