[QUOTE="Villano, post: 1239851, member: 505"] I think you're alone on your views of this one, too. Oh, and I also remembered a few other bad ideas in comics: [B]New Character, Major Changes[/B] Who finally killed Superman? Was it Luthor? Brainiac? Darkseid? Nope, it was a brand new character, Doomsday. Who broke Batman's back? New guy, Bane. Who did Batman turn over the cape to while he was crippled? Another new guy called Azrael. What villain cost Aquaman his hand? Charybdis. Never heard of him? Join the club! I think it was his first appearance. If you want to tell a story that is supposed to have a deep emotional impact on the reader, why have it be done by a character that has absolutely no emotional attachment for the reader? Speaking of new characters... [B]Meaningless Canon Fodder[/B] I absolutely hate when a writer casually kills off a character around for decades to show that a (usually new) villain is evil. Three or four members of the original JSA were wiped out in one panel by Extant during Zero Hour. Several heroes, including Kid Eternity and the golden age Sandman, were killed by Mordru when the new JSA series began. And Justice League Europe was murdered the new Mist in what has to be the most complicated and ridiculous trap in comics. The JLE deaths really stand out since they were the European branch of the Justice League, but fell prey to a single woman whose powers were limited to turning into steam and shooting people with a gun. We can save Europe from alien invasion, but we can't handle one half of the Wonder Twins. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
