The Amazing Spider-Man

[Kitsune]

Did you know "ye" is actually an archaic form of "the," not "you"?

Actually Ye is the. Originally the Y shape was meant to be a thorn and represent the "Th" sound.

[Harlekin]

Actually Ye is the. Originally the Y shape was meant to be a thorn and represent the "Th" sound.
Isn't that what Corp said? :confused:

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, he was more specific.

[Kitsune]

Miss post

[SpideyInATree]

SIAT, how do you live with such horrible tastes?

I don't have horrible taste.

And since you brought it up, god damn, your lady tasted nasty last night. Tell her to clean herself up for me next time, all right?

[Not Jake]

oh, SIAT.:csad:

[Darthphere]

I don't have horrible taste.

And since you brought it up, god damn, your lady tasted nasty last night. Tell her to clean herself up for me next time, all right?

oh, SIAT.:csad:


Man, I've seen some lame comebacks on here, but this one, takes the mother****ing cake.

[SpideyInATree]

Wasn't a comeback. Seriously...tell her to clean herself up. I can still smell her from here.

[Darthphere]

Please, just stop.

[SpideyInATree]

Stop what? I didn't even start anything. You're the one who has to make the smart ass comment. You want me to stop? Keep you lame ass comments to yourself, *******.

[Darthphere]

Seriously, you're coming off as extremely lame. Just stop.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, SIAT, this is just kind of tasteless. He insulted your taste and then you insulted the taste of his girlfriend's vagina. Do you see how there's an unnecessary escalation there?

[PhotoJones]

Seriously, you're coming off as extremely lame. Just stop.

SIAT is extremely lame, though. :confused:

[Not Jake]

I like SIAT:csad:

Also I don't agree with Corp on the unnecessary escalation comment

but I do agree with Darthphere about the misguided lameness of the insult:csad:

[Darthphere]

I like SIAT:csad:

You're stuck in a hard place Jake.

[Darthphere]

Yeah, SIAT, this is just kind of tasteless. He insulted your taste and then you insulted the taste of his girlfriend's vagina. Do you see how there's an unnecessary escalation there?

I mean yeah, if SIAT went "Well you like Beechen!" than that's a perfectly valid response.

[PhotoJones]

I mean yeah, if SIAT went "Well you like Beechen!" than that's a perfectly valid response.

Again, this Beechen guy intrigues me. Corp hates him with a passion and you love him. I've heard Corp's side. What's your take?

[TheCorpulent1]

Darthphere doesn't love him. He thinks his Robin run was decent but nothing special. He just likes to torment me by invoking Beechen's filthy name.
I like SIAT:csad:

Also I don't agree with Corp on the unnecessary escalation comment

but I do agree with Darthphere about the misguided lameness of the insult:csad:
That's because you're all about unnecessary escalations. I bet you built an escalator that goes up for a couple feet and then brings you right back down to the same floor in your house. :up:

[Darthphere]

Again, this Beechen guy intrigues me. Corp hates him with a passion and you love him. I've heard Corp's side. What's your take?

I don't love him at all, I just don't think he's as bad as people online want you to think. His main fault was taking an extreme fan favorite character, and writing an extremely crappy story with her.

[PhotoJones]

Is it wrong to call him the Chuck Austen of DC?

[Darthphere]

Is it wrong to call him the Chuck Austen of DC?

I would say yes, others like Corp would probably say no.

[TheCorpulent1]

I wouldn't say yes, either, actually. He's far, far worse than Austen. :up:

[PhotoJones]

Dayum.

[Darthphere]

Corp caught feelings.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm like a feelings mitt where Beechen is concerned.

[PhotoJones]

I need to read Beechen's Robin, STAT.

[TheCorpulent1]

Go for it. Just don't pay for it.

[PhotoJones]

iWon't. iPromise.

[TheCorpulent1]

i'M glad.

[Norman Osborn]

Go for it. Just don't pay for it.


I pay for it....and I like it!!!.......














The Robin comic.....we were talking about the Robin comic!!!!!

[venom892]

So SIAT can you explain why you don't like the marriage?Also Another concern of mine is If the marriage is erased it doesn't mean MJ doesn't know That Spidey
is peter.In fact she knew before they even dated.So how will they address that?Hey maybe that night inspires here to be Jackpot.:o

They'll probably retcon punch MJ knowing Peter's secret.

[spideyboy_1111]

I take back everything nice I ever said about him and apologize in advance in case I forget and say nice things about him in the future. :dry:

if it helps, I like alot of everything... theres honestly prob not a genre i don't like other then rap and heavy metal... that and most male country singers, only thing that turns me on to yellow card is the lyrics and the violin...

I've explained it dozens and dozens of times.

The only thing I can tell you to do is buy back issues or the 40 years Spider-Man CD-Rom. Read the stories before MJ and Peter Parker get married and the years building up to it.

It didn't make sense from a story standpoint. Stan Lee wanted them married for his comic strip in the newspapers around the country. So, that's what happened.

And ever since all the Spider-Man writers have had to write stories around Peter Parker being married to this girl, who quite honestly, they never truly understood why he was married to her.

But you can thank J.M. DeMatteis for making the marriage mean anything. If it wasn't for him nobody would probably care about the marriage at all.

[BrianWilly]

He's married to her because he's in love with her and people in love tend to be get married at some point. What's to understand? He's not the only comicbook character to have developed a relationship with someone that turned into marriage. If people have trouble writing him married, then maybe people should stop writing him as if he's still the same character from freaking forty years ago.

[TheCorpulent1]

God, I hate Yellowcard's infernal violin. It's like they think the inherent awesomeness of a violin can overcome the awe-inspiring ****tiness of their ****ty quote-unquote **** music. But it can't. It just makes them look like they're desperate for artistic validity. I hate that ****.

You say that like it's a bad thing. :confused: If it weren't for DeMatteis, Kraven would've remained a second-rate villain. If it weren't for DeMatteis, Harry would've just been a clone of his father. If it weren't for a number of writers, a number of significant things in comics wouldn't be significant.

I saw Yellowcard live. I didn't know who they were then. They played a festival, and I went with a girl I was interested in at the time. Yellowcard sucks. The guy with the faux-hawk that plays the violin doesn't do **** when there's no accompaniment by violin. He just stands there looking emo.

Hahaha, Link.

[PhotoJones]

Do you mean, "Whoa awesome, Link"?

[TheCorpulent1]

No. Partly because I really laughed when I saw that and partly because I'd never forget the comma after "whoa" in that sentence.

[PhotoJones]

:cmad:

[TheCorpulent1]

:heart:

[PhotoJones]

The new avatar rules, by the way. It reminded me my chore for the day is to pick up Dini's first few issues of Detective Comics and see what's what. :up:

[TheCorpulent1]

Do it. I totally watched the Batman Beyond movie yesterday and it's still my third-favorite Batman movie after Mask of the Phantasm and Batman Begins. :up:

[PhotoJones]

They better not disappoint me. I'm expecting what you described what with Dini writing it like the animated series. Someone on the DC boards said that it's sort of like an anthology book, with Dini doing some issues and other writers handling others, all of which are very episodic. That's what's got me worried. I'm sure it's good, but I want a really good Batman book that matters in continuity.

[TheCorpulent1]

Dini's doing the lion's share of the issues, but he's also overseeing Countdown, so he has a few fill-ins. Those aren't too great. Just look for issues that say "Dini" on the cover and you'll be fine. They really are episodic--stand-alones or 2-issue arcs for the most part--so it's not like you'll miss any important bits of continuity by skipping the fill-ins.

To be honest, if you're looking for the Batman book that's really influencing continuity at the moment, you'd be better off reading Morrison's Batman. He's the mover and shaker of the Batman comics right now. Dini's kind of operating in his own world. The stories are in continuity, they just don't have as far-reaching consequences as Morrison's.

[PhotoJones]

But this isn't like, some backbunner Batman book is it? I mean, you know how you feel about picking up SMLMJ because it's not 616 continuity. Detective Comics is the original Batman book, I know. But, I literally have not read a DCU Batman book in years. A lot could've changed.

[TheCorpulent1]

Not in Detective. If you're familiar with the Batman cartoon, you'll have no trouble reading Dini's Detective Comics. There's maybe one thing I can think of that you'd need to have at least heard of the events of another major DC comic in order to fully appreciate, but I can easily fill you in on that, and the DC Stupid Question Thread exists for a reason.

[PhotoJones]

Good enough. I've been craving some Batman stories lately. Dini doing BTAS in DCU form sounds like the best option.

[TheCorpulent1]

It's been pretty great. If you're worried about how little Detective Comics affects the rest of the DC universe, Batman's pretty ubiquitous anyway, so if you're starting to read some more DC comics, you'll probably run into him all over.

[PhotoJones]

I doubt I'll be reading much besides this, JLA and Dixon's Robin. I just looked at the back issues and saw there's a Zatanna story. Dini writing Zatanna in a Batman comic sounds perfect.

[TheCorpulent1]

That's the story you may have a question about, but it's easy to answer. And McDuffie was one of the main writers for JL/JLU, and I've already heard his first issue (the Wedding Special) compared to Joe Kelly's JLA, which was excellent. So you should get your Batman-in-the-DC-universe-at-large fill from JLA, at least.

[PhotoJones]

Sweet. Thanks for the info, as well as the offer to answer questions when/if I have them.

[TheCorpulent1]

No problem. DC's finally getting its act together after the horrors of One Year Later, so it's a good time to hop onboard.

Also, if you find you like those comics and want a little more of the fun side of DC, I'd recommend Blue Beetle. Keith Giffen and Cully Hamner started it off well, and John Rogers and Rafael Albuquerque have picked up the spirit Giffen and Hamner started with and made it even better. It's honestly one of the most fun comics I read right now. I don't think about it much when I'm not reading it, but when I see it on the racks, I'm ecstatic.

[PhotoJones]

Wow. Like, Invincible fun?

[Darthphere]

Better than Invincible IMHO.

[The Leaguer]

A lot better.

[PhotoJones]

Impossible.

[The Leaguer]

It's pretty easy, actually.

[Darthphere]

Impossible is possible.

[PhotoJones]

Not when it's Invincible.

[The Leaguer]

I read a lot that's better than Invincible.

[PhotoJones]

I'm sure you do. So do I. None of those books are classic superhero books, though.

[The Leaguer]

Actually, most of the books I read that are better than Invincible are super-hero books.

[PhotoJones]

Good for you. :up:

[The Leaguer]

You're god damned right.

[PhotoJones]

I'm always right. :)

[The Leaguer]

Keep agreeing with me and you'll keep it up.

[PhotoJones]

That's not the general consensus on the boards. :o

[The Leaguer]

Agreeing with the general consensus on the boards is a sure-fire way to be wrong all the time.

[PhotoJones]

Not when the consensus is about the Leaguer.

[The Leaguer]

See? You're wrong already.

[PhotoJones]

Why do you even post here? Seriously.

[The Leaguer]

Because I'm important.

[Xofenroht]

Because I'm important.


:huh:

[The Leaguer]

The things I say are very baffling.

What's baffling is that you think you're important. :oldrazz:

Whatever, I made GOD. There's no beating that.

Nope, I made YOU too. No one beats the MASTER ARCHITECT!

Sadly Morrison has been a bust for me on Batman.

Haven''t read Detective is it worth it?

[PhotoJones]

Actually...I can now answer that question. ;)

Yes, it's very good. I'm only 4 issues into Dini's run but they've all been great. All done in one stories with excellent pacing, characterization and action.

[deemar325]

Done in one!?

I live for D.I.O.

I'm not a DC guy but I'd try a nice done in one story.

[PhotoJones]

Then Detective Comics is the book for you. :up:

[Darthphere]

Done in one!?

I'm not a DC guy but I'd try a nice done in one story.

Jonah Hex

:up::up::up::up:

Phil Noto rocks the hell out of that book, doesn't he?

[Darthphere]

Indeed he does.

[CantThinkOfAName]

Sadly Morrison has been a bust for me on Batman.

Haven''t read Detective is it worth it?
It's good when Dini writes it, but there's a fill in like every other issue. Quite annoying.

Hopefully no more fill-ins when Dustin Nguyen takes over the art:up:

[CantThinkOfAName]

Actually...I can now answer that question. ;)

Yes, it's very good. I'm only 4 issues into Dini's run but they've all been great. All done in one stories with excellent pacing, characterization and action.

EVentually he starts doing two-part stories, and pretty much ever fill in story is a two-parter, but yeah, no longer than that.

My favorite is when Joker takes Robin for a ride:up:

[PhotoJones]

Indeed he does.

I need to read that.

[CantThinkOfAName]

The Spirit, baby:up::)

[PhotoJones]

I need to read that, too. :(

[deemar325]

Jonah Hex

:up::up::up::up:


Ya know the guy a my local comicshop is always trying to push J Hex on me, I just never really liked the character.

I like westerns better in film form.

[deemar325]

The Spirit, baby:up::)

I'm not gonna read that, I hate the Spirit and not to keen on Will Eisner(Respect what he did for the artform, but other than that f'k him.)

[PhotoJones]

Are you specifically referring to Ebony White?

[CantThinkOfAName]

haha, cuz he's black!:o

[deemar325]

Are you specifically referring to Ebony White?

As good a reason as any.

Thats why I'm no longer a John Bryne fan.

[PhotoJones]

As good a reason as any.

Thats why I'm no longer a John Bryne fan.

John Byrne? What'd he do now?

[deemar325]

You haven't heard about how he used to put little drawings of the 'lazy coon' character in the corner boxes of original penciled cover art.

Plus his whole persona and attitude turns me off, I'm at that level with Bendis now. Usually when I'm done with a creator I never look back I avoid buying any creator own work from them and if they so happen to land a job writing a character I like I drop the book.

[PhotoJones]

Damn, I didn't know Byrne used to do that. I didn't think I could dislike the man any more, but if that's true...damn. You got a link to that?

[deemar325]

CBR

www.comicbookresource.com

the forums or the Comicbook myths section would have it.

[PhotoJones]

A quick search in the CBR Urban Myths column didn't return anything.

[deemar325]

Thats where I originally heard about it, you can try Brynes actually website and do a search he tried to defend his self on the issue there.

[venom892]

Dini's Joker is the best.Also Dini's best story thus far has been a two parter.

[Darthphere]

The "I hate Eisner because of Ebony White" stance is played out, and puts you on the same field as GAH and Memphis/Celldog.

[PhotoJones]

It's still a legit complaint, in my opinion. If you're offended by it, you're offended by it.

[Darthphere]

It's still a legit complaint, in my opinion. If you're offended by it, you're offended by it.

No, it really isn't. Eisner practically lived out the rest of his life apologizing for something to be completely honest here, he had no control over. That's they way things we're done back then, and he was man enough to admit that he was wrong in following that trend and apologized for it until the day he died. People say they want apologies here, but what they really want is to run people into the ground.

I don't think Deemar is trying to run Will Eisner into the ground, though. He mentioned he respects what he's done for comics, but on a personal level, he doesn't like the guy. That's fair, I think.

[Darthphere]

Maybe, maybe not. All I know is, Will Eisner was not the only guy doing it back in the day, and it's funny that he was actually honored for Ebony White by some black groups. Eh, keep hating the man but he's done his fair share or trying to correct the problem.

[Sloth7d]

It's not like he's the first person to get controversy over this. Look at how the Pokemon creators censored Jynx.

Eisner not being the only guy doing doesn't make it right. And I'm not going to tell someone they can't be offended by a blackface character.

[Darthphere]

Eisner not being the only guy doing doesn't make it right. And I'm not going to tell someone they can't be offended by a blackface character.

That's where you and I differ. When you consider how long ago all that was, and the fact that folks like Deemar weren't even born when that happened, yes IMO there's a statue of limitations on things you find offensive and frankly find it ridiculous. I hate Germans because of the Nazi's.

[TheCorpulent1]

It's not like he's the first person to get controversy over this. Look at how the Pokemon creators censored Jynx.
Kind of a different story. Eisner did it when blackface was still culturally acceptable and he still felt bad enough to spend the rest of his career trying to apologize. Pokemon created Jynx, what, seven years ago?

[Sloth7d]

Black face characters are still portrayed today though. Pokemon and DBZ being prime examples.:dry:

[PhotoJones]

That's apples and oranges and you know it. It's more akin to hating the Nazi who tortured your people 50 years ago and has since apologized.

[TheCorpulent1]

More akin, but still not really akin. Eisner didn't torture anybody; he created a fictional character that played to the racial norms of the times.
Black face characters are still portrayed today though. Pokemon and DBZ being prime examples.:dry:
Which just makes them even more horribly wrong than Eisner's creation was in retrospect.

[Sloth7d]

Kind of a different story. Eisner did it when blackface was still culturally acceptable and he still felt bad enough to spend the rest of his career trying to apologize. Pokemon created Jynx, what, seven years ago?

Yeah, which is even worse on them. But even if something is widely accepted would you do it even though it seems wrong? Right now gays are still banned from giving blood in some areas, do you support that?

[Darthphere]

Kind of a different story. Eisner did it when blackface was still culturally acceptable and he still felt bad enough to spend the rest of his career trying to apologize. Pokemon created Jynx, what, seven years ago?

Exactly. I mean what more do you people want? And by you people I'm talking about black people. [/racist]

That's apples and oranges and you know it. It's more akin to hating the Nazi who tortured your people 50 years ago and has since apologized.

Yeah, not really since as far as I know Ebony White didn't jump out the page and cause anyone physical harm.

[PhotoJones]

More akin, but still not really akin. Eisner didn't torture anybody; he created a fictional character that played to the racial norms of the times.

Well, yeah. I'm just saying the man did some offensive things, and regardless of the sincererity of his apologies, his work is still offensive to many.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, which is even worse on them. But even if something is widely accepted would you do it even though it seems wrong? Right now gays are still banned from giving blood in some areas, do you support that?
No. :confused: But if I did and then realized how wrong it was and apologized profusely for decades, I'd hope some people might find it in their hearts to forgive me.

But I didn't even mean to get mixed up in this whole racial thing. Deemar's more than entitled to dislike Eisner on whatever grounds he wants.

[Darthphere]

Well, yeah. I'm just saying the man did some offensive things, and regardless of the sincererity of his apologies, his work is still offensive to many.

Yeah, and all I'm saying is that it happened like 60 years ago and people need to get over it and start trying to fix some real problems TODAY.

[PhotoJones]

Yeah, not really since as far as I know Ebony White didn't jump out the page and cause anyone physical harm.

Darth, don't be an ass. Hating an entire nation today because of the actions of their government and forefathers 60 years ago is not the same as being offended by Eisner's works even after he's tried to make amends.

[Xofenroht]

Darth, don't be an ass. Hating an entire nation today because of the actions of their government and forefathers 60 years ago is not the same as being offended by Eisner's works even after he's tried to make amends.

Besides, the whole problem with blackface or sambo characters wouldn't be a problem without the history of blacks in America prior to and after the fact. I actually struggled with whether or not to honor Eisner as a great or look down on him as a bigot. The conclusion I came to is that he showed remorse and from the looks of it, other creators who wouldn't share such feelings vouch that he's a decent guy. I don't think they'd do that if he were a hardcore racist.

I doubt Will Eisner was or is racist, myself. If anything, I'd charge him with not realizing then what he seems to realize now about the negative feelings characters like Ebony White can elicit.

[Unthinkable]

Exactly. The man have apologized for his errors, and one may forgive him... But he still made an error, and it seems fine to be upset by that.

Unthinkable = logic. :up:

[TheCorpulent1]

Do Pokemon count as animals?

[PhotoJones]

Why wouldn't they? :confused:

[TheCorpulent1]

Because they seem pretty sentient. They can make conscious choices and stuff, like how Pikachu chose not to evolve because he liked himself as he was. I think they're more like really retarded people than animals. Which would make Jake guilty of loving retards, not beastiality.

[PhotoJones]

Is that worse...or better?

[CantThinkOfAName]

That's where you and I differ. When you consider how long ago all that was, and the fact that folks like Deemar weren't even born when that happened, yes IMO there's a statue of limitations on things you find offensive and frankly find it ridiculous. I hate Germans because of the Nazi's.

I guess black people should finally start discussing the stylistic genius of DW Griffith. I mean, everybody loved it back then!

I wonder if Israel's national film archives displays Nazi propaganda films in their complete and utter awesomeness. I mean, ****, have you seen the editing on those works?!

[SpideyInATree]

He's married to her because he's in love with her and people in love tend to be get married at some point. What's to understand? He's not the only comicbook character to have developed a relationship with someone that turned into marriage. If people have trouble writing him married, then maybe people should stop writing him as if he's still the same character from freaking forty years ago.

No, really? Wow, I didn't know that. People who are in love...tend to get married. Holy schnikes you've just changed my life, BrianWilly! Here, I thought that when you fall in love with a girl you slit her throat and toss her in a lake! WOW!!!!! Eye opener. Thanks, man...you just saved lives!!! :wow:

But seriously...some guy asked me to explain and I explained it. The marriage shouldn't have happened. Peter Parker, during the time in the comics, wasn't necessarily FULLY IN LOVE with MJ. The relationship could have been developed a little more before getting married. Just like really young couples who rush into marriage because they THINK they are in love. But later on down the road as things develop they weren't really meant for each other, they just met each other too young. Not everything is so black and white, you know.

And I also explained that J.M. DeMatteis, during the Kraven's Last Hunt storyline helped make the marriage mean something more than just having them get married for the sake of Stan Lee's comic strip. There have been writers who have handled it very well, J.M. DeMatteis being the main writer, but in my opinion I still don't like the way they were married and it still never made much sense.

[SpideyInATree]

You say that like it's a bad thing. :confused: If it weren't for DeMatteis, Kraven would've remained a second-rate villain. If it weren't for DeMatteis, Harry would've just been a clone of his father. If it weren't for a number of writers, a number of significant things in comics wouldn't be significant.

It's not a bad thing. If it weren't for J.M. DeMatteis writing Kraven's Last Hunt most of the people who, right now, are all for Peter staying married probably wouldn't be. The guy gave life to the marriage where there was none.

And I know all of that other stuff already. I've been reading Spider-Man since 1988 on a regular basis. I know my stuff. I just don't have that traditionalist view of how Spider-Man should be. I like to see the guy go on new adventures instead of doing the same old crap over and over again.

[BrianWilly]

You want him to have new adventures by reverting back to a status quo from decades ago? Sounds like, in a lot of ways, you're more traditionalist than a lot of people.But seriously...some guy asked me to explain and I explained it. The marriage shouldn't have happened. Peter Parker, during the time in the comics, wasn't necessarily FULLY IN LOVE with MJ. The relationship could have been developed a little more before getting married. Just like really young couples who rush into marriage because they THINK they are in love. But later on down the road as things develop they weren't really meant for each other, they just met each other too young. Not everything is so black and white, you know.

DeMatteis, during the Kraven's Last Hunt storyline helped make the marriage mean something more than just having them get married for the sake of Stan Lee's comic strip. There have been writers who have handled it very well, J.M. DeMatteis being the main writer, but in my opinion I still don't like the way they were married and it still never made much sense.What does the manner of their marriage have anything whatsoever to do with their life after they got married?? You yourself freely declare that there are writers who handle the marriage very well. But you still don't like it because you don't like the story written decades ago about them being married in the first place? I mean, again, you talk about moving forward, but everything you've said seems caught up in the past.

You know why so many people even fear the idea of the marriage just being retcon-punched away? Because Quesada has stated, numerous times and very candidly, that the reason he wants to do away with it is because if he had his way, everything would just revert back to the heyday of Peter being a wide-eyed teenager with his teenage problems. Basically? The exact same character from forty years ago. If that's exactly what you want then, great, whatever, more power to you. But don't call it anything other than what it is, which is a massive fcking regression of epic proportions.

Here's another eye-opening epiphany: there are going to be writers who make Spider-Man stories suck ass whether or not he's married. Making him single is not The Magic Solution to making his stories Magically better; there are going to be great Spider-Man writers and horrible Spider-Man writers regardless.

Y'know what...here's what's actually going to happen. I'ma spell it out for everyone. Peter and MJ are going to be separated, and then every single freaking writer on his books are going to be writing stories about them getting back. Oh, they won't actually get back together, but they'll be teasing the hell out of it...just like they've been teasing their separation for the last seven or eight years. Years and years of Spider-Man stories will be bogged down by will-they-or-won't-they dramas of a Peter/MJ reunion. Writers love to write about that damned forbidden fruit, the one thing that they shouldn't have. It's the exact reason why Gwen Stacy still gets teasingly reintroduced all the time in every single alternate reality and every single slim opportunity. "What if Peter and Gwen got back together?" "What if Peter and MJ got back together?" "What if MJ died?" "What if Gwen came back from the grave?" And what if it did happen? What if Gwen really come back and get together with Pete? Of course, the same exact writers would start to tease MJ's return again. The drama of what shouldn't happen is exactly what drove so many haphazard stories over the last few years. Hell, it's exactly what's driving the One More Day story right now!

Again...getting rid of the marriage is not the great and mighty genius solution to the problems of this book. All it is is the same static dance that the series has been dancing for years and years. I mean, for the love of Buffy, preliminary rumors of the upcoming story tells us that they might get rid of the marriage with a freaking magic spell. You would prefer that over distateful memories of a rushed marriage?

[Kitsune]

Yes. It's a sculpture of limitations.

Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.

I've seen a couple episodes. I've heard people praise the writing a lot, and it was genuinely funny and occasionally witty, but I just wasn't interested enough in anything else in the show to keep watching.

[moraldeficiency]

wow, well we are are two different wave lengths. Ten minutes into watching an episode with my girl I stood up and yelled at the tv, "do these people ever, ever, ever shut the hell up. How can they breathe?" then walked out and have not watched a bit since. I thought it was one of the worst shows I've ever seen.

[TheCorpulent1]

They are a bunch of motormouths, but to be fair, dialogue is really the primary storytelling vehicle in drama. Plus, there's a lot of quick, back-and-forth banter, which is something I've always loved. Just, again, nothing else in Gilmore Girls really interested me.

[PhotoJones]

And the fact that Lauren Graham is the second cutest mom on TV.

[moraldeficiency]

Hey I'm a fan of dialogue too, my biggest thing in fact but god in heaven they do not allow for one moment of time between words. Every once and a while I just think it's novel to communicate with a look, or gesture or just a scene itself but I was just amazed at how quickly and nonstop those women were. How any man (either a male love interest in the show or a guy viewing) could stand that for more than half an hour is just beyond me.

Oh yeah, spider-man.

I'm not much of a talker out here in the real world unless someone else talks a lot, so I'd probably like it. Both of my ex-girlfriends talked a lot, too. "Opposites attract" seems to apply to me.
