Actually... I pretend no other super hero other than Batman exists in Gotham... That's right, Robin.... YOU DON'T EXIST IN MY WORLD!! D:<
the name is something to do with him being an inmate somewhere and some guards having a deadpool on who would be killed first.... or something. i dunno, wikipedia that shit!
That aside, I really love Marvel comics. Especially this Reign and Dark Avengers stuff that happened last year. It was very compelling, and character driven. As long as a comic has characters with depth, it's cool. That's why I don't read most DC titles.
I don't read Marvel anyway. I don't like all the exaggerating muscles and over sized human heroes.
Oh, and for those who don't know, Deathstroke is this guy: [link]
He's cool.
I think it makes a cool name.
Liefelds' career continues to baffle me, he can't draw to save his life yet he actually influenced the industry of the 90's, he's also created several characters that have lasted until now and it's a miracle that Deadpool became so popular.
When Liefeld was in control of Cable and Deadpool they were boring, flat characters. Now days they've been greatly improved.
I personally love the character alot I'm just tired of seeing him appearing in stories he has no place being in.
I love that he breaks the fourth wall and he's even funnier than Spider-Man, also his costume is cool.
But he falls into cliche alot depending on the writer.
I loved being a comic book kid, I just feel like the old format has run it's course and it's time for something new.
I'm not coming down on the artist and writers who work on these comics, obviously I know what it's like to be a paycheque player. The animation industry has many of it's own conventions. To those of you who like this formula, my apologies, it's just an opinion.
Although it doesn't explain why there's a social difference between the two.
Personally as a kid who grew up in the 90's I hated comics from that decade but I like modern comics.
These days everything is dark and dramatic, contrasting the light campiness of the gold and silver ages.
But no matter what era, comics can be plain silly and other times they can be brilliant.
Both DC and Marvel have had their share of successes and failures but I don't think there's anything fundamentally wrong with the way the industry is now.
My only complaint would be those cross-series story arcs. It's difficult to follow things like Civil War or Seige when you have to do so much extra reading for backstory.
Let it be self contained.
