I'm normally like "gently caress, okay, gently caress, gently caress, you can do this, you have... eighteen minutes, you're a good person" but then again I don't have the sort of inheritance that allows me a gorgeous black-and-white power suit and a, uh, worldwide organization

I would join ULTIMATUM right now if I could. There are only a tiny sliver of Captain America villains who would aggressively seek out Richard Spencer to punch him in the face.

If Goblins ever gets animated it will look just like Baman Piderman. The difference being that Baman Piderman is poorly drawn, but consistently drawn, and well animated, because it's going for a grade-school child kind of innocence but drawn by a competent artist, with a world that starts as a literal blank canvas with 2 houses on it, that builds through increasingly long videos until the characters have build a cast and relationships with each other, and the world retains all it's changes (in one episode, Piderman has thoughtbubbles illustrating his piecing together that Baman is an imposter - those bubbles stay in that corner of the room for the entire rest of the series, with Piderman feeding the tiny-thought-bubble Bamans birdseed :3:) becoming more and more complete, like an animated version of the Grow flash games.

Goblins will just be a mess.

Here's the playlist for Baman Piderman, to illustrate my point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7-TQdN40Dk&list=PLD0750A49525188E9

To be fair to those really old artworks, wasn't perspective literally invented by a Renaissance artist? Fillipo Brunelleschi was the first artist to make use of linear perspective to make a scene actually look like it looked in real life. A few years later a dude called Masaccio used the same techniques but advanced on them founding the modern Realist idea, pictures having real depth was relatively recent.

Hot Fries are actually pretty grand. When I was in Kindergarten, sometimes my mom would give me a quarter so I could get a little bag of them with my lunch and some days that was the only happy thing that happened.

That’s how I know they’re great. I liked them when I was five.

When I was like 8-10 I would have to go to work with my mom sometimes in the summer and she would buy me a pack of them from the vending machine because they were so spicy it would keep me occupied for like an hour trying to eat them.

You pretty much have to soak them in water and then insta-freeze with liquid nitrogen them to make them smashable. It's a tricky process but it looks pretty cool if you can be bothered going to all that effort.

It's incwedibwe easy to suck my own dick.

My completely unsupported guess is that someone working on the comic was enamored of the word “iconoclast” but not actually qualified to translate it and ended up doing a lovely job.

He’s still the villain of my heart, super lovely Deadpool(?) art/storyline notwithstanding. When did comics transition from empowerment fantasies for preteen boys to really ugly empowerment fantasies for preteen boys? Is it all just done digitally now?

There's a few holdouts who still work with ink & paper but the huge majority are done digitally now. Working on a tablet is so much faster plus you can instantly email it to the colorist across the other side of the country as you finish each page.

I guess you could even narrowcast it live if you wanted feedback from the editor as you drew it.

Makes sense. The look reminds me of the lovely mass-produced shows my kid likes to watch when we give him screen time.

Guess I'm old. Also I have an opinion about comic books apparently. Shameful.

It's not just comics that look worse. I recently ended up watching several hours of Cartoon Network while really high. All the "old" shows are still there, but they all look immeasurably worse than they used to. Several of them even reference the fact that they used to look way better. Like, in the universe of the show. It's a weird fourth wall break that i can only assume is some illustrator's cry for help. Also all coherence, plot, or character has been removed. It's basically just shotgunning colors at faces.
Really entertaining if you're incredibly high and come up with complicated theories as to what drug each character is currently ODing on tho.

I literally finished reading Mark Gruenwald's run on Captain America last night and here's Flag Smasher, the conceptually best and sadly poorly used villain from his run finding love. Given how boringly apolitical most of Captain America's foes are, it was refreshing to have an anarchist show up. Even the literal Nazis don't go around actually talking up Nazi ideology, to the point that the guy who was supposed to be Hitler's right hand man actually says at one point that Nazism is stupid and now he's just into general nihilism.

Unfortunately finishing Gruenwald put me into Waid's tiny run which is followed by *sigh* Liefeld.
