The ever-confusing Mark Guggenheim

[yendi]

(links ganked from lurkerwithout)

Mark Guggenheim is intent on proving that he doesn't just write lame comic books and treacly lawyer shows that wish they were written by Bryan Fuller. He also gives baffling interviews. Like this one, in which he shouts that A) the entire "One More Day" storyline was actually completely insignificant, as it changed nothing at all in the Marvel Universe, and B) that anyone who complains about it is pro gay marriage. Whether that's meant to be an insult tarnishing the critics as possibly gay, or an insult tarnishing the critics as homophobes who are stupid, I've got no idea. A third possibility is just that it's a really, really bad analogy. Which, in light of his other writing, is probably the correct one.

Here's a flowchart showing Guggenheim's train of logic.

WTF?!?!? In clinical language we call this "ideas of reference"

Err. Did I miss something where Mary Jane became a transvestite or Pete Park is really "Petunia" the cross dressing butch lesbo?

[yendi]

Yeah, he's got issues.

"Here's my attitude, if anyone is upset about the marriage going away, then they must all be pro gay marriage," he continued. Because if you're pro gay marriage, you understand the distinction between a marriage and a civil union -- that a civil union is not equal to a marriage. We downgraded Mary Jane and Peter to a civil union. If that bothers you, then you're pro gay marriage."

Wh-huh?
