Was pretty good, even though I wasn't very receptive at the time of my watching it.
I purchased the comic for the friend who showed it to me, but sadly haven't been able to read it yet.

Does Hellboy count as capes? Got me into comics as a whole. That Goblin Market scene is still the gold standard in my mind as to what goblin markets look like. That may not sound like it means much, but I read a lot of urban fantasy and even ran a few Changeling games in college. Hellboy is right up there with Pan's Labyrinth for faeries.

I liked the first Casper movie and Richie Rich when I was a kid.

>>86672389
Hellboy's cape-ish enough, where I think it's okay to include it in cape or non-cape lists.

>>86672189
You're supposed to. The main characters are pseudo-intellectual, elitist bitches. The comic better illustrates their destructive behavior and eventual possibility of real growth through different avenues IMO.

This board is so fucking utter trash. This board should be called /Cape faggotry and cartoons/. It seems 95% of people who read comics on this board read superhero comics only.

>>86673360
To be fair, Ghost World is possibly the most boring comic Clowes ever made.

i don't know why people complain that most of the board talks mainly about the biggest and most popular genre of comics on a comics and cartoon board, like of course most people talk about supes nigga, that's all most kn ow. not saying it's right or fair or anything, i'm just saying

>>86672897

Yeah, I noticed too late that I got the letters wrong.

>>86673149
> i saw the movie before i read the series, so maybe i'm a bit biased

1) Likewise. This is the movie that got me into comics. However, I watched it when I was 14, and I never watched it again out of fear that it won't hold up in the 6 years since I've seen it.

2) to be fair, I think it's best to watch a film adaptation before reading the source material. Doing it the other way /usually/ leads to disappointment. Less out of the quality of the adaptation, and more out of the fact that reading the source material beforehand could create some expectations that the movie probably can't meet, possibly lowering your enjoyment of it.

>>86673545
There's nothing wrong with being ignorant, but they shouldn't be barging into our few non-cape threads to show off their ignorance.

>>86672389
I dont consider it cape

This'll come off as hipsterish as fuck, but it would be nice to come to 4chan to engage in the more esoteric and obscure aspects of various mediums. You'd think people here would specialize in such things. Can talk about fucking cape comic movies everywhere else.

>>86673900
It does seem weird, given that if you look at other boards like /lit/ or /mu/, their main discussions aren't about current top-sellers, whereas here the current top-sellers are the main thing discussed. It'd be like /lit/ having 90% of its discussion about YA novels and Dan Brown.

>>86673781
And yet it's a million times more civil than this thread. :^)

It couldn't have been worse than Jem.

>>86676323

DU JOUR MEANS FRIENDSHIP

>>86676323

Josie and the Pussycats was far better than it had any right to be.

>>86673941
Difference in industry plays a large role. It'd be like if YA and Dan Brown made up 80% of the entire prose market if you wanted to make an apt comparison. Generally speaking sci-fi and fantasy comics are well-received here. We even used to have regular Franco-Belgian threads, but I think the differences in publishing schedules kinda screw with people.

>>86676323
It's a genuine classic.

>>86676582
Uh, no?

Capes don't make up 80% of the market. They make up 75% of _sales_, but not of the amount of actual product available (big difference). And this only the case in America (other countries are better than us), and this is only the case in America's direct market (the newsstand market and bookstore market are much more non-cape).

The original comparison was much better. /co/ doesn't have an excuse for focusing almost-exclusively on capes.

>>86676323
I still love it.

>>86676323
I unironically love it.

I don't get all the hate on cape comics here. We talked the hell out of Y,Pride of Baghdad, and 100 Bullets. We had Ghost World threads before, Stuff of Legend and IKG but you can only talk about the same story so many times. There's a lot to dissect and discuss when the story is over but how many times can we have the same thread about the same book? Cape shit updates is all I'm saying and just because you never hopped into a SAGA or Black Science thread when it was new doesn't mean we haven't/didn't/don't still have Lucifer/Sandman/B.P.R.D threads. Or that when something that enough of us like to talk about comes out that isn't cape we won't discuss it either.

>>86677176
>Cape shit updates is all I'm saying
Every week there are dozens of non-cape comics released. The fact that /co/ only discusses the popular comics doesn't mean that the unpopular comics don't get updates to their discussion potential too.

>>86677380
Plus it's dumb to act like there's such a miniscule selection of older comics to talk about.

>>86677380
We had a million Gotham academy threads, we discuss Hellblazer. If you want to talk about something/introduce people to a comic you like make a thread for comics you like. I came into this thread ready to talk about the great music in this movie but while I was reading the thread it turned into another bitch fest which is no fucking fun. There's a lot to talk about in cape genre, the characters have a lot of history, most anon here grew up on Superheroes, they aren't stand alone stories. There are reasons why these topics get brought up.

Kingsman

>>86677602
There's a Dan Clowes storytime up right now. Nobody's reading it. Nobody's posting in it. The system doesn't work.

>>86677602
The reason people keep lobbying for a separate cape board (which will never happen) is that coming here and seeing capeshit everywhere is like going to /v/ and having nothing but mobile game topics. It's the fucking worst.

>>86677706
Pretty sure it's one guy who keeps pushing for /cape/.

It would be nice if live action fucked off to /tv/ though

>>86677661
I'm not in that thread because it's in black and white. Personal preference sorry. But best believe I read that Cat Man comic. I went out and bought the trades of Tokyo Ghost after it got story timed.
>>86677706
And the reason that's still a bad idea is because this board was slow as fuck before it got popular, and it will turn into /lit/ or /ic/ levels of crawl if we get separated. Seriously who the hell thinks manga&comics or anime&cartoons board would work we'd kill each other or they'd both didn't turn into waifu fag boards. Just waifus all the time.

>>86677819
>people who think that slowing down is a bad thing
The faster a board is, the worse it becomes.

>>86677997
Tell that to people with slow boards as their homeboard. But wait there aren't any. Speed just means there are more posters. /mu/ is a mixed bag of quality and it's fast. You never have threads that pit genre's against each other unless it's shitposting and you can definitely tell when it's shit posting.

>>86672205
Dredd is cape.

>>86679423
Nope.

>Sequel never

I knew next to nothing about Dredd and I still loved this movie when I saw it.

God fucking dammit, why do all the fun movies never get sequels, like Pacific Rim?

>>86680221
I thought that was in production.

>>86679517
That's pretty much I just said except you condensed "pretentious, elitist" into stuck up and bitches into "she". Regardless, she's not supposed to be looked at very favorable at the start of the film or especially the comic and by the end both of the protaganists are starting into their own idea of growth.

>>86680221

I want to see a Pacific Rim sequel about Ron Perlman beating monsters to death with his other shoe.

>>86679499
Nope, you're wrong. Fucking Americans and their narrow views of genre. Dredd is Dystopian Sf.

>>86680505
Ah yes, like Watchmen.

>>86680667
Ah, yes like many other works. You're being obtuse. Calling Dredd capeshit is like calling 1984 capeshit.

>>86673943
outperforming a downy isn't anything impressive

Was the new Annie bad? It seemed popular in general but rarely gets mentioned on /co/.

>>86673941

/lit/ liking obscure stuff is not fun. I love books and wanna discuss, I dunno, Survivor Bears or The Series Of Unfortunate Events but they only like discussing the most mature philosophical stuff and books that are 200 years old.

>>86676323

Jem was an abomination against all that is holy. This was an awful adaptation too but at least can be enjoyable.

>>86672391

Casper was good. Ritchie Rich wasn't.

>>86678234

I use mainly /u/, /vr/, /vg/, /co/, vand /an/: aka slow boards. They're much more appealing than fast boards like /v/. You can actually talk and discuss stuff. Most of my /v/ threads are archived within 1 hour. Even /a/ manages to be faster than /co/ for some reason.

>>86671726
>that don't suck.
They why did you post Ghost World?

>>86679499

Its funny because the creators of Dredd actually hate hero comics and have done a story explicitly about how much they hate them

>>86673360
I'm so sorry we don't know your indie hipster garbage.

>>86677706

I want a retro /a/ board and likely a classic /tv/ board (discussing silent films is impossible there) but separating /co/ into a /cape/ doesn't make much sense. I doubt it'll make people suddenly wanna watch about Jem and the Holograms or Lumberjanes more. It'll just cause a bunch of generals like /mlp/ has on /cape/.

>>86681177
I just want cartoons of my board

>>86680505
You can have cape comics take place in a dystopian future. Doesn't make them any less cape.

>>86681200
Is V for Vendetta a cape comic? What about Hellblazer and Sandman?

>>86681373
V for Vendetta and Sandman have been written by one person, and in a non-capey way. Hellblazer, like Judge Dredd, has been written by several writers, and there have been instances where he's written as a cape.

>>86677615
This. The comic was horrible but the based duo of Matthew Vaughn and Jean Goldman managed to salvage it into a pretty enjoyable flick.
