Given that Peter David passed away earlier this year, I have been reflecting on some of the things he accomplished. One thing that I missed during its time was the Peter David and Todd McFarlane debate in the 90s. It is interesting to examine their stances from that time. Todd made a lot of money, but Peter was praised for his snarky writing.
One thing that stood out was when Todd realized that Peter destroyed him with his own words and attitude. He knew Peter used his “5-dollar” words to nuke him.
The 90s were such a simpler time, with people truly speaking their minds and having options to write and draw where they wanted to. Things are far more divided and mean. This debate from back in the day showed that people disagree and have fun. Remember when people could have discourse and talk about it openly?
