why was the writer of dc killed and is he not boundless?

Grant Morrison (New Earth)

Grant Morrison, also known as The Writer, was an adversary of Animal Man. He could alter reality by writing a story. He wrote about the life of Animal Man with tragic results, as Buddy's family was brutally killed. Animal Man was able to reach Morrison's home, where they discussed the nature of...

dc.fandom.com

it literally says in this article about the writer that he was killed by a beastiamorph.

or is this a different writer than the one on vs battle wiki.

i mean the writer is supposed to be boundless yet he was killed by a beastiamorph.

so does this mean he's not boundless.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

That was one of the Writers, ATM, The Writer is considered a race of Tier 0 characters. Also however, Grant Morrison basically lost his Tier 0 powers when he wrote himself into the story.

That, and there are discussions about the higher up tiers for DC Comics.

Being Boundless does not mean you can't be killed

 

[QuasiYuri]

Actually this incarnation said that there was a writer deciding of things even above him.

a race of Tier 0 characters

Is that really a thing now?

Is that really a thing now?

The archetypes in the Cthulhu mythos contain infinite tier 0s

Definitely following this.

This was just a representation controlled by another Writer. He was extremely limited in his capabilities and bound by the plot.

Is there a statement that indicates that the Writer is an amalgamation of all DC writers? Because unlike DC which is flimsy, Marvel did it.

No. There’s a statement of other writers existing but there isn’t any evidence for the Writer being an amalgamation of all DC writers. Most of the profile for that character is complete headcanon.

 

[Kerwin0831]

Yeah that’s what I’ve read so far from any appearance of Grant Morrison’s author avatar appearance and implication. Like they try to justify it’s a war between an “ink and a blank page” when the Writer didn’t draw or create anything. Even Grant Morrison’s author avatar didn’t create animal man or anything, he simply has the authority to manipulate him. Yeah I agree with it being filled with headcanon.

 

[Deleted member 2530]

Different writers write different things. Its not head canon. The only problem is that The Writer is a character whose existence is acknowledged by two authors. Unlike the case of TOAA. Grant Morrison and John Ostrander I believe. Grant Morrison's version this super powerful being who has complete control of the plot while Ostranders version is a guy who can manipulate plot somewhat but still bound by the plot and the author.

 

[Kerwin0831]

The thing is people in this site keep referencing Grant’s interview about a war between blank page and ink, where the white page is being forced to be drawn by someone. However, Grant’s author avatar made it clear that he didn’t create anything about his character, someone else does(most likely the illustrator/artist), if anything he’s just a demiurge power.

DC wouldn’t be so vague, they also wouldn’t display him to be weak and only having a few authors saying it if The Writer is really DC’s Supreme Entity. They would have some sort of heavy implication/statement that The Writer is the combination of all DC comic creators and writers. Except it wasn’t and this site is continuing to pursue that

Also the writer who was controlling Grant Morrison wasn’t implied or stated to be stronger or anything in power difference at all. It’s just that author avatars are limited by continuity.

[Deleted member 2530]

The thing is like I said, The Writer is not really acknowledged as a creator or some supreme entity by any other writer. And he isn't the combination either. Morrison says there are other writers beside him but they are real life people and not some character in DC. And as far as the official record goes for the The Writer as a character he is dead.

 

[Kerwin0831]

I know that Grant’s AA said so, and that’s exactly my point the idea of The Writer being established as a “race of Tier 0 characters” and the top of the DC cosmology is literally a headcanon made due to popularity of this site. Because in the actual comic narrative, such a thing was never established or even implied.

 

[Confluctor]

Morrison's version of writer was from the Bleed. So he would be Low 1C or 1C. 1a and 0 is just a dumb way to put him.


And then he got weaker when he wrote himself into the story and we know what happened afterwards

 

[PsychoWarper]

Iirc a revision for DCs top tiers is being worked on ao it will likely be changed then.

Unfortunately it may take awhile.

 

[Confluctor]

Gonna take a year or two more lol
