You must not go to the weekly threads Anon, most Flashbros love Best Girl.
>>78084492
the movie was literally word for word transcript of the book, sans the ending. i liked the movie more
>>78084438
Agreed.
>>78084537
its a 50/50 split
>>78084545
Pretty much.
The movie showed how bad the graphic novel was.
i hate star wars with every fiber of my being. i hope the new movie sucks horse cock. i hope it's worse than ep 1
I have no problem with changing a character's race, sex, etc. In my opinion, comic books are sort of like the modern American mythology. Like, comic books, especially superhero ones, are so ingrained in American culture, I would compare it to mythology. Like, if you go to any non-American country and ask them to list "The most American things ever," I guarantee you that one of the most said answers will be Superman, Batman, Iron Man, or Captain America. So, assuming comic books are to American society as mythology was to ancient Greece (yeah, I know, mythology was also their religion, but in this context I mean their, like, cultural stories), then we've gotta be okay with character changes. Like, in Greek, Norse, Chinese, whatever mythology, one prominent theme is that the gods or characters change depending on who tells the story. In one story, Ra may be a literal bird while in another story he's a dark skinned hunk. The same with comic book characters.
When they change your favorite character's identity, just remember that this is just a different story. The character you grew up loving, they still exist in those stories of them you first read.

Baseball, football, hot dogs, hamburgers. And then they laugh at you for worshiping superheroes.

Doesn't make it a good adaptation. Zach Snyder knows the lyrics by heart but knows fuck all about the music behind it

Are we watching the same movie?
Because recently I saw Watchmen on DVD AND had the graphic novel by my side, and it is NOT, literally word for word, transcript of the book! Not in the least!

Glad I'm not the only one who hated that pretentious bullshit and Socialist euro-shit.
I heard so many "good" reviews from /co/, prior to the movie. I heard that it was "deep" and "well-written". What I got was a bunch of shallow, whiny, political and social diatribe from a petulant, bearded old hippy shit who fucks trees and worships snakes to be "edgy", not even mentioning the fact that Moore hates comic book fans.
>>78087030
mah nigga
I don't mind the Asian Ironfist on Netflix. Wonder Woman is overrated and Captain marvel deserves her spot.
>>78084438
Tramsformers RID (2001) doesn't deserve much of the love it gets from the fandom.
RID 2015 is a lot more fun despite the shitty season 1 finale.

People who think that "comic books" == "superheroes" are not comic book fans.
Speaking of Watchmen, any update on the rumored Watchmen tv show?

>>78087852
>i thought it came from cricket
softball did yes, because the women weren't allowed to play cricket
>>78088151
scratch that, I'm an ignoramus, British women invented baseball, American men developed softball so the ladies could play, too
>>78087812
I also read that League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, the one in the 60's with the Harry Potter references, and found it repugnant and boring.
I, much to Moore's eternal and unknowing chagrin, loved the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie. Good action flick.
>>78087030
This.
Sometimes I go back to the book to reread it and it seriously gets worse with each read.
And as funny as it is, the movie gets more enjoyable every time I watch it again.

He focused more on foreign policy than domestic. I think it's pretty arguable that the Bay of Pigs Invasion wasn't a very good idea, too. I think his biggest accomplishment was how he handled the Cuban Missile Crisis, though you could also argue that that could have been avoided by not launching the invasion.
Honestly, I think that the reason people don't share your opinion is that he was assassinated, among other reasons.
Kung-fu Panda 2 is a shoddily written, poorly paced movie.

Everything 4chan loves is shit, especially Pixar/Dreamworks movies.
Scott Lobdell has the potential to be a good writer when disconnected from continuity and histories. Like in "Doomed" it was mediocre to average and very readable. I would be interested to see what a creator owned series by him would be like
Ignoring it's fanbase and ignoring it's intended audience, FiM is legit crap. Horsecrap if you will.
One Punch Man is genius.
Kingdom Come sucked.
Geoff Johns is underrated in terms of his ability to almost always have a good chemistry with his artists.
I don't really know if this is an unpopular opinion per se, I just don't see it posted anywhere that often.
>>78093087
>mediocre to average and very readable
not the mark of a "good" writer
Barry/Hal suck so fucking much
I don't honestly believe any single person enjoys them in their respective stories. Like why?
Wtf
also
Johns can eat a dick
Superboy being part Lex sploooge will never be forgiven
>>78093509
Bendis and Slott get the best artists
its unfair as fuck
also, as someone who didn't read pre52 JL
how do Johns stories compare to like Morrison's or others?
>>78093237
that's fact, anon
>>78093615
>Humberto Ramos
>best artists
on what fucking planet
Johns JL has its ups and downsmostly because the first few arcs were clearly written by someone elsebut Forever Evil and beyond stack up pretty well. Maybe not the best, but still pretty good.
>>78093509
>Geoff Johns is underrated in terms of his ability to almost always have a good chemistry with his artists.
To be honest, when it comes to guys like Francis Manapul, Doug Mahnke, JRJr even Jim Lee, their work with Johns is far from their best.
I'm not saying he had BAD chemistry with them, (though Mahnke has bad chemistry with some of the inkers/colourists for sure), I just don't see your point about having particularly noteworthy chemistry.
>>78093647
he's probably talking about like Reis and Fabok and Frank
he even squeezed an ok product out of Finch
Johnny Test started out meh. Not bad, not good, just ok. It became shit-tier when it went on Cartoon Network.
>>78093647
I'll disagree with you on Mahnke, but I actually agree with you on most of the artists you listed. I was actually thinking of Mike McKone, Ethan Van Sciver, Ivan Reis, Phil Jimenez, (at times) George Perez, Kolins, etc. There are quite a few artists who've had what are considered defining runs for their careers with Johns (Perez and Jimenez not included in that).
>>78093615
>how do Johns stories compare to like Morrison's or others?
Morrison's JLA is odd. Like it's jam packed full of kidea son every page, and has lots of good character beats and "big action" beats, but it also has a lot of cluttered artwork (the Howard Porter of today draws circles around his late 90s self).
Kelly and Mahnke on JLA is as good as it gets imo, and makes most of Johns stuff feel really weak, or interesting-but-drawn-out-too-long, buuut I'll add the qualifier that I haven't JL in about a year.
Marvel and DC for fags. Books are the best.
>>78093673
This is actually a pretty common opinion for Johnny Test.
I don't get why The Spirit constantly gets revived. The stories by Eisner are great, the actual characters are kind of boring and the appeal has almost nothing to do with them but with the creative storytelling.
>>78093631
>Sara Pichelli, Coipel, Immonen, Bagley, Marquez, Bachalo
>bad artists?
>>78093859
I see you're listing Bendis's artists and not Slott's
who got Ramos
you cunt
and yes Bagley is bad
I liked Stark-clone Ultron and I liked the movie.
>>78092583
Why are the Furious Five even around at this point?
Tell me if any of those characters, Tigress aside, affected the story in any major way?
But hey least Lucy Liu gets a paycheck.
>>78093087
I kind of agree with this.Lobdell has good ideas but he executes them in awful ways.
the fantastic four should have been formally retired years ago and just operated as consultants
Hulk and the Agents of SMASH was decent.
>>78084438
Spider-Man never should have been an avenger.
Legend of Korra was good.
>>78084438
She's a solid, relatable character
>>78084438
I don't think it sucks but I do think it's overrated. For instance like half the characters suck and are boring, like Nite Owl and Silk Spectre are basically just lame white people. The psychic squid stuff is kind of stupid too and Mr Danhattan seems to act stupid just for the sake of the plot when he's supposed to be this great genius. The prose parts at the end of each issue are pretty boring as well, comic book writers tend to write pretty bad prose in general and Alan Moore is not an exception. But there are some positive parts, Rorschach is p cool, and the story does have some interesting themes about time, knowledge, uniting against a common enemy etc, and I like the ending. Also I thought that the movie was more entertaining than the book, which definitely does not deserve to be mentioned alongside books that are actually great, so I won't mention any of them.
anime a shit
>>78085593
I second this
Also wonder woman failed after #25
I liked the Joker in The Batman. The design was a bit odd, but Kevin Micheal Richardson did the voice/mannerisms fucking perfectly. The same could be said about Tom Kenny's Penguin portrayal, but his design wasn't as wacky.
OTGW, for all it's amazing music and animation, was crippled by it's terrible dialogue and protagonists.
moral orel is the best tv show ever created
comics are for man children with shit taste in entertainment
BoJack Horseman isn't sad enough to be a drama nor funny enough to be a comedy
>>78084740
The Greeks and Romans often recast myth for political/propagandic purposes. Theseus (hero of Athens) was constantly reshaped to fit the agenda of power in Athens, and there is a long tradition starting with the classical Athenian playwrights of inverting the morality of well-known myths. So it's true that there are parallels between myth and modern redesigning of characters, but that doesn't mean it's always a benign phenomenon.
Also I don't think they ever did anything like turn Perseus into a woman or Penelope into an Ethiopian.

The squid was in reference to Reagan's belief that the USA and the USSR would band together if aliens invaded. In fact, part of Ozymandias' back story was inspired by Reagan (sandbagging in school to fit in.)

I mean, it's also drawing a pretty clear parallel between Manhattan and Ozy and their status as "gods." Ozy spends millions of dollars and hundreds of lives in his attempt to create life, and he ends up with a dead monster that kills millions
and Manhattan basically decides to do it on a whim because he knows he can

Don't forget people who post shit because they know it will get a rise out of others.
Once you get past the crossover aspects, it's actually pretty mediocre.
Also, Joss Whedon is a terrible writer.
