Something satisfying...

litheraAbout being right.
In this case it isn't anything important. Just comic book stuff. But it is very, very nice to know a character well enough to know what has to come next. It also makes me very happy to know that I'll be seeing much more of that character in the future.
And I'm coming back to my thing about chracter death. It sucks to lose characters we love. It does. It doesn't mean it shouldn't happen. BUT! In a world such as comic books there is no saying who may or many not come back at some point. Also, it is very important to me that character deaths in comic books /mean/ something. For example - Jean Grey's first death was a good death, I think. Her coming back.... I don't know. It made it mean less. I'm not sure about Jason Todd yet but I'm still leaning toward it being lame to have brought him back..... but with what is happening in the universe, it makes sense. The door between life and death is broken...
So. I'm not going to talk about specifics because I know there are people who are hating all this. I'm still on the side of really liking it.

He should've stayed that way or disclaimered it [because I was younger and more naive about the revolving pearly gates then and it didn't occur to me that copyrights and other stuff would require bringing characters back from the dead so the companies wouldn't lose their rights to the characters.]

Date: 2006-01-22 02:43 am (UTC)Jason Todd is kind of lame. But then I don't know the story yet. I thought his death was lame. But the after effects of the death were cooler than his actual death.
That said, I did kind of like the Blue Beatle's death. It made him look cool and the whole issue was a solid BB comic.
I did however hate Sue's death. That was totally pointless really.
Death should be rare and have actual meaning.
But comics arent a long term medium.
