Why did American comics get stuck in the super hero ghetto? Manga, which is really just comics if we are being honest, covers a much wider range of themes and genres. There is a lot of truly serious, adult manga. That isn't true of comics.
I'm not trying to say that there are no good superhero stories out there, but we all know that most of this stuff is dreck.
You know why.
>>94481239
This is probably being simplistic but the Comics Codes killed a lot of genres.
A handful of the genres that weren't killed went onto thrive. One of which was capeshit.
Then a few decades after that. one of the big two played a mean trick on the other and caused them to make fucking retarded practices with their other genres and they accidentally everything but the capeshit.
So capeshit then went onto become the comic cliche.
Manga didn't have such a history, so they get more variety and never fell into the trend of shared universes making it easier to have a bunch of disconnected comics.
>>94481350
This.
On top of these issues, American consumers in general are extraordinarily cynical and tend to reject many things out of hand based on little to no meaningful evidence. Adults don't read comic books because
>Andy Griffith mentioned his son Opie reading comic books on an episode of his sitcom that aired in the 1960s, so comic books are shit for little kids and not worthy of my attention, also all the other grownups will laugh at me for not spending my money on kitchen tiles and car cars products.
Kids no longer read comics because the LCS scene and the tangled decades-long continuity are an enormous barrier to entry.
The only people who buy comic books in America are adults who grew up reading them, and the occasional handful of misfits who don't like shopping for tiles & grout. The population who buy comics in USA and Canada is MAYBE 300,000 people. The combined population is 358,246,147 people. 0.08% of the possible market actually buys comics.
So the publishers just double down on what sells, content to tread water because none of them knows the first thing about marketing. There ARE a wide range of comics about every topic under the Sun, but you just don't find out about them because they aren't advertised, they're sold to maybe 10-15k people, and ignored by everyone that isn't already knee-deep in floppy staplebacks.
Worst gem thread?
That's not Pearl.

What is /co/'s opinion on Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends? I remember liking it very much as a child and think about downloading and rewatching it to see if the magic is still there.
/co/'s main point of contention seems to be Bloo, and I won't deny the writers turned him into a huge dick,
so maybe use him as a meter. Once you find him unlikable, stop watching - he won't get any better.
Honestly, there are some genuinely rage-inducing episodes.

But the good ones make up for the bad ones by a lot, especially the movies. and the art direction is honestly one of my favorites of any CN show.
The show's a solid 3/5 for me. When it's bad it's god awful but when it's good it's wonderful.
It's a decent enough show.
Let's be honest. Most of us are only here for Frankie.
So this is happening.
And they'll be the ones adapting the series now.
>>94480807I liked kick ass films more than the comics. they were less edgy.
>>94480823
Don't like the taste of evil dick?

That is not a particularly controversial opinion.

>"Note: I am not going to name names here. This article isn’t about playing the shame game, and I will not be calling any particular individual out, but I most certainly will be discussing the kind of harassment and offensive dialogue that has sprung up in comics, or at the very least become far more visible, through the advent of social media."
"I won't point single out one individual, just this group of individuals."
>"However, it [social media] has also made it easier for those who would dissent to change to find and target those they feel are ruining “their” comics. And certainly of late, we have seen female creators and editors and trans creators and editors face an insane amount of hate, irrational thinking and vile speech — and yet the perpetrators have faced little to no reprimanding."
We don't care about your gender or what color you are, we just hate it when they shove their agenda in our face.
>"This is especially true of Twitter, which continues to allow users to harass trans comics creators. A major part of this may be freedom of speech laws, especially in the US, which arguably have not yet caught up to modern technologies."
Freedom of Speech isn't a law, it's a constitutional right for every U.S. Citizen.
>>94480727
>"Because since the advent of the internet, people could anonymously throw out their hatred and bile without fear."
I think he's talking about Reddit.
>"With the advent of social media, this became a more difficult situation, as this [fandom] element now had access to make their statements not just into the either, but targeted at individuals and groups. They got to see themselves as digital gatekeepers “protecting their community” from the outsiders — instead of welcoming new insights, new fans, and potentially new friends."
We don't hate new fans, we hate the shit writers taking over the industry and the people in charge making dumbass decisions.
>>94480767
>"The trolls of the internet probably feel safe in speaking their minds as they do, as the creators they idolise often do the same. There have been a number of creators who have publicly via social media made troll like comments themselves, whether it be making fun of fans who are concerned with the direction of a story or shutting them down for expressing concerns from a different viewpoint; actually threatening critics or calling them idiots or liars because they have a distaste for the site they work for or other writers at that site, or merely didn’t like a review or article they wrote; or expressing social or political views that previously they would have kept to themselves. And publishers have been few and far between in any kind of reprimand against this action."
Once again, it's called "Freedom of Speech".
>>94480811
>"This may be the biggest problem facing comics right now. If the tolls gatekeeping the community persist, it will continue to put off new people from wanting to join the community, even despite the best efforts or creators and publishers. We need to foster an environment where this kind of hatred; this kind of ownership, this kind of moral wasteland can no longer be permissible."

>"But we cannot allow that to continue. We cannot allow the validation of attacking and hurting minorities, or indeed anyone."
When did we start hating minorities in the comic industry?

Am I the only one who thinks the Teen Titans fags are the worst fanbase of all time?
>>94480288
Nope. You're not alone.
Nope, those faggots are whiny as hell and annoying
>>94480288
No I'm pretty much with you. Though, I would possibly theorize that it's just 00s fags as a whole who are very annoying, but that is simply a theory, meanwhile I know for a fact all Teen Titans fans are annoying
Why does /co/ think that this character is popular when in reality he can't even hold a book?
He has an obsessed shitposter, which is more than can be said for most characters
>>94480016
So does Bueno Excellent and he isn't popular.
Stop making this thread nobody cares anymore.
Is she the next Stan Lee?
>>94479788
Idk who that is and I have a feeling this a bait thread. Let's see if /co/ bites.They will, /co/ always fucking bites.
>>94479800
Marvel hired her as an editor out of nowhere, she clearly must be the most talented act in years.
>>94479788
If you mean she'll be harvesting the life force of celebrities for the next 50 years, well we'd have to lose the reigning lich first, wouldn't we?
THE ORIGINAL TEEN TITANS IS ON CARTOON NETWORK USA RIGHT NOW IF YOU CAN TUNE IN SO IT GETS RETARDEDLY GOOD RATINGS I DON'T CARE IF IT'S JUST A RUSE PLEASE WATCH IT
>>94479055
I don't like teen titans tho, original and reboot.
>>94479123
Shit taste. Original TT is GOAT.
You're getting Young Justice season 3, don't push your luck.
Is there any significance to CN airing Teen Titans (not Go) right now?
>>94479031
I literately do not believe you.
Trolling?
I mean they did just come off a week of almost exclusively TT:Go. Now they bring back the original (which is almost 15 years old, good god,) and stick it in the earliest 6am slot that was previously reserved for gems like Hero 108.
I dunno, it's weird. A test to see if all the whiners will bother getting up that early or tape it on their DVRs?
>>94479059
First two episodes this morning, ep3/4 tomorrow.
I'm in central time zone so it may have already come and gone for you, but you can check tomorrow's times if you don't believe me.
Any good Australian shows? Are they only good for shit posting?
>>94479009
