Superboy Prime is back

[Antvasima]

It seems like he was released from the Source Wall when Perpetua broke free, but was imprisoned again by ancient magicians.

The metafiction angle has also been kept.

 

[Davidsteel1]

What series is this?

 

[Antvasima]

Shazam.

 

[Davidsteel1]

Odd place for him to pop up, you'd think JL, Superman or even Young Justice but no Shazam

 

[Ionliosite]

Well, well, so Prime finally came back, almost 9 years later. I was actually kinda missing that b*stard.

 

[Antvasima]

He is probably just going to be an excuse for writers to strawman, distort, and ridicule any readers who disagree with DC's and Marvel's current editorial policies as usual. Still, I rather liked "Legion of Three Worlds".

Also, since Captain Marvel/Shazam is the character closest in tone to what Prime originally was, he is a good fit/contrast from a storytelling perspective.

 

[Antvasima]

Also, it seems like the thematic of SBP hating to be stuck in hostile fictional narratives is going to continue.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Let's just hope they don't "Kill us to death" with this.

 

[Antvasima]

Ha!

This is why Manhattan ran away.

 

[Antvasima]

Heh.

 

[Antvasima]

My best guess is that he only returned as an excuse for DC writers to attack and distort critics rather than having a conversation with them though.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I can agree to that.

 

[Antvasima]

I am not happy with their generally extremely hostile behaviour towards anybody who disagrees with them in the slightest. A democracy is based on the principle of being able to have civil rational conversations about important topics.

 

[Ionliosite]

Can we please keep politics off of this? The controversy Prime causes simply via being Prime is more than enough here.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I think it was criticism to the writers; rather than the politics. Though, political controversies are a common concern in recent Marvel/DC Comics as of late. I agree that we should avoid in depth political controversy discussions however.

 

[Antvasima]

I was speaking more about general behaviour, but alright then.

 

[PrinceOfTheMorning]

I agree that criticizing the writers isn't political. Lord knows many of them are giant a-holes.

Also, hell yeah Prime-Time is back. Wonder if he'll be significantly weakened.

 

[UsernameMan12]

Emoboy is too good for current DC

 

[Ionliosite]

He's totally much better than Rogol Zaar and I can say that with all the security in the world.

 

[PrinceOfTheMorning]

Rogol Zaar is a piece of excrement created by a hack

 

[Antvasima]

Agreed. Bendis is a human wrecking ball who engineers propaganda, not entertainment, and destroys everything that he touches.
