Final Crisis/Fridge: Difference between revisions

{{tropework}}

* I just read the conclusion to ''[[Batman]] R.I.P.'' It just hit me that IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE! What hit me a second later was: {{spoiler|IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO!}} But while I'm talking about DC continuity, I originally didn't like the fact that ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'' ended, and immediately afterward, we got ''[[Fifty Two|52]]'' and ''[[Countdown to Final Crisis|Countdown]]'', which was a blatant lead up to [[Final Crisis|yet another crisis]]. I originally thought: Wow, DC... way to leech our money you bastards. But then I thought, wait... this is all one event. INFINITE CRISIS ISN'T OVER! It's in the title, it's INFINITE. And as I was typing this very statement, Ultimate Fridge Brilliance if you will, I realized that it's really a send-up of [[Continuity Snarl]] and [[Cosmic Retcon|Cosmic Retcons]] and quick continuity fixes, as well as a MASSIVE [[Take That]] at continuity-obsessed fanboys. I mean, the whole reason Superboy-Prime ended up a villain was because he just wouldn't stop bitching about how his world was so much better and how he was gonna find his perfect earth and make everything better. It just dawned on me that Superboy-Prime is just a send-up of the [[Unpleasable Fanbase]], the assholes who get mad because their favorite comic goes in the wrong artistic direction, or somebody dies that they don't want dead. Seriously, consider his origin. He was a normal kid in a universe with no superheroes. Superboy-Prime is what happens when you give the [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys|geek with too much time on his hands]] superpowers. And in the end, what happens? Continuity ends up more FUBAR than it was PRIOR to Infinite Crisis. What an epiphany. -- [[Maximus]]
