The only benefit of not animating I can see is it makes the content significantly easier and cheaper to produce, so you get a lot more creators involved making a lot more content and that has real benefits. you mean it's possible...to like some things...more than other things.......

Sorry, not trying to hate on people for liking what they like. I like a sport where grown men give themselves severe brain trauma in exchange for non-guaranteed employment contracts. I like John Mayer singing "Brown Eyed Woman" more than Jerry Garcia. I like a TV show you get probated for liking on this forum.

Byolante posted:Some people like their pulp escapism in the format comics provide. Things like Maus and city of glass exist which help prove it's not inherently an artistically bereft medium. you are right, the problem isn't with the inanimate medium, it's with the manchildren who keep obsessing about the garbage produced in it and pretending it should be part of public discourse, and it's not limited to this one particular medium - people who watch all the michael bay movies or all the superhero movies and talk about them constantly are awful, too. the difference is that there is actually a substantial number of decent films, and nerd blockbusters are a short trend in the greater scope of cinema history, so reducing "superhero movie fanboys" to just "movie watchers" would be misleading, whereas all but few comic books are of the trashy-guilty-pleasure-at-best variety, so it's safe to make an equation between superhero comic geeks and comic audiences in general. steinrokkan has issued a correction as of 09:06 on Jul 18, 2017 |

Wait, are you saying that if somebody comes in and trashes everything you liked about a medium to satisfy themselves, it is you that are the problem and should get over it?

I'm tired of both groups of shitheads. Ones trying to make some sort of "statement" and the other's getting up in arms over it. This isn't a truth in the middle  thing. I think Idris Elba as James Bond for example would be fascinating to see. Not because he's black, but because he's a good actor. Same could be said for most other media. I think if the intent was "Well I just thought this would make the character's backstory more interesting in modern times" or "This guy/girl blew us the gently caress away during auditions. How could you NOT hire them?" are both acceptable answers to doing such a thing."A BLACK TRANSGENDER SPIDER MAN IS WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW IN THE AGE OF TRUMP" is not.

The only benefit of not animating I can see is it makes the content significantly easier and cheaper to produce, so you get a lot more creators involved making a lot more content and that has real benefits. The illustration here is almost certainly producing a more lasting, evocative, and detailed image than cheap Saturday morning cartoons. I mean, yes it's all stupid baby poo poo and superheroes are basically the single most reactionary sideshow in all of popular culture, but the medium is actually insanely good at what it does, which is producing iconic imagery that later becomes the basis for multimedia empires. Watch a kid read a comic book some time--they don't just idly flip through the pages like a paperback, they pour over every line and hatch on every single page, admiring all the little details and so on. It's unfortunate that most of the people working in the medium are hacks on a deadline, because the "still-frame" images of comics actually have a lot of potential in terms of framing, composition, and their unique cinematic style which is actually difficult to replicate in traditional animation or film.

I knew a few women nerds that were happy to be represented and enjoyed the flick. If it brought them happiness? That's good. I just had no interest in really seeing the thing either way. super sweet best pal posted:Yeah, there are far better comedies from the old SNL veterans. Still ok though. Caddyshack comes to mind.

I think the constant, never ending back lash against him on twitter just got to him. poo poo like telling a random dev to keep trying/good work with their indie game and having the person demand that notch give them money while constantly insulting him. Hell even Lowtax starting insulting/pestering him demanding money for Minecraft's success.
