Can someone explain to me why some people think watchmen can't be anything else than a comic, apart from the fact that it's a critique of the superhero genre. Don't get me wrong, I didn't like the movie and the comic is great, I just don't understand why

>Can someone explain to me why some people think watchmen can't be anything else than a comic
It's not that it "can't" be, it's just that as a result of Moore and Gibbons' construction of the text and visuals specifically for comic format; whatever else blooms from that would be a branch of the tree, not the tree.

It's dense as all fucking hell, there'd be no really good way to introduce the audience to the supplementary material (Hollis' book, Rorschach's papers, not to mention the fucking Pirate comic).
Also pretty much what >>91757565 said. The 9 panel layout of the comic flows so fucking well while the movie had scenes that just dragged and dragged.
>>91757781
I actually think the movie did close to the best translation it could have done, but inevitably something was going to get lost in changing format

Having good taste doesn't mean you're gay.
Though being gay means you have good taste.

Do writers hate Gambit?
>>91757372
Fans hate Gambit.
>>91757372
A lot do, but more are just uninterested in him. So he has become irrelevant unless someone wants to use him to support Rogue.
>>91757372
I forgot Gambit existed. Damn, where is the ragin' Cajun?
Will this put in the running to be the best since DnA?

The movie was infinitely superior.
The cartoon played the action straight, which ruined the joke.
I want to read Batman and Superman comics but considering its atleast 60 years old I cant read that much so from where should I start reading to get the story and the relationships between the characters?
self bump
Here's a tip:
Comics are not a saga, they're a setting. Batman is not one ongoing story, it's just lots of different stories using the same characters and universe.
So you're not looking for a place to start and go forward, because that's not how comics work.
But we can point you towards some good stories that are good for beginners.
Batman:
>Batman: Year One
>Batman: Hush
>Batman Vol. 1: The Court of Owls
Superman:
>Superman: Secret Origin
>Superman: Action Comics, Vol. 1: Superman and the Men of Steel
>Superman/Batman Vol. 1
These are the extremely beginner-friendly ones many start with. Through those you should be able to understand the self-contained nature of most of these stories and how continuity does not matter between the stories, just that you know who the characters are.
All of those can be found on Amazon or Comixology or most book stores.

thanks for the advice, where would you suggest I go after that?

For me it's Rick - inteligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor.
Swing music. Jazz. Phooey! Ah, bublichas, how difference in my native willage. Soft music, wiolins, the happy peoples sitting on their balalaikas, playing their samovars. And then, there was Cucaracha. Ah, Cucaracha: so round, so firm, so fully packed, and so easy on the draw. They would sink to me a little gypsy love song, like this. Listen. CUCARA-CHA! Cucaracha,
cucaracha - hoo hoo hoo hoo! Cucaracha, cucaracha - hoohoohoohoo!
Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina In the morning No one could be sweeter than my sweetie when I meet her In the morning Where the morning glories twine around the door Whispering pretty stories I long to hear once more Strolling with my girlie where the dew is pearly early In the morning Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each little buttercup at dawning If I had Aladdin's lamp for only a day I'd make a wish and here's what I'd say Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the moooooorning

cant agree harder.
though there would be no reason to have repeated appearances by scrooge mcmouse and his fucking adorable daughter, and ratigan could only be used so many times without being overused
>>91881296
It'd be hard to outdo Ratigan, but the show would lend itself well to a mystery-of-the-week style format with a new criminal every week and some huge case taking like 3 episodes for the season finale.also weekly waifus

alright you got mebut am i the only one for whom the miss kitty mouse does nothing? that's like, what grandpas think is sexy
What episodes would you cut out from the show entirely to help better the show?
>>91881084
All of them.
>not so subtle thread for asking what episodes to skip so anon can just watch plot episodes
how about we cut the whole show
its earth day and there is no captain planet thread, i understand that CN betrayed us but not /co
It's too late, the rich have got this planet so fucked that we peons couldn't turn it around if we tried. Obama tried his ass off, the Trump ran in waving a "global warming is a Chinese hoax" flag and now we're fucked again. We're too fucking stupid to utilize tidal energy. Rarrgarbl

So what about a revival and actually talk about conservation and such. Encourage people to install Solar Panels and the systems that allow them to sell power back to the companies.
Promotions of benefits does more than fear mongering and shaming.

we've been promised a movie for years but i havent heard jack about it, lets burn this damned earth until they fall to our demands
Does he have his own rogues' gallery yet? what about an Arch villain?
>>91755326
He had some lame villain in his uncle, but the rest of his rogues are copped from the real Spider-man.
Ms. Marvel barely has a rogues gallery.
That in general is something modern marvel struggles with.
Does he still win every fight with spider tasers?
NEVER travel to Wakanda.
They are the most condescending people I have ever met. They treat everyone as if they came from third world shitholes, they don’t even pretend to give a fuck about anyone outside their borders, not even with tourists.
>Be regular white male from first world country
>In a mood for an exotic destination
>Decide to spend vacation in Wakanda
>As soon as I step out of the airport get beaten up by nignogs taunting me
>”WE WUZ KANGZ AND SHIET” or something
>Get robbed because “YOU DON’T DESERVE THINGS, WESTERN SCUM”
>On a corner, bleeding, while some other niggers approach
>”Look at this white ass bitch boy” says one
>Shows a little piece of metal
>”This is a vibranium coin. It probably is, like, 4000$ in whatever your currency is"

Anybody else get their hands on one?That's Gerard Way's hand in the picture, not mine.
>Gerard Way: “Into The Cave We Wander” / “Pogi’s Cavern”; 12” Picture Disc in Clear Vinyl Sleeve. Limited to 5,000.
>Two new recordings from Gerard Way have been written to go with the comic book series CAVE CARSON HAS A CYBERNETIC EYE from DC’s Young Animal pop-up imprint. The 12” picture disc comes in a clear vinyl sleeve and includes the following: a 32-page comic featuring an all-new three-page story by Gerard Way and Michael Allred; previews of four DC’s Young Animal comics—DOOM PATROL, SHADE, THE CHANGING GIRL, CAVE CARSON HAS A CYBERNETIC EYE and MOTHER PANIC; and an 11”x 17” poster featuring characters from each of the series, drawn by Nick Derington. The songs were written and recorded with Ray Toro and produced by Doug McKean, Ray Toro and Gerard Way.
> The picture disc itself was created by DCYA designer Paul Rentler @prentler using Michael Avon Oeming's @oeming art from the series as well as older Cave Carson artwork. The line art for the cover of the Young Animal Mixtape comic is by Doom Patrol series artists and partner of mine @nickderington who also came up with the title of the comic. The coloring was executed by Doom Patrol series colorist Tamra Bonvillain. The Mixtape Comic includes an original 3 page story by @allredmd on line art, Laura Allred on colors, Carlos M. Mangual on lettering, myself writing, and edited by Jamie Rich and Molly Mahan. The rest of the book features the Young Animal creative team’s work on their respective titles and are provided as a sampler. You get a look at all core-4 Young Animal books.
