Okay now that that's done on to the subject at hand... There are times when I'm vexed by "good Writing" when it comes to comic books, television, cartoons, and movie scripts, along with novels... Now I'm aware that everyone here has different opinions on what they consider to be a "well written story." (I mean there were alot of people who loved The Dark Knight, and from what I saw from commercials, and a presentation on The History Channel concerning BatMan and his antagonists and their psychological motives behind they're actions, I'd have to say it looked like it would be a good watch. But there was one review that would've killed it for me. And that was this one dude found it so boring, he started falling asleep because to him all The Joker seemed to do was blow up stuff.) And I for was disappointed by SuperMan Returns Because I mean this is Lex Luthor they could've had him come up with a better scheme than luring SuperMan onto a Kryptonite made island, and then kicking him while he was down...
But in any case even though our taste in story arcs, I believe we can all agree that a good story is one that keeps your attention to where if they leave off at a cliffhanger you'll be left yearning for more.( Which mind you is what I hate because with tv shows you have to wait about a week. Where as with Graphic Novels, Literary Novels, Comic Books or Movies, you have to wait a few months or perhaps a few years with Novels and Movies.) And as an anime fan who was left disappointed by some of the western stories that were made in later years, I began to think that anime was the only thing left that would hold my interest after three years ago. Until I started looking at Marvel and DC's material as well as other big named Comic Book corporations like "Top Cow" and "Image Comics," and figured that the material from those corporations where the only things in my opinion that could rival the interest and intrigue of anime and manga. But I then took an even deep look as I was nagged by the ending of Pirates Of The Carribean: Dead Man's Chest and sought to see At World's End. And that's when I felt that I came to the epiphany that "Good Writing" isn't just found in anime and Manga, but practically everywhere, I just have to find it. But as I look at all of these interesting titles and authors, I often think to myself, "I've got alot to live up to. O_O"
And I'm sure there are many of you aspiring writers who feel the same as I do...
