Why do you ask questions you don't wanna hear the answer to? Or rather, why do you ask questions that you already determined which answer you wanna hear, and are begging people to say that answer at you? Is that how your mind works? Using other human beings as a filter of sorts for your brain, because it can't operate on it's own without using others as a prosthetic?
What the hell is wrong with you? I didn't make any judgment. I gave two options and asked you to pick one. I see that despite typing so many words you have not done that. What was the point of typing all that shit while not answering my question?
>make a simple thread to discuss a comic >get an extremely aggressive first reply >rightfully call him out for being a dick >"wooow how dare you get annoyed that somebody is being an butthole to you, must have hit a nerve, suuuuuuuuuper fly"
Considering you're the only person to agree with that first butthole and everyone else is mocking him and actually engaging in discussion, I think it's safe to say I was in the right.
call him out for being a dick
Here's where you fricked up, you whiny little homosexual. Maybe when you're done with puberty you'll be better at taking some bants once in a while.
>No u!
Frick, blew me away. I'm literally ahegaoing over here because you took the thing that I said and redirected it to me.
Go get that set of flashcards your social worker gave you for understanding Human emotions. Find the one that looks the saddest and that's TOTALLY me right now.
Cape comics ruined the comic industry, scholastic is the only publisher that sells anything and it's because they are allowed to publish other shit
Those kids will grow up loving the comics they read and wanting nothing to do with what the other publishers make
>cabbie just trying to make smalltalk >go full redditard on him and go into some spiel about how enlightened you are blah blah
he's lucky the driver didn't throw him out right there.
>What the frick does The Dark Knight have to do with Guantanamo?
This was more of a discussion back in the day with TDK aiming more towards realism and The use of unauthorized surveillance at the end of the movie. One of the issues with Guantanamo was people being detained on flimsy charges and pretenses with the idea that it wasn't worth risking not locking them up. Basically questioning if the ends justify the means. The Patriot Act increasing surveillance on the public under this pretense was also a talking point reflected in the movie.
he's totally justified, not because he's not acting like a c**t, but because he's acting like a c**t. the cab driver's job is to drive, not make small talk, and any deviation from that job deserves punishment, which this hero dutifully delivers by saying homosexual things in an attempt to undermine the cab driver.
obviously the sushi otaku, those other guys were putting on a shamefur display and should commit immediate hakiri to correct for their blatant disregard for nipponese culture
He isnt making a good point. He misses the point while technically being correct. This is much more a thing of satisfaction or ease the pain. Kinda like the good will always win and everything will be ok.
Did i hit a nerve? Are you mad because people have actual things to believe in instead of spending all their days drinking corn syrup and smelling their own farts?
what is true sense of importance?
if he's full on nihilist feel free to bash his head open with a rock since it doesn't matter
if he has some kind of achievement he needs to include, he should feel free to mention it in conversation
iirc he was a loser and the comic was about that
The whole point of the comic this is from is that he's a self-obsessed butthole. If the cabbie had asked him about Citizen Kane or Casablanca, he still would have talked down to him about how movies are just an opp4vnn8iate.
People who watch The Dark Knight don't believe they have super powers. A Batman movie isn't part of a dogma or belief system. There's no sense of importance derived from media, it's escapism.
Some people, like the passenger derive importance and even base identity on the consumptionof media, they project their desires unto others, like the desire to feel better than others probably born from the feeling of being less than in this case. The neckbearded pseudo-intellectual is wrong in his gross generalization.
This reads like it's supposed to be a play on how this guy espouses and exhibits all the same traits as the "inferior" people he's lecturing about.
I-is that the point or does the author think this is clever?
the point of this entire graphic novel is that the passenger, Wilson, is a smug detached pseudointellectual whose life has left him deeply lonely and without meaning in life and yet he is incapable of not acting like a huge butthole even to complete strangers. He eventually goes to prison.
Wow he's just like me. If I ever go bald I'll get fat too and blind myself to wear glasses.
I'm more curious about the taxi driver's statement. What the frick does The Dark Knight have to do with Guantanamo?
TDK was notoriously 9/11 era propaganda for Nolans surprisingly conservative views. Whether you love it or hate it, the whole movie was a philosophical discussion about the patriot act and how justified or not it was.
It's a single page from a book that makes it very clear from the beginning that the main character (the passenger) is a jackass. You're only being shown a single page of the book, out of context, as a form of clickbait because the OP wanted to talk about Wilson but didn't have anything meaningful to contribute.
It doesn't make sense because it's like saying restaurants or for poor and stupid people who can't cook. Food is for more than just sustenance and chefs want to try other cooking too. The guy is a douche who looks for opportunities to elevate himself above others. The logic is consistent with even people here who will assume the most unchartible narrative to analyze someone's motives so they can convince themselves they're better than someone based on media consumption.
[...]
restaurants are for people who don't want to spend time cooking. Either for lazy reasons, or for ambience(like for a date) or for convenience.
It's certainly not for poor, as restaurants are far more expensive than cooking at home.
And it's certainly not for people who can't cook, because any moron can put fries and chickenwings into the oven.
You can be a chef and still want to try someone else's cooking. You can be capable of entertaining yourself and still want to see a movie, even if it really is for kiss, not just to be entertained but to see how people entertain and have fun with that too. To see what they do and how they handle it.
Going to a really good restaurant once in a while is fine
Going out to eat the same shit you could easily make at home is not
I have made all sorts of food from all over the world, I can make something completely different to anything I have ever made or tried using ingredients I don't know and still pull it off at this point
Eating food better than something I can make myself is a humbling experience and I didn't study I just decided to cook 95% of everything I eat 7 years ago and also decided to not just eat the same boring shit for every meal

That's why you guy to a cafe. Overpriced sandwich or cake that's been bought from somewhere else are hard to frick up
85% of restaurants serve awful food and it's not even the fault of the people cooking, having to serve food for an entire restaurant in just one understaffed kitchen required corner cutting there is no way around it
Oh dear god, not this page. I know this page. My dog just died recently, poor little guy had a bad heart at 15. It's not exactly how I feel, and I understand it's from the perspective of a character who doesn't understand his own feelings very well, it still really really fricking hurts. Like holy shit, the moment you start to rationalize your thoughts about the whole thing and the grief starts to overwhelm you as it all sets in. Jesus.
Alright, you checkmated me. The author knows what they're doing. Good job. I'm gonna go cry.
Wilson is such a great character. He's not particularly likeable, but that's kind of the point. He's a great character study though. Myopic and easily angered but shortsighted and introspective at the same time. Like a genius trapped inside an idiot. He's almost close to self actualizing Which is what ties the entire book together if you read the stuff about water that runs through the book it all makes sense but it never overtly explains itself to you.

Alright, you checkmated me. The author knows what they're doing. Good job. I'm gonna go cry.
and now we see the actual context of the page in the OP isn't an author tract. It's the perspective of a lonely, miserable person who feels insignificant and meaningless after losing what was important to him. So he sees these things that bring people joy, hope or purpose and he's so broken inside that he can't find any comfort or joy in them. And he tries to mask his pain with mockery/dismissal.
This is like a bait thread except now instead of getting trolled you get fricking depressed. Good job to the author. But frick you, OP.
That's pretty much the only way to recommend people anything on this site. You bait someone to the point they actually check it out to try to prove you wrong, and then they get captivated.

Nailed it.
A lot of people use this kind of smug, dismissive critique as a special security blanket in its own right. "Lol that's dumb" is often just another way the "dull-witted, the unattractive, the indigent" etc get their sense of importance or specialness. That's not to say that critique is a bad thing, but if it's your stopping point then you're no better.
"Beyond the desert of criticism, we wish to be called again."
I don't think either. I think he's displaying his character and you're supposed to consider your opinion of him and his actions based on whether you agree with his point or not. It doesn't matter if you think marvel movies are good, it matters if you think this is a good way to talk to other people and make your place in the world. The point of the pages in Wilson are designed to make you think. To reflect on your own life by looking at someone else. If you're focused on 'Are capeshit movies poison' you're missing the forest for the trees.

Not to my recollection? He seemed miserable all the way into his old age and then the last page is like "I understand now!" which is not happy or sad but more like neutral.
if you've read the book you know he's just an annoying piece of shit who never learns his lesson and just does more and more awful shit until he ends up in prison.
The passenger believes (correctly or not) that TDK is fo kids. Then he just plows through to a different point that has nothing to do with what the driver said, so that's a dick move and not possibly a good point. Also he heavily implies the driver is one of "the lowest among us" before patronizing him with the Iron Man question.
I don't recognize the comic, but I bet the passenger is the writer's insert.
This is a terribly stupid assumption but it is intriguing how often people's minds immediately go to "The writer had a character say something in the story, this means the writer thinks that thing." I've seen this so many times over the years for many different works, and very few times where it was actually correct.
>This is a terribly stupid assumption but it is intriguing how often people's minds immediately go to "The writer had a character say something in the story, this means the writer thinks that thing."
This right here, Daniel Clowes isn't a hack and Wilson is a great character. There's moments where's he poignant and relatable and funny, but there's plenty of times where he's just a mouthy butthole, going into conversations just to tear people down. Really good writing in that book
Is the guy supposed to be a moron, none of his takes on anything make any sense, yeah I know he's supposed to be a miserable fricker but even Jay Sherman and Rick Sanchez are usually right.
>Jay Sherman >miserable

how do you even go from "batman fight a terrorist" to that speech about not being special and religion, the driver didn't even mention any message like "anyone can be Spider-Man"
God, I'm so happy I lucked into my job with a nonprofit. I was pretty close to turning into this guy. I feel good at the end of the day that I've helped people.
Obviously it would have dismantled why the character and his story can be entertaining or meaningful, but in reality someone would either flip out twice as hard because "he started it" or just flat out brutalized him.
its not for kids, rather teenagers and there is nothing wrong with that. imagine only limiting yourself to an arbitrary age range. if you stop watching cartoons or reading comics because you "grew out of it", youre reading/watching the wrong ones.
I sincerely hope that is meant to be making fun of Amazing Atheist types. Because if you think he's saying a single intelligent thing then you are a neckbeard yourself.
Why do you ask questions you don't wanna hear the answer to? Or rather, why do you ask questions that you already determined which answer you wanna hear, and are begging people to say that answer at you? Is that how your mind works?

How about you go to hell and then suck my wiener
Well, that certainly devolved quickly into you throwing a childish temper tantrum. I guess that says all that needs to be said.
>What the hell is wrong with you?
Wow, OP was suuuuuuper quick to roll over and show his belly. Someone hit a nerve.
>make a simple thread to discuss a comic
>get an extremely aggressive first reply

Considering you're the only person to agree with that first butthole and everyone else is mocking him and actually engaging in discussion, I think it's safe to say I was in the right.
Hes probably sick of seeing every single thread on this site start with a question now, nobody just states their opinion anymore
call him out for being a dick
Here's where you fricked up, you whiny little homosexual. Maybe when you're done with puberty you'll be better at taking some bants once in a while.
You're not very good at it yourself.

Looks like I was right.
Si, lo lamento profundamente. Carezco de dignidad y criterio propio.
La verdad es que me afecta mucho lo que los demás oponen de mi.
Pues lo llevas clarinete, chaval.

It's a discussion board

That was his first mistake.

Why would the driver have the fragile ego of a toddler? Money's money.
>cabbie doesn't have a gang and designated street where he can kick passengers out and have them stripped to the bone
NGMI
You have to be 18+ to post here.
Come back when you know the reality of a sustainable business model and your balls have dropped.
He doesn't make any point at all.
But the movie doesn't make the audience believe that they are superheroes, so I don't get his point.
I'm more curious about the taxi driver's statement. What the frick does The Dark Knight have to do with Guantanamo?
>What the frick does The Dark Knight have to do with Guantanamo?
This was more of a discussion back in the day with TDK aiming more towards realism and The use of unauthorized surveillance at the end of the movie.

What about this, who's in the right in this one?
obviously the sushi otaku, those other guys were putting on a shamefur display and should commit immediate hakiri to correct for their blatant disregard for nipponese culture
Lol Americans truely are obedient slaves, less human than a fricking phone AI from 2010
have a nice day.
i'm australian thoughever
Obsessed.
Stop pretending to be Canadian.
but he isn't devianting from driving, he is still driving the cab. Your own logic is flawed.
He isnt making a good point. He misses the point while technically being correct. This is much more a thing of satisfaction or ease the pain. Kinda like the good will always win and everything will be ok.
>Do you think he's annoying or that he's making a good point?
Both.
If you can't make a point without being a c**t about it, you're just a c**t. Doesn't mean you're wrong, but it does mean you're a c**t.
This pretty much, being right and being a c**t aren't mutually exclusive, but they're not mutually inclusive either.
He does have children, though. He's got a fat goth daughter.
He doesn't know that yet.
>heh, imagine believing in anything other than the science™. i am so enlightened, unlike you lower plebs who have actual beliefs.
Shut the frick up /misc/tard
Did i hit a nerve? Are you mad because people have actual things to believe in instead of spending all their days drinking corn syrup and smelling their own farts?
Didn't bother reading that because I'm sure it was a whole bunch of stupid bullshit.
What beliefs moron. Do you believe in superheroes? Underage tard
>the least thin-skinned christgay larper on Cinemaphile
I think he's a c**t. If people are having fun, then they're having fun. Why should I care?
what is true sense of importance?
if he's full on nihilist feel free to bash his head open with a rock since it doesn't matter
if he has some kind of achievement he needs to include, he should feel free to mention it in conversation
iirc he was a loser and the comic was about that
The comic creator's point to make this guy seem like a dick.
Are you legit agreeing with the character, anon?
nah he's just a contrarian c**t
The whole point of the comic this is from is that he's a self-obsessed butthole. If the cabbie had asked him about Citizen Kane or Casablanca, he still would have talked down to him about how movies are just an opp4vnn8iate.

You should read the comic, Wilson is meant to be an unlikeable butthole but then you get pages like this
Anon you were replying to here.
Oh dear god, not this page. I know this page. My dog just died recently, poor little guy had a bad heart at 15. It's not exactly how I feel, and I understand it's from the perspective of a character who doesn't understand his own feelings very well, it still really really fricking hurts.

Yeah, yeah, I'm not in the mood to smack down another /misc/tard today. Back to your cage.

hes a miserable c**t what a surprise
he has a happy ending though
Not to my recollection? He seemed miserable all the way into his old age and then the last page is like "I understand now!" which is not happy or sad but more like neutral.
what was the comic name again?
Wilson
I think the second you are no longer able to enjoy stories of good vs evil because it isn't "mature", you are no longer a human being.
The stories have to be good, though.
if you've read the book you know he's just an annoying piece of shit who never learns his lesson and just does more and more awful shit until he ends up in prison.
What a snob
The writer, I mean, I know that pudgy twerp in the cab is just his mouthpiece
This is a terribly stupid assumption but it is intriguing how often people's minds immediately go to "The writer had a character say something in the story, this means the writer thinks that thing."
