#Comicsgate - The Culture Wars Hit The Funny Books!

I wish this dumb shitstain wouldn't come up as often as he does but... It seems Tim might be selling plagiarized art prints through his shitty website (Archives: 1 2 3 4 ).

Frazetta Girls (Tweets 1 2 3 4 , Archives 1 2 3 4)

There's also more crossover, this time from Caereercow Ian Miles Cheong:

He deleted the tweet, thankfully someone had already archived it.

Plus the women who got their accounts topped off will probably be in a bit of trouble when the authorities sort through all those transactions and be brought up on embezzlement charges.

So it's like if you put on a balaclava and robbed a bank, ran out after everyone saw you put all the cash into a burlap sack with a dollar sign on it, then ran up to a car being driven by a black guy and threw the bag of cash into his passenger seat while the sounds of police sirens are still going and gradually getting louder behind you. Then you go sit with your friends at a craft microbrew in the nice gentrified part of town and exchange stories about how each of you did your part to combat colonialism today, topped off with a heartwarming tale of the poor oppressed black man whose life is probably better after having crossed your path, not that you'll bother to check.

Tim acts as if schoolteachers aren't already trying to publicly call out, shame, and excommunicate people for things that may not be crimes as terrible as the narrative is trying to enforce.

LMAO

 

[Water-T]

LOL. Once again, a serial virtue signaller turns out to be scum.

I know these guys virtue signal to alleviate their guilt and/or throw people off their scent, but all it really does is draw fucking attention to their dumb asses.

Jesus - that's a smile that says, "I'm required by law to notify families with children when I move to a neighborhood".

Doreen Green was created in 1991 by Steve Ditko. She's mostly supposed to be a parody of the genre with the gag being someone like her defeating people like Dr. Doom without much difficulty (usually off-panel). She was in limbo after her first story until the early 2000s where she was brought back as part of the Great Lake Avengers and later as a babysitter for Luke Cage's daughter at the end of the decade. Some people point at her first story as justification for Henderson's ugly style but that's just Ditko being shit at drawing people if we're going to be brutally honest and Squirrel Girl is supposed to be plain/average looking, not whatever you'd call her nowadays. You barely missed both periods she was known for before the current incarnation.

If you want the TL;DR version of that, one of the guys behind the creation of Spider-Man came up with the concept for One Punch Man decades earlier but it didn't catch on and wasn't used effectively before they shit the bed by making it some Tumblr comic.

This description is more interesting than the character has been in a decade of comic books.

Did this guy literally deliberately color coordinate his shirt, glasses and the fucking energy drink or whatever he's drinking?

Not really Comicsgate per se, but considering that this writer was kind of pulled from a lot of the same venues that other Marvel writers have been pulled from (namely from the young adult fiction scene with authors who seem to have no past experience or apparent interest in comics as a medium) it kind of explains a few things about how a lot of Marvel's new crop of writers approach the comics.

Interestingly enough, looking up some of the reviews for nu-Runaways, a common criticism from new readers who have never heard of the series is that her run has been extremely unfriendly to newcomers who have no clue what the hell's going on because there's so many references to the past series and other appearances they've made since their last run that newbies basically have to track down the original run plus a handful of other books in order to even start reading this series.

Between that and fanfic authors having a rather... liberal relationship with things like continuity and pacing anyways, jumping into a comic gig going "It's just like my fanfics!" is a terrible frame of mind to be in from both a marketing and reader's standpoint - especially when you're expected to fork over either $5.99 an issue or $19.99 for a trade.

 

[gobbogobb]

So he hates pacing, plot and character development but likes gay sex.

So basically he’s a chuck tingle fanboy.

Kinda like fanfic isn't it? I imagine it feels like reading a fanfic of a franchise you arent familiar with but heard about.
BTW I made your pics a bit more readable:

Spoiler: Fixed

Fuck it, forget all the comicsgate and political sperging. I'm already out the door because there's a Jurassic Park velociraptor on the cover. What the fuck is that? That's not a superhero thing to me.

We're all Abe Simpson writing letters to the president complaining there are too many states these days. If the people running this shitshow industry don't understand just how much of an uphill battle it is to draw in even a nerd like me who is otherwise forgiving of esoteric continuity faggotry in my games and shows, then they were loons even before social justice became their cause du jour.

 

[Ahffline]

I remember the good ole days when cape comics where about superheroes defeating supervillains, when the Asgardians spoke in a beautifully-gimped mishmash of Shakespeare and formal English, when the X-men books expressed their central theme of fighting prejudice and finding a place to fit in by actually telling captivating stories that were worth plunking down my coins for, when I looked forward to my weekly run to the local gas station and a convenience store to by my books because there was no comic shop nearby and online wasn't a thing.

Once the agenda becomes the story and all subtlety and craft are gone, the result is a limping husk that needs to be put out of its misery to be born anew.

I just had a chilling thought. Imagine if Magneto had been created in the past couple of years by this crop of talent. His entire character would be a mockery.

"Personally, I’d have Professor X be a follower of Malcolm X, while Magneto hangs with Dr. Martin Luther King. That way, Prof. X sees Malcolm X gunned down, the tragic results of a movement divided. He tries to choose peace. Magneto watches the death of his pacifist hero Dr. King, and rejects nonviolence."

That would be better than Magneto goes antifa because reasons or whatever crack brain story the current writers would have

That's part of the irony of all this. If the writers/artists weren't idiots when it comes to dealing with people or actively shitting on what came before them, you could totally market a bunch of the nu-Marvel characters in a way that doesn't sound like the dumbest thing you've heard since the last one. I know I can spin many of these concepts to be interesting and I bet most people can too.

Not bad actually, i could see it work.

Diversity and Comics salty as fuck:

Also, leave it to Marvel to make Rose Tico the writer for X-23.
