Zack when you try to be a moral crusader but:
A.) Have mountains of history that prove you’re literally worse than whoever you’re attacking.
&
B.) Show that there’s literally nothing they can do to please you. You will have the goal post moved 80k ft from them by the time they even try.

You get the unhinged bum effect you’re giving off.

Just get a squeegee and bucket already so you can serenade employed people with your insanity.

So, Richard has an idea for a comic book character who is sort of like Superman but not really like him at all. However, even though he has a comic book company he can't do his comic until the copyright on Superman runs out, even though it's basically a different character. Well, he did the same thing with Spawn a while ago. "Here's a complete rewrite of Spawn's character and backstory, hire me to do your comics, Todd." I mean if the Arch Villain is going to be based on the Critical Drinker, then he isn't even going with a DC villain.

Richard is like those companies that make really bad horror movies about out of copyright characters, except he wants to make bad comics out of them. In theory that is, because I'll be surprised if he does any more comics that don't use shitty AI art that he can't actually sell.

Also, "this guy is corrupt just like that Ned Flanders," a character well known for being the most ridiculously honest person on the Simpsons. But I guess we can't all have the integrity of Richard. He didn't have to shill a Batman comic to support his sponsor, in fact, if he's going to be sponsored by a comic book shop every negative review of a mainstream comic is going against their interests. And a tepid recommend on a comic isn't really going to get people rushing out to the comic shop.

Basically he'd use an A-List character to fulfill a power fantasy where he uses said character to kick the asses of people he doesn't like.... as Kelly Thompson or Ta Nehisi Coates would do.... you stared too long into the abyss there Zack....

I can't believe we have to wait 8 and a half years to see this retarded idea put to print.

Also, and I can't believe a comic fan needs to be told this, but making barely legally distinct knock offs of characters is a time honored tradition.

Finally, Zack's thesis is that money = corruption. How he delineates the fact that his comics are a money making venture as a contrast with Critical Drinker making money off his videos, is unfortunately too gigabrained for me, and I can't figure it out. Or he's just dumb.

That's why he showed up the first time. He wanted to refute a claim, made by Mister Dongs, that Preston Poulter was involved in the Rippaverse. He also addressed other questions as to how he intended to run things.

Nowadays, he's been around long enough to where I'm not sure what he would have to explain much of anything. Most people seem to understand the broad stokes of how his business works. He takes pre-orders on work that is already completely or largely done, and people get their comics in a reasonable amount of time. His business model is not terribly dissimilar from Iconic's.

Meanwhile, FROGman takes your money, under the guise of crowdfunding, and sits on his fat ass for years at a time, as he works at a snail's pace to make the product, while spending more time bitching about the guy who is doing a better job than him.

To the average person uninitiated with this whole CG thing, the former looks like a normal business run by a honest broker, and the latter looks more like a scam. Hence the prevailing site-wide view concerning EJ vs EVS.

As @Incecticyder pointed out, Zack's latest brilliant OC Donut Steel is already a character called Captain Sunshine, who appeared in a few episodes of The Venture Brothers. Although by looking at him you'd think Zack actually did create Captain Sunshine as he enjoys wearing the rainbow and hanging out with young men.

The main difference is that the Captain isn't beating up proxies of YouTubers who annoy Zack.

But he wants the actual character. Hence why he waiting to get batman/superman in the public domain. Luckily he won't make to the era of their peaks because there's no way he's going to live to do a shitty ai spiderman. He can't really touch the modern stuff because the public domain only allows you to use what was out for the character by year. So if spiderman is public domain in 2062, you can't do black suit spiderman until 2084. Also trademarks are a loophole companies can use to lock their usage indefinitely

I DO think he lurks here though. But yeah, he will not post unless he has to clear something out.

Sunshine is also merely socially underdeveloped and mentally traumatized. He is confirmed to just be a bit weird but non-malicious or creepy. He kinda treats his sidekicks as a kid would treat playmates.

But why would an evil Superman be fighting The Drinker? That's stupid and gay.

Yeah, but what if evil Superman was the Critical Drinker? Did you consider that?

See? See?! Evil Superman drinks! That's canon.

Good Superman has to fight evil Critical Drinker Superman! Zack is a genius! Clearly, he just made the plot of Superman III less shit. :story:

"Just checked and you're right. 1961. So I'll probably do it a lot sooner and make it fanfic. Do the old Daniel Warren Johnson bit where you give it away for 'free'...and then charge for your autograph. 😂"

That's actually worse than "cultural war bonds," Richard.

That's pathetic.

(On, the plus side, after buying several boxes of screws I finally got a screw of the right size for this box I bought off of Ebay. Hooray for me!)

Does he think the bulk of his comic output is anything other than fanfic?

Not even good fanfic, either. It's shit like:
"What if GI JOE and COBRA teamed up to fight AL-QAEDA?"
"The ROCKFORD FILES meets THE BOYS"

"What if he's Superman, but he is a failed comic-book indie author who was a also marine and has a fetish for pump-and-dumping black women and he BEATS UP mean Youtubers that dislike Furiosa and are scottish??? I bet that would sell like hotcakes!"
 
Superman is the Coca Cola Classic of superheroes. You are not replacing him, just learn to live with him being king. Superheroes as a whole might as well be called "Supermen" because everyone can be traced back to his lineage. The modern idea of a "Hero" is stemming from Supes. Before that, "hero" meant someone important, strong and/or famous. Heracles was not always upstanding in his contact but you knew him and his story.

A hero being a good man, teaching morality and doing good stems from Superman.
