    Ah, maybe I missed that. Do you remember which entry it was in? Or do you have the quote handy?

    LoR is what started me wondering about that, but from memory the best i could do was infer it from what the participants said. i don't recall any hard numbers being discussed.

    i have an (almost totally) unsupported suspicion that was more down to editorial cold-feet than actual palpable backlash. i think mackie, deflaco and others have alluded to their belief that ben...

    Thanks for this, as someone who cut their creative teeth on Ben Reilly fanfic back in the day, I'm curious to check these out.

    I hear you. I mean, no industry is the same as the ones we grew up with...so I don't begrudge Marvel for doing what they think is best

    To a point. There are times when I think decisions aren't...

    Yup, though it was muddy even in the clone saga. Maximum Clonage had Kaine remember learning to become Peter for months before his rejection by the Jackal...which at least implies some memory stuff...

    I answered a question.

    And I'd say there's a difference between a character being "ruined" and my own enjoyment of them being exhausted. Which is why I've been careful at every step to qualify...

    Most likely why I'm more or less outside of mainstream comics these days, because you're not wrong: it's only really in soap opera that a character can go through that many heel-turns and 180s...

    That's why I specified "brand"

    They can absolutely "fix" Ben. Reboot him, remake him, send him to a Reiki doctor. I hope they do and I hope it's an enjoyable experience for those who read it.

    i empathise with the sentiment and i'd wish a series like this a lot of luck...but ben as a "brand" is broken for me no matter which universe or alt. even a total 616 reboot wouldn't bring me back.

    that's different to his clone saga depiction.

    do you recall where you read that? or was he given them at some point?

    in the clone saga years, it was clear kaine didn't have the legit memories. he started to show signs of clone degeneration causing the jackal to reject kaine before he was to be implanted with...

    not to be cynical in the holiday season, but ben's "brand" is broken for me. whatever happens with the character, i won't be around for it.

    i'm a little like you in that i prefer the classic kaine and find it harder to forgive him for being a murderer and the idea of a "spider bros" book is still just weird af to me

    i'm unsure if either us are getting worked up?

    other than questioning how that particular fallacy applies, i'm curious what proof we have that dan fudges his stories? what is this based on? who...

    there's disinfo or misinfo on the internet. there's urban legends and telephone game. and there's also facts and takes with multiple verified sources. it's a wild place but it's not all bullshit.

    that's not how the fallacy of appeal to authority works

    i'm not taking advice on how to cure cancer from dan. or how to service my car.

    How would you define that outside of video taped surveillance? Would working at Marvel maybe count towards it?

    It's pretty typical when someone attempts to debunk or balance out conspiracy theory/urban legend. Believers tend to double down

    What I've noticed in shared universes is that authors/writers will sometimes put in an "offer" into the story for the IP or future creatives to take or leave. Often the offer is just a plot hook with...

    I can say with confidence as someone who has worked in a related industry that some of the interpretations that the audience become certain of ... are never what the creative team intended.
