| Topic | welp this line from a comic book really makes me facepalm |
| ParanoidObsessive 02/28/18 5:27:06 AM #30: | Oh, and if we're throwing out our candidates for the worst comic lines in recent history, I think my money is still on this one: http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/933/710/93a.png Zeus posted... Uh, what? These ARE the new writers. They've been bringing in virtue-signaling SJWs who clumsily advocate values instead of telling competent stories. That's how guys like Coates wind up writing comics. To be fair, the backlash against that sort of writing is leading Marvel to pull way back on the throttle there (which in turn is causing SJW backlash). Supposedly the new direction is going to dial back on a lot of the token diversity and "let's replace all the old characters with gender/race-swapped alternates" mentality in favor of putting more emphasis on the original characters again. That being said, it'll probably still be all the same writers, and they'll still be working their political ideology into the stories, they'll just be doing it a bit more subtly and subversively as opposed to smashing you in the face with it to appeal to Tumblr. And you'll still be getting a lot of "WOMG LOOK HOW PROGRESSIVE I AM!" comics in the indie scene, which is pretty much built on those these days. Comics have been shit for years, honestly, even beyond the most ignorant aspects of youth culture and Internet culture seeping in like sewage. Even books that don't suffer from that at all tend to be terrible because of the lack of editorial control or giving-a-fuck that typified the best eras of the major companies. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
