Alright, here's the Faith (2016 miniseries) Storytime of Purgatory.First time using Opera, Appchan X, and the included dumper to storytime.
urg shit book.
>>82690156
All the exercise involved in superheroing makes her a healthy weight again right
Is there porn?
You'd get more (yous) if you posted Strong Female Protagonist, OP
>>82690242
She's psychic; very little physical exertion involved for her.
>>82690273
I'm not OP.
>>82687337
That's gonna be a thick series
>>82690288
Well shit
The one thing that bothers me about this is we don't really see her stuffing her face on a regular basis.
She doesn't eat enough to be as fat as she is; she should be ~170lbs tops. A friend of mine is like 5'4" and snacks almost constantly, but she's only like ~165lbs. Meanwhile faith over here is well over the 200lbs range. She's just fat for the sake of being a fat protagonist, without actually living the land-whale lifestyle of perpetual snacks and excessive meal proportions.
THICK
I think no one storytimed from that point on before.
>>82690373
>posting reaction images during a storytime
>>82690400
Unless you're doing the whole thing you're not going to need 250 images (probably not even if you did).
>>82690382
Faith's well past thick my friend, and not in a good way.
>>82690147
OK time to read though this
She seems a little overweight hope that line doesent snap
>>82690419
>Unless you're doing the whole thing
I'll storytiming the entire miniseries.
>>82690307
There's something about that panel that makes me read "Put the puppy down" in Arnold's voice.
I'll have to see if reading everything else in that voice makes it better or worse.
>>82690156
Alright definintly a little overweight remains to be seen just how much so although with psychic powers won't nesecarily lose weight unless her new life motivates her.
>>82690444
So four issues? Unless they're all 60 pages there'll be images to spare.
>>82690373
The argument they are trying to build is that they do not choose to be fat, they are just fat, but they claim to be as healthy as real people.
>>82690192
I'm liking this so far
>>82690567
Is it a plane?
Judging by its size, yeah, probably
>>82690201
>that shower curtain pattern
So is she a psychic or a magican
>>82690587
Worse.
She's probably a nuWho fan.
Despicable.
>>82690212
Wait was there something before this or are they skipping over the origin while referencing it at the same time.
>>82690535
>John Cena is your fucking ex
JESUS
Fucking hillarious
>>82690147
Wait, is that bitch sitting on multiple high voltage power lines?
Why isn't she a fried pulp of fat and heavy bones?
Stop posting this pig shit
>>82690373
I know some overweight people and they have so many extra meals it's ridiculous.
>You wonder why you're not losing any weight? We stopped by the pub for a pint in the sunshine and you ordered fish and chips and made everyone wait for you, now you're eating a bag of pork scratchings because we just passed the butchers and we only left the house after lunch an hour ago...
It never ends.
>>82690646
Thank god, I thought I was the only one who saw that.
>>82690658
(You)
>>82690219
Come on there's not that many journalist hero's Superman and Spiderman being 2 of the most popular comics characters just makes it seem like Theres a lot
Nobody's going to look up to her with that bulk though she just looked rather overweight before here she looks outright obese
>>82690681
Is she stopping the bullets with her fat?
>>82690641
>white shooters attacking "POC"
This is literally sjw the comics. I feel bad for modern comic artists who are being abused to make this sort of shit.
>>82690670
My god that "What--?" in the second panel.
Just the absolute apathetic look on the guy's face.
>Buddy gets slammed by flying filing cabinet.
>"Here we go again. Another freaking Monday."
>>82690689
Dude on the lower part of second panel has a reaction image potential.
>>82690700
>literally sjw the revived comic book company
ftfy
>>82690712
You can do it after this storytime.
>>82690232
Poor clickbait writers
>>82690535
Sidney isn't wrong.
>>82690689
>>82690681
>>82690670
Hahaha those fucking faces. This artist must be doing that on purpose, drawing her face as repulsively ugly as possible.
>>82690244
And here is where this comic takes a turn for the worse
Why the fuck did they even hire wyatt
>>82690261
>uh. What's the right answer
ok this line alone makes up for the previous page
>>82690722
That only proves how the numbers of sjws have multiplied. I'm afraid it is airbourne.
>>82690267
I like the idea of a hero who was once open about her identity having to come up with a whole new one
Wait a second she wasent wearing a fucking mask in her flight scene
>>82690834
>Why didn't you save us zephyr?
Close, Mr.Skeltal. It's Zepplin. Zepplin, sound it out.
>>82690535
In psychic body. He's akinny underage when not in Cena form.
>>82690867
>>82690868
Whohoo
>>82690853
Oh wait I just remembered that's exactly what Superman does I failed to realise her secret identity wore glasses
So yeah this is an interesting idea
>>82690878
Iirc, he reacted same way in Harbinger.
I love it.
>the sjw autist posting this fucking shit in this thread
>>82690147
I think Faith isHot
>>82690284
This comic has a lot of interesting ideas to explore and I'm terrified it's going to fuck them up
Mostly because these idiots auctualy thought it would be a good idea to have a lardarse hero
>>82690936
>>82690937
You are suffering, for interrupting this storytime using images.
>>82690296
Wait I'm starting to think the 10 actors named chris thing was not just random clickbait she came up with but the name Chris is auctualy her fetish.
>>82690337
The fucks obvs
>>82690337
Is that guy figure with cape based on someone? Design is familiar for some reason.
>>82690378
Lens flare and slightly odd warping on the fence aside that's a pretty nice explosion
Faith was the only likable character in Harbinger.
End of the Valiant miniseries that triggers this board.
Now broom your reaction images!
>>82690219
>>82690225
>Fattie wants the hot, athletic not fat guy
These people don't even find themselves attractive
>>82691165
Yep. One was rapist, other was turbocunt, other was Chad and fourth was slut but not really.
I love how Faith tries to join Unity and quits because team is full with edgelords.
>>82690553
But why would they lie to there readers like that
>>82690945
Faith was fat when Shooter created her 20 years ago.
>>82690614
She was a secondary character in some series or another. Presumably the origin is told there. I don't remember what series it was, though.
>>82691490
Harbinger. Parents died in car crash, she survives, starts reading comics, eating and watching Whedon/SF, gets power, wants to rescue cats from trees.
>>82690373
I weigh 140. Fattest person I know weighs more than me and eats less. I know you'd love for it to be all their fault so you can valiantly hate them, make asshole comments for the sake of their health, and so on. But that's not how it works.
>>82691193
>Wants
She was dating the closest thing this universe has to John Cena.
>>82691597
likely excuses fatty
>>82691221
Because they lie to themselves like that, what makes the readers so special?
>>82691597
>I weigh 140. Fattest person I know weighs more than me and eats less.
Post pics of yourself
>>82690462
>>82691597
Yes it is.
>>82691234
well nobody cares about 90s valiant so why would anybody know that
>>82691597
Glandular obesity is rare. Most obesity is lardballs stuffing tons of processed crap in their faces because they eat when they feel bad.
>>82690385
That was OK actually.
A lot better than the pandershit marvel puts out...
I was expecting Tumblr-pandering, and... it's exactly what I got really, but not nearly to the degree I expected. Still, the oh-so-quirky dialogue and various whedonisms make this a "pass".
>>82690646
>>82690667AND HIS NAME IS JOHN CENA!
>>82690662
Actually, eating more, smaller meals throughout the day increases your metabolism and can be beneficial in weight loss when combined with exercise.
You know, assuming that those smaller meals aren't loaded with carbs and fats.
>>82690713
>Save people's lives
>They get slick with you
Fuck all the way off
I don't know, I thought it was okay. Not great but not bad. The main character is likable enough although the fantasy bits do nothing for me.
>>82691128
@x are you okay there.
>>82690535
>trying to guilt trip him into helping her with the memory of a dead girl he barely knew
thats pretty shitty. Also the Renegades didn't save shit. Harada is still out their trying to save the world by taking it over
>>82691026
surprised he was able to find her neck
>>82687337
A bunch of people on /co/ who don't read Valiant got assblasted over it, and didn't read it, and the target audience didn't read it either.
Presumably it won't make it to 12 issues.
>>82690307

>>82690903
I should really thank that anon who did a whole Valiant storytime thing, because I at least have some idea what's going on thanks to him.
What if the artist just decided to make a comic about a fat character and it has nothing to do with pandering?
>>82692337
Facehuggers are supposed to go in the mouth
>>82691597

Shut up you fat fuck
>>82690959
I'm happy for her and Archer to have some normalcy but I'm worried she's not taking this seriously enough. She's already seen what happens when she slips up.

I think she found comfort in one other thing too.
>>82690288

God, she'd better not do that often, the tectonic plates are fragile you know
>tumblr gets triggered if characters are straight white fit males
>4chan gets triggered if characters aren't straight white thin males
As a creator, how do you win? Is it possible to make something without triggering people?
>>82694980
Fuck off tumblr
>>82688587
kek
>>82690553
This is just an outright lie and pisses me off. Why promote such an unhealthy life-style? A lot of people die every year from weight-related health complications! People are fat because they're depressed as shit and eat their lives away. Just like any drug addict.
>>82690201
>why would you rehearse improv?
Because improv is as much about feeling comfortable working with a group or a partner as it is being able to make up wacky shit on the fly, you dunce
So do they explain how she's fat?
Because her being fat and also physically active contradict each other. Also, do they explain how a fat person can beat fit people? Because that's also not possible.
>>82695000
But i'm asking an honest question. Is it really possible to not upset someone these days?
>>82695068
No, and you shouldn't care either way. Especially when it comes to SJWs and /pol/ since they are the ones actively trying to ban things they don'tlike
>>82694980
>>82695068
You really can't appeal to both. Pick an audience and roll with it.
Tumblr likes to be catered to. Pander to their weird fetishes and causes and they'll worship you.
4chan is probably harder to appeal to. If you try to pander to them they'll bitch about it, but if you don't pander to them they'll bitch about it. You just have to act like they don't exist.
>>82695061
>how a fat person can beat fit people
>>82695120
But i'm not talking about appealing to an audience, i'm just talking about making things. You know, creatively expressing yourself. Making things because you want to. That kind of stuff. Are all creators doomed to have a group of angry people against them no matter what they create?
>>82695159
Yes, and that's precisely why they shouldn't care
>heavy chick fantasizes about rescuing a hardbodied actor she could never possibly have
well, that part's realistic
>>82695159
Faith is pretty blatant SJW pandering.
The writer, the publishers, and the reviewers are trying to look progressive by supporting this creation when in reality there's nothing about this that deserves to be praised.
>>82694980
>>82695068
>don't pander to anyone
>design your product as you see fit
>ignore attempts to manufacture controversy
are you satisfied now mr fishhook
>>82691597
>Fattest person I know weighs more than me and eats less.
That's not how physics work, retard. The weight has to come from somewhere.
For the people spewing the 'triggered' meme:
This shit ain't funny. That character is the equivalent of a drug using superhero. People actually die from being too fat. It is estimated that 300,000 people die in the US from this problem. So, what the fuck people? You're glamourizing a dangerous life-style for the sake of pandering. Imagine if she was anorexic. The landwhales would flip their shit. So why indulge in this fucked up, silly fantasy that being fat is okay and normal - even healthy?
This is insulting to any person struggling with weight problems.
This shit is fucked-up.
>>82695213
>300,000 people every year
So the last 3 years cost the US as much as the Civil War in terms of population(not doing the percentages, though I'd bet it wouldn't take more than 15 years to reach them)
>>82695138
>Bud Spencer, a fucking giant of a man.
>1,92 m tall
>Active as fuck
>Fat
>>82695120
>>82695159
>>82694980
That's why you make the main character a brown female and let her fuck everyone in the show.
both sides win.
>>82690662
>stopped by the pub for a pint
Honestly I'm fatter because of pints than food. Been calorie counting the last week or so and jesus do I drink a lot more beer than I thought. Three fucking IPAs is like 900 calories.
>>82695196
This is pretty much the only way to create something of value
>>82695279
>According to the National Institutes of Health, obesity and overweight together are the second leading cause of preventable death in the United States, close behind tobacco use (3). An estimated 300,000 deaths per year are due to the obesity epidemic (57).

>>82694571
She can fly, anon
>>82690288
Unless her superheroing consists entirely of getting cats out of trees and bribing robbers with Hostess fruit pies (which she carried whole boxes of even before she got powers), it should still be more than zero.
She's so far past "real women have curves" that she should be losing SOME weight from stress alone.
>>82691175
Pretty inoffensive.
>>82688659
She's too thin for the character now.
>>82695280
I just wanted to post Bud before he croaks tebehe
He was also an Olympic swimmer and professional polo player, so yeah, pretty active. Europe's own Andre the Giant, only more charismatic
>>82695193
But is there really any evidence of that?
>>82695213
Yeah, but why should the creator censor themselves because they might hurt someone's feelings? This is the exact same logic SJWs use when you ask them why something like rape shouldn't happen in comics, or when you ask them why you should force diversity into comics.
>>82695370
Bud Spencer and Terrance Hill movies were on all the time in my country. I don't know much about them now, but I used to watch their movies when I was a kid.
>>82695373
>But is there really any evidence of that?
The product. You don't need a public statement to know that something is built entirely to sell to a specific type of person.
Steven Universe panders, but at least that has some soul. You can tell that Rebecca Sugar or whatever actually crafted that product and put a little bit of her soul into it.
Faith is just a book written to sell to fat people because it's a current fad.
>>82695426
I guess you're European too, since they're immensely popular here with the 80-90 generation. And with our parents, obviously.
>>82695061
>So do they explain how she's fat?
It's more implied in Harbringer but it's also hinted here, basically her parents died at a young age and her doting grandmother allowed her to indulge in a life of excess and escapism (sound familiar?) resulting in her becoming what I can only assume is thoroughly set in her diet and exercise habits.
She only recently acquired her powers and as someone already said their use is not exactly a calorie burning thing, more mental strain
>Also, do they explain how a fat person can beat fit people? Because that's also not possible.
If the person had impossible telekinetic abilities allowing them to lift/nullify their own mass that would about answer that
>>82695484
This is the only Valiant comic I don't read. Can't say I'm missing anything here either. But I'm fine with them playing the SJW crowd if it means we get more cool shit like Divinity.
>>82695427
So does pandering just mean "something I don't like"? It seems to me like the creator just wanted to make a comic about a fat superhero.
>>82695484
So they created the fat landwhale SJW's wet dream as a superhero. She could literally get even fatter and that wouldn't impair her ability to fight crime.
>>82695373
>This is the exact same logic SJWs use when you ask them why something like rape shouldn't happen in comics, or when you ask them why you should force diversity into comics.
No. It fucking isn't. No one is trying to make 'rape' normal. It's not natural, there's no 'rapist life-style'. But when you start to pander to people that are actually deluded, saying 'it's ok to be like that' - it's akin to giving them a rope to commit suicide. This shit is awful: imagine you have a kid that's turning fat and can't even run anymore. You're trying to teach it good eating habits but the world around him keeps telling that it's ok to loose your breath after going up a flight of stairs. I think this is perverse and it should be stopped.
And about the diversity bit: being a fat person is as diverse as being a sick person. Obesity is not an inherit characteristic of a human being.
>>82690650
what is grounding? but i think you might close a circuit if you touch multiple lines at once so yeah this is stupid.
>>82695476
I'm actually Brazilian. They were huge here because a famous comedy group were huge fans of Bud Spencer and Terrance Hill and were hugely influenced by their movies. There were even a cross-over episobe between them.
the amount of samefaggotry in this thread is astounding.
>>82695547
>So they created the fat landwhale SJW's wet dream as a superhero
Well yes, but as the anon who was storytiming this hinted Valiant did not just now show up, all of this material was made before most people interested in the recent SJW stuff could walk. So it's nothing new.
Valiant are obviously capitalizing on the recent atmosphere of things though.
>>82695602
>No one is trying to make 'rape' normal.
Again, this is the "normalizing sexism and racism" thing that they say, except you're just replacing "sexism and racism" with "fat". It's just a comic book. It's not real. Calm down.
>>82695602
Well put.
>>82695700
Being fat is the exact same of being sexist and racist. It's born from bad habits that you pick up or was taught to. The only actual difference is that you can die from being fat.
I won't calm down. This is injust and harmful to people.
>>82690373
>anyone ever wants to see a fictional character eat meals in real time.
why not show her taking shits? or just 2 pages of sleeping so we really feel those 6-10 hours.
it's just shit storytelling is why. no one wants to read a comic where batman has to stop ever few pages and eat a few lbs of chicken and veggies to maintain his physique.
>>82695700
someone raping in a comic and being fat in a comic is different than the sympathetic protagonist who is totally okay and in the right performing glorified rape/being glorified fat, imho tbqh famille
having a fat protagonist isn't an issue at all, it's that the whole point is to make being fat seem perfectly acceptable and healthy
I'd have scruples with a sympathetic protagonist partaking in glorified alcoholism, chain smoking or anorexia, too - in the vast majority of cases, such things come across as a bad habit of the character's, or are used in a comedic capacity; the author isn't trying to convince the reader that it's fine, healthy and even popular to starve yourself or chain smoke
>>82695949
>>82695956
So if racism and sexism killed people (which it kinda does but lets pretend it doesn't), you'd support censorship of sexism and racism in comics?
>>82695974
nah brah, you didn't read my text and are coming across even more like a baity shitposter
I welcome sexism and racism as character traits up to the point where it feels like the author is trying to convince me to become sexist and racist
>Can't have good discussions about Valiant anymore because of both Faith series and the character
It was fun while it lasted.
>>82695974
No, you idiot. He's not talking about censorship. Read again. He said that the problem is how being a fucking landwhale is depicted as normal and healthy when it's fucking not. Today, a character that smokes that is not told constantly of how disgusting and unhealthy his habit is won't work. Why give something that kills so many a free pass?
>>82690330
>smegheads
Aaaaaand, Red Dwarf is ruined.
>>82690288
Shouldn't psychic powers burn calories?
