Seeing the X-Files go on like this makes me sad. I love the early seasons.

Whereas J. Michael Straczynski took time and care crafting Babylon 5, making sure he had the series’ story planned out years in advance, making significant changes only when real-world issues got in the way, Chris Carter has no vision, no goal, makes shit up as he goes along, and changes his mind on a whim.

Chris Carter is the Anti-Straczynski.

So Chris Carter wouldn’t write a Superman walking around aimlessly and almost letting a woman commit suicide?

He’d probably make Superman part of the alien conspiracy … until he doesn’t. And he’d make Supes a Kryptonian … until he isn’t.

All joking aside, I’m not a fan of Straczynski’s superhero work, either. Superman: Earth One was crud, the “spider totem” stuff he injected into Spidey’s backstory was beyond unnecessary, and Thor … I hate that movie. The man should stick to stuff like Babylon 5.
