Why did Waid hate them?
waid is a giant asshole.
Waid wanted to do something new with Wally instead of using old Barry baddies
>>154531501Demonstrate how he hated the Rogues
>>154531874I learned today that the main villain of Waid's run, Abra Kadabra, was created by Waid and not one of Barry's old villains.
>>154531933okay
>>154531501Waid is just a huge shithead cunt.
>>154531501Didn't Heatwave gain a good ending?
>>154531933what the
>>154531933>Oh my Barry, Waid dared to give Wally his own villains! Outrageous!
>>154531874second post correct postIt also meant when he did use classic villains like Thawne it hit harder
Waid has never written a single comic I like. I have no idea why he is hailed as some sort of major talent.
One of the greatest comic book writers ever and yet /co/ hates him for some reason.
>>154532607Because other people like things you don't but you're too autistic to figure that out
>>154532489And none of the villains that Waid created for Wally were any good.
>>154531933>Abra Kadabra, was created by Waid The fuck are you talking about?
>>154532476>>154532925It's making fun of the post that said that Waid didn't want to rely on using Barry's old villains, you dumb fucks
He didn't. In the afterword of the Underworld Unleashed trade he acknowledged that most of DC's golden and silver age villains had a reputation for being lame and outdated, but said that reading his old silver age comics for research gave him more appreciation for these cornballs and resulted in him changing his plans of having the event turn all those villains into ultra edgy serial killers and mass murderers. He sent them to Hell for a bit to make them surlier, but brought them back more or less the same.
>>154532951rude
>>154532925Time Waid went back into the past to invent a villain about 8 years before he was born.
>>154531501It wasn't just Waid, majority of writers in the 90s hated old 60s villains, >Marvel created Scourge of the Underworld to kill off most of the sillier 60s villains. >DC had Underworld Unleashed to upgrade their sillier silver age villains into edgy 90s villains>A lot of Spider-Man villains stopped appearing or died by 1995 or so.>MOS saw all superman villains replaced by newer edgier versions>Green Lantern villains were replaced by newer edgier versions for Kyle>60 X-Men villains fell by the wayside as Magneto got a new lackey team and Apocalypse/Sinister took over as the big league villains
>>154532996>DC's golden and silver age villains had a reputation for being lame and outdatedOver time I've come to find out that back then people got their opinions about comics for publications similar to Wizard Magazine because it was cheaper buying them and the comics they shilled than buying a bunch of random comics and getting disappointed by them. That's how we got situations like the Prankster being a cold blooded killer in his first appearance but everyone thinks he's just a silly goofball inconveniencing Superman for the 200th time.
