How does he keep getting away with it? Doesn't Marvel know he's tanking the entire brand?
What's the odds Brian Michael bendis secretly writes BBC fan fiction about him getting gang bang by Luke cage and miles morals?
Name 1 (one) way to make comic books a huge hit seller
protip: you literally can't
>>91251492
The entire brand?
>>91251534
Stop letting Bendis influence them
Done
>>91251538
Yes, the entire brand.

If they don't then I think the fan resentment since last year might get louder.
I think it says something that on CBR, which is usually pro-Marvel, had a poll on their board asking how would people feel in Bendis wrote FF, and more than 70% were negative toward it.

Appeal to people who actually buy comics.

And Bendis's tanking it? The Marvel brand?
>>91251550
The entire brand. Tanking.
>>91251534
The Vision sold well.
I'd say a make good stories with good art and good characters.
>>91251572
He might be tanking it.
>>91251599
Might, or just might-might?

Bendis? the comic writer?

How do Japanese people do it with manga? They don't pander or push agendas. They just focus on story telling and usually have good art.
Marvel has terrible writers and Bendis is the king of them. They also push agendas and pander to audiences that don't really give a fuck about them.
>>91251624
What the fuck do you mean. They do pander, but they pander to the people who are willing to spend money on them.
>>91251680
No, when they pander to horny nerds, it's not pandering, just artistic integrity.
>>91251680
Yeah
>>91251624
Japan has a very, very different culture. That said for all of their low crime rates and porn I wouldn't swap cultures for the world considering their horrific school or work/life balance and laser focus on net worth as a determiner of value as a person.
>>91251623
The writer, Bendis.
>>91251701
Why did Marvel stop doing that?
>>91251753
When everyone, including the horny nerds, stopped buying comics.
>>91251726
Their comics still do very well here in the USA though.
>>91251492
You forget how idiotic Marvel Editorial can be and because they literally think he is /theirguy/. And the fact they have the mentality in thinking angry fans give them sales.
>>91251624
> focus on story telling
> A new villain with a different gimmick than the previous one and the hero just beat him by just punching him more.
There's no story telling, you just keep this shit going until new kids come and replace the grown ups. Comics does that too but they overloaded the scheme by not waiting enough time because they try to get quick cash, so they now must suffer from their mistake.
>>91251624
>i've never read a single manga in my life
>>91251624
I disagree here. Some manga DO pander and push agendas. But if the shit doesn't sell, they don't blame the audience.
Also, compared to the japanese, there's a real lack of diversity. Race swaps aren't diversity when every title has the the exact same tone and setting.
