Mostyly true, but there are some threads that haven't been covered yet.

Like pre-crisis superman versus fully confident gladiator.

it has actually.......most of them were....all the threads now are basically superman/batman/hulk/juggs/wolverine/spiderman in one from or another

It had to happen, I try and bring in the likes of Grendel, Concrete etc. but Marvel fanboys want the Xmen.

we need some new fresh characters. ..people dont like change so they stick with the old established one's

TOAA you're wrong, its not that people don't want change, I think most forum visitors have no clue wo these lesser known characters are therefore they can't comment on them

I agree but unless its Marvel the "kids" don't want it.

its not that they don't want it, its their lack of knowledge on these lesser known characters (at least that's my case)

I actually think your both right some get bored and move on and those that stay have often a very narrow understanding of comics, although thats not always the case.

Ignorance means that people don't don't have any ground to debate on new characters. If anyone introduces any new characters into the forum , the threads are usually ignored and forgotten.

I think its the end my friends. Although an Influx of D.C., and manga fans would probably improve the current scenario.

Let's not be overly dramatic or anything!

I agree, 8bitChris. Plus, I don't think our imaginations have been stretched to their fullest yet.

Challenging the status quo for Marvel fans is also not allowed here.
Sometimes I feel I am the first to say the world is round

Well I had some new ones, but no one would reply because it's not Spiderman Wolverine Batman or Superman.

Then fight the power like only you can Whirly!

Exactly. I have no clue who a lot of the characters being polled are.

Thats the spirit

X-men, Superman , Thor , FF , JLA is the only think people talk about these days.

Maybe it's time for me to retire lol

Well...always reading threads about guy 1Million here, guy pre-crisis there, y-man with ubertool here, z-man with uberforce there bores me quite a lot!!!
BUT sometimes you can still find a little jewel in this forum.

Well, what shall we do?

actually all the comics i read arent mentioned,

Black lightning
papa midnite
static
icon
hardware

I sympathize with you guys unfortunately I think alot of people that come here don't actually read comics. Which would explain the vague answers and the classic giving an obscure answer such as wolverine beats superman cause he's cool. I don't think anyone thought this would last forever but, just until we found something better to do with our time. some new blood would possibly freshen thing up but, then you might end up with the same result because it seems like some of the people can barley comment on uber known character legitimately so I doubt the would surprise you if you added anime (please no DBZ) or whatever you decide. You'll just end up visiting and posting every other day, than week, than month and before you know it you won't i just hope you all have a backup plan like a fulfilling life.

^oh

X FOREVER

A lot of things get done and redone (ad nauseam) but there remains enough fresh topics to warrant occasional discussion. I won't lie, I've stopped posting so much too, and not just because I have Mod duties now. But every now and then good debates spring up, and the regular comic forum is always a pleasant alternative. But yeah, a few too many "insert popular character" threads are around, but just ignore them and do what you want and it can still be fun and productive.

I agree that the main problem is probably lack of knowledge. I've posted several threads that were 'different' (W.I.T.C.H., Abigail Whistler etc) and they were mostly ignored.

However I don't think the VS forum is in any way dead. It's just going through a slump, it'll pick up sooner or later.

HA!!!!!, I flew my space ship through a ridoactive Ultra size supernova, that exploded while i was on it and then got sucked into 4 black holes and 7 white ones, to EMERGE WITH MY POWERS!!!!!!!!!!! the title says it all kid...

SO true, man.
Newbies. Not even real newbies.
Their the the fake newbies who don't read a comic book or even know any real stuff about the characters, or they only know about somebody like spiderman(he had movies out), superman(he had movies out), batman( he had movies out).
All are top comicbookdom names.
Like people who don't watch basketball know jordan, its the same thing.

They see a movie on these few top characters and come here to post.
They don't even know any of the other comic book characters like thor,martian manhunter,amazo,boostergold,mordru,parasite,or etc.
They don't know the different periods/age eras/versions of any charcater.

Yes, said, they post shit like "Wolverine is cool so he can beat lobo" or superman can beat this Galactus guy".

Its truely said sometimes.
There is hope though.
If we try real hard we might be able to come up with some original threads that are cool as hell and haven't been done 1000000 times.

Or at least, maybe, just maybe, if wetry real hard we can make these "fake-newbies" disappear".
blowup

clap

There's always my old "Bar Room Brawl" posts which allow anyone to create and add to the story?

Why do people b*tch and moan about there not being anything different or there being no new character threads... when whenever something different is made the thread is left unanswered and slowly sinks as it's piled over by threads about Batman, Wolverine, Spiderman, Superman, Hulk etc?

Because a lot of those unanswered threads are started by me
