Indeed, I used that because it hits close to home to the kind of people who'd use it, as banning abortion pills is something even a lot of places don't do.

Swede here. When dealing withe the statement that "Sweden is getting worse", it should be noted that recent research shows that Sweden has the highest amount of both deadly shootings and bombings in Europe
And it's the only one where it's on the rise.

True, but I wanted to hear from him since it's usually a dogwhistle and I wanted to see if he was that type of person.

Let's not be ridiculous here, this is beyond absurd. Streaming video games and uploading playthroughs is something we do with video games. It's how we enjoy and share our experiences with our fellow gaming communities. Expecting somebody to somehow mute all the music in their gameplay because it might in the future be turned into a crappy live action show is beyond stupid.

Just another reason why we should make adaptations of video games and the movies or shows

He's being ridiculous on purpose

New one
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/state/florida/article271135257.html

When Florida deputies arrested Jonathan Hernandez for allegedly possessing child porn, they were expecting to find more. But what authorities uncovered was jaw-dropping even for them.

At that time, we told you the investigation was just getting started and there would likely be more charges, the Highlands County Sheriffs Office posted via Facebook. What we should have said was there would likely be A LOT more charges like more than anyone in our county ... ever.

Hernandez now faces more than 1,180 counts of child pornography and four counts of bestiality images. The 23-year-old is being held on a $2.4 million bond; deputies note he has enough charges to possibly see a life sentence.

The sheriffs office first started investigating into Hernandez back in August, when a cybertip about internet crimes against kids came in from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

Through a search warrant, detectives found child porn on his Discord account, a instant messaging application.

He was arrested on these findings Dec. 29 when deputies searched his Avon Park home and discovered 15 electronic devices.

At the time, he was only charged with two counts of possession of child pornography, two counts of transmitting child pornography, and one count of using a two-way communication device to facilitate a felony.

While out on bond, detectives gathered enough evidence on just one of the 15 devices to charge Hernandez with an additional 1,182 counts of child porn possession.

There is no telling how many charges he could face if detectives went through all the devices, the sheriffs office said. Detectives say Hernandezs collection of child porn is the largest they have ever seen.

He was arrested again on Wednesday stemming from the latest charges. Once the other devices are searched, Hernandezs case could culminate in one of the largest involving child porn possession in state history.

When your custom character shows up in cutscenes

Are they thinking about having kids?

And that creates the unfortunate side effect of becoming inaccessible again by having so many different versions around. A lot of people's complaints about comics is that the variations just makes it convoluted to get into when they don't know which version people talk about. Manga long-runners even if long are still able to keep their audience and attract new ones alike when it's relatively simple to get into.

Prismsblade posted...

You're referencing crappy/mediocre comics with good potential premises turned into great shows/movies. Which isn't relevant to already great comics being made greater by directors as you claim. The last Thor movie was universally considered inferior to the comic and Strange 2 about the freaking multiverse of all things ended up dogshit.

The Sonic movie succeeded due to the directors understanding the source material and characters. Which is the differance between a success, or a flop. Hence why the synderverse bombed.

Also unlike comicbooks manga can't be transitioned to live-action 1-1. From their zany designs, hairstyles, clothes, world and action. All of it looks goofy as fuck in live action. So they're limited to either manga or animation by design.

Which is most comics. That's the whole point of my posts. All the "great" comics were the original stuff made in the very beginning/golden ages and all the rehashes starting from several decades ago have been mediocre. I have not heard anything about the later Thor and Dr. Strange movies even having a source material. They're completely original content as far as I know. If they were based off of existing comic arcs that just shows how little the original comic arcs matter.

Yup, exactly as a I said, they succeed by the directors despite the source material not being movie material. The sonic movies have completely unique plots with completely new characters set in a completely different setting.

The difference with manga is that mangas actually have a standard and are known more for the actual narrative and plot than the general premise. People can make a generalized premise adaption like the Netflix Death Note but it gets widely panned since the original source material's narrative is just so much stronger. People allow that for comics and stuff like Sonic since the source material's narrative isn't the strong part, it's the premise. It's why stuff with actual acclaimed narrative like The Last of Us are much more faithful.

Prismsblade posted...

Routinely? Nah. Most are either reboots or sequels and that's not changing anytime soon. If not for comicbooks the big cinema would be all but dead by now probabaly.

And there are as many alternative versions of characters as there are universes in the infinite multiverse. Which offers writers a infinitely sized sandbox to be as creative as they want without impacting the main continuity. Plus if the universe becomes a success they can add it to the multiverse and utilize it whenever. Or if not just forget about it. It's genius.

And idk what you're talking about in regards to them only pulling from its peak. Storys like spiderverse, or Thor 4 were adapted from storys within the past decade.

And quality wise mondern comicbook storys aren't any worse then older ones. So they're have plenty of source material to drawn from for many years to come.

There are way more new movies in Hollywood that come out that are completely new than related to a previous movie.
Your second paragraph just makes it clearer that the strength lies in MOVIE-ORIGINAL content, not the source material's writing.
As I've already said, the narratives of the movie Spiderverse and Thor are completely different than the source material's. All they do is share a loosely similar premise. That has barely anything to do with the original source material's writing. If the original was so good it'd make more sense to follow them faithfully.
And no, almost nobody is adapting modern content, unless your definition of modern extends to decades ago.

lol cute

CanardElastique posted...

Well there are free legal manga apps now.

But you have to pay to access every chapter right? In any case, the main place that manga is notably dominating comics in is physical sales so any free digital audience that hasn't been measured wouldn't apply.

CanardElastique posted...

But is it legal?

Neither are the manga sites he referenced.

Prismsblade posted...

They wouldn't have adapted the storys in the first place if the writing wasn't exceptional. Otherwise said storys wouldn't have become popular in the first place. Afterward they do add their ideas but weather or not said ideas are good is based enitrely on weather or they understand the source material. If not then the movies generally turn out crap. Which wouldn't be the case if directors were just that talented. This applies to all adaptions, not just comicbooks.

Or because the premise is broad enough to be interesting. It's telling you completely ignored the Sonic example. Also, this is completely untrue. The Boys adaption is considered to be universally better than the original comic which was an edgelord mess with a ridiculous and nonsensical ending. What you don't seem to be able to comprehend is that a basic premise =/= the actual Comic's writing. The comic Mask is a villain protagonist about a psychopath killing people out of revenge and abusing his girlfriend and eventually killed by her while all other Mask adaptions has him as a hero. The PREMISE of the Mask is interesting but the writing and story itself was not considered good enough to adapt faithfully for anything.
Ironically, your description applies to anime far more, due to anime actually being made to be faithful to the manga the majority of the time and thus relies on the manga being good far more.

Prismsblade posted...

Hollywood in general has been rebooting and rehashing crap for decades. So comicbooks aren't anywhere near special in that regard. And havent there been plenty more books, movies and shows the past century they csn pool from? So it speaks volumes of their quality they've managed to stand above the rest.

As for writers not fully adapting the storys, lol, I think their massive egos just won't allow it.

Not nearly as much as comic books. Hollywood still routinely makes new things that become successful. Comics are special in the sheer amount of reboots there are. How many universes of Batman are there? How many universes of Spiderman are there? There are entire comic series that revolve around the sheer amount of different universes of those there are. There's nothing like that in Hollywood. What you don't seem to understand is that only pulling from their heyday doesn't speak to the rest of the following decades they don't pull from. Again, my Sonic example. Your argument is the equivalent of saying modern Sonic games are huge again and rival Mario because of the movie's success even though the movies only reference stuff from the very first games, even disregarding the fact that movies play by a whole different ballgame. Imagine saying Sonic has better writing than Silent Hill or Bioshock or Ace Attorney because its movie is more successful.

After all, Comic Book movies aren't particularly seen as high end cinema to begin with.

Prismsblade posted...

I should have specified, by my younger days I meant around 15+ years ago. And Comicbooks have been on the decline long before that.

I mean, your logic here is very outdated so that makes sense.

Prismsblade posted...

Most are heavily inspired. If directors were that creative they would have dumped/replaced the source material and characters long ago. Hell they would have been creating comicbook style movies from the beginning.

And said established characters and titles are only so due to the creative writers behind them the past decades.

In regards to discussing the movies idk about the director usually being a main talking point. Doubt most casuals could namedrop who's directors the next spiderverse movie.

As I said, it's much much easier to market already established characters. If the actual writing in comic book stories were exceptional they'd actually adapt it faithfully rather than adapt them as loosely as physically possible, often completely changing events to being original stories. It says something that Comics are literally the least faithfully adapted medium of all mediums.
These characters are established from way back over 60 decades ago back when they were unique. There's a reason comics are known for rehashing and rebooting established old characters themselves rather than creating new ones. This is like saying the Sonic movies were successful due to how successful the current state of Sonic games are.
And what are you talking about? Individual adaptions are called Snyderverse or Nolan trilogy or Raimiverse. Doctor Strange 2 was known for being directed by Raimi rather than whatever comic arc (if any) it was inspired from. The animated Spiderverse is going to be known for its broad premise of various Spidermans across the universes teaming up with each other that is loosely inspired by the comic arc, not that the actual plot and writing will be remotely similar, which it already wasn't.

Prismsblade posted...

I haven't checked in many years, but when I was younger I had alot more trouble finding comicbooks online then manga. Pretty sure DC and Marvel were alot more strict with copyright. And it took them far to long to eventually create a dedicate site to purchase them digitally. And even longer for a app.

Yeah, you seem rather out of touch. There's been a free comic reading site that most comic fans casually talk about for over 5 years now.

Prismsblade posted...

Comicsbooks are the source material for where a majority of the creative ideas for the above originate. And most of whoms success are contributed to the writing and quality of said storys. Not the directors.

Not saying they're irrelevant, but they oftetimes would not have been capable of creating as good a movies as they did without drawing inspiration from them.

Your pokemon reference makes zero sense because neither brand are reliant on the other in any way, shape or form.

Not at all, the vast majority of comic book movies only follow the source material in name only and the actual film is based on completely original content created by directors. These movies could easily be original works with original characters. They don't draw any writing inspiration from comics, they simply use their characters due to it being easier to use established characters for marketing. When people are talking about the potential success of new MCU or comic book movies they aren't talking about the writers of the original comics, nor the events of the original comics, they talk exclusively about who's directing it.

Also, you talked earlier about free manga sites making things accessible, 1. there are free comic sites and 2. the decline comes from sales so free sites doesn't help there.

Prismsblade posted...

That had nothing to do with their decline.

Comicbooks are far more versatile and have transitioned to Movies, shows, and games without issue. Easily surpassing manga in those regards.

Comicbooks specifically just failed to adapt, particularly in regards to becoming more accessible vs manga that have numerous sites you can read them for free and anime adaptations if you prefer to watch.

Said entertainment also changes directors and creative teams regularly ehich has had no major impact on the MCU.

And while success breeding laziness could be a cause. Stalling the book for decades until death is a little to lazy to believe. Did he even leave a rough draft to it's conclusion?

Print medium and cinema are completely different beasts. A film's success is more due to directors than any writers. And the MCU and other comic book movies as a brand isn't equivalent to actual comics. That's like equating Pokemon's success with manga since Pokemon has a manga.
Your logic has been very faulty false equivalencies.

Prismsblade posted...

The Japanese are just that stubborn. Sometimes staying the sole writer or VA behind something until death.

Unlike western comics where writers are swapped in and out after every few months or years.

People don't like the swapping writers due to how inconsistent and convoluted it gets which is part of the reason why comics are doing so badly these days. When it comes to actual literature , writers generally stay the same too, and that includes infamous writers like GRRM also not making anything. I think it's more connected with success. The more successful they are, the more lazier they can afford to get.

They still living together and are business partners tho
