Grant Morrison on typecasting and the Internet
The first issue of Mark Waid's new creator-owned superhero comic, Irredeemable, came out yesterday. It's about the world's greatest superhero becoming its greatest supervillain. Anyway, it has an afterword by Grant Morrison, who, in-between praising the book, discusses how society has a strong tendency to typecast not just actors but people in general, inluding writers.

Is this entry legal? Here, one page from the issue, to cover my bases --

	BWAHAHAHA! Not enough cat macroes in the world for that. What an intensely silly thing to base a comic on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Though to be fair, I think there's going to be more to him going crazy than just people insulting him. For example, it's implied that the other heroes did something bad to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Then why do an afterword leading with "ho shit, someone called him an underwear pervert!" Because 'Superman goes crazy from being ridiculed" is a much different premise than 'Superman goes crazy because the Justice League betrays him'. For one thing, the former sounds like a Mad magazine parody.

Can't you just picture Superman hunting down Perez Hilton because he said Supes looked bloated?

Maybe how they betrayed him involved underwear, perversion and flipping? He's pretty hunky looking, even though his black eyebrows do not at all match his hair. (Someone watches too much bleached blond California gay porn, I guess). Hm, maybe the half-masked-face twins who say "we didn't do anything wrong" got burned at the end of the scene because the pearl necklace they were giving him ended up splashing into Superman's eyes?

	Isn't cursing allowed in indy comics? "Flipping underwear pervert?" Really? Does anyone really speak that way? Would that even offend someone? I guess the blue equivalent would be 'fucking dress-up faggot' which certainly has a nicer roll to it... but still isn't intensely offensive. Hmm. Pass. - noirsensei (Reply to this) (Parent)
