Quote: I'm Not Mister Mxypltk said: 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.
Let's say it doesn't. Who says it has to?
Comics are its own entertainment medium with its own rules.
Quote: I'm Not Mister Mxypltk said: 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.
And there are a lot of comics that do leave a mark and that doesn't mean they're bad.
Comics that become memorable do it for a reason.
Those that don't do it because they aren't worth remembering.
Quote: I'm Not Mister Mxypltk said: 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.
Crisis didn't erase the past to make way for good stories.
(and I just know someone is gonna pick on that to say how much the post Crisis stories sucked...)
Crisis erased the past to FIX it, because it was broken.
It had been watered down.
Superman went from being the only Kryptonian to being one of millions.
That went against the main concept of the character, it needed to be fixed.
Killing all those other Kryptonians to make Superman the only one again would have been lame.

I have news for you, I'm not the only one that didn't like BR.
A guy over at the DC board opened a thread thanking Mark Waid for helping him drop the Superman comics and save his money...
Many people have opened similar threads.
The BR fans are in the minority... you don't have to take my word, go to the DC board and see for yourself.
Comics are like a Rorschach test; everyone has a different opinion on what they are and can be...
