I do wish comics had more unique abilities like you see in manga, but I guess comics are way too inconsistent for that. Only X-Men I feel like do it some at times.
I don't expect most writers in modern day cape comics to have the level of cleverness to pull that off. The more complicated an ability, the more likely your inevitable replacement will frick it up and confuse people to bits for years to come.

The next writer on the book would change or mess up the powers anyway. With Manga you only have 1 writer.
This fundamentally wouldn't work because those unique manga abilities are invented for a specific story and are either useless or ridiculously OP outside the context of that specific story. Meanwhile comic powers need to work in any story in any medium and across decades and reboots, even something as tame as Kamala's stretchy powers had to be reworked for the TV show and movie.
This is the reason why the protagonists in manga/anime usually have the most standard boring powers as well, because they work well across a myriad of stories.
>Meanwhile comic powers need to work in any story in any medium and across decades and reboots
No they don't. The companies just choose to keep this shit going forever. And they keep adding or very rarely removing powers constantly. Doing the same thing over & over with no point kills stories & interest.
>even something as tame as Kamala's stretchy powers had to be reworked for the TV show and movie.
Again that's something they made as a choice on their own & not because it would be impractical to have stretchy shapeshifting powers. It was a laziness on their part to not wanna even try to make it happen so they her a Green Lantern knockoff.

That's the format, when you say you want western comics to have those powers, that is what you're implying, because western comics outside the endlessly rehashing big two don't sell and the big two isn't changing their ways any time soon

Each medium comes with its own limitations, even if it was a purely budgetary issue, you still can't afford to make characters whose powers will be difficult to adapt across media, again because that's the format, anime and manga make a lot of money through merch and figurine sales, so they obviously design their characters to work well as figurines
I think it is more that most of the popular comic characters are 75 years old and were created in an era where someone being super strong or flying was considered interesting. So the top is stuck with these old IPs that don't have much to them. In the 80s and 90s you had more of an influx of weird and unusual characters with powers and abilities, but sometime in the 00s that kind of died out and we are left with a lot of the same stuff with little innovation.

Most recent issue of F4 actually gave Reed and Ben vision based photonic beam lasers using Johnny's flame and Sue's forcefields so they could vaporize asteroids by looking at them.
unique abilities for interesting fights require a power system like hxh’s nen or jojo’s stands. something that gives clear strengths and weakness for each ability.
but usually that doesn’t last long in popular battle mangas because the powers get so out of whack, weaknesses dont matter anymore.
so comics already have it
Comics tend to get stale and unimaginative with their powers. Just think of how many character there are that basically just have some variation of superstrength and durability (with some optional mobility bonus powers like flight or speed), while characters with more original and less straight-forward powersets are often relegated to the sidelines or even portrayed as jokes. But with manga, especially the type of combat-focused powerwank that's at least somewhat comparable to capeshit, the problem is more often that the writers continuously try to outdo themselves when it comes to powers and just keep stacking them on to the point of self-parody. The typical battle shonen has a protagonist who continuously develops new powers which rarely adds anything of value beyond giving powerlevelsexuals a longer-lasting hardon. Think of Goku, Ichigo, Luffy, etc pulling new powerlevels out of their ass with every major story arc. Where the problem of many cape comics is that of being stale and stagnant, the problem of many battle manga is desperately needing to raise the stakes with every story beat at the cost of internal consistency.
See can I just get the references without them having to turn to the camera and go >HOW DO YOU DO FELLOW KIDS I TOO ENJOY THE JAPANIMATION SEE I KNOW ALL ABOUT FLAME FIST AND BUZZSAW BOY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THE REFERENCE HERE LET ME SCREAM THE NAME OF THE THING AT YOU
It's still just a desperate plea for attention imo.
I don't get the punchline anymore. How can people like characters like Deadpool and Rick Sanchez that are just reference after reference said in a joking/cynical tone. It's not funny it's just...reference, laugh.
You weren't around in the 90s.
Dbz and pokemon were just cartoons to most kids like SpongeBob or tmnt were cartoons at the time. It wasn't until the internet that I learned what anime is
What is this? A dream sequence. Because I can think of few other reasons why there would be a bat with a gun for a head in Batman. Would be a fitting nightmare.
What does that have to do with chainsawman
Dude who can summon a fox demon does that same hand symbol
Doesn’t matter it’s popular. More popular than Marvel comics.
Read these posts, dumbass
You don't read comics.
That's how the characters summon the Fox Devil
KON
cringe marvel slop
I do wish comics had more unique abilities like you see in manga, but I guess comics are way too inconsistent for that. Only X-Men I feel like do it some at times.
Or at least unique powersets, half of their universe is just superstrenght, superspeed, healing factor or all those combined.
Manga abilities get convoluted really quick

Again that's the problem of the format leading to that idea that characters can't have unique powers.
Character design is not the same as character powersets. You're talking about completely different things.

Read spawn he has so many powers aaaa
Summoning a genie with super strenght that can stop time for 10 seconds can be used in countless stories.
Stand users would murder non stand users.
There is no real counter other than another stand ability
Comic powers are fairly creative though
Most recent issue of F4 actually gave Reed and Ben vision based photonic beam lasers using Johnny's flame and Sue's forcefields so they could vaporize asteroids by looking at them.
OH MY RUBBER MANGA

I think manga has kind of the opposite problem.
Comics tend to get stale and unimaginative with their powers. Just think of how many character there are that basically just have some variation of superstrength and durability (with some optional mobility bonus powers like flight or speed), while characters with more original and less straight-forward powersets are often relegated to the sidelines or even portrayed as jokes.

Wow Marvel is really trying to Ape over a manga that sells more than all Marvel Comics combined.
Deadpool making a funny reference to anything is marvel going apeshit now?
Btw I do Haye chainsaw man. The mc is a cuck.
>The mc is a cuck.
just like Deadpool
Deadpool used to be cool at least. Denji starts the series being a beta male.
>funny reference
It's not delivered in a very funny or comical way.
sexy doggy
Christ we're back to Waypool tier bullshit still better than Wong's Deadpool
Cute reference in line with Deadpool.
Deadpool is a weeb if the Katanas didn't spell it out.
See can I just get the references without them having to turn to the camera and go
>HOW DO YOU DO FELLOW KIDS I TOO ENJOY THE JAPANIMATION SEE I KNOW ALL ABOUT FLAME FIST AND BUZZSAW BOY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THE REFERENCE HERE LET ME SCREAM THE NAME OF THE THING AT YOU
People saying comics don't have a variety of powers
Read spawn
Go away, Todd.
If this is real it's so fricking petty lmao. wah wah manga is more popular with kids now
americ**t execs were pissy when 00s kids chose pokemon and dbz over another fart slapstick cartoon
I really think this is just a homage anon.
I don't read western comics but I think it's pretty cute.
Part 2 is looking really promising btw.
It's still just a desperate plea for attention imo.

It's not petty. I'm sure the people who made it love CSM. That said It's just way too on the nose and dry.
Cool. CSM the character design would fit really nicely in American comics.
Eh
this reminds me of that one DC event where for an opponent for batman to fight they literally just took the gun devil's head and put it on a bat
Please post it, give me something to laugh at.
lol
I'm not saying this isn't stupid, but CSM didn't exactly invent characters with a gun for a head so this isn't necessarily a CSM reference.
We all know the original anyways
What is this? A dream sequence. Because I can think of few other reasons why there would be a bat with a gun for a head in Batman. Would be a fitting nightmare.
reminds me of how snyder's justice league arc with perpetua and apex lex is basically just naruto
another deadpool comic that I won't buy
horay
>All Ziglar can do is reference anime, shill Miles Morales, and write bad dialog
Woo
