CO, you've been talking about that sort of thing for a long time. You're like a veteran thinking he's still in Nam. That sort of extremist movement is a predictable phase in any franchise, man. It's died down for the most part.

Did you ever follow the Batman franchise? There was a phase where Nolan was THE man (some even professing him as God, in ways I'm not sure were meant to be humorous), and Burton was THE failure who was never "faithful to the comics."

Ask DocLathropBrown.

Anyway, I agree it's disgusting when old fans betray the classics, but like I said, it's a predictable phase of any large franchise.
