Oh God, what is this?

>>94431765
Of course they don't.
That's chump change.
They just spoonfeed a wikipedia article as means for advertising the next movie or tv show.

>>94431765
Their entire audience right now is tumblr snowflakes getting wet for Loki and shipping captain america and iron man. Their main demographic is SJW's who will read a blurb on a character and go see their movies, not someone who will buy their comics.

No it's made for people who already don't read comics.

>Normie watches "Comic thing EXPLAINED" video
>"Haha I'm so nerdy! I know everything about comics!"

I want this world to end.

May as well. If they don't get the ad revenue from it then someone else will.

I think the idea is that there are a lot of people who are overwhelmed by the idea that there are decades of history for Marvel and DC capeshit and that's why they don't even bother to start reading. So if you can get them over that initial roadblock by summarizing the main points, they're more likely to start buying.

Whether or not that works, who knows.

HOLY LIVING FUCK DID YOU ACTUALLY JUST POST THAT YOU CUNT.

STEVE AND BUCKY? STEVE AND MOTHERFUCKING BUCKY? AND YOU CALL *OTHER* PEOPLE PLEBS?

NIGGA, STEVE AND BUCKY ISN'T EVEN THE BOTTOM FLOOR SHIP. IT ISN'T EVEN THE BASEMENT SHIP. IT'S THE "THERE WAS AN EARTHQUAKE AND THE BUILDING WAS DESTROYED AND THROUGH LONG GLACIAL YEARS OF GEOLOGICAL PROCESS IT IS NOW UNDER THE SEA" SHIP.

THE WORST. THE ABSOLUTE FUCKING WORST.

DO NOT PRETEND THERE IS ANY REFINEMENT TO YOU. DO NOT PRETEND YOU HAVE CLASS. YOU ARE NOT A PLEB, YOU ARE A BEGGAR WHO WILL BEG FOR CRUMBS FOR PLEBS.

STEVE AND BUCKY, I SWEAR TO GOD. EVERY SHIP IS BETTER THAN THAT.

This isn't even that funny and most of the time it fucks up the summary of a story just for a joke.

>>94431765
The creator of that series was "hired" by marvel to put them out after they shutdown his personal YouTube series
So basically marvel scooping up content for the lowest common denominator
I'm sure that fanseries X-Men danger room protocol could have gotten a deal if not for X-Men

>>94434968
Most "EXPLAINED" usually entail someone just summarizing event of a arc/event.

I think it's fair to call yourself a Batman fan even if you don't read Batman seeing as how Batman is a prominent part of any medium. That and Snyder's run was garbage full of shock gore.
Kate Leth is still a shitter though.

Stucky is the most pleb ship, no one gave a fuck about it until Winter Soldier and only necause of the dumb uwu woobie Bucky crap.

Bucky in the MCU is pretty much a boring piece of wet cardboard in terms of personality and with shitty angst. At least Brubaker gave Winter Soldier a personality by letting him retain Bucky's smartass and cocky little shit personality and he kept the wangst to a minimum.

Comicfags are kind of patethic considering that comics are Batman's least profitable and important product and piece of media. They only exist to keep the rights of the character and o test stories for cartoons and movies.

>>94431765
The people who watch (or read? I'm not actually sure what this is, but I have an educated guess) this weren't going to read the comics anyways and seek out equivalent videos/articles from other sources. Marvel probably figures that if they're going to do it anyways, they might as well do it through official channels that way Marvel can at least get some ad revenue or something out of it.

Though I'd say at this point cartoons are less important, if only because how they're treated.

This is just further proof of how out-of-touch Marvel is right now though. To provide literal cliff notes for comics and using the meme "tl;dr" which typically implies words that aren't important enough to bother reading.

They aren't going to get new readers with these videos. They will in fact push more people away.

WAAH MODS!

>>94431872
This.

Videos "explaining" comics are really popular, more popular than any kind of actual comics criticism, so Marvel's actually pretty smart for not leaving money on the table and doing their own version.

It's also no different from the rise of Let's Plays.

>>94432027
The only thing worse is people who get all their knowledge from cartoons, meme images/out of context panels posted on /co/ and /v/, and Wikipedia and think this makes them superior to the normies.

>>94435390
True, but in this case Leth refuses to read Batman comics and still makes sweeping judgments about them.

Leth and Bendis are the only creators I actively hate as human beings rather than just hating their work.

some of my buddies use stuff like this as a means to get a recap and to find a good jumping on point for a book/character that interests them.

one of them got into superman, green arrow & aquaman through it. so i do think it works to some degree.

i figured she was a fan of BTAS and the burton/schumacher films. if her thoughts on harley quinn's modern designs & her batman 89 pitch are anything to go by.

in the context of the strip that quote is from it sounds more like when she did decide to give the comics a chance she was turned off to them because they weren't like the batman she "grew up" with.

she's still a horrible person and nothing short of self realization on her part is gonna fix that.

>>94431765
Marvel hates comic fans.

Nothing is funnier than talentless Marvel Comics hacks gushing about the success of the movies, which only usher them further into deeper irrelevance. It was so bad about 2 years ago before the movies were ostensibly separated from the comics company. Those fat fucks, who really had nothing to do with the movies, were such smug little fuckers and could barely hid their disdain for uncool comics-reading nerds.

Now that the comics and movies departments are separate, their has been a little bit of a move to reach comics fans more.

That's the comic sub mod. They have IRL comicbook guy as a mod. I'm laughing for real. I mean I imagine our mods aren't better, but jesus it's like comicbook guy decided that he needed to gain weight.

>>94445393
How about them being comic fans themselves?
