Yeah, we get that you think that. We get that you'll rave on and on about that. We get that you'll go out of your way to say that again and again while actually getting upset when someone calls you biased.
Wait, now it's my fault that I'd bring that up when
that's what the **** we're talking about? We're having a conversation about what I think of Stan Lee, and I'm not supposed to say what I think of Stan Lee? I was explaining that my opinion of an artist or writer as a person basically doesn't factor into my opinion of them as a professional. With Stan Lee, I happen to despise both his personality and his professional identity.
Ok, I get that, but don't try to say something doesn't exist when it does. Don't say you prefer AAA to the majors cause the AAA players are more noble and true to the game. They just don't have enough money to buy all the steriods they'd like. They're not more pure or less sellouts, they just haven't had the chance to sell out or dirty themselves enough to merit negatives in your eyes.
It was a ******ed analogy from a Marvel zombie who probably hasn't read a DC comic in his life. So I ****ed around with it.
And that's your opinion and that's fine, but you're not really being very objective in this.
It's opinion. You
can't be objective. You can certainly be objective enough to know that the idea that one company has more "maturity" than the other is ****ing stupid. But as for whether you enjoy the kind of maturity that has to tell you how mature it is, or the kind that just tells a story, that's a subjective question. And yes, I am subjective about it. Subjectively, I prefer good stories to stories that think they're revolutionizing the entirety of fiction by pitting Captain America against Iron Man for the three-hundredth time. Subjectively, I prefer heroic heroes to heroes that have lost all touch with any concept of morality and ethics. Subjectively, I prefer a bit of hope in my fiction, to a universe filled with despair, slowly dying societies, and nihilism, because I get the latter in real life; I read fiction as an escape from reality.
Subjectively, I prefer DC. It doesn't mean I don't read any Marvel, because I do read Marvel. It doesn't mean I hate Marvel, because I don't hate Marvel. It just means I like DC better, and that DC has so far failed to be better than Marvel
for me only once, and even that was very brief and fleeting. Subjectively, I despise Stan Lee's unabashed capitalism and exploitation and mistreatment of his own fans and consumers, as well as his horrible hack writing. And subjectively, I despise Joe Quesada's apparent attitude that continuity is more a playground for him to **** around in than a guide for a shared universe, and his complete disrespect for the other professionals in his field (as shown through his horrendous lateness as a creator and his unwillingness to treat any story that's already been published as anything but a potential retcon victim.)
Subjectively, that's how I feel about those things. And when those things come up in subjective conversations, why am I a dick and a troll for saying those things? Is it just because I say them in the Marvel forum (the appropriate forum for saying them) and the zombies don't like confronting the historical and contemporary problems Marvel has unless they're easy straw-men like One More Day or the Clone Saga?
