    Default Does the word "Crisis" even matter now?

    At this point, the heroes should just take it in stride.

    It's like an annual event now. You can't call something a crisis if it happens all the time.

    May as well call it **** That Happens Regularly on Infinite Earths.

    "It's like an annual event now"?!?
    Please give examples of each of the ten events that had the term "Crisis" in their names that took place over the past ten years.

    Well, is there a point to your thread?

    If you're going to BE the one to complain about something, you REALLY need to use EXAMPLES to try and make your point.

    It was to engage discussion. At this point I am wondering if anyone can make words larger than you can.

    Anyone else care to tell me what a jerk I am?

    *meekly raises hand*

    Just kidding. I somewhat agree that universe threatening events are something the DCU would take in stride by now, but then again a threat to the universe is still a threat to the universe and is a big deal no matter what.

    At one point, if you said "the Crisis," people knew what you meant. Now it's, "Oh, which crisis? Infinite? Identity? Final? Finite Finale?"

    And thank god I didn't' REALLY exaggerate and say bajillion.

    Around the time of FINAL CRISIS, DC made a decision to no longer title their annual crossover events CRISIS. Indeed, FINAL CRISIS was the last one to officially bear that title.

    Bear in mind too that CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS was the culmination of all the CRISIS events that began during the First DC Multiverse era (which started with CRISIS ON EARTH-ONE/CRISIS ON EARTH-TWO in 1963). Even in 1985, a DC summer crossover event bearing the title CRISIS was nothing new, but had been an annual tradition for over twenty years. After COIE, in fact, DC laid off the title until ZERO HOUR: CRISIS IN TIME a decade later, and the title CRISIS remained in scant use after that point until IDENTITY CRISIS, INFINITE CRISIS, and FINAL CRISIS appeared in a five-year span during the 2000s.

    This was more in line with the discussion I envisioned, but now I don't care anymore.

    Cool screen name, by the way.

    It's mostly branding anyway. They're not all capital C crises.
