Meltzer on Buffy
Meltzer on Buffy
Mar 06I hate to be a big ol’ bitchy fanboy, but this news pretty much insures a steaming pile of shit will squeeze out smack in the middle of Buffy Season Eight. I’ve just grown to dislike Meltzer’s writing so much…MEH!
(WARNING: Spoilers at the link.)
Jane Espenson and Doug Petrie, too, though! (bright side…)
More than Meltzer’s writing I’ve been bothered by his inability to “get” the medium, the serial nature, the value of characters, the value of consistent portrayals of characters, why you might not just retcon rape & mind-wipe into the story…stuff like that. Maybe it won’t be that way for Buffy? Maybe he’ll “get” it, since it isn’t your traditional comics story?
Gah. Maybe not!
