Topic | why aren't kids into modern comic books? |
TheSavageDragon 05/05/24 6:17:25 PM #29 | Beveren_Rabbit posted... hey now... let's not go on saying manga has better coloring than graphic novels/comics. Fully colored manga is still a rare thing and most of the time just a "special edition" That part of their post is referring to manhwa which are generally colored in my experience. But they'd still be wrong as manhwa generally looks like somebody digitally colored it using Paint's auto-fill feature. That's not to say there aren't any impressive manhwa out there. Take this for instance https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/d/dded6aa0.jpg I've never encountered a manhwa with this level of coloring. It's not the standard for comics either, but at least they're out there. Any of Alex Ross' work for instance puts all the coloring I've seen from manhwa to shame. Image is not by Ross though, it's Sejic. And it's all thanks to artists coloring all of it which sadly tend to be forgotten as I don't even recall who actually colored that. |

At least if you check out the Guardians beyond the release date of the movie when they basically were turned into their movie versions save for some lore here and there. Before that they were vastly different though. |

TheSavageDragon 05/05/24 3:36:08 PM #24 | Ivany2008 posted... The problem I find is that there is just a barrier for entry. There is a lot of material. People may look at One Piece and say "that's too many chapters". Not realizing that Batman by itself has over 700 issues, and that's just the base story. Brave and the bold is another 200 issues. Comic writers are having to go back and create bundles just to get a starting point for new readers. "There's 1000s of comics that don't do the things you dislike about comics" "But Batman though" Then don't read Batman or anything from Marvel and DC. There is literally no barrier for entry with thousands of comics. There is a wide variety of genres amongst different publishers that aren't Marvel or DC and don't do all the things Marvel/DC get rightfully criticized for. Even a whole bunch of superhero comics. Ivany2008 posted... I mean, if your a comic fan, its a good time to be a fan. As long as you know where to start. For me though, manga will always have an easier entry point, as its nearly always Issue 001. Which is the exact same thing for Y The Last Man, Fables, Sandman, Transmetropolitan, Sweet Tooth, 100 Bullets, Saga, Paper Girls, Gideon Falls, Black Science, Invincible, Savage Dragon, The Walking Dead, Rat Queens, Irredeemable, Kick-Ass,... |

TheSavageDragon 05/05/24 1:08:12 PM #18 | Ivany2008 posted... Comics, in general, have a multitude of starting points. So if you tell me to start reading Batman, I can get overwhelmed at "which" Batman to start reading. The classic Batman? Or how about the Darkest Knight? Or Batman who laughs? Or Flashpoint Paradox (which has my favourite Batman). Again, you're attributing things from 2 companies to the entire industry. The problem doesn't seem to be Marvel and DC doing all those things, the problem seems to be people are unaware of anything but Marvel and DC. It's like saying every manga out there is a shonen isekai because that's what brings in the big bucks right now. You're bringing up legit issues with Marvel/DC though. Also Flashpoint Paradox isn't a comic, that's the title of the animated movie. The comic itself was just called Flashpoint. |

TheSavageDragon 05/05/24 12:50:39 PM #34 | hockeybabe89 posted... weird chuds that can't keep an account think Fandom's changes are good and that they can suck up to them. That seems to have changed abruptly because those same loons are now calling Fandom fascists in their echo chamber. My guess is because of their resolute anti transphobia stance |

TheSavageDragon 05/05/24 12:37:39 PM #13 | Ivany2008 posted... Comics in general are very static in how they pose characters, and its a hundred different stories rather than one contiguous story. That's not so much "in general" as it is Marvel/DC's superhero comics. There are literally thousands of comics out there that tell a single story from start to finish. It's just that Marvel and DC are more prolific due to being around for a long time. Hell, my name is from a superhero comic telling a continuing story written and drawn by the same person for over 30 years now. |

TheSavageDragon 05/05/24 12:32:30 PM #9 | Beveren_Rabbit posted... when they do get into comics or graphic novels it's usually the old stuff like Transmetropolitan or Sandman Along with manga's popularity already being mentioned....judging by your examples I think the fact that the internet is a thing has a hand in it as well. When a 12 year old googles "best comics ever" they're not going to get the latest issue of Batman or Spider-Man as a result, but things like Transmetropolitan and Sandman. |
Topic | When adult Simba comes in during Hakuna Matata |
TheSavageDragon 05/05/24 10:32:53 AM #16 | MICHALECOLE posted... Have you guys heard that the lion king snes game has a part where you play as teenage simba, because the game was being made at the same time as the movie, and that part was originally in the movie but cut, so the snes game technically has the most complete story of the lion king Having played that game my entire childhood I don't recall any moment where you play as a teenage Simba. You go from cub Simba in Hakuna Matata to adult Simba making his way back to the Pridelands. |

TheSavageDragon 05/04/24 10:19:40 PM #3 | I did enjoy the first one solely based on its premise. Finally seeing what the park would be like when it's operational. EDIT: And it gave us Camp Cretaceous which is probably the best JP related thing I've seen since the original movie |

Topic | Europeans love room temperature beverages |
TheSavageDragon 05/04/24 9:52:08 PM #23 | Antifar posted... 2. The Dutch tourists at the diner I was at tonight were struck by ice water being the default That's because there's a difference between room temperature, cooled and iced. The Dutch generally drink water, sodas,... from the fridge without ice added to the drink. Unless you're at a bar or a restaurant people here mostly only use ice cubes in the summer when it's scorching hot out. Been to quite a few bars and restaurants that just don't serve ice cubes at all unless specifically asked. And then there's also the fact that the water we order here comes from a bottle in a fridge. While the water you guys order in the US generally comes from the tap, so it needs ice in order to actually be cooled. |

TheSavageDragon 05/04/24 8:22:06 PM #46 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Didn't know that. You remember when that was, we might have interacted back then. Looking at the archived topics on the KH2 board, I was really active there in 2008-2009. EDIT: Reading those topics now.... a lot of my posts back then were either cringy as fuck or needlessly antagonizing. |
Topic | Europeans love room temperature beverages |
TheSavageDragon 05/04/24 7:57:54 PM #8 | Zikten posted... I've heard this before. I don't get it. I understand if you have no convenient way to chill it. But it sounds like sometimes they could do so, and still just don't bother The average European very much prefers cooled drinks though. Maybe 70 year olds don't and the outdated stereotype stuck, but I have never met a single person in my life that actually prefers room temperature drinks. The few I know that do drink like that are those that need to because of digestive issues. |

TheSavageDragon 05/04/24 7:48:52 PM #66 | AceMos posted... its always been the case because legally gamefaqs has to do that You could've actually read the topic though. Not only has it not always been the case in certain instances, you had the option to prove your actual age and overturn the ban. Now that option is gone and all the instances where claiming to be UAU as a joke were allowed now aren't. |

TheSavageDragon 05/04/24 6:21:36 PM #45 | StealThisSheen posted... See, in my experience, this isn't true. I don't think it's ever actually been allowed, because I'd say I've probably seen somebody get banned for it almost on an average of atleast once per year, the entire time I've been here. Like I said, I've seen people make such posts and get away with it, in certain situations, such as being on a smaller board where nobody would mark them, or being in a busier topic where it got overlooked. Your experience doesn't stack up to Allen straight up saying the meme was now allowed though. I remember it clearly because I found it amusing that it was now allowed seeing as I got banned for it a little while before. Should be somewhere around 2011-2012 that the change happened as I got hit for it in 2010 IIRC. And I'm talking about the specific "I am 12 and what is this" meme, not similar posts and such. |

TheSavageDragon 05/04/24 6:07:01 PM #43 | StealThisSheen posted... Yep. I've been coming to GameFAQs since leading up to release of Sonic Adventure 2, which brought me to GameFAQs to begin with, and I've always seen people get banned for such a thing, unless they proved otherwise, the entire time I've been here. No, not exactly. "I am 12 and what is this" is what I got hit for and that was allowed about a year after I got banned for it. Now it's not allowed again. |

TheSavageDragon 05/04/24 6:02:35 PM #39 | StealThisSheen posted... This is not true, it's literally always been bannable. I've seen people get banned over it for over 20 years. If you made such a joke and didn't get banned, you were just lucky and nobody actually marked it. Can confirm, did get a ban for this until I got it overturned by showing Allen my ID >_> |

Topic | The Sadness was violent as fuck. |
TheSavageDragon 05/03/24 7:36:21 PM #41 | Having read all of Crossed because I'm a fucking weirdo I can say that The Sadness is a much better version of the same premise. Like the "eye" scene people keep mentioning here is the craziest it gets and even that is implied rather than shown which is far more disturbing IMO. Crossed loves just going absolutely bonkers with its visuals, the vast majority you can't even describe here and they pretty much never serve a purpose to the overall plot other than shock value and to browbeat you with "we're all horrible inside". I'll defend Preacher and even The Boys to hell and back, but I can't back up Ennis on Crossed. It's mean spirited all around. |

He said you guys revel in negativity and you immediately came in here to tell him to fuck off, argue about politics, call each other names, and generally have grudges. I mean...all but the first example you just listed was done by someone that agreed with the OP. And I agree with it myself. CE can be overly negative and if you find it impacts your well-being leaving is a good thing. Though I'd say there's a difference between just leaving and deciding you need to make spectacle of it. |

Created a few topics over on the comics board a while back on how he used to be an avid reader, but now realized only losers read comics. When met with pushback he started going on about how he's really successful and everyone but him are losers! |
