Are women ruining comics?
Are women ruining comics?
yes?
silly question OP
Harley works best as a groupie for a serial killer-that's what she is. Whatever the hell DC is turning her in to now is an abject disaster.
Considering that was written by a man, no.
I think if Tumblr and Twitter didnt say anything about Harely and SJWs were more quiet but this new characterization still happened you guys wouldn't bitch about about Harely as much.
Yes.
We should kill them all.
The planet would be better off.
Climate change solved.
Economy improves - less pollution, more food.
Everybody wins.
Also no one can call me a faggot any more because we'd all be faggots
but user this was written by a man. so yes, men are ruining comics.
I really hate how hard Harley is pushed these days.
can you think of another female character that young women obsess over?
my freinds GF has a fucking collection and he even agrees its cringe
No, but incels are ruining comic book discourse.
I literally stood up and clapped
Yes, but only because men let them.
No. You're confusing all woman with trend chasing.
Do you and your friend say “cringe” out loud to each other?
I bet you do
No, They already did
Except we would. Now fuck right off.
No you would say it's bad once and then forget about it. But because someone whose politics you don't agree on likes it you feel compelled to talk about how much you hate it whenever you can
nah were english, we usually "fucking dire" or "bent as fuck" or "just sad"
dont make bets when you dont know the odds user
Uh, what is wrong with this page?
If you look very, VERY closely, you can see OP sucking about 45 cocks
in the corner of the bottom panel.
>Considering that was written by a man, no.
based and red pilled
They've always been around. They do great shit too.
Gender politics are not well applied to the comic book industry, but that's almost a universal malady.
My sister used to like her when we watched batman animated series or older stuff but she kinda hates her now, especially after the suicide squad. She says they are trying way too hard.
Nope. Others would no doubt, but you seem to forget that Yea Forums isn't one person. I think it's shitty writing and I think Harley is a shitty character.
Nah. For all the things wrong with this page, this is an appeal to fans of the Harley Quinn of the DCEU/Suicide Squad movie and as posted before, this was written by a guy. Comics are victims of the movie’s successes because, let’s face it, comics were sucking beforehand as well and can’t survive independently with manga trying to make inroads into the states over 2 ip farms and an indie scene that just lost their big book.
Why do you think we won't? At the bottom of it all this characterization of Harley is dumb and cringey. She's supposed to be someone with Stockholm syndrome and Florence Nightingale syndrome and if she's not obsessing over Joker, why is this bitch even pursuing the clown persona also her being portrayed as morally grey to a hero in more modern comics is dumb since she's a serial killer psycho bitch
No because capes weren’t good in the first place.
"Shitting on Harley Quinn" is the easiest way for a newfag to feel embraced by this board.
So every week, newfags will take a page in which Harley Quinn appears and shit on it. It works every time.
It works every time because Harley is a shit character that is pushed so hard there's a new shit page fairly regularly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Harley Quinn is the worst character ever written and Doctor Doom is the best character in all fiction, I know the drill, amigo.
>shitting on Harley Quinn is soooo not in vogue. Trust me. I’m an oldfag.
So basically everyone but you tumblr tourists agrees that this sucks.
>"Wow, I can make internet friends by shitting on a popular character in an image board! My life is so much better now!"
I like Harley but I refuse to ignore bad writing
Just SJWs in general, really.
No, Harley Quinn is an incredibly shit character and Doom is regularly a shit character. Is the drill your nickname for the enormous rod stuck up your arse?
So you cant criticize not liking a character? What a fag.
OP here, I don't actually read comics but I come here every Wednesday to skim through story times to look for shit to /pol/ post about and the bait always gets taken. I'll see you guys next week
Not really. It's SJW in general regardless of their gender.
No
It's because somehow modern concept of 'Good female character' is 'Reckless, all-powerful bitch beating male characters'.
If godzilla was female, it would've been praised as great feminist allegory.
So you like Harley but also hate Harley for all but the first three years or so of her existence?
Companies milking IP's and comic writrers wanting to make scripts for TV are. Is incredible how the japanese Light Novel industry is similar to the two big of the US
Oh it's just the Doomfag. Everyone ignore.
You do what the fuck you want, dude. If getting outraged at inofensive comic books just because Harley Quinn is on it is the way you want to live your life because that makes you internet friends, you have my blessing.
ya because I hate her newer outfit
>Okay. What is so bad about it?
just don't like it
But what is so bad about it? What makes it shit-writing?
Name some comic books you like so I can see what you think is "good writing".
now this is great writing
>What makes it shit-writing?
Not him but that's a evil child murdering psychopath that's supposed to be a protagonist because Margot Robbie wore booty shorts in a trailer.
You think people are actually outraged by it? No one is, we're just venting our frustrations on how quality of comics have spiral. Also the characterization of Harley ever since she went "independent" has always been kinda bad anyway
So you were bitching about Doom on both threads? Pity the other got removed, it really showed how much of a butthurt autistic faggot you are kek
They like her partially because of her relation with the bad guy joker.
Trying to separate them is like separating the reason she got popular.
Doomfag fuck off.
Why are they mutually exclusive. Can't we say they're both bad mr numbnuts?
>whataboutism
It's not even partially. The only time she was a good character was when she was with the Joker. She has yet to have a good appearance in anything away from him or opposing him.
You were the one saying that Doom being treated as a hero is different because he is the best-written character you have ever read, right?
Do you read often?
>no one cares about his retarded threads so he has to hide in the other ones in order to not be ignored
Oh poor Tommy, having Doom in his head rent free forever :(
This. Idk why people like her desu. Is it cause she's female deadpool but even then her solo book has been eh also doesn't help her character is getting a power creep through out the years
lol you are fucking sad, i would call you a retard but it is pretty clear that you really have mental issues and i don't want to add to that.
except DCEU fans don't give a shit about Harley, we want Superman movie starring Henry Cavill, and better of us want Snyder Cut of Justice League to be release and best of us also want original Ayer cut of Suicide Squad to be release, and Harley doesn't correlate with it either because we want Steppenwolf and more of El Diablo scenes that were cut.
>Snyder Cut of Justice League to be release
I do wish WB released Snyder cut. I mean it won't be that greatest movie ever but it'd be better than what Whedon ejaculated
Considering that a woman wrote the most based japanese comic of all time, full metal alchemist, I'll said, no.
Full Metal Alchemist fucking sucks.
modern liberal women definitely are
you're thinking of Dorohedoro
this
women can make good stuff but feminists can't
t. retard
Enjoy your generic shonen shit.
If they're a hardcore feminist and anti-Conservative, odds are they're not going to leave their politics at the door and will espouse their views as not only right, but the only option, and have their issues validate their beliefs, with the characters just happening to agree with them. I couldn't even finish the latest 2099 Spider-man miniseries because all the anti-trump, pro-control, pro-Muslim, pro-statist propaganda was too much for me.
Here, I'll get them started.
Here is the first page.
CRYPTIC METAPHOR
I remember reading this like 10 years ago when I was still in high school and completely forgot it existed.
Thanks, user!
Comic book writers nowadays don't understand nuance or subtlety and just put dumb shit in their comics in the hopes that some dipshit on twitter and say "THIS IS EVERYTHING." Compare this with "The Anatomy Lesson" from Swamp Thing. A straight up fucking masterpiece by Moore and Bissette.
Do you think you are talking to a bunch of manenists or something mate?
Stop skintight everyone who has a problem with how comics have been run lately is some form of ist you can attack.
>Considering that a woman wrote the most based japanese comic of all time, Maison Ikkoku, I'll said, no.
ftfy
Yes naturally ruin most things
>Considering that a woman wrote the most based japanese comic
Araki is a woman?
Welcome to media for any real leftist or US enemy in the world.
Japanese manga authors are usually better than American ones to the point where women in Japan usually make more compelling stuff than the people the big 2 try to push (bendis hahahaha). It’s like America’s relationship with soccer, but even more pathetic.
I think I know what you're trying to say here but your message is clouded by the fact that the women USA team is about to win the world cup.
Threadly reminder that mangas sell way less than American comics in the US.
That’s honestly a surprise considering the weaboo community
But ya most women in my opinion are not very good comic writers especially when they are some radical leftist femi-nazi
"I know what you think better than you do"
-t. Retard
But then humanity would die off since we technically need women to mate and have our babies.
The slow extinction of humanity would be short, but you'll all feel it in a matter of time.
Eh, who cares, species go extinct every now and then
If that's true, you should shoot yourself for spending your time that way.
my point is don't blame moves of delusional execs on DCEU fans
I don't think even normies like current Harley so much
Oh right that is happening. It would be fun to see a match between the men’s and women’s teams just to see if the men’s team is THAT bad.
My point was that America just doesn’t care for the medium anymore, mainly because its been treated like shit for decades and that treatment resulted in it playing THIRD fiddle to Europe and Japan. DC and Marvel are making boatloads of cash, but it’s from nearly every other venture that isn’t comic books. Fuck they might as well not even exist in the international scene.
The women's team lost to the U15 team something like 7-1.
Similarly the Brazilian women's team lost to a British amateur pub team.
No matter how terrible the US men's soccer team is they would absolutely destroy the women's team.
No. The fact that it is easier than ever to get into tv and novels has lead to a dwindling talent pool as well as a dropping interest in the medium severely limiting the markets growth has ruined comics.
The US men's team isn't even that bad, they routinely make the bracket which would put them in the 99th percentile of world nations
Considering their population and ressources, it's the least they could do.
Also no, 32 teams qualify, there are about 290 countries, so making the bracket means a little lower than 90th percentile, not 99th.
Yep. This wasn't the case in the 2000s but today US comics sell the best here. I think if we could somehow get piracy numbers though manga would be 10x more popular than US comics although American comics have only been easily available to pirate the way manga is for a couple years now.
They exist and have good sales but the consumers are mostly old men, the problem are not actual sales but the trend of worse sales almost every year. Marvel has the advantage of making movies and series but DC has just Bataman. Superman is in king Arthur, Robin Hood tier; everybody knows the character and the basics of his story but nobody give a fuck about his reimaginations and reboots.
WHY WOULD YOU PAY FOR COMICS
WHEN YOU CAN GET BETTER COMICS, ONLINE, ON YOUR PHONE, FOR FREE?
Yes.
