I’m glad you got to comic books. This has been happening in comics since the 60s!

I used to say that the Marvel and DC universes are the two largest, unified artistic collaborations of all time

Both of those worlds also have ways of adding in wildly different aesthetics and yet the fans can still handle seeing it all as a whole

I don’t think movie and tv writers trust viewers in the same way any more

Which is weird

Because some of the most beloved series in the 80s -- such as Indiana Jones -- barely make sense moment to moment

And yet folks loved them

I digress tho

My point is oozy fiction existed a long time in one way and it’s finally spreading

Wouldn’t mind this lens turned on what came before also - looking at you Timothy Zahn novels.
