      @@Nerwrax15 nothing has been contradicted. they already explained at the end of Justice/Doom War that the evil permeating thru the universe was fracturing the timeline, so to explain how Doomsday Clock, Event Leviathan, and other stuff were happening at the same time. Death Metal is after DClock and they specifically mention how Dr Manhattan did what he did, along with every villain of every Crisis event, because Perpeatua was whispering in their ears so that each crisis would weaken the Source Wall. the delays of DClock surely did dampen their plans for it to have a more resounding effect but the J/D War arc wrapped that angle up and now with a Infinite Omniverse, everything is canon so DClcok is most assuredly, not contradicted or non impactful. It brought back the JSA and Legion of Superheroes and they found a meta way to explain the delays impact on the series.

      Such an accurate description of the whole situation. Comic continuity is one big LOL NO. Of course, I always say that deconstruction, by it’s very nature, is not constructive (it’s literally in the name) and so it fails to bring any value to the table when it becomes the rule and not the exception, the groundwork/linchpin for all continuity - the establishment instead of the anti-establishment. The New52 and postmodern style DC in general has given a fine example of this I think, given how often they have to reboot anew and fix everything compared to before the modern era. You have to grow to earn books like The Killing Joke, Watchmen, TDKR, Kingdom Come, etc., in order to fully appreciate them and how they flipped the genre on its head
      You can’t start a universe from a point of deconstruction! (I’m looking at you, Zack Snyder)
      But then again, those are the books that are popular and grown people love feeling like their love for superheroes in tights is validated by the dark, cynical tone and realism, so what do I know?

      @@Galvatronover They are “well written” but they also aren’t trying to be the foundation of a whole new universe of stories or a new status quo. They’re all more or less self contained and exist outside of continuity. You could bring up The Killing Joke being canonized but even that’s not a leg to stand on (no pun intended) because DC editorial doesn’t have it in them to permanently leave Barbara paralyzed (you know, the DARK, REALISTIC thing to do!) You could also bring up Year One which is still probably the most popular and definitive Batman origin, but I would argue the classic, Golden Age Batman story is even more timeless because it’s simple, concise, and not as excessive as Year One, and is still the basic skeleton Year One is built on
      When DC acquired the rights to Charlton characters, they hired Alan Moore to write their first big story with these new characters. On paper, the decision makes 100% sense because Alan Moore was the most talented writer in the world at the time. When Moore turned in the script, they loved it but knew it would not be the proper way to introduce these characters to mainstream audiences for the purposes of establishing a sustainable status quo, so Alan Moore was told to turn them into original analogs and do whatever he wanted with them. That story would become, arguably, the best comic book to ever see publication. It wasn’t the start of a whole new universe, nor was it intended to be. It was a stand alone title. You can’t break the toys as you’re assembling them!

  • @flexorlamonticus
    @flexorlamonticus 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    When I initially read this, I felt like it was amazing as a mainstream DC comic (seeing Gardner cuss was almost worth the price of admission alone), but a bit tepid as a Watchmen sequel (that's fine, though). The "every universe exists somewhere" thing was particularly mind-blowing at the time. I love to think that 90s JLI and campy silver age World's Finest and Camalot 3000 etc. etc. all "exist" out there somewhere along with the New 52 and Dark Knight and post Crisis DC. Watching this video makes me want to go back and reread this series again! Thanks!

    I can not give this enough likes. I was so hyped for this story as well as this episode. Loved GJ's run on Green Lantern, and really thought they were going to reveal that the Hand of Creation was Dr Manhatton.. which obviously didn't happen. Though it could've been just looked at as a cash grab, I thought it turned out pretty well. It had the potential to be so much more.. but it had the chance to be much worse. In the end it landed somewhere in the middle. Thanks you guys for finally reviewing this!

    • @KRSeriphem
      @KRSeriphem 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      My own theory comes from the fact that Marionette never questions anything regarding how mime kills people not did she argue the trip to the locker to pick up his gear in the prison. Also the angle in the panel after he shoots the goon in the head shows smoke coming out of the silhouette of a pistol. And in watchmen dr manhattan and ozimandias' created crazy tech advancements. So, like with the ink bloch mask I assume some company created a substance that made things invisible and he capitalized on it.

    For the record, there was in fact a new 52 legion of superheroes. There were at least 2 books, L.o.S and Legion Lost, which did a crossover with Teen Titans and Superboy. Another thing is that, in the New 52, Firestorm's origin didn't even have Martin Stein as a part of the duo, it was Jason Rusch and Ronnie Raymond as seperate individual Firestorms before they eventually formed a single individual (Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Men). Johns didn't both to check the continuity of the characters, whose continuity was imperative to the story he was telling :/
