It's the same with all television adaptations of comic properties, because that's what they are. Adaptations. I mean, I know I wouldn't want to watch an exact translation of a comic I've already read. What would be the point? Allowing shows like this to take liberies like those is what makes them interesting.
No, you're absolutely correct, Truth, but it should be one or the other. If you're going to divorce yourself from all the spandex and comic book conventions - stay that way! That's all I'm saying.
