Why haven't you abandoned capeshit?
Do you enjoy being jerked around? Is it merely your opiate of choice, something to burn time on until the big sleep comes?
Especially the recent stuff, oof.
Why haven't you abandoned capeshit? Do you enjoy being jerked around?
What the hell is this garbage?
>Why haven't you abandoned capeshit?
Because I'm nowhere near reading all the superhero comics that I wanted to read, I don't NEED to read the adventures of the non binary spider person if I don't want to, and I don't have to support the absolute clown circus that is the modern comic industry, also I can't take anyone who unironically uses the term "capeshit" seriously.
An homage to an obscure Silver age character added to an episode of Justice league Unlimited for sheer "what the frick" factor.
How are his forearms this huge.
>if you do break into the industry, you have to dealt with editors telling you what you can and can't do with this or that character.
If anything, the editors need to do more of that, like telling Spencer you can't turn Captain America into a Hydra agent, for example.
>The same cannot be said about superheroes.
Then why are you disappointed with the current state of comics? If there are NO good superhero comics at all and the industry just sucks than that's just the way things are.
>Capeshit is dead
Pic unrelated?
makeup prosthetics/foam latex.
practical effects were the way to go before cgi really started cooking toward the mid 2000s
They should have gone with the animatronic mask for Raimi's spider-man.
>If anything, the editors need to do more of that
That's the kind of stuff that's done out of desperation from stuck in the same mudpit that's been more or less stagnant for decades. Though I think Spencer is a shit writer, he was probably trying to make a few waves because it's so fricking boring and suffocating writing Captain fricking America in the 21st century. It was probably a dream job at some point too. Though editors are probably stuck with a bunch of less-than-adequate writers they have to wrangle. With the whole shared universe thing, it's a giant shit soup.
>Then why are you disappointed with the current state of comics?
See
>There had always been gems upholding the whole genre. Not anymore.
Even if what you said was the case, my question still stands. What is anybody still reading this shit that's never once been good?
Because you're a drama queen
grew up with it.
like my parents grew up with westerns and war movies..its just part of who I am
I'll always love superheroes
like they said
Superheroes always been a mixed bag, that's life.
Are you liking what they're doing to your favorite characters?
Westerns and war movies have a lot of good and great entries. The same cannot be said about superheroes.
Reading too much bad writing is detrimental. Also, it's better to learn good writing. Read books instead. All the best capeshit writers read a lot of prose books.
Besides, if you do break into the industry, you have to dealt with editors telling you what you can and can't do with this or that character.
Even the terribly written shit?
There's always been bad capeshit, like the good dismissed the bad.
checked out after endgame like alot of people did.
dc is *trying* bless their hearts..
as for my*personal favorite characters* no one's really covered those just yet.
Guy Gardner's among them so we'll see how Nathan Fillion does.
Did you read Human Target by Tom King?
Comic books being synonymous with capeshit is a symptom of people hanging on too long.
comics were a pursued interest as a kid.
capeshit movies didnt really start kicking off until into the late 90s. lord knows I didnt foresee it turning into ..*what it is now*
in all honesty , I havent been to the cinema for one of these since venom 1
I only watched Winter Soldier in the theater out of all the MCU/DCEU/Sony shit.
I just don't enjoy cape movies, though I watch a lot of regular older movies.
because I want to write good capeshit and do better than the people that are officially making it
i feel like you man, would be great.
This guy
has both good and bad points. You should read good and bad books to perfect your own work, but don’t just think that novels are better than comics because they don’t have pictures, there’s plenty of terrible prose literature out there too. One example is Eye of Argon, the novel equivalent to Plan 9 from Outer Space.
>calling it capeshit
obvious troll thread
That's what it is. Capekino has practically been killed off.
There had always been gems upholding the whole genre. Not anymore.
Comic books have always only been the Spider-Man decal and the X-Men cup from Pizza Hut 1997 to me, and that’s all they ever will be
Capeshit is dead
Looks awesome.
Capeshit is strong and alive
This is just more creative bankruptcy.
More like creative awesomupcy
Are you okay?
So they’ve gone full Dragonball GT?
You dumb piece of shit. The fusion sequence is from the Majin Buu arc of Z and the Janemba movie. Why would you remind everyone about GT right now?
Annoying twat.
oh it's the autist from last time.
Imagine coming here every week to tell people to stop reading comics, the irony
fricking moron lol
Most here have. At least they have abandoned modern capeshit and prefer the classics. Most DC Comics storytimes are dead silent.
We should do more classic storytimes.
I only read an occasionally comic from Garth Ennis nowadays. Aside from that, I haven't bothered with capeshit in over a decade now.
He's called supermong for a reason
I swear sports ball fans are at least ten times as obnoxious as comic book fans or weebs.
>people
>consuming comics
Hahahaha
Because there's a lot more of them.
>You must consoom everything
>Don't pick the diamonds out of the shit
This goes for literally every genera, just enjoy the good stuff and ignore everything else. Build your own head canon.
Pretty much
What diamonds?
the hanna barbera cartoons are pure netherite
You mean like Mark Russell's Flintstones? It's shit.
My favorite characters are B/C-Listers that occasionally get something new, it's usually decent because only writers that are already interested in them go out of their way to write them. Otherswise I don't bother with modern books and stick to classics.
They get writers like Tom King.
Because I like the characters and making up my own stories just doesn't seem to feel as "real" as the official stories.
Basically these comics are living off the goodwill that has been built up for these characters. They know that we'll keep coming back because we somehow feel like Spider-Man is a real person and we have to see what happens to him, no matter how stupid it is (but unlike a real person, we have the privilege of dismissing any story we don't like as "not in character" and waiting for a good one).
>we somehow feel like Spider-Man is a real person
So you're mentally ill.
>So you're mentally ill.
That goes without saying, but why do any of us read about or watch imaginary people and feel sad when bad shit happens to them? We feel like they could be real, or at least that they remind us of real people.
The evil genius of never-ending comics is that they can suck us in with a good run and then keep us coming back even after we've almost forgotten why we identified with these characters in the first place.
>The evil genius of never-ending comics is that they can suck us in with a good run and then keep us coming back even after we've almost forgotten why we identified with these characters in the first place.
No, you're just fricking dumb.
>Why haven't you abandoned capeshit?
I mostly have, at least the comics.
>Do you enjoy being jerked around?
Getting tired of it.
>Is it merely your opiate of choice, something to burn time on until the big sleep comes?
The MCU, yes. I’ve mostly had it with the Big Two and their never-ending churning of rehashed shit.
Because I'm stupid.
I like the cool people in colorful costumes fighting supervillains.
>b-b-b-but muh realism
don't care
>b-b-b-but muh higher literature
don't care
>b-b-b-but muh non cape comics
i read plenty of non cape comics frick off
>b-b-b-but you're manchild
and you are a gigantic homosexual
Who are you quoting?
You're a homosexual either way for liking folks in flamboyant dress get physical with each other.
>3 more since that post.

>youre a homo
is watching action movies homosexual too, homosexual?
are you moronic?
honestly it seems like you're the one projecting your (presumably repressed) homosexuality onto my hobbies
>is watching action movies homosexual too
It is when you do it, queer.
I'm actually losing hope in Cinemaphile media, I'll read G.O.D.S. and that's it as far as I'm concerned. Not looking forward to anything else at the moment.
It looks like the same shit.
>Why haven't you abandoned capeshit?
More like the opposite,in the last decade all the capeshit comics I've bought are series older than me.
I'm not wasting my money on recent crap.
We remain in the game on the vain hope that something has to be good at some point.
I did
They don't sell Legends of Percevan where I live
