  • DC Comics To Switch The Sexual Orientation Of An Established Character

    I look forward to the day when the sexuality of any person (real or fictional) is not newsworthy in any way.
    Exactly. And if people thought it really shouldn't be an issue for a character to be straight or gay, they wouldn't need to discuss it on a comic con panel as some sort of big idea. They'd just write the stories. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby didn't have to go around and talk about anti-Semitism.... they wove the topic into their story lines seamlessly.
    Righto. And those stories still ring true, and have real weight and substance, while the schlock they are producing now is only serving to gain a short 15 minutes of fame, and then be forgotten forever.


    Trust me, 90% of everything DC has produced in the last 5 years will be stuffing the back issue bins a few years from now, in exactly the same way you find 90's comics stuffing them today. Pure crap with no intrinsic or redeeming value.

    I'm wondering why my post (quoted above) got "flagged"... on my Notifications page, it is listed as "troll". Disagree with me, sure. I am as boneheaded as anyone else... but flag me as a troll? Come on.
    Agreed. Bunch of crybabies not happy with just giving an unhappy face so have to try to censor those they disagree with by flagging them.


    Dont believe me? Watch... GRANT MORRISON IS AN IDIOT!! ...wait for it.
    Funny... weren't you the one worried about whether or not DC would handle something with maturity?
    I'm sorry I didnt realize people had been paying $2.99 to read my posts all this time? I have an apple and an orange, shall I explain the difference between them too?

    No. I get you. Posts here are free. And therefore you see them, and any time someone might spend reading them, as having no value.

    I think it is an illuminating statement on your approach.
