Difficult to say. Greentext stories go back to way before 4chan had a consistent archival system. I'm not sure, but I think greentext as a medium even precedes 4chan.

It's not complex at all but it's one hundred times better than most other tv-shows so plebs hail it as a masterpiece.

The reality is of course that it can't compete with high quality films or literature.

the large ensemble cast with new characters every season (and the show charactarises and develops these characters despite the sheer amount of them), the way it plays like a realist novel, the tragic deaths which characters bring on themselves, the way theres no good vs bad guys, theres good and bad guys on both sides, the wide array of social topics it covers, every character is in some way fucked, either by the police buerocracy, or by the completely ruthless streets of baltimore. later seasons also cover politics, the school system and journalists, and there's never an easy answer.

id say its pretty good.

They're idiots who don't read but want to pretend they do.

It's good and definitely one of the smarter shows out there, a little something for the intellectual crowd. But anyone who compares it to a book is some moron who doesn't understand why it's so good to begin with.

I like FLCL too!

FLCL just really works for me on the level of allegory. It has a kind of imagistic density

Is this necessary

Stephen King is truly the H.P. Lovecraft of our time

>>7840291
Don't forget racism he was good at that too. Really top notch desu.

>>7840291

Much the same could be said for Stephen King
I think there's something about horror that calls for having cool set-ups that go crazy but that's incompatible with good (non-cheap etc.) endings.

>>7840212

What's with /lit/'s enthusiasm for the Bible? It's really not that good.

If you can't think of anything to write about, why do fuck do you even want to write?

So we all agree this is Pynchon, right?

In terms of April celebrations and commemorations, April Fools' Day is eclipsed (in the US and other countries as applicable) by Arbor Day. During Puritan times, Arbor Day was a rather somber affair bearing little resemblance, beyond the dendroidal namesake, to today's observance. The emphasis back then was firmly on the sylvan sacrifice that made much of education and discretionary reading possible. Subsequently, a shift toward celebration of pulpy life took place as symbolized chiefly by the practice of replanting.

The Magic Mountain is good for that. Most bildungsroman is similar.
