I love going through these old videos because I find out stuff I might have missed out on such as you being a Star Wars fan that doesn't like the direction that it has gone and that you have walked away from it. Mad respect for you
Here's a question for you Chuck: Do you think the deconstructionist writing style has taken more away from superheroes than it has given, or has it been a worthwhile journey that has only added to the mystique of them? And why?
Chuck, I have given you kudos on some of your prior "Ask Chuck Dixon's" but this was above and beyond sir. really just top knotch review of comic history that is also a grand commentary on art generally, and comic book art specifically. Thank You Sir.
Thank you for the great videos, Mr. Dixon, both on UA-cam and UnauthorizedTV! I'd love to hear some stories about your time writing Nightwing. It's one of my favorite runs of all time. Also, what led to you leaving the book and eventually returning for Nightwing: Year One?

Some questions of my own: 1. Do you think modern mainstream comics have become too visually violent? 2. Why aren't mainstream comics being marketed according to story merit? I see that as one of the reasons why some "minor" characters in DC like Infinity Inc's cast members, and even Jesse Quick, are unlikely to fare well in a solo book, if such story pitches were ever to be made at all. 3. Do you think it'd be doing a lot of good if the Big Two were to cease and retire company wide crossovers? 4. If modern writers really care so much about diversity in mainstream, how come we never see stories spotlighting cast members and guest characters of Armenian, Cameroonian, Burmese, Ukrainian, Finnish, Columbian, French, Portuguese and Bulgarian descent? Why is it almost always just POC and LGBT in focus? 5. Do you forsee the Big Two one day being bought by smaller book businesses that aren't conglomerates?
I have an #AskChuckDixon question. Does anyone ever call you Duck Chickson as a gag? Because if we were friends, you bet your backside that I would be doing just that. 🤣🤣🤣
@@Dixonverse Your years of writing have served you well, the feeling of exasperation landed as intended. And, I now your pain. My last name used to get the same stupid joke from people all the time when I was in school. lol
I have a question I just finished your run on nightwing and it was amazing. But it felt like you never got a true ending do you think you will ever return to writing nightwing especially now since they changed his character drastically.
Superman was done properly during the Rebirth years when Jurgens, Tomasi, Gleason, etc handled him. Family-man Superman was excellent and a logical progression of the character.

Hi there, Chuck! I have a promotional Airboy poster that says 'Our Heroes Aren't Dead'. Do you remember what that is in reference to?

Boeticher/ scott . Mann/stewart. Ford/wayne. Leone/eastwood. Opinions? favorite?
You are so right on appreciating Toth.
How would you have written Marvel films differently than the screen versions?
What stories do you have of Mr. Swanson (Bane from Batman & Robin)?

NO! That's the FIRST time ANYone has ever thought of that!
Did the sarcasm come across there?

WHAT VIEW OF BILL FINGER AND LEN 3 JACK KIRBY WESTERN STORY LINE
Not sure of what you're asking here.

Nowadays there too are screenwriters that have "precious" dialoige. Those wordy comic writers of old should have lived to see Sorkin...
