No, they aren't--and I don't see too many people treating them with all the gravitas of a modern-day Greek mythos either. Me neither.
I stand by what I said, but I should have said it to you instead of around you. That was a mistake, but I do not care for this 'it's not real' trump card. It's not wrong, but I think it sucks the fun out of any debate. Unless someone's being abusive and they need the wake-up call, by all means shut them down, but I didn't think we were there yet.
Why bother discussing anything at all if 'it's not real' is the magnetic north every discussion leads to?
To rile up @weirdraptor so he flies off the handle. Innit? |

A factual theory? Are you sure it's not a theoretical fact? I am leaning more to it being a hypothetical certainty. Innit? yes. |

I suspect you're taking a relatively innocuous observation a little too seriously. |

Honestly the title is comedy gold. I'm glad Summers8 is going mental. We haven't had this much gold since Stanton roamed free. Maybe it’s the same person but different personalities? You know what? I could see that. That would be such a perfect way for him to troll us. Him or Weirdraptor even. |

I agree with the OP. I think it was Joss Whedon who set the vapid tone. Jon Favreau’s IM films were good. The Avengers was spiffy but much of that was the attraction of seeing the characters together, which the comicbook industry had known for 60 years. I don’t condemn Whedon’s first film completely, but yeah, it is rather soulless and it doesn’t surprise me one bit from what I’ve seen of his work.
