Are there any examples of writers that actually hate the characters they're writing in a way that it is obvious in the book itself?
>>
>>79813026
Ennis did that a lot, but he hates everyone that its not Punisher, Superman or hulk
>>
>>79813026
Frank Miller writing Superman.
>>
>>79813026
Popular answer is Frank Miller, but to be honest, I didn't find he misused Superman in Dark Knight Returns. I wouldn't even say Superman lost that fight, considering he only left with a bruise.

It didn't seem as hate fueled as people say.
Has Miller gone on record saying he hated Superman?
>>
Ellis and Dr. Druid.

Reading Punisher Max right now (just got out of Born and In the Beginning, respectively) and I do not regret it. Holy fuck.
>>
>>79813205
Ennis hates almost all capes and pretty much stated that more times than fucking Moore did, he made Punisher kill Hulk once and steamroll fucking Wolverine, the only character he respects is superman, so much that he did not made fun of him on All stars section 8
>>
>>79813026
Alan Moore.
The entire cape genre.
>>
>>79813117
Dark Knight Returns is not a good example of that.
But try All star Batman and Robin, that had some fine "Superman is dumb and Batman is super smart"-shit going on.

I've been having a blast with storytimes of pain though, so I might make a blind storytime thread about it if I ever find the time.

A couple of years ago he denied it in a written interview, but in a recent DC youtube video he gladly accepts it.
>>

Classic Frank.

Bendis and the X-men
>>
>>79813026
The first few issues of that Brazilian Mega Man comic that was written by someone who hated all non-Brazilian media and was determined to kill off all the Mega Man characters and replace them with his own OC (to the point of having said OC make a multi-page speech about ethnically cleansing all licensed characters out of a licensed comic) until the editor finally caught on and fired him.
>>
>>79813117
>Has Miller gone on record saying he hated Superman?

He hasn't. In his mind DKR was a Batman story so he set up Superman as an antagonist. If you actually read the text closely and also the plot draft in the back of the TPB, you'd see that Miller did try to give Superman a fair shake.

If someone reads DKR and can only think, "Superman is government stooge, Batman beats Superman" then they really, really didn't get the book. I don't care if they claim to be a fan or a hater of DKR, if that's all they got then DK2 is the book they really want.
>>
Bendis in his Avengers run... He clearly hates Scarlet witch, Ant-man, Vision, She-hulk, Pym and wonder man
>>
>>79813705
Has it been translated? That sounds fucking hilarious.
>>
>>79813712
The other thing is that in the 80's, he was going to work with Steve Gerber on a revamp of Superman, but it didn't get approved. And there's been a few times that Miller said he wants to do a Superman project (he recently said he wants to do one in which Batman is the antagonist instead)
>>
>>79813756
>he recently said he wants to do one in which Batman is the antagonist instead
The only thing that comes to mind is that he may want to do something like Superman calling batman in his bullshit about not killing because he pretty much puts people on hospitals for life daily
>>
>>79813026
Slott on Spider-Man.

Ellis wrote a (very) short lived Dr. Druid ongoing that ended with him dying in the most pathetic way possible.

Ignoring the troll posts.

Bendis has gone on the record as hating Carnage and "killed him" in his Avengers run.

He was pressured into creating the Ultimate version by fan demand though he felt he had an interesting story for a carnage version.

Interestingly, he also hated Venom, and was also pressured into making an ultimate venom by fan demand. His Venom version is pretty far removed from the regular universes venom (at the time). 10+ years later, he now has made huge changes to Venom to make him something he doesn't deplore.
>>
>>79814182
It's funny, cause his carnage was awful and weird and had no payoff.

There is an author's rant in the first page but it's in portuguese only.

It basically says:
being a cartoonist in Brazil is a shitty job, the original characters from the authors are never published, the editors are assholes that only want to get money from shitty gringo characters while making said gringo companies richer. The author was forced by the editors to imitate the shitty Japanese style. Brazilian cartoonist are starving artists and the Brazilian readers should support local artists and characters more so they can make a living.

hahahahaha, for fuck sakes , why he took the job then ?

Ennis dedicated a whole issue of Hitman to explain why out of all super heroes, Superman is the only one who doesn't suck.

Then he wrote 2 comics where Green Lantern (Kyle) and Lobo are raped by Bueno Excelente.
>>
>>79814453
>>79814499
>>79814594

the first page rant also says the comic is not based on the Mega Man TV show that is a glorified advertising to sell action figures so his comic will ignore it completely and it's instead based on the Video Game and because the Video Game's plot it's' just about a blue robot running left to right shooting other robots he'll have to do the best he can do to adapt the plot into a coherent comic book narrative and he hopes you'll enjoy the comic anyway.

The author died in 2012 btw

Rip in piece
>>
>>79814617
Hey, Kyle getting raped didn't happen on panel or anything

but he did tell everybody about it
>>
>>79814617
I personally like to believe Bueno saved Kyle from a rapist. Remember, he fights evil with the powers of perversion, not good.
>>
Ennis shit is like reading fanfiction written by a 15 year old edgelord from 1996 in a pantera tshirt.
>>
>>79815053
this seems more likely, could kyle even survive a bueno rape?

And yet, he still hates him. Notice how he manages to always leave him out of everything. Even covers.
>>
>>79813589

You don't say shit like that without showing the video
>>
>>79813729

I think it's rather too easy to read into shit like this. The Star Trek writers didn't hate Worf. The Breaking Bad writers didn't hate Jesse.

Typical delusional "artiste" uppity bullshit. Mega Man also jumped quite frequently.
>>

His carnage played like a freak of the weak tv villain. That episode where a shapeshifter takes the form of a formerly deceased character.

Only he actually made carnage bring back a character later on. It kinda made no sense
>>
>>79816042
Yes, but Bendis really does hate Scarlet Witch.
>>
>>79816502
You're pretty right about that, considering he seems to enjoy shitting on her with M-Day, I remember him using Young Jean to shit on her. He can say he doesn't hate her all he wants, but he obviously does. Just like how he seems to hate Vision and her being together.

The Ultimate Carnage storyline was weak. Everything about it felt contrived and dull. I will say, though, that Carnage being an evil Peter clone wasn't a bad idea.

>One, Tygra needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. Two, whenever Tygra's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Tygra"?

Geoff Johns doesn't exactly "hate" Wally West and Kyle Raynor, but its obvious he has a problem with them being flagship legacy characters.
>>
>>79816805

I thought Carnage was an evil Richard Parker clone.

Gwenage was so out of left field, underdeveloped and unexplained, absolute garbage.

Hmmm, I wonder if I should outsource the art on my projects to Brazilians and pay only peanuts? Sounds like a win/win

Not a comic book, but apparently the current head writer for Adventure Time hates Finn as a character and is the reason he's such a loser now.
>>
>>79818384

I find it hard to believe a show with that much equity would have a writer like that for long.
>>
>>79818033
Wally is Geoff's favorite character. Van Sciver talked him and Didio into bringing Barry back, which he did under the premise that there would be a Flash family.

It's pretty goddamn obvious from the way he completely ignored it in GL that he didn't want the reboot.

Batman's portrayed as a crazy manchild with Christian Bale's fake voice and, along with Hal Jordan, Superman is the closest character in the entire universe to actually being sane.
>>
>>79819237
>Batman's portrayed as a crazy manchild

that's Johns actually
>>79813351
>Superman is dumb and Batman is super s

No, mthe point is that Bruce is too dedicated to his mission to let his humanity take a role, and superman doesnt want to let his super-poweres (supercomputer brain) take a role, Superman is SO anti-fascist that he uses his power under democracy, he doesnt choose what he does, since he thinks it's unfair, for batman he doesnt give a fuck about the police and the will of the public. Miller takes a god and makes him a tryhard human, and takes a man and makes him a funtional lunatic ubermensch.


Miller gets both characters and pushes them to the extreme. Fuck you.
>>
>>79819459
And then the end of Dark Knight Strikes Again implies that Supes is gonna take over the world.

You ever wonder if Frank Miller is a Fascist?
>>
>>79813026
I can't remember the name of the comic or the writer, but in that Elseworlds story about the heroes of the DC Universe losing their powers you can tell that the writer wanted to ship Wonder Woman and Superman and really, really hated Kyle Rayner
>>
>>79819966
Act of God I think.

Comic writers are petty as fuck.

>>
>>79819913
>You ever wonder if Frank Miller is a Fascist?

He is, And his batman is a anarko fascist, and his superman is a traditional italic fascist.

And superheroes in general had been called that for decades, and miller makes a satire with his 2 favorites characters.
>>
>>79819092

I feel like Johns gives Batman a fair shake. To him Batman is just another member of the team instead of it being "Batman and his amazing friends!"
>>
Bendis hates anyone that another writer has ever implied has had a relationship with Kitty Pryde. Even if that writer is himself.
>>
>>79813026
Just by anyone writing Cyclops

Ennis and The Authority. It seems as if he did like the Midnighter, but he was flat-out disdainful to the rest of the team, which is admittedly hard to write.
>>
>>79813026
Bendis hate everyone tied to Pym.
>>
>>79822525
He did like Midnighter (especially enough to write the ongoing). The rest he just didn't find interesting.

I really agree. Miller really writes nicely twisted versions of the characters.

Only whiny sportsfags who only care about who beats who in fights think there's anything wrong with based Miller.
>>
>>79824344
Nothing, it's gibberish.

I think thats Ennis shitting on 'Murrican wroters who can't write UK accents.
>>
>>79813026
Frank Miller writing Superman.
>>
>>79813091

IMO Millar doesn't hate superman, it's just that Dark Knight Returns is a deconstruction, and All Star was a prequel. So Superman is more or less a lawful stupid tool, but Bats himself is sadistic, has an enormous inferiority complex around people with powers, and shouldn't be let anywhere near little boys.

Also, wonder woman is an angry feminist who swoons for big strong superman, GL is a boring, clumsy idiot, Black Canary wears fishnets and deals out gratuitous beatings full of sexy ass shots when people call her "Love Chunks."

The beauty is that those are ALL ways that those characters have been portrayed.

He's speaking in a cockney accent, which he wouldn't being born in Liverpool and raised in Northampton.

As such it's like >>79824562 says.

He said he didn't need detective skills at the beginning and then at the end he wanted Gordon to teach him detective skills because he learned he needs it.
