Are you excited for the Rippaverse?

I don't think he hates it, but for some moronic reason he thinks he can dethrone it

lol, half of the big 3 just copypaste each others characters already

>characters look like cheap copypastas of the big 3
first off since when is it big 3? what's the third, image?
Either way, Isom's bland design looks like a C-D lister like Bronze Tiger or something like that. The kind of character that would end up in a run of Suicide Squad.
Yaira is a little better but is ultimately just another Wonder Woman redesign stolen from twitter.
There's no symbols that you can slap on merch and that's no good.

main character looks like nu-mr terrific lmao

Oh, I hadn't even considered a magical powerset. I was thinking something more along the lines of Killgrave. That could be a cool way to play it too though, maybe even a darker more tainted Constantine type..

Ancaps define the state as organized aggression against private property and left "anarchists" define it as organized defense of private property. Anarcho-capitalism is an unwavering defense of private property and left "anarchism" is the attempted abolition of it. We have polar opposite goals and are each others worst enemies. The only agreement is that the status quo is irredeemable, but everything they think is bad about the status quo is good and everything they think is good about it is what's bad.

Look, all you need to know is that Rippa is an anti-corporate saviour who's going to destroy Marvel and DC by begging for money, putting videos up on Youtube, a company owned by one of the biggest corporations on earth, streaming on Twitch, a company owned by one of the other biggest corporations on earth and if that makes no sense to you then OH WELL I BET YOU'RE AN IPHONE USING COMMIE MOTHERFRICKER

Coherent, or even cohesive arguments are not to be found here at all.

>Now show me that redditors other posts.
Find them yourself, I'm not digging through some guy's messages for you. I don't give a shit where that redditor posts, the moderators still made an accusation that Eric July is part of a hate group and has banned discussion of him and his comic. If you check reveddit you'll see they've even gone as far as to add rippaverse to auto removal and ban bots.

Becase we want to see them seethe.

You're all still really trying this hard, huh? We've heard these lines before, multiple times. It's old and we're over it
>You're not being censored, people just don't want to listen to bigots.
Such a disingenuous gay.

Yaira booba

not him, but it sounds like a western/mystery, not just caped cuckolds punching each other

That's what we know about the setting, so no, it's not a stretch.

Capeshit doesn't mean "super powers", it means bottom of the barrel flying bricks at each other powerwankery that DC and Marvel rely on when they're not preaching about trans rights.

What cope?
Do you also call supernatural murder mysteries "capeshit"?
It might very well turn out to be capeshit, but you clealry don't know what that word means.

>Do you also call supernatural murder mysteries "capeshit"?
Do they involve people with powers wearing spandex?

Yaira and the fella in the bottom right. He wasn't in the trailer but I have a feeling he's going to have a bigger role to play.

Anon it's like a greek tragedy. You find your destiny on the road avoiding it. By trying with all his might to NOT do what Marvel does rather than just telling a good story the pendulum swings in the other direction.
Your faith is fine, but it's not particularly well warranted given that this is the kind of comic the youtube outrage sect claims is apolitical.
Join team manga. We've got the actual escapism on lock.

>I'm literally reading a e-girl smut comedy manga right now and even I cringed at this a little.
Name?

haha nice word salad you fricking moron. Do you write for Marvel?

You weaselly implications are just wrong. It's like saying rebellions or revolutions have never worked.

Maybe. There's not much to go off of at this point so who knows if he's a good writer. I see the success of this first book as everyone giving him the benefit of the doubt for the first shot. It'll be more interesting to see how the next couple books pan out.

Yes, I'm going to defend a comic existing, and all the coping and seething in the world won't change that.

congrats on seething so hard you developed schizophrenia

cringe

>astroturfer calling someone else cringe

No, seriously, you need to have a nice day, you're an embarrassment to humanity.

Just get a room already, you two.

yeah, that's seething

His body of work and need to retain an audience is a much stronger counterpoint.

>So is the implication here that you can't attract an audience with apolitical works
He hasn't done that though.
He's built a brand on youtube videos about how leftist politics are killing an industry. Why are you pretending that's apolitical?
> or that Americans in particular can't attract an audience without relying on their politics because what they make sucks?
There are thousands of indie comic start ups out there and tens of thousands of indie titles. Are you going to claim it's a coincidence that the one that says "frick the sjws" gets a fast pass to the top? And I'll remind you if your next response is "July saw an need and filled it", that's my point.
Anti SJW is not the opposite of SJW. It's still political.

yes, king! so much this!
the face that he is black and his character is black has NOTHING to do with it and if you say otherwise you are LITERALLY a racist

I think it's less "american NEED politics" and more like "one look at his social media feed and you'll see the kind of folks interested on the product are being kinda transparent about what they want" and it's less apolotical comics and more "what the other guys have, but ours"

I'm a leftist
But having a comic verse written from the perspective of an outsider without a corporate agenda sounds really appealing. And outside the usual axe to grind against muh wokeshit, he doesn't really give off any dog whistles or indicators he wants some rightypol comic verse.

Seems like the type of person expecting that to 'own the libs' won't read this or but it actually, or get pissed off in a few months when it's not Goebbels tier tracts.

>I'll tell you he's really invested in comics and worked on this as a passion project precisely because he was tired of comics being political.
No, he was tired of comics having politics different from his own, not that they were being soapboxy. Those are not the same thing.

To use a metaphor, it's like your own body odor. You may not be able to smell it because it's always around you. You go nose blind. Leftist writers don't literally go out and think "I'm gonna go be obnoxiously leftist today. They're just doing what they want and not realizing when it's overly preachy. I'm not saying July would intentionally write political nonsense (although there are plenty of these comics that do), but I think that for him to actually avoid it, someone would have to constantly check him on doing libertarian the comic. And given that his audience transparently *wants* to rub dirt in leftist eyes, there's no reason for them to do that.

>Are you going to claim it's a coincidence that the one that says "frick the sjws" gets a fast pass to the top?
I'm going to claim that this got a fast pass for the same reason FGTEEV's comic is constantly a top-seller in the US; because it's attached to an established Youtuber with an existing fanbase.

>because it's attached to an established Youtuber with an existing fanbase.
Ah yes they're fans of his reactions to squid game and crash bandicoot 4 let's plays?

>Do you really think this comic would have been anywhere near as pre-ordered if he was just some random dude talking about launching his own comic on his own website?
A random dude? No. That's my point.
Random indies don't get millions of dollars.
Political ones do.

I see your point. To an extent, injecting your values into something is unavoidable. I just hope he can keep it in check and not have the character monologue about how every gun law is an infringement on the 2nd amendment.

But I disagree about leftists, especially in comics and movies right now. There are activists in the space that are pretty open about the fact that they're being preachy. The really bad ones are in a cult that basically requires them to preach the word and disown people who aren't on their side. I've seen it happen both personally and in entertainment.

I think this is a different attitude of wanting to get back to people who can agree to disagree and not push a narrative. I think a certain amount of osmosis from your personality has to come into play when writing, but people can avoid being overtly political, I think.

Yeah if you want to be dinsingeously hyperbolic maybe. But not everyone that creates a black legacy character is doing so because they love marx.

It's not just white liberals. This will always be the board that got McDuffie fired. You may want to erase that part of our history but I'm never going to forget it.
Mostly because we should've done that to Hudlin instead.

>BY ODIN'S FADE
>ALSO HIS TIMBS

>black-face
except that would actually be funny, unironically

Yeah it's hard to believe nobody caught it and said, "now hold up a second", and it's not like only one set of eyes was on it. This was greenlit by editors and everything, it passed through several hands and they ALL said, "yup! this is great, it's ready for release!"

This. Nobody is saying that an artist should be without a point of view on life and society, or that his point of view does not inevitably guide his selection of materials, characters, etc., or that any book, profoundly written, will be without political implications. But there is a difference between possessing a philosophic point of view, which permeates one's work, and having a tactical axe to grind which usually requires the artificial manipulation of character and usually results in shallow writing. The pitfall of the socially conscious writer who uses his art in a shallow manner is that his goal all too often subtly demands the annihilation of certain characters, the gilding of others. It is very, very difficult for him not to handle characters in black and white since his objective is to prove a proposition, not to reveal men in motion as they are.

The big problem with people like Eric is that they claim that’s the case based on very few books that they then over generalize unto the entire medium. Iron Man isn’t written the same in Avengers as he is written in, say, Squirrel Girl. One writer will have Tony be one way, another writer will have him be a different way. Having seen just a few of his videos, it’s the same shit as EVS, Zack and all the other lame ass anti-SJWs who’s entire gimmick is “Marvel/DC bad because not muh politics, me make good comics that totally aren’t political at all…”, like as if the entire point of making a comic franchise as a big “frick you” to Marvel or DC just because of wrong think isn’t already a massive political statement. It’s hypocritical. Also, a comic book making a million dollars off of crowdfunding from right wing chuds ain’t all that impressive anymore. We get it: a few thousand mfs have more money than common sense and wanna invest in shit for them. Who cares? My issue is claiming they wanna make their stuff apolitical and then they and their fanboys get mad when people call them out in their bullshit. Like, just admit that what you’re doing is political, because no one except a complete moron can’t see that.

Oh look, it’s one of those morons I was talking about.

lol, it's 2012+10. Being apolitical is political now

It's the only thing that matters, as changing anything else doesn't fix the problem.

Then you're claiming to be able to read minds, which is inherently stupid, and you shouls feel bad.

Yeah if you want to be dinsingeously hyperbolic maybe. But not everyone that creates a black legacy character is doing so because they love marx.

Nobody in good faith looks at an established superhero and goes "this would be a lot better if the character liked sucking gay dicks.", and that is not hyperbolic in the slightest.

Woke comics just suck, and even you know this.
That says nothing about any other kind of comic.
You just fricking suck.

That would have hurt my feelings if it weren't coming from a cross dressing pervert.

Is Jawbreakers the one where one of the characters is literally a spear chucking black lady?

Death of the author requires the author to be dead.

>no no no no no no no no this based black man cape shit is going to rival the greatest literature of the 20th century
>la la la la la la i can't hear you!!!

cope homosexual and no i wont read your comic looks generic as frick

I never said it did. Its called an example smartass. Rippa isnt that direct, but the point is people are shilling this simply because its saying, in layman's terms, frick the side you dislike. And yes apolitical is still taking a side.

Being against something is still a stance anon.
That's why nobody believes you when you say this'll be apolitical. Because if a book says "trannies should get the rope" you guys will deflect with "that's not political! it's just based!" rather than having the conviction to own your beliefs.

>will because you can't separate the art from the artist.
I will admit that's part of it but a much larger part is historical precedent. We've already done this shit over and over again where anons go >Magalorian isn't political, it's just based!
Once bitten, twice shy and all that.

I've heard of rippa before the comics were a thing an he just seemed to be another "listen to me only mock the SJWs and far left for my audience of right wingers...but I'm just a 'libertarian'" I dont get why they beat around the bush like that

>beat around the bush
what the frick are you even taking about schizo? How about you stop beating around the bush.

I know there were fans bullshitting about the idea, and he did say something to the effect. Though from the context it was in response to the shit flinging he was getting so I mostly took it as a tongue-in-cheek comment. If it's something he's seriously considering then yeah, that's jumping the gun pretty hard.

Anon that's racist. You're not allowed.

He's had sculptors already message him on Twitter from what I've seen. Even if it's just done for a limited edition thing that'd be neat.

That'd definitely be doable, it'd be a neat addition to a new campaign. He's got trading cards (baseball style, not yugioh/mtg) for this campaign. Some retro looking figures like that would kinda fit the same "early comics" vibe he's going for.

he would have to work with Chinese toy factories also.

To be fair there aren't many states that are both conservative and have a large enough population to justify generic superhero adventures.

Are you the same guy who keeps using the word “grifter” in every one of these threads? I’ve never seen it used so much on this board before. Are you trying to make it a thing?

I'd take awful to the point of funny over generically boring.

See? The industry says it's Marvel's best new character in years. Obviously it's a masterpiece.

yes
