Good evening owls,
MORE
JSA Storytime: Gen13
Nolan Taylor
Bentley Brown
Passed out last night, sorry
Isaac Torres
Colton Harris
Hello, Storyteller.
So... The Avengers game. That sure was some generic ass gameplay that looks like every other AAA live service.
That said, is it weird that Natasha's segment was by far the most fun looking? Kinda wish they'd just make a standalone Black Widow game.
Workload got to you? Understandable.
Caleb Nelson
I got out and did some shit, bought another pair of work shoes, and then just passed out
Aiden Sullivan
I wish they'd all gotten standalone games. They should've kept Avengers for later. They don't even have to be one big narrative, I just wanted me an Brubaker Cap MGS game and an Ewing based "Choose your Hulk playstyle" game.
I still pray we'll get H4h by Platinum one day.
Oh and a Katamari Damacy Ant-Man game
Easton Sullivan
R. Kelly references are SO MUCH MORE FRAUGHT NOW THAN THEY USED TO BE
lol
Zachary Powell
That IM FIGHTIN FOR MY FUCKIN LIFE meme died way too fast
Charles Sanders
I did not expect the Bill Clinton sex joke in here either
Cooper Lopez
HI CRANKY
Jack Mitchell
This series is so weeby in the best ways
Carter Perry
Adrian Johnson
this is the best book storytimed on here today (besides Parkerbolts)
Adam Wright
Hulk was probably the most disappointing, cause it just looked like slow Ultimate Destruction. I'd really much rather have Ultimate Destruction 2, to be honest.
And again, Nat could easily support a solid stealth action title. She's kinda agile TPS moving, has a grappling hook, a cloaking device, shock gauntlets... probably a few more gadgets as well. Wouldn't be surprised to see the dart gun bracelets at some point.
Owen Cook
I remember buying this shit when it came out. I think I still have my copies, actually. Adam Warren did some fun weeb comics. His Dirty Pair stuff was good too.
Christian Green
Jimmy Olsen was pretty alright
Jaxson Diaz
Superman Year One is some solid stuff too
Julian Reed
just pretty alright
Camden Long
someone's running Parkerbolts??? Good taste, my owls
Superman totally fucked a mermaid and that's great
Josiah Ramirez
Gavin Davis
>jimmy cuckson by fagitron
>alright
No
William Howard
And people giving Superman shit for dating around in his teens/twenties, for real.
Liam Gutierrez
I really love the anime style teeth in this
Elijah Garcia
also, dangerously furry OR stupid sexy catgirl?
Alexander Lee
I'm the owl who's been reading the post-superman chronology stuff.
I have to say, it was pretty unbelievable of Byrne to make us believe that Clark went through all of college dating Lori, and he NEVER got a look at her legs.
James Phillips
HI STORYTELLER!
>finds the will to fly after people start calling her fat
Not really sure this counts as empowering, but okay.
Speaking of female empowerment, am I alone in finding it kind of off putting that female characters who are brash, crass, or grouchy are instantly hated. Not just by the usual "ew cooties" crowd, but by feminist leaning folks as well?
Yes, it IS a cliche that a strong female character acts like a jackass, but I can't help but notice that only women ever get shit for having abrasive personalities. Dudes are praised for it. It just kind of reeks a little too much of "you should smile more" for my taste.
Sebastian Mitchell
Yeah, even conscious of it it's still a total double standard. Which is part of why I actually like DAI's Vivienne so much, also because I like writers who are confident and strong enough to write characters they KNOW half the fanbase will hate with a passion.
Dominic Wilson
Caitlin is never NOT sexy.
Liam Gray
actual blade runner shoutout
belated F for the amazing Rutger Hauer
Nathaniel Evans
I'm fucking dying at the actual panty shot here
Caitlin is legitimately top-tier waifu material, I totally see her character appeal
Oliver Carter
both
Cameron Sanchez
Gen13 would be more popular than Teen Titans if it got a quarter of the promotion
Luke Brooks
SO what was good today
who wants to spoil HOXPOX from the start for me because I'm fucking lazy?
Wyatt Garcia
I do not disagree with this comment at all
Jose Ward
It is absolutely a double standard, and a potentially dangerous one. By stigmatizing abrasive characters, you limit diversity of storytelling. I very much get the nerd for positive female role models, but it is equally important to show female characters being, above all, people. If abrasive women weren't ever allowed, we'd never have Kate Spencer, and the world would be poorer for it.
We also wouldn't have Lina Inverse, and a world without Slayers is a world I don't want to live in.
Jacob Richardson
Waid's autism encyclopedia is fun
Jack Sanchez
Superman dates Lori took me to I'm on a Boat and you know: Dick in a box is still some funny shit, especially if you happen to remember Color Me Badd as well as I do
Chase Smith
Miller's Supercomfy
Thomas Howard
Oh shit, this means it's definitely "trashy 80s nostalgia via youtube" time:
OFFICIAL VIDEO:
Luke Hernandez
>tfw just waking up in the morning and watching evidence that the world is insane and magical
What a scene
Daniel Johnson
>this thing sucks, it reads like a history book
>it's literally called "a history" dumbass
Andrew Williams
?????
Isaac Lopez
...I have more feelings about this than I really can express, but that's totally a misuse of both dead French dudes AND totally understandable at the same time.
Josiah Sanchez
I didn't insult it? I appreciate and enjoy it
Nathan Russell
It's "Fagtion." If you're going to meme do it right. "Fagitron" sounds like a fake Transformer.
Liam Powell
David Bennett
History of Marvel Universe is way btter than I thought itd be
Brody Richardson
AHhhhhh.
Bentley Ortiz
Possibly, yeah. The advantage Gen13 has over Titans, and a lot of series really, is consistency. Titans can be vey hit and miss, and also has too much status quo changing nonsense happening all the time. Gen13, while it does have its shakeups, manages to keep things at about the same tone and quality throughout, even across creative teams.
We can see how important this factor is in the MCU. Say what you will, those films manage to be consistent across nearly all titles, and that is vital to keeping a large audience comfortably engaged in your franchise.
Lucas Nguyen
LOL
Blake Harris
Wyatt Rodriguez
Noah Powell
You seen that Disney streaming service twitter thing and how people were eating it up? Blade Runner should've put a giant fucking Mickey Mouse face up there instead of a smoking geisha because Disney sure is leading us straight to a cyberpunk future and people sure are willingly going for it.
Jordan Jones
There was a dumbass in the storytime thread
Jordan Allen
I, for one, am amused at Sony maybe successfully exploiting Disney, because I have no emotional stake in any of it whatsoever
Isaac Morales
I like them in b&w
Joshua Gomez
>odds are, no one will notice
Anthony Garcia
Same, but I am horrified at people's unironic desire for a pop culture monopoly under Disney.
Ryan Hughes
Tyler Harris
lolololol
Parker Evans
better than anything morrison's ever done
Anthony Hall
Nathan King
pretty much, honestly
Dylan Miller
that's a very low bar
Liam Bennett
points off for not getting the correct umlauts on Motörhead
Leo Williams
There is a particular earnestness about how straightforward it is. Morrison always tries to work the meta stuff into the actual narrative as an in-universe thing and it gets old eventually.
Jaxon Hall
I missed like the whole thing dammit
Well how is everyone
Cooper Nelson
HI user
Uhhhh I'll keep going with something
Joseph Morris
Huh, it's kind of hard to feel my hands. Maybe I drank a bit much too fast?
Lucas Anderson
Warren also knows how to write human emotions, something that morrison could never figure out
Nolan Peterson
drink water
Christopher Cruz
belated mandatory link:
Jace Morales
Morrison's entire fanbase and popularity has confused me since the early 90s
Joshua Jackson
Wow, that actual Usagi tho. Because the censor bar over her eyes makes this totally cool.
>tfw salty that Sailor Moon is the main reference point for magical girls in the west, when Nanoha was robbed of the chance to take the crown because of the shitty no effort dub
FUCK.
Aaron Foster
good idea
was going to go buy a bottle of Becherovka tomorrow
weeb alert!!!!!
Jace Wilson
Brainlets mistaking incoherency for good writing
Angel Diaz
omg sudden feels, what the fuck
Julian Taylor
Since Youtube is also recommending it, have a video actually honest to god filmed at Studio 54:
Daniel Perez
that dress....unwearable unless your figure fits it, but...in motion....
The greatest costume I've ever seen in person was Jeritza's Turandot premiere dress
Elijah Torres
Eh. Former weeb. Just kinda fell out of the scene at some point. Seriously though, Lyrical Nanoha is great, and you should all watch it.
>I hate having pleasant dreams, cause I always wake up.
... That's way too real. Damn.
Dominic Adams
My shop sold out of Year One 1 but I bought 2 and have only flipped through it but a little sad JRJR doesn’t seem to be taking full advantage of the bigger book.
I’m kinda fully sold on Hickman X books...
HOXPOX, uhh Xavier made a new utopia on Krakoa. We got glimpses of futures 100 years and 1000 years in the future. One is a standard X-men bad future, 1000 is better for Mutants but they’re gonna get Borged. There’s more there but that’s basics. Moria has the mutant power of reincarnation so every time she dies she restarts her life with all the memories, but only 10 times. Latest issue turned out Moria and Apocalypse had a keikaku to avoid the bad future and I’m mad I didn’t realize he was doing a Days of Future Past riff
Logan Johnson
I got a bunch of people to watch Princess Tutu with the promise of "it's actually based on ETA Hoffmann" (which it is, and it's unusually respectful of the source material) and they all loved it
Connor Taylor
This can't be as good as Roxy, but we'll read it anyway
Levi Price
Nathaniel Jackson
>Dudes are praised for it.
Honestly they're praised for it by people who wish they could act that way. In my experience those people are also loathed because it often isn't hand in hand with good leadership ability.
In fiction they fulfill wish fullfiment again for people who don't stand up for themselves.
Josiah Gray
Liam Hill
Joseph Cook
Frank miller’s Gen13 would be something fun
Dylan Carter
the faces are Oeming-esque
Ethan Hughes
Easton Perez
Wyatt Martin
D:
Daniel Moore
David Nguyen
Ooh, some hardcore Satanism!
Anthony Myers
I've not seen Princess Tutu, but I know enough to know it's a fuckin trip. It's a feels driven magical girl deconstruction decades before Madoka came along and made that shit popular.
>Grunge miniseries
... Kay.
Isaac Lee
Grunge is a good boy
Liam King
omg, go watch it like now. Storyteller commands you.
Thomas Lewis
Tutu is the best thing the magical girl subgenre has ever produced, hands down
Jason Ramirez
90s Sabrina show gave me laughs and boners so you're wrong
Ethan Bennett
Caleb Ross
Tutu will basically teach you the major story ballets
Isaiah Hernandez
Dominic Cooper
Ethan Harris
Brody Bell
I'm not going to judge you if this is your kink
not much, anyway
Zachary Evans
Mason Mitchell
unironically hot
Aiden Rivera
Grayson Baker
Nathan Scott
Oh we can all relate to that to some degree. Pretty much everyone wishes they could afford to actively not give a shit, and tell everyone else to get out the way or be run over. Most of us are unable to do that though, so we like to watch fictional characters do it instead.
Again, it's the double standard in place that is the problem here. That power fantasy is simply made less available to a female audience, because abrasiveness is commonly seen as an undesirable trait in women. And even more sadly, said stigmatizing is perpetuated by a fair number of women as well.
Chase James
did we go Lovecraft here or what?
Hunter Smith
hey, is this a religious sex dungeon?
Elijah Cooper
>good ol american steel katanna
Gabriel Moore
Tyler Johnson
Christian Robinson
Brody Gomez
Dylan Perry
Is that fucking Shinji???
Levi Jones
Nah. Not enough cats named after slurs, or twist endings about how the rape-y fish people are nothing compared to one of the characters being of mixed race.
Y'know, racism shenanigans aside, Lovecraft is exhaustingly overrated. The sheer fact that the defacto term for eldritch/cosmic horror is 'Lovecraftian' is just a bit obnoxious in how reductive it is. There is more to the genre than Cthulhu, for fucks sake.
Jordan Flores
im jealous
Daniel Roberts
Adrian Rivera
Hell, it swings both ways.
There's more to Lovecraft than Cthulhu too.
Fucking annoying to see every piece of Lovecraft media revolve about the bastard.
Andrew Morales
Jeremiah Ward
IT'S CANON
Jordan Reyes
this story is too spoooky3me
Robert James
People are fucking HYPE for that Colour Out Of Space movie.
I think I knew lovecraft might not be for me cause I read that story and was like “oh it’s radiation poisoning”
Charles Martinez
Oliver Barnes
I'm....pretty eh on it.
Seems like it'll be actually trying to portray the things the characters see, when the horror is just the out of context view on how the characters are affected.
Pretty much missing the entire impact.
David Lewis
Ooooookay
James Lee
Real talk, even a cursory glance at some of the non-high priest shit reveals that there's damn cool stuff. Not even the pantheons, but the regular monsters are so fucking cool. Ghouls are about the most vanilla ones, and they're still fucked up. There are vampires that are floating balls of fire, four armed giants that reside in the dream realm, alien space pirates shaped like crab pyramids, a sentient color, and don't even get me started on shoggoths.
But no, everyone always harps on old squidface. Goddammit.
Landon Martinez
I once read a comic adaptation of Arthur Jermyn (one of my favorites of his, yes I know the subtext is blunt as a boulder, but it still tracks as a pretty decent story) and instead of Ape Monsters....it's Deep Ones building an army for Cthulhu.
Like fuck off man.
They could make an adaptation of Sweet Ermengarde and somehow tie it to Cthulhu.
Mason Gray
Caleb Brown
Jeremiah Morgan
Ethan Ward
is he just a bigger dumbass when he's around his friends
Ethan Kelly
He's the star of this one-shot, he has to not suck
Ian Lee
What hack shit is this? The Deep Ones have FUCK ALL to do with Cthulhu. They are servants of Dagon, who actively has fuck all to do with the other Great Old Ones.
>a program based not in science, but the occult.
GRU Division P?
Evan Watson
I'm also 90% sure that the movie Dagon (an adaptation of Shadow over Innsmouth) also made the Deep Ones servants of Cthulhu.
Despite keeping the "Esoteric Order of Dagon" shtick.
Ryan Williams
was The Sinking City any good?
Oliver Foster
There’s something darkly funny about Cthulhu being like a blob that eats and take some over all Lovecraft stuff. I wonder if like there are Howard fans who’s feel that way about Conan
Also Wolverine does live to year X100 in PoX
Jaxson Rivera
sorry, I'm trying to book something and drink both
Jaxson Green
Deadpool should be alive
Joshua Richardson
Owen Phillips
I'm sipping on a michelada
Chase Russell
Connor Thomas
He might be alive? There’s like a thousandish Mutants left, mostly in Shi’ar space
Sebastian King
Jayden Sullivan
Ugh. It's a shame because Dagon and the Deep Ones are interesting in their own right, but they gotta get dragged into this bullshit too.
On that same token, probably lots of Conan Doyle fans who are sick of Sherlock Holmes and could do with some new Prof. Challenger material.
Eli Hall
no comment needed
Oliver Powell
EVERYONE is sick of Sherlock
Jackson Perez
Thomas Wright
>Sherlock and Conan vs CHtulu
Dynamite should pay me
Christopher Miller
There was a recent novel where Holmes fights Pinhead.
Ryder Reed
This really IS kind of weird Oeming, isn't it
Noah Morales
Spider-Man takes have been absolutely stunning today
Nicholas Watson
>Storm Sony HQ
I am dying here.
Angel Martin
Conan's Marvel now, so knowing Dynamite, it will be
>Sherlock, Dejah Thoris, and Bettie Page vs. Cthulhu
Charles Nguyen
The "Everyone in Hollywood is laughing at Disney doing the work and then losing the rights" take is Good, Actually
Mason Johnson
Snowboarding somehow managed to be an X-TREME staple of both the 90s and the 2000s.
>tfw Ice Cap in Sonic Adventure 1
Oof. It was janky as fuck, but goddamn was it fun.
Seriously. Dude is almost as overplayed as Batman. Doyle did other stuff. Can we please stop harping on detective sociopath for a bit. Or at least have a version that openly acknowledges that he's totally a cokehead? Goddamn.
Juan Gray
Especially after all of the takes when FOX got under Disney's thumb. It's...too good.
Ethan Thomas
this... interests me
Sherlock of Mars works too
James Phillips
He truly is Muscle Jesus, damn
Andrew Anderson
it's reminding me a bit of his odd Doctor Thirteen one shot
Isaiah Mitchell
Oh shit the preview bug is back!
Caleb Scott
its tricky t r i c ky
Gavin Wilson
amazon.com
Don't know much about it.
Hope it would at least be better than Scarlet Gospels.
Jaxson Garcia
awwh
Luis Watson
AND NOW EXTRAS
Justin Perez
FUCK. Fucking SSX Tricky was the absolute shit back in the day!
If by stunning you mean disturbing. People have been calling for Disney to outright buy Sony. Because apparently Disney having even more of a monopoly is fine as long as Peter Parker can continue being a twat.
William Ross
Christian Bennett
Aaron Smith
Blake Davis
SO we'll read something tomorrow, I hope
thanks for reading!
Julian Fisher
thanks OP.
The Jungian Adventures of Teenage Punk Runaways?
Angel Reed
Thanks for posting as always, Storyteller.
Seriously though, the Avengers game looks boring as fuck. Also, it's a live service piece of trash, which frankly disqualifies from being a real video game.
Michael Rogers
thanks OP, this franchise just keeps surprising and stays fun
Carson Ross
I'm electing something like Top Ten or Promethea though that might attract a lotta n00bs
Dominic Moore
Yeah and on the other side, next to the motley crue guy is Kaji.
Aaron Reed
Sherlock Holmes and the Hellraiser box (lament configuration?) is pretty perfect actually.
Adrian Gonzalez
I like Conan a whole lot but Kull is a genuinely more interesting character and he barely gets any love.
Leo Perez
Adam Warren should write Conan
Levi Carter
bump for storytime
