No offense intended, Phil. I was reading your entire posts. I just stated my opinion. I suppose I just can't get as worked up over Johns' treatment of Spectre as some of you do, so it causes me to downplay the inconsistencies.
And no, I don't think DC should change Spectre just to fit Johns' vision(s). But I don't think he's the only writer who would treat him this way, or who would have similar problems.
But bringing up his FC arc a while back doesn't refute my point. Yes, they established his position and power. And no, they haven't done anything to change that formally. But my point was, they should do that, imo. Because when I read an arc and it includes Spectre, I groan. Because A. He should be powerful enough to end most threats with a simple decree, B. He's probably going to job somehow to make the threat seem credible, and C. Not every arc can come up with a decent philosophical reason for God not to want to intervene or not granting him the power to overcome the problem, so there will be times when he has to be dealt with in stupid ways. So has Johns treated him horribly? Yes, no argument there. But, as before, such treatment eventually is inevitable given the character's nature. So I just ignore his presence in any arc these days.
So I heartily dislike Spectre as a character. He should be removed from DC Earth to the extent that his non-involvement isn't questioned in each new arc. Do we wonder why Eternity didn't stop Marvel's Civil War? No. And that's the kind of treatment Spectre should get.
