Quote: ManofTheAtom said: Did you hear about the three-way crossover between the Smalvlille comic book, the Smallville website and... what was the third one? The TV show or another issue of the comic?
I don't remember the third one, but either way, crossovers between multiple media CAN happen, and it happens more often than you think.
Even if that was true (I don't think it is, I think the Smallville thing is a rarity), there's NO way the amount of stories reaches the quantity of some comics.
Quote: And in 99.99% of those cases those stories don't leave a mark, they come and go.
Remember Young Sherlock Holmes?
Awesome movie (one of my favorites) that didn't go anywhere.
That movie was the equivalent of an out of continuity comic.
No one involved with the movie said "this happened! This is cannon! Ignore the novels, this is the way it happened from now on!!". They just told their fun little movie and that was it, period.
So?! You still enjoyed it. It was still a good movie. It's still worth it. It's still there to be enjoyed. How is that "not going everywhere"? There's lots of good movies, shows and comics that are stand-alone and that doesn't make them less good.
Quote: Yeah, so?
Crisis erased the past. Crisis was the exception to what you quoted because that was its purpose, to clean the barnacles, the chains, and the crap, to make way for the new.
BR doesn't have anything similar to it.
If it did, then MAYBE more people would have accepted it.
This is what you said before: "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 erased the past to clear the way for new stories. And that's it. Birthright isn't erasing the past? Hmm, maybe that's it's problem.
Quote: Byrne had Crisis, as did Perez and Miller.
What does Waid have?
Eddie Berganza, franchise killer.
Not so much of a comparison...
But they're doing basically the same thing. Difference is, you don't like it. So nobody should.
