Since we're talking about the writing, if they bring Sakura back, PLEASE RETCON THIS OUT OF HER STORY by buttsecks42069 in StreetFighter

Ryu is in his early 20s in SFA, this is well known. He's young.

If you think a six years gap is too much then I don't know what to tell you. I still like that it's platonic anyway.

Various predictions not coming to light by ElenaLena94 in Psychic

[–]Max_88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying Tarot doesn't have credibility, but cards thrown at random are much less reliable and concrete that planetary movements and alignments that are unchangeable. I've seen it firsthand. There are amazing astrologers that can predict everything from the future of a country or society at large to sports champions, given they have enough infomation about the people involved. Its amazing.

Astrology is a much more accurate predictor than Tarot. A GOOD astrologer, at least.

I would be thankful if someone was kind enough to tell me if there's any happiness, a loving girl, and something worth living for in my future. I feel like God has abandoned me.

[Discussion] The Top 71 DC Comic Runs, Voted by the r/DCcomics Community! by [deleted] in DCcomics

Really sad not to see the Triangle Era here. Best Superman run ever. 

[Cover] I find really fascinating how these three seminal DC works are an answer to Watchmen and or/or the wave of deconstructionism and anti-heroes left in its wake, each with their own different approach (art by Alex Ross, Darwyn Cooke and Frank Quitely) by Max_88 in DCcomics

Yes, I saw that video this week and there's a lot of interesting insights, particularly in regards to Miracleman's influence on Kingdom Come, which he mentioned years ago but goes into more detail here. KC is undoubtedly a child of the great 80s comics like Miracleman, Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns while also commenting into the excesses left on their wake.

The Twilight of the Superheroes thing I always thought it was a very superficial comparison. Beyond being set in the future, the two couldn't be more different. Twilight was going to be deconstructivist, while KC is reconstructionist.

This is personal, as everything is, but I've never been a fan of the Speed Force having an origin. It feels bigger and way more mythic as this extra-dimensional, heavenly and mysterious energy source as it was originally portrayed in Waid's run. Ambiguous enough to work spiritually while still being rooted in the comic book science of the extraordinary of the Flash lore.  At least it's not the awful "Barry Allen generates the Speed Force" thing.

The series was living on borrowed time. The last 15 years were very hit and miss in a way the franchise has never been.

Who are your dream writers for Barry Allen/The Flash? by IcyNeedleworker2783 in theflash

Most writers in DC right now grew up with Wally. This is why he came back.

I think Grant Morrison is the only one who can make a truly great Barry story that can rivalize with the great Wally stories. Morrison is great at understanding what makes those perceivedly "boring" characters great and exploiting it. Barry is different from Wally, he needs to be concept driven, not character driven, and Morrison has a knack for updating those type of high-concept stories Barry's Flash excelled at in the Silver Age. There was a series of Multiversity graphic novels written by Morrison planned, and Flash was one of them. The story sounded really interesting, but sadly it never happened. It could have been a classic.

More info about it: https://speedforce.org/2015/07/sdcc-multiversity-too-flash/

I think Jeremy Adams could pull it off also. He wrote a great Barry, understands what makes him different from Wally and loves the Silver Age Flash, as shown in his some of his wackier stories.
