I have a question regarding DC meta. If the Empty Hand decreed that it is time for the DCU to end, because it grew bored of it and found another universe for entertainment, could anyone or anything really stop it?

He's not omnipotent, "Great Evil Beast" is DC big baddy similar to Marvel "One Below All"

That'd fucking annihilate DC, honestly.
As Empty Hand represents the readers, as soon as the readers grew bored of DC and stopped reading, the quicker it would shut down.

never gonna happen, everyday there are new DC fans thanks to movies, games, tv, etc.

Empty Hand is (You) user. No one inside the comics can stop you. You could do that right the fuck now and the DC universe in your head will disappear, as long as you drop it and don't look back.

Empty hand has no will of his own, he’s just the embodiment of how -inevitably- people will eventually stop reading comics because of this reason or that. He’s already implied to have destroyed the 7th Marvel multiverse (a sneaky way of saying Marvel isn’t going to last that many reboots more) but the only time he will really win is when people stop reading Marvel/DC full stop.

How do I stop being it?

I wonder when will Marvel make him canon at their universe, I mean DC Overmonitor was originally clearly supposed to be Marvel pre retcon Beyounder, Impossible Man and Mr Mxy were stated to be a single being in the crossover and the One Bellow All is clearly based on the Evil Beast.

>The Great Evil Beast
Who?

You don’t.

But it wasn't actually "evil" and it ended up merging with God.

The IP will go on for the forseeable future via movies, games, TV and so on. But why the fuck does anyone still print comics? At all? Not talking about webcomics but actual comic fucking books? That dead-tree bullshit needs to go the way of newspapers.

But what was he? The shadow of God?

It was the prescence’s equal, but an “evil” version of him. At the end of it’s Swamp Thing arc in American Gothic it fused with the Prescence to create the post COIE Prescence as a way of explaining why comics suddenly became so much darker overall.

So they became Manhattan?

Moore said it was a shot at American maniqueism

How did the empty hand role change with the emergence of cinematic universes?

They also have to yield a rent to exist and their permanence requires that enough people watch them. Its basically the same principle

>American maniqueism
Again, what?

yes. But the comic book now doesn't only depend on the interest of the reader but also on the reflexes of the movies. PErhaps we need a new metaphor.

>If the Empty Hand decreed that it is time for the DCU to end, because it grew bored of it and found another universe for entertainment, could anyone or anything really stop it?

No, the empty hand is the reader and it has the final say on that. But as long as the universe keeps being entertaining and bringing in cash it won't end

how does the empty hand feel about crossovers or spinoffs or when certain characters become public domain?

it literally cant win

also what the fuck does meta powers give besides absurd fanwank

He will win in the long really long term.

so when humans become extinct?

The thing about the empty hand that sets it apart from other "end of all things" metavillains like Mandrakk or the decreator is that is simultaneously embodies the end of all stories and the never ending story. The hand is empty after everything ends, but it also can choose to come back and revive the story or keep it going indefinetly until it loses meaning (the anti death equation the gentry used on Nix Uotan and the constant death and rebirth of the lil league also display this nature). I don't think it is capable of feeling or wanting In a way, merely by existing it has already won. The hypercrisis is about the survival of ideas and stories against oblivion, growing and adapting to avoid being forgotten but at the same time avoiding to fall into repetition, nihilism and degradation by finding purpose even in the face of the horror of oblivion. There's more to it and I could delve more into it, of course, but I think that alone is a positive, poignant message that's certainly more significant than absurd fanwank

Iunno, i want him to reappear.

But i dislike meta power unless done well like gwenpool occasionally

I'm guessing he means the simplistic idea that God is all good but there's an equal in evil in the form of the Devil.

Something tells me Moore is a big fan of Beaudelaire.

Meant to reply

Comics only exist to serve as backdoor scripts for boomers executives to make into movies, so the more boomer appeal, the better.

>everyday there are new DC fans thanks to Marvel
Ftfy

Just read other comics that don't rely on the cheap suffering of 80 year old intellectual properties.
Really how the fuck can you faggots ignore this very obvious message and keep discussing power levels on and on and on. These types of discussions only serve to further the cause of the Empty Hand.

Are you delusional? Not even in comics this is the case anymore.

The superheroes die but in the end the seeds of new multiverses are saved.
(The readers stop reading DC and DC goes out of business but then people start reading other comic books.)

Here's how
