Exactly, "before they hit the reset button".
They'll always hit the reset button eventually, a character could have 5 years of development or 10 or 20 but eventually they'll be reset.
Either a story ends or it's reset, because most comics don't end (they're literally called "on-going") they'll eventually reset and…

But those crazy things aren't a problem from lack of continuity they're just crazy ideas (some of which sound pretty cool).
If all comics scrapped continuity today I don't think they'd all go that crazy, because not all writers want to do something with that whacky tone.

I assume the films will still be a separate universe, even if they try to make the comics as close as possible they'll want freedom to do whatever they want in the movie universe.
They have official tie-in comic books anyway, but I too like the films being a separate thing.

"199999" is that actually the number of the cinematic universe?
I assumed it was completely separate but perhaps that was foolish of me.
It would be amusing if they did a quick cross-over with that universe (just a few panels) and they did it as a photo-comic with the actors from the films.
The characters could be…

Yea, I thought the same thing about Batman.
I never got into that character when I started reading DC after their New-52 reboot because there were so many titles and I didn't know which are "essential" and if it would make sense if I just read one (and which one that should be) so I gave up.
Apparently Batman can be a…

Yes, unless they think stopping the comics line will dry up any interest in movies and then they can wait Fox out for the rights to return to them. But obviously that won't happen.
They'll probably reduce the appearances of X-men in other comics, so they have the maximum amount of material they can adapt later on.
They…

Same, they're definitely going to make the comics more like the existing films (expect heroes to look like their movie counterparts) but I also think they'll design the films to be as adaptable as possible.
Hopefully that will mean more diversity, it will probably mean taking classic characters and stripping away any…

I was just thinking about that. Maybe in this new reboot they're adjust the back-stories of certain character enough so that they can use them in the MCU.
I'm thinking specifically of mutant characters, because those rights are with Fox, but if they invented a new Wolverine who wasn't a mutant maybe they could use that…

Here's an interesting idea I just thought of:
If Disney mandated this reboot like you suggested (which makes) could they be using it to sneakily return some character rights to them for use in the films.
Right now the rights to all mutant characters are with Fox, but if in this this new reboot Wolverine wasn't a mutant…

Marvel published this in the 1990s:

I never thought about it that way. Good point but the trick is not to care about the gimmicks these companies tell you are important (whether it's 3D, high-frame-rates, or interconnected universes) and just care about story, because the other things will come and go.

I was just having this argument with someone on slashfilm (about the starwars comics actually) I don't understand why comics (or any stories) becomes "worthless" as soon as it's no longer canon.
It's not like someone breaks into your house and steals all your old comics, you can still enjoy those stories.
If the only…

I was one of those news readers, I liked it for while. Didn't stick around longer than six months, except on Wonder Woman but I was looking forward to it and took advantage of the fresh start.
You're right, it didn't take long to get bogged down in new continuity again. It's funny I thought must people thought it was a…

I don't know about "regular" but this site and Slashfilm are basically the only two sites I comment on (and occasionally The Dissolve) I imagine there's a lot of cross-over in readership.
Although I think commenters here have a much better sense of humor :P.

If the citizens of North Korea rose up and drove Kim Jong-Un out of his house, no one would say that comes across as unfair or that it detracts from their very-justifiable stance.
It's the same thing, by that point Buffy was a terrible, power mad dictator who had to be stopped.
If the writers knew they were writing…

Yea, I see those points and agree, especially about Willow not paying rent but from a practical standpoint it's less effort for Buffy to move than everyone else.
The scene was clearly constructed in a way to try and make you sympathize with Buffy and that's what made it so infuriating, the writers heavy-handedly…

I understand new opening credits do cost money but it's not like the Parks and Recreations ones are particularly graphics/design intensive. They should've hired me, I'd thrown them together some cool looking ones on the cheap.
I guess the cost of new credits must come from getting everyone to sign off on them (actors,…

Everyone who defends Buffy in the scene brings up that it was her own house but it's Dawn's house as well and they're in an abandoned city full of empty houses.
It's not just about the Scoobies everyone in that house was upset with her (that's putting it mildly) a public forum is the best place to over-throw a…

Thanks.
I think I'll wait for my (hopefully inevitable) move to London before I start networking in that department. I already have a text document of potentially-amusing ideas.
Is everyone who does it aspiring for it to be their career? I used to assume stand-up was something you only did if you wanted it to be your…

God damn. I've been having an uphill battle with typos the last few days. I think being unemployed has lead to a huge increase in the quantity of my comments and a huge decrease in their quality.
