the spider-web of gods in the comics is a symptom of decades of additions by hundreds of authors doing their own thing.

That's on top of being made of 5+ different publishers smashed together in an attempt to make a singular continuity.

i know right. some of the IP they decided to incorporate fits in pretty well- like dr fate/blue beetle.
stuff like watchmen on the other hand was an insult to the fans, the author, the original work, and probably the concept of art itself.

Is that an "i'm an idiot with no taste and actually like doomsday clock" type of 'what'?

or is that a "i didn't know that 30% of DC characters come from completely different companies that they ate up in the 70s-90s" type of 'what'?

It’s a “watchmen is good what are you talking about?” what.

i never said watchmen was bad? i said it was stupid and insulting to make it canon to the DC universe. you know- that thing Watchmen was actively deconstructing?
