Never noticed that before.

Another black girl created by non-blacks, so she's just a generic fuck who's too scared to push boundaries or act like a real person? No.

>>94362938

I never read her
all I know is her book sells very little, but some kind of deal for little kids makes it profitable, the same goes for squirrel girl (I am not American)

I think it looks strange how Marvel suddenly decided to make 2 of their smartest heros young black girls. Only one wouldnt have been weird, but too is kind of strange.

She really didn't click with me, but I can see why other people like her so much.

>>94362938
Hell no

>>94362938

No.
I absolutely hate Moongirl.
"Small child is the smartest person on Earth" is fine in a comedy setting like Dexter's Lab or Jimmy Nuetron or some shit, but not in a cape book. In this setting it's just obnoxious.

Especially when people like Doom and Richards are running around.

She honestly could have been a great character, just like Riri Williams.

However, that requires taking chances and making an assload of mistakes compared to the small few successes most superheroes achieve throughout their life span.

I wouldn't mind her if Marvel didn't obnoxiously shill her as THE SMARTEST, YES, EVEN SMARTER THAN REED, DEAL WITH IT FANBOYS and if she stayed in her own all ages book where she can make boxing gloves on springs that can punch out the Hulk and rocket boots or whatever else, without directly affecting any other mainline books.

As it is, the push behind making a little black girl the smartest character, smarter than all of those other smart characters, was pure tell-don't-show bullshit that Marvel expects us to swallow just because she's a little black girl.
Shoving her into so many books and events where she's written like shit just makes that even more obnoxious, because she's only being shoved into all of these dumb events so they can show off how smart she is to everyone who isn't reading her solo (which is everyone because those sales are fucking abysmal).

ffs, characters like Moon Girl have no business showing up as a guest star in a Venom book of all things.

>>94362938
No, she's too full of herself and it's not worth reading.

>>94363919
I mean, zdarsky tries really hard, god bless him. But comedy is not about trying.

She talks a lot of shit.
apparently she's supposed to be THE smartest person in the Marvel Universe. The problem is that she flaunts this title while giving lectures on how great she is and then doesn't do anything remotely interesting or groundbreaking.
She's apparently smarter than Reed Richard, Amadeus Cho and Tony Stark. So what are her actual accomplishments?

>>94363985
Fair point, but I should have specified that my liking for Zdarsky is mostly because of his flawless shitposting on the internet.

I wish I had taken a screen cap of Zdarsky and Ellis shitposting on some random image board.

>>94364030
Actually, yes. The idea of a pre-teen supergenius with delusions of grandeur who wants to remake the world in her own image because she thinks she's smarter than everyone else is a premise that has some solid weight to it. That's not even counting the fact that she can body swap with a giant red mutant T-Rex.

>>94364041
No, but I do remember the one they released as part of their official "top 10" videos where they bumped Reed down to #2 just to showcase Lunella in the top spot. Given the state of modern Marvel, I can completely believe that they'd make another one where the entire list is dominated by minority girls from NYC. Isn't that a thing in Unstoppable Wasp?

I heard she sells well at those book fairs they have at elementary schools, but those sales aren't counted in the comic sales because it's not from a comic book shop which is why her sales numbers look so low, but they haven't canceled her series.

See, what little I read of her comic seemed to imply that while she was smart, she was too full of herself to be effective about it. Like, they seemed to be trying to balance her with flaws.

Every crossover I see of her seems hellbent on throwing any of that out the window for "world's smartest person is a little black girl what you got a problem with that?"

Maybe I'm wrong, but that's definitely the impression one gets in passing.

>>94362938
My first impression of her was complete garbage, it seemed like someone took two seconds to think her up. That being said I've only ever read her in crossovers and honestly she seemed ok. If her solo book gets a writer I enjoy I might actually pick up her book

As if "smartest person in the universe" isn't a fucking revolving door spitting out a new a sap every other comic.

The bare concept of having a character that is a) black and b) smart says nothing because those are characteristics that you're born with.

>>94362938
I don't know, i haven't read it. Should I?
Keep in mind i'm not a SJW but only slightly racist like most human beings. I've no problem with black characters but find moments like >>94363238 kinda cringe, tell me what are the good things about it and i might consider it.

>>94364649
That moment isn't in this comic, that's from something else.

A SIMILAR moment happens but from my recollection it read more like "you can't do this thing because you are a child no matter how genius you are", and I don't recall it being a race thing. It was obnoxious anyway because it required great leaps of disbelief to think anyone let alone a teacher would believe something so wrong let alone teach it (qualifier: i don't remember what it was but I remember it being dumb as hell). But no, it wasn't a race thing. Pretty sure.

I don't remember anything of the mainline comic being about race, really, but I could be wrong, and I didn't get very far because what I saw in storytimes didn't convince me to give it money.

>>94364367
Jesus... Just imagine for a sec. The Cheese Ray is HORRIFYING. That the science for that device exists. It can turn anything into Cheese. Think about it. Is it permanent? Does it work on living tissue? Can it be set to other objects besides cheese? If used on a person does the person still percieve its surroundings? Its a fucking alchemy laser and Jimmy invented it JUST TO SEE IF HE COULD/FOR THE LULZ! And thats not even the fucking scariest thing he has ever invented. There is a list a mile wide and I will leave it to you all to list examples as I have a hard time even picking even one but Moon Gurl thinks shes hot shit because she made robot duplicates? Really!?

>>94364030
It would depend on the setup but Lunella would definitely work better as a villain.

>>94362938
I've read the first couple TPBs and I enjoyed them. They aren't earth shattering story-telling, but they are enjoyable comics. Modern cape comics could use more like Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.

>>94363409
Her other disguise is Riri

>>94364849
Alright I'm back. It was surprisingly good, albeit its second chapter not as interesting the first due the T-Rex chase scene taking many pages.

From what i've read i think it'd be a great comic to gift to a daughter or a little to teenager sister or niece, assuming it doesn't stray in tone too much from the first two chapters. Other than that and letting aside i'm obviously not part of the target audience, i liked quite a bit the character designs and how they feel more or less like people (aka not acting like caricatures but keeping in mind the age of the protagonist when it comes to her emotions).
It's just me or Lunella is kinda thicc? Not that i'm complaining.
The only things i didn't like were how oddly smart the cavemen got since they reached the earth. The dinosaur acts like a dangerous pet out of a Disney movie but i guess it's okay for the kind of story it is.

A solid 3 out of 5 Stars so far imo.

See, that's what's so weird about the crossover stuff I keep seeing.

The main comic, from what I saw, was making the point that solving some bullshit Reed made up doesn't really mean anything. SHE'S the one making the assertion that she's the smartest person in the world.

But it's like when she shows up elsewhere everyone takes her at her word about it or something?

Yeah I heard the same thing from two leftie comics podcasters ("Wait What?").

Then they actually looked at book fair catalogs and were puzzled to discover that Moon Girl isn't even listed.

The "she sells well at book fairs" is another stupid lie. Just like the lie about how "actually Ms. Marvel sells more digitally than physically; she's the best-selling Marvel title overall".

It's all nonsense. They publish Moon Girl because they're a bunch of out-of-touch white liberals.

To be honest, the Moon Girl book is fine. It's okay. I think it's obnoxious for Marvel promo to keep saying she's the smartest character evar, but it isn't like I have anything against the actual book. I think it'd be great if something like this could pull in new readers of any sort. But it's not. At all. It's an embarrassment.

And they put out this "book fair" lie to cover their ass.

>>94362938
I read the first issue and hated her. I don't know what they were thinking, but she came off as a egotistical little bitch who considers herself too smart to even interact with others. And as if that wasn't bad enough, it's annoying how unrealistically stupid everyone around her behaves, just for the sake of validating her shitty attitude.

If I was told that she was supposed to be a brat who improves as a person over the course of her run I'd give her a shot, since I love Devil Dinosaur. But it sounds like she's still a shit character.

It wasn't even Reed that made the puzzle, it was Banner. And it was just some random wiimote looking hologram thing with some buttons on it, the empty equivalent of Banner showing up out of nowhere and declaring her to be the smartest just because.

Everyone else taking her at her word is just more of Marvel's bare-faced shilling, and Lunella isn't the only one that gets this treatment. Just look at that one page in America that was just a bunch of other characters (and the author's self insert) talking about how amazing America is. If other characters say it's true, it must be true!

I'm glad that you're not baiting, because maybe you can recommend me something new to read up on.

A character who isn't afraid to dabble in stereotypes while embracing it, while not acting like either a "super smarter than you and also sassy" copy/paste character that I keep on seeing, or a boring 'straight man' shitter with barely any personality unless there's something serious going on, like Miles Morales.

Basically "a better job" is not doing what Bendis does. I know that Moon Girl isn't written by Bendis, but she's just as boring to me.

>Two extra accessible holes

>>94368806
Was he a scientific genius?

>>94362938
Super smart characters like moon girl are usually poorly written and therefore shitty, terrible, and boring as a result. The main issue with them is the character has to have someone sentient and capable of conversation to bounce ideas off of in order to create interesting dialogue that will keep the readers engaged. The two exceptions to this ruling are characters who internalize everything, and villains who work alone. I picked some examples of this
>Mr. Fantastic/ Beast talk to their respective teams about new discoveries and other science topics. Their teammates ask questions and we in turn are learning.
>Sherlock Holmes and Watson/ Batman and Robin have genius characters talking to their friends about adventures and discoveries otherwise it would them just talking to themselves
>Jimmy Neutron has two friends, Carl and Sheen, so he can talk to them about his new inventions
Moongirl has a dumb dinosaur that cannot speak to her, and has very limited facial expressions due to very poor illustrations. This means she has to carry the story all by herself, and if a character is not charming or likable, then it becomes very grating. Smart characters need an ally to illustrate how smart they are to the normal person, without shitting on pre-established heroes, which is frustrating if it is NOT a comedy. Ultimately, moongirl has no one to create interesting dialogue with, leading to shitty story telling.

>>94369780
Smart shithead characters need to get their comeuppance once in a while, else they're pointless. That's why Superior Spider-Man got grating and had awful tie-ins. That's why a lot of people hate Damian for all the times he gets away with being a little shit. Moon Girl never gets her comeuppance so her bratty character doesn't have a reason to exist

in setting full of super geniuses. just being yet another one is nothing special.

I think riri makes for a better villian. But riri with lunella as her sidekicks might work too.


>>94363276
Of course not. but because of self preservation the the current political environtment, lack of famliarity, or whatever the fuck is wrong with Bendis, white authors frequently hold back when it comes to black characters.

Simple example. Genndy vs Sanford Green and Walker do a stylized power man and iron fist that take cues from blacksplotiation movies. Genndy gets accused of being a racist , green and walker get a pass for much of the same shit.

There is NO way uncle rukkus or Jimmy rebel or black dynamite ever make it to air under white creators.

The most bizarre part of that was how every single statement in that lecture, no matter how banal, was punctuated by every character in attendance saying "Yeah! She's smart! I agree with her!". It's like the writer was terrified that the reader might disagree with her, so she tried to shore it up at every possible juncture. It's like the pseudointellectual version of a laugh track.

It's pretty much just a gag where a kid expects the teacher to react like teachers always do at the start of an inspirational movie about a young genius and she's waiting for her big scenes cue but thats all. Its just a lame gag, not a discourse on political philosophy.

I like her ongoing well enough. Her appearances in other books tends to range from unnecessary to grating though. Of course "character is better in their ongoing than in guest appearances by different creative teams" isn't unique only to her. Chulk has the same problem where his personality gets reduced to "dumb jock" in every book outside of his main one.

>>94364278
>When she debuted, I was told she's suppose to be the smartest
The whole "she's the smartest there is" didn't happen until issue like 12 of her book.

>>94362938

No and no.

I maintain the greatest way to flip this would be to make it is a puzzle box with no answer. An item to remind Banner or anyone who uses it that they do not hold all the answers, they are not perfect and can never answer every question. Imagine how much of a kick that would be to her ego, her entire claim resting on something that existed to keep the 'smart people' from getting over inflated egos.

Moon-Boy is still alive. Devil Dinosaur just got teleported to present day. Solicits have already revealed that the current arc ends with Moon-Girl traveling back in time and Devil Dinosaur staying behind so he can be with Moon-Boy.

That's why the Legacy arc is replacing DD with Ben and Johnny.

>I like Ewing, but how come his books never seem to get popular
because, let's face it, he's not really good. he might have lore, but he is incapable of writing something, that would be exciting.

it's just that you have vocal minority on /co/ who promotes him / shill him for free. and they like him, because ewing is pandering to them with the continuity wank.

>>94364411
>Every crossover I see of her seems hellbent on throwing any of that out the window for "world's smartest person is a little black girl what you got a problem with that?"
I think this is a big problem inherent with having characters get passed around between several different writers, maybe one of which understand the character and writes them well, whereas the rest have a surface-level understanding (or no understanding at all so they just make shit up) and write them like a caricature. It's stupidly inconsistent.

A lot of the black characters in Marvel now feel a lot like that one black guy from Mass Effect 2 that has nothing interesting about him, his gimmick is being black without acting stereotypical black, and the writers have gone on record saying, to paraphrase, "Since this character is black we didn't feel comfortable giving him any flaws because that'd be offensive"

>>94375117

She also modified a cerebro into a device to track a single person against the past, present, and all alternate futures.

This, in turn, accidentally created a time machine.

In addition, she created several weapons out of household objects like soda and a bubble gun.

Moon Girls entire arc has been rewalizing that her smarts doesn't mean much if she can't have friends.

The entire book has been using DD so she finally has something she cares about other than herself.

Something she finally loves so much that she's willing to let it go so it can be happy.

>>94375020

this is just..... fucking stupid.

They're foreshadowing pretty hard that Lunella is on the path to becoming a super-villain, and while I assume they're going to subvert that in the end or it's just a bunch of red herrings, it's a fun ride watching her slow descent to villainy.

>>94363891
Canonically, that's a failed, deranged genetic clone made by SHIELD.

I'd like to remind everyone that X-men legacy sold like shit and it's praised on this board.

>>94378861
So did almost every book praised on this board. Good comics don't sell because the people that like good comics generally don't bother with capeshit.

The Vision, Omega Men and Sheriff of Babylon sold like hot trash. Batman is consistently top of the charts. The former comics are 10/10 modern masterpieces. The latter is King giving up on making good comics and deciding he'd rather be the new Bendis and put 0 effort into anything he writes while coasting off of the fact that A-listers will sell regardless of quality.

The Flower and The Nose. If these anons are still here.

>A "nose" is the expert whose fine sense of smell and skills in smell composition brings forth the creation of perfumes.

Lani's nose did not come with just the ability but with a physical disability as well: the size.
It was forced on her, as a child, by the curse of a flower that only bloomed once every thirty years.

Growing up with a huge nose did not prove to be easy but, eventually, Lani managed to turn the disadvantage to her advantage and created a perfume industry whose perfumes and essences were number one in the world.

Nevertheless power and success did not take away loneliness and that lingering feeling that something really important had gone missing.

After thirty years it was time for the flower to bloom again.
The flower she hated so much, the flower she wanted to cut down... that's when strange things begun to happen and a mysterious man appeared in her life with the firm intention of changing her ways for ever!

Thus begins the struggle between the Flower and the Nose!
