Oscar Wild posted:Media based on media is worse. Comic book movies. Comic book video games. Books adapted from film. It's referential garbage that doesn't have the decency to at least be innovative. Which makes it really telling that most musicals that people consider classics are adaptations...

Zombies' Downfall posted:I legitimately can't tell if Synthetic Hermit is an extremely sincere weirdo or doing some kind of heinous gimmick I'll take "extremely sincere weirdo", though I don't know why wanting artists to only use filth where there's a legitimate context for it rather than just for the sake of having filth is weird... Here's an example of the proper usage of filth, the Hsu & Chan comics:  (From Hsu & Chan #3) There's no nudity, though big breasted women are used to make jokes about big breasted women. Violence is used as an exclamation point or a trait of a guest character, usually in a humorous fashion, rather than centering the story on it. And the most gruesome violence always happens off-panel, with the characters usually humorously commenting on how gruesome it is. P.S. There was a line of officially licensed Christian Archie comics in the 70's written and drawn by legitimate Archie artist Al Hartley.

I grew up reading Bone comics, and Calvin and Hobbes. Calvin and Hobbes informed my early worldview quite a bit, I think

Is there a comic of Batman playing the violin or similar stringed instrument? I already have a screencap of the U2 video, but is that in canon anywhere?

These are mostly cashgrabs but there are occasional good ones, like the batman games/movies that were pretty popular, or lotr (though to be honest I didn't really like them). Though I guess you could say they're lowbrow either way so it's kind of a moot point.

The secret to enjoying webcomics is to be like me and have numb, normie-tier tastes when it comes to media edit: In retrospect, that's my secret to enjoying media in general Digamma-F-Wau fucked around with this message at 07:04 on Oct 1, 2016 |

Troposphere posted:miss saigon Miss Saigon is based on Madame Butterfly Incidentally Madame Butterfly is better than Miss Saigon. E: I'd say as far as webcomics go the Perry Bible Fellowship is both good and has artistic merit. If you want a compelling argument for the latter claim you need look no further than most goons not understanding it. E: The Rocky Horror Show is also a musical with artistic merit that's not for kids. The fan base is almost universally awful, though. It's deliberately kitsch and B-Movie quality and fantastically done in both regards. Rush Limbo fucked around with this message at 14:32 on Oct 1, 2016 |

Applewhite posted:The time travel arc was a cool twist on an old theme, IMO. I was just trolling you, it's actually pretty good, I *did* read them all. It was really funny at times. It's also good in that super-strength battles would result in dismemberments. It made sense. Side note, the way the Vitru-whatevers are drawn really recall Fist of the North Star to me for some reason, I wonder if it's an homage. But the book does share a problem with anything superhero that tries to add *realism*...any super-duper beings like that would completely warp Earth's reality beyond recognizability in a short period of time. MiracleMan embraced it and ended right afterwards like a Greek tragedy, Planetary dealt with it in a really neat way (i.e. conspiracy), and Invincible sort of tries to deal with it but not really - the immediate 'fake moons' to deal with the new water level were silly, and the amount of destruction the Earth saw would have caused a lot more repercussions. I think I would have liked it better if it had taken the themes it developed and ended at issue 100. There was a lot of rehashing, it got a bit repetitive.

Side note, the way the Vitru-whatevers are drawn really recall Fist of the North Star to me for some reason, I wonder if it's an homage. Yeah he tries to hold the story in tension between "realism" and "just silly fun" and it doesn't always work, but I think he does a good job of addressing some of the problems of a superhero world that other "fun" comics don't touch and serious comics never bother with. By keeping the comic a little ridiculous I think he's actually able to go a little further into a deconstruction of superheroes than a completely serious comic would be able to do. A superhero comic that was totally dedicated to realism would get sidetracked by the psychological and sociological changes brought about by superheroes way before it could get to the point where a talking dinosaur tried to blow up Las Vegas to provide limitless clean energy.

I miss the days when Buckley was genuinely awful instead of just being bland and boring. I still laugh when I think about him having a comic called "ctrl+alt+del" and it ending with a dude resetting the comic but not using a "ctrl+alt+del" the most obviously symbolic thing you could do. Mind you, saying that here's the latest comic. A joke that was ancient even when South Park did it about the Nintendo Wii.
