I hate "aura farming" so fucking much. it's another cover for bad writing.
that word doesn't even mean anything besides character standing around doing jack shit

At least it allows for some cool shots like this

Mark becoming a conqueror could have worked if the story had been building towards that, but that would require Kirman to admit people are not blank slates, which then would lead to uncomfortable questions about the nature of race and how it plays into the behavior of humans, and other sentient races.

Turns out Earth born and earthling viltrumite hybrids tend to be far more heroic and empathetic than their full blooded Viltrum native counterparts

What did Kirkmann mean by this?
This pisses me off to no end, so many fictional universes just treat angels as winged humans with a few superpowers, usually portrayed in a negative light, or as naive buffoons being led around the nose by God.

When I think of an angel, I think divine, absolute power made manifest.

Isn’t it crazy how Dragon Ball Super was able to stick closer to that by having the angels be borderline unbeatable ? Kirkmann is a sperg so he loves to have his OCs wipe the floor with characters from other pre-established IPs (its literally a corporate version of "my character I just made up can beat eeeeeveryone!").

May I remind you that Kirkmann said with a straight face that Superman gets folded by Mark or Omniman, cant remember which.

You could argue it was satire or him just hyping it up his characters for the meme and discussion but knowing him? Ngl, chances are, he meant what he said.

“I heard you were crazy, I didn't think you were stupid.”
Spiderman 2099 had an ending funnily enough, where he becomes space hitler and sets off to conquer the stars or something.
And it was one of the few character endings marvel respected for a long while, to the point that every time he would show up in other media they just said it was a version of him from the past and not spider hitler.

Something tells me they wont mention that in Beyond the Spiderverse...
 
I think the only way to salvage Western comics in general, and capeshit in particular, besides sending everyone currently drawing, writing, editing and publishing them to death camps, is to adopt the manga model.
Personally I think the best way forward would just be to completely steal from the manga industry. Instead of a bunch of floppy issues that don’t sell, compile them all into an anthology magazine and sell it for like 5 bucks. Then, the good, popular stories get compiled into paperbacks and the crap ones get canceled. But the comic industry is allergic to doing anything to save itself so fuck it.

it's funny because piccolo is the secondary vegeta, not even the primary one

Is it any coincidence mestizo Central and South Americans live in places with technology while pure blooded native descendants still live in run down reservations?
