>white poverty as far as the eyes can see
What would the villain goal be? Making everyone acknowledge the 2020 election was stolen?
>What would the villain goal be
Putting an end to the proud local tradition of cousin frickin
Defending workers from evil mining companies that try to mow them down with machine guns and drop poison gas bombs on them.
Also stopping industrial disasters that would otherwise be right out of an honest to goodness horror movie.
>Gas leak explosions
>Chemical Runoff Dam failures
>Subterranean Coalmine Fires (this incident inspired the setting of the Silent Hill games)
>Cave ins
>Rail Accidents
I would imagine the villain being some rich jackoff using the poverty and depression as a form of propaganda and blaming it on the big federal government. You know, using it as a scheme to launch themselves into a terrorist group / political power with their own dictator party while scamming the populace and enlisting some into his private army to dominate the area as a warlord with the police either being on the payroll or avoiding trouble.
The superhero could be someone that moved out of the area, but came back to see family and just being dragged into stopping the cult of personality built around the leader / villain who is viewed as a survivor despite being the one polluting their towns/nature/ruining their lives. You could also throw in exploits of laborers and the leader threatening other businesses + people non-aligned in the name of helping the downtrodden forgotten people of the mountains to expand their influence.
If you wanted it to be a team thing, you could also have the main hero / MC go about starting a rebel group. The government isn't involved because it doesn't give a shit about backwater hicks giving him ample time to rise to power as the FBI does other things.
As for the Hero himself. You can make him something like a Hunter specialized in using traps, surveillance, and improvised gadget fighting or wrestling. Other heroes or even villains to assist the main bad guy could be based of Appalachian legends like Mothman or the Flatwoods Monster.
This is just my two cents invented on the spot.
>the hero makes sure everyone knows the 2016 election was stolen
Deliverance ruined the potential to do that for all generations to come.
A hillbilly version of Snowflame that is powered by meth?
His name would be Kyle
West Virginia must suck to live in
Depends on how many sisters you have
There are few things that unite a majority of Americans, a near consensus that West Virginia is a dump is one of them.
John Denver was the last hold out.
I'd take it over any inner city in America.
Or Paris.
Even most conservatives recognize West Virginia as a shit heap. You dont need to jump into full defense mode and whataboutisms every time somebody brings up a shitty state that happens to be red.
I'm talking about race.
ow the edge
it doesn't get edgier than blapipo
West Virginia is just white Mississippi
There's probably some evil coal guy on captain planet
Isn't this guy supposed to be from rural america?
In the movies I think, the comics also ran with the fact his name is Cletus but in the comics he's a New Yorker like everyone else
Funny enough, there's a Pope Cletus.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Anacletus
I guess the Gutheries don't count for you?
I'm betting OP, and a bunch of the people here from the r/ and twitter shutdown don't know. Fricking Cannonball and his kinfolk.
Are there any panels of him with pork products and mountain dew? Either the soda or the hootch.
Hmmm. Throw in Andy, their latin american half brother, who cross dresses exactly one day a week, but never sunday.
Green arrow comes to mind.
Eh, we need more parisians in general.
>Spiderman
>New Hampshire
Butterball was born really close to Appalachia. Does that count?
You could do some kind of wonder twins thing with the Rocky mountains. Rocky is the younger, confident, but rough around the edges brother, and Appalachia is the smoother, shorter, older sister that is constantly trying to frick him
where the frick are the supervillians and superheros from the PNW
How could you forget about the Portland Avengers?
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Portland_Avengers_(Earth-46421)
Why did we have to wait till 2022 to get a Texan superhero?
Is he a hero though?
Because superheroes are written by coastal liberals, for coastal liberals. What the frick do they need with non-coastal superheroes? Rural areas are for fighting and laughing at poor white people.
Superman was invented by two guys from Ohio.
One of those guys was Canadian.
Superman was originally going to protect Cleveland, where they lived.
Yeah, almost a hundred years ago. Where do the people who write Superman today live?
Why would that matter? Stories are set in the big cities because that's where the people are and where things happen. What the frick is Superman going to do in rural Oklahoma? Sure you can have one-off stories set anywhere, but it's not some grand conspiracy that most stories are set in big cities.
And I'm sure it's just a coincidence that it's specifically the big cities that the artists involved live in, right?
Yes? New York is the largest city in the country and a global center of culture and economy. Brooklyn alone has a million more people than the entire state of West Virginia. What is hard for you to understand about this? Stories get set in places where interesting things happen.
>no population centers exist outside of new york city
I believe you are being willfully ignorant.
I believe you're a fricking moron. You're asking why writers who live in NYC set stories there, and it's been explained over and over. You seem genuinely disabled.
He asked about cities in general, why did you jump to New York specifically?
>blatant samegayging
Why are you like this?
>he said, linking to the only two posts I've replied to him with
Now answer the question.
Why are you pretending to be two people?
Why are you pretending no other human being besides you and the other anon exist?
There's no need to embarrass yourself like this. You lost the argument, no need to pretend.
Why are you this intellectually lazy?
Why are you this desperate?
I'm asking a question. Why did you refuse to acknowledge that (You) were the first one to bring up New York City (
) when that anon asked about cities in general (
)?
You're deflecting.
Yes, (You) are. Why?
By the way
Now you're admitting that it is about the writers living in NYC, and not any of the other explanations you gave.
It is very frustrating talking to people like you.
It's rare to encounter someone this dense. Two things are true, and related: BECAUSE NYC is the nation's largest city and a media hub, many artists live there, and they set their stories there BECAUSE NYC is a major city. How are you this moronic?
Sincerely, how do you expect people to have a conversation with you when you change your argument with every post you make?
You have no response so you try to dodge, cute. I accept your concession.
>Him: "big cities" (
)
>(You): "NYC" (
)
>Him: "lolwut?" (
I believe you are being willfully ignorant.)
>(You): [refuses to answer, calls him a moron]
Why are you like this?
Writers live in cities all over the goddamned country. It's just that every time they write some nignog at the top tells them it has to be NYC or LA.
No. You can't use St. Louis. No youre notnallowed to use Denver. It goes back to fricking 1939 wjen Editors tell Siegel and Shuster to stop making refences to Metropolis being in Ohio.
Hey, how come all these New Yorkers and Los Angelers are allowed to write about the city they live in, but Jerry couldn't use (pre-Rustbelt) Cleveland?
Because no one gives a shit about those places, even in the 1930s. Not hard to understand.
No. There's also Los Angeles, the other Coastgay mecca that keeps insisting it's the only Major City that deserves media attention.
I imagine all the superheroes dealing with rural villains and crimes are all Punisher or Rorschach types. Because if you ever go to those real rural places, it's a depressing shithole with everything being murky, good ol boys rule, and you will need a gun/be willing to do dirty things to take care of the crime there.
A methed-up hillbilly Punisher devoted to killing bosses who frick over regular people but are too rich for the regular law to touch would be pretty great.
Once again, Cinemaphile has forgotten about Frantic
I'm surprised there isn't more heroes from other major cities that don't exist on the coast.
New Orleans, Nashville, Austin, etc.
