so what the gently caress killed the webcomics “renaissance” exactly? like a couple dozen creators who could actually draw and craft a joke managed to gain some prominence, fastforward and now the genre is beholden to the dystopian social media reblogging trends of poo poo worse than newspaper comics ever were

Social media gave birth to web comics then strangled them in the crib

Star Wars is fascist, Harry Potter is fascist neo-feudal dreck, selfie-obsession is fascist, British soap-operas are fascist, sci-fi is generally fascist, ironic detachment is fascist, porn is fascist. Masscult under imperialism is inherently fascistic. Sorry to spoil your 'fun'.

*Points at John Wick franchise* Fascist

I watch crap. I just watched the Hobbit trilogy and thought it was ok. I used to like How I Met Your Mother. The show I'm most excited about is Murder House Renovation.

:same: but all those formulaic Canadian sci fi shows, I love them even though I know how bad they are, give me another season of dark matter, get Netflix to uncancel travellers, just inject it right into my brain

saw the 2nd ep of watchmen last night and it's not grabbing me. it feels like the second episode just created a ton more questions but didn't really do anything to move the story forward

there's a over-long flashback to explain an element of the main lady's backstory that she already clarified completely adequately by saying "i was a cop until i got shot on <MURDER_HOLIDAY> and now i retired" but i guess what we really needed was a 5 minute aside where it shows the events she just described, adding no new information along the way

also really bored with jeremy iron's creepy sex pest dude's B plot. dreading how they're going to tie in his plantation of cloned white slaves with the A plot in tulsa

He's pretty obviously Adrian veidt

was making vietnam a state in the comic book too its such a broadly ignorant idea the only defense i can come up with for its existence is that moore wrote it as a throwaway line not really knowing or caring about the history of vietnam as a country or how the war fit into capitalist propaganda

That's exactly what it is, it's a newspaper headline in a single panel

once lucas sold off the franchise it basically became terrible fanfiction. he wasn't using it, and he never cared about it as much as the superfans, but now that the patients are running the asylum poo poo has just nosedived so hard

This presupposes that the prequels are good
