how are the two comparable?
even on a stylistic level, johns and bendis write two entirely different kinds of sentences/plot structures/progressions

Johns generally cares about what he's writing. Like even if the story is bad he'll still try to give characters a neat "fuck yeah" moment that showcases them without feeling too forced. It's not quite comfy but it does leave you feeling good.

Never thought I would type something like this marvel

Well if you used a comedy scene to a comedy scene it would easier

But using a dramatic moment to a comedic moment is pretty much pie to a steak

Marvel and ABC are going big for the launch of Inhumans, releasing the first two episodes in IMAX theaters cut together as a feature-length movie, and then those episodes will air on TV as part of a two-part premiere. The theatrical and TV version will have some differences, although they are reportedly minimal; it seems the biggest change is one storyline is cut out from the IMAX version. This review is based on the IMAX presentation, and will stand as IGN’s review of the first two episodes. That said, if there’s something that makes us reevaluate this score in the TV version, I’ll make note of it here and adjust the score accordingly

Unfortunately, launching Inhumans as an IMAX movie does more harm than good. The story simply doesn’t have the scope, scale, or polish to make use of such a bold format, and it shows. When the Inhumans flee to Earth, they go to Hawaii - a setting assumedly chosen so they’d have a beautiful place to show off in those super-sized frames. And yes, sure, Hawaii is gorgeous, but it adds nothing to the story, making those big establishing shots feel like something that would be more at home on the Discovery Channel rather than in Marvel’s latest superhero tale. And on top of all that, even though the IMAX version is supposed to be presented as a movie, it still includes episode recap flashbacks halfway through, making me wonder if the editor didn’t get the memo.

The cast includes some talented actors, but they’re buried beneath the show’s glaring flaws, making it impossible to get invested in anyone enough to want to see what happens next. Ken Leung’s Karnak earns the premiere’s only real laughs by always saying what’s on his over-analytical mind, but the confusing first demonstration of his powers will leave you scratching your head. Iwan Rheon’s Maximus is Diet Loki, the jealous, scheming brother of King Black Bolt, but he's given such insidious dialogue and direction that his motivations are immediately obvious. (Also, there’s one scene in particular where it seems no one on set pointed out that Rheon’s accent was coming through.) The writers just didn't know when to quit putting Serinda Swan’s Queen Medusa through the dramatic grinder, resulting in a scene that is unintentionally cringe-worthy. The few action scenes we find the characters in are filled with unimpressive visual effects and tepid choreography. Not even Lockjaw, the obscenely cute, giant, teleporting dog is enough to make you want to sit through another episode.

Showrunner Scott Buck’s previous Marvel credit was Netflix’s Iron Fist, which speaks volumes as to why Inhumans is just as misguided in its approach and execution. Yes, the source material for Inhumans involves a lot of out-there characters and concepts, but ever since Guardians of the Galaxy knocked it out of the park with a talking a raccoon and his tree friend, that can no longer be used as an excuse for why an adaptation didn’t turn out well. It’s clear the show was influenced by the classic Inhumans comic by Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee, but the dark, complex and gripping elements that made it great are nowhere to be seen. Even the lighter, more modern Inhumans comics of the past few years feel like they were flipped through without taking the time to truly understand their appeal.

The pickle rick episode was good, or rather, it wasn't different from the usual style of the cartoon, there is no downfall, you guys just want to see it fail

This short, as well as the post-Halloween release, ruins Coco. Nobody wants to watch a Christmas special before a Halloween-related feature.

That's some O-face you got there, buddy.

It's fairy g*d parents. Please respect Butch's religion.

>if they survive, they're fairies!

I watched the first two episodes last night. It's repulsive and disturbing but I'll be goddamned if it isn't wildly creative and clever.

>liking niggers makes you a liberal
Ok

You asked this before and people gave you detailed explanations with examples of how he's not, and yet you still asked again?

It's almost as if your goal is just to start a race debate and not to actually have a discussion.

>>95027027
Nah, if anything. Marvel will push it harder and , with any luck, fail even harder to sell it.

>>95027027
What would you do in her place? Keep in mind that Tumblr would be criticizing you instead of us.

>>95027027
She'll keep pushing out the same Schlock she always does, and we'll keep laughing like we always do, and this will keep happening until Marvel realizes that none of us are actually buying it and are just pirating it anyways and then they'll shut it down.

>Perlmutter shit

/co/'s not interested

I wasn't going to respond, but I felt sorry because it was dropping so fast and I was surprised it was going to come out in a couple of weeks. Have a bump.

Japs stopped giving a shit about Marvel when they saw all the niggers in their comics.

TBF Owlturd used to do funnier shit but this kinda shit is what sells and the man's gotta eat

Life is unironically saving him, the western concept of "dream" is childish and dangerous, 99% of people dreams are getting a near impossible job like astronaut or being the best something in the world.

They will blame the punchline thing on deadlines, but if you struggle to think of one joke a week, maybe you were never good at comedy to begin with. Most of these people aren't actually funny, but they get tons of likes so they THINK they're funny. And most of these people also, despite being insanely popular, have next to no connection with their audience because their audience doesn't give a shit about them, they're just the, "oh that looks familiar" person. That means their fans don't care about "them", they just care that they're getting cute comics for free.

So when they branch off to original stuff and see like, a 90% drop off of their fan base, they get terrified and crawl back. Then create a non-stop endless cycle of perfectly manufactured comics meant to hit the exact buttons with predictable character expressions and lazy art.

Most people don't make webcomics out of passion, they do it for exposure or for attention. Look at how many of them want to be in the /co/ industry and experienced artists always tell them, "Start a webcomic! It's a good way to get noticed". That means every person and their grandmother has a webcomic now. So the actually good webcomics get buried hard and you need to pander just to get noticed or accept your slow climb to having a fanbase.

AwkwardZombie is probably one of the few good consistently updating webcomics left.

I showed this to some friends who don't read modern comics, just old trades of Marvel and DC stuff, and they couldn't believe it was real. They legitimately thought it was some bad fanart from Tumblr.

What could you possibly mean? if there is some sort of problem, a problem like that should be apparent, and i can't see any such problem so there is literally no problem. All you have is a nice monologue about women dating women and i applaud the author for it.
And now the creators are heading towards the next issue and making another story about this. i swear, if the comic comes back as Best of the Year i'm going to be so jealous
