Anyway DiscoColle is hit or miss as hell. I like their theory stuff because I have a hard time reading boring rear end books but am interested in theory, and some of their culture episodes are good. The Harry Potter one slaps.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:They ignored how the Star Wars Extended Universe was filled with a ton of stupid poo poo, and Disney had a reasonable cause to try and exercise quality control. But then they made Force Awakens exactly like a badly written EU story anyway, so they cut out the biggest draw that maintained their franchise's fanbase for nothing. Bring in the Yuuzhan Vong imo

The worst part is Jason Aaron not getting to write his comic about Stormtroopers coming for Yoda and basically it's predator but Yoda is the predator Also Skippy the Jedi Droid and that one Ennis comic about the stormtrooper Leia kills at the beginning of New Hope aren't canon anymore and that sucks

wizard on a water slide posted:if the stories exist in the world and have value to you, why do you need the validation of a canon bitch i do comic books my relationship with canon is immensely complex in that i recognize canon as being important and i like for things i like to be Officially Real and Recognized and able to be referenced but also i know it's all bullshit also Pener Kropoopkin posted:Canon is important because it's something that a greater mythology can be built upon. If you declare something to be non-canon, then it can never be alluded to ever again, regardless of how much people like it. The issue isn't that Disney can somehow wipe out all those existing stories or the enjoyment of them, the issue is that they're smothering what used to be a living franchise. It's what the Struggle Session guys mean when they say that the Star Wars universe used to feel huge, but now feels tiny. A literal entire galaxy of possibilities have been cut out because the people who own the franchise - not its creators - think they're exercising quality control. Yet they're not even delivering quality storytelling. They're exploiting what they think people loved about Star Wars, and it's not going to last forever.

again my primary Thing is a medium that has for decades been defined by a willingness to alter its own history to suit a story the difference is that comics very rarely just go "actually this whole time span didn't happen eat poo poo fuckos" instead of explaining why ACTUALLY this is what REALLY happened also there's a literal universal mechanism in DC that explains how different stories are canon at different times, it rules hard

Dreddout posted:I'm sorry you decided to waste your time investing in something that is really just justification for perpetual franchises. Or it's a natural bypeoduct of decades of stories with an eye towards people reading them over a long period of time instead of cycling in and out every couple years but I mean Whatever

Nothus posted:The first half-hour is fun. I don't even mind the space My Lai stuff because a storm trooper having second thoughts is an interesting story arc. The rest of it turns into a loving slog though. loving the actual best star wars thing ive ever read is a short comic about a nameless stormtrooper about to go on a boarding mission, and its all just his internal monologue about how terrified he is and how hosed this all is and how if he just gets through this mission hes deserting and every step of the way hes amazed at the fact that he's defied the odds and lived a little longer and he's more and more sure that he's going to take the gently caress off tomorrow and then princess leia shoots him in the face because it's actually the opening of new hope

Nothus posted:That sounds amazing. What's it called? i dont remember, but its in this star wars anthology comic from like the early 90s, if i get a chance tonight i'll dig it up edit it took way less time than i expected, its from Star Wars Tales #10, Trooper, by Garth Ennis and John McCrea, an absolute powerhouse team

Mecha Gojira posted:I have a couple of the trades, which includes that story. It was cool because the whole premise was they weren't tied down to any sort of canon and could do whatever. Like 90% sure it did yeah Like I said, it's Garth "I'm real good at war comics" Ennis and John McCrea aka a dope artist who went on to do Hitman and I think the demon with him It's a sick team for a ten page story or whatever

Pener Kropoopkin posted:I subscribed to Struggle Session on Patreon, and episode 21 with Blair Erickson is excruciating to listen to. The guy's a self-described libertarian socialist who thinks that bitcoin is somehow going to take down capitalism. I mean What Like left libertarianism is technically a thing even if nobody who fits the bill uses the term anymore but then Bitcoin is just unrestrained capitalism This makes no sense

Pener Kropoopkin posted:I'm not saying that any of the hosts for sure don't know anything, but that they don't push back at all on their guest who thinks bitcoin is capitalism's silver bullet. Leslie Lee does say that Banshee Chapter is his new favorite horror movie though, which makes all of his other opinions suspect. I watched it because of that episode, and it's a very competently done found footage horror movie - but the ending is bullshit because it doesn't make sense for reasons I'd have to spoil the plot to explain. Please don't because I'm about to do a movie podcast and a competently done found footage movie with a poo poo ending is ins anely in our wheelhouse Also if your fave modern horror movie isn't the Creep series just get out now
