Alan Moore thinks superhero comics are gash

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Sounds like my mom.

Wonder what he would think of Transformers?

Or do one big poo in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I bet they weren't even excited by and then subsequently disappointed by Star Wars Prequels. Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

"I don't like it, therefore no one should"

The right principle of course, his mistake is applying it to his dislikes rather than mine. A common error.

Random thoughts:

1) He's clearly trolling.

2) There are some decent points tucked in there about superhero stuff primarily being aimed at a more mature audience than they used to be.

3) That's basically his fault anyway.

4) He's clearly trolling.
