Peak Review

So what's going on lately in the world of marvel and dc

>>47110
Marvel - Hiterlite cringe stuff in cap book as usual

Spider-man #1000 coming up, MJ is Venom

Thor is a mortal again with amensia and uses a sling and hammer as his weapons (Peak by Ewing)

X-Men, same old same old

DC is killing it with Absolute line
Marvel's Ultimate line is coming to an end, other than Ultimates, nothing has been consistently good

>>47110
Absolute is okay-to-good, everything else is crap.
Begging people to read non-Big 2 stuff, the medium needs to be set free.

>planting potatoes on someone else's property is better than owning your own plot of land because of eminent domain
you know that eminent domain (usually) means you get compensated for your land, right? also check out the permaculture thread, which is really just a gardening thread >>33648

I'd do sunchokes/Jerusalem Artichokes. Similar to potatoes in that they produce tubers but they grow like weeds, spread aggressively, have edible foliage and is native to much of the US. They need full sun so forests might not be the ideal growing location but they get tall so you can plant it in overgrown areas and it will compete for light just fine. They're sunflowers and lesser known so they might fly under people's radar even if spotted

use a preexisting game engine

don't listen to the person above me, game engines are too limiting, you should use a framework instead. preferably one based around c++, or even just c. actually, forget that, you should just program everything on assembly like the guy who made rollercoster tycoon

jokes aside i think godot is the best engine for beginners. unity was/is going through an enshitfication process and unreal is just too much bloat

> I just kinda want to put my ideas for characters and world building into something
write short stories

>>24808
You mean the Ghibli one?

>>29025
>>24808
You mean the Miyazaki one, made by his son?

Would Star Trek be considered Utopian sci-fi? I think it fits.

Pic restored

two good kinds of sci fi:

1. so hard it's basically just a drama
   
2. so soft it's basically just a fantasy
   
   

anything in between those 2 extremes tends to be dull

a shameless self bump but also some information

I don't think anyone cares, Jack.

very good

And last resort because this will spread disease although you can lower the risk by cooking it; Excrement, as in literal shit and piss

>>47503
You can treat excrement so that it no longer has diseases but still has the good stuff.

What this won't take care of though is heavy metals and other stuff that bioaccumulates in the human body, but there are ways of getting that stuff out of the soil too. Sunflowers are generally pretty good at sucking up everything in soil so they can be used to help reduce contaminants (just make sure that once they are grown you go bury them somewhere else to help return the contents to the sedimentary layer).

I find a lot of youtube efforts to be pretty inspiring and refreshing, like Lackadaisy for example

I recently watched the Dreamworks Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken Movie. It was pretty lame to be honest, and it's entire plot feels like a femcel movie where beautiful girls are evil and "ugly" non-traditionally beautiful girls are hidden beauties in a lazy "be yourself" message. It's a plot that has existed for a long time, but in this particular film it's quite a step over something like Heathers.
They were REALLY banking on discount Ariel to bring in tickets out of spiting Disney and it justifiably lost a lot more money simply because the movie was terrible looking and had a very mediocre story to begin with.
Now I've never liked yurishit because it's almost never good, but unironically I think the movie (probably) wouldn't have flopped (as hard) if it actually was a romance between Ruby and Chelsea instead of whatever nonsense it turned out to be. Sure some people wouldn't like a lesbian movie but if it's done tastefully it'd be at least interesting. Hell it has a typical "enemies to friends/lovers" vibe.
Also, it had a really bad schedule to release in movie theaters all around. The new Spiderverse movie just hit cinemas and was destroying the box office in money and the Mario movie was released to home video after it made a world record for highest grossing animated movie yet. Production wise it is a significant downgrade from Puss in Boots 2. But at least it has something for the fetish-audience; giantess, tentacles, etc.

TL;DR: It's a typical teen drama movie but as one review for it said, there's a simpler, more sincere movie underneath it all that seems to be taunting audiences, like a glowing shape from deep below. If they took some more time to streamline the story it would have been pretty good I think, though the art style was frankly too janky and Illumination-tier rubbery. It's similar to Turning Red tbh, an interesting concept playing with mythologies within a modern human society, but its done horribly. Cheap girl movies like Aquamarine were better executed than this.

Sorry to necropost here, but a few corrections:

• I think it’s unfair to paint the same brush on the examples used. Like Gumball shows tons of diversity in terms of animations styles (e.g., Gumball being a 2D cat, Tina being a 3D dinosaur, etc…) since it is supposed to be a surrealistic comedy.
  
  
• I think the style being so similar has less to do with “CalArts” and moreso with how the cited authors all worked on Adventure Time or similar productions that pioneered the “toonboom” style (e.g., the creators of Steven Universe and Regular Show having similar styles due to previously having worked in animating Adventure Time).
  
  
• Specifically with regards to She-Ra, the princesses are supposed to be minors at the start of the story, so it’s understandable why they are less curvaceous or adult-morphic compared to the previous iterations of the She Ra series
  
  
• As for the style taking over Tumblr, I can’t say for sure why, but I think it has to do with how easy and time-saving it is to replicate it on a digital format as well as animate it fluidly compared to the more anime style (e.g., Monsuno) which would require more time as well as better understanding of human anatomy that may be a hurdle for less seasoned artists.
  
  

I’m not trying to take away from your criticism, just that a few clarifications are needed. Of course, fast forward to 2026, now you have Netflix commissioning anime productions like Castlevania and DMC, Invincible airing on Amazon Prime with great acclaim, so we may see a shift away from it as far as adult animation goes, but that’s just a hunch.

Ah thanks. I just saw someone say that he was done with comics in an exhentai comment, but I wasn't able to find any dis/confirmation.

>>47355
First time seeing this. Lovely, lovely art and a nice story to boot. Teared up a bit when Alfie and Vera finally reunited, only for Alfie to tear my heart out by being such a bitch. Glad she came around.
Been so long that I can't say why but the comic made me nostalgic for Bone, might try and re-read that

>And lydia really didnt strike me as a 4 children kind of gal
She didnt really choose to have kids, she is just the only character who keeps having sex with men of her own species.
