Gaiman’s one of my favorite authors. he has this way with words and stories and it’s magical.

It takes creativity to write fanfic? i thought it was all porn and bad ideas.

Thank you, I feel the same way about your perspective. I can ell the difference between someone who wants to troll and someone who wants to have a dialogue and as time went on, I could tell that you were actually interested in a conversation, not just two people yelling at each other because they’re bored.

It’s one of those comics that I can recommend to anyone and they usually love it. That one and Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman.

We’ll have to agree to disagree then, because I don’t agree with anything you said, but I don’t think I can sway you and I know you can’t sway me.

I got a bit worked up in the beginning, but as with most things, two rational people can always come to an understanding even though they have opposing viewpoints. It’s just getting past the initial standoffishness.

He hasn’t worked in a long time and the last thing I remember him doing, a couple of Spider-Man books that were a soft reboot in the late 90s, weren’t great. He did a good Wonder Woman run before that though.

Yeah, Star Wars has always been a bit problematic in that regard, but I always liked to hope it wasn’t. We often project what we see in ourselves on fiction, so I always projected those values I talked about earlier on it, but as you said, as a white dude, I can’t really say what’s offensive to others except hoping…

That’s fair. I’ve always felt that comic fandom is about more than people wanting their idea of morality to be enforced by gods and it’s not something that I can say I’ve seen too much of, but I also can’t go beyond my own experiences and the way I perceive the world. I just took umbrage to what I perceived as a…

You’re completely right that the original Star Wars could have done a lot better with representation, but this is what we have and for me, the message behind all of it is that all people, regardless of race or religion or species deserve freedom and equality. It did use the white boy fantasy shit to make those points,…

The implication when one says that a certain group loves guns and violence and feels scared and powerless makes me feel like you mean Trump supporter. Those are pretty much their default settings.

Oh, I am an asshole, but at least I’m judging him based on things he’s said, not my impression on what he’s said. He said that superhero fans were all Trump supporters with simplistic morals. That’s generalizing and being a judgemental prick. If it makes me an asshole and a prick to call him out, I don’t care. I’m…

Yes, I was counting the multiple cultures that make up the Rebellion in comparison to the one race group of men they were fighting. I feel like you don’t understand sci-fi allegories. Now, is it perfect from a 2018 standpoint? No, but shit, the Civil Rights movement wouldn’t completely pass muster now a days either. A…

No, I know better than that and if he would have stopped at saying just “superhero film fans”, I wouldn’t have said anything, but in his next sentence, he just said “people who like superheroes”, which implies comic fans as well, and that’s where I have to draw the line.

Or... maybe in the hopelessness that has been a part of every day life for the vast majority of Americans since the economic crash and beyond, it’s nice to have fantasies of heroes who actually care about us? That there’s a group of people who don’t have to care, have the power to do whatever they want, and yet they…

You’d actually be surprised how liberal and open minded comic fans are, but sure, generalize because you want to feel superior. Most fandoms have loud terrible voices, but they’re usually a minority. The values comics are built on are quite liberal when it comes right down to it, just like Star Wars. There are vocal…

And film, even non-superhero film,copies itself all the time, adapting stories from one genre to another, then the creators pat themselves on the back and talk about how artistic they are. Just because you don’t like superhero movies doesn’t take away from what Logan accomplishedin fact, doesn’t it prove that the…

The irony being that the Marvel movies copied the DC comics vibe more than the DC movies did. Marvel did realistic, while DC was the pie in the sky, hope and sunshine books. Even now, Marvel comics are way more pessimistic than their DC counterparts, with Marvel heroes fighting each other constantly over what being a…

Does San Diego Comic-Con even have stuff about comics anymore? It’s a glorified Hollywood trade show now that happens to sell some comics. It shouldn’t even have the word “Comic”in its name anymore.

I think we should agree to disagree, then. I can respect your opinion.
