Right, and the only panels that are dumped in here without context are panels that are better without it, like Batman and Superman at the beach with Batman looking surly. If nobody knew who Batman and Superman were that panel wouldn't have been funny, even if you explained it, because the punchline is the culmination of decades of Batman being Batman and it doesn't work the same way if you just tell me he's a dark, brooding vigilante. Similarly, if you're posting about a wizard (? Still not clear on this point) fighting a wizard shark (again, this was never explained so I really have no idea) and it's super clear to you that the guy can't swim or whatever but figures out he can punch-swim I guess as a byproduct of his amazing punches we also don't know about, but objectively the panels themselves don't clearly communicate literally any of that (because it just looks like a guy flying around underwater even though we were just told he can't) then maybe it's a bad candidate for posting. I get that it's unfair that the (predominantly western) posters in the (predominantly western) comic book forum don't get your manga references and therefore don't find your manga funny, but there's literally an eastern animation forum you could go to in order to overcome this and not be made fun of for posting unfunny panels in the funny panels thread. If you're not 100% certain that you can explain a panel well enough to stand on its own and be funny to people who are unfamiliar with not only the source manga but also the entire culture of the people that made it, maybe don't post it?

pretty sure that guy's a "wizard" that casts "fist" from the last time this dance happened here. Which is funny with context! Just like Dungeon Meshi is hilarious with context! Hell, they're both basically D&D jokes written long form stringless fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Jun 22, 2020 |

Here's the relevant bit from the BSS rules:quote:1) manga panels are welcome in the Funny/Badass/Touching/Etc. Panels threads so long as they don't contain untagged NSFW or creepy stuff. Out of courtesy please keep in mind that most BSS readers may have less background knowledge about many mangas than they would about, say, Batman or the X-Men or From Hell or whatever, so consider thinking about if the panels you want to post make sense or have much impact to a complete newcomer to the text, and provide context accordingly. If you feel like a specific poster hasn't given enough context for a manga scene to be intelligible to you feel free to ask for clarification but singling out "manga posters" as the blanket culprits in here isn't going to fly.

Manuel Calavera posted:I will hear no slander of Cinci chili. In the PYF food porn thread, GWS, or here. Thank you Manuel Calavera, I always knew you were a hero. Infinitum posted:Explain this poo poo to me. "Cincinnati chili" is kind of weird, but I love it more than almost any other food on Earth. It's kind of weird for a chili-- more of a soup than a stew, more bean-y than beef-y, and seasoned to be dark and sweet with stuff like cloves, sometimes dark chocolate, nutmeg, and cinnamon (I also splash in a little strong coffee when I make it at home). It was introduced by a Macedonian immigrant in the 20s and to be sure in a lot of ways it has more in common with stuff like saltsa kima with its very very Mediterranean spice profile, and was initially just a topping for hot dogs before taking off as a topping for pasta. You'll often get it served additionally with cheddar cheese, diced onion, and oyster crackers (since the consistency is so thin and the broth is so tasty). Today I think most people associate it with an Ohio chain, Skyline Chili, which I'm led to believe is not very good and is the source of most pictures of like, a teeny tiny bowl of chili surmounted by 18 pounds of cheese. I used to make Cincinnati chili all the time because it cooked up in big batches easily and was simple to make vegetarian (since the beef is doing relatively little of the work) but I found that it was a harder sell on Midwestern friends since they'd all come to associate it with kind of gross chain fast food. It can be a really delicious, soothing meal if you approach it right and clear your mind of any preconceptions about what chili is (I legit think it would be a more popular dish if it was just called something else). Here's my grandma's recipe for it-- you can easily swap the beef for fake beef crumbles, roughly torn tofu, or even chopped mushrooms. She also notoriously forgot to write down anything about the beans, which has passed down through the generations I guess (although reading into it now it appears that beans are traditionally an optional extra?). Just put in a decent amount of dark red kidney beans. When my mom copied it down she also took out the dark chocolate because she was a diet fan but I usually put it back in. I like to put in some coffee as well and maybe a few dashes of whatever hot sauce is out.    (Hawkeye vs. Deadpool #0) Edit: I also want to note that Tom Taylor's Suicide Squad is really good. Here's the last page of this week's issue #6.

There's a fight scene in the latest Jimmy Olsen (#11) which is just delightful. Only one issue left! I'll miss this series. Edit: Suicide Squad (#6) is great this week too. Probably my favourite issue of the series so far!     I could have included several more pages, but the dog stuff was a highlight.

Endless Mike posted:It's a hot dog with chili and a ton of cheese. What is hard to understand? I think that the lead-in was replying to someone who said it looked like spaghetti on the hot dog, and the follow-up references to Cincinatti and the tiny-rez picture did not manage to clearly correct matters. I've seen bad pasta that dry and yellow. Makes perfect sense if you already know what folks are talking about, makes no sense if you don't. It's like everyone was saying "oh yeah, pasta on hot dogs, that's normal."

Hey now, I will point out I specifically stated that it was a two-way you shouldn’t put on a hotdog. Cincinnati chili whips rear end on a hotdog. Two way chili whips rear end in general. Don’t put actual spaghetti on a hot dog.
