So what do you guys think of the new Robin?
Someone said he was a chicken, but honestly, nobody is as brave as Batman. Everyone looks like a chicken in comparison.

Earth is spectacular one of the best Marvel comics
The other two are not nearly as good but I enjoy them.

Sounds a lot like your life.
Why did Cal Arts become a boogyman for the horrible state of TV animation in the west? Why do people consider them to be he ones at fault for the current homogenized artstyle? Shouldn't Disney be to blame for taking up all the talent in the industry? I think we should blam the lack of passion in general.

CalArts is just a simple, easy to articulate boogeyman that doesn't need a lot of explaining. To be honest, I wonder why Pen Ward and J.Q Quintell didn't become the boogeymen (they were the first to successfully adopt the writing and art style of modern toons).

He's not posting the usual bait, he's asking why Calarts is considered responsible.

The more I think about it, the more I realize DC chose the wrong all powerful dick to be behind everything.

Stardust is public domain and an obscure meme on the internet and with comic hipsters

>>83637457
If Stardust was part of the DCU I would cast him as a kind of proto-Spectre, due to his dark but occaisonally humurous way of destroying people

If batman didn't actually die during this time period (I think he was sent back in time) who the fuck is this.
Also why'd they tell me this was a good event...it was a stupid fucking mess.
>event caused cost of too many People returning from the dead
>use as an excuse to bring back more dead people
And people like this asshole of a writer for anything beyond his aquaman?

His Flash and JSA were also legitimately good. Beyond that, not so much.

Probably one of Darksied's clones from Final Crisis? Was that before this...? Similar to how Dick-Bats dropped a fake one in a lazarus pit and it beat the shit out of everyone!
The joke's on you, Jim! Now Batman will rape YOU!

A little bit before people started asking when it started.
So a close friend of mine asked an interesting question. How come no one was interested in Johnny? She says he was a handsome character and she was surprised he didn't get any episodes where the girl was really interested in him. I think aside from the reindeer I don't think there was...

he's an 8-year-old boy. that's why he's always playing with Susie, lives with his mom, etc

Because he's an oblivious sexist?

Who is this? In Captain America: Steve Rogers the kids make fun of Steve once wearing an armor with orrendous shoulder pads so I immediately thought it was him but I can't find anything similar to this (THOSE pads, THAT mask).
Where is this from?

Tails Gets Trolled is a comic where Porky Pig uses Satanic powers to hang himself.
It truly is amazing.

Wake me up.
I'm actually fucking interesting in this show after like 6 seasons of ignoring it and hoping it would go away.

Nope. I'm watching the new season now, I guess. And he's alive again.

If you hadn't been ignoring it, you'd realize it's not at all a bad show. It's a perfectly serviceable action cartoon.

Bart Allen is the son of a Thawne and an Allen.
>The Thawne's are really Allen's descending from Barry's unknown twin brother
So isn't Bart the product of incest

No, that's 1000 years of Thawnes. You're basically not related after that much with the genes getting watered down so often.

Well we're talking about a single common ancestor that spans centuries. At that point of genetic diversity would've probably stepped in.

I think I'm articulating what most of us are already thinking and a small minority don't quite understand when I say that the audience can only get so shocked. When your observing media, shock, by its very nature, will only come from something unexpected. As such, as writers try harder and harder to shock and offend the viewer, they will either stop reading do to shock and offense, or get used to the new, dark tone. Unless, of course, the viewer is a total edgelord, but lets not talk about them.
That said, shock can be used effectively, especially if its mixed in with other emotions. The execution of Eddard Stark is a good example of effective shock in a story that's already chocked-full f potentially "edgy" material, because no one expected him to die AND his death had serious emotional impact on other characters.
"Edge" is what happens when non-dynamic characters encounter constant shocking/offensive situations, and usually responding with "dark" humor or straight-faced cynicism. Essentially, "edge" refers to the idea that since shock CAN be effective in storytelling, a good story could logically be something that only tries to shock and offend the viewer.
As I see it, ways to avoid an "edgy" story, despite being dark
1. Have the character react dynamically to what's happening. don't just have a panzer-man stay a panzer in the face of all the violence he's used to. have him struggle with reality and grow as a person, either slowly becoming a panzer-man or trying to find what little good remains in the world
2. Pacing. if you have your villain rape some woman we've never met, it won't come as a shock when he rapes 3 women we've never met the next issue. to truly be unexpected (IE shocking) dark moments must be few and far between in a work that has some optimistic elements.
3. Slapstick. because, lets face it, edge is dumb. but if you embrace how dumb it is, you can get shit like "superjail"

I don't agree because you start at a place using buzzwords and already assuming the thing is bad.
This guy posted a new analysis on Saga. Saw his Moon Knight one on here the other day and it was pretty good.

This is the type of reviews I like. Where they get into the specifics of how comics are made. Thanks anon, I'm going to listen to more of this stuff

Someone posted the MK one the other day. Not seen the Southern Bastards one before.
I like these because you don't often get people going into he specifics of it. Most reviews just say "art is okay, great writing" or whatever.
>>
>>83638822
I like how he highlights the geometry in the Moon Knight one, very informative

On the subject, what happened to Creature Shop Challenge? I thought it had good ratings.
>>
>>83638665
it did! nobody knows why it wasn't renewed. my guess is it was ridiculously expensive, or else the creature shop simply isn't getting enough business to justify giving out jobs as prizes
