OK, so I just read some of this comic and I have to ask, am I missing something? Why does /co/ hate it so much? Don't get me wrong, it's bad, it's really fucking bad; the writing is unfunny and juvenile, and the art is... amateurish at best, downright lazy at worst.
But with all that said, it's still not one of the worst comic books ever made, there's definitely far worse stuff out there, compared to something like Marville, Unfunnies or Chuck Austen's... anything this comic is pretty inoffensive and forgettable.
>>
It looks like shit and the author+writer defended it's shit look by pretending people were only mad because Squirrel Girl isn't attractive.

But does that really make it one of the worst comic books of all time? Especially when that's a piece of information most people who read this aren't aware of anyway?

>the art is... amateurish at best, downright lazy at worst

I consider it offensively bad and it's even worse that there's an editor who approves this garbage.
>>
>>78595820
>compared to something like Marville, Unfunnies or Chuck Austen's...
Because none of those are currently being published or being hyped to hell by "pop culture news" sites. I mean, everyone agrees that Marville and Unfunnies are horrible. There's really no reason to talk about those much lately. It might not be the worst of all time, but it is some of the worst being currently published.
>>
>>78596103
You asked why /co/ hates it, and I'm going to bet most posters here who talk about the comic know that fact.
>>
>>78595820
Because it gets unwarranted accolades for being some vague nebulous form of "groundbreaking" comic.
>>
We hate it because of how overhyped it is. CBR just said it's the 5th best comic of this year. Every site praises it with reviews. Even the fuckers at That Guy with the Glasses keep plugging this book.

Probably because a lot of people on /co/ have trouble compartmentalizing? It came along around the time certain things started getting tense, and it got lumped in with a lot of things /co/ likes to hate. Still not a good comic overall though.

Anyway I prefer the other frumpy redhead Erica drew.

Yep. It's like how people just sortof know when something is "cool" or not. All the "authorities" on comics are bending over backwards to tell us how great this arguably-less-than-average comic is. The writer (whom I used to like), and the artist responding to criticism in such a wholly dismissive, condescending tone only makes things worse.

It is not.

It's at best, webcomic tier humor. But the book is hyped as fuck because both Ryan and Erica have friends in the industry and they are not 'professionals' yet so 'journalists' are not able to smear their name to get a few clickbaits.

It's one of the most hackneyed, poorly paced, and flat comics I have ever read. I've been more entertained and impressed by goddamned Chick Tracts and Uwe Boll movies than USG. One of the biggest reasons I hate the book is because I really liked Squirrel Girl before this came out, and was really excited about the early rumblings of her getting an ongoing solo series. Then the book actually got released, and I finally realized that this is some Monkey's Paw bullshit.

I expect a lot of people are in a similar boat.

I won't mind it as much if it wasn't for the fact that outside /co/ people are praising it as the greatest comic of our generation (Well, maybe that's an exaggeration but it really gets annoying that this gets recognition over a lot of more well deserving books)

Nobody says it is, but it's still a godawful book that rightfully deserves the hate it gets. It doesn't help the majority of Marvel books aren't much better, either. In a way, it embodies everything wrong about ANAD.

/co/ doesn't look for comics. Why do you think we're so obsessed with the two biggest publishers and the biggest genre? Why do you think we're so obsessed with what the major websites (who are also obsessed with two publishers and one genre) say about this comic? The small stuff is beneath our notice. We're only casuals when it comes to the medium of comics, and we're just using comics to kill time between the next live action episode or the next live action movie. We need stuff spoonfed to us because we don't have enough interest to go out and look for things on our own. Well, we don't like the taste of this spoon, and now it's time to throw a temper tantrum.

it misses the point of Squirrel Girl, which is that she's a goofy character who somehow manages to achieve major victories.

instead, it's all lame girl power stuff flavored with squirrel. she doesn't have any flaws and is convinced of how great she is, so when she beats galactus it's stupid instead of funny.

It doesn't matter there is worse. This is bad in a very grating way and current so people talk about it. People don't talk about Marville often as it is old and no other work references it. Squirrel girl was a liked character before and still in other things, this is going to stick to her for a while but eventually no one will really care outside the rare thread or when someone goes "remember that horrible run she had?"

This book is highly praised despite bland, mediocre writing and webcomic tier art, we generally expect a bit more quality out of people that's why we hate guys like ramos.

I think it's the brow-beating that pisses people off. Like, people dump shit on Rob Leifield, but he never turned around and told the broader internet that the world just wasn't ready for his morally superior ideals. He can't draw feet, but he doesn't lord it over you like that's your shortcoming.

Squirrel Girl's artist can't draw very well either - pic related, you can't tell at a glance whether you're looking at the back or front of the character. But she turned around and complained that everyone was being sexist.

And before you act like ONLY feminism brow-beating pisses people off, stop and ask yourself why 4chan dumps so much shit on Dobson. He does the exact same thing and gets the exact same hate.

I don't understand why people are getting mad that a shitty book is getting praise that it doesn't deserve as if this is the first time something like this has happened.

I don't understand why people enjoy circlejerking about how much they dislike they book because that's really all the squirrel girl threads are.

I don't understand why people care that some hack that only got her job because she knows the right people is shrugging off any and all criticism about her book because this isn't new and people like this do things like this all the time.

I do understand why people want to continue to talk about how terrible the book is knowing no criticism is going to change it and knowing that it's not even going to be taken seriously because the people working on this book only want to hear good things.

I never claimed or implied I see SG threads all the time. I did imply that all the SG threads are people circlejerking about how much they hate the book.

What I am confused about is why some people act like the bullshit going on with this book is something new. Something they've never experienced before.
What really confuses me is why these same people can't just be happy that the book is doing poorly and hope SG shows up in other books without this writer's involvement.

So nothing in your post was helpful. I'm still confused and it looks like you are too.

Sure, but Anita Sarkeesian has been nominated highly in "women of the year" lists for a few years, and it's not because Anita is a quality... anything. Agree with her or not, speaking-wise she's as exciting as a dead squirrel by the road, her research is sometimes verbatim quotes from Wikipedia, and a lot of times she seems really confused about the games she'll describe. Still woman of the year because of the message she's preaching.

And Squirrel Girl preached that message. The misogyny thing, and that's been in vogue. I don't think you have to be talented to get in those "best" lists if you're preaching a popular ideal that year.
>>
The right amount of media push and terrible content. Remember when Batgirl was the most hated book on /co/? Well it isn't nearly as bad or nearly pushed as hard as Squirrel Girl, so the second it rolled out, Batgirl suddenly didn't seem so bad. It's possible Gwenpool pushes this out and becomes All-New All-Different Public Enemy #1, but the art for that is somehow still better than Squirrel Girl's.

Nah dude, I really don't understand why anyone would get mad that some hack in the comic book industry of all things said something stupid or insulted them because they can't take criticism.
It's exactly why I don't understand why people still make Dobson threads or threads about whatever nobody said or did something stupid.

I can totally get not liking a book, being upset that it didn't meet your expectations, or whatever. But I don't understand how or why /co/ talks about these things so much. I mean this for everything and not just SG.

Because to me a lot of the things that people complain about on this board shouldn't be such big issues for someone that's been reading comics for more than five years (which I assume most people who come to /co/ for comics do) and they should definitely be able to realize that it's probably not going to be permanent.

So whatever you think I don't get I do get. I'm just not getting why people act like the things they are complaining about are new things that never happened before and why they aren't just happy the book is doing poorly and hope you see SG in better books. Y'know, something that happens pretty often when someone gets a shitty ongoing.

I think it's funny as hell that you asked me if I'm autistic when you're basically saying you just want to complain about something you dislike for the sake of complaining about it.

This isn't about Nathan. It's about Henderson. Her ideologies are hazardous as well as just childish. Shit.

>>78612951
A question you answered yourself, faggot. Do you like eating shit? Do you like getting shit on your hands? Would you watch someone take a shit? If no does that mean you like shit or hate shit?
>"Why do you hate shit /co/, I know it's shit but ayyy its shit ;))"

Literally your question.
>>
>>78613444
I asked why /co/ is so obsessed with it, not why they dislike it. Learn to read.

>Her ideologies are hazardous as well as just childish
I could say the same about Edmonson's ideologies, and it would mean about as much as when you said it,
>Nathan

This, plus femThor, Ms Muslimmarvel, gay Iceman, Black/Hispanic Spider-Man, etc makes me glad I stopped reading comics around 2013.

The only one that wasn't immediately offensively agenda-pushing to me was Falcon Cap, and maybe I have a special place in my heart for the 70's Captain America & Falcon comics. But even then, one of the first issue was EVIL REPUBLICANS killing """UNDOCUMENTED""" immigrants at the Mexican border, and I realized they got to Falcap too.

Why are you acting like minority characters being made for the sake of being minorities or to get minorities to read their books is a new thing for Marvel or DC?
Why are you acting as if "agenda" pushing is a new thing with these companies. Because if that's enough to make you quit comics you should have quit a long, long time ago.
>>
>>78613817
Minority characters being made isn't the problem, its that they're changing and replacing current characters (Yes Iceman, you've been around for 50 years, you've definitely been gay this whole time. Or is it only the past version that's gay, because going through a time portal made you crave dick).

>Because if that's enough to make you quit comics you should have quit a long, long time ago
>'makes me glad I stopped reading in 2013'

yeah all this new shit from 2015 made me stop reading back in 2013. Went back in time through the same portal Iceman did and now I crave dick, just like you
>>
>>78613898
Aside from Iceman what character did they change/replace?

And legacies of heroes being a different race or gender isn't a new thing. Do you not want any characters to pass on the torch or do you not want legacies to be too different from the previous?

This thread is so full of sjw it's ridiculous.

>"If you hate it why do you obsess over it."

The same reason why Jew's hate the holocaust. The same reason why feminist hate men. ITS NOT OBSESSION YIU FUCKWIT, ITS HATE. YOU HATE THAT THINGS EXISTANCE BECAUSE YOU HATE IT.


Hate =/= Obsession

>>78614173
Are you really implying you can't be obsessed with something you hate?
>>
>>78614233
I think he's saying the mere act of hating something isn't being obsessed. Like, sometimes you'd bring up something you hate but not all the bloody time.
>>
>>78614233
What I am implying is the answer. Hate alone us not obsession. You need hate or some other feeling to create an obsession. We are "obsessed" because we hate it's garbage. We make jokes about it, pick at it because it's garbage. It's cringe. If being obsessed means hating something and making light of it, let it be known it's because we hate it not because we have some secret fetish for it you nib.

>Don't get me wrong, it's bad, it's really fucking bad; the writing is unfunny and juvenile, and the art is... amateurish at best, downright lazy at worst.
I think you just gave all the reasons why a BAD COMIC BOOK can be a BAD COMIC BOOK. I'm sorry, I fail to see what your dilemma is.

>Remember when Batgirl was the most hated book on /co/?
Batgirl's still hated by /co/. That scene didn't disappear when the book came out.

Comic book nerds in a nutshell. If a book about their waifu is subpar, it's a Holocaust.

I don't need to have a counterpoint when the statement is a delusional blatant lie. /co/ not being obsessed with Squirrel Girl is hilariously wrong.

So what? This thread can be summed as the OP and people like you acknowledging something is bad but being annoyed by the criticism of it for some reason. Also, given the reasoning of "there's worse out there so it should be discussed more," then why don't you guys just go after people who still post Loss parodies/edits?

/co/mblr please kill yourself. You make this board a fucking laughing stock.

This board was laughing stock before tumblr was even a thing.

/co/ has been the laughing stock of 4chan for the last 4 years at the least.

Yes, comblr has been around longer than 4 years too.

Did you read the rest of the ongoing?
>>
>>78614587
Just for you, I just checked the archive of all thread of the last 7 days.

As far as I could find, there was exactly one thread about Squirrel girl (about her getting fifth place in the CBR list), with 2 replies. The only other thread that mentioned squirrel girl that I could find was about the CBR list, and there was an equal amount of hate towards Saga getting the #1 spot.

The hate has died down very much since it first launched, I only see storytimes of pain and like 1 thread a week complaining about this comic. Saying that /co/ is obsessed with Squirrel girl is blatantly false. While it's hated and people will mention it if there is good reason to, there isn't an eternal "Squirrel Girl Hate" general or something. That would be obsession.
>>
>>78614504
I'm asking why you're so obsessed with it, you fuckwit. Goddamn, it's like nobody here can read.
>>
It's not that it's a shit book with shit art and shit writing with shit creators behind it. It's the fact that it's all those things AND gets praised to high heaven by equally shit people on every fucking comic book site.
