Cus yeah, there's not just a legitimate point to be made, there's a fucking important but LOL WE HAVE A RACCOON! is neither here nor there? Or like, it is definitely a part of the discussion but not one that makes anyone look good.
I dunno though. I kind of think Marvel and DC have a Star Trek vs Star Wars kind of thing going on. Star Trek fans love Roddenberry. Star Wars fans hate George Lucas. Fandom remembers Marvel's successes and DC's failures. But that's kind of hard to point out without sounding petty because it doesn't make the successes not successes that should be lauded, or the failures not failures that should be talked about. So. Whatever, I think the answer is just to rant occasionally about Space Raccoons and Wonder Woman on my journal...

I'm so relieved you agree on that point. ♥
