>>130196095>but I've always felt JMS refused to see whenever his own ideas were shit and used the low popularity of his fellow co-workers to shift the blame. Maybe true, maybe not.Honestly I think you're right on the money. JMS was shitting on people when Sins Past was being reviled and I hear he even said stuff like "Grow up and stop [contemporary equivalent of slut-shaming] Gwen". He only began distancing himself from the trash fire it became when he noticed One More Day was ANOTHER huge trash fire, but if he really hated either story he'd just quit and not tell either of them.
Another sign of how he gets the fuck out of dodge and just tries to dissociate himself from shit is how he dealt with backlash - by literally dumping it on other people's shoulders. Sins Past's followup was dropped on a protegé of his, when people bought The Other but hated it he left PAD to untangle whatever mess he made overall, seeing the sign on the wall with OMD he basically decided to say Quesada was to blame despite his own take with the deal with the devil being even worse and then you had the absolute mess with Grounded over at DC. When people didn't love the hell out of his run, he, again, dumped the conclusion on yet another unassuming coworker.
