Yeah, I like Digger's return.

Batman Beyond was pretty good.  The banter between Bruce & Terry was still great.

GL was pretty awesome.  Gotta love Lobo, plus the origin of Dex! 

I love Lobo, but he's gone away as fast as he's come back. I'm not saying DC should milk their one funny canon character like Marvel does with Deadpool, but they could have kept him around in the plot, ala 52.

BTW, anyone read the Arkham Asylum: Madness hardcover by Sam Keith? It's out today. It's quite good.

Okay, I've got no luck trying to find the pic Hamartia keeps talking about. Can I do this another time? Or if not, can you help me with what queries I should enter in a search engine?

I've tried looking through /x/. No dice. And search at your own leisure.

Well I thought they did with the fact that he was married to MJ.  To me, it was a nice tale of a nerd who always got picked on, but ultimately wound up with the hot chick wife.

Also, I read the #600 of Wonder Woman, and it wasn't all that bad.  I'm kinda curious about the change, as it looks like the Greek Gods are [tornado fang]ing with her life somewhat.  It's not going to make me start buying WW, but still, I'm curious.  What I did like was all the splash pages of WW art.  LoL, of course it only made me like her classic costume more.

I like the fact that they're evolving her at all. But if they're changing the costume, why glorify her old costume so much? It's kind of strange.

...all in all, Superman and Wonder Woman specials were kinda dull compared to the almighty awesomeness Batman #700 brought. =P

...I'm really looking forward to the Flash vs Captain Boomerang fight, though. Digger's return seems rad.

...and SURPRISE SURPRISE, Beechen's Batman Beyond doesn't suck! Yet at least. Although I think they could have picked a better villain to Beyondize. Seeing as Tommy Elliot's vendetta lies against Bruce and not Terry.

And GL was fun, but aside from Lobo funtimes, it didn't evolve at all. Why do I get the feeling that the GL book is the one who will tell the least amount of relevant facts in Brightest Day?

Well I blame Quesada more for Sins Past & One More Day, but the Spider-Totem thing was awful.

You know... the other day, I went back and read some classic Spidey. And I realised... do they EVER let his character evolve? EVER?

They don't look alike yet you consider it more of a remake?... That's quite the contradiction there.

I didn't say I considered it a remake. I said I considered it "more of a remake". Twilight Princess tries to have the same structure and atmosphere as Ocarina, to the point of having the same races and even an Epona. The fans wanted another OOT, they gave people another OOT.

It's not like every fan is psychically connected and can voice questions/answers to all the other fans.

Internets, son. If you can hear about Word of God, you can talk to other fans.

Languages are ambiguous, stories even more so. You can't explain everything exactly without ruining the pacing or using dry, boring language. Misunderstandings are inevitable.
However, most of the time they are not important - I think there's some sort of catchy motto for it, but basically the readers interpretation is just as valid as the authors. They can't clash when you can't ask the authors directly, which is how it used to be in the olden days before the internet and forums.

That's why open endings deserve to be open endings and open interpretation deserves to be open interpretation. Because the author has no business going back and saying "NO WAIT THIS IS WHAT I MEANT BY THAT".

It's not as if the Master Sword has ever stayed in one similar looking place anyways.

Exactly. And why is that? Because nobody gives a [parasitic bomb] about making similar-looking places to fit any sort of coherent story in-between games.

That's not what normally happens, though.
Word of God is pretty much never a spontaneous announcement from the developer, it's always fans asking "oh but what about this, is it like so" and the dev says yes or no, potentially expounding from there. So it's more like clarifying to those who didn't understand correctly.

No? Sure seems like it to me. If it was just simple clarification for some, other fans would understand it easily, and explain it to those who didn't. If an author has an idea of how the story ends, THEY PUT IT IN THE DAMN STORY. Or make some kind of clear explanation. Or leave it for the sequel. Word of God is one of two things. Making up for bad storytelling, or ass-pulling to shut fans up.

Looks like you just can't get over the fact that you didn't understand Twilight's setting. If you would replay Twilight with Aonuma's statements in mind, it all makes perfect sense; the game was built as a sequel to Ocarina.

Whole thing seems to me more like a sort of remake than a sequel, since they were giving the fans what they wanted. A game that's more OOT-like.

You mean that's not obvious just from looking at it?  I mean, you travel back in time to the Temple of Time from OoT for Christ's sake.

Because both temples look so much alike, amirite?

So tomorrow (today being that it's after midnight), Wonder Woman gets a new costume, and a new JMS direction.  Honestly, I'm not a big fan of the new costume.  I mean, I don't mind the look of it per-se, but if they were going to change Diana's outfit, I'd have preferred something more Amazon-ish looking, with Armor.  Something that Hephaestus would make.

Well... I don't hate it. I've never been a big fan of Wonder Woman, so I never saw her costume as something amazingly iconic, unlike Superman's costume. They're probably gonna try to get rid of the supernatural origins and go with something more realistic. Not a big fan of JMS myself, so I can't say how well that'll work out. But honestly, the 2009 animated movie already had the best Wonder Woman origin I've seen. Why not use that? Why does DC have to constantly be changing character's origins? We didn't need Superman: Secret Origin. Birthright was already the best damn origin story we've had. And as much as GL: Secret Origin was good, we've had an origin story for him a few decades ago, which was also pretty good, at least the way I remember it. Well, the new costume isn't iconic, or superhero-like, but at least I have to give DC SOME props for something. They're finally covering up their women in some extent. I just wish they didn't cover up who's probably the one DC woman who needs it the least.

Try these. It's got the american version name on it, but it says "unreleased tracks".

And this one is a single, it just has the tracks "koe" and "moe".

this makes me somewhat glad twilight exists, just so parodies like these exist~

That's because Twilight is like a huge trainwreck. You can't NOT watch it.
