It's just weird to see some actual investigation nowadays, instead of magically knowing what's going on.

That was actually another reason why League of One was really good. Despite being a great Wondy story, Batman actually acted like a detective for once.

Yeah I was laughing about that to myself. Characters called Hexer Dusk? Hexer Sever? A group called the Dragon Clan? But it's Ostrander, so all of this stuff gets a pass. It already looks fun (loving radioactive hulk wife and weedy criminal boss, for instance) and it's got some similarities to gritty 2000AD-ish sci-fi I grew up with.

>>83700158
Well, that only makes sense. The image of the ruling class wearing gaudy and elaborate costumes is outdated for several reasons. Not the least of which being that said finery is expensive, and probably paid for with taxes, so unless you want an uprising by peasants who see their hard earned money being squandered on frivolous luxuries, it's best to keep your ensemble simple.

Yeah, I really ought to do that, shouldn't I.
Although I feel like it's gonna be more like his Star Wars work than Suicide Squad.
That might just be because of Jan on draws, though.

>>83700369
>The image of the ruling class wearing gaudy and elaborate costumes is outdated for several reasons.
You say that but, I mean, haute couture...

And rich people dress expensively and celebrities have to look impressive. Gaudiness and elaboration in the rich and ruling ain't dead yet. Though the King of Luxembourg, certainly, probably doesn't look as fancy as he might have several centuries ago.

>>83700605
This is proper Soviet thinking: if the soldier can't control his own direction, there's nothing for Count Vertigo to mess with. The real Molotov would have been proud.

>>83700440
Well, yeah, obviously rulers are still going to dress like they're in charge, and the people wouldn't have it any other way. There's just a certain threshold is all. There's a reason most royals these days tend to wear just suits in the day to day and save the costumes for special events.

Not that anon, but it's a Fire Emblem game and a fairly good one. I really didn't like the last FE game but kind of looking forward to playing Fates.

>>83700715
Funnily enough, in the X-Storytime somebody posted the Scott/Madelyne wedding that Claremont wrote and the Scott/Jean wedding that Lobdell wrote, and Claremont's pretty much let the art speak for itself while Lobdell's was full of overwrought narration.

If you like FFT and the FFTA games there are for sure FE games you would like.

>>83700353
The Captain Amerivan is great. They need to bring that, and Steve Rogers being the artist for the in-universe Captain America comic book back.

>>83700897
The last one was terrible in that department, yeah. Fates seems a little bit more adult? I guess I'll find out when I play it.

There's not really anything around just now that fills the gap there though, shit sucks.

>>83700939
FE4 (Genealogy) is about as tough as FF4 Hard; once you start playing conservatively, it starts making much more sense. You do have to play VERY conservatively. Good game overall, maybe the best in the storytelling department

FE5 is not made to be beatable and is 100% bullshit

>>83700939
>"how the fuck do you even do this" hard
A little of this since there are no tutorials. But also hard in the sense that you have to be a genuinely good strategist to beat the game. It's well worth it though, since the characters are pretty likeable for the most part and the story is quite adult.

>>83700970
I dunno, the charm of it is that it's comic art that looks like a movie poster. If it was for the movie, then it would just be a movie poster that looks like a movie poster.

>>83700586
Wait, aren't Blue Trinity a bunch of busted ass junkies by this point?

>>83700939
Not much level grinding but feeding XP to the right characters and making the right characters interact can kind of count? Beyond that it's mostly a tactical challenge (some resource management with weapons and stuff)

Well, you need to remember that Imperial Russia thought of themselves as the successor to the Byzantines after the fall of Constantinople. They were super Orthodox, and had ties to Constaninople through the Varangians. St. Basil's was a meant to be a Russian Hagia Sophia.

I'm one of the world's only longtime Garth fans so it's been nice he's being accepted. I read all of Bunn's Aquaman just to see how he handled him and he was only even in like three issues.

Abnett is my hero for how he's been handled.

I try to avoid all those, yes

Although the rule seems to be the more rabid a fanbase is the more obscure and fucking weird the shipping gets. Non-Bat DCU stuff is pretty smaltime so I am not surprised at all there's no Garth/Kaldur (even in YJ where they did interact iirc)

It's not like there's a big Aquaman fandom ;_;

Damn, I feel old now. I remember when that fanbase first formed. Back when the modern Internet was going through its wild west phase. Harry/Draco ran rampant, and nothing could stop it. Not a lot of yuri material for HP though. Typical.

HP fandom was an amazing hilarious wanky juggernaut and I don't think there will be anything quite like it ever again, the conditions can't be recreated

That's what makes it weird though, it was so easily a "threesome fixes the love triangle" deal.

>>83703233
they failed to provide any attractive yuri shipbait for Hermione

speaking of Harry Potter I saw a description of the plot for the play or whatever it is that they're doing and it's hilariously bad

Nobody ever takes the opportunity for that when it presents itself

do you know how much Kyle/Hal/Carol stuff I've seen, considering that it would immediately make that situation vastly better than what we got? absolutely nothing

>>83703284

You can't just say that and not post it

>>83703189
Oh Storyteller, honey, I already know, girl. Potter fans got up to some shit back in the day. People STILL aren't sure if My Immortal is a troll fic or not. They've mellowed out now that the phenom has ended once and for all, but yeah.

>>83703208
I feel like I'm a better person for having grown up with it

But I am here shitposting on 4chan so maybe not

Too much like work? Reminds me of a certain Thunderbolt.

You would destroy the Ivy fandom with these images OP.

>>83703257
I was a big HP fan when I was a kid but I mostly skirted the fandom and never really got into it

looking back at it now it was a pretty unique condition, it caught a LOT of people who were basically just hitting puberty and growing up with the books but it also caught like a lot of experienced fandom ladies who were in their 30-40s

that plus the massive popularity is like the perfect condition for endless wank

>>83703284

I have no idea what's going on with the play but I trust JK. hopefully it's not as insane as the bits have implyed

I can't believe Rowling was the actual mastermind and writer behind My Immortal

>>83703367

it's practically canon and there's nothing

fandom was a mistake

>>83703342
Like so many fandoms, Ivy Fandom has nothing to do with what she actually is. It's about what they project onto her.


I honestly thing I may never have truly been fan enough of really anything to qualify as a legit member of a "fandom."

>>83703390
my kingdom for some of that fic, fucking seriously

>>83703400
Well all this HP stuff is alien to me, and I was the right age for the books and read them. But it was never my favorite stuff.

>>83703400
I prefer to hole myself up with my favorite characters and lash out at everyone else who talks about them.

The anti-fandom.

>>83703416
>and some of the experienced fandom ladies who should have known better lost their fucking minds when their ship got sunk
I really wish I'd been paying attention when that happened, I'm sure some of the meltdowns were glorious

>>83703368

It's like someone was carrying a real plot and someone was carrying a fanfic and they ran into each other and mixed everything up

>>83703284
>they failed to provide any attractive yuri shipbait for Hermione
Sad but true. Maybe Ginny, but people fucking hated her for the usual reasons of "getting in the way" of their OTP.

Frankly, I'd have liked more interaction between Hermione and Luna.

>>83703285
Oh, Pam. Honestly, you'd think her newfound legions of fans would enjoy her being a glorious evil bitch.

Same

I like things and I can enjoy art and smutty fanfic of things, but if something happens that I don't like I just move on nor do I project myself on a character I think.

I kinda miss reading new X men stuff cause the X men storytimer can only keep me for so long

>>83703469
>>83703469
Thanks OP!

the HP business just goes to show you should never make any pairing canon or at the very least never make it endgame. Teasing and letting people project goes a LONG way

>>83703536
HP is so fascinating to me because it was really well-constructed to provoke maximum fandom engagement over the scope of the entire run, and then provide the answers that the author had in mind the whole time so you can sit back and watch the disappointed/enraged screaming
