Re: Stupid length limit.
Oh, don't be so whiny. We're both intelligent enough to understand the nature of Ad Hominem attacks (or is it Ad Homiem, I always spell it wrong).
Your assumption of my assumptions are laughably erroneous.
I, in fact, removed several parentheticals about that very fact.
But since you did remove them, I have no way of confirming your statement here as fact or not and it just comes off as smugness on your part.
So put up or shut up time. I always love cited sources!
It's kind of funny how you bring up random unrelated factoids and claim they've demolished my arguments.
I like to back my claims up with examples. It's fun. Though I do sometimes devolve into "X exists and therefor disproves your point" type arguments.
The Japanese pop and rock music scene is, while distinct and recognizable, clearly shows the Western influences, because, unlike comics, the influence was ongoing.
The rock music scene didn't get a few early influences, and then suddenly western music stopped selling, so it shot off in its own direction.
Hmm...thinking for a moment, I must ask this:
How hard does your analogy hold within the context of the DCU?
To be perfectly honest, you are assuming that your anaolgy holds true in regards to how Superheroics was filtered in. Their brief appearance in the 1940s, the lull period of growing length and then their re-appearance some time vaugely less than 15 years(?) ago, it actualy does allow for a period of non influence close to what we have in the real world, though admittedly lesser.
The established forms of hero did develop between the 1950s and 1970s for the most part. So I do not think the analogy holds as true as you think it does.
And, once again, you prove yourself incapable of arguing in good faith, and have to resort to insults.
Ignorant insults, to boot.
You did claim that all henshin heroes were tech-based through your arguments and that was clearly false, ergo, you did not know and thus were by definition ignorant.
It's not resorting too, it's calling the emperor naked when he is.
