Talk:Superhero Aisle/@comment-24588058-20200119160200

I'm wondering. . . . I was looking over the previous discussions, but I wonder something. It seems clear that these artifacts were created from their comic heroes/villains. And, based on the knowledge that these sat on the same shelf, there isn't really anything that prevents genres or heroes/villains from being mixed. Furthermore, my original argument: that these were based on the shows instead of the comics, is flawed due to the fact that they were either created BECAUSE of the comics or INSPIRED the comics.

That being said, here's my inquiry. Should this be combined with the Comic Book Vault, or should it be kept separate? Merging it with the Comic Book Vault would, in essense, simply be the staff cleaning and organizing the Warehouse better (I doubt Artie read many comics, so this is definitely a "newer" thing). It fits with the "Created because of the Comics" side.

The argument for keeping it separate would be if we wish to have these artifacts be older than the characters themselves, and were simply uncollected until AFTER they were created and the characters gained prominence (I mean, who WOULDN'T want a Golden Rope that worked like Wonder Woman's?!). Placement-wise, the aisle could be just outside the Comic Book Vault and would then have no issues about storage because of the small quantity of artifacts. AND we could come up with interesting histories for each artifact that go beyond simply saying "inspired by the characters they are based upon". Of course, similar artifacts who were clearly created BECAUSE of a comic or specific version of the character can also exist, and we can expand upon and differentiate these because, let's be honest, the original paper and first electronic tags didn't do the best of jobs letting you know about downsides (*cough cough* Volta's Lab Coat *cough cough*), which we can use to differentiate these artifacts just enough that they inspired the characters, but weren't created because of them.

The floor is now open to debate.
