Unironic capeshit. It's just dumb and unimaginative.

Michael Bay in writing form. And no, not "The Rock" Michael Bay, more like "Armageddon" Bay.

Johns’ writing style is “Doesn’t Have To Be On Time Cus People Will Eat His Shit Up No Matter If it’s Good Or Bad.”

But reddit tells me that his GL run is the greatest comic run of all time.

It's kind of how people say Donny Cates' "Thanos Wins" is the best take on the character ever, when Starlin already wrote him to death before and after him.
Casuals, simply put.

And then he needs guys like Morrison and Rucka to calm him down like in 52.

I still maintain that johns is fine in small doses, the problem is when he insists on stepping out of his niche and wants to be "smart" 52 is a good example other writers bringing out the best in him

Imagine if someone said "what is Terry Pratchet's writing style?"

He hasn't read anything remotely classic, at all. Same when he went and claimed his favorite Inhumans run was Jenkins' then went and ignored everything from the latest runs and even Jenkins himself in his shitty Death of the Inhumans mini. Only semi-reference he did was Hickman's Future Foundation prophecy in a very dated way.
Or when he claimed he was a DnA fan yet proceeded to reference Bendis GOTG with the Star-Lord/Kitty pairing and add a bunch of MCU synergy.

ITT: people who haven't read his JSA
Or his Booster Gold
Or his Flash
Or his Superman
Most of you only know him from stupid shit like Flashpoint and Identity Crisis.

His Superman was a big pile of nothing though. Not outright bad, but really mediocre. Even at the peak of his career he never could do anything that stood out with Superman.

He's the only reason Bizarro World is in continuity again, so I'm grateful to him for that at least.

I think that's really at the core of Johns' appeal. He brings back goofy old stuff that people love, instead of creating shitty edgelord OCs that are doomed to be forgotten instantly. That's really all you need to do to stand out among modern cape writers.
