Your DC-Only controversial opinions (part II)...

[Raijin]

Dan Didio is so overhated that it’s beyond ridiculous now. It has fans thinking they know the business when in fact they should stay in their lanes. No you wouldn’t be able to do better if you were in charge. Imagine being so arrogant. And the fact that folks are so disrespectful towards this man because of FICTIONAL CHARACTERS just makes it worse.

Bruce Wayne/Clark Kent's Generation needs to be allowed to grow old and die.

Current Justice League should be made of Dick's generation.

I would love this so much. The universe feels so stagnant.

Golden age thinking and playing to fandom tribalism over synergy are steering DC into a ditch and certain "fans" are contributing to the problem.

I asked you before, I never got an answer so I'll ask again. What is Golden Age thinking?

[reis9999]

totally agree
one of the mistakes of the rebirth/new 52 is sideling dick in the superhero community
He was great with team dynamics..

The only thing that Batman is the best at in the DCU is paranoia.

I agree. I like Batman, but he’s overrated.

[reis9999]

I did not like young justice (the new comic) and always thought that conner was a kinda of flat character.
Also, wtf bendis did with john kent (f*****)

Golden age thinking basically is a term for romanticizing the past or a "simpler time". What's old = best, what's new or present = can't compare. More broad and less personal than nostalgia. If a old dude is crowing about how great the 70s were that's nostalgia, him crowing to his grandson and his grandson starts going on about "oh man I was born in the wrong generation" that's golden age thinking. Like when people started swing dancing in the 90s. Nostalgia's like squares and Gold Age thinking's like rectangles.

But what does that have to do with the Golden Age? MajorHoy is pretty much the only one who brings up the Golden Age more often than not.

I was born '98 started reading around 2002. Pretty much all the comics I grew up with and loved were made before I was born. So that line of thinking and what I like is wrong just because it's older? I'm glad I was born when I was because I have instant access to all these stories without waiting.

And the moment you do that DC dies right along with them. Giving the spotlight to a bunch of underdeveloped and in a lot of cases surface level deep characters is a very bad idea, especially when a lot of the focus put on DC and DC’s relevance comes from those characters that you want gone. Now I’m not saying don’t put them on league or try and raise there statues and importance, but removing an entire generation(and screwing over there fans) for another that let’s be honest haven’t proven themselves out side of two maybe three characters is ridiculous.

DC does not have a reformed villain archetype and has no idea how to properly do a heel-face turn. This is because they attempt redeem characters based on popularity or writer bias.

I like the in-continuity animated movies.

Aging out and replacing the current top-tier heroes would allow for some great development for the DCU. Until the second-tier heroes reach the same level of sagnation.

Rinse and repeat this and you will have a continuity too far removed from the ideas and characters that made it popular in the first place.

It’s a nice idea, but people get attached to characters. What happen when, following your logic, when Dick’s group age out and now it’s Damien’s generation’s turn, and now Dick’s fans don’t want to give him but.

Basically, I see as make new, but keep old. It’s both/and, not either/or.

Not if the next gen took over and they kept that going. I love Dick's gen because they seem to be the only ones who have aged and grown along the heroes. Once they became the next big guys I would expect Tim's gen to take over etc. But this would never happen, it's a nice thought though.

And that's not accounting for the people who probably still want to read about the OG!'s preceding Dick's group.

I think a true and continuing ongoing narrative in a comic book universe is a cool and novel concept, if not one I think the Big Two could ever reasonably pull off.
