Talk:New Gods

message: This may be nitpicking, but is it correct to call the planet New Genesis a utopia? That may apply to what is properly called (I believe) "Supertown", but the planet itself is (or was, depending) inhabited only by the Bugs and the New God Lonar, and I wouldn't call what the Bugs had a "utopian society." 24.163.208.79 13:29, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The whole section about the Star Wars/New Gods connection is nothing but speculation and fanwank.  It shouldn't be on this page without proper citation.  It's newsboard fantasy on par with Doctor Who fans finding connections to anything popular (exampe: When Mars Attacks premiered, a plethora of Who fans claimed that whoever wrote Mars Attacks HAD to watch Doctor Who because the martians were exterminating everyone and Rod Steiger's character shouted out "Annihilate! Kill! Kill!" which obviously referenced the Daleks).  Pure fantasy and it should be removed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.171.48.97 (talk) 21:47, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: "The Source" seems to be a blatant reference to "The Force". Has the creator ever mentioned any connection? 68.166.172.80 (talk) 01:55, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: George Lucas has denied any connection, however the similarities are not "speculation". The similarities are several, and obvious; they should be included in the main article. Because they are obvious to anyone holding the two side by side, no citation is needed. --Bainst (talk) 06:48, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless you can provide sources for the similarities other than "Look at the comics and the films.", it's original research at best. The same for the claim that Lucas stating "Not an inspiration." - J Greb (talk) 12:12, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge 

message: While much has been said about "Hunger Dogs" its importance, and controversy, I think it needs to be included with a mention in Volume Two (1984). The 1984 reprints were a promotional vehicle for the "Hunger Dogs" graphic novel which followed shortly after the last issue's conclusion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Donssword (talk • contribs) 21:38, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Newgodsvol1-7.jpg

message: I'm not sure if there are any additional resources out there to further validate the 5th world incarnations of the New Gods.  It appears the "Super Young Team" would embody the Forever People, Lightray emodies the Ray, and the Tattooed Man as Metron, and materials to furth substantiate would help to provide New God direction, moving through Final Crisis. -66.109.248.114 (talk) 21:59, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
