Super hero tone and changing times

[Morrus]

If it is about actually understanding each other, Morrus, it isn't "just quibbling".

And now we’re quibbling about the meaning of quibbling. Meta quibbling.

Which word from this post shall we quibble about next? I vote “word”!

Wow, that's neat. Tell someone they're quibbling and you immunise yourself from any counterpoint, because if they attempt to disagree you can just call that quibbling in turn. I'll have to remember that one.

I mean, it might work once as a joke, but I don't think I could repeat it!

The trouble with quibbles is they can quickly get out of hand...

Well, they teased it very badly. "oh, this is absolutely real." as opposed to either an alt-universe story or a mystery for the reader to watch unfolding. So, of course doing that to their prime upstanding hero was going to ruffle feathers. They invited outrage.

Maybe in the marketing, but it was obvious in the comics from the start that the Cosmic Cube kid was the cause of HydraCap. Not just obvious, but explicit.

It was stated in several interviews, with the writer, prior to the first issue being released.
