How are you coping with the death of storytelling? Where people literally can't handle writing dialogue for a villain you're supposed to hate and have to insert immersion shattering 4th wall breaking "jokes"
That the bad guy's actions and words would clearly explain that he is a bad guy and thus you should condemn them is no longer an appropriate option.
>it's a "Marvel is literally the only comic publisher that exists" thread
Cool.
Because when they do end up writing the bad guy's dialogue out we end up with endless "Red Skull was right" threads.
>>83686617
>Marvel
>>83686636
Isn't that a flaw of the writer then?
A good writer is able to get their message across through their paneling and their dialogue choices.
Even a mediocre writer can do the same by just making everything over the top.
It's a truly bad writer who is so poor with how they deliver their message that it ends up making people believe the opposite.
>>83686617
Not OP but for me, I grew up loving Marvel.
I don't mind sjw stuff...Marvel has always been on a liberal bend but nowadays instead of telling they just scream it.
And if you disagree? Fuck you, HITLER.
>>83686650
Alright, but that's a completely difference thing there, that's inserting real life politics in your comic books, no matter how cheesy you think it is, it still follows story structure, allowing you to know what's happening, unlike OP's example.
>>83686697
>And if you disagree? Fuck you, HITLER.

>How are you coping with the death of storytelling?
Media has always been used as a platform for expressing one's views. Literally since the idea of fiction came about, people have used it to get a point across.
Get over it, and shut the fuck up. Nobody is forcing you to read this stuff. Fuckin' crybaby.
>>83686636
Also this. You can't have compelling villains anymore, because edgelord readers will immediately side with them.
Would you prefer if storytelling stayed exactly the same as last decade, or the decade before it, while the rest of human expression actually reflected modern human behavior? Because that's how a tradition dies. Stories must reflect the times they're made in. We scream at each other, so our stories scream at us too.
>>83686712
I'm even a liberal and I think Red Skull has a valid point here.
I swear to god, between this page and the Red Skull page I don't know which triggers /pol/tards more.
>>83686650
Far less retarded than say some Asgard local knowing the matters of MRA/Casual racism, & having opinions on Israel's right to defend itself.
>>83686778
That's literally the entire point you fuckwit. Do you think fascists get in to power by NOT playing off of valid fears?
>>83686716
You're missing the point I'm trying to make. I don't have a problem with the view being expressed in that comic. I have a problem with how they're being delivered because they lack any sort of finesse or art to them. The idea that any words should be considered "too taboo" to read is insane.
Like we're going back to the days where copies of Huckleberry Finn were removed because they had the word nigger in them.
>>83686760
I do not agree. I believe storytelling as a medium is not assisted by suddenly feelings subjects are too taboo to talk up without BIG BLACK BOXES TELLING YOU HOW BAD THEY ARE.
It'd be like watching a documentary on the holocaust but then when they want to show you accounts of the subject you just get a blank screen saying "SOME PRETTY AWFUL STUFF WE AREN'T COMFORTABLE SHOWING"
>>83686816
Thats...literally how any politician ever wins you fucking mouth breather.
What do you think, people running for office just say "Everything's fine, don't change a thing!"?
>>83686792
/pol/tards are just as easy to trigger as SJWs
Just take whatever you would say to trigger a SJW and say the opposite
>>83686592
Wait, is this not a shop? Holy fuck.
>>83686896
>I have a problem with how they're being delivered because they lack any sort of finesse or art to them.
Bullshit. If that were the case, you would've specified that in the beginning. Either you're yet another asshole who will not stop whining about DA SJWS IS TAKING A WAY MUH COMICS, or you suck at articulating your thoughts. Either way, you're an annoying little faggot who needs to shut up and kill yourself.
>>83687076
He might be bad at articulating his thoughts, but it's undeniable that this is an issue with comic books right now
>>83687076
Yeah this, also kill all whites and support the refugees
>>83686592
I cope by not reading those shitty comics. People act like the majority of comics do nothing but spout sjw nonsense like this in idiotic ways like this.
Christ how manu fucking threads has this dumb page on a comic utterly reviled and already cancelled gonna get posted as if its the hottest thing oing right now.
Cooe by just reading other shit you fucking oversensitive faggot.
>>83687156
I don't fuckin' care. Bad writing and gimmicks have been a thing in fiction since the birth of made up stories. I'm sick and tired of hearing the lot of you retarded sacks of rat filth bitching about it 24/7, nonstop. If you dislike a book/series, throw it against the wall and move on to something you enjoy, like a sane person would. Whatever the main issue with the medium is, it will pass in time like all the other questionable trends. Pouches went away eventually, so will this.
Again, get over it, and shut the fuck up.
>>83687230
>>83687242
Why are you so invested in wanting discussion about this to stop?
Why do you feel the need to try and quash it rather than just ignore it like you're telling us to do about said comics?

Because it's annoying as fuck, and NEVER stops. That is all anyone does on this damn site anymore, is bitch about Tumblr.SJWs/whatever.
>Why do you feel the need to try and quash it rather than just ignore it like you're telling us to do about said comics?
Because I cannot discuss anything I like anymore since idiots like you will seek out anything you think is progressive and start a huge shitstorm about it.
>You're being hypocritical.
Maybe I am, but again, I don't fuckin' care. You're an annoying faggot, and you need to shut your damn hole until you can make something worthwhile come out of it.
>>83687434

No, seriously, the shit's on topic, and as long as that holds true, mouthbreathing little wankstains who want to dictate what a fella can or can not talk about can suck my fucking dick and stroke my fucking balls.
Kys.
>>83687026
Wait... What. This was the actual comic page? I thought this just a shop the entire time.
>>83686716
Inherently, there's nothing wrong with readers sympathizing with the villains. Good villains can have that effect, especially when the point is that they're charismatic populists. You had this with Amon, in Legend of Korra. He sold a story everyone wanted to hear, including the "all men rape" Tumblr crowd. I don't know if you've had a look at Tumblr while that season was running, but pretty much all the permanently offended tumblrina's were siding with Amon.
And yeah, Amon put their whole "equal results" approach to social justice into practice. But Amon was also revealed to be a hypocrite who had ulterior motives.
Gul Dukat from DS9 is also an example of a charismatic villain. He's loyal to his people, seems much more accepting of others than what is the norm for his society, and so on. Like Amon, there are times he makes a lot of sense, and seems like he might get redemption and move towards the lighter side of the spectrum. But he's also a controlling maniac, and is probably only not a rapist because he's just such a manipulative bastard. Like Amon, he crosses the line from charismatic champion into crazy, self-serving cult leader territory.
But you know what sets those two apart from Red Skull? They both support fantasy causes, and their reasoning is eventually shown to be false. For Red Skull they basically lift a real life opinion they don't agree with, and shoehorn it into a villain role. And any point the writer might make about how he's really just a cult leader, like the others mentioned, is cut short by that. Because all that does is insult the genuine concerns real life people already have. If you make him say communist shit instead, you'd be seeing reposts on Reddit about how he's actually right, and Captain America is just a jingoist, nationalist bully.
In short: No, it's you who is the edgelord.
>>83686592

Part of it has to do with white men having such a grip over popular culture that the slight uptick in women and minorities having major roles in popular culture as some kind of attack on them personally. The percentage is pretty fucking small, but it's still noticeable by comparison.
>>83687285
Because constant threads moaning and mewing about the horrid woebegotten era comics have come to are fucking tiresome. This stupid page has been bitched about a hundred fucking times. So if you feel the need to continue crying about how it ruined everything I'll feel free to wander in here and call you a faggot for doing so.

That's the literal platform of any conservative group.
>>83687573
I don't know, but it's definitely the point that he's just taking shit people in real life already agree with, and he doesn't. There's nothing particularly smart about just taking people you dislike in real life, and making them the villains in your wish fulfillment comic. Especially because these guys sure as shit haven't strapped bombs to themselves, as they do in the comic. That's basically just propaganda. In fact, you could replace what he says with any other ideology, and nothing changes. Just make Red Skull a muslim, and you'll have complaints about wrongful representation within no time, no matter if you lift his speech directly from Anjem Choudary.
>>83687614
I mention Tumblr literally twice. Because the people who sided with a cartoon villain professed their support for him on that, specific site.
But it figures you mongs who just want to see your own political opinion reflected back at you in fiction couldn't form a coherent argument if your life depended on it.
>>83687886
Make Red Skull a Muslim, and he's an ISIS recruiter
>>83687718
I agree with that Devin Farci one. The sheer amount of anger over what looks to be an unfunny comedy is absurd. All y'all need to calm the fuck down.
>>83687763
Frankly, I blame Bill Murray. Dude just has to be soooo picky about his projects, they decided to just say fuck it and reboot the franchise. And now Akroyd is dead, so that's especially never fucking happening.
>>83687886

I don't care. Tired of hearing about Tumblr all the fucking time. If you cannot make your point without mentioning or referencing Tumblr, you can just go right ahead and not post.

>>83686592

You should try doing it sometime
>>83687919
Well, yeah. It would be pretty fitting, given that Captain America started out as a propaganda tool who punched Hitler's lights out, and then just left for some reason instead of ending the war then and there.
But where ISIS is a genocidal foreign regime at war with the entire world, the people he's pointing his arrows at are... well, regular people. And saying "if you don't agree with my politics you're a literal suicide bomber bamboozled by smarter men to do their dirty work", you're not really writing a smart villain or making smart commentary. And the most likely response will be "right back at ya, commie".
>>83687996
Then maybe just stop moaning and piss off. I'm trying to make a point, here. And if you can't read a normal post without getting triggered at the mention of one of the most popular websites on the internet, especially for discussing pop culture, you can find some hugbox to be stupid in.
And the point is, you bumblecuck, that while people are moaning about right wingers agreeing with Red Skull, the literal polar opposite of what they represent agreed with another cartoon villain. Of course, the difference is that people agree with Red Skull because he's just saying shit they already believed, while people sided with Amon because they legitimately bought into the arguments of a literal cartoon villain.

This is the entire problem right here, that you can't handle reading opinions you disagree with without screaming SHUT THE FUCK UP FUCKING CRYBABY SHUT UP.
So if a story has an actual villain in it who does bad things, you can't deal with it and start yelling SHUT THE FUCK UP FUCKING CRYBABY SHUT UP at your screen.
You literally need to grow the fuck up and learn to deal with things in the world that you don't like without shouting SHUT THE FUCK UP like a huge overgrown baby
>>83688210
Meh, people give it a rough deal, but compared to the other Trek films, I'd say they're massively overreacting. And I certainly prefer it over some of the TNG films. Insurrection is still painful to watch.

You're really not. You think you are, but all you're doing is whining, and it comes across like you're new to comics and aren't aware that this kind of stuff happens all the time.

The irony here is that you're doing exactly what you accusing me of. You can't even consider the idea that you're being an obnoxious prick. At this point it doesn't matter what you're trying to say, you never stop saying it. Very loudly and with disturbing frequency.
>>83688412
>She definitely wasn't the more popular of the candidates though. She just knows how to play the game a lot better.
I'm willing to bet that's exactly why she's less popular. Bernouts and Drumpfers are the people who are tired of the game being played either way.

When modern liberals try to write heroes and villains
- they write heroes as irrational angry narcissists, because modern liberals are irrational angry narcissists
- they write villains as reasonable people who make rational arguments for their views, because the modern liberal definition of "villain" is "those fucking shitty goddam fucking assholes fuck who makes rational arguments for their views, shut the fuck up delete your account"
>>83688481
Oh please, you haven't made a single argument in this entire discussion, and got triggered from me mentioning Tumblr. You're the one who's whining, and you're whining about me using a word that upsets you.
You seem to be the exact embodiment of the culture of permanent offense. The fact that you're upset is the only thing you need to feel like you're in the right.
Just fuck off to Reddit or something so you can hang out in some heavily moderated sub and receive downvote anything you don't like.

>>83688634
Ghostbusters is a lot of people in the 30 y.o. demographic's favorite film of all time. It died off for a long time, so it's not looked at as a phenomenon the way, like, Batman is...but it's always been a huge deal to a lot of nerddom, just in a quiet and subdued way until the remake came along.
>>83687718
Post it.
>>83687683
What it mostly has to do with is that white men are being personally attacked by women and minorities
They literally can't just write or create their own movies or characters and are only happy when they take something away from white men
And then if white men shrug and say fuck it and create their own new thing then the women and minorities start bitching and whinging for a piece of that
And then if the white men have the gall to like a female or minority character the dykes hate it and have to make the character a white man hating miserable dyke
>>83688634
Here's the thing, James said flat out why he thought the new one looks like shit and said he would not review it or acknowledge it, and that we should vote with our wallet and stop funding these awful remakes. That's all he said. Then SJWs and /co/ went berserk about what a sexist manbaby he is and how he hates womyn.
>>83687718
I think there's a lot of truth to this
I mean, remember the pictures of the nughostbusters visited the hospital and that one guy made that copypasta that got posted to hell
the one about the sick dying 9 year old who wanted to see the original cast so badly even though the movies came out 30 years ago
That shit was purely anger based upon the fact that it was new and not the original and filled with women
I'm not saying the ghostbusters movie will be good, but I do think that there's a lot of unwarranted hate
>>83686592
You read capeshit, stop pretending like you were ever interested in good storytelling
>>83688858
OK /co/mblr. Naturally things can't be good and bad on their own merits and there's always a sexist and racist agenda behind it all.
>>83688858

he wasn't even that autistic in the video. It was clear he made it to address his fans who were asking for his thoughts about the new Ghostbusters flick. He was pretty calm and collected. But hey, he's your typical white male nerd stereotype so let's attack his weak ass
>>83688886
But if you read that copypasta, and you weren't an idiot, you'd be able to see that the point of view from that 9 year old was completely unrealistic
What 9 year old is going to complain about the ghost busters not being the originals from the 80s?
Especially when jank ripoffs of childhood characters charge 10 dollars up and down times square just to take a picture
That was even before the trailers were out
>>83687076
We got what he was saying it's just you that didnt.
>>83688858
If I was a sick child and wanted to meet the ghostbusters, it would have to be the original cast, how the fuck would I know about this new movie if I was in and out of the hospital, let alone the fact that the movie isn't even out?
>>83686592
You all know this book was cancelled after 7 issues, yes?
>>83688634
I can see the point in both sides of the coin, really. I'm in the same boat: I rejected reboots a long time ago. When something says "reboot", I automatically assume it's a brand name cash-in with only a tenuous relation to the original product. I don't really care what they do, because I don't see it as part of the original product, and studio's have been doing it for ages. I mean, I can't really get pissed off at the RoboCop reboot when the fucker had his own saturday morning cartoon, now can I?
But at the same time just saying "it's shit" seems to be taboo, and is immediately represented as the opinion of a lonely, virgin (and WHITE MALE) nerd with nothing better to do in life. And I'm sorry, but it's people's goddamn right to moan and bitch about this shit for as much as they want. No-one got upset, for instance, about people pointing out that RoboCop's direct-to-video sequals were absolute shit that didn't mirror the original classic.
At the end of the day "it sucks" is a legitimate opinion about any piece of media. And if you can motivate it, it only becomes more legitimate. What people are doing is pre-empting the discussion and saying that people are basically not allowed to motivate why they think it sucks.
Sure, the people who claim it's ruining their childhood are idiots. But a reviewer saying he isn't going to review a movie that he knows he isn't going to enjoy is just doing his fucking job as he sees fit.
>>83688906

I say /tv/, but really I could say literally any board because it's obvious you don't post here often

Are you fucking retarded
>>83688831
>They literally can't just write or create their own movies or characters and are only happy when they take something away from white men
Because they're tired of hearing "Oh, you'll get your turn to make your own work eventually" like they have for decades.
And basing works off of established properties is literally the only way to get things made nowadays unless you're an established auteur. Original works will not get funded. And then the companies wont' make any original female works because they aren't "demographically broad" enough.
It's a self-perpetuating circle with no end, and since women and minorities have to play by an established set of "playing fair" rules or they get branded as enemies, it's the perfect setup for them to never actually get anything made. But at least they're playing by the rules that other people established for them, that makes it totally okay that they'll never get anything mainstream made.

I'd be more worried about this if the book hadn't been cancelled. It turns out that the books people actually want to read mostly still feature
1. storytelling, and
2. white men
The actually funny thing about Angela is that when it got cancelled, SJWs blamed men for not supporting it.
Becaues not only do they feel entitled to hate men, they feel entitled to have men support their hatred, by buying the comics they put it in.
>>83688858
>sick dying 9 year old who wanted to see the original cast so badly even though the movies came out 30 years ago
You do realize parents show Ghostbusters to their kids all the time, right?
It's, like, an American classic. It's probably passed on to younger generations almost as consistently as shit like Star Wars and Lion King. It reruns on cable a lot too.
>>83688961
>>83688984
How would a 9 year old even know about the ghost busters, is the real question
Have you interacted with children? Like ever?
They cannot even figure out how vhs tapes work
They barely recognize characters from the 90s, let alone the 80s
The ghostbusters visited that hospital as a promotional stunt
Nobody asked them to be there, it was just on good will and good marketing
>>83688858
>>83688949
So you're telling me kids today don't know anything from the original Star Wars because they were made decades ago?
>>83686592
>>That the bad guy's actions and words would clearly explain that he is a bad guy and thus you should condemn them is no longer an appropriate option.
Wait, so you think that's not being lazy? You need the bad guy to walk around in all black covered in skulls and a hate that says BAD GUY?
Jokes don't make the writing bad, it's the placement and context that matter
>>83689061
>good marketing
>good
>>83688858
I think you're missing the point.
It might not have been put very eloquently, to say the least, but that hospital visit was a hugely dishonest PR move, and it's kind of disgusting.
The crux is that the movie isn't even out yet. No-one has seen it, and no-one has any real bond with the characters. So to go the children's hospital in costume isn't an act of charity. It's a PR stunt. And PR stunts posing as charity are fucking horrible.
If they'd done it after the movie was out, fine. Everyone understands that, just the same as no-one is laying into that millionaire who dresses up as Batman and visits sick kids. But to pretend that they went there for any other reason than to shill their shitty movie is just a lie.
>>83688989
>Because they're tired of hearing "Oh, you'll get your turn to make your own work eventually" like they have for decades.
Nobody has ever told anyone there were turns.
If you want to make something, you make it. Right now, in the present. That's never not been how it works.
I don't know who told you there were turns or why you believed them. Steven Spielberg didn't sit in a studio lobby for 20 years with a pile of finished scripts waiting for his meeting, man. The very concept doesn't even make sense.
>>83689034
>You do realize parents show Ghostbusters to their kids all the time, right?
No they don't, they really don't
Most parents understand that they cannot force their kids to like all the same things that they did when they were younger
>>83688989
>"Oh, you'll get your own turn eventually"
Who the fuck says this? Are you telling me all these movies with female leads have never existed and only ape up already eatablish franchises?
>>83688949
Not that anon, but when I was 9, I was addicted to Nick at Nite, and marathon-ed Taxi and I Love Lucy a lot. There are kids that, their favorite books are by CS Lewis or J. R. R. Tolkien.
So, it's not TOO unbelievable that there could, conceivably, be nine year olds now that like a movie from the 80s.
And even if there weren't, you care way too much about a shitty little copypasta.

That's the fucking point, you idiot. It's not charity when you're doing it for your own benefit. It's just a bunch of people in costume showing up at a hospital, which puts them on the same level as those fursuiters who pull that shit. Except those fursuiters aren't trying to plug their movie, and actually look like shit the kids might give a damn about.
As for the rest, have you heard about these little things called "TV" and "parents"? I don't know about you, but I grew up on media that was decades older than I was.
>>83689091
Is this the part where you tell me that women have the exact same opportunities as men and every story about them being given less funding or denied jobs was part of laziness?
Hell, look at the scene now. Any guy who makes a mildly successful indie movie gets Superhero Project #476 thrown at them, women get nothing unless it's a "women character" and then they shit on because it's discrimination against men who want that project.

4chan was never good, but it was never intolerable as it is now. It was at one point possible to talk about stuff without someone demanding you take sides in some manufactured Internet turf war that you don't fucking care about.

What the fuck does that matter? Do you think just because it's child they can't see old media? That a kid won't be planted to a tv if you provide them with an old kids show because TVs are older than them? That is some stupid way to deflect the argument.

Eh, there hasn't really been any storytelling in comics since Alan Moore quit and became a full-time wizard.
>>83689328
I think because children have access to a larger pool of current media, on their phones tablets computers or televisions

Are you out of the US? Because they just aired Ghostbusters 2 a month ago for some Chris Hardwick special bullshit. They do it every Halloween without fial too, for example.

Nigger, you're on the comics and cartoons board. Where people talk about comics and cartoons. And your entire complaint is that people are talking about bad writing in comics and cartoons IN THE THREAD ABOUT BAD WRITING IN COMICS AND CARTOONS.

Holy fuck I can't believe bad comics exist. This is the death of the medium. Never before have we ever had a bad comic, and now that this abomination showed up, it's all over.

You also can't even make a joke post without people screaming "BAIT" and accusing you of trying to shill or other things to that affect anymore which is really sad, 4chan as a whole is really just way more on edge than it used to be.
>>83689538
You'd sound like less of an idiot if you recognized that changes in the industry are going to be reflected on the board
Marvel started flogging Sjw shit hard, so the board started talking about Sjw shit. If you don't like it, get Marvel to stop flogging Sjw shit.

Fuck you. Ignoring the problem doesn't make it go way. You bunch of pathetic faggots will continue to loudly bitch about DA ENEMY. You need to know that this shit is not okay.
>Nigger, you're on the comics and cartoons board. Where people talk about comics and cartoons. And your entire complaint is that people are talking about bad writing in comics and cartoons IN THE THREAD ABOUT BAD WRITING IN COMICS AND CARTOONS.
But you're not talking about bad writing. You're yammering on about SJWs and how they're supposedly ruining comics. Like I said in the beginning, media has always been used as a platform for expressing one's views, and yes, often it leads to poor writing. But that's not what you're talking about. You're just using that topic as an excuse to bitch about Tumblr, just like every other fucking thread on this piece of shit website.
>>83689548
>asks for examples
>rejects examples when given
Nigger, your dumb, manufactured YouTube show is just as anecdotal. And unless you can show some real statistics detailing children's familiarity with media, with a good sample size, everything is.
You're not making any fucking sense. Like I said, you're trying to make the point that children are physically incapable of consuming media older than they are. Which is bullshit. So just take your dumb shit and fuck off, because I don't even recall what point you were originally trying to make before you started arguing for age-based media metaphysics.

You're right. And yet the OP is still bitching about it.
Further, if storytelling were really dead, he'd be able to muster an example from a book that is even being published.

Pic related. Go back and read my posts. You're basically just putting up a strawman, here. I haven't mentioned SJW's as "DA ENEMY" once. Not. Once.
I was pointing out shitty writing, and why that writing was shitty, and that triggered you. You're the one who's pretending he's fighting some imaginary enemy in some sort of valiant crusade for your purely objective value system.
>You're just using that topic as an excuse to bitch about Tumblr
I explained this long ago, you dumb fuck. I have used the word "tumblr" TWICE. And it was to illustrate how the same shit that you're moaning about that's happening with Red Skull, happened with other people with the polar opposite values of the people who agree with Red Skull. I actually went to Tumblr when LoK was airing, and I read the Tumblrs of the people saying this. No fucking scapegoating, or pointing to a nebulous enemy.
This is also the THIRD fucking time I'm explaining this, because your black ass can't read, apparently. You're being a fucking idiot.

>>83689705
You know, Jay Leno used to do this bit where he'd go out on the street and he'd ask people simple questions like "what's the current president's name?"
And then he'd air the ones who couldn't answer because they're stupid.
And those are the only ones he'd air, because those are the ones that're funny. Maybe he wasn't trying to deliberately create the impression that the general populace is more stupid on average than they actually are...but that's probably all someone like you would get out of it, because that's exactly what you've done by basing beliefs on something as obviously artificially engineered as the Fine Bros.
I'm sorry that you didn't know their videos were like that and you're not ready to alter your worldview. But, y'know...
People don't think it be like it is. But it do.

>>83689700
See? This exactly what I'm talking about. You cannot speak against this spam bullshit without being accused of being an SJW. I've never read Angela, and yet, you make the assumption that I'm a huge fan of it. That "us against them" attitude is so ingrained, that you literally cannot conceive of the concept of a middle ground, or even an entirely different "side" all together. The idea that someone is against you solely because you're an annoying bastard is utterly foreign to you. That's just sad.

Let's forget about Angela and talk about that.

I fucking dare you. Talk about what you like. Do it.
>>83689854

The fact that bad books exist doesn't mean that it's okay for them to exist
>>83689705
>I'm saying it's more likely that a 9 year old hasn't seen the original ghostbusters
Except that's not what you were saying. What you were saying was that literally not a single 9 year old has ever seen the original, and that anyone arguing for the opposite was functionally retarded.
And now you're backpedalling and actually putting yourself in reasonable terms. And I'm sorry, but media tends to stay relevant for a while, because TV keeps regurgitating it, and parents tend to re-watch stuff they enjoyed when they were younger. Ghostbusters itself came out years before most people in this thread were even born, yet most of us have seen it. And this is a movie that was a runaway success, which was still universally known ten years after its release, still selling toys, still having its signature song played on the radio. So yes, it's less likely, but to be as condescending about it as you have been is retarded.
>>83689350
Not that anon but the directors have a lot more control over their movies on the 70s than now. Jaws and Star Wars started the concept of blockbuster and things got way worse with reaganomics, global market and finally Hollywood moving from the movie business to the franchise business. Even indie movies are prefabricated bullshit, you can tell how the entire thing will play with watching the first minutes or even the poster.
Diversity is just one way to hide the lack of new ideas.
Honestly, SJW liberal types were given an opportunity to use comic books and several other forms of media as a platform for their beliefs, a prime opportunity to express their thoughts and take a leadership role in some small way, and they've across the board used this opportunity to entrench themselves in bitter indignation, and have only divided communities rather than unifying them, using tactics of social exclusion and the imposition of guilt and shame upon others for increasingly petty reasons.
There isn't a single voice among them that wants to be a leader. They only want to be in opposition to an already established authority so they can feel wronged by it. They don't know what to do when they realize they have to become the authority figure themselves. They just want to make loud pleas for someone else to bring the changes they want to see.

Look up "New Hollywood" it was the peak of director's having creative freedom however because of this meaning directors could do whatever they want it lead to disasters like Heaven's Gate and One from the Heart which meant major studios pulling the creative reigns from directors that lead inevitably to the current state of major hollywood films. It also lead to the independent film boom of the late 80s and 90s.

Yeah the internet and affordable high definition cameras didn't exist. It's actually easier now to become a film maker then it has been in the past.
We live in a time when Tangerine, a movie filmed on a fucking iPhone, can get massive praise at film festivals. And before you say:
>That's not being a massive success
That's how you get started.
George Lucas' first movie was a student film set in a dystopian future.
James Cameron's first movie was a 12 min film with a budget of 20k.
Spielburg started off in the 60's making micro budget films that had budgets of a couple hundred dollars
Coppola's first film was a 1 hour movie set in Las Vegas that was just a titty film.

Lots of their frustration comes from the fact that they can't force people to read things, so the audience for what they create only ends up being made up of other bitter people who imagine the work being read and hated by their enemies

How the fuck do 63 people fall for bait that starts like this.
64 now, I guess.
Are we all mentally challenged?

No, you're just on /co/. We don't know how to take a joke, but you can be damn sure we'll take any kind of bait that gets thrown out. /co/ is well known for having absolutely no self awareness.
>>83690631
Ah, an "Ow the Edge" response. So now that your oh so clever game has been guessed, you'll respond with memes, greentexts and smug/laughing reaction images.
... Fucking hell, I've been in this pit way too long.

so you dont remember that time when a certain furry website had an internal strife and used 4chan as its battlegroundand the direct result of that was 4chan hating any online group outside 4chan
>>83690645
A lot of marvels indulgence in Sjw shit is that they can only murder spider man's marriage once and what they really want is something that will puss off their readers, because they hate their readers.

Stop trying to tell people to stop saying things.

No, I don't. I'm hard pressed to believe that never actually happened, because I've never been able to find any concrete evidence of it.
Although, speaking of "Get the fuck over it.". Holy shit.

>I've never been able to find any concrete evidence of it.
Ever seen that pic of that pink haired fat chick with the comment you dont want me to unleash my 4chan army on you? she was one of the leaders of the other side
I know its been ages but if you are really that old im sure you'd encounter it by now

You're doing god's work, anon.

No.

The whole Internet is trying desperately to be a gang war, but it just ends up showing that people are fucking stupid.

Re-reading old comics, or the ones I missed. I've recently read Frank Miller's Ronin and I don't know how I could have missed that. One of my favorite books right now.
I'd look more to contemporary indie books, but it's all marred by the same twitter-webcomic style of writing and often subpar art which is no surprise as a lot of Image books is just Marvel shitters doing their vanity projects. I guess The Goddamned is pretty good, even if not really groundbreaking.
I think the saddest thing about the OP pic is that in a more appropriate comic, [UNSOLICITED OPINIONS ON ISRAEL] could've been genuinely hilarious. But, just... what the fuck is it doing in Angela. C'mon.

>engage others in some oldfag dick measuring contest about remembering vague 4chan history

For fuck's sake, mate.
>>83686636
Well he is, I mean when somebody is right they're right.
>>83686816
I would almost believe this was the case were it not for the fact that the writer is a massive liberal, and a Hillary supporter at that.
>>83687718
I'm actually going to wait for the movie to come out before I start making make any final judgement. Paul Feig has made some pretty funny movies, and almost all of them have shitty unfunny trailers.
I am disappointed that it is a reboot instead of a continuation of the series.

Why did you guys think people were talking about it so much?
>>83688989
They get lots of chances to make their own work, and then people don't like it and it doesn't sell.
>>83688965
Gee I wonder why.

I should also add, they don't really care whether it sells, since they're idealogues, and their goal is to push the ideology, selling only matters inasmuch as it enables them to make people read the things they want people to read
>>83689949
You know what, you're completely right when I think about it.
>>83690645
This is something that people who adhere to this kind of ideology seems to struggle with, the lack of centrality in regards to their thinking. Everything they believe is in opposition to some other established belief. When they write these stories, they aren't trying to build forms and create structures, they only want to subvert and dismantle.
I wonder if they made a comic that was straight up 90s Angela where she ran around the universe in nothing + a magic ribbon making out with lesbian angels and then killing monsters and getting splattered on their blood, 1. How it would sell and 2. How people would react to it.
>>83686592
Don't know about you, op, but I love when liberals try to push their views through comics with the subtlety of a fucking trainwreck.
>>83687374
Yeah George Zimmerman totally turned out to be sane and nonviolent
>>83691605
When they do get the chance to create "structures" it's always something barren, like Steven Universe's four masculinized lesbians taking care of a single gay boy
>>83691701
For real though, it's like they have no grasp of how to craft allegories and metaphors with these characters and stories. It's always just blunt, direct meta ironic social commentary with characters acting as blatant mouthpieces for what usually amounts to differing sides in a comment section fight. Half the time it just seems like they're trying to conflate the world of social media with the Marvel universe.
>>83686716
>You can't have compelling villains anymore, because edgelord readers will immediately side with them
Only if you're an incompetent writer.
>>83691777
>Zimmerman was a cop
>>83686592
I'm not upset, that means smaller publisher just have a better chance of getting noticed since Marvel and DC are upper shit, mostly Marvel and the constant bowing to "Muh Causes".
It's just so hilarious to think that these shit hacks are getting paid to "write". There has been a serous lack of storytelling in the last 10years from Marvel. It's time to go back the the compressed form of storytelling. Keep the story contained in one or two books, not drag the piss out of it with a resulting let down conclusion. The more story you put in a single issue the more depth you give the book and its characters. Also, it time to stop making every book the soapbox to air out personal/ethnic/racial/political/etc. issues. We get it there needs to be a message, but at the expense of storytelling is just bad form. Every editor at Marvel needs to be sacked and replaced with people who want to make storytelling the main focus of their fiefdoms, the EiC has a responsibility to the brand not to the latest liberal cause. The overwhelming saturation of "snowflake" issues is off putting and boring.
>>83689505
So they've still got more than you, then?

he thought he was a cop
