openCreators Pet argument Print Comic
Hey!
I have seen the 'Creators Pet' trope on many YMMV pages concerning comic characters (Wolverine or Luke Cage for example). Now I wanted to apply it to another page (Captain America in this case) but another troper deleted it, claiming it can only apply to universally hated characters. In that case, pretty much any listing on character pages could be deleted too, since Wolverine (to take the obvious example) is far from universally hated and has a pretty large fandom too. I've always felt like in the comic scene, this is a very strong case of Depending on the Writer, and maybe my write-up wasn't clear enough. I'd like to have permission to put it back up, reformulated.

Hello, I'm a long time lurker here and on a whim after seeing the new deadpool movie i checked out the page and to my horror it has been replaced with unreadable gibberish of a "self demonstration page". Well fine I thought I will work my way to the main page only to have it redirect me every time no matter the link used. This is starting to really grate me that some fans are forcing their jokes on others by replacing things with SD material. But when I tried to find a way to reach the main page I noticed a couple mods and others mentioning that there was no main page ever made. Now of course that last time I looked at the deadpool page was awhile ago sure but it absolutely wasn't after this SD nonsense. And I was right, using the wayback machine to early 2010 there is a well made main page for deadpool with absolutely no self demonstrating. Now I'm wondering why people are trying to insist this page never existed and that the deadpool page was always self demonstrating even to the point mods will say it but the old main page apparently got canned sometime in 2010 in favor of self demonstrating article and seems to have never been changed back. The old page can be found on March 4, 2010 for the main page of deadpool.
I don;t know if it me or if the sight, but the title on Recap.My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic IDW Issue 38 To 39 shows 8 in the URL and 0 on top of the Page
