Why do you read capeshit again?
>>155558113Why do you have an image made by a giantess furfaggot saved on your device
>>155558113Sometimes I find stories I really enjoy. The genre has been around for a long time and was dominant in the medium for a chunk of that. Also, I'm kind of interested in some of the core concepts and possible explorations thereof. There are bound to be some in there for me.I never followed mainline cape books partly for the reason (and several others) outlined in this strip. Every time I decide to go and read one of the acclaimed ones, it's crap, almost without exception. I prefer comics to have a beginning and an end, a single writer and a single artist/art team through to the end, and for it to exist separate from other stories from its publisher. Some people think this is too much to ask for, but I think it should be met easily.>>155558138Why do you know that?
>>155558113>Weebshitter from /a/ is actually a white libtard troonChecks out.
>>155558113
>>155558310>zoomernigger proudly declares lacking the capacity to read anything longer than a Shitter postThis entire generation should be gassed.
>>155558113The last panel made me smile.
>>155558113>everyone has a clear goal (orgasms)>they usually achieve it>afterwards everyone is alive and happywe must be reading very different porn comics...
>>155558527No need to dig any deeper. We are fine where we are.
>>155558113It fullfills the basic needs and story structures. Hero fights villian for the greater good but has a distinctive power or theme while being in disguise.It is kinda like clasicmgreek stories, they are kinda all the same in appearance. Same as the pulp era.
>>155559418Hi MovieBlob.
>>155559604Sorry, i have more hair and less weight than Bob.
I read them for the same reason I watch slasher films, I enjoy watching the villains antics and seeing them defeated by the end until they're ready to go at it again in the next one. There's not too much difference between Freddy Krueger and the Joker.
>>155559672Not a high bar to clear, y'know.
>>155558113I read capeshit fanfic for identity drama.
>>155560119I know. That Fast Food post of Moviebob was uncovering the truth.But to return to the thread topic. There are not so many good indys or non-cape comics that have interesting characters or settings.So what is there besides Hellboy or Fables? I would rather read Manga than 99% of Indys.
>>155560166Why did he shit himself in the last panel?
>>155560464for emphasis
>>155558113First panel is a shaky assumption, but the complaints are valid if common to hear.
>>155558113Yap yap yap
>>155560464It's a joke about Hanselman's comics being vulgar and full of gross-out jokes. It's also why Jones is uncharterisically holding a sniffter of brandy while he delivers his uncharterisically sophisticated opinion.
>>155559418>It fullfills the basic needs and story structuresThey don't.>It is kinda like clasicmgreek stories, they are kinda all the same in appearance. Classic Greek hero stories are FAR better.
>>155560579I wouldn't go that far to make a point but I respect his conviction.
>>155560620no doubles
Why can't capeshit just die?
>>155558113Not everyone ends "happy" and "alive" un several porn comics i have read. Also, no idea why some capeshit haters (like Alan Moore) tend to lionize porn comics so much, demanding them to be seen as some higher art form instead of wank material.
>>155560216>So what is there besides Hellboy or Fables?The Adventures of Luther Arkwright (SF, action, alt history)American Flagg! (SF, action, satire)Asterios Polyp (literary/art, drama)Bacchus (comedy, drama, tragedy, mythology, travelogue, crime)Bone (adventure, fantasy, comedy)B.P.R.D. (SF, action, horror, weird fiction)Cages (literary/art, drama, magical realism)Cerebus (parody, comedy, fantasy, political thriller, drama, action, tragedy)From Hell (historical fiction, occult fiction, crime, horror)The Invisibles (SF, fantasy, occult fiction, action)Love and Rockets (romance, drama, horror, tragedy, comedy, magical realism)Mage: The Hero Discovered (action, urban fantasy)Preacher (neo-western, fantasy, adventure)Strangehaven (mystery, horror, soap opera)Stray Bullets (crime, drama)Zot! (SF, action, adventure, drama)
>>155558113I read it opportunistically . I know I will never finish 1% of it so I just nibble at what peaks my fancy.
>>155558113Who is this guy and why should I care about his gay rants
>>155561560Alan Moore was once a legitimate capeshitter. He likes the topic of sex, and he thinks people should have sex. He calls it porn and not erotica for the same reason he calls them comics and not graphic novels.
>>155558113>It's another "why doesn't the good guy kill the bad guy" argument.
>>155561600A lot of that is going beyond that anon who seems to only be interested in shonen-esque stories where angry men beat each other up.

>>155558138>>155558113>search the name>it's real, since the 80sOnce again, I can't respect the people that have "arguments" against capeshit>in the standard comics storyDid this nigga just read the most normalfag mainstream shit he could find (so like 4 or 5 titles), so he could complain about capeshit not being about people fucking for 18-22 pages straight?He even thought that they're strictly power fantasies. Most of the times they're suicide fuel
>>155560745>They don't.Not every but the mayority. Thats why so many capes are created and popular for the last 50 years.>Classic Greek hero stories are FAR better.Because they are distilled and the bad ones are forgotten.
>>155561710OK but why doesn't he?
>>155558248You can google the artist, the source is in your image
>>155562359Because killing someone is no light matter. It's also not his responsibility. The State believes only it only has the authority to perform executions, and it will make life very difficult for anyone whom they believed performed one extrajudicially. Look at how the state responded to Daniel Penny or Kyle Rittenhouse.
>>155559418No it doesnt you utter homonculus. Achilles isnt saved from the poisoned arrow by Hector who wasnt dead after all so they can do the same fucking fight 30 more times in THE ILLIAD 12, DAWN OF PERSIA
>>155562543No its because there has to be more comics. Dont pretend its anything but that. Batman doesnt let the Joker die, not even fucking kills him, theres like 5 superheroes and a million normal people whod just fucking kill him if Batman wouldnt let 5 women get raped to isntead save the Joker again. But then there would be no more comics about the Jonkler and da Batman
>>155562696Do you want another reason? They are supposed to be heroes. They teach you about responsibility, courage, perseverance, etc. What do you think many diehard Punisherfags believe? Or basically anyone that copied a fictional character's values. Do you seriously want a schizo invading your house because he thinks that you're a pedo? Too negative, that's gay!!!!
>>155558113Damn, this furry porn artist makes some good points actually.Oddly enough SIlver Age comics are better by his metric, since villains killed people very sporadically in those
>>155562806Oh another good example are the Taxi Driver faggots, and people that misunderstood Rorschach, best character btw
>>155558113Good news, we're post 2020 and comics tried really hard to appeal to this exact level of shithead and it's not been an "Adolescent power fantasy" for boys anymore. It's been an adolescent power fantasy for girls who don't read comics! Joker's not allowed to escape anymore, he has to wait for a whole ass universe reboot. Villains get killed off and usually stay killed off until the universe reboots. Villains aren't allowed to kill as many people unless they die at the end.You know who is allowed to kill wholesale with no repercussions? Literally any female villain. Poison Ivy can literally onscreen rip a guy in half and then go on to have sitcom adventures. That is not an exaggeration, that is not a made up scenario, that is something that happened onscreen and it is not even remotely an outlier. Joker gets the Joker raped out of him onscreen, but Harley Quinn is allowed to go on a murder spree in her teamup movie, because she's feeling sad. And of course even Jean Gray is now allowed to force an old man to get run the fuck over for shits and giggles, but she's not that bad a person. Wanda's allowed to control an entire fucking town and mindrape them to the point they cry for death, and get told nobody will understand how much she gave up during the mindrape.You succeeded and it fucking sucks.
>>155562696>Batman doesnt let the Joker die,Yes he does.>not even fucking kills him,Tried to kill him way back in Death in the Family. Onscreen attempted to murder him and Joker had to fake his own death to get away.>But then there would be no more comics about the Jonkler and da BatmanMotherfucker there have been SIX universe reboots in DC, he dies, he's been killed, that story of that universe is over and you're reading a brand new one. Joker who got god powers and ate china has been dead for over 2 decades now.This is like watching Tim Burton's batman and wondering why Heath Ledger Joker is walking around.
>>155558113Hey, that's my second cousin. Didn't realise /co/omers read his stuff.
>>155562543>the state lets mass murderers, drug traffickers and rapists go free no problem but will come down like a ton of bricks on the vigilante trying to rid society of those evils in permanent fashionSounds about right!
>>155563051This isn't supposed to be an attack, but how old are you roughly? And why do you post here, what topics do you like? I'm interested in /co/ and 4chan demographics
>>155562696Yeah that's the meta-reason.If you want a Batman story where he kills the Joker at the end and pays no cost for it, just watch Burton's Batman movie and leave it at that. Ignore that in Batman Forever he tells Dick Grayson that killing Joker is one of his biggest regrets.>Then it will happen this way: You make the kill, but your pain doesn't die with Harvey, it grows. So you run out into the night to find another face, and another, and another, until one terrible morning you wake up and realize that revenge has become your whole life. And you won't know why.
>>155563109Go datamine elsewhere, Jewgle boy.
>>155558113Same reason I don't watch soap operas
>>155563400You're a retarded nigger>>155563051But now that I think about it, don't reply to my previous post. Simply because someone will take your ambiguous post and try to dox you. Why? Because they can
