I am not versed in some of your more pulp style characters, but didn't Conan start as a book series much like John Carter?

Short stories. He's the most famous creation of Robert E. Howard, who also gave us Solomon Kane, Kull the Conqueror, and Bran Mak Morn. None of the movies bear much resemblance to what those stories were like, and the comics, as I understand it, were actually more faithful. Goes back to the 1930s, which you will note rather predates Marvel.

I'll never not be amazed at how his ideas are both unoriginal and unfilmable.
*BZZZT* DC did it! (I think it even had a trans in it - only "think" because I have no idea what's the definition or qualifiers of being trans nowadays)

Not the brightest one in the bunch, eh chipman?
In terms of stellar classification, he is analogous to a red dwarf that is only visible with a telescope.

Equating "diversity" with being an awkward outcast, huh Bob? Sounds a little racist to me.

So in Bob's "new improved" version of "Revenge of the Nerds", the Bad Guy jocks are highly intelligent programmers with mad entrepreneurial skills who are materially successful while the "nerds" are socially awkward rejects who sperg out about pop culture, but essentially have no marketable skills. In the original ROTN movie, the nerds were themselves highly talented with computers and had all sorts of practical skills - the conflict of the movie was that they were continuously overshone and bullied by the Jocks, who had only raw power and charisma, and the movie was saying that this was a bad thing. That our society was disordered because it couldn't recognize the achievements of the intelligent because it was too dazzled by the bluff, boorish spectacle of the strong, but stupid.
But in Bob's version of ROTN, the intelligent people who build things and transform the world are now the bad guys, because they overshine the non-achievements of the autists who screech about TV shows and capeshit movies in their parent's basements. This isn't Revenge of the Nerds, Bob. It's Revenge of the Spergs.

Bob just wants to play the main character and fuck the jock's girlfriend while wearing a Darth Vader mask.

Blob's ignorance of the topics that are supposed to form the basis of his field as a pop-culture critic never fails to astonish (or possibly just amuse) me. Not only is Conan not high fantasy (as mentioned earlier, it's sword-and-sorcery), it's one of the archetypical examples (alongside the Lord of the Rings) of low fantasy: it's set during the Hyborian Age, on our very own earth - exactly the definition of low fantasy.
But then, he made a career, albeit pitiful, off claiming expertise on comics after skimming their Wikipedia articles, so nothing has changed.

I think we should all praise Chris Chipman (And to a lesser extent Dede Crimmins) for extensively photographing Bob's decline.
Now I'm imagining Bob as a door-to-door salesman tying to hawk copies of Brick by Brick.

Poor Chris, the top of his head's getting shinier by the minute.
Bob just looks bizarre with that one strip of baldness. It's like he tried waxing off the pathetic remains of his hair but gave up after the first strip.

Even if isn't Mario related, I feel his mushroom shirt is a reference to the franchise.
