All of this controversy and these accusations just make me want to work harder on my respect threads, and gaining a reputation as an unbiased party. As I don't really do serious debating anymore, and I respect DC and Marvel equally, hopefully whenever there's a dispute about 'is this feat legit or not'? Or if something is being misrepresented, people will default to 'ask Mike to take a look at it.'
Probably need to work a lot harder to make that the case, though.

Galan generally does what you're describing.

You Superman fans and undercover superman supporters have a well known habit of questioning anything said about superman that you don't like. Abhil is lying as usual. When it was said that Superman destroyed a multiverse, did you ask for proof? No. When it was said that Superman was depowered before he hit WF, did you ask for proof? No. When abhil said that Superman was stronger than Gladiator, Sentry, Hyperion and count nefaria put together, did you ask for proof? No. But let someone say superman didn't do this or that, THEN you come running asking for proof.

It's the persons who haven't been reading the comics and just go off respect threads being the ones endlessly mocked and corrected at every turn.
Your effort in making RTs is much appreciated, but it's not a substitute for people informing and rationalizing their positions themselves.
Well, then you have about 2674 pages of comic book vs threads to go through.
This stuff has, does, and will always happen. You can have 10 persons reading the same comics, seeing them different, and they'll swear they're unbiased, or that they're reading it the right way, and then you get 20 pages in a thread where they're arguing for nobody.
It's part of the charm of comic book threads.

We have alot less new posters on this board or users new to comics. Most people here have been reading comics for several decades. So, there's a lot less of a need for experience readers to show people the ropes like was the case 10-15 years ago.
Well I meant more along the lines of someone who is willing to do a lot of research in order to test various claims.
Like I remember for a while, people kept claiming that future Franklin Richards (Psi-Lord) used the power of a Big Bang once, but when I actually read the comic, he was just transmuting some rock into antimatter, and he said "Get ready for the big bang", which, in that particular context, just meant 'large explosion', not the energy of the creation of the universe like people had been saying.

Alot of claims that were once considered indisputable are being fact checked. I think we live in the era of comic discussions where once sacred truths are being challenged; at least on this board anyway. It's everyday now.
Originally posted by Endless MikeI hate to say this, but this is what I found when I first joined this site. People claim that I hated superman because I actually researched their claims and found 90 percent of them were false. I like the way you think, find out the truth and don't listen to some nut that makes a false claim and then others jump on board without a shread of evidence. Now if you correct them about superman, you ARE going to get called every insulting name they can come up with. So be careful. Remember this place cherish the S man.

Well I'm going through Pre-Crisis Superman comics right now, starting with the Golden Age. Although I haven't gotten to most of his more famous feats yet.
