So according to Richard's new theory today, hating on unpopular movies makes you a bad person and liking popular movies also makes you a bad person because liking popular movies is what everyone does .
And liking popular things is JUST LIKE BEING LIKE HEATHER ANTOS was ten years ago. Yeah. Thats was what comicsgate was all about ten years ago. Fighting back against bad people who liked popular things I guess. Richard says that bad people and republicans and old guys are LIKING THINGS AS A WEAPON.
And they are also all gay for not liking Emily Wilson's odyssey translation. I guess trying to gay-bait them into engaging is Richard's new thing. Richard is a real expert on greek translations now and articles by the author of the translation that he didn't bother to read either. Richard knows that Emily Wilson's translation is real good. Its just in better english or somethin. He was also trying to play pretentious artistic Richard again.
Richard still seems still really upset about supergirl and it making him look even dumber than normal. I would think he would have figured out by now that his big plan to get popular again by going after more popular streamers and comics creators isn't working.

Does he know she flat out rejects Nolan’s bullshit take on the source material, and basically describes it as woke without saying the word?
Surely he’s not raging about something he doesn’t know or genuinely care about to get clicks.
(Emily accused Nolan of rejecting the era-appropriate depictions of war and masculinity and for a modern lens, and she disagreed with his choice to do that)

Didn't she accuse Nolan of Americanizing the Odyssey without using those exact words?

Yeah, if Eric July was really so untalented like this jealous idiot likes to say he is, he never would have had a huge book deal in the first place and Rippaverse would have gone out of business a long time ago. Faggot Frog REALLY needs to move on from him, because I've seen the infighting those psychos in comicsgate are doing.....They are NOT looking good. Well...... Not to anyone outside their little cult anyway. Btw to anybody that tries to say Rippaverse is bad/mid/ whatever..... Yeah your words are sawdust. The people have spoken and clearly disagree and enjoy what they read, and yes that includes Isom. Nobody cares what you think about the books and way too many people have gotten into it to take anyone's word for anything and you've had four years to accept that now. Time to accept the reality that like Iconic, Rippaverse has staying power, more good reviews in good faith than bad and a growing fan base, whether you want to or not.

A NEW WAY TO HATE- Liking Popular Thing Isn't Quite The DUNK That Right-Wing YouTubers Think It Is
Transcript:Hi everyone, it's your boy Zach and I think it was last week I tried to go through my emails in the morning while doing a video and it was a complete disaster. Now I'm going to combine my new favorite activity which is cleaning the gutters. Just having them absolutely pristine with water and so we'll just see what happens.
It really doesn't matter. Okay, now I remember why I wasn't able to get this one spot. So anyway, I talked before about how very sadly the legacy of a lot of these right-wing YouTubers is that they basically taught people how to hate or they encouraged people how to hate or they refined how to hate.
But they have found a new way to hate and it is liking things. But the way they like things is so awful that the filmmakers would probably be preferred to call a slur. So the way they like things is to use it against something else that they hate.
So you remember the Supergirl movie that came out not that long ago. It was like a month and a half ago. A lot of stuff has happened in the last month.
But it came out. It flopped by any objective metric. Audience scores were pretty good but of course that doesn't matter.
This is not art. It is a competitive sport and money is all that matters. But Spider-Man came out and it's gotten good reviews and good audience reaction.
And that's a noise. I'm just gonna go ahead and stop with that sound. Um and uh the the the chuds as they uh claim to have been called are now supporting a popular thing when it's popular because they're popular.
Which is literally 2026 version of being 2018 Heather Ontos. So liking popular thing isn't quite the dunk that you think it is. So the the argument is being made that uh oh shucks we just like art and we just like to like things but they don't let us play with them because we're publicans.
Um no it's because you're huge fucking assholes who despise art. Um just for you know just for a for instance. Um I like to watch Just Some Guy.
I've been watching his channel I think from the beginning. And I know that he really really likes Lord of the Rings. What um movie franchise does Eric July like? That's the silence just just the silence and that truck driving a block away.
Yeah you don't know. Because the only time he ever discusses anything is when it is to bandwagon in one direction or another of liking things and hating things. And now they like things but it's it's liking as a weapon.
It's liking as Spider-Man destroyed Supergirl. Were they ever in competition? Yes they are both superhero movies. But there was never a point where it was like we've got a secret weapon.
We're gonna take down the Spider-Man franchise that's made eight billion dollars with Superman's cousin. The funniest thing is I asked Chat GPT how popular is Supergirl in comparison to Superman and it said she was about 25 percent as popular. And the box office of the two movies are like she made basically about a third of what Superman made.
And I would say Superman is a better movie. I actually say it's much better. I like both of them though.
But do you see how I just like things and it doesn't have to be I like this therefore something else is harmed equals yay. A couple days ago I was reading the Orion YA graphic novel which is excellent. Um usually when they do the YA version it's very simplified.
There's a lot of hiring people because of you know DEI style reasons. I'm still laughing about that um uh that Green Lantern YA where it showed like was it Aztec or Mayan? It was it was one of those. And they were like these kindly gods that just want to help you believe in yourself when they're not like we need blood or no rain.
Like that's that's that's how they interacted with humanity. They weren't trying to get you to believe in yourself. But I mean the way um the woman who uh wrote and uh drew the Orion graphic novel the way she understands the fourth world.
I would literally call her the heir apparent to Jack Kirby in that respect. Um uh but anyway. Why are they honking? This is not really a honking style.
It's not really a honking part of the country. There's no hurry. There's no rush.
There's not a lot of people. You don't need to honk. Um but uh but anyway.
Um so their new way of hating things is to like things. But they like things in just the most awful mean sports ball type of way. They are still running with using the myth they created about Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey against it.
By the way I think my hearing just came back. I saw it two weeks ago yesterday and even like on Saturday I was emailing people. It's like bro I think I might have permanent hearing loss.
This is like finally like I you know I I don't have like muffled hearing like I did for two weeks. But yeah so the other one is they're like um you know Christopher Nolan gets destroyed by a woke feminist author he based The Odyssey on. And it's like he never ever said that.
He quoted the first line which all that implies is he was at Barnes and Noble and he literally flipped to the first page and you know let let me tell you a tale of a complicated man. And so he used that quote in like two or three interviews. This was transmogrified by the extremely one might say infinitely dishonest right-wing YouTube space to woke Nolan making woke feminist woke woke woke black trans woke woke woke.
And it's like a white guy hiring a white guy to lead a white guy and there were some supporting roles. And Travis Scott was in it for 45 seconds and Elliott Elliott was in for for four minutes. Not in a row though.
And the whole bit with Helen of Troy being the most beautiful woman in the world they literally make fun of that. Like ironically like oh yeah she's the most beautiful woman. Well 50% off right now because he slashed up her cheek.
It's like they made it very clear that that was just like a fake reason to launch a war. Um but um yeah so they make up a myth that Christopher Nolan is directing a feminist version that never happens. The so-called feminist version which I've heard is not really feminist.
It's just a good translation by a woman because these guys are wait for it a bunch of closet cases like oh wait I forgot they really have the hots for Sydney Sweeney. They sure would like to mash her potatoes. God you guys are gay.
Um I imagine being in the closet in 2026. Like that's an L. That's a flop. But yeah so get ready for them to hate things in a new way which is to like things with no love.
To like things only as a competition. To only like Spider-Man because you destroyed. Supergirl.
Can you imagine eating dinner with you? What are you going to put on every single meal you have? Salt. Because it destroys horseradish sauce. Horseradish sauce was never in competition with salt.
Everybody uses salt on everything. Things you don't have salt in it have salt in it. Don't even get me started on Filipino cuisine and sugar.
Holy fucking shit. They will put sugar in anything. Um but anyway getting back to my point of rambling.
Um uh you're going to see them try to steal positivity um away from people who actually like. Oh getting back to my Orion. When I liked Orion I just said I like Orion.
And there wasn't like Orion destroys Gail Simone's X-Men. I don't have to use something I like to harm something I hate. I also don't need to put them in the same category when they aren't.
Um also there was no bandwagon. There was no oh what side are you on on the Orion YA graphic novel. Nobody was talking about it.
I thought it was actually old. Apparently it just came out. I thought it came out like a year or two ago.
But I think I got confused with the Barda YA graphic novel by the same um artist. So you can like things. And here's the deal.
If you like things you talk about those things you like. When there's never been a hot time to talk about Gattaca. Not even when it came out.
How many times have I mentioned Gattaca? Or Workaholics? Or Expendables? Or Team 7? Or G.I. Joe? Or anything that I like that I like when it's cool to like them. When it's I don't know it's never been a bad time to like G.I. Joe. But like people who like things don't wait for a bandwagon to talk about them.
And people who like things don't use them as a cudgel against something. Spider-Man and Supergirl were never in competition. There was never.
I know there's one dopey clickbait article on like Yahoo News. That said like Supergirl's gonna gross more than Spider-Man. They did that as clickbait dumb fucks.
Nobody actually thought that. Nobody thought it was gonna make half as much as Spider-Man. I think that made a billion.
No no actually it made 927 million. That would bother me as a studio exec. It's like god so close to a billion.
But it's not close enough to round up. Like if it would been like 957 million you can round that up to a billion. 927 that's that's you round down to 900.
Damn that's so close. It's like that uh scene from uh Glen Gary Glen Ross the movie. Where uh uh what was it Alec Baldwin's character.
He's like you know how much I made last year? 997,937 dollars and 97 cents. I'm like dude you were so close to a million. If I it would have been mid-December and I'd be like honey I'm delivering I'm delivering food.
I'm working for Grubhub and Instacart for the last two weeks of the year. So I can cross a million. I'm just I'm so close but I'm not there.
Um but anyway so yeah so Alec Baldwin, Glen Gary, Glen whatever um delivering uh Instacart in 1991. Uh the YA graphic novel by I don't remember her name I think it's Ngozi. Um uh right-wing cunts who hate art pretending to like it when the bandwagon makes that you know profitable.
But they can't actually like things because they're not going to talk about it anytime except for just to talk. One of these guys was like he was talking about the the he was like. And it made a billion dollars.
It's like without your help. You're that's the thing I always thought was weird about sports fans. Like they would act like they helped win the game.
It's like you were watching in your house. Like you weren't even in the stadium cheering. If you're in the stadium cheering you can say like oh I encouraged the players.
Like you do shit. Uh I'll give an exception if you've been like if you've been like there's been a team that's been losing for 30 years and you always stuck by them. And then they're winning this year.
Yeah I'll let you I'll let you have your victory lap on that. But just like all sudden because you know if it would have been bad they would have been like oh see this the funniest thing about is every single thing that happens somehow proves them right. If it would have underperformed whatever that is then they would have said whoa Hollywood destroyed it and super superhero movies are over and I was right about everything.
But then when it's then when it's successful somehow they're still right. When they say Christopher Nolan is making a woke feminist version of the Odyssey and then when the woman who wrote the woke feminist translation which supposedly is not actually woke and feminist it's just kind of translates it well to common English. Then it becomes well see she hates it.
Okay so you just got disproven. How are how is you getting disproven a victory for your side? It should be like hey remember when they said this shit for a fucking year it was never true and we're stupid assholes who make shit up because conservatives want to be told everything's terrible. Anyway turning off the hose I didn't forget anyway thanks for watching bye.

A NEW WAY TO HATE- Liking Popular Thing Isn't Quite The DUNK That Right-Wing YouTubers Think It Is

Yeah. But Drinker was just liking something that was popular. Richard has already shown that liking something that is popular is what chuds like Eric July and Heather Antos do. The drinker was, with Hail Mary, using liking things as a weapon. Richard on the other hand was cool because he was hating something that was popular which is always the chad move of a young zoomer like Richard.

TERMINAL #1- Is Robert Kirkman's NEW Superhero Universe A Sandbox OR Is It A Litterbox?
Transcript:Hi everyone, it's your boy Zach, and this is my review of Terminal One by these guys right here. So this was gonna be an Eric July video because he said something stupid and then right before I was about to do the video he said something else that was stupid and I thought, wait a minute, is this just a guy who says stupid things? Because nobody in mainstream comics considers him to be a real publisher. He's along the lines of whoever it is that publishes the comics you only find in dentist offices.
So anyway, while I was formulatingthatvideo, I started thinking about this comic which I had just readyesterday andhow, and even Jawbreakers, and howactuallyI guess this is gonna turn into a video about Eric July. So Eric July, his latest schtick is notthe Parallel Economy. His latest schtick is like, Mass Appeal, that's from the past.
Nobody can do that shit anymore. It's all about the niche. Yeah, we focusing on the niche.
Okay, so that's another common English word that Eric Julydoes not understand.Niche is not whenyou decide tosell to everyone and then you lose99% of your customers.The remaining customers are not a niche.
Niche is likepaddleboarders. There's a paddleboarding circuit and they follow the waves from, you know, resort to resort andwe're going to create abackpack for paddleboarders that has all their accoutrements. That's a niche.
You starting off with 42,000 customers and ending up with about 600repeat customers a few years later. That's not a niche. That's you losing all of your customers.
But one thing I've been thinking aboutis that, you know, I've been, I think, veryWhat is that?Very forthright about discussing the reality that80, 90% of my sales were not because people just really thought I was the best comic creator ever,but because they wanted to bother Heather Ontos because it was culture warbonds, war bonds as Perch says. And that hurt,but we have to deal with that. We can't just decide thatif I can't win that means nobody can win because people win all the time.
There are massive successes.But one of the things that Eric July said in his video where he called black creators beggars isyou know, it's like you spending all your time trying to play in someone else's sandbox.Why don't you play in my litter box? I mean, that's not exactly what his quote was, but he can'tcomprehend that people would want to work for Marvel in DC because they grew up loving the characters and they wouldn't want to work inhis dogshitLibertariansecessionist alternateTexas that he's created for hisfor his characters.
Okay, I need to make a decision.This is a review of Terminal One or is this talking about something stupid Eric July said. It's a review of Terminal One.
So Igave Terminal One a thumbs upbutit has problems that are baked into it, even though it's doing some witty things.It is not in a fun universe, so it ultimately becomesso what?Okay, so you have theseedgy heroes and there's probably a twist. I think the twist is going to be the teamyou think is the good guys is actually the bad guys.
I think the team you think is the bad guys is actually the good guys.There's a very good head fake. Go check this out.
It's a good book.But ultimately it became a who cares andpart of the reason that people care is because not just that it's a good superherobook. When I started Jawbreakers, it was like everything's woke and I'm gonna make a comic that isn't woke andthe thing is there's very few woke comics.
So how does Jawbreakers stick out? It's a superhero. It's good.Can't really sell it like that.
The appeal ofSpider-Man it's not just that he's Spider-Man. It's that he's in the Marvel Universe and even though they kind ofparcel that off sometimesyou know the Tobey Maguire was basicallySpider-Man was kind of the only superhero around and now they kind of they connect them inkind of weird ways. Like is the Punisher in Spider-Man the same Punisherfrom the movie where he was just slaughtering everybody?Maybe, probably not.
Different dimensions, whatever. Supposedly they're all in the same timeline, but they're very different characters.But it's fun.
It's not just about one character and a couple of thesupporting cast. It's about these wonderfuluniverses that are very rich and we've been going to throughout our lives.So when you start a superhero thing it becomes okay, sowhat's the best it could be?And you could say oh probably the best is something like Invincible which is very popular for decades and now has a popular cartoon.
And the thing is thatthat doesn't exist in a vacuum. That I mean Invincible is basicallySuperman with Peter Parker's personality.Almost every character is some sort of analog to something from Marvel and DC and it can't succeed withoutMarvel and DC.
You need aYou need all those referencesto enjoy it.Now of course there may be exceptions, but generally that's how I look at it. SoJeff Johns and was it Joe Casey?Jeff?Got that completely wrong.
Robert Kirkman. I was thinking about Robert Kirkman, but I said Jeff Johns. Robert Kirkman and Joe Casey.
Andy KubertDave McCaig and a million people doing variant covers. So it's umI'm not gonna say it's okay. I'm not gonna say it's alright.
I'm not gonna say all those sad old man.I'm going to say it's an interesting premise that ultimatelyInstead of saying what if it has you saying so what?See what I did there with the what's it's like a thing.But anyway, so we get introduced to this guy that you think might be the main character.
He's got aYou know, you find out about his powers. It's a weird eyeball thing. You see hiscostume and then he gets killed.
Very early in it. And you're like, oh, okay you did the bit where you make us think this is the main guyAnd then you fake it out and it's actually somebody else. So then we cut to her and you think oh, she's the main character.
SpoilerShe isn't. This one legitimately got me.I thought she was gonna be the main character and then they kill her off and it's kind of an X-Men thingexcept for it's totally an X-Men thing andso whenever theyFind out about people who could have the potential to unlock powers the two teams chase after themLike I said, there's some head fakes.
There's someFun bits, but ultimately it's just a superhero. I don't think superheroes workWithout being in the Marvel Universethe DC Universe orconstantly referencing themI was entertained with this but it becomes a thing of how long am I going to stick around forSomebody's alternate take on superheroes in a universe that isn't fun andTo that my answer would be not very long. I will probably check out one more issueBut um, I just yeah, I think this is also what I call a vegetables comicVegetables is a term.
I came up with back during the cross gymsoKirkman since he's a mega quad zillionaireHe likes to say, you know, oh we started this comp comic five years ago and we're five years ahead andWe have a planned ending and we have all this and we have backgrounds in every panel. It's like I'm gonna fuckYou're not building a bridge I don't need to know that you have you know laminated rivets that won't you knowRustThis is alove thing you either fall in love with something and it's exciting orIt is it and I can see all the little parts of thisI can see the mysterious island and two teamsI think my favorite thing was this eyeball creature that they get their powers from and just readingreading his speechesYou now face maculoxEons of cosmic time bring the moment forward the choice is upon us once morelimitless potential or apocalyptic consequence a blessing or he and he just keeps on going but I was likeYou know what? If you were a cosmic eyeball, yeah, you would probably beYourself. I don't know.
I really really enjoyedThe eyeballs dialogue and there is a good amount of it. It just keeps on goingSo there were surprises when she gets tested for her powers and she ultimatelyFails you're like, oh shit. I didn't see that coming and then you're like, ohIs this one of those clever books where they're like I bet you thought this well, it's actually thisOkay, you did that twice how many more times can you do that without just justExpecting it to happenSo I have this argument with friends and I've seen people do tick tocks about thisIf I was a Trojan soldierDoing my patrols or whateverAnd I found a giant wooden horseAt the same place that the enemies had been I would sayThere's people inside thereBecause what else would it be? Why would you build a giant horse except for to hide people inside it?Now this is these are the days before bombs I think they had like what was that called st.
Elmo's fire and stuff like thatSo I would have said this is some kind ofPestilence like it's filled with you knowInfected chickens or something like that. I would sayBurn that but don't get close to itWe're gonna shootArrows that we're going to light on fireAnd then we're going to make sure we're not downwind and then we're just going to avoid this because this is a hundred percent a trapSo I and people are always like, oh, it's so easy to say that it's like I feel like most people would assumeIt was a trap. IKnow they do different things like oh, this is a peace offering.
This was an offering to the godsIt was an apology to Apollo or whateverIt just seems like there's room for people inside of that thingAnd I can just burn itWe can burn that thing from 200 yards away with the with the longbows. Yeah, just burn the motherfuckerThen we'll kind of sift through the ashes. Oh, no, there's yeahThere's about 20 guys in there a lot of poop to a lot of poopBy the way, if you think you're slick because you're gonna talk about the poop and the pee inside the Trojan horseThey literally have a line of dialogue about thatAnd they're not fancy.
I think they literally call it piss and shitBut yeah, soThis is a good comic. I had fun reading it, but IDon't I I don't want to followThis world it's not a fun world. I think I've made jawbreakers a pretty fun worldBut again, it completely requires you to knowMarvel and DC pretty well, and that's the enjoyOkay, and I'm the most popular person in the world as soon as I get thisWow, that's no Wow everybodyEverybody who's ever known me is texting me during this 10 minutes.
But um, yeah, I'm really good artagain, I ohI don't think I explained the vegetables the vegetables is like we we worked really hard and we did everything right. Don't you love us?no, ILove this shitty house freaking Rob LiefeldNew Mutants issue that he drew in like five days. IDon't know.
I can't explain it. I admire you people. You all did a good job.
You really wanted it to be excellentbut it justIsn't so I don't know what to say. I thinkI think the independence should be independent. Yeah, you can do stuff like Ninja Turtles is what you started as aParody ofWhat Ronin and Daredevil Frank Miller?But it very quickly became its own thing.
I don't consider that to be a superhero universe. I consider that to be aweird fantasyfurry universeUm, but likeNinja Turtles, that's a great example of someone being inspired by mainstream comics doing their own thingAnd then it becoming sort of its own mainstreambut umReverse sucks. It's not called.
It's not cool to call people beggars just because they want to play in a sandbox that everybody lovesmeanwhile your alternative isWhich with hat and detective with hat?Jesus he was explainingHe's got this pimp character who clearly looks like a pimp a blaxploitation character called salvageThere was this whole bit with Stan Lee co-created this character called ravage and he was supposed to be a hero andJohn Byrne was trying to explain to him like that's not that's not a heroUm, but he was like he's like, you know, the Ripper was got a lot of characters. Let me tell you aboutthis a private investigator they got a lot of those calledsalvage and then all he said he just showed a picture of Stevie Ray Vaughn wearing that hat someblues guitarists who kind of had like a zoot suit and then he showed a picture of Dick Tracy likeIs this a lookbook you didn't tell me anything about the character you didn't tell me how you came up with the characteryou didn't explain how yourlibertarian secessionist alternate version ofTexas is some sort ofInviting deep place. There was a period of time with Jawbreakers where I didn't know that worldand so I was kind of likeExploring it very slowly and now I know that world.
It's just basically the Marvel Universe with different namesSpecifically the Marvel Universe around 1990 and I'm fine with that. I'm very excited theKind of crazy job Rick's Jawbreakers contingency should go out soon. And for people saying like hey Zach, why is it not going out?I've covered this a million times.
I have a dozen different spreadsheets that IDid not breadcrumb properly so I'm having to go through them line by line andCross checking themso that the master list isAnd then I'm gonna have to likerandomly select lines and then email people andthen decide like okay, well, you know, Iemailed a hundred people out of the4,000 linesCan I say can I extrapolate what I think is what I'm gonna do is I'm going to fulfill these in batchesSo if I send out the same the first batch and a lot of people were like, oh you got my order wrongThen I just shit. I'll have to freaking start over I guessIt's a lot of work, but anyway Jawbreakers contingency took so long thatCannibal America is like one page away from being doneSo I have some interesting plans for both cannibal America which is one page away from being done andCostume maniac which is drawn and it's currently being colored. But anyway, go check out terminalHey, it's uh, actually I think this first issue was like seven bucks or something like thatIs it a recommend though should I rescind that thumbs up theI'mNo, I'm not reviewing the entire future of this seriesI'm just reviewing this issue and this issue was fun and interesting and surprised metwiceCan it do it in the second and third issueMaybe we'll see I'm definitely gonna check out the next issue.
Anyway, thanks for watching
[SPOILER/]
So anyway, while I was formulatingthatvideo, I started thinking about this comic which I had just readyesterday andhow, and even Jawbreakers, and howactuallyI guess this is gonna turn into a video about Eric July. So Eric July, his latest schtick is notthe Parallel Economy. His latest schtick is like, Mass Appeal, that's from the past.
Nobody can do that shit anymore. It's all about the niche. Yeah, we focusing on the niche.
Okay, so that's another common English word that Eric Julydoes not understand.Niche is not whenyou decide tosell to everyone and then you lose99% of your customers.The remaining customers are not a niche.
Niche is likepaddleboarders. There's a paddleboarding circuit and they follow the waves from, you know, resort to resort andwe're going to create abackpack for paddleboarders that has all their accoutrements. That's a niche.
You starting off with 42,000 customers and ending up with about 600repeat customers a few years later. That's not a niche. That's you losing all of your customers.
But one thing I've been thinking aboutis that, you know, I've been, I think, veryWhat is that?Very forthright about discussing the reality that80, 90% of my sales were not because people just really thought I was the best comic creator ever,but because they wanted to bother Heather Ontos because it was culture warbonds, war bonds as Perch says. And that hurt,but we have to deal with that. We can't just decide thatif I can't win that means nobody can win because people win all the time.
There are massive successes.But one of the things that Eric July said in his video where he called black creators beggars isyou know, it's like you spending all your time trying to play in someone else's sandbox.Why don't you play in my litter box? I mean, that's not exactly what his quote was, but he can'tcomprehend that people would want to work for Marvel in DC because they grew up loving the characters and they wouldn't want to work inhis dogshitLibertariansecessionist alternateTexas that he's created for hisfor his characters.
Okay, I need to make a decision.This is a review of Terminal One or is this talking about something stupid Eric July said. It's a review of Terminal One.
So Igave Terminal One a thumbs upbutit has problems that are baked into it, even though it's doing some witty things.It is not in a fun universe, so it ultimately becomesso what?Okay, so you have theseedgy heroes and there's probably a twist. I think the twist is going to be the teamyou think is the good guys is actually the bad guys.
I think the team you think is the bad guys is actually the good guys.There's a very good head fake. Go check this out.
It's a good book.But ultimately it became a who cares andpart of the reason that people care is because not just that it's a good superherobook. When I started Jawbreakers, it was like everything's woke and I'm gonna make a comic that isn't woke andthe thing is there's very few woke comics.

YBZ is just as bad if not worse than EVS when it comes to envy involving Eric July. They're BOTH insane.

BMW is no small manufacturer and while I don't think most of the egregious things are in the US, they do things like charge for the equalizer on your car stereo, high beam assist, all sorts of things. Without public outrage, it would no doubt be here as well and probably will eventually.

I didn't even realize he was still running the "I'm a small kawai comics publisher uwu" con game. He used to lead most of his videos with that. I always figured it was because that was the important thing his was doing and gossiping about woke stuff was just content to draw people to his channel. Oh, maybe he's doing more with the con again because he's starting to feel a financial pinch. If so, good.
