I swear I saw the Recess movie on TV one day before it actually came out.
You can kill yourself now.
>>91197084
Wait what?!! This franchise is still alive? How?!!!
>>91197084
How did it come to this?
Will watch
In Ultimate universe, Miles had the last name Morales, I assume due to being raised by his mother and his father not being there
But after he gave Molecule Man a old hamburger, Molecule Man did him a favor and gave him back both of his parents in the new Marvel universe
So why isn't he going by Miles Davis?
Bendis, you got some splainin to do
>>91197023
I'm guessing his last name isn't Davis because of Miles Davis and so people know he's part Hispanic
You have given this more thought than Bendis ever has
Miles grew up with both his parents. I think the "reason" he has his mom's last name was because of his father's past.
He couldn't think of a single way to get a sword out of a hole? Really?
A thousand years in the future and he couldn't find a hoverboard, a jetpack, a flying car, some random flying robot he could hire? A giant magnet? A big length of rope?
>>91196994
It was probably a magical hole. He was obviously fighting so it's probably guarded by something he had trouble with.
>>91196994
This. Pretty obvious it's more complicated than just "it's in a hole in the middle of nowhere I could just fly down with a jetpack", OP.
I'm pretty sure he was too busy fighting someone or something at the time to make an attempt to retrieve because the only time hes ever shown in his underwear is when hes fighting. Also given how weird/outlandish SJ world is its probably a bottomless hole or something
Is anyone else tired of the "deepest lore" trend in cartoons?
It seems like people thought it would make cartoons more intellectual or something, but honestly it just gave writers a pass to write really weak episode plots where the payoff is some tiny hint of a larger story that never actually gets the payoff that the episode quality was sacrificed for.
It feels like cartoonists don't know how to tell good, short, simple and impactful stories anymore. I want to extend that to most webcomic and traditional comic artists too, who rely on large anime inspired epics that go on forever with the tease of an endgame, but often burn out before getting there, and end up being a waste of everyone's time.
I think episodic cartoons and old one issue story style comics are really underrated. They let authors say more stuff without sacrificing the integrity of the characters, and the compression often led to better pacing and more cutting of the chaff, so to speak. They also have the double effect of making limited series feel longer than they actually were, thus giving them longevity that seems to have disappeared with more serialized shows and comics that just blend into one needlessly long story.
I guess what I'm saying is that it makes authors meander more than they should and while they can be executed well, overall they've been more of a negative than a positive on comics and cartoons specifically.
>>91196477
I bow before your statement good sir. For you have accurately summed up my exact thoughts on the direction cartoons have been going over the past several years in ways I couldn't fathom to put in mere words
>>91196477
Beautiful, there isn't any room for an argument.
This post is simply too appropriate and befitting to the situation at hand.
A true shame the "deepest lore" aspect hasn't been handled properly recently, I fear it will be an absurd amount of time before it is finally done right.
>>91196477
Perfectly put anon
I can't really add much to that, people, specialy inexperienced people, shouldn't try to make something so grand and extended for so long, specially if its going to end up being a dud that's solved in a short time anyway

>One tactic that worked on an issue that wasn’t a #1 recently was a special up-priced issue. “When we’re going from the $3.99 to the $9.99 Spider‑Man we almost tripled sales,” Gabriel pointed out.
>“Yes, there were incentives put on it. There were some variants, but to see triple sales on the $9.99 Spider‑Man book and to hear from half of the retailers saying, ‘This helped make our week,’ and then another portion of the retailers saying, ‘Shame on you Marvel for making us more money,’ we sit back. The only thing we have to look at are the numbers and comments like that. We’ll go with the numbers any day, because we’re interested in making us and you money.”
This guy in the comments put it best...
>The thing is while a higher priced special issue may raise sales, increasing the regular price doesn't have the same effect. It's the SPECIAL part that increases sales, not the higher price.
WHAT THE FUCK IS MARVEL THINKING?

Soon marvel will produce too many special issues that they wont be special anymore

https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/37152/marvels-david-gabriel-2016-market-shift
>ICv2: You made the comment yesterday that in October, everything changed. Can you clarify what you meant by that?
>David Gabriel: There was just a big shift in the entire industry, and there were a lot of factors behind that. I think everybody had a modicum of blame publisher-wise. I think the economy had a little bit to blame. By economy, I'm talking about what was going on in the outside world which led to people not necessarily wanting to spend money in that October-November time frame.
>I do know that, with all the returns that were coming to Diamond, there was a lot of unease in the market. There was money that was missing from the market because of those returns. There was a lot of work that retailers were doing to get all of those returns back.
>Because of that, there was anger. There was anger because of economic reasons. There was anger because of story reasons for all of us.
>There was probably a little too much product going out at that time. We all got a good kick in the ass over that. What I had said was, after looking at everything that was going on, we knew that we had to make some changes and we couldn't do anything the next month. We had to wait six months before things could start taking place. That's sort of what we're getting to now. I hope that clears it up.
>ICv2: Part of it, but I think also it seemed like tastes changed, because stuff you had been doing in the past wasn't working the same way. Did you perceive that or are we misreading that?
>David Gabriel: No, I think so. I don't know if those customers with the tastes that had been around for three years really supporting nearly anything that we would try, anything that we would attempt, any of the new characters we brought up, either they weren't shopping in that time period, or maybe like you said their tastes have changed.
>There was definitely a sort of nose-turning at the things that we had been doing successfully for the past three years, no longer viable. We saw that, and that's what we had to react to. Yes, it's all of that.
>>91196007
Means less books.
Here are some examples of Marvel literally scraping the bottom of the barrel for ideas. That is, issues of What If? played for laughs that would later become real unironic stories, and even events.
Feel free to post more if you can find them.

>>91195566
All that backlash, shit sales and DC giving out codes really did it.
>>91195566
Nice get.
This is good news, I'm legitimately happy about this, also a random bonus issue is pretty nice too, I just hope they don't try and shove more Bendis down my throat, because I've been refusing to add that dreck to my digital library.
>>91196168
>DC giving out codes
Fucking what? Dude, that's awesome, I've been complaining about not being able to read my DC comics on the go like I can my Marvel ones, I wasn't aware DC started this.
Can we the english run down of what happens from someone in some other country that got it first?
Wait they're actually fucking finishing Sky Doll???
>>91195731
I wouldn't say finishing it. They are just finally making a fourth book.
They initially released an uncolored version in like a bunch of european countries/ languages (I had to go digging to find the russian version since some rusk usually uploads the entirety of one of the comics somewhere) and they recently released the colored version also in those countries.
The English version was supposed to come out in March or something.
>>91196342
It did come out. I got the complete five cover set for the first issue. I love Sky Doll so I'm not fucking around with it.
I need you people to post /co/ characters getting massaged.
