The Silver Age and Golden Age were both really stupid.

*but fun

Because comicbooks were silly fun that no one took seriously.

It was commonly held that comic books were written for mental defectives anyway, so why would you bother trying to write something the average simple-minded child-man wouldn't understand?

You mean plagiarizing duties, right?

Was Martian Manhunter a thing on Earth-2?

>>92045449
they aren't

To be honest the "Maturing" of comics has made the comics dumber than ever.

They don't even have dumb and fun anymore, just dumb.

Does anyone else find Golden Age Bruce Wayne and his millionaire lifestyle incredibly comfy-looking?

Because comic books are for children

I remember in old Fantastic Four comics pretty much EVERY badguy's answer for Human Torch was asbestos.
Literal hoses full of asbestos pouring onto him.

I don't know, that actually seems like a pretty clever (if contrived) way to set up a decent premise. I like that silver age comics just did whatever as long as it was entertaining.
