hey i dindt know if you remembered the last time i said i stopped reading this stuff, but recently i've been wanting an update on the world of writers and what they were up to, so i'd ask people.
all of it was negative, frightening, retarded, or just massively disappointing.
apparently spiderman is so incredibly... fucked up.
like, i dont even want to be reminded.
but the rub here is that i've asked around quite a bit and all those times the guy who described just how awful the books were failed to impress upon me that the same guy was credible. he'd usually come off looking as bad as the book because the details he'd choose to point out was just as allegedly lame as the comic... what would happen in the comics would be awful, no doubt, but... the people describing this to me seemed sexually aroused by the magnitude of their own contempt.
i'm not saying your speil has really gone this far, but it was probably just as badly written as the batman book was.
they keep repeating his age. obviously deliberate, probably meant to impress how emotionally fucked up his life is about to get. and yeah, it fails, but it's not disastrous. that last line could sum up how i feel about this whole article, actually.
all these desicions failed in some capacity, but you just laugh too fucking hard at it so that i think it's really not so bad when placed in the actual story.
wayne's been actually watching a trapeze artist, cops hit a woman justt o show how corrupt they are, batman tells the kid he's in a friggin war. batman's a rude, vain, and petulant guy... this all sounds like a direction that just isn't liked, or sometimes just escapes credibility, not really as hilariously disastrous.
if "i'm the goddamn batman" has been such a rousing catcall, that's actually really sad of you guys. it's cheesy, but it's kinda funny. maybe. i dont know how you guys really reacted to the true dreck that was the star wars prequel dialogue, but i imagine it borders on manic violence if this minor incident actually gets you going.
"that's queer"
"shut up"
wayne named his car the batmobile. the kid's twelve (in case we forgot), that sounds like a genuine reaction from a snot like him. and again, it's kinda funny.
the milk carton/time problems
so what so what so what SO WHAT. just say you got cheated out of a few dollars by dragging it out so much. gleefully poking at it as if it were a major flaw just sounds so obtuse and anal.
dialogue/time inconsistency.
i bet you're not a chris claremont guy.
i petered out near the superman bit, because you lost me by then. all i kept thinking was "who friggin cares."
it just struck me that all the derision was completly out of proportion to the bad quality of the book, and how you decided to point that out was frustrating and inane.
and i was all ready to laugh with you too.
dont hate me. i liked your other aticle
