Date: 2010-05-13 06:25 am (UTC)I don't think it's bad to like your ideas better than "official" ideas when they're better. I wish they had the courage of their convictions to let these old timer's die. DC is "about" legacy to a fair extent, but the reason legacy can be so meaningful is only true of . . . the mentors do, in fact, weaken and die. Death is a natural and necessary part of the legacy relationship. So preferring that to the official position just makes sense to me.
I agree about Barry and Hal. They were more interesting dead than alive, anyway, and in dying they made way for more interesting characters, like Wally and Kyle, Jon and Guy. Barry, in particular, was MUCH more interesting as Wally's image of perfection when he had, in fact, long ago surpassed his mentor.
It is disappointing, though. Geoff Johns has done some great work but he seems bound and determined to piss it away trying to breathe new life into rotten corpses.
