Are Asian people one of those things like children which are -really- hard for comic book artists to draw?

Andy Kubert has no trouble at all! Because he draws everyone as Asian whether they are or not.

I love Cassandra Cain so goddamn much as a character but every time I look at her original books it's no surprise why she didn't catch on. Say Nothing posted:Ultimates 2 kind of straight up forgot that Wasp was supposed to be asian. I really do want to know who fell asleep at the wheel to let that book come out the way it did. I mean one expects Jeph Loeb to be a horrible excuse for a writer so it's not like they shouldn't have had someone on-hand to sand off the poo poo and make it another cameo parade full of splash pages that casual fans eat up like crazy. I think the whole "Asians are hard to draw thing" are because art tends to abstract human figures down to their base visual elements, and comic artists are justifiably terrified of inviting any comparison to the racist garbage that was around in the 40s by being reductive in the wrong way, especially with the eyes.

Man, even asian artists sometimes can't draw asian-looking asians. You got dudes with blue eyes and blonde hair and dark skin and big noses in mangas and stuff that suddenly gain asian features when converted to CG for video game cutscenes.

Sizone posted:Are Asian people one of those things like children which are -really- hard for comic book artists to draw? It can be tricky, yeah. It's a relatively subtle distinction when you're working in pencil, as opposed to painting or something. Epicanthic folds are easy to exaggerate when you're drawing eyes by hand.

Franklin's been around since the 60's, though he was kept comatose for a while to seal his powers. Sue got pregnant again in the 80's, but since the child was conceived in the Negative Zone, difficulties arose, Reed wasn't able to convince Doctor Octopus to temporarily stop being evil in time, and the baby was stillborn. Then shenanigans happened in the 90's, and a teenage Valeria came from an alternate future where she'd been raised by Sue and Dr. Doom. It turned out Franklin had unconsciously sent her to that alternate universe when she "died." Then he and Val combined their powers to resurrect Galactus so he could get the Ultimate Nullifier from Abraxas, and when it was used, Val reverted back to Sue's womb, the pregnancy started over again, and this time with Doom's help, she was delivered successfully.

(Actually, part of me feels both of those thing happened to Valeria). That was Valeria, and I haven't kept up on how many alt-universe versions of her have been brought back. I will edit my post to explain what is going on behind a spoiler tag. One of the things I've realized rereading (early) 1980s comics is that the entire "Grim and Gritty" thing didn't really come in with The Punisher and Wolverine. In fact, in some ways the 1990s were a lot less "Grim and Gritty", because they stopped focusing on human situations. So that is why I posted this, other than the fact that its just weird to see Spider-Man saying that.

I really like how nothing in the current versions of them reference anything about that, aside from [b]Dr.[b] Doom helping Sue give birth to her.
