GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Well, I can understand some of his problem with the Speed Force. While I'm okay with the concept (and something is necessary to explain how the various Flashes don't incinerate themselves or otherwise suffer grievous injury when moving at the speeds they do) writers have turned it into an anything power. Looking into it, though, he seems to think it's silly in general.

Oh, well. We haven't been presented with anything in the actual show that says it doesn't exist, so I'm going to stick with my happy denial for now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

A Green Lantern writer quit because the DC editorial wants to kill off John Stewart:

Jesus, they're tone deaf.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I do love the "Come on internet. You know what to do next." Sometimes we're not (just) annoying, I suppose. Where do I post what?

If only there were some other community of nerds where you were active where you could spread the news.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hey, the Internet got Saturday mail back! At least, I assume it was the Internet. Decisions can be reversed!

It’s official: John Stewart is going to live!

Good job, Internet.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I wish DC would wake up to the fact that they have a huge fanbase due to the cartoons (Batman, JLU, Teen Titans, Young Justice) that would LOVE to pick up the comics.

But then they do stupid shit like slutting up Starfire, or trying to kill off John and alienating those fans.

So the position is that he was always going to live. And therefore Fialkov is a liar who quit for no good reason?
