The premise of the show is believable. It's the fact that he's so blatantly a drug addict that makes it unbelievable.


Yes people have already mentioned Urkel before.

A lot of ideas sound better on paper than reality.

This reminds me of Ace Attorney. We never really question how all of Phoenix's clients just happen to be innocent. It's incredibly convenient.

The same could be said about a lot of characters.

No faith in DC to actually create supporting casts for them, huh?

Why would they suffer? Especially the magic users. In a solo universe, they could actually write out consistent magic systems.

And how popular are they now?

Shared Universe or not, Wonder Woman is still just considered "distaff Superman" by a lot of people. Captain Atom and Shazam are still seen as lesser Supermen. Being...

I was talking about Virtue.

Please tell me you're not just getting my hopes up.

Edit: I should've known it was just so that he could get fridged.:mad:

What about Danny Phantom, Ben 10, the Power Rangers, etc?

But Batman had those types of stories even before the shared universe. Having the explanation constantly be Kryptonian science makes the universe feel smaller rather than larger.

I was hoping it'd be Virtue (Ethan Edwards). It's not happening, but I can still hope.

So MJ's role is to have Peter whine to her. That's a sad existence. No wonder she wanted to leave.

It would've been fun if it was Virtue, but I doubt Marvel even remembers him.

They're still framed in reality. Otherwise, how can you tell what's weird and what's not?

I think the opposite.

The main benefit of a solo universe is that you can build on each hero's mythology without having to worry about whether it fits into someone else's. They're essentially able...

That sums up literally all characters in fiction. It's a meaningless insult.

It's also a setting so far removed from reality. It's why Cosmic settings are so hit-or-miss.

You have something to contribute?

The inclusion of the Pantheon in the new Maestro comic is weird.

If they cared about the world enough to try and stop the Hulk, why did they let the world get destroyed in the first place?

Considering how you basically described how the Nazis stole the swastika, I have to agree with you on this.

I think you're just talking about the massive amount of hanging plot threads (which are understandably annoying). That's something independent of "season"-style writing.



Like this hasn't...

That sounds like All-Star Batman and Robin. Not a fan.

It ultimately comes from how the relationship evolves over time.

What annoyed the crap out of me with a lot of CW show relationships (not strictly romance) is how the writers love to reset...

At least we're getting rid of that stupid myth that just because Punisher isn't police that his actions are suddenly ok.
