>PLEASE TELL MY WHAT MY OPINION SHOULD BE Cinemaphile!!!!
Not sure how you misread my post. But I was asking if the quality improves before Claremont takes over, because if my time is better spent elsewhere, I'll spend it better.
>I HAVE VERY IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO. I CAN ONLY READ THE BEST COMIC BOOKS OR I WILL HAVE WAsTED MY TIME
You are fricking based, I'm going to adopt a similar attitude because I'm tired of these homosexuals
>because if my time is better spent elsewhere, I'll spend it better.
And yet here you are, asking people to spoon feed you and call you an imbecile. You're an idiot. Truly. You're so vacuous and empty headed even if you did read something you probably wouldn't even know if it was good or bad and you certainly wouldn't know why. It's important to actually develop exposure. To acquire taste. But you and your entire generation are just media locusts. That's what you are. You want to gorge on what you think is epic and good but you'll forget it all. None of this matters to you.
This may very well be the most autistic post I’ve ever seen on Cinemaphile. Maybe even all of Cinemaphile. You seem like a pretty miserable individual…maybe you should try taking up a hobby of some kind like stamp collecting.
>maybe you should try taking up a hobby of some kind like stamp collecting.
If I did I'd still engage with more than you seem to want to with this one.
What’s with all the schizo posts lately?
Have you seen the state of the board lately?
I honestly don't know why I still come here.
I know Cinemaphile was always horny but I don't remember it ever being as prevalent as it is now.
Incoming generations were raised on the internet.
I think we're pretty fricked.
Man I remember when all it took was a swimsuit panel or pinup to get me going. These days people are so used to having galleries of R34 at their finger tips they've become completely desensitized to everything.
I feel sometimes they're a lot more disingenuous about why they're posting stuff like that.
it's summer soon and school is out soon
get fricked you pretentious homosexual, and have a nice day
Some people REALLY like the Lee/Kirby era, but I don't think any of X-Men is really worth bothering with before Giant Size #1.
Stop being a homosexual.
>I'm about 5 issues in and it's just really run of the mill
Anon, when Claremont takes over you have to get through a lot more than 5 issues before it stops being run of the mill.
No, early X-Men is just not very good.
But also is true lol.
The Roy Thomas/Neal Adams stuff is OK and the Sternako stuff is too but otherwise yeah you're ok jumping to Claremont
I am also going through the X-Men books but I skipped the Lee/Kirby stuff. This looks like it's going to be rough.
>The Roy Thomas/Neal Adams stuff is OK
The art is amazing. The writing is crap. Worth it for the art.
>Sternako
The writing is even worse, and Steranko doesn't go full power.
The Lee/Kirby stuff is genuinely more fun than most of the boring shit before Claremont. I don’t give a frick about x-men vs Frankenstein or Kukulkahn. Most of the Lee-Kirby stuff has characters that remain relevant later on, but all of it is very “monster of the week” shit. Claremont takes a bit to get going, but once it does every chapter has some bullshit that sets up the next, or some small detail that will be key multiple issues later. Those books are genuinely fun reads.
It has its moments with Len Wein but Claremont makes it the soap opera everyone nuts about.
Anon, read issues 12 to 16. First introductions of the Juggernaut and the Sentinals, and easily the best part of the Lee/Kirby run.
It's pretty meh for a while. Some important characters are introduced but it really doesn't take off until Claremont. There's a reason the book fell into reprints for a good 40 or so issues.
It's honestly crazy how much Claremont turned them around
60- early70's marvel is like reading Archie Comics with superpowers
It sucks that they always try to retcon these stories to fit with Claremont's later vision while still keeping the silly tone. It's almost like X-Men 97 did with the animated show.
Skip to Claremont. Nothing in these early issues sticks, and characters are completely revamped once Claremont takes over. You see the first appearance of things like Magneto, the Brotherhood, Sentinels, etc. but they're nothing like what they will become during Claremont's run.
Though there's actually not that many issues to read. Half the run before Claremont is comprised of reprints.
>dissing Steranko
what a pleb you are
Funny how Stan Lee's awful run on X-Men had NOTHING to do with civil rights.
