WTF happened to Astro City? Why is it so shit now?
I just read Silver Agent. That shit is MINDBLOWING that anyone could write on that level in the cape genre. This might be literally the pinnacle of all cape writing just in terms of sheer scripting quality.
This series has gone from THAT to "Kurt Busiek writes random garbage no one wants to read but literal faggots defend because 'MUH FEELZ'".
How do you go from 20/10 caliber scripts that realized the promise and potential of Watchmen better than any other comic in history (and just happened...

While we're at it, what's /co/'s favorite Astro City story?
Do you really think the current arc is garbage, cranky?
>>84378899
The whole recent volume is the worst thing Busiek has ever done.
Why don't comic book writers like using the term "ESP" for things like telekinesis and telepathy? Does the term swing to close to magic?
>>84378481
The concept of psychic existed outside of magic and witchcraft it was a term meant for people that display abiitlies outside the ordinary related to the mind.
>>84378481
manga does this a LOT i notice
>>84378481
Because other words exist that describe specific types of ESPer powers.

Is...is he making it (whatever it is) fuck itself?
Has Jean ever really had a character?
What I mean is, has she ever had any defined traits as a person that didn't revolve around other people wanting to fuck her or the Phoenix force popping up? She seems like she's just basically a blank slate. In the silver age stuff she's just "the girl" and doesn't even get a backstory like the four guys do. In the Claremont revival she turns into Phoenix and dies to give Scott angst. Then it gets fuzzy for me since I didn't read a lot of the later 80s and 90s stuff until Morrison's run where...

The most personality she has is in Louise Simonson's X-Factor
> dies to give Scott angst
Jean died because it was the only way her story as The Phoenix could end. It wasn't a case of " we'll kill the girlfriend to make the boyfriend sad"

I should have noticed in that week he suddenly stops looking cute and starts looking so vicious and soul-less. But I was like
>Poor, Osiris, but at least he's got Sobek
Also Giffen gloating about how much he hated him in the author notes. Fuck.
This is fucking evil.
Why isn't there more diversity in cartoons?
Why can't Finn not be a fucking moron?
>>84377234
Why does /co/ hate character flaws and love Mary-Sues?
>>84377234
Implying cartoons don't force muh diversity
Would you?

This was about child abuse, wasn't it? I don't see what else it could metaphorically be about.
It was a metaphor for her father being a self centered dick.
>I'm hungry, I better eat my kid's fries before she gets back.
Hunson wanted her fries.
Marceline wanted daddy's cummies.

That is not a cute or appealing word. Stop using it.
What, in your opinion, is the greatest animated episode of all time?
>>84376658
made by america right?
just to be safe?
>>84376692
Anything but something that was first in Japanese
>China Anne McClain, whom voices Freddie in Descendants, will be playing Ursula's daughter in Descendants 2.
Why not just have her play Freddie? She is already playing best girl?
Kids don't care about Falcier.
Superior Freddy.

>Ursula's daughter
I know we don't have a visual image, but Ever After High's sea witch is adorable.

Why is he so grumpy?
The company has become more diverse and better
because he has a mirror at his house
>>84376050
>better
That's up for opinion.
>Bane
>Black Mask
>Hush
>Owlman
>Prometheus
>Red Hood
Christ exactly how many "Dark Mirror of Batman" villains do we need exactly? Some writers are even doing with the fucking Penguin
>>84375935
You left out Killer Moth.
>>84375935
Its a pretty old trope for a rogue's gallery.
And honestly, Bane, Owlman, Wraith and Prometheus are the only ones that really count. And even then, Owlman is literally from another universe.
When did this happened?
Sometime after this happened.
