It was supposed to simplify the continuity of DC comics, but it only make it more confusing.
But what do you think? Would DC comics be better without it?
Was Crisis on Infinite Earths a mistake
COIE was probably the weirdest way to celebrate company's 50th anniversary. What were they thinking? They try to correct sth not needing any correction.
If we ever get that The Brave and The Bold COIE musical, then it will not have been a mistake.
People who say that COIE saved DC comics never actually read any Pre-Crisis comics.
Sorry for being so butthurt btw, but this comic really pisses me off.
>maybe
Well it attracted the best talent comics had to offer and gave DC the best 15 years of its existence. So despite the story and continuity changes enraging canon-obsessed fans it really was a huge benefit for the company.
It only got stupid when writers and editors tried to undo what Crisis changed.
Maybe I need to show some proof that COIE was a mistake, so here it is:
- Supergirl and Powergirl backstory became overly convoluted
- Alfred became Bruce Wayne's foster parent for no reason
- Hawkman became two different characters (Carter Hall and Katar Hol) with different backstories living on the same Earth
-Whole DC history became insanely compressed to only 10 years
>gave DC the best 15 years of its existence
I'd argue
>It only got stupid when writers and editors tried to undo what Crisis changed.
But if it didn't happen, you wouldn't have to undo it.
I am not against rebooting old characters, but you didn't have to destroy the Multiverse to do so
