I don't see any humor in this. Not every thread needs to be an excuse to make a New Come at someone's expense.

Or maybe because it's two of the greatest of all time in one of the most celebrated fights ever and my admiration for Muhammad Ali?

Loki: Laufey said some things Asgardy wasn't ready to hear.

And Norse myth Thor has a chariot pulled by six legged flying goats.

Cate Blanchett is The Midgard Serpent.

Yeah, but you're still on rice cereal.

The award was also partly for her work in Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.

I'd rather just watch the actual fight and pre-match interviews.

Right. My whole point is that characters post 60s tend to have a much harder time catching on. Part of that, I suspect is that by the 60s, stories became much more serialized and continuity started to matter. Earlier comics were written with the idea that readers might only stick around a few years so there was no…

I remember loving Byrne's work there for a long time, but part of me suspects the only title of his I'd still like is his She Hulk run.

True. Like I said, my list wasn't comprehensive, but Jessica Jones, to be fair, has been in the larger public consciousness for a few weeks now.

Part of the problem too was trying to create a whole new universe wholesale, which is difficult. Now, we think of the Golden Age and Silver Age as distinctive times, but it's important to remember that when Barry Allen's version of the Flash was launched, it wasn't DC deciding "we're starting a new superhero…

Maybe I was being too nice.

Creatively, sure.

That was Jim Lee trying his hand at costume design (his weakest skill).

Well, I can live without a t-shirt. *sniffles*

Right. Also, it's hard to imagine some of the characters, such as Cable, might still be relevant in 20 years (it could probably be argued he hardly is now).

Because DC is stupid and hates their fans.

Of course, by the 80s, and arguably even the 70s with a few notable exceptions, like additions to the X-Men, comic readers were showing an increasing resistance to new characters. There were exceptions, of course, but even with Image, outside of one or two of it's initial characters or teams still around, they've…

It needs a few more covers.
