The problem is that there is no target audience


Well, it's a blatant self-insert fanfic, so the target audience is the author. DC just shouldn't have been stupid enough to spend money on such a terrible joke. There's no fucking way this sells enough to make money.

Comic book writers are weird. I am not a fan of when they do this self insertion nonsense where you get some 40 year old writer inserting their ideal teen self the teen they wish they could have been into a book set in modern times. So you get these weird characters that are into punk rock and other stuff that was popular in the 90s sporting strange hairstyles and other odd fashion accessories that look like nothing people in real life wear. It is some kind of weird mid life crisis deal where the writer tries to recapture their youth and prove they are still young and cool because nothing screams in touch with today's youth quite like a middle aged comic book writer.

Is she actually a confirmed self-insert or is that just something people are running with because they sort of look similar (is fat and have black hair)?

This isn't part of the main comic line. This is a children's book for 12 year old girls and it's not canon or aimed at anyone on CE
Kids aren't reading this stuff.

They're reading manga.

Because DC and Marvel are complaining constantly about how manga and anime are destroying them. An old writer for DC even wrote an article about why he thinks that is the case now and that his children and his children's friends all read manga and not a single one of them care about Marvel or DC.

The only difference is he wasn't bitter about it like the rest of the people from Marvel and DC are. He said they should learn from manga and provide more choices instead of all being the same thing because he prefers manga too.

Sure. That's because they rebooted Superman what 3 times in the 2010s. The comic industry has been irreparably broken for a while now. That's just 1 example

Ew, why is her daughter such a fat fuck? >_>

The character is basically the author self inserting herself into a comic book. You can Google it, but I dont think its worth the effort.

Btw, I dont want to dump on this product, except to say I dont really know who it was created for. I dont think comic nerds will spend money on it.

I asked my sister who's a young adult and she says it looks dumb. I asked my sister who's a teenager, and she(being a fan of comics) thinks it looks bad and the art sucks. I asked my brother who's a kid and he told me it was gross and to leave him alone because he's playing Fortnite.

What kids exactly?

My niece is 13 & she said it looked dumb. Also, she said, 'that doesn't look anything like Starfire or Robin' (she's been a long time fan of Teen Titans), so obviously it's not hitting the correct supposed target audience.

Because that's what they do.

Also, a lot of them have issues with Mariko Tamaki (the writer), everything from her physical appearance to her writing style (which is heavily skewed towards introspection and characters questioning their motives/looking for meaning in their lives).

My daughter(6) saw me watching that clip and she was interested in it. Starfire is her favourite hero at the moment so that likely played a part.

I don't know her age, she looks 12 to me. Starfire asks her about college and what she wants to do with her life so she could be 17 or 18 but I guess that doesn't rule out being younger.

Well I looked at a few tamaranians and none had septum piercing. Some females had earrings. Most had skimpy outfits with gems and jewelry.

I don't think Starfire would care.

There would be much less for sure. There would still be people who wouldn't like that she's powerless and unathletic.

I bet it would be more like why make a twilight YA with a DC skin.

Maybe we misunderstood each other.

Im talking about the dudes who are Youtubers or are on Twitter complaining about this. Their interests are comics and related things like comic movies.

If you meant the CEmen in this thread, then youre probably right that most arent buying now or maybe ever.

I buy comics when I have enough interest in them. Usually one shots or stuff that isn't integrated into the canon, because that stuff requires way less investment on my part(I don't want to read 50 issues because I want to read one series).

But yeah, this sorta thing doesn't interest me in the slightest. But I'm not the target audience. But I still can't help but wonder who is.

Nice. Are you gonna get it for her? If so, you could totally treat us to a review. Could be interesting to see an adult's perspective compared to your child's, anyway.

I likely will, and considering she isn't quite at full on reading level yet ill have to read it to her anyway.

Yes, you are right.

These guys who are angry are just wasting their energy IMO. This comic is not for them. But I suppose they threw their two cents in because they mightve been Starfire or Teen Titans fans in the past.

Sounds like you dislike it, that's just one step behind hate.

Thats not even dislike thats just an opinion. You can think a product is dumb without hating or disliking it, both of those things involve caring about it enough to dislike or hate it. Thinking something is dumb is just a matter of seeing it and thinking Oh thats stupid and moving on.

You look EXTREMELY immature when you announce that you're about to ignore someone. No one cares, including the person about to be ignored. Just FYI.
