    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.

    In Garth Ennis Hitman the characters just spent time in pub "It's that time of year again. Once we would have worried if sun went out for three days. Now we treat it like an annual holiday while we wait for big guys to sort it out."

    To be fair...as Buried Alien argued earlier...I don't think DC have used Crisis label that much. They maybe have overdone regular annual event. I certainly feel that way, but then I don't like big event comics.

    When something that is a crisis happens regularly, it's called normal.

    And my post was kind of rhetorical. I love comic lore.
