It's bad because Big Bad Frogget says it is. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just another Rippatard. Meanwhile he's stooped to using 3D assets, which means using AI to finish his five year late books isn't far away. He's shitting all over honest indie creators and fucking with their money. He's smoking PCP with Yakuza Crackwhore Resbians and licking urinals. He's elevating human canker sores like Vito and Katydidydog to Kang status over actual creators who regularly kiss his ass on Twitter.

But I think we need to talk more about Zack

Yeah, from what I understand about 3D assets is not a very uncommon thing comics and even mangas use, hell webtoons even use them, and it's mostly to save time. Still the fact he complains about them all while using them himself is just ridiculously hypocritical. His audience really is a bunch of retards.

Huh...didn't these Anti Rippaverse freaks say ISOM #3 is never going to come out or that he needs to change the name? Welp, I guess that's another lie that was pretty much proven to be a lie. 🤷

"Bruce Banner IS a beta male. That's the ENTIRE point of the Hulk franchise. Suppressed anger from getting pushed around erupts from a tiny angry man"

-- The Word of Zack, https://archive.ph/JkUb3

Comic books were so much worse off for having this idiot involved with them. Every time he opens his mouth about a popular comic book character, he sounds like Otto from a Fish Called Wanda discussing philosophy.

For Frog and EJ, it's all about competition and jealousy. It's not a good reason, but it's understandable. Zack and Drinker, though, don't occupy the same space and aren't in competition, but Zack seems determined to pass away his existing audience that he can't replace. He chose to give up on the Waid lawsuit when he had an army willing to go to battle for him. He chose Jim Jefferies over Joe Rogan. It all seems calculated to slide into irrelevancy; if that were his goal, I don't know what he would do differently.

The opnly hypothesis I can come up with is that Meyer gets some kind of rush disappointing/being contrarian to other people's expectations. of him.

Bruce Banner and the Hulk are Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde. That's it, that's the premise.

I just always assume that the Drinker and Zack had some kind of falling out over that book they worked on together. Whatever the reason, declaring war on the Drinker and all his friends hasn't helped Zack in any way. All it's really done is draw attention to bizarre behavior that was always there in the background of Zack's videos but now seems to have completely taken over Zack's whole personality.

It's bizarre. Zack was getting connections, positive coverage, and a decent footprint in the indie space on to stop shipping books and go full retard on everyone he'd been adjacent to for...what exactly? More wine mom show marathons?
 
my theory is that Zack blew himself up as guilt with impostor syndrome. you imagine, a homeless hobo guy just ranting at shitty comics in his car then suddenly you get thrust into making comics, being funed with hundreds of thousands of dollars? he probably cant handle the immediate flash in the pan success
he probably prefer to just going back to ranting at shitty comics.
but then he got too lost in the sauce and lost his mind

The indie comic scene is crowded, and Zack probably realized that staying relevant requires constant work, meeting deadlines, building relationships, and evolving with the industry. Zack threw away opportunities because staying angry is easier than being accountable. It’s not about building a career it’s about feeding his ego and avoiding accountability

Personal failures often bleed into professional and public life, and Zack’s downward spiral is likely fueled by more than just internet drama. The broken marriages, abandoned children, and burned friendships they piled on. When you have no family or close friends left, the internet becomes your only outlet.

He believes structure, discipline, and a clear hierarchy are essential. But his personal & professional life says otherwise.
Zack spends his money on toys and collectibles. That’s a textbook escape mechanism.

If he stops ranting, he has to face the emptiness.
If he stops fighting, he has to acknowledge his failures.
If he stops blaming others, he has to take responsibility.

He made today’s video early in the morning using his PS5 camera because his phone was charging. And for what? To complain that some BPCs were making fun of Mark Hamill’s wardrobe malfunction in an award ceremony. And he does so by using the most babyish insults calling them bullies, Nelson Muntz, Biff Tannen.
 
My personal theory goes as follows: Zack messaged Drinker asking for a collab, shoutout or just simply spliced-in advertisement for his campaigns, offering a blowjob in exchange. Drinker saw an unexpected, creepy message from some guy signed "Richard C. Meyer", who he'd never heard of and either told him to fuck off or just never responded at all. Zack remains forever assblasted since that fateful day.

Edit: should've lurked more.

We have a (late) drama news alert! Apparently last night Eric July and Jeremy got in a shouting match on the TNME (Tuesday night main event) show on the GnG channel. Haven't had time to watch it but there are tons of comments on the livestream about it, and @FROG did some huge drama stream last night as well about it, crowing about how his enemies are finally falling. I have not had a chance to watch any of it more than 30 seconds worth, so I don't really know what the argument was about other than something related to politics. The livestream hasn't been taken down so I assume they will leave it up, but you never know.

He's not a Republican, he's a libertarian. He doesn't vote for anyone.

I doubt anyone will come out of it. Frog man can say whatever he wants.


See? Everything is cool. Although I will admit EJ's haters or somehow convinced that Jeremy "woke up" from him. Oh and they're trying to say he called the police for being made fun of online. FFS does anybody even believe that now? I've seen it myself he never did that. 🙄

Speaking of which, Drinker did an interview with Thomas F. Wilson, I haven't watched it - but I imagine Richard got an alert that Drinker was live with it, and snorted to himself in the dark room convincing himself "Back to the Future wasn't even good anyway"

Maybe it's something, and maybe it's just two guys who know each other having a debate/disagreement on something... Happens all the time. Ethan should probably wait a second before jumping in victory - hey if his fans can wait 4 years for a comic, he can wait a few days to see the fallout.

Well, Urinal Licker may try and make it out to be some big falling out, but Jeremy and Eric don’t seem to think so.

Even if it was a real fight, they’re not sperging out at each other on twitter or anything, just business as usual. So it’s clearly been resolved if it was even a real thing to begin with.

Yeah, I've seen the comments of the live stream this happened on, they are CONVINCED they are done with each other. They are even repeating the propaganda Dick Masterson and EVS are repeating about him too. Including the old "he called the police for being made fun of on the internet" lie. I looked it up myself, looks like he called them because someone was stalking him....hardly what I would call being made fun of on the internet.

To me it wasn't even that they were babyish insults, it's that he had some new terrible analogy that he thinks is some major epiphany that explains the world. He always has those. Like describing them as the non-popular jocks from high school just perfectly explains everything you need to know about them. I guess because they're not popular and they like sports? I don't know. I know it's an analogy and not meant to be literally interpreted but it's stupid and isn't obvious or self-explanatory what you're supposed to take from it and he thinks it's some amazing idea. He also says they're not nerds and I have no idea what his criteria is for that but it has something to do with Michal Keaton and Mr. Mom.

Mostly it just seems like his tiny mind can only see the world through the lens of 1980s movie high school cliques and he struggles to twist and turn everything to fit into that box that he understands. They were only barely true when I went to high school and the reality was there was a lot more nuance and shades of gray. Except for a few outliers, most people weren't one kind of thing. Based on what my teenager tells me, it's even less so nowadays. It also makes less sense when applied to 50-year-old men.

Edit: I just wanted to add that it's similar to his Birthday Party Clown analogy. It's clunky and inelegant and requires a rambling explanation but in his mind it somehow super insightful and makes some kind of amazing sense and it's informed by some kind of intrinsic universal experience that everyone will just get. To the best of my memory, the BPC thing essentially attempts to convey the idea that these guys just have one thing to show you and they do that one thing over and over. I've said this here before but there was already a better thing for that: one trick pony. Even people who never had anything to do with ponies automatically understand the idea being communicated there. All of Zack's ideas to describe people are terrible and make no sense to anyone besides him.

Another edit: I think the thing Zack misses about analogies is that normally they're meant to make things easier to understand - taking some hard-to-grasp concept and presenting it in the context of something they already get. Zack's analogies are never helpful for the listener because his goal for them isn't to make things easier to understand. Rather, his analogies are there to be a new way to land sick burns against his enemies.
