irlZaphod posted:Agents of SHIELD might not be so bad if the characters weren't utterly dull and/or annoying. Yeah that's a big problem, the show hinges on the audience caring about the characters getting imperiled but they are all so uninteresting nobody cares. Show: Oh no Skye is dying! Care about this! Care about this annoying character! Do it!" Audience:

muscles like this? posted:I'm pretty sure the Superman stuff was on purpose and not just because he was too powerful. It was supposed to be because of the events of his series finale he was still kind of messed up emotionally and not fighting at his best. At least, that was what I remember being the explanation at the time. Shouldn't that also be a physically? Dude got blown up with a kryptonite nuke and had Darksied stomp a mud hole in his rear end until he got a lucky shot in.

B:TAS also existed at the tail end of actually being able to sell advertisers on cartoons. As I've brought up before advertisers were willing to fork out decent cash to get at that limited window that was saturday morning/weekday afternoons but after multiple studies showed how far cable had reached and how many homes had at least one tv dedicated to kids watching the growing number of kid centric channels the amount advertisers were willing to pay dropped to the point where you can't afford to produce an animated show on ads much less make money on one.

Sundowner posted:I hope more companies go this route. I understand the losses their taking by effectively making their CBR files stupidly available to people who'd pirate them but honestly it encourages me to want to buy books direct from them over ComiXology, which I believe is just a license to read the books I've paid for. I doubt we'll see that with Marvel or DC because of their parent companies stances on piracy being the end of the world.

Len posted:One of the local comic shops here is refusing to participate in FCBD. Like I get that Universal Comics is more Magic the Gathering than comics but I don't understand why you would want to deny customer traffic. Does it cost to be a part of FCBD? He might just be an insular comic nerd mad about people "stealing" his hobby, most of the comic shops that pop up here are run by guys like that, run directly into the ground that is.

Madkal posted:Name recognition? Thing is they get name recognition and they don't have to pay for it. Disney will only think about buying out Fox and Sony's contracts when they think the movies are damaging their other properties. Despite not having a shared universe every Spider-Man and X-Men movie is still creating Marvel buzz so it'll take some real flops critical and finical for Disney to give up what is basically risk free advertising.

Literally The Worst posted:There's no maybe about it. The whole book is about two good people who want to do good in the world, in their own ways, being thrust into a world of filth and perversion and hate and horrible assholes and coming out on the other side as still good people. It just so happens that the filth is also why modern comics are bullshit, according to Ennis (and also in line with his views on heroes in general). There's nothing in that book that doesn't serve a purpose. Ennis views on heroes is "Stop making GBS threads up comic books with superheroes I want to write spies, soldiers and cowboys!" and that's it.

Literally The Worst posted:That's not even close to being right though. Dude absolutely adores Superman, he just dislikes what superheroes have become in the last twentyish years. If "I hate superheroes" is all you take from Ennis' books you should probably read them again, he's hellbent on exploring what makes someone a hero and the absolute pinnacle of it to him is loving Superman. One instance where he showed he was smart enough not to poo poo where he ate doesn't make him a fan of Superman. He hates that the medium is dominated by them and has made no qualms about it.

Your biggest proof that Ennis loves Superman is that he writes to possibly the single most accepted definition of the heroic ideal in nearly every medium and genre in recorded history. Just because he writes generic heroes doesn't mean he likes a particular generic hero in a medium that he works with.

bad_trotsky posted:Ok, I think I have the way to use Hank Pym. He should always be the guest star/team up guy. He just did that in She Hulk and did it in Daredevil too. "Oh noes something is small better call Saul/Pym" It avoids his baggage and lets him do science guy stuff. What do you think? A shrinky tech Q where he avoids the stressors that have caused multiple mental breakdowns would be a great fit for Pym but will never stick because nostalgia demands the old Antman be Antman forever and ever instead of getting out of the superhero biz like he should from a character perspective.

I'm not surprised. There was enough rumbling about the possible effects on copyright if SCOTUS reviewed the case that Disney was never going to risk it. The Kirby's could have lost and still screwed them due to SCOTUS clarifying the law.

It was always just badly drawn long hair anyway. As for why nobody could correctly draw long hair on Superman [edit] No wait I just realized it was the iconic spit curl. They couldn't frame his face or use any of the usual tricks to show long hair because they had to preserve the spit curl. SirDan3k fucked around with this message at 03:03 on Oct 3, 2014 |

Metal Loaf posted:Yeah, I get that (I imagine it's why Cloak and Dagger's comic, which I mentioned a couple of posts ago, had the full title "The Mutant Misadventures of Cloak and Dagger") but it just seems a bit odd that they'd go out of their way to specify that Spider-Man isn't a mutant. Neither the Fantastic Four nor the Avengers comics had anything like "THE NON-MUTANT SUPERHERO TEAM!" on their covers. It was marketing voodoo where even mentioning the term mutant was supposed to boost sales.

It's a fact people care more when females get fridged, even if it's only to be angry about another fridging. A dude gets fridged and the world shrugs unless there is a ridiculously manipulative inclusion of a pet howling in sadness.

Moore's reputation has gotten worse over the years as he gets older and obviously hornier and you aren't bringing in any new blood with it, Disney still has aspirations for print comics to be profitable on their own without merchandising and are pushing for younger audience pulls.

In my experience it's about the only thing about Moore that has trickled through to casual comic fans over the years. People think Lost Girls was a DC book but they know Lost Girls was creepy porn.
