Anyone know if there are any stories that actually go into detail about how heroes get their stuff? Headquarters, equipment, vehicles, costumes, medical, repairs, etc?
>inb4 BUT THAT'S BORING. ME WANT SEE PUNCH THINGS!
Yeah, before you even start, go fuck yourself. Exploring the logistics of hero work can easily make for a story in itself, and it's a good way to create some drama when they're low on funds or lose their sources.
And before you start on suspension of disbelief, that Grant Morrison quote that you're about to spam is regressive whoreshit, and only proves Alan Moore right about capes being childish. Don't let the beard wizard be correct about something.
So with that out of the way, pick a hero (not one who's rich) and speculate about how they keep up their operation.
It's hard to list that kind of stuff because most of it is just shown through small snippets in other stories.
Kate Spencer Manhunter has some memorable bits that show about the lifestyle of henchmen.
Simone loves to but that kind of thing in her stories as well, especially in Birds of Prey which you yourself posted.
I wish we'd get a "I don't give a fuck" writer like Priest to do a Damage Control or Damage Control-esque book about how the rest of the world operates in response to superheroes.

I don't know about heroes, but I do know that there's two DC villains that have showed up occasionally who only exist to provide infrastructure for other villains: the Tailor makes all their custom uniforms, and the Carpenter builds their lairs.
>>93161735
And there's the Broker, a villain who specializes in finding real estate including hideouts and lairs for other villains. Mostly just works in Gotham.
From my understanding the New 52 is still the predominant universe right now, but Rebirth is reintroducing fan-favorite characters and concepts back into stories. So with everything that has happened post-Flashpoint ...
Where is the JLA and their members?
Was there a JLA, and has it since disbanded?
What is the New 52 JLA?
Is Lobo an angsty stick boi or he still the Main Man we love?
If Professor Zoom is outside time and space, has he ever been affected by one of the many Universe-changing events in DC's history (This can include multiple Zooms if they have the same immunity as Thawne)?
What are the new origins of Power Girl, if there are any?
is there ANY relationship between Martian Manhunter and the Green Lantern Corps Manhunters?
Is Ted Kord still cosmically scripted to bite the dust?
What are some well known points of pre-New 52 content that have since been removed from continuity or have yet to be reintroduced?Is Harley an anti-hero or is she just an awful person who does whatever she wants
One more:
Where is Cyborg Superman in the New 52?
Basically, DC is just cherrypicking previous continuity to what they see fit and/or to what old readers would like to see again. But the way it affects the universe varies with each title.
Flash's still pretty much the same even with the addition of the two Wallys. Dr Silas and Daniel West were recently mentioned.
Superman and WW are probably the ones having the biggest shake up.
When it comes to titles like Batman or Green Lantern, which were the less affected by the new 52, it's just business as usual.
Regarding JSA, it's implied that Johnny Thunder is responsible for their disappearance, even though Jay is currently trapped in the speedforce and Kent Nelson has been kicking around.
>>93161891
Thank you for mentioning the JSA, which is what I meant to say when I said JLA. Those questions were supposed to be about the old team that sat around the big table with heroes like Kent Nelson Dr. Fate and Alan Scott GL.
Out these six shows, which one is the best and which one is the weakest
>>93161479
Avatar best.
Yellowhead show worst.
>>93161555
What's wrong with yellowhead show
None of them are the best.
Xiaolin Showdown is the worst.
>Established that Aku watched Jack for fifty years and became upset that he didn't age
>Established that Jack lost his sword immediately after his last encounter with Aku
>There is literally no feasible way that Aku wouldn't know that Jack lost his sword
>Established that the Daughters of Aku are a cult cemented by the long term absence of Aku, their presumed deity
>birth a new generation of fighters to kill the Samurai, in the hopes of bringing their God back to grace the world again
>This later becomes retconned into Aku actually returning directly to them and creating the daughters himself, negating the entire purpose of the Daughters of Aku
>All of the Daughters of Aku are killed off three episodes in, save for the love interest, while the scatting robot gets revived to do absolutely nothing
>Aku knows how to awaken his own powers in the daughters at will, knows of their existence, decides not to spawn seven Aku beasts that would surely immediately kill Jack in his drunken, swordless depressive state
>Jack has always known that mediating would bring him to the spirit world and allow him to reclaim his sword, decides not to do this until the absolute last second
>Ghost Scotsman pledges to find Jack and make him the leader of a new army, instead doesn't do this ever
>Jack's entire Suicidal Redemption Arc was that there are countless innocents he's saved, and so much of an impact he's had on the future world, that it would be wrong to take his own life just because his own way home is destroyed
>Logically, the conclusion to the story would then be that the hero accepts his losses and makes peace with what he doesn't have
>Instead the love interest gains a time traveling power out of absolutely nowhere and teleports our hero directly into a hackneyed "bittersweet" ending
Wait a minute...something's wrong here...
Samurai Jack was never good
>>93161321
How does it feel to be too dumb for a kids cartoon?
>>93161321
I had issues with Season 5, too, Anon, but some of this is explainable.
>>Established that the Daughters of Aku are a cult cemented by the long term absence of Aku, their presumed deity
>>birth a new generation of fighters to kill the Samurai, in the hopes of bringing their God back to grace the world again
>>This later becomes retconned into Aku actually returning directly to them and creating the daughters himself, negating the entire purpose of the Daughters of Aku
This for instance. Aku retreats to the Pit of Hate, seemingly for fifty years after he destroys the last time portal. They want him to come back and be a presence in the world again.
I never was a huge fan of Fries. He's a serial killer with no empathy that would kill anyone for his wife (or if they just pissed him off) that's why I like the new 52 version because they play up the sociopath angle. I don't see how I'msupposed to sympathize with the original. Am I the only one that feels this way?
nobody had sympathy for the original
everyone loves the BTAS version, though
You're confusing sympathy with empathy.
You don't feel empathy for Freeze because his methods are extreme and often violent.
You feel sympathy though because you understand what his reason is.
Or at least you should, because if you really don't sympathize with someone who is desperate to cure their wife's terminal condition I don't know what's wrong with you.
>>93161231
>Liking New 52 Freeze
Take your shit taste and go die in a fire
STILL IN THE OVEN
>>93161160
IT'S JUST BEEN REVOKED
>>93161837
WILL I HAVE IT SOON?
>Nickelodeon: a fan of one of their shows goes apeshit crazy and murders several people in the name of a character from the show
>Cartoon Network: a pedo writer self-inserts his fetishes and himself into the show as a romantic interest for an obviously underage girl
So what's Disney got in store for us this summer?
>>93160936
toffee's sex tape I hope
>>93160936
They already got enought corpses in thier basement for 2 centuries, they don't need a happening
>>93160936
They finally start honoring Walt Disney's hopes and dreams by establishing a Nazi party in America... It replaces the Democrats in 2020
>How do you want your muscle girls episode /co/ ?
JUST
Also what are some other cartoons with episodes based around fetishes?
Thumbnail looked better.
I'm looking for the Zen Pencils comic where the guy destroys his entire life trying to look like a warrior from Skyrim, but I can't find it on the authors website.
Did he delete it because he realized how stupid it was?
>>93160537
>trying to look like a warrior from Skyrim
The second panel has him watching Game of Thrones but you probably forgot this part. The quote being maimed is by Charles Bukowski who was talking about the business of living honestly and courageously in a repressed button-down world, not LARPing like a fucktard.

Whats /co/'s opinion on the movie Heavy Metal?

Pretty awesome 14 year old-core.
>>93160343
I saw it when I was 9.
Probably to early, but it changed my life.
Narratively a mess, visually fantastic, popularized bikini armor and swordswomen in Japan so I have to honor it as the roots of my fetish.
okay but who was this?
I think it's one of whatever these were from the final issue of the Samurai Jack comic. If they had an episode in the show, I don't remember it.
In other words: Probably no one of significance. A personified mcguffin.
>>93160162
They were one of the slaughtered villages in the Ultrabot episode (guys on the bottom left)
>>93160083
It was phone.
It was phone all along.
Come on..
Before Aladdin freed the Genie, Jasmine could've got three wishes, the Sultan could've got three wishes. Fuckin' Abu could've gotten three wishes. They could've wishes to all be sorcerers, to have world peace, the end of all diseases....
>>93159845
But there would've been drawbacks.
Like "everyone with a disease dies, but disease is erased, forever."
>>93159938
Disney's Genie didn't seem to work in that jerky, ultra-nitpicky way. He didn't fuck everyone else over to benefit the wisher. For instance, Jafar wished to be the most powerful sorcerer in the world- Genie could've just taken away the abilities of all other sorcerers in the world, but instead made Jafar an absolute badass.
Also Genies can't kill anyone. Forcing people to die of a disease probably falls under that category.
>>93160075
Disney's Genie is the exception to the rule.
What if a different genie prolongs the suffering of the diseased? By making them immortal?
career jobbers
>>93159810
Muh, mind.

Can't have someone interesting win with an interesting powerset. That'd go against our motto: "rrrrgh i hit thing bad guy fall down"

>he has to constantly job for the story to stay interesting
Was the Fall and Rise of Captain Atom Mini series any good?
>>93159592
not really.
>>93159592
>>93159600
if you liked whatever Bates and Weisman were doing then, you'd like what they're doing there.
I thought it was fairly enjoyable overall.
This parody series shows why the X-Men turned to shit the past 15 years.
