I'm not so sure anymore.<br /><br />Or if any of the addicts still had any money, which thanks to Marvel they don't. :)Kazekagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07499536996058174109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207237618509440496.post-13726100401947362242011-03-08T14:23:06.078-05:002011-03-08T14:23:06.078-05:00Not yet, at any rate.

It'll have to happen with the next generation of writers - this one's too mired in their own BS to see what's really needed.<br /><br />At least they're predictable. We could make a fortune in the betting pool if anyone else still cared about Marvel Comics. :)Diana Kingston-Gabaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606122690934557406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207237618509440496.post-15165777931010849632011-02-13T21:57:08.583-05:002011-02-13T21:57:08.583-05:00Well, it's an idea, I guess.

The problem is that everyone toes the company line, so the idea of subverting in plain sight (a la Steve Gerber's <i>Defenders</i>) is nigh-impossible because <i>no one sees anything wrong with it.</i><br /><br />Well, the lesson they learned from killing the Torch was that they needed to kill more people, which funnily enough is <i>exactly</i> the lesson I thought they might glean from it.Kazekagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07499536996058174109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207237618509440496.post-61121840708359003442011-02-13T14:56:48.365-05:002011-02-13T14:56:48.365-05:00I like to think they'll abuse the trope so oft...I like to think they'll abuse the trope so often that subversions become more commonplace, ie: the incessant zombie trend giving us <i>Shaun of the Dead</i> and <i>World War Z</i>.<br /><br />But then, this <i>is</i> Marvel we're talking about.
