I think he's referring to the fact that Straczynski HATED writing OMD, but Quesada forced him to do it anyway. While I can understand where thats coming from, he still could've done it in a better way. Yeah, I see that now. I looked it up I don't see where Quesada is coming from though. He hates Mary Jane, and he's the Executive Editor, so he gives a giant middle finger to the fans? Lame. Anyway this actually kind of speaks to my point. Quesada took sole control of the creative direction of the comic book... and we got that. But the only reason he was able to do that was because he was the head editor. And that's what I'm trying to get at, when the editor steps into the creative process to far, it's just as bad as if he's not there at all.

I guess technically that's "interference" since Strasynski was given the "credit" for writing it, but the way I see it, the problem is one guy making decisions without having anyone to tell him he's being an idiot, regardless of whether his title is writer or editor or marketing executive.

Agreed. Editors go overboard, you get Countdown and One More Day. Writers with no editor, we get Frank Miller's latest works.

Countdown?

Countdown to Final Crisis.
Not one of the most fondly remembered Crisis crossovers in DC history.
From what I gather, it was heavily mandated by the editors (apparently the editor hated 52 and wanted to do it right)

Atop the Fourth Wall is the only reason I know.
He spent an entire month covering it, which should tell you plenty about it.

I loved the last episode. After a season of mistrust and angst they resolved most of the dangling plot threads with honest communication. Who would have expected that in a show about teenage superheroes?
(The voice acting for the Riddler REALLY grates on me though)

I watched the Finale on YouTube. Young Justice airs in Brazil a week or two early, so it's already up with subtitles. I'll watch it again in English when it comes out, but I just had to check on my suspicion.

Because I have an 8 year old and an 11 year old, and that's exactly how they resolve crap on Dora the Explorer. Is this what super her stories have come to? "Honest Communication saves the day!" And you're applauding that? Excuse me. I'm going to vomit.

I get your point, WK. Arguing, beating each others and getting manipulated by villains is what a teenage superhero should be like. Not one of those goody-good (early) Power Ranger crap where they solve their friendship problems in civil way.
YES!

How often was anything ever resolved through honest communication? And that's without the massive egoes of super powered beings. (Think about this for a second... these are people who literally believe it is their sole duty to protect the entire world)

I dont care about reality. If I did, I probably wouldnt watch cartoons meant for teenagers. Reality sucks, becouse it doesnt have giant robots, super powers and everyone is a jerk. I dont want my superheroes to be realistic. I saw Kickass and as amusing as it was at times, I was glad my comics and cartoons werent like this.

I honestly cannot believe you're arguing FOR the most boring resolution possible. I've got some recommendations for you; My Little Pony, Thomas the Tank Engine, and the Smurfs. They all resolve things through communication and sharing each and every episode. Knock yourself out.
