thanks OP

man this series got sad real fast

I haven't read this in a while, and I come back to everyone dying.

What was even the point of bringing new body Barry into the fucking picture whatsoever?
>>
>>78394310
>ONLY THE MEN DIE BECAUSE WE'RE SO PROGRESSIVE LOL
Fuck this SJW shit
>>
>>78394607

Same here, I loved the series, but fell off of it a bit when they started introducing a bunch of characters into the picture. Now seeing the original team all get fucking slaughtered in a flashback just turns me off entirely.
>>
>>78394664
Oh be quiet, its a good book.
>>
>>78394692
>not even trying to defend this shit
Go back to reading comic book panels in tumblr

>>78394692
It's an alright book.

It's feels like it's plot is jumping around a bit much.
>>
>>78394664

The fuck is wrong with you?
>>
>>78394649
This seemed like a REALLY sudden direction change that wasn't planned very well

>Set up in JL3000 that Hal is dying of green cancer but then just squish him anyway
>Bring Barry back for one line of dialogue and kill him yet again
>Firestorm came back between books and does almost nothing, dies
>Booster and Beetle might be alive but barely do anything anyway
>Half the Injustice League 3000 stopped doing villain stuff off panel, Lois disappeared a few issues ago
>We still haven't seen the New Gods 3000

I feel like they want to do too much and aren't sure how to make it all fit, and they kept adding too many characters and decided to cull half the cast, but this is a bit disappointing

>>78394673
Same, I don't mind the female lineup but I got pretty attached to the original 4 + Teri and now half of them are gone and only Batman got an actual worthwhile death
>>
>>78394692
>>78394766
don't fall for low quality no effort bait
>>
>>78394708
3000 had the men for awhile, do i like them being killed? No, im still not over Supes being killed like that. But uts still a good book and i always wondered how an all female JL would work out.
>>78394714
Yea. The plot doesnt really hold.
>>
>>78394714
I'm sad we didn't get to see the New Gods 3001 issue.

>>78394766
What is wrong with me? What is wrong with these writers, who would kill off characters on a whim just to earn brownie points from people who don't even read comics in a desperate attempt to increase sales. Fuck this mysandrist shit.

it feels like a chunk of fat was cut, because before 3001 we were supposed to have the two league groups interacting with the newly revived Barry as well. But that never really happened. Also I'm honestly sad that 3001 Harley was killed, not because I'm a Harley fan, but because I thought her and the Batsuit girl seemed like they had an interesting dynamic.
>>
>>78394156
Guy crying like a girl?
>>
>>78394812
Then make a new all-female JL (or don't, that's a terrible idea), don't fuck up a previous book just to be progressive. Fucking bullshit.

>>78394870
>He's doing it for fun, he doesn't care about brownie points
How naive are you? How much do you think this book sells compared to feminazi trash like A-Force? It's obvious they're trying to appeal to the SJW market for sales.
>>
>>78394930
I think Giffen (or JMD, I forget) said that since Guy's resurrection was a hackjob because Firestorm was a cheapskate, Guy's going to start regressing back to the host body's persona

so in a few issues we won't have Guy either, it'll be some random chick who has a bowlcut and GL powers
>>
>>78394940
Would you like some tea? You seem stressed
>>
>>78394970
The story itself said that as well a couple of issues ago. I think the one where he was wearing the dress.
>>
>>78395022
Yeah I think he was talking to somebody about having blackouts and doing stuff like crying about missing kids that aren't actually his
>>
>>78394263

...

I just had a thought, and I hope that it's just the sleep deprivation talking because I'll be very sad it if turns out to be the case.

But something about this page makes me think "setup." Like, at best Bruce takes this opportunity to abandon the League like he always wanted thereby disgracing the heroic death he earned in Diana's eyes, and at worst he's somehow been behind this whole "killer robot" thing or a part of it.

But that's just the sleep talking I'm sure.
>>
>>78394997
Of course I'm fucking stressed, fucking SJW who don't even read comics keep ruining them for me.

>Well, at least it isn't just the regular Justice League, but in the future, anymore.
but I liked the "JL but in the future" team

it's not like they were exactly the same as the present day counterparts
>>
Is it just me or did the direction of this book get completely fucked over after it became JL 3001? I mean it's like it tries to start so many different things then abandons those ideas only a couple of issues later while running around like a headless chicken. I seriously wonder how many issues will this all girl league will last given how short lives the previous things were.

Yeah shitposting for DC will probably just make sales go into the negatives
>>
>>78397200
DC literally doesn't care about the sales of this book or it would have been canceled during the 3K run. It's only alive because Giffen is a veteran and they're letting him do whatever he wants.
>>
>>78394156
I think I missed an issue but what happened to Batman?

WHY IS EVERY GUY TURNING INTO A GIRL OR GETTING KILLED!

Batman and the little green bitch-boy is the only guys that still alive.

And yet this book will sell less than A-Force.
>>
>>78397369
It's not trying to. A-Force is going to get canceled regardless anyway.

>>78397291
Ok I got there, this is future Bruce parasite not clone guy so he most likely lived.
>>
>>78394940
eightchan is that way

Just imagine the outrage if this book became about an all-male team?

Fuck it, dropped. Misandry claims yet another victim.
>>
>>78397238
And Giffen on the loose can be great, or it can be...well, not all of the bad 5YL ideas were Tom and Mary, sorry to say.
>>
I don't understand why they made it into an all women team either. It was the only book to have pre new 52 nostalgia, and I didn't mind femFlash either. New Bat kid was fine, but Ice and Fire are boring as fuck and Wonder Woman and Teri getting all sappy is really weird as well.
>>
Am I the only one who thinks this was handled fairly well? Sure the team is all-female now but it's not like they're doing it to make some sort of point that the women are so much better than men or something. They only survived because a man gave them the opportunity to flee.
>>
>>78394018

What the Fuck happened to this book? They literally dropped every single plot line and killed off most of the cast just to turn it into a shittier copy of A-Force? What the hell happened to this series?!!! Are Giffen and Dematteis drunk?

Guy's still there though

Is Bruce's descendent a catgirl or are those headphones or horns?
>>
>>78398325
I think the whole thing is hilarious but leave it to /co/ to be triggered by women characters getting the spotlight on a capeshit book. This is classic Giffen not giving a fuck and just doing whatever he thinks is funny.
>>
>>78399164
>What the Fuck happened to this book?

It's not selling so Giffen most likely decided to go mad with the issues he's got left and then wrote a better A-Force book than an actual woman
>>
I get the lack of sales being an excuse for Giffe to do what he wants but I dont give a shit about any of these characters except 2 or 3
Kara is boring. Im sorry theres nothing you can do to fix that
Bea and Tora are good characters but now all they have to bounce off of is each other as opposed to guy Guy and B&G.
Batgirl I dont care about. At all.
Terri is fun because shes seen so much shit but if shes the main character then make her the main character.
Didnt care about Diana with the old 3K crew and I certainly still dont care about her now
Guy is Guy I guess? Shes not done anything stand out yet tho

Ill probably keep skimming through issues but I dont see any interesting dynamics here, the characters I could care less about, espacially with how everyone else got killed off. I thought the New Gods 3K idea looked like a little too much but it was more interesting than this

Giffen did a shorty job because every female in this book is a Mary Sue. Ot's like Max Landis says, Women being competent and capable is unrealistic and all women belong in the kitchen.

So every thread about this run is going to be filled with random shitposting?
Thanks, Abrams.

All the people bitching about this probably haven't realized that Bruce is probably alive, and will meet up with Booster and Ted, likely resurrect CADMUS, and make an army of leaguers when all hope seems lost.

The robots obviously only targeted the famous JL members, Terri only wasn't targeted maybe because they already killed Barry or because she was too different from their records of Barry because she a was a female.

For Bruce Wayne to live, the Batman had to die.

Because they're dinosaurs? No matter how intelligent they are, their brains aren't as developed in the ways that are necessary, they wouldn't be able to be trained in the ways that dolphins are. As far as I know, dinosaurs are completely lacking in the prefrontal cortex, which is what makes mammalian brains able to think in the ways that they can, which is different from the ways that birds think. Not to mention the fact that

>dinosaurs are pack animals
>>
>>78407167

"Mary sue" only means "competent female"
The movie is amazing and all of you are just being contrarians as usual. God forbid there is a positive role model for girls out there, we can't have that, oh fuck no!
>>
>>78407204

I think that her flaws could've had more real consequences in the plot to make her character seem like it had more agency than just bing a new variation of "the chosen one", but let's face it, Kylo Ren was the real focus of the story.

No Mary Sue is the sign of a writer who doesn't know how to write a female character. In the OT Leia was more competent than Luke was a majority of the time, but she wasn't perfect and had a personality. Like I said I enjoyed the movie but Rey was a flat character maybe they'll build her up in VIII.

It's been a while since I've seen a Jurassic Park movie, but I thought they specifically mentioned that they couldn't exactly clone them as they had no DNA samples in good enough condition, and had to mix with other shit with the primary focus being that the end result will look like a dinosaur.

Or maybe not. As I said it's been a while.
>>
>>78407297
>can speak droid

Pretty sure he can't. That's why they bought C3PO, so he could translate. The only reason he could talk to R2 while in his X-Wing is because it was being translated into a language Luke knew on his display.
>>
>>78407415

No, you're right.
>>
>>78407427
She understood BB-8.
>>
>>78407415
I think that's the real life explanation for why we can't clone dinosaurs. They've talked about trying to clone a Woolly Mammoth, but they'd have to basically make it a hybrid with elephant DNA.

>use the Force to deflect plasma bolts minutes after being told such a thing is possible
He was with Obi Wan for days training and Obi Wan was there with him helping him
>complete a successful bombing run that experienced pilots weren't able to complete
He was only able to because Han came back and saved his ass
>knows how to fly an X-Wing as well as experienced pilots despite having only driven a landspeeder in the past
He explains that they're just like ships he flies at home and Rebel pilots train with those ships
>is trained by one of the greatest Jedi to ever live in the second and third movies, and one of the best in the first
They were never said to be the greatest in the OT, just master and the master's master. They were made to be great because they were in those movies
>can speak droid
He needed 3PO to understand R2. He understood R2 as much as you can understand a dog

>knows how to pilot and fix the Falcon right away and better than Han
Knowing how to pilot the Falcon as well as Han is a legit complaint. However, being able to fix it is easily explained because of her status as a scavenger and salvager.
>Han overs her a job within the first day of meeting her
Because Chewbacca is injured, and the rest of his crew is dead.
>can speak droid and wookie
Because she's been working and living as a salvager and scavenger for most of her life.
>can use the force on her first try without a teacher
Legit gripe.
>get's the Millennium Falcon and is Luke's apprentice by the end of the first movie
She gets the Falcon because she's able to pilot it, and is friends with Chewbacca. Who's going to argue with him? And she becomes Luke's apprentice because of her connection to his lightsaber, and he's not exactly going to turn her down when the rebellion is in such dire straits.

I thought that too but it seemed like she worked through the orange alien and didn't have a need to work with anyone else, outside of him she seemed to keep to herself. And she's a scavenger but that doesn't equal mechanic. She built that popsicle speeder herself but I had to learn that from an art book and not the movie.

I understand why it still feels a bit like a fanfic I wrote as a kid about someone who's a latent Jedi but also a pilot who inherits the Falcon

It's basic Campebellian storytelling. The main character is the best character because they're the main character. Mythic storytelling and all that.

I mean, look at the last three movies as another example. Anakin is literally born of a virgin mother, has prophecies written about him, is instrumental in the destruction in a religious and political order that's lasted for thousands of years, is an ace pilot and who lead a successful bombing run before he even hit puberty, along with building C-3PO and winning that pod race.

Rey is the next in a line of main character = best character in the Star Wars franchise. No different from either Anakin or Luke.

Why is an all female JL a bad idea, exactly? If your argument is "CUZ THEY GIRLS", know all of your opinions are invalid cuz you're a shit human being.
>>
>>78408487
Are you sure you wouldn't rather be in tumblr?
>>
>>78408547
I love this line of thinking. Someone makes a legitimate argument and you respond with "tumblr"
>>
>>78408336
Anakin's character arc wasn't really that good and Luke's was just the hero's journey. Like I said Rey has two more movies and a new EU so she'll probably grow from there. They setup the new galaxy pretty well so I can't wait to see where they go

>>78408487
Not that anon but it's not the female JL for me it's the fact that they suddenly killed Superman, Firestorm, Hal and brought back Barry just for him to die. Also Blue and Gold are still MIA
>>
>>78408627
It's not a legitimate argument, it's a tumblr, pro-feminazi argument. Fuck off.
>>

Is it just me or does Supergirl come off as a bitch in this issue?

>>78408487
When you have to kill off male characters to make the "all-female" team work, it does seem hackish. But even then, most likely Bruce, Booster, Ted, and Firestorm will come roaring in at some point.

>>78408715

You'd be a little short of temper if you were going through the same shit that she is.

All band X usually sucks because it feels forced.

In the case of this book it sucks because a bunch of sub plots got dropped and characters that weren't even explored got blown off. There was a lot left to explore with the cloning process and the half assed past. Now Diana is the only real clone left as guy will probably end up dead.

>All band X usually sucks because it feels forced.
I don't see people complaining when there's an all-male team around.
>>
>>78409596
You're saying women don't count as people?
>>
>>78408781
I liked asshole Firestorm, he was my favorite version of the character.
>>
>>78409596
Can you give me a recent example?

I think an all X team could work IF it isn't forced. For example a wakanda based avengers team or maybe Wonder Woman leading an amazoian strike team.

Last all fem team I remember flowing well was Birds of Pray. They weren't mashed together because "lol tits", they didn't spout random SJW shit, and they had chemistry as they fought crime.
>>
>>78405633
hah. shit I missed that. Confirms this as intentional, and parody.
>>
>>78409596
Whens the last time there's been one?
Illuminati is all I remember and people DID complain.

>>78407238
>but let's face it, Kylo Ren was the real focus of the story.

This. She feels half-assed because her character's actions and development are not the focus of the story, just an accessory. Next movie probably will focus around her and make her flaws more apparent as Luke trains her
>>
>>78409750
I remember reading Adjectiveless X-Men.

That was an all-female team and it was so goddamn boring.
>>
>>78409800
What happened to the baby Jubilee found?
>>
>>78409800
That was because Wood and Guggenheim are boring writers, not the concept itself.
>>
>>78409880
Yeah, I honestly think A-Force did the whole female team concept better with it's writing.
>>
>>78409750
>They weren't mashed together because "lol tits"
They ended up as that when the only guest stars they ended up having were women. And new 52 BOP was just a bunch of women mashed together that they didn't know what to do with, like Katana and Ivy.

Those early issues were great, before editorial derailed it. Even after the derailing, we still got a funny token guy out of it.

Mah nigga.

Exactly, now I'm thinking that there will be some time travel plots involved involved in the near future of the book, right? right?

But Anakin and Luke fucked shit up and needed to be rescued a lot.

Rey manager to scape on everything. She only fucked up by running away one time, and it is a very minor flaw, she never really lost or was humillated like Luke, Han or Anakin.

The only bad thing that I see here is that Giffen seems to be aping Kirkman's writing style by having sudden deaths that cut off established plotlines, leaving them unresolved in perpetuity.

That said, this is a character driven book, and the characters are all great, and have been great. Firestorm and Flash were barely characters at all, so they're not being mourned, Superman and Batman will both drive pathos while Bruce being revealed to have not been killed will rally the team together at a moment of crisis, and Hal was dying anyway, so...

I see what Giffen's doing, and he's doing it well. I just wish that it didn't resemble Walking Dead in the doing.
>>
>>78411890
I'd say the dropping is worst than what Kirk does. The way Giffen is going about it just screams please buy me.

In Invincible plot points may slide into the background (future where mark leaves earth, aliens who helped the reality hopping guy) but they don't just get dropped like a hot potato. They either come back later to fuck everything up or aren't immediate threats that must be solved now.

With WD Kirk has forced the book into a slice of death zombie book where the plot hits the exact same cycle over and over. It becomes tedious especially where there are so many things he could do with the plot, but there is some build up and not complete fuck yous to the status quo.

Now look at 3k1. We've had what now? 3 time skips where we only caught up with what was going on by flashbacks and explanations. Interesting plot points that would have let the book stand out thrown away for not future JLI hijinx. Can you imagine the shit storm that would have happened if viltermite war or prison arc ended in flashbacks? Kirk would have been called a complete and utter hack (well more so).

But Luke wasn't the best. Nor was Anakin, him being Vader proves he wasn't the best. People who are the best don't get turned into crispy torsos.
though I haven't seen tfa so I'm not sure how much of Rey is embellishment.
