True, but I think a non-visual medium allows some other things that can make it have just as much impact. You can play with time and context in a way that's hard to express visually. The layering of different times and memories gives more control, and lets you create something that would be difficult in a visual media where so much is a linear, chronological unfolding. (Not that there aren't movies that accomplish it, but it seems more rare to my experience.) Something like the light switch Sherlock piece or the Merlock fusion piece when he first hears of Sherlock's fate - I think those would be hard to do visually because the transitions and bleed-over is such a key component of the emotional impact.
I guess that's why I'll always enjoy both though. Such different strengths, and I love seeing how the difference in medium changes things. :)
Also, don't forget characters. You're great at that too. ;D
