Don't forget the villifications, bud

Interesting to see that the comics columnist of the Colorado Springs Gazette actually agrees with those who find repetitive deaths horrid:
I agree with those fans who say, enough is enough. Sure, death doesn’t stick a lot of times in comics. Even so, I’m getting tired of DC bumping off characters. Every character, after all, is someone’s favorite. And the drama seeps away when death becomes routine. Live and let live, I say.
Maybe his saying so is better late than never, but that won't excuse him of his dishonesty and sugarcoating the whole affair in Identity Crisis three years ago. In fact, is he sorry for how dishonest he was when he pulled that dumb stunt? Otherwise, what's his justification for saying he's in agreement over pointless deaths?

And I do wonder if he would also agree with anyone who finds cheap and sensationalized villification of veteran characters like Jean Loring, instead of offering them new development as cast members of their respective universes, terrible. Otherwise, again, what's his justification for saying he's in agreement over the pointless deaths that have been strewn out? Especially when he says that Captain America: Fallen Son
should be a heart-wrenching issue.
Thus, I have to question his sincerity here.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
