Such evil must never be referred to by name!

Challenge me. I'll name something he did well.

Rise to the challenge! (or not)

He keeps his haircut short so he doesn't have that weird bald guy with a mullet look.

He should just let the freak flag fly

Le freak, c'est chic.

Individuality!

I mean I could call DiDio an Oompa-Loompa. But I would never do that.

I could call DiDio a lying, psychotic sleaze. And I gladly will.

Don't forget to add Ooompa-Loompa!

Didio does sound like another prominent Oompa-Loompa type person!

Did he sing a song every time he killed off another DC character?

No that was Geoff Johns.

This made me laugh.

Thanks, guys.

Geoff kept singing "another one bites the dust!"

The more I thought about it, the more I had a problem with Johns in this regard. Given the pedigree of Courtney/Stargirl, how would he feel if someone did that character like he did Kinetix, and others?

Maybe someone should.

(But they won't)

I've definitely had the thought before, but as tempting as it might be to spitefully kill off Johns's own favorite characters in the same sort of brutal fashion as some of his victims, it's better not to stoop to his level.

I hate to say it, but I'm really close to the IDGAF spot in my life, and if I were ever to get a chance to own/operate DC, its probably the first thing I would do. He's pretty loaded at this point. He can cry all the way to the bank.

No. Second. Bringing the Legion back would be the first thing.

The HOW of it is something that could be done with tact.

I agree with EDE that it's better not to stoop to Johns' level, but I can also see where GL is coming from. The temptation and frustration can be overwhelming, and I'm speaking from personal experience. I still flare up sometimes.

The more I think of it, the more it bothers me. It seems like a big status signaling move, and much more "in your face" than anything that Waid ever did as someone who came up the ranks from the fan community.

Most likely, we'll never hear from Stargirl again unless Johns happens to come back to DC.

Down on his knees, dressed in rags, sporting the world's worst B.O.

"Please let me work for you again. I'll even sweep the floors. PLEEEASE!"

Ahh, schadenfreude

I wish I could say that I'm above that, but I'm not. LOL. Especially after this last month.

And to be clear, I don't have anything against the Stargirl character - I enjoyed the mini that they did a year or two back.

My issue is Johns mauling characters he deemed irrelevant while pushing his own character that had editorial protection while he was around (and still may, if he has a good relationship with Jim Lee).

Does seem more than a bit unfair!
