Quote: ManofTheAtom said: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
A) Continuity in comics is A LOT more convulted than continuity on books or TV series. How many series of books or shows are there that interconnect with each other? How many are suppoused to form a coherent world with each other? How many official Sherlock Holmes books are there? How many official Superman books are there? How many TV shows and movies constitute the world Captain Kirk lives in? How many comics books constitute the world Superman live in? b) Given the right circumstances, a story where parts of Holmes' history are ignored could become a good story. I'm not going to give examples because I can't think of any right now, but there a lot of cases in literature when continuity between a series of books isn't respected 100%.
Quote: 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.
Crisis. MoS, your bible, came from Crisis.
