It needs an injection of life. There is some value to the stories but it needs something else.

Like I said before, DC screwed up with not pushing Levitz to make some major tweaks to the team post-Flashpoint. The team could have easily de-aged without any serious damage done to continuity. I pretty sure you could compress Legion history within a 5-yr. window. The Adventure run could easily fit in about a one or two year period, the same goes for the 70's & 80's eras.

Having a team that's closer to college age than the late-20's/early 30's is probably the best range for the team. Legionaries should never be older than Superman, which sadly a few of them are now.

As for stories, they could use a little more variation than the Dominators seemingly popping up every month (like Levitz has pretty much said is going to be happening). It would be cool if there were more stories set on worlds that resemble varying forms of SF & Fantasy. You could have steampunk worlds, post-apocalyptic worlds, etc.

Think about it as performance posting and laugh along :)


Oh please. You must have not have been at the numerous other sites where he was constantly getting into flame-wars with other posters. Outhouse is the only site I'm aware of (there may be others however) where he hasn't been suspended or banned :lol:

I remember that in the old rama, there were numerous ostracize attempts with no good results.
To develop their conscience and consciousness, to make them aware of what is going on, to prepare the precarious ground for the future alternatives—this is our task: "our" not only as Marxists but as intellectuals, and that means all those who are still free and able to think by themselves and against indoctrination, communist as well as anticommunist.

Yeah, folks hated him and Wright. Meanwhile, the detractors were barely any different. Folks have opinions and being fanboys, go over-board with them.

I can understand to some degree why folks get pissed off with either, but I don't have the problem. It's like getting bent out of shape because a dog barks or a bird tweets.

No that was another fella. Who should post here. The names do for some reason get mixed up in memory. :oops:
Wright Blan posts here with a different name.

Yeah, he, who you refer to, had a great post to Brady after getting scolded. Basically it was, "Why can't I put you on the ignore list?"
