Not trying to be edgy, life is a big fucking joke
I really like his philosophy
>>90215651
It's not so edgy to choose a villain, heroes all follow the same moral pattern, all variety, all the rest of the spectrum is portrayed as villains.
>>90215716
Beta Ray Bill is such a stupid sounding name.
>>90215716
Shit that was deep
I'm a filthy degenerate.
>>90215651
And Superman.
>>90215651
And I'm afraid you're the punchline.
I'd vote for him.
>>90215791

>>90215858
>You can't half-ass being a hero
Then why does Batman keep using the same powerless suit that provides minimum armor, instead of going Iron Man with his resources? Because he gets a kick out of beating folks with his bare hands/
>>90215716
>a fucking horse
Came here to post this.
>>90216005
>instead of going Iron Man with his resources?
Only a retard would waste so many resources for a small mission. It's retarded how Marvel doesn't mention how much money Iron Man wastes just to power the suit.
Batman's style of using big suits for higher level threats and the normal suit for lower level threats is the proper style. No need to nuke a jay-walker.
>>90215651
I used to think this was edgy, but lately it's been making more and more sense. Lately I've been noticing things that I would think are parodies but are actually a part of reality. This recent election (both sides), America's obesity "epidemic," high fructose corn syrup in literally every food (it's probably in the bread you eat), BlackLivesMatters being hijacked by guilty white people and actual criminals (including all other LivesMatters movements, it's like a race war played with hashtags), a picture of a sad frog now being a symbol for neo-nazis, Hollywood being so creatively bankrupt that it's nothing but sequels, reboots, adaptations, and cinematic universes, as well as other things. It's all become so strange, and seems to fit so perfectly in a dystopian story, that if it wasn't for jokes and ironic memes about these events I would probably just feel empty about everything.

lol, sure
an-cap terrorist batman, i can't think of anything more fitting
>>90215651
Both of these assholes. I like to believe one cancels out the others more negative traits.
Well this thread is gonna be shit
>>90215674
Childhood is when you idolize Daredevil
Adulthood is when you realize Stiltman makes more sense
>>90215651
>>90216106
ask robin about the batarang budget
no really, google it.
>>90216137
Those are barely problems. Get over yourself.
>>90215651
Seems a little bit like a popular choice, but Superman's beliefs are something I strive for.
I want to be a good person, altruistic and such. I don't want to be cynical, or angry, or mean. I want to help others.
>>90216170
You're probably right, but I just can't shake this feeling like everything is a self-parody.
>>90216284
I think it would be more apt to say that life itself is one giant meme and that we're only now becoming aware of it.
>>90216284
that's post-modernity for you
everything is made into a joke
Hi, look at meeee...
>>90216005
I mean Gordon had an Iron Man esque suit and he was pretty inefficient.
>>90216211
>Mr. A
hahaha yes
>>90215651
I'm trying to be edgy.
>>90215716
The only real answer.
But with hentai instead of heroin
>>90216137
Parodies, dystopias, etc. don't work if they're not based in reality. They're social commentaries, after all.
>>90217167
You had an ex-girlfriend die from a hentai overdose?
Sounds brutal.
>>90215651
Him, Frank and Cable.
I feel like there's a glaring contradiction here since Cable is /usually/ a lot more of a humanitarian than the other two. But hey, we all get a little hopeful and optimistic sometimes.
>>90217281
Ive stopped caring at this point. Im more like rick in how i uselly hate people but can be somewhat optimistic. Only instead of god jokes its dick jokes
>>90217281
So you believe that all women are sluts and having sex is degeneracy?
Who had the better philosophy?
>>90216330
everithing is a joke anon-kun the only thing that matters is if you laugh or not
i admire the man
>>90216281
Same anon, I just love the dude's dedication to doing good
>>90216881
Shit, now I'm interested. Do you know where I can read this?
I too stride to be an immortal real life shitposting skeleton man
>>90215651
Yeah, and death's the punchline
>>90215791
CHECK IT OUT SKWISGAAR, I'M GETTING A HAND J-J-J-JOB FROM YOUR M-M-M-MOM
>>90218423
I don't know.
From what I have heard it's pretty much Ditko's own political filibuster that he got a tad too obsessed about by the end
>>90217443
>So you believe that all women are sluts and having sex is degeneracy?
Do you not?
>>90215651
go read up on stoicism
>>90218423
I think there might be a torrent or something collecting them. And there's a new issue from 2016 (made by Ditko) that you can buy.
It's very much a tract that has 0 characters, 0 depth and 0 subtlety. And yet I'm fascinated by Mr. A because there's potential for telling a good story, if only it wasn't done in a ham-fisted way.
>>90219460
+ the whole design the character has
I know it has lot to do with how the rest of the comic is drawn but damn does it work.
The question wakes up every morning wishing he could make the impression Mr. A has on the reader
>>90219761
The design is wholly simple, yet effective and easily recognisable too. I'm a sucker for simple designs, as opposed to the overblown shit like in the Soul Calibur games (but I will admit they have their appeal), and Mr. A. hits all the right marks.
Actually, The Question has had more of an impression than Mr. A, consider the latter's obscurity. And yet I still can't be fucked to care about the Question.
>>90217465
this but unironically
>>90215674
>>90216230
As someone who does not know anything about Stilt-Man I need to know more.
>>90221840
he prefers to be above everybody else.
I hold many beliefs, but this is one of them.
>>90221966
is there some recommended reading for stilt-man, I can't find a list for him.
>>90216314
What did plank believe in?
>>90215651
Not trying to be edgy either
I'm a sarcastic fuck and i love it
Life's too short to deny yourself.
>>90215651
>>90222102
Are you me?
>>90221840
He's a man who is on stilts.
>>90215753
it kinda grew on me after a while...It was like a full name.
>>90215651
But isn't it sad? if its all a joke you should just be getting your rocks off because thats all there is to it, but if that is then why are you here? you can't tell me your ultimate joy is posting on this board anon
>>90216281
Its really easy to be completely altruistic when if you needed something and I mean really needed it you could take it and not a person in the world can stop you.
>>90215754
Nah, it was pretty basic
>>90225915
But it was also be really easy to be completely hedonistic at the same time.
Yet Superman isn't.
>>90222112
you don't find stilt-man. he finds your spirit.
>>90223919

read o'neill/cowan late 80s run
vertigo before vertigo was a thing
it's legendary
Reminder Ozymandias has the best philosophy out of all watchmen characters.
>>90226436
Its implied though that his peace won't last forever though.
>>90220508
What's? Building burning or are an irl antifa faggot?
>>90226521
>Its implied though that his peace won't last forever though.
Because rorsach fucks things up.
>>90226721
>Peace will last forever as long as people remain sheep and don't dare to question anything or seek any kind of actual important truth
Sounds like a real utopia :^)
>>90225305
Now that's an ideology I can believe in
pic related
>>90215716
Like communism, nihilism and liberalism are ideologies good in theory only and bound to self-destruct every time.
>>90226721
Bro if Rorschach didn't get the truth out, somebody else would. A scientist who analyzes what's left of the giant squid and finds out "Say...this DNA is all Earthling DNA."
For instance.
>>90226912
Few men can claim to walk as tall.

I'd like to think when Billy grows up, he'd realize he was the butt of everyone joke
>>90216106
>how much money Iron Man wastes just to power the suit
You mean the self-sustaining energy source? Please, tell me how one suit is more expensive than the fleet of vehicles Batman has.
>>90227282
>fleet of vehicles Batman has
That always bothered, how do cops not follow it out of Gotham. The streets in Gotham seem horrible for a batmobile with all those sharp turns.
>>90215716
this is just nihilism
plain and simple
>>90227744
Well anti-nihilism but yeah
Still not my cup of tea
>>90228062
how's it "anti"?
Thinking nihilism erases any moral, code of conduct or belief is a common misconception.
It does deprive any pre-existent inherited morals and dogmas of value, but only because every individual should find their own moral code within theirselves and live by it, thus ascending to become the "super-man", as defined by Nietzsche.
Bill is doing just that. Doing what HE thinks is good, because HE thinks it's good, giving fuck all about what any alleged "god" might have to say in the matter.
>>90216284
Maybe reality itself is slowly giving less of a fuck
>>90223919

That's an oddly pure ideals.
>>90228367
>Bill is doing just that. Doing what HE thinks is good, because HE thinks it's good, giving fuck all about what any alleged "god" might have to say in the matter.
That's not nihilism. That's existentialism.
A nihilist would say there's no point doing good because ultimately it doesn't matter.
>>90224163
What the hell is this from?
>>90229834
It doesn't matter, but it's what he wants.
>>90229834
>A nihilist would say there's no point doing good because ultimately it doesn't matter.
Focusing on the pointlessness of things is existential nihilism, not the core of nihilism.
>>90215651
I just re-read Watchmen and I find the Comedian to be edgy to the point of corniness.
That said, I'm a depressed motherfucker, so I agree with him as well, just without all the sociopathy.
