I didn’t think they could make the helmet look worse. I underestimated their ability to screw it up.

This might not matter in the archives, or hopefully even as it goes live, but at the time of writing this Sunday night, Comic Book Plus was having server issues where they store their images, including ads. The Digital Comic Museum doesn’t have the comic at all. So for the review I had to go to the same legally questionable site I get my Ultraverse comic scans to review. Hopefully by the time you read this the link goes to a page with actual scanned comics. At first I thought DC might have tried to pull them despite being in public domain like the other Charltons since they have done this with some of Billy Batson’s “Captain Marvel” adventures. That does not appear to be the case, but I thought I should warn you in the name of full disclosure. If they don’t fix it before I’m ready to go over the final issue, which the questionable site doesn’t have, we may have a hole in the reviews for awhile.

I want to emphasize one thing she said. My dislike of something doesn’t stop you from liking it. If you like something I don’t, that’s fine. I probably like something you don’t and that’s not going to stop me from liking it. I go over why I don’t like something, why I don’t think it’s a good idea, and try to keep that in mind with my stories. You’re basically telling someone they aren’t allowed to share their opinion because they disagree with you, or assuming putting it out there is just being a troll for clicks or something along that line, and that bugs me. People are allowed to disagree with you. You in turn are allowed to disagree with them and state your reasons why as they did about what they like or don’t like.
And yes, I have seen people I know do positive reviews get called out for allegedly only talking about what they hate. Not only will they put videos or article out going over what they like, they may highlight something they thought did it better in the very post about the thing they don’t like. We get upset because we’re fans of that thing and we’ll defend the stuff they don’t like. I defend stuff the internet looks down upon, like Scrappy-Doo, classic Battlestar Galactica (including Muffet the daggit), and Godzooki. We’re all biased, we all have a reason why we like or don’t like somebody, and telling someone they’re wrong to share their opinion isn’t right. Should someone do both positive and negative reviews? Maybe, and I certainly try to. That’s my choice, and they’re entitled to theirs as you’re entitled to yours. So stop acting like a negative review makes someone a monster and state things that aren’t in the review (except maybe as a joke in some cases to tweak their haters). Opinions are like backsides: we all have one.
