>>91033056
I'm not a huge fan of it, but I don't think it doesn't fit? It's not as good as what we had. Zircher is dying to draw this run.

Hello, Storyteller.

Since you lot are so insistent that recommendations are a good thing, I'm going to rec something to you, Storyteller.

You like crazy complex storylines with kinda asshole protagonists, right? Play Drakengard 3. Or maybe just watch a walkthrough since the game play is kinda mediocre, honestly.

>>91032942
Hey Anon.

Dear god is Ressurexion ever crapping out a disgusting amount of variant covers. Marvel will never learn.

>>91033281
I feel like even great artists can't elevate Bendis' scripts.

>is it for PC? because I'm not dropping for a PS4 or a Switch yet despite wanting to play Zelda more than life itself
PS3 exclusive.

I really think you will like the main character Zero, cause she fits a lot of the bullet points that you seem to like in female protagonists.

Also, price waiting is something I very much understand. Folks who like to game ain't made of money.

>>91033368
Hey now, the old NieR was legit great, too. Though I think the soundtrack sold more than the actual game.

>>91033281
The anon in previous threads who talked about how Alias could have been as good as this was spot on.

>>91033344
Yeah reading some of Simone's older stuff makes me realize how closely Bennett tries to emulate her.
What's annoying is Bennett has some neat ideas but she's either too self indulgent or just not good enough at different voices to be really good.
Because I wouldn't mind a well written lesbian insect book in the victorian age, but it's not good at all. lol

Drakengard was a PS3 game, OP.

>>91033314
IIRC, Andreyko said this whole arc came out of him reading a series of news articles about it. Like this was a story he very much felt he had to do.

yeah, I'm not buying an older console either

is the PS4 able to handle stuff/are they porting it?

Arn is rough but not a bad guy.

>>91033386
I think I was less disappointed purely because it was well within my expectations. There's nothing to Generations that is going to make me buy it.

Also last thread someone (I think OP) mentioned how in terms of fanfic the Bat-family are kind of self-sustaining independently of any outside media and I was thinking about that with regards to the X-Men. Do they get the same thing? Why/why not?

>>91033375
Is there any artist that isn't wasted on Bendis? Albeit I imagine that working with him is comfy for the artists what with all those reused panel or static panel pages. Not so comfy for the letterers, though.

>>91033350

There was a good call-out of that a while back with some of his X-Men pages. "Bendis letterers ought to be paid extra"

>>91033477
Gaydos isn't. Those two deserve each other.

>>91033474
The X-Men used to have a very steady 616-verse fic writing fandom back in the early 2000s but nowadays it's almost all glurgy movieverse garbage, especially for Charles and Magneto.

>>91033497
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

>>91033474
Hmmmmm. There's a decent amount of X-movieverse fic (actually, large amounts, and weird Magneto fans accordingly to put it mildly), but there's nothing quite like the Batfanon. It's so odd because it's based on the niche format--comics--but it's pretty huge, maybe even dominant.

I think the Claremont heyday was too long ago and no one managed to get the critical mass to kick it off.

>>91033474
>in terms of fanfic the Bat-family are kind of self-sustaining independently of any outside media
This is the weirdest fucking thing.
Like I get there are things in the comics or other media canon that people may not like, but some of those things are basically nothing like any canon. Like they just make shit up and it gets spread throughout more of the fandom and others pick it up, and it's all so fascinating.

I've toyed with trying to figure out the History of Batfanon, but so much of it is lost to the sands of internet time. I *know* a lot of it goes back to Girl-Wonder.com and their Steph fandom.

>>91033626
And then it gets to the point where when something happens in canon, they end up pointing to their fanon and get mad because the writer isn't reading their thoughts or fanfiction.

>>91033696
Well, we're Zemo stans. Anon storytiming Secret Six also had me thinking of that throwaway line Catman gives about abusing women and what you'd get for that today.

>>91033730
It fits with fandom having gotten obssessed with their faves being the most morally righteous, progressive and purest of them all. You can see similiar shit in the Steve Rogers fandom (although it makes a bit more sense with him).

If I were going to post a reply to that post--and I might yet IDK--I'd focus in on "you need to detach your argument from the Stucky fandom and make a more general case or it's nothing other than 'this story doesn't do what I want'". Author had some tweets yesterday that, too, I get what she wants, and yet it reeks of "Why can't this character go into the box *I* like?"

>>91033767
this is, somehow, the SNL stuff getting an entire season, and doing things with it like "Triumph meets Robert Goulet in Atlantic City"

>>91033775
There is a lot of shit even in more recent comics from before the 2010s that make me wonder how much of a shitstorm it would cause now.

I actually don't know anything about the terrain around El Paso other than 'rough', but the lower Valley is brutal, miserable, difficult country to try to cross.

>>91033799
It definitely read more for people already deep into fandom than those outside it (which it probably was) but that also meant it was pretty sloppy on building its points and making them cleanly.

It's nothing other than shitty Erik/Charles coffeeshop AUs

>>91033799
One thing I have noticed with the HydraCap story in particular is how most crit of it is about it's mere existence being somehow immoral for not doing what the person criticizing wants out of a Cap book. Which galls me because there is actually plenty to criticize about the actual execution. 'You are hurting me personally because this story is upsetting me by being dark' is not a failing of the story or a valid arguement.

>>91033651
Feminist Jason Todd among other things

the fan portrayals of Tim that tend to vary between "awkward virgin" and "ravenously slutty sex god who likes to crossdress" are my favorite Batfanon thing

>>91033922

>>91033969
Weeklies are inherently a fool's errand

>>91033610
Because that would actually be SMART.

Allow me to blog for a moment, of you will. I have a GameCube, with the Gameboy Player extension (it's a solid hunk of plastic and metal that you plug into the bottom of the GameCube, and it lets you play every Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and Gameboy Advance game). I got the Wii later, which plays all GameCube games. If I didn't have the Player, I would've had no reason to keep the GameCube at that point. Then I got a Wii U, which plays all Wii games, but not GameCube, so now I HAVE to keep the GameCube if I want to play Eternal Darkness or something else on that.

PlayStation used to do that too, with one version of the PS3 able to play all PlayStation games, but now physical hardware restrictions prevent it, or so I'm told.

Nowadays, game companies just re-sell you digital re-released versions of the games, rather than let you just place in the game you already physically own, which is a massive bummer for hoarders like me.

Okay, blog over, let's talk about comics and weird fancanons.

>>91033503
Bendis fills the page like it was still the Bronze age, but with none of the narrative transferred into the text like it was then. It's just pages and pages of worthless blather.

>>91033979
You also cannot IMO do 'This is ruining this character's legacy' with 'None of the similar or contradictory moments from this character's legacy count'

>>91033980
My favorite is when they basically make him that seme stereotype where he rapes Dick or Tim but it's okay because that's how yaoi works

>>91033979
I finally got some people elsewhere to talk about what they disliked about the pacing, the way it dances around Steve doing evil shit and it's backing away, etc. IT was refreshing.

>>91034005
And an expensive one. I don't even consider them.

>>91033996
Magneto/Xavier was always a big fic fandom but the fic turned to shit once TFC got released.

At the risk of starting shit, where exactly does the idea of Jason being a feminist come from?

I don't think being friends with an Amazon necessarily counts as feminism.

>>91034093
>At the risk of starting shit, where exactly does the idea of Jason being a feminist come from?
that's what OP was talking about re: finding the genesis of Batfandom headcanons

no one knows!

probably one person came up with some headcanons based on a few comic panels, other people liked them and they spread from there

now people get mad when he isn't explicitly portrayed as a feminist in comics

>>91034405
True.
But it's not Countdown or World's End bad imo.

It's like

With Batman Eternal being mediocre as fuck and everything after it being mediocre to bad.

I got a PS4 and was hyped for all the old games I never played bc I never had a PlayStation before. Pretty upset once I found that out. I have no idea if their subscription thing for old games is good/worth it

The Trinity ad reminds me how decent or good Marvel writers went to DC and sucked pretty hard there. Nowadays it's the other way around.

>>91034261

Marvel writers seem to just go to Image now (Lemire, Fraction, KSD, Hickman, Remender...), and DC hasn't been taking in writers from marvel but marvel has been getting shat on a lot lately.

It was the purple hair. One of the first comments was something like "Fucking sjws" and I can't tell if it was ironic or not

>>91035024
I saw the first issue of She-Hulk as seriously taking shots at the Hellcat style of infantilization and I think I was reaching there, but there are definitely some comparisons to make: Jen finds cute pop culture cooking videos totally inadequate to manage her rage, Jen doesn't lose her job and have fun employment adventures but has to try and manage with an unsympathetic employer, Jen gets involved in a landlord dispute that isn't easily resolved and where all parties have issues, etc, etc.

Y'know, I've heard people say they dislike Oracle because it turns Barbara into a plot device style supporting character.

I don't understand how that's a bad thing. Strictly speaking, all characters are plot devices included to drive the story. So why is it a bad thing for Babs to actually serve a valuable and unique role as opposed to being just another cape?

I'm not gonna say it would have been the same Squad but it was the most logical progression at the end of the Ostrander run. Personally I'd die for the Eve Eden runs the Skawd but the Oracle one would also have been great.

And clearly it would be the work of insensitive authors ruining the legacy of the character and what's more shitting on Dozier, Schwartz and Infantino's personal principles of government transparency and criminal justice with integrity

But for real people don't want to accept TKJ now so you'll never get that, and the outcry would be awful if you did. But my Oracle is one who could run with the Suicide Squad.
