Even though he lost all his friends at the end, everything he said was 100% factually correct.
They hated him because he spoke the truth and was also kind of a dick, but truth > feels anyways
Xavier Cooper
I bet he could had stayed friends with Josh if he had sold him the head of the Bobba Fet figure.
Dominic Ross
Are you storytiming or what? We can never have too much Eltingville
Ayden Wilson
Part of why Bill is so monstrous is that there's a certain amount of truth to the insane vitriol he spews. He's marginally more intelligent and observational than his friends, but he uses that intelligence for evil. Everything he says is filtered through the lens of his ego, misanthropy, and delusions, but there are grains of truth to his points about faux-nerd culture. He's all the more uncanny for the ways in which we understand his rhetoric.
Of course, just because that's the case doesn't make automatically vindicate all of his rude, horrible behavior. He's still a loathsome scumbag who takes pleasure in mistreating others.

Not really. He and his irl counterparts are just elitist gate keepers. Eltingville is supposed to lampoon the worst of the worst aspects of supernerd culture. It’s sad if you unironically agree with him.
Hudson Martin
>Just high on comics, y'know?
>Huh. Yeah I remember that.
I miss my optimistic view of comics as well.
Oliver Johnson
Maybe, Anime Club is more like a story of "friends" going through some tough times for their hobby's sake
Eltingville Club is more of a parody and a critique to the awful people you can encounter in the geek fandom
Asher Young
Have you ever considered that a gate needs keeping?
Hudson Scott
A Yea Forums post comes to mind. I used to have a screenshot of it, but lost it during a formatting incident. It went something like:
>Remember when comics used to be fun and entertain people?
>I sure as hell fucking don't.
Very few comics elicit the joy we all once felt at what we thought was an awesome comics. Whether because our tastes changed or because comics became shittier, or both, a majority of everything seems shit. The last good comic I read was a French one: Stern by the Maffres. Really good, if you can find a translation.

Is Jerry the only good member of the Eltingville Club? I mean, obviously the most toxic one is Bill, but Pete and Josh have their own shitty behaviors as well. Jerry seems to stick around mostly due to a loyalty to the club and nostalgia for the fun they had as kids. After the breakup he's arguably the one to have the most stability in his life.
Lincoln Brown
I wonder what those meds were. I always assumed they were barbiturates or powerful amphetamines, seeing as that and the sleep deprivation makes them become psychotic. It's like what happens to meth addicts who get spun and stay up for days and days at a night time.

Lucas Hill
I'll bet anything Jerry is Evan Dorkin's avatar in the comic, because Evan did say he came to a realization how dumb the fandom is during a con. People kept asking John Buscema questions about Avengers lore and continuity when he didn't know or care about it. He even stated as much outright in a very direct fashion, and added how he'd much rather discuss Conan because he liked that title. But then everyone just kept asking questions about the Avengers.

I’ve heard that bill and josh were supposed to be two counterparts to himself, and that he put a little element of himself into every member of the club. Same thing with NWCC.

Hey man, I never said I was endorsing the full scope of what Bill said. I just said there are a few points among his insane ranting that have validity. It's no different from how political extremists will occasionally make reasonable points. A broken clock and all that, you know what I mean?
Kayden Scott
This page always made me think that the behavior the Eltingville club members was something they'd got from their parents. I mean, trash parents raise trash kids after all.

Zachary Cruz
>those smiles
>that optimism
Poof! Gone! I imagine it all started with good-natured ribbing and classical one-upmanships with who can recite the most nerd trivia. But at some point it became more malicious and about dominance rather than competitiveness. Maybe it was adolescence, when they finally realized that it's all about making sure the other guy is beneath you, otherwise he'll be above you.
I mean, most people will see you thrown under the bus for a can of beans, but even then you can find someone who'll watch your back. But then, to have a person like that in your life, you need to be social.
What a fucking pit of despair, the Eltingville Club. Harry Harlow would be proud.
Connor Price
It's interesting that Joe seems to believe Bill's story here. If Bill had just waited the fight out and not tried to burn the store down, Joe probably would have asked for the fully story, Bill could have lied that he wasn't at fault, and everything would've worked out just fine for him. Bill may be a cunning sociopath, but he's clearly not a high-functioning one because that seems like a pretty simple conclusion to reach.
Samuel Cox
Joe is unreasonable lard ass, bad as any of them. He wouldn't care about any explanation, he'd made up his mind and he would have banished all of them and probably pressed charges
Evan Smith
Yeah, it clearly doesn't come from no where, especially in Bill and Josh's cases. We don't see much of their parents, but it doesn't seem like either of the boys have good home lives. Bill and his mom are constantly screaming at each other and it seems like Josh gets his horrible anxiety problems from his own mom.
Dominic Richardson

I've never really been able to relate to these kind of parodies because they always seemed to have far too active social lives.
I've never really had friends even at this level.
It might be worse not being able to relate.
These comics are obvious parodies not a serious examination of these issues.
There aren't really people like this.
Most nerds are far too shy to do outrageous behaviour like this.
youtube.com
David Wright
No, Ellingtonville existed solely because Dorkin was BFFs with Dan Vado (big time indie comic guy who in the 90s was writing JLI) and Dorkin was pissed off that Vado was being attacked for killing off Ice Women In Refrigerator-stye.
Also, Dorkin was one of those "only indie comics are any good, super-hero comics are for faggots!" type elitists. So nerds (one of which was Gail Simone, who brought Ice back only after the backlash to Countdown to Infinite Crisis created such a shit show over DiDio's treatment of the JLI, that he finally caved and overruled the Vado-friendly editors who wanted Ice to stay dead) rightfully calling out Vado's treatment of Ice.
Aiden Johnson
To be fair, Avengers > Conan
Dylan Allen
>and Dorkin was pissed off that Vado was being attacked for killing off Ice Women In Refrigerator-stye.
Vado didn't kill Ice though, Mark Waid did during his JLA run.
Cameron Lee
Vado basically wrote Judgement Day and Mark Waid/Gerald Jones basically were glorified scriptors, writing dialogue for plots forced upon them by Vado.
Waid has repeatedly stated that Vado refused to budge on sparing Ice. Waid pretty much left JLTF (the book he wrote, not JLA) after the storyline and has disowned the issue Ice died in, the same way he disowned First Sign (the Avengers X-Over that happened during his Cap run) as far being forced upon him by editorial.
Jayden Brown
>mfw reading about the pit of despair
Lucas Campbell
The part about the guys stealing action figures is based on Dorkin himself in a way, if you've read that story where he stole a soda only to find it had ants in it, he ends it with mentioning that next time he'll talk about the time when he was a kid and shoplifted Star Wars figures.
Grayson Miller
IIRC he flat out admitted he ripped off Eltingville.
Bill is really a classic case of a mediocre person longing for power and respect. Josh is set up as the real asshole of the series early on, because he's quick to anger and portrayed as selfish, but it's of course Bill who is revealed as the big bad, starting when he uses his trick die on the others, down to when he dissolves the club because he got a job at the comic shop. Pete acts like a dick, but isn't really much of one outside his opinions. Jerry is just along for the ride mostly. Josh is mostly just dimwitted.
You have to remember that Bill is the only member of the group who didn't make anything out of himself. Jerry's a rising MtG player, Pete got to join one of his horror porn producers, and Josh actually managed to get a press pass the hard way. Bill started a business that was just an excuse to read other people's stuff.
Also remember that his rant against Jerry's girlfriend came after he got mad that the others might make him look stupid in front of her, which was after he was flustered that she was there, which was after he made a bunch of lewd comments about her as she walked up. If she had walked up to him and said he was cute, he'd be sucking her toes if she asked. His anger and his supposed truth, accurate as it may or may not be, is not a steadfast belief, but the lashing out of a guy who has mixed his unluckiness in life with a disproportionate amount of selfish, antagonistic, flat out assholian behavior.
And therein lies the warning not to be like Bill, a nerd and a virgin and unable to succeed past controlling three other losers, but also a thief and a misogynist and an asshole who dropped those three losers first chance he got.

Hello tumblr, please keep your special snowflake rhetorics in your echo chamber, they don't belong anywhere else.
With that out of the way, lets get to the main point. Elitism is NOT a bad thing. It helps keeping the amount of retards and ADD riddled faggots that can't be assed to lurk first in check. If you want to see what happens when you don't actively tell retards to fuck off, then just look at pretty much any board here. You used to be able to have some decent discussions on Yea Forums, but it went down the shitter once the floodgates opened and there simply wasn't enough berating oldfags left to keep up with the ever increasing amount of newfags.

>it was adolescence
in the last issue we see that it basically was. Bill aside, the three of them grow up into functional adults who make their passions their careers. They're still weird creeps, but we see that without Bill, they manage to get along and they can even look back on what they did as kids at laugh about what lunatics they were.

>to bring yourself up you need to bring others down
Welcome to the real world, kid. Maybe not at your level yet, but when you start approaching the six-figure mark and need to be hard as tack to compete, yes, you'll consider it, and probably do it. You'll justify it to yourself, because internally, you think you're a good person. But you need to get ahead, so you do it anyway.
But like I said, this happens when you're approaching the top already and need that advantage over others. When you're mediocre, you can afford to not be ruthless.

Julian Smith
That is clearly not what that user said. The friend had anger problems and was acting like an aggressive weirdo towards the rest of the group, so they stopped hanging out with him. Maybe that friend should have acted like an adult instead of being a prick, did you ever consider that you election tourist dipshit? I've had similar experiences with a couple guys I knew in college and they were also unstable weirdos who would make weird, accusatory barbs mid-conversation apropos of nothing.

As mentioned earlier, everyone probably went back to their lives and ComicCon became just another shitty memory.
However, I always interpreted this final page as an implication that Bill has wormed his way back into Josh and Pete's lives, and as such is going to start ruining them more and more. It wouldn't surprise me to see both Josh and Pete lose their jobs over the ComicCon incident, and Bill would be the first person to try and take advantage of them, likely offering them a "job" at his "business" (i.e. make them do all the work while he reaps the rewards).
Carter Sullivan
I agree, but it's more than likely he'll run afoul of the wrong person and get the tar beat out of him for it.
Charles Butler
Worst case scenario is that Jerry's girlfriend breaks up with him, or is badly affected by this incident, leading Jerry to go back to the Club. Josh and Pete get discovered as involved with this incident and also loses their jobs/gets banned. Even worst case scenario is all of that plus getting identified as part of the riot's cause.
Best scenario for Jerry is that the ending sticks, Jerry leaves the Club completely and is still on ok to good terms with his girlfriend.
Best case scenario for Josh and Pete is what said about them going back to their lives, and being able to pin the blame on Bill. But more likely it's what that poster also said about Bill worming his way back into Josh and Pete's lives.
Adrian Brown
This.
Cameron Watson
They killed Steranko didn't they?
Asher Parker
I agree with most of this but to Bill's small credit he didn't like the girl from the start, he only begrudgingly said something about her after Pete and Josh wouldn't shut the fuck up about it. So, it was a pretty steadfast belief.
Aaron Gonzalez
Yeah but that was after the shock of finding out she was Jerry's girl and now finding out that she was staying i.e. invading the club. He was very into her until that, as the others were.
Samuel Flores
I'm not implying Bill doesn't want to get laid but if he only planned on making a pass at her if she passed by and wouldn't have wanted her in the meeting anyway then his original point still applies.
Brandon Rogers

That's kind of funny because at my local comic shop, the only alt right nerd that shops there, used to be a lunatic left-wing Obama loving faggot (literal faggot; by the way).
He's now a gay Trump supporter, HATES Marvel, and goes on and on about how identity politics have ruined comics and how crap like gay Iceman and America Chavez "is written to give gay people a bad name".
The comic shop owner tolerates him because he spends $300 on toys and trades and floppies a week and is one of his regular "whale" customers who comes in like clockwork on New Comic Day.
Michael Cook
I think you should stop and consider your own biases there. If he had said the guy "got way too heavy in to the tumblr/pronoun warrior shit," would you have batted an eye? Instead he said "stormfront/alt right shit" and you immediately sympathized so hard that you skimmed right over the part about "his anger issues got to the point where he was openly threatening us over trivial shit" and jumped to the unsupported conclusion that they were being unfair to the poor, maligned right-winger.

Partially true, thanks to Diamond/Previews sucking ass and taking months to fulfill a backorder while we all saw them pushing cheap Marvel/DC bullshit just to stay on their distribution list
Kayden Russell
I doubt she would do that. All that happened is that Jerry accidentally ran into an abusive former friend of his and said friend acted incredibly rude to them for no reason. It seems like they genuinely love each other, plus she's clearly sympathetic to his struggles with anxiety, so I imagine they'll move on with their lives and not let the hatred of a petty narcissistic loser like Bill get them down.
Gabriel Adams
>So you shut a friend out over politics, instead of talking to him like a bunch of adults
No, I shut him out because he threatened to kill me because I invited my friends out to see Rogue One (I had a gift card that was expiring soon and there wasn't anything else on), and I couldn't give him his ticket back after I gave his to someone else after telling us he couldn't come because he had work.
A decade of friendship and he decided to end it over a fucking movie ticket from a franchise he openly hated.
Ian Mitchell
It's the principle of it.
Dylan Williams
True, but the opposite has happened; there's no gate keeping at all because to have standards is now synonymous with oppression. It's not like gate keeping prevents people from actually buying the content that they like, it just means that certain groups of people don't care to hear their thoughts on it.
Nicholas Nelson
well then that begs the question, what is the right amount of gate keeping?
Nathaniel Gutierrez
Well sure but on the far side you get people like Bill, who ultimately just a petty, manipulative asshole who enjoys being a petty, manipulative asshole and hiding it behind gatekeeping rhetoric to justify their behavior.
John Russell
Raises the question, not begs.

>Bill lost all his signed shit in the riot
Even if he is a colossal asshole, I do feel kind of bad for him. There are some shreds of decency in him apparent throughout the comic, even if they are few and far between, most notably how he actually felt bad enough to apologize to the group for a second after he blew up in the last issue. Of course he fucked it up by immediately going for the jugular when it seemed like they wouldn't relent, but still.

I've been an elitist about the shit I like since I didn't even knew enough about music or comics to be an elitist, and yet I can very easily help people to get into better bands or books instead of gloating about some piece of Green Lantern minutia whenever I want to show someone I'm better than them.

I like to believe that this, Beavis and Butthead, Duckman and Malcolm in the Middle all share a common universe.

They do and the fact you're trying to deny it when there's people in this very thread both confirming it and affirming it as a good thing is kinda strange.

You're literally doing it right here, too.

I wouldn't put Duckman in there. In that universe people were dicks, but they weren't sadistic about it. And even Duckman, lord emperor dickhole, was fairly likable. He cared about the people in his life (sans Fluffy and Uranus, but fuck those douchebags), loved his deceased wife, and always did right by his family and friends in the end.

Pete would slip on a puddle of blood and cum he was cleaning up. Slamming his head on a cold concrete set. A cousin is the only person who went to his funeral and he was a devote Christian who made sure Jesus was fully represented at his funeral to avow for his sinful interest in horror.
Josh rised up in the comic world and then fell from grace when he earns a reputation for stealing products from each office (especially from other peoples offices). He'd write a book about his childhood adventures that would sell to no one.
Jerry stays a magic the gathering player forever and despite having a hot girlfriend, she would lose interest in him. He ends up realizing at age 54 that he is the oldest guy at a Magic the Gathering tournament and hang himself in his house.
Bill will be the most successful person to proclaim he is the most successful. He will be arrested when he punches a child for proclaiming that Scott Pilgrim is the best comic ever.

It has a specific, defined technical meaning in formal logic, and you're fucking it up. It's a wording that dumbasses use when they want to sound smart, and fail at it.
John Green
I’ve seen this happen so many times in so many groups, and the interlopers (I guess that’s the best term?) have been evenly split between men and women. Women are the worst to deal with though, because even if you get everyone in the group on the same page that member X who happens to be female is some kind of sociopath who wants to run it into the ground for their own amusement, you’re basically powerless to do anything about it unless the group is already majority female. Douchebag guys aren’t really a problem, you can just tell them directly to fuck off with no repercussions.

But that's Bill. He might have cared at some point, but he obviously doesn't anymore. It's all about him being important.
Lincoln Morgan
What I gotta know is, what does Dorkin think of that? Because I get the impression that Dorkin thinks Bill is completely in the wrong.

Dorkin would probably just write off anybody's support of Bill's view (no matter how minor) as the ravings of an inbred incel who is Bill Dickey IRL.

If so, he's right. It's like this user says: >that's Bill. He might have cared at some point, but he obviously doesn't anymore. It's all about him being important.
Leo Richardson
Bill actually liked being part of the club though. If anything, he was the guy that liked the club the most (at least on par with Jerry), which is ironic on a grand scale considering how his ego trip turned out for them, but he's the only guy in the epilogue besides Jerry that actually seems to care at least a little about it. There's also the fact that they were probably the only three friends he ever had. Bill's a colossal piece of shit, but probably the only positive quality he had by the end besides some degree of self-awareness was a marginal amount of respect for his club members.

Dan DiDio and Jim Lee ushered in the New 52 era which was edgier than the previous DC incarnation. Then came Geoff Johns with Rebirth to make things fun and hopeful again. When Geoff Johns left to fix Zack Snyder's mistakes, DiDio and Lee went back to their same old stupid ideas. Case in point: Heroes in Crisis.
Sebastian Gutierrez
Rebirth was only ever a smokescreen to trick you in to buying DC Comics again and the fact that you buy in to this messiah complex with Geoff Johns only proves you fell for it hook, line and sinker.

Dorkin's made it very clear through his other works that he despises entitled, self-important jackasses and slimy, slithering jerks who try to place themselves above others in equal measure.
Bill works as a character because there's a sliver of truth in there, enough for a person to convince themselves of it.
Samuel James
That's a few. It was still an upswing from where things were.

Liam Cooper
Claiming Dorkin just disses big two capeshit and mainstream attitudes is a big understatement. Dude's a smug dick all around.
We are talking about a dude who goes to a rap concert when complains about the ongoers and accuses them of being obsessed posers who will never be black. He made his entire career dissing social circles he doesn't like while happily committing his own. He really has no right to talk about people being vitriolic.
Carson Cox

Dominic Mitchell
And then we could say the same about you. What he says on the Eltingville comics is right, and he has admitted that he has been like that too, and you can tell it from the writing that he's not simply judging from the outside. The fact that you can't handle any sort of self criticism doesn't mean he's wrong.

Pretty much Dorkin irl. His entire zine period was spent going to indie cliques and shit talking them as if his own clique was better. less moral lessons on how to not be a dick and more not having the balls to tell it to their faces.
>and he has admitted that he has been like that too

Not that great, the trivia bit went for too long and there was some other issues here and there. It was ok for a pilot though, that kinda thing usually gets sorted out when you get more writers to develop the show and such.

Those reunions are always a bad idea, and the fact that he had to be coy to get Bill to meet with the other guys tells you that he kinda saw it coming. And even after it was obvious everyone was still the same, he kept trying to make it happen. Again, it doesn't excuse any of the other guys, but he's a participant and an enabler as well. He's obviously the one you should be sympathethic for but I think Dorkin tries to show that he's part of the problem as well.

Based, I always liked this monologue. My favorite aspect of Bill is how he's actually a pretty good villain when he puts his mind to it, even if it barely lasts.

I wish Bill actually died by getting stomped by hordes of nerds, it would've been poetric justice or some shit

They were credited as The Goblins in some movies, like Dawn of the Dead.

It's kind of funny but I never got this.
I never got deep into any of this and I still turned out a hopeless loser.

>people think bill has a point
Bill ends up the biggest loser of the group, a bitter hateful asshole who will never get laid and never be happy. He lives with his mom and goes on sexist rants all the time. In fact the rant in your image is so bad, that Pete,the guy who thinks of women as "little more than receptacles" is disgusted by it. You're supposed to hate Bill and despise him.
In what world do you think Dorkin meant for you to agree with him. The whole last issue is basically calling out people who think women only cosplay for attention or some bullshit and aren't real fans.

I always liked how Jerry turns into a good dude. He's a huge nerd, but he got away from his toxic friends, cleaned himself up and now has the best of both worlds. He has fun and a career from his hobby, a cute girlfriend.
The last pages of the comic with everyone sitting in the ecto-1 and Jerry just going "fuck this" and leaves is a perfect way of ending the run.

>Guys in the last panel actually look like the Eltingville kids.
Is it just a reference or did Dorkin actually draw this?

>Missing the point.
Everything he's saying is reprehensible, but it all starts from an understandable, basic human emotion. That's what makes a good villain.

Interesting! I still need to watch the Italian cut of Dawn of the Dead sometime.
Gavin Baker
The poster I was quoting said that Bill had a point about faux-nerd culture, but everything in the book points to Dorkin saying that the guys are completely full of shit on the whole fake geek girl thing.
Isaiah Perry
Dorkin I think wrote it
Anthony Bailey
Grains of truth, user. Grains.
Like, on the most basic level, yes, there are people who exist just to push themselves up socially instead of enjoy a hobby. This much is correct. Because, as said earlier in the thread, Bill IS that person.

It has Happy!
Also it comes with the travel channel in my country
Juan Walker
Damn, yeah.

Someone being a piece of shit doesn't make them unable to be right on anything

My screenshot is from the US cut btw. Never watched the Italian cut either because I love that movie so much that whenever I think about doing that, I just end up watching the theatrical cut again.
(And here's another example, from Buio Omega)

And the last one, from my shitty Deep Red DVD (and it's the same on my VHS)

Where can I find a pdf of the book online?
