More like the tank men appeared basically in April of '45, and the Wehrmacht suddenly shoves the Allies back to 1940 territory in under a month, while the Allies continually trip over their own dicks. But the Nazis are TOTALLY GONNA LOSE by the end. Somehow, don't question the retarded logic.

>>
>>91800914
the basic idea is sound, and it's one of the few comics based around Ultra-Violence to not be pointless crap(looking at you Crossed), but it definitely has some very noticeable pacing issues

overall it would have been better to have the Germans debut the Ubers in say 1944 or maybe even 43 or 42 instead of literally moments before Hitler historically would have blown his brains out, that way Germany would have enough resources that it could bear the occasional real loss instead of them more or less continually curbstomping everyone that isn't Katushya
>>
>>91801379
I wouldn't have minded if the Tank Men had pushed the Allies out of Germany and into France and Poland. But the Wehrmacht was pretty much done as a fighting force, yet can occupy Europe and somehow they have the ability to get the Kriegsmarine back together to sail to the US. It's just so over the top that I can't suspend my disbelief.

For the Nazis, it's one pyrrhic victory after another.

They got the Whitehouse and are melting NY, and we couldn't take out their battleships, but they lost half their forces in the process. They are not on a winning trajectory in the U.S., unless the Japanese surprise on the West Coast is BIG.
>>
>>91801451
I think that's the core of the issue for me. Uber likes to bring up things like strategic resources, manpower, supply lines, et al, but then completely ignores them when it's convenient. Tank men are a cool concept but they only function on a tactical scale, IE when you need to win a battle. You can't occupy land with a Tank man. You can't hold something with a Tank man, unless you're cool with it being demolished and painted over with gore.

You need a standing army to occupy something. I'd buy it if Uber was about Germany using the Tank Men to stalemate the Allies by decimating advancing armies, supply trains, or what have you, but it's not. Uber is a comic that attempts to blend serious strategic considerations and the idea that a few super humans can take and hold vast swaths of territory, and it doesn't work. Oh yeah, and the obvious pacing issues and >>91801160 being pretty spot on doesn't help.
>>
>>91801439
>continually curbstomping everyone that isn't Katushya


But you see, anon, that's kind of the entire POINT of Uber.

There is a revisionist history trend going around that says that since the Soviets lost so many men in WW2, they REALLY won the war, and the US just stole all the glory.

Yes, really.

So, Uber is a fantasy that 'fixes' this broken reality, by basically writing a world where the USA got the proper ass-whipping they deserved.

It's really complete idiocy.

It also reflects a larger trend of the losers of WW2 to try and make it into something that never happened. Just look at the bullshit Japan is trying to pull:

http://nationalinterest.org/feature/us-should-be-appalled-by-japans-historical-revisionism-12381

Uber is just catering to the same crowd that denies the holocaust and other similar idiocy. Be aware of it, promulgate the facts, and move on.

>>91802032
The better question is where they found the troops to lose. By the time Hitler tried to kill himself, the German army was basically old men and kids. Unless the US and Russia decided to just hand over all their prisoners rather than kill them to prevent the krauts from getting all that manpower to turn into super soldiers.
>>
>>91802032

It hasn't lost the east completely. As others have pointed out, Ubers can't hold ground very well. The U.S. is big.

We have no idea what's happening in the west.

Time will tell, but I believe it'll play out much as it did in reality, where the U.S demonstrates a remarkable efficiency of industry, and churns out so many Ubers they swamp the invaders.

Also, Gillen tends to be heavy handed with his themes. Yes, we get it, gays and blacks were poorly treated. Yes, the USA suffered few cilvilan losses. It doesn't need to be reinforced every issue.
>>
It starts from the second right before Hitler shoots himself at the end of April of 1945, and by November the Germans have defeated, conquered, and occupied Britain, won total control of the seas, launched an invasion of the continental US, destroyed Washington DC and New York, killed pretty much the entire US leadership aside from Patton, and are now rampaging through the US effortlessly annihilating all the armies that the US throws at them.

Where did they get the men? Plot.
Where did they get the subs? Plot.
Where did they get any of the other equipment needed to launch an invasion of the US? Plot.

It's just standard Nazi fanboy alt-history with a big helping of gore to attempt to shock people that really just gets old after a while.

They already tried that and failed. The US uber army was completely destroyed in a suicide charge against a German battleship. Aside from that, the Germans can basically nuke anywhere in the US at will. In real life, a big part of the US industrial advantage came from the fact that it was away from the fighting. That isn't the case in Uber, so the US will instead be the one getting swamped under an endless tide of German ubers. Throughout the entire story, the Germans have consistently enjoyed superior numbers and resources. That isn't going to change.

It was a cool story, it would have been fine if it just ended when and how it was supposed too with the gemans losing a little later then they should have and the world facing a new dawn of weaker allies going into a cold war with tankmen instead of nukes.

Instead it got popular so they have to keep shitting out more story which requires the allies to constantly get pounded because Germany's situation was that bad by the end.

>The US powers that be would rather have the Germans butcher their way across America sending thousands of whites to their deaths than make two black battleships (how the hell 12 percent of the US population ended up making 2 battleships is astounding. Blacks are just genetically superior I guess).

I think the reason so many people have jumped ship on Uber is because they're tired of having everyone white and male act like incompetent, powerless morons.

The best German Battleship is a woman. The strongest halo battleship is a woman. The strongest physical battleship is a woman. The spy that holds the only prayer for the allies is a woman. The strongest overall battleship is a woman. Razor's sisters are being set up to be the push that saves the allies.

The second strongest Nazi Battleship (before losing an arm) is gay. Alan Turing is the greatest male asset the allies have and he's gay.

Now lets look at the power and competence of straight white males in the setting.

HMS Colossus: Turned into a man-shrubbery by a woman in his first fight.

Churchill: Killed by a woman, head placed on the decapitated statue of a man

Hitler: Killed by a homosexual.

Siegfied: Is the only character to be depicted as pure 100 percent evil.

Razor: A crybaby who will run behind his black comrades at the first sign of danger.

Allied Command: Completely destroyed except for Patton who will likely be depicted as a genocidal madman worse than Hitler.

Roosevelt: Dead when the Nazis burnt a giant swastika on Washington DC BUT DON'T WORRY GUYS THE ALLIES ARE GOING TO TURN THE WAR AROUND ANYYYYYYYYY MINUTE NOW

Manhattan Project: BTFO by a secret spy (another female) and raped so hard that Japan now has the only working A-bomb in the setting and atomic weapons for the allies have been virtually taken off the table.

Stalin: The only white male leader still alive. It is possible Gillen as a big leftie has tender feelings for him like Casto.

>>
>>91800914

The main problem is that this comic was basicalyl written by someone who hated the West and all is stands for. All you need to do, to makes this really compelling, is to have some affection for the subject.

Seriously. Make it a war story, exactly like WWII, but with the men adjusting to the terrible new weapons being unleashed. Don't emasculate every straight white male (who, y'know, did most of the fighting - Greatest Generation and all that) in order to promote your minorities.

It's not hard to see a pattern where every important character is female and gay. You know that in real life, we'd have basically got a phalanx of Captain Americas, right? Russia's super-soldier would look like Ivan fucking Drago, and the Nazis would have serene blue-eyed, blonde-haired race warriors.

That would be fucking amazing to see.
>>

Uber just isn’t written very well. It’s hard to care whenever characters or the narrator talk about their tactics when they will be shockingly BTFO in about 10 pages. This wouldn’t be a massive problem but the comic focuses so much of its energy to strategy that it forgets to make anyone likable or interesting. In a world without characters we care about there is no reason to care when the next Nazi asspull kills 90% of the US population. And on top of everything else the battles and tactics themselves are so boring.
>>
People say Gillen put his hate for West in writing.
I don't see this that way.
This is not atempt to defend him at all.
He is just another comic book writer from Aglosphere who is obsessed with Nazis wrecking shit in USA and beating UK. Less desire to ruin as punishment or message and more way to have fictional invasion and occupation when those countries didn't suffer those in recent history. Maybe he will get it out of his system after Invasion story is done and may start Nazi actually losing thing.
But there is still problem how much story is west centric, only Allies and Nazis have full knowledge of Uber serum while Japan and Soviets have only limited access to this. Japan because of its situation could just be written out of story, especially with Allies needing to focus on Germany, even nuke was disabled by German spy. Soviets could dominate Europe so they can't easly produce Ubers but still have them to being able to defend themselves from Nazi Ubers (so writer may pretend he treat Soviets fairly). Katysha being more powerful than other battleships means that even they can't invade and conquer Russia, but her own lack of any loyalty to Stalin or Soviets means that Nazis are also safe from them and east front is stalemate so writer can just ignore it and focus only on west.

Does he literally need to spell it out for you? You don't need to be a genius to see a pattern. Even in Wicked + Divine, the slimiest god of the pantheon is the cis white male who spouts red pill biotruths, Wotan. Everyone shits on him, even though the pantheon has a literal cannibal murderer.

All the good characters are the homos, women and blacks. There isn't a single straight white male who is relevant; the most recent issue shows that Nergal, the bad-boy goth/pagan punk rocker, is abused by his girlfriend. You don't get more beta than that.

You know, the last time Japan made a manga about modern-day gods, it was about one dude and a harem of women competing to fuck him.

>>91810898

Fun fact, she just slaughtered a room full of people and now, there's no old woman to cover her ass anymore.

People keep saying that the German victories are "pyrrhic.

They should look up what that word actually means, because it definitely does not apply to the German victories depicted in Uber.

It comes from Pyrrhus defeating the Romans at Heraclea. But in the process he took such heavy losses that he effectively couldn't fight any more. Plutarch described it this way: "Pyrrhus replied to one that gave him joy of his victory that one other such victory would utterly undo him."

If someone keeps having "pyrrhic victories" over and over again, then they aren't actually pyrrhic victories. They're just victories. If you are able to just sustain one such victory after another, then the entire basis for calling it pyrrhic (that losses are unsustainable) is removed. Clearly the Germans CAN sustain whatever losses they take. The allies, however, clearly can't, as evidence by the fact that Britain flat out surrendered and was occupied by Germany. And the Germans apparently have enough forces to occupy the British Isles and launch an invasion of the continental US at the same time, further showing that they have more than enough troops and resources to completely eliminate any pyrrhic aspect of their repeated victories.

In Uber, Germany is simply winning. There is nothing pyrrhic about it. Anyone who uses that word to describe this story is just plain ignorant.

From very first issue.

Lets see if Nazi get out of USA unscratched thanks to new ubers.

>>91817364
They won't need to get out of the USA. They can just destroy it all. The allies have nothing that can touch three battleships. Even allied battleships are inferior to German cruisers.
>>
>>91817505
>Even allied battleships are inferior to German cruisers.
when you send experimental prototypes, whose creators don't think will yield positive results against tried and true conventional forces, into battle they tend to get destroyed.

you're retarded

The cruisers were just as new. But because they were German they had no problems.
>>
>>91817789
> implying the German expeditionary force had the power to destroy America before it lost half or it's manpower.
It did and still does. They have battleships that can just walk through the US destroying everything.

Besides, Gillen has already established that Germany has unlimited manpower reserves. Just look at the fact that they somehow were able to come up with the troops to occupy Britain. While everyone else is stuck with the 1-in-5,000 rate for tankmen, Germany always has as many as it needs for whatever task it wants to do.
>>
>>91818077
Despite his vocal insistence to the contrary.
>>
>>91818077

To expand on this:

At this point in the story, an allied victory would require a complete asspull. Gillen has established a number of facts within the Uber setting and to change them now would require a complete 180 out of the blue.

1. Germany has unlimited reserves of manpower and equipment. See: simultaneous occupation of Britain and invasion of the continental US.

2. Only Germans can doublestack halo, meaning only they get blitzmensch. If it were possible for anyone else to do it, they would have by now. This means that Germany will always have uncontested control over the seas, because nothing beats blitzmensch at sea.

3. There are no effective counters to geltmensch. The allies supposedly had countermeasures in place, yet a geltmensch was able to walk in and slaughter all the US leadership no problem. This means that no matter what the allies come up with, the Germans can just blow it up with geltmensch.

With all of these factors in their favor, any allied victory would just be an even bigger asspull than anything Gillen has done yet. He's basically written himself into a corner by endlessly giving the Germans one advantage after another.

>There is a revisionist history trend going around that says that since the Soviets lost so many men in WW2, they REALLY won the war, and the US just stole all the glory.

WW2 itself was pretty much just like that in real life, until they stuck their dicks in the beehive called the Soviet Union.

Every time Gillen says that Germany is for real totally out of manpower this time, they always come up with more for a new invasion/occupation.
>>
>>91802032
>uh huh. you have been saying that for months and all thats happened is america crawling further up its own ass.

We are something like three fucking issues only into Invasion. If the USA engaged right now with their battleships, they'd go the same way the UK did, or they'd have to win through a big asspull with no build-up.

Calm your nipples. Nazis will lose in the end. What matters is the journey that takes there, and you are the kid asking "are we there yet" every five minutes.

>Calm your nipples. Nazis will lose in the end. What matters is the journey that takes there, and you are the kid asking "are we there yet" every five minutes.
To continue your analogy, no. This is like if you were told "We're going to Disney World!" and lived in Orlando. Then Dad decides to drive to every other state in the US first, including Hawaii and Alaska, before going to Disney World.

There are apparently going to be 60 issues. We're at 30 so far. It has taken us since 2013 to get this far, and we're only half way.

So the allies will start winning in about four more years, sometime in 2021.

Shockingly, this would be correct for World War II. The story opens on April 30, 1945. VE Day is barely a week later in real life, but hey, obviously the Nazis are gonna lose despite massively bulking up with an army it literally did not have.
>>
>>91817843
the cruisers won because inertia exist and they were fighting a retard tier stacked battle ship and finally managed to land a mobility kill after and hour of engagement.
>>91818077
but they never did you retard. The GEF is literally a guerilla movement that has avoided all major military sectors because a slugfest would leave any of their surviving tank men in a state of extreme fatigue. Consequently they have only engaged civilian targets to reduce moral and force the US government to agree to a cease fire.
>>
>>91818792
The thing is, by that point, if Hitler or the army high command had sent out word to all the commanders that they were winning again because of magic supermen, none of the German armies in the field would have believed them and they would have continued doing what they were already doing. Namely, running west as fast as they can in order to surrender to the western allies instead of the Soviets. By the end of April, the German army was completely ignoring the orders coming from Berlin because they were telling them to come to Berlin to fight the Soviets and they were having none of that.
>>
>>91818833
>The GEF is literally a guerilla movement that has avoided all major military sectors
They fought and completely destroyed an entire army of American tankmen. They have already have fought and defeated the US in a direct engagement.
>>

> and they were fighting a retard tier stacked battle ship
Because Gillen decided that the brits can only act like idiots who completely wasted the only battleship they had (which, incidentally, doesn't make any sense, considering by population they should have more even if you only count the British Isles). He's built the entire story on the premise that the Germans really are a superior race and that all the other races are inferior idiots who can't do anything right.

this is true, but they lost half of their force of tanks in a different engagement and have yet to attack an actual military installation because they would lose too much in the process.
>>91818959
the person who headed the British department was a civvie who treated the entire project as an experimental foray, as opposed to having a military leader like Sankt who refused to even let the government know what a tankman was until a multiple functional units were combat ready. The American project is miles better because its management isn't retreaded, and the USSR is better because they stick to a tried and true method and don't care about waste in mass activations.
>>
>>91819620
> but they lost half of their force of tanks in a different engagement
They have plenty more where they came from.

> The American project is miles better because its management isn't retreaded,
Except they've wasted two of their three battleships by not fully activating them.
>>
>>91819739
>They have plenty more where they came from.
The GEF lost half of it's Atlantic Blitzmech unit which is a noticeable loss since blitz are specialized units who aren't produced at the rate of the general utility tankmen.

>Except they've wasted two of their three battleships by not fully activating them.
this is true, but it's still miles better than the Brits retarded civvie who decided to phys stack a battleship to the point it had to break bones to regain mobility after long periods of rest or sending out battleships that haven't completed their activation process. The Brits fucked themselves by not letting Steph head the project altogether.

The Germans can just send in more. They always have enough tankmen. They've got a big enough force to occupy Britain, so the loss of some of the first wave against the continental US isn't going to make much difference in the long run.
>>
>>91819620
The text specifically read "This was the smaller part, by far, of the german invading forces, but a victory - any victory - was important to american morale." That's sure as shit not half of the german expeditionary force destroyed. The germans are still very much capable of glassing the entire east coast with impunity, and pushing inwards from there. The battle of Philadelphia was a small sacrifice on the germans part to annihilate a MUCH larger number of US ubers.

Yeah, flying doesn't sound that good when all the other tanks have to do is look up to kill you. BUT.

Maybe they can use sonic attacks. If allied forces use earmuffs, they could rupture the eardrums of the Nazis and then it would be GG NO RE.

Ennis finds the idea stupid that someone getting bitten by a radioactive raccoon can now pull planets around, without any training and without any regards to the physics involved (which all get ignored because fanboys think it looks awesome for Superman to pull the planet using WW's lasso).
He likes Superman only, and only cause he's a huge bro.

Uber is somewhat well constructed in that regard, is written with causes and effects in place, and portrays accurately the unimaginable horrors of war, and the incredible effort and sacrifice required for the smallest gain. And, you know, people don't just directly go to punching Hitler directly after activation.

It's Nazi Wank but the only thing that happens is that the war continues with the Germans being eternally strong despite being on their last legs in RL and the Allies barely maintaining a status quo.

You forget how they had all their Uber tech stolen at the start, got completely stomped by the Russians (twice), got their ports destroyed by British, had a Geltmensch captured, had Hitler killed by a soldier who had enough of him being a megalomaniac cunt, one of their Battleships is paralyzed, the other lost an arm to regular tankmen, and the third is a retard with sadistic tendencies who only survived because Nazi high council did not want to lose their Aryan Viking.

Oh, and the part where they regularly mention that they can only win by burning all enemies so they don't overtake them in Uber production... which is how they wanted to win WW2 back in 39-41, and what made them lost it in 42-45 in real history.

That's allowed them to benefit from the allies' research, since anything the allies discovered was immediately taken using the geltmensch. The Germans have effectively doubled their research capabilities since they benefit from both their discoveries and those made by the allies.

> got completely stomped by the Russians (twice)
The Russians are out of the picture.

> got their ports destroyed by British
And yet they had no problem with launching an invasion across the Atlantic. Germany's naval situation is even stronger now that Britain is defeated and occupied.

> had a Geltmensch captured
They can make more, and the other two were still able to completely destroy the Manhattan project, steal the atomic bomb, destroy Washington DC, and kill the US leadership.

> Battleships
They have 4. Zero, as mentioned before, can be deployed as essentially a bomb via rocket. One is restricted to defense. That still leaves two for offense, and none of the western allies have anything close to the power of two German battleships.

The Nazis in America have no support, they just need to be bled out eventually. Then they will invade Europe under command by Uber Patton.

They didn't conquer shit. They bullied Europe to capitulation by systematically destroying major cities. Same way how USA ended the pacific war by dropping the nukes.

>And APPARENTLY we're only halfway through this mess.

Okay, look at where Star Wars was at the middle. The Nazis just blew up Alderaan, Space Hitler just lightsabered down Colossus, Katyusha is off stroking his wookie in the woods instead of helping the fight, and the Death Star is en route to America. The only ray of sunshine is that Patton turned out to be a Jedi and Stephanie managed to bring the detailed schematics of the Death Star, and their trusty hacker R2-Turing, into American hands.

I think it's more that the Ubers are treated more like new technologies changing the course of warfare in WW1. They're also not bright, spandex-clad heroes intervening as they see fit and effortlessly tossing about tanks, they're still soldiers operating under a chain of command with clear limitations (unless you're German) to what they can do. Also Sigmund and the English spy are more or less Ennis protagonists.

>>91825000
Counterpoints:
1. This has shown to have little effect on their ability to deploy or create new Ubers and new Uber types.
2. The Eastern front is stalemated, and only because they don't know that Maria has fucked off to Siberia with a giant chunk of Soviet potentials.
3. Didn't stop them from being able to create a fleet of Type XXI U-Boats, when in reality only 4 had been completed by April 1945.
4. After successfully destroying the Manhattan Project so completely it's not a factor within the current timespan of the series with a Geltmensh, and then going on to launching a successful decapitation strike against US high command with another.
5. Only to have him replaced by someone much more pragmatic and stable.
6. And still capable of using her Halo effect as an artillery/AA unit, plus the Uber doctors have been shown attempting to regrow body parts using Halo.
7. Which required over a hundred tankmen to pull off and he still successfully retreated and suffers little in loss of combat effectiveness due to the missing arm.
8. He's still a fully operational battleship, even if he's a twat.

The USA just lost it's only organized Uber force to the Nazis and it will take weeks before any Ubers are fully activated, they're still refusing to fully activate the black Battleships, it will take even longer before the new Uber types are ready, and even then they'd be throwing inexperienced Ubers against combat-hardened battleships and blitzmen. "Bled out eventually" doesn't mean much when they've got carte blanche to wipe out the Eastern Seaboard and the Nazis have control of the seas.
>>
>>91825165
>That's allowed them to benefit from the allies' research,
Nazis had 1 fucking year of headstart. Imagine if Stalin was invading, with atomic bombs he has been stockpiling for over a year, while the allies just got handed the recipe for building nukes. Europe would be a wasteland in a few months. That's what is happening right now.

>The Russians are out of the picture.
Temporarily.

>And yet they had no problem with launching an invasion across the Atlantic.
They had almost a hundred elektroboots half complete (historic fact), and they halted all material production except the subs. It is conceivable that they could get enough of them done - and their only goal was ferrying the ubers, so they didn't even need to arm them.

>They can make more,
Apparently they can't due to only the original head of the project knowing about them. For all we know, Turing just figured out how to make Geltmensch, and 5 issues later they'll have Hitlers bunker demolished.

>Zero, as mentioned before, can be deployed as essentially a bomb via rocket.
Yeah, good luck transporting him from his cave to wherever you want to deploy him.

>none of the western allies have anything close to the power of two German battleships.

118 Type XXI U-Boats to be precise, only 4 combat worthy due to each boat needing six months of post-construction overhauling to be fit for duty.

Pffft. You're really that gullible? There are 30 more issues left in this series, so we've got another 29 of the allies getting the shit kicked out of them.

You people keep saying "oh just wait, when X happens it'll turn around for the allies." And you're always wrong.

At this point you've got to be an idiot to think that things will actually turn around for the allies until Gillen has milked this story for every last cent.

>He saved Britain in actual fucking real life.

Uhm....

Okay, the codebreaking Turing did was very valuable, no doubt, but his magical faggotry is obscuring the fact that he was far from the only cryptographer involved.

William Friedman was undoubtedly a better codebreaker, not to mention better at building code machines. Hell, Friedman holds the record for the patent that was held secret for the longest time: Sixty-seven years! That fucker was literally working on stuff decades ahead of everybody else.

And honestly, it was radar and Spitfires that saved England, along with a big, healthy helping hand from good old 'Murica.

Only a relatively small part of Europe has gotten the Burn.

>>91826822
If anyone deserves more credit for Allied codebreaking it's the Polish.

Also you can't forget the Dowding system. It may not be glamorous, but an organized and efficient system for identifying and responding to air attacks was a game changer.

In a comic about 1940's combat it's funny that the biggest impacts have routinely been women.
>>
>>91828956
I'm pretty sure that outside of her actions in the beginning of the comic Stephanie hasn't really done much directly outside of accidentally discovering the Geltmensch that is really important. Likewise Leah is mostly just tragedy bait that's never done anything useful. If anything the fact that the series treats them like they're actually important is the real issue.

Stephanie discovered the ability to make destroyers, cruisers, and heavies

I didn't know that women were the main contributors to Allied success in WWII. Black people, too.

And I say this as a Chinese. China got spanked so bad by Japan, there are two 'lost years' where no records were kept.

Yes. Because that is the same thing as a woman.

I mean men fought the war. Everyone knows that. You shouldn't look to comic books for historical accuracy.

>>91829331
It's not that women can't have victories, there are tons of notable ones from WW2.
It's just that it's odd they get all the major victories.
>A single woman got the allies the ability to produce tankmen and then discovered super secret potential destroyers and cruisers
>a single woman crippled the Manhatan project and delivered a bomb to the Japs
>a single woman killed one battleship, crippled another, smashed through London unhindered, then went back to burn it to the ground
>a single woman magically became the most powerful battleship ON ACCIDENT, produces red stuff on her own and food from dirt, and was able to deliver the only major German defeat that had an impact on their strategy

This is on top of all the ass pulls the comic already has in it
>Russian accidentally goes full halo loading with no negative side effects
>Brits do a controlled strength loaded battleship with the negative effect that she can't move
>Brit battleship gets the ability to move and is incredibly fast, but can't even hit two cruisers

The most notable achievement a male battleship has done so far is being the first human Bonsai tree that had to be pruned with an industrial drill.

Didn't Gillen write Three as a response to how historically inaccurate Miller's 300 was?

>>91831022
less about how historically inaccurate it was and more about a different part of Spartan history that was left out, i.e. hunting down slaves. It was inspired by 300, but he didn't necessarily write it as a takedown of 300

Agreed. I cannot think of a violence-focused cartoon or comic from the last five years that didn't come across to me as stale and behind its times. Unless you're a soccer mom or a sjw, the emotional impact of phsyical violence is simply gone.

America is going to lose. And just as they sign the surrender, the bike is going to come down. (Just to rub in the overkill from Hiroshima and Nagasaki)

The Allies will then have to run a guerilla campaign against the Nazi mega state (funded and supplied by the 'glorious' USSR) so America can experience the horror that they put Vietnam under in OTL

Realistically, Russia would get at least twice the battleships the Germans had. They had the expandable population

racism
>>
>>91832586
I think this is what I hate most about Uber. Gillen is equating racism with being a retard who would rather watch the Germans burn America to the ground than make an army of super chinks.

His desire to virtue signal in the story is causing the allies to bungle like children until blonde girl and magic homo can ride to their rescue.

>Same way how USA ended the pacific war by dropping the nukes.

The Russians ended the Pacific War by denying the Japanese their imaginary chance at getting a "honourable" peace treaty for good.

The bombs didn't even register as particularily outstanding as they didn't do any more damage than any other case of US Airforce raid. Also there plain was nothing left to bomb at that point, so the US basically would have had to invade if they didn't feel like losing Japan to Stalin.

Realistically they would power up the blacks as much as they were able to and then have them lead all the risky attacks while Razor is kept in reserve training.

Given how shitty the indians were treated by the British back then, not giving them an unstoppable superweapon makes a certain sense.

>Pants on hands retarded

It's insanely retarded. The allies literally could not lose if they just shared their tech with the Chinese. Japan would be stomped into the ocean and Germany would be next as a victory lap.

Unless Gillen wrote that the Chinese just had some kind of genetic block to the magic alien crystals they cannot lose in this scenario.
>>
>>91834188
After the famine of 43, not giving them the power to shoot lazers is understandable.
>Many sympathetic parliament members
Churchill (aka the guy in charge for a significant part of the comic) talked about having him brutally murdered tho.
>Would literally rather surrender.
Eh, they assumed their heavy battleship would save the day. Then suddenly the germans asspulled and started nuking England with their blond sue. I can sorta accept England surrendering under those conditions.
(but they could at the very least have pulled a France and maintained the struggle from their colonies. Like India and magical pajeets as you said)

Well, that would be true, but in the case of Uber, it starts near the end of the war - well after the Nazi's have had collective penises savaged by just about everyone else they were fighting.

It is true that they have the ... battleships? It's been a while since I've read the comics sorry - but you get the point that they do have the most powerful super-powered-people, but the overarching point is that, by the point that the comic starts, the collective Nazi war-machine has had its shit pushed in on multiple fronts, and that, no matter how powerful their battleships are, the insane turn-around they have on the whole war is insane which you could argue is the point of the comic, but you get where I'm coming from

The comic would've been better off if there was more of a struggle in the Nazi's growing dominance - a constant back and forth with the Nazi's slowly gaining the advantage, due to their the sheer power of their battleships (and the fact that they're the only ones that really have them), with time spent showing just how fragile the whole situation is/was. As the comic stands, however, the Nazi's have come back from the brink of defeat near fully (in spirit, at least), and have gone from strength to strength with no real setbacks, surmounting insurmountable odds at every turn.

If you want to boil it down to a writers answer, the problem with the comic is that there is no real conflict - battles sure, epic confrontations with detailed plans, struggles between characters that the audience care about - and then the Nazi's curb stomp the competition, and fucking moon-walk out of their problem - with even allied victories turning into nothing by the time it comes relevant.

Fuck, that was a long one. I think I need a cigarette after that

Are you really this fucking stupid? If they share Ubers with chinese, then they suddenly have a 1 billion strong Uber army to deal with, who will not stop at kicking out the japanese from Manchuria.

That irks me in Uber. Relatively unknown relevant ww2 savants aren't that rare, putting Turing everywhere is plain lazy.

Thats criticisms what you should use toward entire comic not just Turing role, because that symptom of larger problem.

Everything involve to little amount of people, like Uber thing should involve more Axis scientist and officers instead practically 4 important people (and one who turned spy).

Uber's problem is that it's more event-focused than character-focused in its writing.

Really, for me the only interesting characters are the historical ones. Mostly because we know them from history and it's interesting to see how they react.

But OCs... Game of Thrones is also full of drama, trauma and gore, but its characters do have room for breathe, to be sympathetic and to be funny. Here we have only gore, drama and trauma, nonstop. It is stale, and at some point you just stop caring.

This story is carried only by its concept, not characters. But then again, the story is a stale, boring fest of catastrophes. And those catastrophes aren't even caused that much by characters themselves, but by almost faceless, pants-on-head retarded western governments. So why should I care?
