>The Flintstones gets completely snubbed at Eisner's

Political agenda shit beats out actually decent comics to people who don't read comics in the first place.

>>93035546

Flintstones is like five times the political agenda but written five times as well!

>>93035578
>five times the political agenda

I think you'll find that Flintstones is an 8 on the Agenda scale and Mockingbird is a solid 37

>>93035463
Neither of them deserve anything.

>>93035578
Less agenda, more commentary.
Flintstones has an angle, but it was presented with nuance. It wasn't "I'm writing this to tell you that X is wrong and Y is right", it was "I'm writing this to show you how X is wrong, but in a way that doesn't make you uncomfortable or preached at."

Or something like that. Anyways, Flintstones didn't make headlines, so of course it's getting snubbed. The Eisners tend to snub anything non-Vertigo from DC; they nominated Multiversity: Pax Americana and passed on it, but gave an award to Silver Surfer for presenting the same themes of infinity but in a more superficial manner.

>>93035546
I don't even think it's that. The Eisners just seem to love fellating "real" authors over straight up comic writers.

>>93035629

There's literally an issue where a character can't stop talking about how stupid capitalism is and it's 10 times better than the entirety of Mockingbird!

it's politics man, Flintstones wasn't bashing trump hard enough for an award

>>93035670
Also
>2017
>giving a shit about industry awards

>>93035792
Thanks for outing yourself as a pleb. All the minor categories are given out based on actual merit. It's only the major awards that are driven by agendas.

Normies didn't get it. Tumblr made fun of it cause "Serious Flintstones" and Newsarama gave it a 3/10 because it didn't get it. "They set up this character and he dies and it's treated like a joke? How disrespectful"
THAT IS THE POINT!!!!
It's like they think good political commentary is just there to make them feel warm and fuzzy.

>>93035695
Because
>>A Bloo Bloo Bloo, why is it so hard to be a woman? If women ran the planet, there would be peace for all-Wait, is that bitch talking to my boyfriend?! Oh, I'm going to bust her ass open!

>>93036078
I really don't understand how, it wasn't exactly subtle

>>93035463
How... how could they snub fucking FLINTSTONES? That's like the best fucking book in years!

>>93036125
Name three wars in the last century that were started by women/a woman.

>>93035546
>people who don't read comics in the first place.

The Eisners are exclusively voted on by people who work in comics, whether they're artists, writers, editors, or store owners.

They see more comics in a single year than you'll read in your life; they're better at telling from the first few pages whether to give something a shot than you'll ever be. Sometimes, because they're human, they get it wrong, but even then - for all of them to get it "wrong" implies that the book was badly put together.

Honestly, I didn't read either title. Neither appealed to me as a premise, and for the same reason: they're rehashes of something that's been done. Who gives a shit? Life's too short for reboots on reboots.

>>93035695
Ah, but that's simply revealing *your* agenda and priorities, not placing either title higher or lower on this fictive scale.

>>93036078
Many years ago there was a reboot of a popular cartoon franchise. A series of live-action movies followed; nobody much liked them, everybody agreed they were garbage, but they kept getting made.

Am I talking about The Transformers or The Flintstones?

It's not enough to say something has great writing so we should all watch it. That's the kind of shit that bronies say all the time; nobody believes them, and nobody believed you about the Flintstones, because it was a cartoon made to sell cigarettes that has lost pretty much all context over the years as the ads have been cut out and the jokes have become irrelevant dead air. It's the skeleton of a comedy, long after the flesh has rotted away; you can put new meat on those bones, but that doesn't make it appropriate or worth your time to do so.

>>93036204
well

Hitler was a dickgirl

everybody knows Galtieri was Eva Peron in drag

and...

shit, alright, you got me

>>93036204
There have been numerous waifu wars, which by default are driven by women.

I actually read the Mockingbird stuff, just to be sure I wasn't hopping on a bandwagon of hate... it's pretty bad. They retcon out Bobbie's WCA rape into an affair for REASONS, and it's just embarrassing all around. Also the first 6 issues, I think, gave her super powers... but then they never come up again. It feels like a really pretentious "you bring your OWN interpretation!" bullshit things, but that's also why Marvel started dropping hints that the whole series was noncanon in the letter's page. The regular artist was pretty good, but I don't know if she can really do action because the script NEVER called for it. It was a waste of any degree of talent involved.

>>93035843
How is it pleb to not give a shit about a committee of community insiders all patting themselves on the back? I'll go form my own opinions on what is and isn't good, thank you very much.

>>93036268
>Honestly, I didn't read either title
That's a lot of fucking talking for being so uninformed on either book. It's like you wrote your whole life story just to tell us your opinion doesn't matter.

>>93036268
that's a lot of words for "I have no idea what I'm talking about, please ignore me."

>>93036204
And you name three wars started by a man/men

You can't. because in the last century people don't start wars, capitalism does.

>>93036297
So what, in your opinion, were the year's best comics for readers aged 9-12? What were the chief choices for graphic albums? What were the top of the line reality-based works? Can you tell me your thoughts on archival collections of works that are at least 20 years old? What stands out in the US editions of international material?

I don't mean to bully you, I'm just curious what opinions you might have formed about these.

>>93035670
It's that self hatred

of all the retardation in your post, that is by far the most retarded thing because even the biggest fucking mongoloid could tell you that's not fucking true. Flintstones was just attempt for Hanna-Barbera to break into adult sitcoms also so they could rip off the Honeymooners as hard as humanly possible

So you're nominating a comic that doesn't qualify, good to know.

I'm glad you're not on the committee.

>>93036423
>bully
I don't feel that's bullying, but perhaps your protesting of it belies intent.
Honestly I have no opinions on these because they feel like arbitrary distinctions being made merely to inflate the ego of the critic. "Ooh, look at ALL these categories I've compartmentalized art into!"

>>93036643
you asked what was good, not what I would nominate for an Eisner

>>93036606

I don't think you were curious at all, anon

>>93036606
Same. Pulled the singles, and I picked up the first trade. Plan to get the second as well; the trades are great to get people to read it.

If they put out an omni, I'd buy that, too.

>>93036659
I think it should be assumed on your part that when I'm asking you about the past year that I probably want to know about the past year.

>>93036725
and Fantagraphics did a second printing of The Eternaut in the past year, which was good because the first printing was miniscule.

Mockingbird was mostly dull, peppered with extra crappy low points almost designed to cause controversy, and played the Gamergate-warriors/Girlbusters slapfighters for hot clicks.
It rode a wave of controversy into think pieces that got it nominated.

Flintstones, while brutal and generally left leaning (if I were picking a side) never really pissed in anyone's cereal and got the divisive angry voting blocks going.
Essentially, by never having goddawful shitshows with unneccesary references to tampons, Flintstones was too good to be nominated.

>>93038844
Communists supported by Russia were pivotal in German politics. They started a violent revolution. The facists got into power significantly on their promise to fight the communists. This same pattern occurs in quite a few other places in Europe, most notably spain.

>>93038844

WWII is a result of WWI. If germany was given realistic reparations it wouldn't have needed to go to war. Russia is totally responsible for WWI.

This is also pretty enlightening.

that's a drastic oversimplification that ignores so much of the geopolitical situation at the time.

that leaves out Germany being cut off from the ocean by Britain, and it leaves out the naval arms race between Germany and Britain after the Franco-Prussian War, and it leaves out France pissed off at Germany for the Franco-Prussian War, and it leaves out Kaiser Wilhelm trying to get into the imperialism game late after everyone had pretty much settled on who owned what, and it leaves out Bismarck retiring while the Kaiser refused to renew treaties with Russia, and it leaves out pre-existing tensions between Austria-Hungary and Russia because of disagreements over Balkan states AND it leaves out the Ottomans pissed off because of the First Balkan War (which also contributed to tension between Austria-Hungary and Russia).

the ENTIRE CONTINENT was champing at the bit for war, not just Russia, hence why it got so fucking big.

>>93036204

>>93039312

no one wanted a war, they wanted more and not to be challenged and maintain their power. There's a reason there was peace for all those years. France could have not backed Russia, Russia could have.....not moved in for war. Russia had very little reason back Serbia, you know of a damn good reason to do it other than for a war?

>>93039178
>let Austria and Serbia work things out
By that you mean "do nothing while an unfriendly government curbstomps the serbians", remember Russia has historically been the protector of serbians and claimed blood kinship with them. And it was close- an invasion of Serbia would mean a ton of Austrian troops right near the Russian border. Raising a defensive force would have seemed at least prudent.

>>93039312
There was a weird dichotomy- On the one hand, Great power diplomacy was all about machismo and shows of strength, on the other, most people didn't want a major war because it would cost more than anyone could possibly gain (and that was when they thought the worst effect would be a disruption of trade!)
Hence there were a lot of half-actions, ultimatums and bluffs- Russia's partial mobilization is one, and the Czar even tried to cancel it partway through.

>>93039235

Eh about the same. Some good shit on there, but also Spider-Verse.

>>93039709
They love their Spider-man. Has Blacksad ever won an Eisner?

>>93036268
CORGIS! xD

>>93035463
The Eisners, as the Oscars and basically everything, are the award show equivalent of a pageant model making a speech about how she really, really cares about the environment and peace in the world, gotta look like you're daddy's precious smart girl even if all you do behind the stage is coke and cocks

Wasn't there a scandal a few years ago about the sci-fi books awards where some authors and fans openly accused the judges of shoving away noteworthy works for the sake of focusing on politically acceptable ones that talked about gays and whatnot?

>>93039770
I think it was the Hugos right at the height of Gamergate. It was a real shitshow, as far as I remember

>>93039724
When is the next Blacksad releasing by the by? There's only so many times I can thumb through Amarillo.

Squirrel Girl's artist has nominations for 2 different books in 2016. (She's also up for Jughead)

That's because his output was really sporadic in the 00's.

Industry awards are shit. The Grammies are based on peak chart sales - top 4 of the year wins. The Academy Awards was outed by 2 of the panelists who revealed the voting process is based purely on "who's been here but hasn't won it yet" rather than performance/execution and genuinely have a disdain for genres they considered childish. It's pretty widely-known that the Academy breathed a sigh on relief when Babe didn't win Best Picture and Beauty and the Beast (the original Disney Animated) was veto-ed out of a legit win because it "would damage the integrity of filmmaking".

Quantity over Quality, eh?

The Falklands (Thatcher left the islands unguarded despite intelligence about the Argentine Junta); Indira Gandhi: the "State of Emergency" where she basically conducted a purge of the opposition, and "Operation Blue Star" where she ordered a violent crackdown on the Sikh population; Benazir Bhutto launched a Jihadi attack on government forces in Afghanistan.

>Top 10

>Promethea

those are some of his best works, nigga

...ever notice how /pol/ didn't really begin to flourish until after the FBI started monitoring 4chan?
Thanks, Moot.

>Flourish

Great /pol/ thread, guys.

>>93035463
Any mega for the Flintstones comics?

>>93035463
The Flintstones is a terrible comic.

>>93039834
>That bottom text
I'll never get over how much it shocked me when I realized Ryan North only has one joke. The emperor had no clothes the whole fucking time.

>>93040045
Cellphones are what really killed /pol/. They encourage low effort comments due to the random time constraints people have when using them. I wish I had it saved but theres an image around showing how at specific intervals the number of phone posters goes up significantly and the quality of the comments across the board tanks horribly

>>93039908
Nice. There we go. Women making a difference.

>>93039834
Holy shot did they just steal a line from galaxyquest?

>>93039834
How was this even ... I can't even ... CONSIDERED?

>>93035546
Fpbp

I think the Flintstones book is pretty overrated. Not bad, but not amazing.

>>93035463
America had the most believable and realistic depiction of a person with antisocial personality disorder I've ever seen in any work of fiction, so it deserves it.
In case if some of you are thick-headed, I'm being facetious. Mostly, at least, because it's scary how realistically sociopathic Bobbi actually is in the comic

>>93045439
Mockingbird, not America.
Oops, I'm retarded.

What you think is wrong.

>>93046099
The (((media))) hate!

Where can I read this Flintstones comic? Looks interesting.

>>93046099
I"m just glad Suicide Guy didn't die for nothing now.

>>93037500
Reading these vignettes it's no surprise at all it wasn't considered

>>93046099
Is there a complete set somewhere? I really enjoyed it when it was storytimed, but I'm sure I missed a lot.

>>93035463
That quality ain't important as long as you have a vagina
