Strong opinions are fine with me...I just can't seem to work up a hatred of writers or artists of comic books...I mean they are, well, comic books...

Hyperbole and histrionics are a problem in fan communities in general, whether comic book or otherwise. Everything is either "the greatest story/episode ever!" or "anyone who likes this deserves to be shot in the face!" Creators are all either geniuses or hacks. The problem is this totally misses the middle ground of creators who are pretty mediocre overall but manage to put out a few good stories (*cough*Jim Shooter*cough), to really talented writers who have also laid a few eggs in their time. Of course there is also difference of opinion--for example, I personally think Frank Miller is the most overrated creator ever. I believe he just trots out the same grin-n-gritty schtick over and over again; schtick which was fresh back when he first served it in the 1980s in Daredevil and Dark Knight, but which has become so copied that it has almost become a parody of itself. However, I respect someone's right to believe that Miller is a genius (even though they are wrong  ).

I think Braniac 5 says that there was 45 types of kryptonite in the Legion of Superheroes animated series and it was proven in many tv shows, movies and comic books.
