No, it's sloppy plotting because it's not set up within the story.

It's just plain bad writing because it DOESN'T explore or hunt at the contradictions or foreshadow any of it.

(And that's not...

Eight bucks for 59 pages of story content (that's an accurate count, I think; lots of double page and triple page spreads).

That's a slightly better ratio than for the regular monthly books.
...

Yeah, that's where the rush to finish betrayed him ( seemed to me Nekron always needed a seduced willing anchor to the living univeres, which a black Hand was and Hal wasn't.....and that since Hal...

Well, someone missed SOMETHING.

AMong the classic tropes you learn (or used to learn) in high school english is that stories are basically man against man, man against his environment, man against fate, man against himself, etc.......

Dude, you got weak sauce for an argument and you're butt hurt that you're getting the response that it deserves.

Make a better argument and you'll be fine.

I think there would have been a HELL of a lot more complaints and people turned off if they used the original conception of the Mandarin. No possible way to use the original view.

You could...

Well, yeah, but the filing was done better for The Mandarin. I think they used a power sander there....

I think some people use them interchangeably.

And I certainly think that people with common sense just might do what Diana did. "Being above it" makes no sense to me and certainly smacks of being...

Well, YOUNG HEROES was quite good and certainly not crap. But the "going away quick" part will probably apply.

It ALWAYS applies.

This seems to put Diana on a pedestal. I would object to such an attitude toward the character because it seems to smack of the Madonna/whore dichotomy that infests far too many portrayals of female...

I think this is quite true. You really got a sense of a Flash that was distinctly different from Barry.

You may still get a Barry that's not what he was at the end of his evolution, but I think...

D'oh!

Seriously. Good point.

I think having pre-existing characters on the show can be argued either way. But given that, I just don't have a problem with Whedon going with all new characters. And I think it's easier to do when...

Good one. Pretty funny.

If it gives a better taste of what's the show's about, then use them.

And, obviously, I think the measure of an actor is in looking at the choices they make, and it's hard to look at their choices...

Frankly, I don't expect most comic fans to know what good acting is (which is context specific) if it went up and hit them in the face. That's mostly from personal experience from this site.

Which, by the way, doesn't make the Invisible Plane redundant. If her flying is akin to her gliding on wind currents in the silver age, it's likely slow, maybe 100-150 mph--though still pretty...

In addition, Whedon was hired BECAUSE of his vision, based on Buffy and Angel (and probably Dr. Horrible).

Yeah, only a particularly insular fan would say this.

This could have been said about Jimmy Olsen or Inspector Henderson at one time.

And it's MUCH better to create your own character. You...

I think this thread just shows what wrong with fans. They have no idea how a business operates, they have no idea how creative people operate and they'll take the slightest bit of news and interpret...

Man, wasn't asking for hit status...just respectable sales....

What? Not Asian?

Aw, man, you're killing me, bro'....:biggrin:

"Do you know what that was--""She's just the pilot" Character Breakdown: "....damaged...."

Admirable economy in letting character bits slip.

Who knows? But I would bet that if it's an existing character, it'd be a very obscure one because of the series premise.
