DC Comics

[Zbu Manowar]

I don't like Aquaman that much, but I'm not going to call him the stupidest superhero ever. If anything this bad rep comes from the Superfriends cartoon and if you're going to base characterizations off of that, you might as well accept the Adam West Batman series as well.

Does this deconstructionist attitude towards comics of old just annoy the fuck out of everyone else? Just because people started getting nervous about liking guys in tights with goofy costumes fight evil and are over twenty years old doesn't mean every comic book hero has to be made relevant and can no longer fight 'goofy' criminals or wear leather and shit. There's a place for dark comics and also a place for typical comics. Just because a bunch of people are afraid they'll be looked down upon for liking the blue/yellow costumes of the X-Men because they're nearing thirty doesn't mean every superhero pre-1995 is some fruit. Geez.
