3. What in god's name do you mean you don't have time to read manga? You spend 8 to 12 hours a day on Twitter. You have all the time in the world.

Manga is actually easy mode in terms of information absorption, especially in the 21st century. Boot up your tablet, your scanlation site of choice (or the official release if you swing that way) and watch as you zoom through entire volumes in a single day, not even having to take up time to physically turn the page, going as fast as your device and the sites servers will allow. With Blob's sedentary lifestyle, and lets be generous, at 375 chapters, assuming an above average reading speed given the sheer amount of tweets he produces, I give him one to two weeks assuming he doesn't go full hermit mode.

Robert is flattering himself thinking the audience of weebs who actually care for these live-action adaptations do give a rat's ass about his opinion.

 

[Judge Dredd]

Bob thinks the American comic industry and the American movie industry are the same thing.

He knows the difference, he just subscribes to the US comic cope that Marvel comics don't have to be profitable, that they're beta tests for future film franchises and any sales are a happy bonus.

It was like in the 90's when you had Batman, Spiderman and X-Men all having popular cartoons. It increased readership of the comics.

Except US comics are so bad that more than 10 years of capeshit dominating the cinema and pop culture, the books are still failing to move off shelves. All they had to do was be at least passable, but couldn't hit even that low bar. eg. When Captain America was making money at the box office, comic Captain America was a nazi and Red Skull was Trump.

Now ask them who Squirrel Girl is and the issue she first appeared in

Well, looks like Bob knows who Squirrel Girl is.

1. You should want Netflix to stop churning out Westernized live-action anime adaptations because they're unwatchable garbage nobody asked for, made by people who have no respect for the source material or the fans.

I mean, I'll play the devil's advocate and say that even Japan doesn't have a good track record of live-action adaption of their own properties. The 3 Death Note movies, Gantz, Jojo, Attack on Titan, Lupin the 3rd, Assassination Classroom, Full Metal Alchemist , as few examples. Heck, what does it say when Samurai X and Initial D are the best ones.

Bobby predicts a new industry in a world dominated by AI art: aesthetic forensics.
View attachment 4060134

Why is Chris so sweaty and why does he insist on trying to pout for these photos?

Also, why should there be an industry wide backlash over ai art? Why should an author not take advantage of a tool to generate illustrations for their book? It sounds like to me that this person is evolving with the toolset to take advantage of a new opportunity to become relevant in the digital AI era. If they are making an original work with AI, how is that art forgery?

Heart disease would be my guess for the first half; alcohol-induced brain damage for the second.

The knock on AI art is that it's not really creating anything; it's just collating images from the vast archives of the internet, pilfering styles, images, and poses. I definitely find it creepy and I'm not unsympathetic to claims that it's a form of copyright violation, though how you make that stick I have no idea.

Oh no, he was saying retarded shit well before GG and Trump (The Last Airbender is good because it's pretty, FPS games have no value and that's a hard fact, Mass Effect 3, etc). He'd still have a thread here, we'd just be mocking him over something else.

Gamergate was where he really seemed to ratchet up the aggressiveness, though; and Trump really sent him round the bend. He might still have a thread, but we wouldn't be closing in on 5100 pages' worth of burbling nonsense.

Devilman is an excellent example of a terrible live action adaptation of a manga. It's so bad it's compared to Dragonball Evolution in awfulness.

I could see that point if one was taking existing pictures and just applying filters to them. But at the same time I feel that it is creating something new when I put in a prompt like "Khajit has wares if you have coin Mike Mignola" and I get pictures that never existed before. I'm aping the distinctive style of Mike Mignola, but I could do that with pen and paper just as well. It is more like sampling different songs to make a new song, but there are people who don't like that either. I'm not taking a screenshot from Skyrim of a Khajit merchant and slapping a Mignola filter over it. If I don't say that Mike actually drew the item in question, and I didn't trace an existing peice of his work, how it's a copywrite violation. To be honest, I don't know how much one needs to 'transform' an existing work to be able to claim it as ones own, but I imagine that a simple filter would not be sufficient. It would definitely be something I would look into prior to trying to sell things.

I liked the live action adaptation of Futari Monologue. The Japanese tendency to overact and mug to the camera actually served the comedy pretty well.

Animation almost never translates well to live action in general, except for the occasional masterpiece like Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties. All the more reason to want Netflix to stop doing it. There are countless reasons to wish Netflix would stop shitting out Westernized live-action anime, and Bob chose, "Waaa, I might have to put the bare minimum of effort into my job if one of them isn't complete trash!"

Eventually there will be laws made about AI art, much as copyright was invented when you could make cheap copies of people existing work. It'll just be the wild west for a while.

Also, I was trying to figure out why Bob was so obsessed with this one actress playing Squirrel Girl in the Marvel shows or movies.

probably because it represented “new Marvel”. The infamous comic was around that time. The art made Squirrel Girl look like got Downs Syndrome, maybe Bob can relate.

Here is another retarded Bob take on manga:

The only thing I can think of that references the Wizard of Oz is that one Code Geass side-story, but maybe I’m just not a true manga connoisseur like Bob is.

Bob is such a poseur that he apparently doesn't know the term isekai, which even a total manga ignoramus such as myself has heard of.

I'd even excuse it if he used the phrase "portal fantasy," but apparently he's such an illiterate that he doesn't know that one, either.

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

He's so clueless about manga and non-American comics that it's hilarious. He's also ignorant about American comics, but that's a given.

 

[Brother Wind]

Like, we have all spent countless words showing that Bob doesn't know the things he's fucking absorbing daily. It's impressive that he can get even fucking dumber when talking about things he has no real interaction with. If nothing else, it's well documented that Anime and Manga are well known to have fucking American audiences. It comes and goes, certainly. Like the peaks were definitely at the start when they were being occupied by American teenagers that didn't have a great career trajectory, so not surprisingly cartoons appealed to them. Same as it ever was. And currently, when it's being largely consumed by American teenagers with no career trajectory

I think this thread and its predecessor have conclusively proven that Bob knows nothing. If breathing wasn't an automatic reflex, he would've asphyxiated a long time ago. He is the useless, ignorant mayonnaise ghoul he rails against.
