And in the words of Jim Starlin—he's based more (character-wise, not visually, which we know, as he also admitted this, is Darkseid) on Metron. DAT CHAIR!

I read it after the fact at ~19-20 and still thought it was actually a pretty solid story.

That was such a perfect turn of phrase, in that it was adapted with slavish visual faith, and then butchered by complete inability to understand the actual premise and themes.

oh my god this is my favourite comment.

Plus goat people and weird knife-handed monsters.

"omniscient knowledge"

In the show, London, iirc, because that ain't no Scouse accent (and I remember when it was announced noting that they are by no means the same city)

Yes, the real problem is that the word she used was "decision", and I think that's a matter of "truth is stranger than fiction" to some extent—the phrasing is not:
1) technically wrong (knowing about it and helping him to find his feelings or whatever would be 'involved with the decision')
2) impossible for a person to…
