What is painfully wrong with Marvel and DC's writing, /co/?

The writer is subservient to the editorial department and the marketing department, and sometimes the licensing department too.

Read creator-owned comics instead.

I'm currently working on some scripts to an animated series I'm planning

>>88687085
Post some of your work without spoiling your character's real names.

>>88687564
I could give a doc link to it, if you want.

Why do you not want the character's real names spoiled?

>>88687633
Well if it's ok then post the full script amd bible without any censors. I was thinking you already got a real gig going on and you were under some contract.

>>88689375
No, but I'm planning to start looking for publishers soon.

What do you mean by bible?

A classic trap which Legend of Korra and Tron Uprising fell right into was trying to make an emotional-driven plot. The characters act forced and irrational over their moralities and their own experience with the matter.

That is why Korra and Tron make so many rookie mistakes out of lack of objectivity.
Tron let Dyson go, which in turn let him alert the big bad boss of his existence. Seriously, it's like letting Aang let a firebender go in order to alert Ozai of his whereabouts when he isn't prepared.

Whereas a goofy, no fucks given show like The Last Airbender and Motorcity are capable of taking that drama and lightening it up with humour and the characters fixing their problems through positive thinking and reinforcements. Which makes for a much more badass action-oriented show focused on solving their problems immediately rather than prolonging a huge ass drama over 26 episodes before ending it.

Often times they make the characters act crazy cool. Crazy because they areinsane lunatics. Cool because they're laidback and rational and do not get influenced by emotions.
That's how it's okay for Aang to act in season 1 so carelessly by lying in the episode The Great Divide and acting like a 10 year old. Thatisuntil season 2 when the show gets darker and more serious where the characters aren't written with zero fucks given and care deeply that Appa got stolen and they were stuck in a desert to die. Right before they lied to that giant owl thing that they won't use the library to defeat the fire nation.

A pitch bible is like a scientific documentary book detailing all the characters, world settings, the style and tone of the show and the end game.

Tolkien took it a bit too far and wrote his books with the most inane purple prose you could think of. Using entire paragraphs just to describe how Aragorn slices his blade in an ork without having any meaning and importance for his characterization.

>>88689818
I haven't made one of those. Do you think I should?

>>88689862
Yes. Now it depends what you're aiming for. If you want to let others build on it then you need to keep it open-ended. Like let's say you design a forest, don't explictly point out how big it is and what lies inside it, only point out the possibilities.
If you want a character to not break his personality too often, but still be versatile and depthful then explain what's his motivation, demeanour, mentality and what is he suppose to do in general when confronted with general situations.

I could never get into Motorcity because it never felt like it was going anywhere. The overarching story did nothing for me and the "problem of the week" episodes didn't feel all that substantial.

But to tell the truth, that's not even my biggest beef with the series. My dislike of Motorcity is how the atmosphere and mood just felt wrong. It never felt like Detroit. It felt like people who read about Detroit once and maybe saw some "ruin porn" set a generic action series in Detroit. It lacked the soul, heart and pain of what Detroit actually is. It even got the music wrong. Detroit has had a lot of rock acts but none of them sounded as empty and boring and devoid of anything of substance as the soundtrack of Motorcity. And rock still feels like wrong move when Detroit's impact on pop, jazz, R&B/Soul, and techno has been more substantially felt on music as a whole than any of its hard rock contributions in the 70s & 80s.

But I digress. People can like the show if they want. It just felt like a major misstep for me. Probably would've liked it more if it was set in some Anycity, USA instead of some terrible beginners' guide futureDetroit

What did you think of the emotional baggage in Tron Uprising? Could you feel for the characters' emotions, pains, cold mentalities and the hellish dictatorship rule they were being forced into? Because Uprising ended up being a watered down action show despite aiming to be dark and emotional, similar to Batman Beyond.
But all of Beck's failures to recruit allies for his cause only came off as "that sucks, man. Better luck next time" like a pat on the back without much anger and pain over his failures.
Even the title is misguiding because the "uprising" doesn't happen until the very last episode when it gets cancelled.

Do you know any shows which manage a good atmosphere and background for their shows?
Because I cannot find any animated series measuring up to the real communist dictatorship most third world countries had to endure.

This thread would probably fit better on /tg/, which was especially designed for creating.

Merry christmas and a happy new year, /co/.

Alright last bump before I force it.

I would have liked to talk about what /co/ would enjoy to see in 2020+in terms of tropes and style.
