  1. That's always the case, though. Everything's all bright and shiny after the big event, but the status quo soon returns.

     

    All of the terrible shit instantly goes away, too. We've been conditioned not to care about anything that happens in comics. Like, most of the world got broken in half in Fear Itself and it didn't even matter. There's a throwaway line about autism rates rising by like 8000% or something over a panel of a mountain sized stack of bodies by the Eiffel Tower or something. 

     

    And who cared?

     

    No one, I guess. It gets harder and harder to find a sense of stakes in Marvel Comics lately, unless it's something small scale that effects a character I like. 

  2. I went to a friend of a friend's house to watch MITB the other week, place was packed. The guy I was sitting next to wasn't on the 'still real to me' level, but it was fascinating to me how he still reacted in a very legit and visceral way to what was going on.

     

    Like, AJ heads to the ring during Dolph's match:

     

    My brain: Oh! It's AJ. Well, she's gonna cost him the match somehow. I wish they weren't doing this, I like them as a trio, even if there is an odd heel/face dynamic. Well, here goes....

     

    This guy: "Wait, what? What is... She shouldn't even be in the ring! GET HER OUT OF THE RING SHE'S JUST A VALET RIGHT NOW. What the hell is she even fucking thinking?! DAMN IT why is she such a spotlight hog?!"

     

    It was awesome. Whole night was like that. Kayfabe is still alive and well in the way that this guy processes a thing that he knows, somewhere in his brain, his fake.

  3. There is no way someone like Gordy should be in the discussion. I think The thread title is misleading people. It's super heavyweights. If Gordy or Hansen are in then you might as well add hogan. Batista, Brock and 500 other guys. We are talking giant fat dudes who do splashes

     

    Yeah, I think there are Big Men (Kane! Luke Gallows!) and then there are Monsters (Yokozuna! Mark Henry!). And then there is the Biggest Little Man.
