LJ presents: A Contest of Champions

Jul 13, 2015 23:02

On a technical view of the matter, it all started when she was just 17 months old. But if you're looking for the true genesis, that came a month later. And then things really and then kicked into high gear. Since September 2008, LJ has been spinning tales that have kept me - and all of you - delightfully on the edge of our seats. She's mixed canons ( Read more... )

I really like, and appreciate, LJ giving everyone a happy ending to finish off the "golden age" of her storytelling. Unlike some happy endings I feel it's earned, not tacked on, by virtue of her having brought all the plotlines and character relationships full circle. As usual, the kidlet impresses me.

And I'm more than a little eager to see where we go next, too!

Ah, simply wonderful. I almost -- almost -- feel sorry for the villains. It all puts me in mind of the issue of Justice Society that featured two sorcerers crashing the JSA/JLA Thanksgiving meal. They had a similar reaction . . .

Also: there should be more super-powered sporting events. There are more than enough superhumans out there for that to make for a great charity thing -- powers don't have to just be for punching bad guys!

Looking forward, as ever, to whatever comes next!

That, and the final episode of Justice League Unlimited. One last visual role call as everyone chases the Injustice Gang down the steps and into Metropolis...

I've a hope/suspicion LJ will keep super-heroic sporting events as part of her future games. One thing she's done (again unconsciously, in my opinion) is create an actual functioning society where some people are super-powered and some are not. Granger/Skull, for all his evil, actually helped a lot of people on both sides come to terms with the way their city does and doesn't work. I'm sure that'll be reflected in what's to come (especially given the identities of the next Mayor and the future Director of SHIELD...).

So great to have all the heroes from LJs past stories to return for LJs version of the X-Men post trials baseball game!

Loved the ending & the group shot as well :D

Normally, I'm anything but a fan of having to dig around in our storage areas to find old toys. This time, I did it happily and with an incredibly wide grin on my face :)
