Seeing how there’s multiple /co/ related threads on the board. I think we should just put all of them into one general just for clarity’s sake.

Discuss anything related to comics and animations from comic recs, leftist animations to comic writers’ attempts to larp as leftists.

Seriously is there a worse anarchist in the UK than Alan Moore?

>>1328
/co/ is a separate board entirely on most chans, lumping all cartoons into 1 thread is rather dumb, even with the reduced post rate

I think Vendeta is a pretty cool guy. Eh kills prokys and doesn't afraid of anything.

>>1334
The story itself is pretty decent but it showed Alan Moore for being a liberal LARPer under all that “punk anarchist” facade.
>Made comic to sell merchandise using anarchist aesthetics
>Got in the big game, tried to do the same with capeshit and public owned IPs
>Fucked over by DC, became bitter anarcho paganist

>you are anti capitalist yet you use money, interesting

>>1338
There’s a difference from being a wageslave in a capitalist society while being a leftist and actively making money larping as an anarchist anon.
That’s like comparing a normal trade unionist and a porky selling Che shirts from a sweat shop.

Based. DC really have a shit ton of good D-lister international capes but somehow they just keep coming back to their bread & butter of batwanking. And now that King’s run has properly tanked Batman sales and Bendis running amok. DC’s any creativity is as good as dead.
And this is coming from a guy who always pirate big 2 comics.

Utilitarianism is just the retarded phil101 version of consequentialism. If outcome is what you care about, the first thing you need to do is think outside the box in terms of how you can influence it. Utilitarians settle for "good enough" i.e. outcomes where an action is justified, when if you were actually a consequentialist you should be concerned with the best outcome you can reasonably achieve.

Instead of accepting the limits imposed by a moral dilemma like the trolley problem, a consequentialist imperative is to find a way to produce better results. Just pull the emergency brake. "But you can't do that," the Kantians whine. The only reason you can't is because the dilemma is constructed to prevent alternate solutions. In any context where moral dilemmas matter (i.e. real life) there are plenty of outside factors that can be leveraged to change the course of events. This has to be stripped away for philosophical expediency (both to make the thought experiments efficient and to disguise the philosophical paucity), and utilitarians accept the framing uncritically.

Should Batman kill the Joker? Of course, but it's really quite a minor question next to what he should do about rampant poverty, crime, and capitalism. Batman should kill Joker with his bare hands, not even wasting a bullet. He should put his almost limitless resources into funding measures to end crime at its roots, which is to say by fighting capitalism. Batman wields immense power both by virtue of his wealth and his personal attributes. He is therefore culpable for how he puts these to use. A sane moral or ethical perspective would have him do practically anything else besides beat up lumpens for fun.

Most of what's good out of the Nu52 sold terribly because of the lack of advertising and WB being the unscubulous fucks that they are let most of the writers be pushed under harras and didio (who did the most corporate cocksucking) be in charge.
I'm still pissed that Morrison got fucked over just for Snyder to remake his run again.
I also love how /co/ usually love this kind of mild leftist comics. But just like their retarded cousins over on /v/, once /pol/ discovered it and starts to raid the board, they retroactively pretend to hate it from the start.

>>1456
Oh how great Capitalism is for the arts… Creativity, don't you see! We wouldn't have all this great "entertainment" were it not for Capitalism!

>>1455
I partially agree and partially disagree but am too lazy to write out the hows and whys. Good effortpost regardless.

>>1457
Funnily enough, most entertainment in a capitalist society exist in spite of commodification and not because of it. But its consummers and producers are usually ironically the most reactionary idiots there are.
This also lead to the sad case of Steve Ditko who was an adamant Objectivist (kek) that later died pennyless because he got fucked over by the same people he worship as deserving to fuck him over.

Me: The focus on simplistic good vs evil superhero narratives being pushed on us is dumbing down the population

>A sane moral or ethical perspective would have him do practically anything else besides beat up lumpens for fun.
except he literally does that like all the time?

I'm thinking of story-timing Alex Ross's War on Crime on the Batman thread, I think it's one of the best stories that deals with the "Batman it's just some fascist who punches poor people but does nothing to help them" shallow criticism.

>>1501
Yeah the writers lazily handwave this criticism by making Wayne some super philanthropist but how can Gotham still be so bad if he's really putting his full effort into making it better? He's like the number one employer in the city and he's a billionaire. If he really wanted to help Gotham he should run for mayor himself.

Also: this argument for why Wayne is so great for giving up a small portion of his wealth is just the same as arguing that Bill Gates is some saint among men for giving away billions when he literally gets richer every year.

The surplus value Wayne steals from the poor of Gotham must be infinitely larger than the money he gives away otherwise he wouldn't be a billionaire anymore.

>>1502
I think it's like that anon from the fantasy thread said, you have to separate ideology from the media you consume and believe there's a world in which a good billionaire can help people without some sort of ulterior motive. Otherwise you'll end up like Adornofags and claim literally everything is fascist.

>>1502
I truly hate the handwave shit comic writers retroactively do to make their “heroic” characters past incarnation not a fascist or a parody of one. Reminds me of how GW slowly from 3rd edition onwards turn the Imperium parody of fascism into something inherently necessary in setting through retcons.
The only time I see this get truly addressed with a character is with O’Neil’s Question where after getting btfo’ed so hard, Victor straight up has to realize that Objectivism is garbage and cut it out.
>>1500

Isn’t this the same pathetic idiot that sperged out of DC when they asked him to draw Kyle? The guy like Darwyn Cooke and him are reaction manchildren who have an idealistic view of superheroes as a genre.

>>1500

While I agree that the "Batmon just punches people and don't help" is an oversimplification, your screencap is capitalist apologism, see pic related.

Also please do post the War on Crime in the Batman thread, I'm interested.

>>1508
Kinda hilarious how it feels like something the feds would fund to ghost write, but it's actually from Bush era US (kinda running with the hard Korean war apologia of the early 2000s like the Grand Torino film).

The US assassinated Iranian Brigadier General Qassem Soleimani which pretty much the leader of Iran’s efforts in beating ISIS. Now that they realized they fucked up, Trump and his administration are backpedaling hard.

>>1502
>Yeah the writers lazily handwave this criticism by making Wayne some super philanthropist but how can Gotham still be so bad if he's really putting his full effort into making it better?
Because comic writers have no understanding of the political economy and the causes of crime. To them it's Satan or Chaos leaking in from a parallel dimension and the only thing to do about it is beat it up literally with your physical hands.

>>1501
If batman wants to take personal responsibility for the shithole that is Gotham, as both a billionaire and a vigilante, then he needs to take responsibility for the results or lackthereof. Funnily enough, if he found a way to successfully fight, there would be no story to serialize in the first place. Damn, it's crazy, like the capitalist mode of production incentivizing continuous sales is a direct disincentive to telling any story other than maintenance of the status quo and drawing it out as long as possible.

>>1520
Yeah I was aware of that, the question was about when did the DPRK do something similar like that

Why is non-burger comics so much superior? The writing might be similar but the ideas and art is just so much better in every way.

>>1573
Could it be that not having to sell like crazy has something to do with this?

>>1573
>>1574
The thing is this is the opposite of the modern comic market. The Euro comic scene (specifically France and Italy) has been consistently the second largest market for comics being only behind the manga scene. While comic sales have been going down each year.

>>1578
That's probably because all American comics are the exact same and it's a miserable race to the bottom. Besides Marvel/DC don't even have to make comics anymore, they're making so much money from movies/videogames/merch that it's not worth the effort.

>>1581
You’re right. Both publishers have been gutted by their masters and turned into IP farms.
DC got hit especially hard with this last year. Where most of their higher ups were replaced by corporate woke suits who just let Harras and Didio do what ever they want as long as they keep pushing the Bat, Joker and Harley. Which backfired spectacularly with Heroes in Crisis.
Marvel is now under the reign of a weeb who just can’t stop pumping out shitty sequels to their popular events. There’s been like what 3 Civil Wars and 3 Spiderverse already!
But once in a while there’s still some good gems like the recent Hillhouse books or Dial H for example.

>>1328
Since this thread is dying. May I present to you the greatest golden age comic ever. Truly the height of American schizophrenia.

Stardust The Mothefucking Super Wizard!


>>1681
It’s also great because it’s already in public domain so anyone can make their version of Stardust.

>>1682
The story about the author of this also very sad as well. Apparently he’s also one of hundreds of ghost artists and writers like Bill Finger that got scammed out off profits by grifters of the time and later died penniless on a park bench.



>>1685
Most of the grotesque faces are also apparently based on the writer himself as he basically lived most of his life a depressed alcoholic.

>>1686
Which made it a great source of getting reaction images.

>>1687
And that’s it for today. Hope ya like it.

This is from the recent GL mini as one of the “bad timelines”. Pretty based if I’d say so myself.

>>1573
>Why is non-burger comics so much superior
Because they have a long history of folk-tales and writing heroes, while burger-land does not. Russia is not very good with comic-book heroes either, and until recently hasn't even bothered trying since it does not fit their culture.

>>2476
>Because they have a long history of folk-tales and writing heroes
I would say this is debatable. LatAm countries before and after the era of military dictatorship have a vibrant comic scene even when their culture only get the chance to shine in the post-colonial era. So much so that the US still uses it as a method to push their propaganda.

>>2477
> LatAm countries before and after the era of military dictatorship have a vibrant comic scene
By America everyone is obviously referring to the US/Canadian comic scene - Marvel and DC and other such mainstream capeshit.

>>2478
That other poster's point is: Having a long history of folk-tales and writing heroes is not necessary for having a vibrant scene of comics that aren't capeshit.

>>2479
>Having a long history of folk-tales and writing heroes is not necessary for having a vibrant scene of comics that aren't capeshit.
LatAm does have a long history of folktales and heroes tho. and has heavy european inluence.

The comic is better but it’s as liberal as it comes. With “muh gulags”, “muh Stalin”, “muh commies lobotomy” (even though the Soviet Union were the first ones to abolish that barbaric practice”, “anarchy mean no rulez”,… strung about endlessly. The movie is even worse being straight up anti communist propaganda. The motion comic on YouTube is still there and it’s a more faithful adaptation.

Simple question with a simple answer: The 1950s Comics Code Authority

Like >>1578 said, comics sales per capita in every other continent (Europe, Asia, South America, Africa) are far higher, with the much-vaunted comics utopia of Japan actually just being somewhat above average compared to anywhere but burgerstan. Even American non-capeshit, like Disney's Mickey Mouse comics, are actually more prosperous outside the USA than within it where they are completely unknown.

Pre-Code, American comics were a massive industry, spanning every imaginable genre, format, and demographic audience, this was the [b]"Golden Age"[/b].

Then Frederick Wertham, aided by the Red Scare, published "Corruption of the Innocent" as part of a moral panic crusade aimed at destroying the comic industry. Of course, this ended up succeeding in part because of willing support from inside parts of the comics industry itself, such as DC's capeshit and the newspapers' syndicated funny strips.

Having killed off everything other than capeshit & newspaper strips, this launched the [b]"Silver Age"[/b] of bland, unambitious, safe, marketable, comics. This worked for maybe a generation, from the 1950s into the 1960s, until the burgerstani comic industry's audience of small children and disinterested newspaper readers outgrew any serious interest in the skeletal remnants of the medium that had been allowed to survive under the CCA.

Hence, during the 1970s, readership imploded, and the rotten industry collapsed. In a fit of desperation, the CCA was dismantled. Hamfisted attempts to shove "important" messages were made to sell capeshit as socially relevant, comics turned inward, trying to establish themselves as a niche medium for geeks with soap opera-esque crossover continuity gimmicks, or appealing as a collectible "investment" vehicle off nostalgia bait like baseball cards were doing at the time. But none of it worked, it was far too late to save anything of worth, decades of the capeshit monoculture had completely sterilized the medium of any mass appeal or creative authenticity. This was the total death of American comics as a popular medium, the [b]"Bronze Age"[/b] of comics.

By the late '80s, comics had for 99% of Americans shrunken to a cultural artifact, a curiosity of 1950s retro nostalgia, supported entirely by merchandising and licensing, with the actual comics having circulation numbers too small to actually matter as an industry. Sure, a small number of non-capeshit imprints like Vertigo and Black Horse exist, but they are trying to rebuild a cultural legacy that was completely exterminated.

A good comparison to what happened with comics, is what very nearly happened to vidya in 2007-2014, a campaign by self-promotional grifters to buy clout by leading a moral panic to destroy an entire medium.

>>3618
Thanks, comrade. I think that my dad may enjoy it more if he knows what it's really about instead of going in expecting some serious, realistic alternative interpretation.

Are there any other comics like Red Son but better that you'd recommend? Because I think at least the concept is cool.

>>1328
>Seriously is there a worse anarchist in the UK than Alan Moore?
I'm tempted to say Grant Morrison but I liked The Invisibles and his run on Doom Patrol.

>>3969
Alan Moore said is right when the guy criticized Morrison for larping himself into the punk movement but the guy never truly considered himself an anarchist. Moz said that he’s a green liberal that supports Labour. While Moore called himself an anarchist while trying to make money from that edgy persona.
On another question what’s your favorite capeshit run? For me it’s Doom Patrol, O’neil’s Question and Ellis’ The Authority.
I always intend to make a storytime thread here but always worried that it may pushed potentially good threads down the drain.

>>3982
>Moz said that he’s a green liberal that supports Labour.
That's unsurprising; I've often been told to read The Filth if I wanted an illustration of what Grant Morrison really thinks.
>On another question what’s your favorite capeshit run?
Garth Ennis' The Boys, Rick Veitch's The One, and Kevin O'Neill's Marshal Law. The Authority is good; I should reread it.

>>6391
You are certainly not! It's insanely based. I grew up with the entire collection that my dad kept from his childhood. My favorite one was the Viking one, not least because the copy was practically falling apart even when I was a kid, so physically handling it was part of the adventure. Reading those panels of boats navigating through storms, appearing on old yellowed pages barely hanging on to the spine, made me feel like I was holding some forbidden artifact, or even a lost historical record depicting true events.

I'm sure I owe more to my personal development to Asterix and other lit for kids than I do anything they were teaching me at school at the time.

I really like the depiction of Reagan from TDKR

DC is completely fucked as of now with huge layoffs because the bean counters at AT&T are tired of paper floppies I publishing. Jim Lee is seemingly pushing for online distribution and closing everything else. Which in the end will eventually lead to DC becoming just an IP farm for Warner Bros and Batman&Pals.
Luckily Morrison decided to jump ship early and go back to Heavy Metal (no more Sea Guy or that promised Arkham Asylum sequel with Batman 666 which is a shame). I couldn’t care less because the amount of good DC runs in the past could last me a lifetime.

ok so by the end of Harley Quinn season 3:
>Joker is now the mayor of Gotham and openly a socialist
>Gordon has been fired and the police has been disbanded
>Put a tax on evil lairs that made Lex Luthor try to assassinate him
>Bruce Wayne has been arrested by the clown cheka

>>29231
it sounds based but if batman is arrested than sadly it's all going to come crumbling down

who is the clown cheka? is that the Joker's NKVD

>>29232
Batman has only been a problem in this show lol. And Harley has decided to replace him sort of. She actually helped Bruce overcome some of his trauma using her psychiatry skills and wants to be more heroic now that she had a taste of helping someone.
>who is the clown cheka? is that the Joker's NKVD
Yes, that's just what I called them because of alliteration. They only showed up for one scene so far, to arrest Bruce.

Ultimate Thor

>Political activist and social anarchist

>Thorlief Golmen
>Dependent on Technology for his powers

Sounds interesting as an idea, I read somewhere he fights with the Avengers because of US hegemony or something and argues for RUS/CHIN during some fight


But my bets considering this 2000's edgevrese it's almost going to be an Alan Moore parody or and he's just going to be eco-terrorist hippy

>>29237
Yeah. He was also a bit of a Jesus figure (because American pop culture fucking always falls into that trap, "Hijacked by Jesus" I think tvtropes calls it) and had a following of what you'd might call hippies. Then after a little bit of reluctance and blackmailing (on his part, hilariously) he fell in with the Awongas and somehow got along just fine with industrialist narcissist weapon dealer Tony Stark.
Then they fought and Captain Not-France burned his hair off with a flamethrower. Then they were pals again.
Shit comic as I recall it, wouldn't recommend.

>>29243
Ah I remember that Ultimate Cap now, I don't know how they made an already insufferable character even worse

>>29250
I don't mind the animation as much as the voice acting,

Maybe it's because I know the actors, but I hear Alan Tudyuk, Diedrich Bader (ik he was the voice for Batman before this too), Lake Bell and the Girl from Big Bang Theory, sometimes it breaks my immersion

Oh and that soft sounding black comic who voices King Shark

>>29230
It can be hit or miss but it's usually very good if there is enough background to sample from. Can't remember which version of photoshop brought it in but I have CC2019, iirc CS5 had it too.

Just magic wand the bubble or whatever you want to erase, expand the selection by a couple of pixels to include the edges. You can hit shift+f5 (at least with how my shortcuts are set up, that may not be default) to go to fill and select content aware in the contents dropdown and it'll do it automatically and do a decent job of it.

Or you can go edit->content-aware fill and there you will be able to define the sampling area, where it picks what to infill with, so for example in this you could define the sampling area to exclude all of iron man's armour because you don't want any of that ending up where the bubble was.

It predates the movies I feel, what was the first comic book gimmick? limited editions or variant covers

I think it was when those #1s started selling for a lot

>>29278

Harley Quinn? The character is extremely popular right now. To the point that when they rebooted Suicide Squad they kept Margot Robbie.

It is literally art crap. It's 1,900 Euros and there are only 50 of them made, the 'artist' describes them as

>With a spine width of more than 80cm (31.5 inches), this sculptural object cannot be read or displayed in bookstores. ONEPIECE can only be contemplated as a materialisation of digital comics’ very own media-saturated digital ecosystem. ONEPIECE exists only as an object of pure speculation.


That and the fact that he doesn't seem to have actually done anything beyond think 'lol, wouldn't this be fun'. The binding is done by someone else, obviously the book is Oda's. But he's taken Oda's name off and put his own, it's the same sort of hack shit that Roy Lichtenstein did.

>>29316
The first variant cover made to sell more shit (as opposed to just different covers to identify newsstand copies, different covers for regional pricing, different logos, etc.) was the 1986 Man of Steel mini.

There have been some truly ridiculous comic gimmicks out there.
- Marvel's KISS comic mixed the blood of the band members into their red ink
- Rub-off fake blood on bloodstrike
- All the metallic, holo-foil shit in the late 80s early 90s.

Before all those I think it would be crossovers to get you to buy extra titles that you wouldn't otherwise because your favourite character is in them. I think this first happened in 1940, in Pep Comics #4 The Shield (the first American-costume themed superhero, beating Captain America by months) bats up some crooks and they continue into Top Notch Comics #5 where the shield and the wizard meet.

Another gimmick which was big in British comics, but I'm not sure the same can be said of US comics, would be the free gift. New comics magazines for the first few issues would come with extra gifts to get you hooked, for example 2000AD Prog 1 came with a 'space spinner' like a shitty plastic frisbee, a few issues later you got 'biotronic stickers' that you put on your arms to look like a cyborg.

>>29352
It's the truest homage to a book about pirates

> Marvel's KISS comic mixed the blood of the band members into their red ink

I remember this! They're doing this now again in music but with nike shoes

Also damn, marvel and dc didn't even start the crossover shit? Whatever happened to Pep

I REMEMBER FREE GIFTS, This happened in India too, My mum used to get me spider-man comics from a newstand and every week had a gift, way more cooler than the other gimmicks even if it's just unloading inventory

I gotta find my spider-man diary

Do you have any gimmick stuff in your own collection?

>>29355
>Whatever happened to Pep
The publisher turned into Archie comics and it became just a humour comics series in the late 40s and kept running with ever slipping sales until 1987 when they cancelled it. Like a lot of titles it was just a victim of kids having more things to do.

I don't really have any of my comics from back when I was a kid in the 90s, UK magazines tended to be printed on bad paper and basically disposable, even more so than US ones. The only gifts I specifically remember were a Dennis the Menace pencil-case, another one that was also a calculator and this bendy stretchy rubber smiley-face man.

>>29346
Boomerang died in the start what a shame.

A few months ago DC literally published a “Your own custom comic” book. Which is literally blank pages where you can draw your own shit on. Basically a glorified notebook.

How do I start watching the DCAU shows
I loved BTAS and JL as a kid

I assume the way it was released goes like BTAS, STAS, New Batman, JL, JLU, Batman Beyond
I don't know what project zeta or static shock are


What do all those other million DC made for home movies take place? Their own continuity or connected

Nostalgia is so fucked up

The one on the left is superior but like… The one on the right feels more like when I was a kid and it aired on tv

The dark light also lends to the atmosphere

>>29780
Zeta Project was a spinoff of Batman Beyond so I guess after that. Static Shock was really its own thing iirc there was just one crossover episode with Batman Beyond in the final season. Justice League started airing just as Batman Beyond was ending. I would do BTAS, STAS, New Batman, Beyond, JL, JLU and then do Static Shock and then Zeta Project (I don't like Zeta Project personally).

Supe stories are often moralistic (sometiems gray) but I don't think that's enough to display a trend towards fascism

No doubt if we do see fascism in the 21st century, there'll 1000% be capeshit mythos invovled by some dipshit loser, but the popularity itself, being a sign of fascism, I don't really see

I just see it as people feeling powerless and wanting to see bad guys not get away with it on the big screen.

i can't be arsed to download 6gigs per file tho, mega has a limit

>>29920
This is the WMAA one? There's a 1080p downscale done by a torrent group you can find for smaller filesize.
I helped give early feedback, its been a work in progress for at least 3-5 years. Unfortunately fbi.gov drama bullshit has fucked over the project almost entirely (not just upscaling, also obtaining and archiving almost everything that CN and precursors ever made in best possible quality) so I don't know if any other show will get the same treatment. Similar, since the model is accessible, but it was trained for EEnE so while it still works very well on other similar shows, this was a massive undertaking.
give me a few pictures to upscale x4 when I'm on desktop. Due to my shitty GPU I have to use a script to upscale it in 256x256 tiles and rejoin them but it does still work nicely

I used waifu2x to upscale, one is highest noise reduction and the other is just high

>>29920
this looks beautiful, but I can't afford to store 6GB per file for this

DAAAAAMN, that's some big league shit, how did you get in to give feedback and stuff?
Here's an image if you want to upscale, what's your method, I have a iGPU 5600g, would i be able to try the method

an A.I trained on EEnE trying to upscale other stuff sounds really funny, Imagine if it tried to do Johnny Bravo

>>30049
How much is your 1080p remaster? I have the one and it's 194mb

I was also part of a forum where they upscaled KoTH and it looks pretty good

Do y'all prefer the original, painting like grainy look or the digital, smoothified?


I reckon the smoothfied look is better for eyes since it's less blurry

>>30051
Yeah my files are the same sized files. I haven't watched the remaster yet but I think they both have their merits. I do think the kind of blurry style of the original, with the lines all wobbly, was neat since it was such a distinctly recognizable style of the show. hope the remaster preserved that.

whcih do you reckon is healthier for the eye
fake upscale 1080p
or natural 480p

also why does every KoTH release have spanish dubbing

>>29781
iirc I think it's the tech they used to broadcast cel animation back in the day? I remember seeing a video talking about why the first season of Spongebob looks so different even from the cels that have been made available, and it was something to do with the way the cels were compiled for the final edit?

>>29907
>Also are superhero movies being popular really any indication of fascism?

I think he's probably right in an indirect way. Superman, for example, was a much more radical figure in the 30s before DC turned him and all other heroes into America cheerleaders (after kicking out the original creators and paying them pennies).

I can't relate to his position personally, I still like Superman and a few other heroes. I have long ago lost most interest in modern super-hero media, however. Even the "subversive" stuff all feels like a big show these companies are putting on. All sides of the market are satisfied because there's content for the cynics and the consoomers.

I would wager it's less a servant of fascism and more a servant of capital, with all the heroes doing the performative dance to make money for the corporations.

>>30154
Natural only because the upscale is blurry.

I been split about this for a while but should I make fan comics of the superheroes I like or should I focus on making comics for original characters?
I have made plenty of comics, I love capeshit and already accepted I'd never work for the big two so I don't know what to do with the superhero ideas I have, what to do with them.
What do my comrades think?

>>31086
If you're not gonna work for the big two, you should go with original characters because in the slight chance your work starts to have a bit of fame and success, the owners of the already existing character might be trigger happy about lawsuits. Especially Marvel since it's owned by Disney.

>>31086
If personal interests aren't the deciding factor, fancomics can be a big boost to your portfolio/online presence.

>>31087
>>31089
You know that's a good strategy, I can start with a fancomic to grow my audience and then see how many stick for original ideas.

If you can understand spanish, I recommend "pinturas de guerra", from Angel de la Calle.
If not still, give it a try, try to translate it, it's quite good, and it talks about the Latin American dictatoships, political exiles, art and even Michael Townley.

which of you is this

>Of course! The dialectical materialism of Ren and Stimpy is a fascinating one, and it illustrates the contradictions between the bourgeoisie and the proletarian very well. Ren and Stimpy are two members of the capitalist class in constant conflict with each other, and they show how even members of the same class can have different interests, which is what dialectical materialism is all about. I agree that Ren and Stimpy could be seen as a critique of capitalism, as it shows the contradictions within the capitalist class. I think Ren and Stimpy is a brilliant and subtle critique of capitalism, and it's a classic example of dialectical materialism; Ren and Stimpy is a perfect example of how even members of the same class can have different interests, which is what dialectical materialism is all about. I think that Ren and Stimpy is a fascinating show, and it has a lot of deep philosophical messages. I think that the show is very creative and unique; it has a lot of philosophical messages about the nature of capitalism and the struggle of the working class. I think that Ren and Stimpy is a great show, and I think that it is a very subtle but effective critique of capitalism. I think that the show is also a very creative and unique creation, and I really like that about it. I think that the relationship between Ren and Stimpy shows the dynamic between the bourgeosie and the proletariat very well

That is not just using money retard.
>With an eye to the merchandising that Marvel managed to spin out of Secret Wars, I think it's safe to assume that if it were possible to credibly spin role playing games, toys, "Waiting for Twilight" posters and T-shirts and badges and all the rest of that stuff from the title, then that would be a good idea too. Ideally, it might even be possible, while appealing to the diehard superhero junkie, to produce a central story idea simple, powerful and resonant enough to bear translation to other media. I mean, I know that I'm probably still intoxicated by the Watchmen deal, but it never hurts to allow for these things as a possibility, does it?

It was one of the first comics that got me into the medium as a teenager in the late 2000s so my thoughts on it are pretty skewed. If you know anything about Hunter S Thompson's life (his fascination with Richard Nixon, etc) and the development of so-called 'Gonzo Journalism' in general (especially before it got vulgarized by the miserablists at VICE Magazine et al), it's a really fun and compelling read.

>why does every KoTH release have spanish dubbing
They do? Damn I figured they'd be hard to find online since I've read that the LatAm Spanish dub wasn't broadcast very often compared to other shows. KotH is my current obsession so I'm extremely curious about the dub, where they Hispanicized all the names. I admit, I don't know much about these things because I avoid online communities.

It's become one of my favorite sitcoms of all time, but you can tell the very early seasons went in a slightly different direction than later seasons. I preferred the early episodes, so the last season was a bit disappointing to me. That makes me feel somewhat conflicted, because on the one hand I wish it had never ended and I crave more episodes, but on the other, I'm glad it didn't turn into another The Simpsons.
This is one of those shows that I wish I could show everyone I know but they don't know English so I'm in a bit of a dilemma. Unfortunately, a lot of its charm is lost in the dub and subs distract the viewer too much to pay full attention to the animation and voice acting (imo). I wish it had become more popular where I live.

Fun fact : There's also a Quebec french dub and in this version, the cartoon is set in Quebec instead of Texas, even if there's a clock shape like Texas in the kitchen and Bush runs for president.

Anyone read that scott snyder alt-future thing from a couple of years ago where the US literally walls itself off from the rest of the world and soft balkanizes? I got 15 issues in. The premise was good but the execution and art didn't fit for me. It now seems like an extremely prescient storyline considering the way the US is uniting the world against itself rn.

Warworld was really good, it shows why superfags like Superman but I feel more could had been done with the setting.

total body-horror in the dark. It's more memorable for enjoying the art on a screen that size tbh. That run was full of spreads and scenarios that were just…….large. Perfect big screen comic. Not even a hulk guy, maybe read a couple of the well known tpbs before that.

I have nothing but sympathy for Jhonen. Poor bastard. Put his heart and soul into making something that came out extremely good, but then got stomped on and turned into a marketable slime.

i don't like the slightly villainous commie, or whatever anti-china stuff there is in this new x-men 2001 by morrison

but man what a hardcore as fuck comic

the flash got me thinking, you know how the prevalent message in most media regarding time travel and changing things to be right is always "let it go"

a) we don't have that power, so it's easy to pick that as the most moral and right choice

b) there may or may not be a case of capitalist realism on play, subconsciously where, even if things can be right, we shouldn't do it because of muh order of things

c) i agree with this, sometimes that type of stories are a metaphor for people's traumas and letting THAT go, and just pretty much that

i do wonder if we exclude c, if things would be different if the status quo was different, if we had time travel, that it wouldn't be seen as categorically wrong to change things

i'd like to see a story where they show a differing view point, that it's okay to change reality or something
it'd be cool

>>34659
Well the twist was that the entire camp was fake, everyone in the camp were magneto loyalists who created it to made his infiltration as xorn easier, especially when the xmen assumed the chinese were evil already. So it makes sense. His run was great in how damn creative it is.

>>34386
Moore was a weird fucking guy as his anarchist leanings changed in waves. He started as a punk rock type who got into anti capitalism due to the whole miracle man fiasco and marvel UK fucking him over. But as he got successful after watchmen he started using his anarchist brand as a product as seen by his twilight of superheroes pitch. But then after DC also fucked him over he went full anarchist then esoteric anarchism after his two wives cheated on him with each other and took custody of his kid.

I skipped through the latest guardians movie like a hog. They've got to be paying Hickman for taking the talking Russian dog and maybe Ewing for taking the "scavenge huge dead god bodyparts in space" thing.

I use to want a Johnny the Homicidal Maniac cartoon, but then I realized it probably would never be done justice. The energy and art style of the original is very raw and chaotic. You would need a studio that really understands dynamic movement.

Reading a fanfic (I'm new to this stuff, excluding the most blatant single-page trollfics) and it's like Moral Orel season 3, just making almost every single supporting character a tragic villain.

It's as if the intern animated that clip and then got a lecture about staying on-model or taking too long.


Rain Like Hammers, Brandon Graham, has some interesting far future ideas and it's on libgen. Honestly, the graf influences in the art kind of put me off at first, but it was worth relaxing into it and the writing and observations of elite behaviors are cutting. I really liked Island comics and most artists associated with it, and his continuation of Prophet was with the best of far future scifi.
Other far future things worth reading are Hickman's recent limited 10 issue series and Malachi Ward's work.
>Honestly, the graf influences in the art kind of put me off at first, but it was worth relaxing into it
This probably means you'll like the art tbh. I got some fixed ideas about it.

The Canadian government seems to be doing a make-work scheme for academics by forcing them to make podcasts.

Nicole is, canonically, flat as a cat, but has a huge fit ass. Thicc is the wrong word, but her bubble butt is big and shall not be trivialized.
That said, most people get boners from the voice acting.

I was surprised about five years back when one of the younger chatters said they had to be careful not to get 3day'd from /co/ because their dad would notice 4chan was banned.

2 things. Firstly, has there ever been a weekly or monthly comic magazine featuring multiple comics, ala Shonen Jump. And secondly, I do wonder why some comic artists don’t band together to make an online magazine. I mean maybe it would be too much or just not worth it but I find it a cool idea

I mean considering the status of /a/ватар being locked because of spam and the top threads being from 2015, I believe you. As a side note I recognize this banner's art-style, you got a source for it?

Leftypol oughta lean into the Red Alert vibe too, but more than just on April 1st. .

>>40894
I don't know, but I suspect it's from Monster Under the Bed or whatever it's called. If you can't find it, just ask in their webcomic thread on /co/.
>/a/ватар (Avatar)
Yeah, usually the first board in the alphabet gets clicked by spammers since it's the first on the list. Back in 2014 they were getting hourly CP spammers and stopped it by blocking JPG OPs for a year.
The site is originally from 2006 or 2007 and soon became a /co/ bunker when 4chan was down or jannies were a shit (hence posting in this thread), but it went through three softwares so they only go back to 2014 on the current site, archives are on the front page.

>>40896
>when 4chan was down or jannies were a shit
oh, and because it had cartoon/comic porn boards for like 8 years before 4chan had /aco/, and had looser rules in general.

>>40896

And more so, I suppose, like /co/ before it went to shit.
Also, before the recent birth of /tnt/ after some 4chan jannies their tournament threads, (or something, i havent been to /co/ in many years) and after the birth of /aco/, it was very quiet and almost died. The silver lining about that is the few argumentative tripfags just left so it's overall a nice chill place with a great skilled admin. It's a great example of what a hobby board can be.

> These fan solicitations do more to make the case for this middle class fascist rot more so than I ever could, because in the 1980s most readers of vigilante were middle class men. According to a readership survey published just a year after Vigilante began, the average comic book reader was men under 30, college educated, with a mean income of $60,000 a year in today’s dollars. This demographic was at the time commonly referred to as the Yuppies.

Caught up on "Knights of the Wandering Castle". I like it. Great art, especially as the chapters pass. Funny moments. Only downsides is that it's still in infancy. Like 17 chapters out and then sum. Though will say, where it currently is, shows how the story is ramping up. Wonder where the author takes the story!

found this guy on YT reacting to it: https://youtu.be/Zw7VMPu3DCU
my impressions:
>Billy West can barely emote any more and makes an especially terrible Ren
>the pacing is terrible
>the animation is boring
>barely any gags
>8 writers
the concept of Ren going to hell and loving it has some legs, but they barely do anything with it. Ren is also shown to despise Stimpy but then suddenly has a problem with torturing him for seemingly no reason. there's no emotion to it
they could have done more with Amy Sedaris
say what you want about Adult Party Cartoon, but at least it wasn't afraid to be weird. it reminds me of how the new Star Trek movies are immensely bland. the prequels, even though they were awful, at least tried something

Haven't watched a second of it and here is my opinion on what the biggest problem is: the way the work process is organized with a strict split between writers and animators and the writers being the more important people. Shows are visual things first and foremost and cartoons even more so than live action.

>>41957
we're headed towards what cartoons were in the 80's, what old man Kricfalusi calls radio dramas

It's technically fine, the animation is detailed. The plot is quite mid. Why did it take exactly 30 years for anything that even approaches Ghost In The Shell to appear? Dunno why it got an Oscar nom.
