I am not a fan of Didio or a fan of New 52, but this guy is too butthurt even for me. His anal bleeding will drown the world.
Let's go one "mistake" at a time.
#11 - New Titles fail because DC doesn't promote anything not starring an A-lister.
This is true, but the problem is this was happening before New 52, and it was happened before Didio was in charge. In fact, this was happening years before I began reading comics. It's not a new thing like Last Angry Geek seems to think. The only thing Didio is guilty of here is not being able to fix a problem that is older than him.
#10 - The new Origins that replaced the old ones suck.
For the most part I completely agree with this. They are replacing origins written by the likes of Frank Miller, Kirby, Paul Dini, etc.. with shit written by the likes of Greg Pak. Fuck that.
#9 - They screwed up Wildstorm.
This is true, but again, this happened before Didio took over. I would say Levitz killed Wildstorm because he didn't understand this. Hell, he forced the last successful book from that imprint, The Boys, out of DC.
#8 - Missing Characters like Spoiler, Wally West and Cass Cain.
I understand fans of these characters want to see them again, but Last Angry Geek makes it sound like DC would be swimming in money if they published a Spoiler comic. They did that already, and it sold Okeyish... I think. Spoiler is not the next Deadpool.
#7 -- The 5 years rules messes with continuity.
I agree it is a mess, but DC continuity has always been a mess. Can this guy's rose tinted glasses get any more rose?
#6 -- Amanda Waller is no longer fat.
Agreed. Waller should always be fat, black angry woman.
#5 -- The No Marriages Rule.
Agree. It is stupid. One of my favorite comics right now is Fantastic Four and FF, starring the very married Richards family.
#4 -- Elimination of the Teen Titans Continuity
Agree. Again DC is eliminating their best stories out of continuity and replacing them with rotten, buttery diarrhea.
#3 -- The New 52 has no explained backstory and they are making crap as they go.
Agree.
#2 -- The treatment of women.
This one is tricky. I agree that they turned Starfire into a mindless sexhole, but then Last Angry Geek complains that they turned a bunch of other female characters into sluts because they have sex with other people now. Really? This is stupid, and it is puritanism trying to disguise itself as liberalism. I know he is a fat nerd so he calls slut anyone with more sexual experience that himself, which in this case is anyone who has a whiffed a vagina.
#1 -- Creator Abuse.
This one is weird and creepy, because he starts talking about the way DC has managed to piss off creators more than it had ever done before. I agree with that, DC is scaring away good talent (I am not including Leifeild in that group).
But somehow he manages to change the topic about the way DC is treating fans and saying that DC wants to tell us what we want instead of listening to us and giving us what we want. There is a bit of a problem here. Fans are not a hive mind entity. What this guy is complaining about is that DC is not listening to HIM. Ok, we get it, DC is not publishing many things to his liking. DC is not publishing things to my liking either, but I don't pretend to be the voice of the masses.
Even weirder, earlier in the video he complains that DC is pandering to its core audience of male fans, and then he complains that DC is not listening to the fans. Make up your mind.
