Either that, of it will be mighty no.9. These threads are so dead it makes me wonder if I will drawfag ever again.
What does DC have against Carol, exactly? At this point, it's just sad that she's constantly being passed around like a piece of meat, not being allowed any agency or even a life outside of which idiot the writer wants her to fuck.
Did everyone just forget that she's supposed to be a somewhat ruthless businesswoman who builds aircraft for a living? Hell, did everyone forget that she's a classical Green Lantern villain?
I figure that either, nobody involved with Green Lantern is interested in her, yet keep her around for whatever reason instead of just having her fuck off back home, or they're all too stupid to put two and two together and have her use her access to alien technology to corner the untapped commercial spacecraft market on Earth.
Poor Carol, she's been treated worse than Wonder Woman over the years, and that's saying something.
>STILL no Carol doll
it's sickening

>Zatanna Zatara is one of the most powerful magicians to walk the Earth, capable of altering the fabric of reality with one backwards word.
>But what was she like in college?
>If you’ve ever been a college student, you know it’s a highly unique time in a person’s life. You’re a newly minted adult, free to make your own choices, but those choices are complicated by the fact that you haven’t yet settled into the person you’ll ultimately become. It’s an unpredictable and wild time in most people’s lives. So imagine what it’s like when magic is thrown into the mix.
>This is the background of MYSTIK U, an upcoming prestige-format limited series written by Alisa Kwitney (Destiny) and drawn by Mike Norton (Revival, Runaways) that will reimagine the lives of four of DC’s magic users in spectacular new ways. To give us the background on this unique new title, we spoke with both Alisa and Mike about what readers can expect when classes start this fall.
>So what is Mystik U about?
Mike: Mystik U is about a sheltered show biz kid (Zatanna), a bitter rebel (Sebastian Faust, son of Felix), a split personality (Enchantress), a competitive premed student (new character Pia Morales), and an awkward prodigy (Sargon the Sorceror) all discovering that they have the capacity to perform real magic.
They’re enrolled at a university for the magically gifted, where the world’s most powerful practitioners of magic will mentor their fledgling talents…and try to discover which of them is fated to betray the others and become a powerful force of evil.
>Sounds like we can expect plenty of magic. What else can we expect?
Alisa: Human stuff. The first year of college is a kind of theater where people improvise themselves—sometimes they change their names, and they might adopt a whole new way of dressing along with a new passion. It’s also a place where you might discover that, after years of being on the bottom of the food chain in high school, there are people who recognize your talents. But the opposite can also occur—you realize that you’re no longer the best in the class at something. Mystik U is very much a story of freshman orientation for Zatanna and the others, but on magickal steroids.
Mike: An interesting take on a story you may have thought you knew. I’ve really enjoyed looking at some of these characters in a way I never did before!
>Is there a villain?
Mike: Gotta have a villain!
Alisa: There is definitely a villain, but there’s also an exploration of the villain’s journey. One of the things I always loved about Harry Potter was the unfolding of the story of the young Tom Riddle and how he came to be Lord Voldemort. If I could ask J.K. Rowling to write a book for me, it would be the complete tale of Tom Riddle’s school days at Hogwarts.
>Some of your core cast members—like Sargon the Sorcerer—aren’t as well known. Why did you pick this particular cast?
Alisa: I wanted some of the more obscure magical characters from the DCU because I knew I would have the freedom to explore different aspects of them. For example, it seemed clear to me that Sargon should be from the Middle East. The historical Sargon of Akkad was the founder of a dynasty that ruled over what is now Iran and Iraq and beyond. I also wanted to look more closely at Sargon’s relationship with his ruby. Does it give him his powers, or enhance them? And at what cost?
I wanted a brooding, aloof, tormented Heathcliff type, because that’s always sexy, and Sebastian Faust fit the bill perfectly. I mean, he gets his powers because his father, the evil sorcerer Felix Faust, betrays him and uses him. And Faust (the son) needs to conceal his eyes with dark glasses because he’s not in complete control of his power. That’s just deliciousness to a writer. I don’t know why everyone hasn’t been clamoring to write more Faust.
As for Enchantress, I wanted to show a different side of her. I don’t see June Moon and Enchantress as a good girl/bad girl split, or a clear case of possession. I mean, who hasn’t gone to college and experimented a bit and discovered a new side of themselves?
>Jane is a scientists
What is this bullshit? Everyone else besides Rosie and Jane is on point.
>Dat Rosie.
>>94713901
Considering that George gets fired every other episode, Jane obviously needs to be the one to bring home the bread.

>the robot maid that sucks like a hoover
Why is the "lovable old pervert" trope so exclusive to /a/nime? I think many /co/ related things would benefit from having a character like that
>>94713440
ITS THE
NUT
SACK
This thread will just turn into bitching about SJWs.
Sexual harassment is taken more seriously in the West, and such a character would be accused of promoting misogyny/sexism.
What was your favorite thing about this cartoon?

there i said it
I spend a lot of time thinking about how Blythe smells
The fact that it was just like the horse show, except better.
-no obnoxious fanservice
-no retarded status quo changes just to push toy lines
-no autistic fanbase to shit everything up
-more consistent writing quality
among other things
Why do women always get the short end of the stick when it comes to representation in superhero comics?
>>94712910
Comics are for boys and most boys don't like reading about inherent girl problems that pop up in the lives of female heroes.
>>94712950
There are plenty of female readers who'd love to see themselves in comics.

Is this how you do a legacy hero right?Seriously, why do I like Toni so much and Riri so little?
Riri was made backwards by one of the worst mainstream writers around solely to get royalty money.
>>94712439
Because Riri was shoe-horned in. Toni was integrated well into an already established chronology.
Like seriously? They already had a black genuis girl in the Iron Man storyline.
Fucking Rhodey's NIECE
She's why Riri bothers me so much because it shows they didn't even look into the pre-existing world for characters to use they just started again.
>>94712554
The focus issue the OP pic is from was actually a really great issue. Toni has been around for two series but this was the first time they really plugged her background, and they put her in a situation similar to the one her dad was in with Tony Stark himself. Worked very well.
That said she's pretty much given up the Iron Patriot mantle as of this issue of USAvengers.

Dude's excited about being upgraded from a fucking bench-top appliance and this bitch ruins it for him. Are we really meant to sympathize with this woe is me crap?
Yes, because the creator is shit.
We don't like it here, and we already saw that they don't like it on QC forums. What more is there to discuss?

What was in Castle Greyskull that SKeletor wanted so bad?
Ten thousand dollars in unmarked bills.
Nothing, he just wanted to see what was going on.

>on a live action Peter Pan for Disney
There have been about 3 of them in the last 20 years. And I'm not even counting tv shows. I don't think a single ones turned a profit.
Fuck you I liked it
What the fuck are they going to do once they've run out of movies to remake? Remake them again? This is getting ridiculous.
I've seen Maleficent and Beauty and the Beast. Both were shit. I'm sure the rest of them are/will be shit too.
