Episode 197 - Emergency Character Development: Comic Book Overhaul
After a brief hiatus, the Nerd Byword podcast is back with a bang, diving deep into the world of comics and the changes that are desperately needed within its canon. As we approach our milestone 200th episode, we've taken a moment to reflect on what aspects of our favorite comic book characters are driving us insane and what needs to be done to evolve these stories for the better.
In this latest episode, we explore the concept of "emergency character development," focusing on the changes we'd like to see in iconic characters like Batman and Spider-Man. Dave and Kris share their thoughts on why Bruce Wayne's character might need a break, delve into Peter Parker's perpetual employment issues, and discuss the potential for Martian Manhunter to gain more popularity by exploring his long-lived history on Earth and his shape-shifting abilities.
Join us as we dissect these ideas and more, offering our take on what needs to change to keep comics fresh and engaging. Listen to the full episode now and share your thoughts on what changes you'd like to see in your favorite comic book characters.
