Max Landis can seem kind of like a pretentious hipster tool whose constant droning about what makes a good story does not seem to jive with the consistent crummy movies he wrote the script of....but i'm wondering how people feel about his comic book (debut?)
Personally I find myself digging it which is really surprising. Each story is cool and some of the interpersonal moments feel a bit 'look at how modern i'm depicting clark kent'. But beyond that i've liked each issue.
It's not a debut. He did a story in Adventures of Superman too.
Not rally a fan of AA though. I like the idea but the execution just doesn't do anything for me.

That Adventures of Superman comic was fucking awful and the reason I haven't read American Alien. I get the feeling from how much praise AA gets that I'd probably like it more, but I'm just not interested after AoS.

Affleck is doing something with Geoff Johns, what is /co/'s opinion?
Geoff Johns is shit at Batman.

He's going to take matters into his own hands, boot Snyder personally, and direct JL himself
Can someone please explain Doomsday to me? He's a kryptonian genetically modified life form, right? If he evolves and adapts to whatever kills him, what is his weakness? Also, why are people saying that he is Zod in BvS? I thought Doomsday was his own character, not an evolution of another character. Someone please help me understand how Zod could be Doomsday.
>>81060249
the comics are different than movies.
>>81060336
I have to explain this to my family/friends every time a new film comes out.
>>81060249
Doomsday is Plot Device: The "Villain". Literally no character besides "we want to kill Superman so let's pull a monster out of our ass"
I'll tell you what my perfect man would be if I was gay.
He'd have smooth soft skin, long shiny hair, a narrow waist and wide hips forming the shape of an hourglass. Pouty lips, big doll eyes, a musical high pitched voice, large supple breast-like pectoral muscles... and huge balls, something that you can really grab on to.Do the writers browse 4chan? They literally described my dickgirl fetish.

Me and stan are on the same page.
I struggle trying to read this in Stan's voice.
He said that?
Terry is dead ;_;
So where the fuck was his radar sense? Even if he couldn't hear the Hand ninjas heartbeats or anything, wouldn't they still have registered on his radar? It felt like they dialed his senses back a little bit this time around.
They're ninjas. That was the point, smart one.
Didn't you watch season 1?
>>81058601
It doesn't work like a literal radar

I hate how linear most comic book writers are when it comes to Alternate Dimensions
Like, you can't just say that there was an event that wiped all of them from existence. Because then that spawns a near infinite amount of realities where they weren't wiped out. And even more where they were. And even more where they weren't
It's a never-ending continuum of everything that can and can't exist, both existing simultaneously despite their impossibilities. Like a 2 sided coin that manages to land on both ends despite it having to land on one head

If Ewing bring back the roving Hoard of Ghost Riders I will buy every issue of whatever he puts out for a year.
That + Nova family.
Can't say I'm excited. The worldbuilding made no fucking sense. No one could decide how old it was, or whether the memories of the citizens who were convinced it was really old were fake, or what. The New York domain was a few days old and their citizens were aware of this.
Some domains seemed to be enormously big, as in Infinity Gauntlet. Some rulers would be neutralized and then appear again (Maestro). There was no good explanation given for some domains to have better technology than others. It was just a mess.

>>81056563
They'll probably follow up on him in Daredevil S3 and maybe feature him in Defenders
Just finished season 2, holy shit was it bad
Its like they didnt know whether to focus the story on the punisher or the hand. The writing dropped in so many parts
Does /co/ play Avengers Academy?
How's your campus coming along?
Favorite characters?Favorite ship?
>>81056387>favorite shipThe Quinjet.
>>81056387
No, we don't want to play your shitty mobile game. Fuck off and quit advertising it here
yeah but the mods kept deleting threads for it and made us move to /vg/
Bravo.DC
That's kind of common sense though? Things like World's Finest will pad the numbers a lot.
>>81055772
I was wondering why Jay Garrick and Alan Scott were on Superman's list, but then I remembered in the Earth-2 JSA stuff Bruce Wayne was no longer Batman.
>>81055772
isn't calling Superman "Kal-El" like calling Goku "Kakarot"? His real name is Clark Kent
Just finished up the most recent season.
It was fun and while it had a few dated references due to a fucking long ass production cycle, overall really enjoyable.
However, why the fuck is done here?
We got like half a season.
Everything is half resolved.
Are we really doing to wait another 4 years for the other half the season?
>>81055634
Yes
Also, all of the Venture Bros references are dated, it has nothing to do with long production cycles.
>>81056369
>Yes
Fuck me.
Also, how old are the characters now?
Monarch must be in his late 40s now.
Only Billy/Doc seem to look their age.
>>81056369
The Taken reference was REALLY fucking cringeworthy, and probably the low point of the entire season.
What makes Hal Jordan the greatest Green Lantern?
Bad writing.
Silver Age nostalgia.
Overuse in comics and cartoons
>Marvel makes a constant stream of soulless generic 6/10 movies
>DC makes 10 shit movies for every good one
>Sony made 2 great Spider-man movies before making 3 that are worse than Marvel but still better than DC at their worst
>Fox constantly put out good X-men movies

>Fox constantly put out good X-men movies
Let's not get ahead of ourselves, buddy.
>>81054950
Kind of amazed at how little personality the Marvel movies have. They've basically been carbon copies of the first Iron Man.
>>81054987
1 and 2 are great, feel more like a comic book adaptation than almost anything
3 is at least ambitious
origins is shit
Wolverine is as good as you could have realistically expected
First Class and DoFP are fine, 7/10s, ambitious and different though
DC Movies are kind of like the annual Groundhog Day of pop culture, if the movie is good (The Dark Knight) we can expect an early influx of elitism, brand smothering & spamming of everything and anything DC. If the movie flops (everything else) we can expect six more months of people shitting on everything Marvel in an attempt to compensate for their bitterness. It's really a no win for civil harmony either way.
I don't want DC fans to have to suffer like this, but what other choice is there? They deserve to have good things too, and while I secretly wanted BvS to be "meh" to avoid the Dark Knight steam roller effect on /co/, this is really too cruel. Why can't fans of the big two both have nice things?
So expect tons of threads shitting on Age of Ultron as the easiest target and whipping boy of the Marvel brand. Instead of constant threads trying to justify MOS we'll now have even more threads trying to justify BvS... It... It just doesn't stop.
Janitors and Mods if this thread is too toxic do what you must, but I honestly feel this is becoming an increasingly worrisome problem as the DC brand struggles more and more while the Marvel brand enjoys one comfy success after another.
Things only really went bad after the Dark Knight. It created a huge surge of confidence in the DC brand and emboldened a fanbase along with prompting a massive influx of new fans into comic books who jumped onto the DC bandwagon with the same mindset one might have choosing a video game console. It was huge surge, a momentum of positive things that all seemed to be happening at once for DC; what with the Arkham video games the Nu52 in comics and upcoming Jonah Hex & Green Lantern movies. It was a bubble that was doomed to burst and as one negative thing after another beset freshly invigorated fanbase, newfound pride quickly turned to bitterness and shitposting on /co/ subsequently went fucking hog wild. The mixed reception to the Nu52, the trainwreck that was Jonah Hex and Green Lantern, the lukewarm feelings towards the Dark Knight Rises, DC Nation being snuffed out on Cartoon Network, Man of Steel... it's been nothing but one disappointment after another for them.
My hope is that this unfortunate turn of events with BvS will cull the numbers down enough to where the DC fanbase can reach stable levels and preference in comic book companies can once again return to a personal preference rather than an "us vs them" mentality.

They're fine.
