Might be that we're both caught arguing causes that are not really our own here. Mine certainly isn't to say Joss should copy Moore, but I do violently object to the "best of all possible comics idea", of which in turn you are actually no defender.

I think comparison to Promethea is usefull in arguments where people say, S8 is as good as comics get, because no it just isn't, there are a ton of counterexamples. And in thatI feel confident,because no finish in the world can make up for those 35 issues that came before.

I'm not willing to let the chance go completely that the finish will breath in some life and meaning into the story, but I'm not willing to make up excuses for it either.
