Just wondering.

[elisi]

These last few weeks lots of people wrote to Scott Allie (and awesome letters they were too), so I was wondering - has anyone written to him about #34 and told him that now we're caught between going 'wtf?' ('cause NONE of it makes sense) and laughing our heads off, because the 'porn' is fugly as hell and so tame it could probably go on ff.net?

ETA: Oh - and how is Joss reconciling this 'canon' thing he keeps talking about with the very clear re-boot he's performed? If you're going to change the whole mythology, at least be upfront about it. Or maybe he conveniently *forgot* seven years worth of continuity... Wouldn't put it past him to be honest.

Not sure why I'm writing this. Mostly I think that this whole sorry affair should be renamed The Emperor's New Clothes. Except clearly 'Tee-hee, look they're naked' is what they're now going for... Hm. A better name would probably be 'Buffy: The Porn Star Years'. 'Cause nothing says female empowerment like taking off your clothes! (The more I think about it, the more it bothers me. Of course the art is too ugly for words, but the objectification is deeply unpleasant. I don't care that it might be 'subversive' - it's still *there*. Also, I love my mood theme. Go Ianto!)


Re. why Joss is writing this, then paratti has the best theory so far.

Any letter I write (and I actually have to write a letter to the editor for my argumentation class . . . . the comics are a serious enough subject, aren't they?), will come with the caveat that I appreciated the panel with Spike and Buffy fighting side-by-side: it was beautifully done, so kudos for that and for reminding people that Angel wasn't Buffy's only love. He's just the one who thought godhood and cataclysmic fucking to end the universe was a good idea.

Then the snark would begin. Desexed Barbie and Ken Do The Kama Sutra-- Now With More Universe Retconning Exposition!

Dear DH: We appreciate the crumb! (Especially since the crumb appears fairly untainted by the crack...)
