Yeah, it might not be strictly accurate, but WTF? is usually used for something that makes no sense, that leaves you angry and confused. For a lot of this stuff--including the appearance of Superman--I think the term "wow" might be more appropriate.
-------------- Original message -------------- From: "Omari Confer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> lol... WTF? I think that phrase applies to the strange, the stupid and the shocking... Though when I hear the word in my ear it means that was stupid...i feel you...

Many of the things mentioned--the fate of Batman co-creator Finger, the death of Jason Todd, the appearance of the first Superman--aren't moments that shock and stun people, puzzle people, anger people. They're more like great and memorable moments in comic history. The Heroes Reborn world Franklin Richards created, the New Avengers forming and including Spider-Man, those are more milestones, maybe intriguing, but not something that make one go "WTF?". Also, I must say that colloquially, a "WTF?" moment is usually one bearing the connotation of being something you don't like, something you think is kind of stupid. Thus, Spider-Man revealing his secret identity to the world, the Mephisto deal with Peter and MJ that literally erased their marriage, qualify as a "WTF". And maybe some things that turn out to be cool but are incredibly stunning at first qualify, such as Bucky Barnes being resurrected as the Winter Soldier. But a large part of this list doesn't meet that standard to me, rather just being memorable moments in comic history. In my humble opinion, but then, WTF do I know? -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Omari Confer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I HEART THIS LIST... http://www.ugo.com/comics/wtf-moments-in-comics/?cmpid=ppc_ggl_ugo_wtfc_092908&gclid=CLf52qWTsJYCFQSwFQodUG-wLQ -- cwm blog http://centralheatingblog.blogspot.com STRING THEORY http://www.stringtheory.mypodcast.com -- cwm blog http://centralheatingblog.blogspot.com STRING THEORY http://www.stringtheory.mypodcast.com
