I'm sick of pretending. Can we all please just go back to acknowledging that Mark Millar is good? At least by present standards
I haven't followed him in a while, but Millar is Brexit? I thought he was all for Scottish independence?
>>83423091
That's probably why
Brexit could lead to a new Scottish referendum since the Scottish public are overwhelmingly pro-remain
>>83422725
I've always said he was good. Anyone who says otherwise is just being contrarian.

I enjoyed the lot of them. He's one of the few writers who can write convincing dialog and he's great at peppering in character moments in his stories. I consider the gratuitious edge just icing on the goddamn cake.
John K's personal life and attitude aside, how do you feel about this show and it's adult-oriented spin-off?
Does it hold up to you?
>>83422520
The original show: 8/10 Yeah it does still hold up. The animation was great (specially during the John K era) and the jokes were funny. Its also one of those shows that everyone copies. Everybody does the gross close-ups and reaction faces.
The reboot: Its shit/10 While at times the animation was nice the jokes weren't funny just shocking and edgy it was like Family Guy before Family Guy. Its actually more outdated than the original as the original came out at a time when everybody was trying to outdo South Park in gross out Mature humor.
>>83422708
Isn't Ren and Stimpy older than South Park?
>>83422708
Pretty much what this guy said. I'd say the show is actually better when you are older just because you can really appreciate how fucked up some of the jokes were at the time.
Hey guys my fiance is asking me to give her comics to read which is awesome. But here's what sucks, she wants comics with like a strong female lead or whatever that means.
What are some comics with good female characters? I'm not talking forced meme bullshit like Captain Marvel or Wonder Woman, I'm talking genuinely good/interesting characters.
Captain Marvel sucks but Wonder Woman is cool, don't be like that.
comics are for boys

There you go
>writing process consists of developing gags first, linking a coherent story between them later
>uniquely-styled score recorded every episode, paced with in-episode events (with unique sounds for gags)
>sound effects carefully picked out and re-used with specific kinds of jokes (along with voiced lines for background reasons)
>each kid has an immediately recognizable face value personality with additional underlying features (that are retained between episodes)
>all of it is hand-drawn, including environments, and moves authentically (i.e.: something hanging will bounce with movements)
>balances verbal humor with cartoony slapstick, every voice actor does their lines 10 times each to get it perfect
>pacing is ideal; nothing is too fast or too slow
>made on a very cheap budget for the era which is why it was picked up to begin with
This honestly might be one of the best animated series ever made yet it always takes backseat to Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Lab, etc.
>it always takes backseat to Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Lab
no, both of those cartoons lose their appeal without nostalgia goggles
Honestly? Because it looks gross. Dexters lab and PPG have a more palatable style.
>>83422571
Less people are wearing Nostalgia Goggles for EE&E

even when they were kids people were normalfags, amazing
This picture makes me chuckle, How is Apocalypse even compareable to Thanos or Darkseid?

Big colored jobber with a weird face
Better version
Appoc is has complete molecular control of his own body. In theory, this means he can give himself any power he can conceive of, whilst being virtually immortal.
If he didn't job to everyone constantly, he's certainly at least a Thanos tier threat.
Not a company wars thread but why are DC's black heroes lame compared to Marvel's?
I like Steel but that's about it
even Bloodwynd is better than those losers
DC has Mr. Terrific and John Stewart.
Your argument is invalid.
>>83422152
Marvel pushed pretty hard to have black characters starting in the '60s, and in the '70s they tried to get in on the blaxploitation craze with Luke Cage.
DC took longer to get in on that, so they have fewer black characters who go back a long time. Luke, Sam, Storm were all created in the '70s and benefit from seniority.

that shocking for nickelodeon, i give them props for spacing it out even though it sucks for people who like it
I'm honestly really surprised Green Lantern stuck around past the Silver Age
The child of a WWII fighter pilot who gets his powers from a downed UFO out near Roswell- I can't think of a character that is a better example of "product of their time." Sure you can always update the origin by pushing the dates forward, but I feel a good amount of the thematic ideas surrounding the character are lost.
I'm just surprised he didn't fall down some stairs and die.
>>83421904
Most people dont know where he came from anymore
>>83421980
I'm surprised he hasn't been featured on To Catch a Predator yet.
I have to say, HANK. FREAKING. SCORPIO. Unfunny meme character.
>>83421636
He's only there for a single episode.
And he was actually pretty funny.
I think Bart's overrated. He's done nothing interesting lately.
Also Hank was funny, you're just in denial.
Scorpio is fine, but not great or anything. Also not the biggest fan of Krusty.
Is Singularity the only character that can match Kamala in CUTE?
Singularity, Kobik and Troll are top tier cutiess

Based on the solicitations for Totally Awesome Hulk, it's probably Bruce Banner.
Was this the absolute worst Iron Man suit?
Maybe but the concept for it wasn't. I still think the Heroes Reborn armor was the worst, mostly thanks to Lifeld.

Just look at it.

havsne't you seen the hreads in recent days?
>>83420815
I think he just posted to show off the sizzle reel, which is new.
Though it was stupid to have daily threads for bios you can read off from the main website anyway.

is that the good korra studio or the bad one
Ultimate Marvel Storytime
>What's being storytimed?
Ultimate Marvel, later known as Ultimate Comics, was an imprint of comic books published by Marvel Comics, featuring re-imagined and updated versions of the company's superhero characters from the Ultimate Universe. The imprint was launched in 2000 with the publication of the series Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimate X-Men, providing new original stories for the characters. The Marvel Multiverse, which comprises an infinite number of galaxies and alternate universes, calls this universe Earth-1610.
>Why are you doing this?
Because there's a lot of good stuff that people ignored that deserves recognition and even the bad stuff can be fun.
>Why this order?
I originally planned on doing USM to Death of Spider-Man, but I want to do the rest now. I've separated things into groups for convenience.
>Where can I catch up?

The kids go to the food court, where Nightcrawler gets a brain freeze from his first milk-shake; to a record store, where Cyclops and Jean pick up a new album by mutant singer Dazzler; and to the arcade, where Jubilee accidentally destroys one of the machines with her powers and has to playfully evade the security guards using gymnastics.
