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?
>>1338There’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.
>>13981. aggressively attack nerds' juvenile nostalgia cortex by making the same thing over and over
2. massive advertising blitz
3. ?????
4. PROFIT!
>>1405I know right? Most comic “artists” aside from a few notable ones are just failed actual artists.
>>1411If he can’t kill the Joker. Why can’t he just rape the Joker instead?
>>1411fake moral standards that don't make sense. Frankly it's cause of his childhood trauma (see the Batman thread).
>>1417>failed actual artistsYep. I think that dude was done by Rob Liefeld
>>1449>Kilowog funded and trained USSR heroesBased. 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.
>>1412Utilitarianism 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.
>>1454Most 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.
>>1457Funnily 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.
>>1493Not as cringe as some early glowposting comparing enlisting to being a fucking comicbook superhero team in that same thread kek.
The US is really going mask-off with this one.
>2011 secretly taking out Bin Laden>2019 straight up murdering an Iranian general in a diplomatic mission (somehow when the DPRK did it, it’s bad) >>1455>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.
>>1500>>1501Yeah 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.
>>1502I 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>Alex RossIsn’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.
>>1495>when the DPRK did it, it’s badWhen did they kill a general in a diplomatic mission?
>>1500>>1501While 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.
>>1508Kinda 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).
Just a terrible book in general.
>>1512>us stupid<posts an entire several hundred post thread
piss off it was a simple question
>>1581You’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.

>>1573Simple 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.
>>3618Thanks, 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.
>>3969Alan 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.
>>3356>died of COVID<77
From my own research on the topic, Doctors aren't even bothering with full autopsies and just label deaths as the virus because its easier than digging around in a corpse.
He probably just died of old age
>>4068The message was not liberal in nature but the ending was. It still held the idealistic notions of the truth in the press being important when in reality it has never been.
>>3990>Rick Veitch's The OneBASED
>Marshal LawTo be fair that was also’s Pat Mills greatest book behind Nemesis and Vampire Knight.
>>4071>the resultsunreliable as fuck TBH
>they'll ask someone close if he had the flu.The similarities between the two viruses are so close that its hard to tell apart, so with the hysteria, doctors are just going with the popular option, "COVID!!!" and that's what goes on the obituary.
>>6391You 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.
>>9849Not as brutal as when Miller depicts how hilariously contradictory “the American way” to truth and justice.
>>5247DC 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.
As time passes I find myself more and more Nostalgic for Samurai Jack. I was never a big fan of the art-style, but the story, animation and characters more than make up for it.
The Scotsman was always my favorite of course.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3I7h5nNuWg>>13344That was an accident.
>>13342SO now he's black all over - his suit, his skin and his heart - when he meets Darkseid he can suck him into a black hole too, kek. But honestly this is retarded.
also take this to the capeshit and/or Batman threads m8

Go back. The guy had a good idea, but do fuck all with it. The later writers having managed to fix him is a miracle. However his comic is still god awful.

who is the clown cheka? is that the Joker's NKVD
>>29232Batman 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 NKVDYes, that's just what I called them because of alliteration. They only showed up for one scene so far, to arrest Bruce.
>>29234>>29235Glory to the new Socialist Prince of Gotham!
God help anyone who messes with the psychiatric queen
>>29237Yeah. 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.
So, what was TDKR an allegory for
>>29243Ah I remember that Ultimate Cap now, I don't know how they made an already insufferable character even worse
>>29250I 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
>>29230It 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.
>>29252TDKR is just a boomer fantasy about still being a badass despite being old. It might actually be the prototype for all those shitty hollywood movies about old fuckers coming out of retirement to do action heroics again.
>>29250It's about average overall. They aren't going to waste a lot of budget on characters standing around talking.

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
I forgot Marx but a hobby product like this that serves no utilitarian purpose and is just entertainment is always a commodity?
>>29278>i am surprised with all the other HBO Max cancellations this one didn't get the axeHarley Quinn? The character is extremely popular right now. To the point that when they rebooted Suicide Squad they kept Margot Robbie.
>>29316>making a version of One Piece that is literally the whole manga in "one piece"This is clearly some kind of modern art shitpost.
>>29318hey now they also kept rick flag,
and ended up killing him, can't remember if boomerang died or livedthat was such a sad story for starro, i did love the thing with the rats in the end, it was beautiful and poignant sweet
>>29318>>29316It 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.
>>29316The 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.
>>29352It's the truest homage to a book about pirates
> Marvel's KISS comic mixed the blood of the band members into their red inkI 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 PepThe 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.
>>29346Boomerang died in the start what a shame.
>>29316A 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.
https://bleedingcool.com/comics/24-hour-comic-day-dc-blank-comics-now-have-24-pages/Or the gimmick last week which is a book with just covers.

https://twitter.com/christphrfisher/status/1577807426522316801Also are superhero movies being popular really any indication of fascism?
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.
thoughts on the fan remaster of the show?
it looks brilliant
https://imgsli.com/NTI5ODE/2/1https://mega.nz/folder/Qb4BWQJI#agv5Z3Tl9zb2KLH3SbK8Iwi can't be arsed to download 6gigs per file tho, mega has a limit
>>29920This 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 >>29920this looks beautiful, but I can't afford to store 6GB per file for this
>>29922I think I may have downloaded the 1080p one recently. didn't know that was a recent fan remaster.
>>29922>I helped give early feedback, its been a work in progress for at least 3-5 years.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
>>30049How 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
>>29781iirc 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.
>>30154Natural only because the upscale is blurry.

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.

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.
>>31994hehe
i mistook subs for dubs, i used the wrong word 💀
what do you think about the drug addict episode s2e20?
>>31888Warworld was really good, it shows why superfags like Superman but I feel more could had been done with the setting.
I'm angry that the ending was printed on some event I didn't care for and that from one issue to the other Action Comics was done with the arc, that's frustrating.
>>32203>Valiant comicsnever read any of their stuff and I have no idea how are they still in business.
>>32205lol
>>32372im scared to read this one
>stalinverse you can't upload .cbz comics on leftypol?
Here's Ant-Man manga
Ant-Man+ by Toyotaka Haneda.cbz
https://www119.zippyshare.com/v/4wxLjJdV/file.html>>33014the way that the jokes and stories are set up (and what the author themselves said)
>>33013fairly, Vice was running it at one point
>>33590MF HOW WOULD THEY HAVE IMAGINED WHAT BLACK HOLES, ALTERNATE UNIVERSES AND ALL OTHER SPACE GOOP
WOULD LOOK LIIKE???
THEY DIDN'T HAVE NASA PICS???
>>33633look it's not that far fetched to say to imagine a raccoon fight a dragon is imagination
but to draw a sequence of weird squiggly lines and blobs and have that come together to create something
that's like beyond imagination during that time
btw how do i unlock my 3rd eye?
>>33667he's gotta be one of those scared turned straight kinda guy
did all that stuff in college and then became sour later
What did y'all think of GOTG Vol.3? The creatures being an IP farm (feels like it was a disney jab), the stuff about a mad scientist creating a utopian society (and failing at it)
I think it was an okay end to the guardians tho, Weird way james gunn has done in the movies that the ravagers are just a shoe-in for old guardians 3000
>>33755lmfao yeah, he turned commie ML because of che everything after it
That is just so funny
>>33795:0 did this happen around the same time as castro just winning the revolution and not being a commie?
>>34099https://www.polygon.com/23727109/immortal-thor-vs-immortal-hulk-al-ewing-interviewI'M NUTTTING

>>34376then who tf kept saying that
thesis,
anti-thesis
= synthesis
is that stalin then?
>>34384Moore being an anarchist is fun to think about until you realize him and Bill Sienkiewicz did
Brought to Light which very much deals with the parapolitical and Latin American communist movements.
>>34383>>34381wow
what is this?
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
>>34659Well 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.
>>34386Moore 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.
>>34590Seems very tongue in cheek. Like those fake communists that all bark and no bite.
>>34744reeeeeeee why did i read the spoiler
i knew the twist but ee
goddamn basedneto
he's really the malcolm x
>>34745yeah pretty sure, as the times get worse,
left-wing populism just gets everywhere, co-opted whatever
>>34992Batman (2016) volume, Volume 4, The Cowardly Lot,
2020 Story, The writer is James Tynion IV something, he wrote "Something is killing the children"
>>35001true it is still shocking to see commie ideals but now i've realized a lot of art is lefty and
reality has a communist bias :D
>>35040holy shit is that from spiderverse or noir's own title
man,

magneto is a dengist who's got chums with CCPthe retcon is really insane, but ig, it does make him into a bumbling fool, which kinda rids him of the coolness
>>35441Laika the Russian talking space dog from The Manhattan Projects is what the latest GotG talking Russian space dog is copying, I thought.

What's batman's problem
>>37964Fanfiction thread is
>>3558 But yeah, fanfiction is 90% garbage, 5% bad writing but good ideas and 5% good ideas with good execution.
>>39652>/co/ SoLI like SoL but why would you do this to yourself
wtf
>>29509One of the biggest /co/omer girls is Toph
Also Vicky from Fairly Odd Parents
>>39709>picrelLol, that's funny. I want more of this Monty Python-esque mix of satire and absurd humor.
>>40213>VickyWhy not Franky?
>>40741>Nicole isn't even thick in Gumball's art styleNicole 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.
>>40888>plus4chan is on RED ALERT! Belongs more on the alternate chan thread
>>36917 But still, checked and saved.
>>40892 >old-ass threadAh, that was me, lol.
>there are threads I made on that site ten years ago still up 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. .
>>40894I 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>Monster Under the BedYes that's it, man I remember reading that when it first came out.
>>40897 So basically it's like 4chan before it went to shit.
>>40898>So basically it's like 4chan before it went to shit.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.
>>40787I still need to see it.
Rightoids are seething about it which makes curious.
>>40905>rightoids are seething so I need to see itDon't be a petty liberal contrarian.
>>40904 Succubus girl actually
so two episodes of the Ren & Stimpy reboot leaked:
https://pixeldrain.com/u/ngtZr6xT (direct link:
https://pixeldrain.com/api/file/ngtZr6xT)
found this guy on YT reacting to it:
https://youtu.be/Zw7VMPu3DCUmy 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 writersthe 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 itthey could have done more with Amy Sedarissay 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
>>41957we're headed towards what cartoons were in the 80's, what old man Kricfalusi calls radio dramas
I went and gave The Patrick Star Show a watch. one writer per episode, plenty of gags
>>41976I wanted to watch it in theaters, but it got out of theaters before I could. Really mid? Still want to watch it though
> Dunno why it got an Oscar nom.Distinctly remembering it didn't get one
>>41995>Really mid?It's definitely worth watching. There's not many new ideas there thoughever.
>Distinctly remembering it didn't get oneweird, I first read about it in a discussion on oscar nominated animation, thought it got one.
https://www.youtube.com/@KasiusKlej is a channel that uploads old Disney comics, including a lot of Carl Barks' stuff that is hard to find.
Example:

>>>/anime/24647 There was a /leftypol/ thread a year ago about mainstream multimedia (TV/games/etc.) with pro-socialist messages. Looks like it was reborn on
https://nuclearchange.net/social/thread/163.html recently and I noticed it's mostly cartoons. Lots of commie cartoons. Any theories?
>>40759>sexual repressionmaybe the nigigas like medium or tall people more then the rest
not eveyuyghias has a hard on for the same fetish or characters
>>43239>>43244I saw that film a long time ago as a kid and more recently. It's racist garbage pretending to be satire but really just an excuse of Bakshi to jerk-off and ejaculate his personal horny and racist brainworms. Fuck it.
Wizards is a 1000% a better movie, Cool World is a much better movie, almost any other work by Bakshi is better that disjointed load of garbage. So I repeat, FUCK IT.
>>43439they're really convinced that it's piracy killing them and not that nobody wants to read that shit ey?
insert that greentext pics of some nerd store going out of business and all the warhammer/manga/etc gone and all the western comics left
>>43439ok but how would this stop pirates?
this will only hurt people who buy the comics because the pirates who do the scans are just going to add the last page in
what the fuck
>>43479I
think they're referring to the disaster of a Catwoman movie.
