#Comicsgate - The Culture Wars Hit The Funny Books!

[Interchanger]

I'm halfway though watching a third stream of Frog obsessing over the mythical Az and this is just getting tiring. Az is a random toy reviewer with zero investment in comicsgate and the personality of a cum sock. What is it about this bitter, thin-skinned Rian Johnson-looking mush-mouthed adult child that's so worth being friends with? I had never even heard Frog speak his name before this "debacle" and now it's as if he's lost a lifelong friend. This feels more forced than Randy from That 70's Show.

Honestly fuck The Fandom Menace. Fuck Az. Fuck Gary. Fuck FNT, whatever that is. All of these people are the definition of zeroes. It's frankly unhealthy. Middle aged, socially awkward, developmentally arrested ego maniacs, sitting atop kingdoms of dirt, parasitizing off megacorporations they openly despise. Frog's tweet from yesterday hit the nail on the head. These people were raised by media. It's probably all they have in their personal lives. Even most of the comicsgate weirdos have wives and kids. They can walk away from this shit and enjoy a barbecue by the pool. I don't think Fandom Menace people can nessicarily do that. So as bad as the media gets, they'll still be there, because without it they have nothing. No more parasocial relationships, no more superchats, no more gay ops. Just a bunch of aimless people, disenfranchised by the media that formed them, and unable to eke out an identity beyond the parameters of that disappointment.

I'm glad I'm someone who can have a piece of media ruined for them by a single line of dialogue or a single costume design. That artistic OCD made it easy for me to internalize that Star Wars was effectively over the moment I walked out of The Force Awakens. I didn't have to sit there and search for silver linings and come up with plot-saving fan theories and carefully divert my eyes from the ever-increasing signs of wokeness and peel through side media looking for something, anything that would make this constitute good storytelling. I was just done. I moved on with my life. I can't imagine the level of cognitive dissonance involved in maintaining that mental tightrope walk for six years. But that's the Fandom Menace.

My thoughts exactly. They've been fighting the 'good fight' since 2015 and it's gone nowhere. I hate what Hollywood is, I don't like there content. I don't buy it, I vote with my wallet and walk away. These guys literally made complaining about what they don't like from these megacorps into there jobs. It's frankly sad.

There are so many works of fiction, it not like theres some drought. Foreign Films, Indie, New Book Series, Independent Comics, all of Japan.

I think this is a similar situation to the old angry reviewer, shit was a trend that got old and boiled down to a grown arse adult playing salior moon dress up in front of some shit camera making unfunny jokes. These clowns sit in a hoval filed with merch and read click bait articles.

You have to accept that it isn't for your benefit. It's for the mouthbreathing and/or socially retarded portions of the overlapping FNT/EVS fanbase. These are the people who hear AZ fart his way through his little stump speech about being owed a personal apology and then run to Ethan saying "I hate drama, I can't handle it, here is AZ's email address, please resolve this the way AZ demanded you to so I can get past my anxiety about it." They have to have to be spoonfed. They have no way to comprehend why Ethan would rightfully say "no, fuck this clown" unless he turns it into a play that they can follow.

Just enjoy the play Ethan puts on for these dummies. There's a lot of craft that goes into it and it's pretty fun.

As someone who is a regular viewer of fnt the drama that Gary keeps prodding seems dumb to me. Gary doing his Nooner streams trying to reiterate to himself "I'm above drama because I'm an adult" while constantly prodding the situation further has gotten old. They had to go looking for a comment to get offended by, they are pretending they aren't butt hurt that a comic artist they look up to made a comment about their jerk off show, all of them have too big of an ego to just drop it and move on.

AZ is being a faggot. Gary is purposefully prodding the drama to keep it going, jeremy is trying to pretend to be hands off so he can play the part of the uninvolved party, Odin and the rest of the jerk off crew are just there repeating whatever the real show hosts tell them to. They should give up on their feud or actually have their kayfabe resolution soon.

I didn't even hear about Ethan's comments except in this thread. I can't imagine the general audience even knows what the fuck is going on.

Razorfist mentioned missing EVS's appearance in last week's livestream chat. Are we witnessing a new alliance forming? EVS to Viva and Barnes when?

For Ethan even though he deleted his post. It's just Razor berating his poor sexboi Terran for being naughty.

 

[Starscreams Cape]

The hilarious thing is that AZ and everyone else on that panel sat by and said nothing when Ryan Kinel called Doomcock and all of his fans retards. You can make a case that Kinel is the only non-zero on the panel based on that alone. I guess on first blush it's okay to slam other TFM "celebs" and their fans.

The good news is that you can pencil in an inevitable split between Gary and Az because now we know what a monstrous ego Az has. I think the guy does a show bagging and boarding comics and he just refused to accept any of ten apologies from the guy who drew some of the best of those comics. Pretty soon AZ will be grumbling "why can't we rotate FNT on my channel?" or shit like that.

Of all people, LIAM GRAY is calling Matt Crott's his new ANTI-CHRIST. I was able to download it before he has already privated it.

 

[Pilule Noire]

^LMAO Testy, some context would help people appreciate this. I saw what happened, basically Liam had been streaming before this and Matt C chatted him about 'Lords of Iron' a great new robot-mecha channel - leaving out the unimportant fact that it was Preston's new channel. Heheh! Liam had it up on his screen for ages.

Then later Liam would have checked it out, and gotten a surprise faceful of Preston. So this video above is Liam raging out about being pranked like this by Matt Crotts. He is on Liam's enormous enemies list now! But more importantly, he's also made my exceedingly tiny list, of CGers who are cool.

My issue with Gary and his minions is at some point is it a real opinion or are they playing the role of Skip Bayless on Fox Sports, a hot take designed to get engagement from viewers? There's still this sense that they are searching for another Last Jedi moment. According to Gary, WandaVision sucked, Falcon and Winter Solider sucked, Loki sucks, Black Widow sucks. At some point, maybe go consume something else? Maybe? Also, M-She-U is bullshit branding for twitter fools to use as a hashtag. Its cringe. Frog is right that Gary propped up some idiot youtubers. Too much group think, too much grifting for super chats, nothing of value to actually watch or listen to.

I paid zero bucks for it but Wandavision was good overall, Falcon and Winter Soldier was an incompetent mess, Black Widow sucked more than a pornstar trying to break the bukkake participant world record and I am in no hurry to watch Loki.

yeah I haven’t heard one good thing about Black Widow. And the the timeline is confusing cuz it’s supposed to take place after Endgame… or so I’ve heard. I’ve heard good things about Falcon and Winter Soldier so, that’s kind a of a mixed bag.

 

[Unverified]

And the the timeline is confusing cuz it’s supposed to take place after Endgame

My understanding was that it takes place after Civil War when Black Widow was on the lam for letting Cap go. I have no intention to watch it, so I can't tell you for sure.

Oops oh yeah. That’s what I meant. I don’t know why I was thinking of Endgame. NVM the timeline makes sense now.

This is correct. I did a review days ago when it was relevant. I watched it at 10.30am on opening day at the cinema I thought it was very good. Lots of ass and lots of action peppered with occasional Soviet Union references. What more could I ask for?

I can understand people watching at home on TV finding it less enjoyable. And I can understand people boycotting Disney for reasons too multiple to be worth listing. These people offering criticisms without even having seen the movie, or hating for hating sake... Twats.

Like there are legitimate criticisms of the movie that could be made. But nobody is actually making them.

Most of the movie is after Civil War, the post-credit sequence is after Endgame.
The movie exists to establish Natasha;s sister. The critical drinker had a pretty accurate review about it.

Well, the movie has a very jumbled script, the characters are underused, the ass is not as impressive, the emotional parts hardly hit me and the theme of patriarchy exploiting young girls reminded me that no other avenger had a movie aroung him being a man and at no point was Natasha treated as "the woman" of the group in the previous movies.
The family part is one of the redeeming parts of the movie, the casting is very spot on and there are some great action scenes (especially with Taskmaster) early on.
Basically it is the issues F&WS had, because they tried to do Winter Soldier only without great direction.

While I am not the "get woke fo broke" Marvel getting inexperienced women directors to do their films does not seem to work, especially because there is little momentum at the moment.
If BW came out right after Civil War it would be OK and people would be excited to see where it goes from there.
As it is post-Endgame, it is just a sidestory that came too late and ends with the promise of maybe spinning off into another Disney+ series about the one Avenger nobody GAFs about.

And there is of course the issue that we all know Natasha will soon be dead.

That tends to take away interest in seeing a movie about them from an earlier time.

Been away from the circus for a while and now I don't recognise any of the clowns...so it's a joy to seem Liam is still doing his thing.

TexasAutism™ strikes again! Latest pearls of wisdom from Ya Boi Simple Zack:

* Backers should just learn to enjoy funding the process of making a comic because delivery of the book is not actually guaranteed (!!!!)
* People who're angry will just be angry no matter what
* He acknowledges that he has lost some customers but doesn't care because he has gained new ones
* He's sticking with his new policy of hearting only the comments on his videos that kiss his ass

Getting buck-broken by Mark Waid seems to have caused irreversible brain damage...

BW takes place after Civil War but features an epilogue that will tie into the upcoming Hawkeye show as Black Widow II is recruited by the Countess to kill Hawkeye, who the Countess wants dead for some reason.

I watched that video the other day. He also claims that a lot of the backlash he is getting from the overdue Expendables book is from normies who don't understand how crowdfunding comics work.

SERIOUSLY???? Wow, he is worse than I thought. Fuck you, Zack.

His dumb fanboys might as well burn their hard earned money or buy a woke Marvel/DC comic book (at least it's cheaper and the art is better).
