MR PRESIDENT
>>290421513I see. I get it now.
Ovvvvvvva
Well shit, after all that I didn't think we'd actually get Oswald Patsy Theory
>>290421333I can't belive Oswald just shot JFK...
>>290421322FUCK. KEVIN YOU HAD ONE JOB!
>>290421540How the fuck Kevin Jr saving mankind? Manipulating Chopman into not wishing the destruction of earth?
>>290421443The buildup to all of this chaotic movement with slanted panels is great.>>290421572THE SUCCESSOR!
So, fuck da president
>>290421540>the union of black and white is the one that will save the worldKino.
>>290421478>Yyyyep... He ain't gonna live.RIP JFK, in his honor go try the shot out yourselfhttps://www.myabandonware.com/game/jfk-reloaded-c6p
>>290422198That's one way he saved the world but I'd say the most important thing he did was inspiring people with his comics. Once you understand this then the final arc goes from disappointing to amazing.
>>290421540I begin to think the bat only cares about interacting with humans.He keeps going on about "saving the world, inheriting the land, becoming a hero" but in reality all he does is try to keep the people that can see him to stay alive, while history happens without intervention.
>>290421651>>290421679Thanks OP!I remember watching a documentary on the topic of JFK's assassination, and there, the news broadcasters were hesitant to declare him dead until proven otherwise. They all said JFK's got wounded and was hospitalised for days before they declared him dead. Wonder if they'll do the same thing here.
>>290422291>black and whiteBlack and yellow, actually.
>>290421679It feels a bit foolish in retrospect, but I genuinely believed Kevin was going to find a way to save JFK up until this chapter. Greatest fakeout I've seen in a while.

>>290425710Thanks. Shit's getting REAL. The next chapter is a real highlight from what I recall.

>>290425710The fucking Bat...
Enough with the Billy Bat threads already. I will start reporting them as off-topic. Billy Bat and Chuck Culkin are as American as apple pie, these threads belong on /co/, not /a/.
>>290422758>>290438394Guess not.
>>290438463BRUH Not even prime Walt was this much of a scavenger
>>290438724>Back and to the left
>>290438783Everything is coming up Oswald!
Divine intervention or mental illness, call it friendo
Ovsaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Wait, being a hero sucks actually.
>>290439283A real human bean
>>290439283Love this man like you wouldn't believe
>>290439283Now this was a great way to finish the chapter and arc. Notice how Oswald is framed within the movie screen. POETIC. There's the face of the star of the show and a true hero.
>>290438607>Chuck realizing the other Chuck might not be a good guy.
>>290438783>A Movie by Carson Clay
Now we get the arc where Oswald convinces the prosecutor that he didn't do it and goes free, right?
>>290439027Very meta.
>>290439245Oh shit, he's fighting back for once!
>>290422198by drawing the fucking comic
>>290421585wait, is that the church lady?
>>290439136>>290439283MY HERO!
>>290438492This dude has completely lost it. Or, more scarily, he never had it to begin with.
>>290438463>>290438492Walt died only three years after JFK. He absolutely would not be doing shit like this; he'd already retired Mickey as a character by this point and spent his last few years focusing on his theme parks. Hell, around JFK's death he was working on one in St. Louis.
>>290421679Sources tell me John F. Kennedy is stable.Please god.
>>290438837I can't tell if this means Billy played him for a sap, or he's mocking him for shooting the general at all when that basically sealed his fate.
>>290438948>>290441305Oh, it's 100 percent the latter.
>>290421322WHY DIDN'T YOU FLY KEVIN
>>290438463>>290438492Guys I'm starting to think this Walt Dis- I mean Chuck Culkin fellow isn't actually a good guy.
Reminder that Disney, Stan Lee, Bill gates and all those "genius" are frauds and thieves'
>>290421540lil nigga
>>290425710I have no fucking clue what's happening
>>290441207To be fair, Walt was working on Epcot around this time, which was him basically building his perfect society. Which, iirc, does get brought up later in the manga with it's own parallel.
>>290439027great effect making him jump out of the screen into the world
>>290441207>he still thinks billy hasn't already altered the timeline
>>290443341
>>290439283Well done Oswald, now the future is connected....
>>290425710Thus series is goddamn bonkers.In other news, Billy Bat is now coming to a bookstore near you! Assuming you live in America, the only country that matters.
>>290441305Billy was telling him to NOT shoot the general earlier, probably not the first option.
>>290443950Got mine, I'm surprised it has a cover jacket.
>>290443718There is no escape, huh?
>>290442777Bill Gates, sure (though even then, Bill was downright honest compared to the ketamine addled lunatics that replaced him in the modern day). In terms of Disney and Stan Lee, though, there's a lot more nuance. I'd argue Walt's greatest strength was that he was one of the few people around his time that saw the true potential in animation, and was willing to bet everything on that faith. At a time when everyone else just used it as a novelty, a fancy minstrel show, or both, Disney was gathering traditional artists, setting up in house art schools, and using those resources to push the boundaries of animation as much as humanly possible. Like, there are multiple Disney alumni that admitted they wouldn't have gotten nearly as far as artists without Walt drawing out their potential. The end result was a studio making some of the most influential films ever put to screen. Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Fantasia, all of which shaped art going forward in their own way. You'd be hard pressed to find a single other person willing to make Fantasia, even to this day. It stands tall as a pinnacle of artistic achievement that seems nearly impossible to even reach, let alone surpass. It's those kinds of films that Disney ACTUALLY built its empire on.As much as people like to say that Ub Iwerks was the true creator of Mickey and all that jazz, at the end of the day Disney absolutely wouldn't have survived with just Mickey regardless. We see as such when Ub made his own studio with Flip the Frog. Flip had a solid run all things considered, but a single mascot does not a studio make.
>>290432597>bats are known carriers of rabies>rabies>rabbisFUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!
>>290445730Yes but at the end of the day people give him all the credits over things he didnt create and take at his own, Walt never draw, animate and even work on anything that you mention and everyone talks like his one of the most creative minds of our time when he didnt even create Mickey or even Oswald
>>290445891OH SHIT
>>290421513...Obama?
>>290439027
>>290425458She's afraid of getting rape here isn't it
>>290432597>>290432534>>290432503Just wait until Not Disney Backstory
>>290439283Thanks OPI'm totally lost todayWhat is real, what is fake, I've no idea at all
>>290438783>A Hideo Kojima
>>290447533I think she actually has a crush on him.
>>290445915I'm not going to sit here and pretend like Ub Iwerks doesn't deserve his flowers. But it's a bit ridiculous to act like Oswald or Mickey were born from some stroke of genius when the entire point of rubberhose cartoons is how they're all completely interchangeable. Both of those characters were ripoffs of Julius the Cat, who was a ripoff of Felix. Not to mention Hugh Harman was the one that sketched the initial mouse design used for Mickey anyway (which is why pic related exists), so no party is exactly clean here. It's swiping all the way down.It wasn't until the feature length films that Disney truly found its niche above the crowd.>Walt never draw, animate and even work on anything that you mentionWalt was extremely hands on with Snow White and Pinocchio. In the former he wrote and acted out the script for Snow White for the animators to use as reference. It wasn't until Dumbo he had a more hands off approach, but that was mostly because of external factors like dealing with the worker's strike.
>>290440341If you mean the bride, than yes.
>>290443950>Assuming you live in America
scorsese should sue
I love chuck culkin
>>290438492Urasawaheads will never take me seriously when i tell them Chuck is my favorite villain from Urasawa's catalogAlso Friend is garbage
favorite analysis of the shooting?this one got its comment section recently taken downhttps://youtu.be/dZed8cNAu10
>>290448708I see we've got a more knowledgeable than average person here.Going on /co/ will eventually show you nuance about Stan Lee, but where would one hear about Bill?
>>290448708>But it's a bit ridiculous to act like Oswald or Mickey were born from some stroke of geniusof course not those ideas that "genius" create things out of thin air is ridiculous hollywood bio garbage of course he had tons of inspirations but it still was his creation that he made and put his spins and turns which no one credits because Disney need to make the Walt genius mythos rolling, there is a reason why Black Ink was draw with Walt's faceMy whole point is how people take Walt as some kind of one of kind genius that created everything by himself when there are lots of people that made way more than he did, not saying that he wasnt important but his idea that he was the sole responsible for creating all those characters, movies, comics and all is absurd
>>290451292Lee is even worse that people think he created all marvel by himself when Ditko, Kirby and even Peter David were more important in the marvel mythos, he was important obviously but the amount of credit that is give to him is way over the top
Bump

>>290456698AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>290439301Any hero knows that.
I remember Oswald lasting longer than this
>>290458981He just has performance anxiety, give him a break.
>>290456176Yep that one was an all timer. I wish there was a sequel of Pharaoh's Curse. We need to see more of best girl.>>290456425>>290456458RIP...
>>290421540im starting to think the bats were just bored and choose to fuck up with mankind. like how Riuk droped the death note on earth
>>290461665Well, it's basically like that. The white bat wants humanity gone so they'd be free from this rock while the black bat wants to see it through the end. And the moon bat is in the cuck chair.
>>290425710what the hello does he fucking want
>>290439283I never, I mean never, NEVEEEEER could imagined tha Oswald would become OUR FUARKING HERO!. this shit its absolutely kino. FUCK THE BLACK BAT
>>290450574this is my first read of billy bat and I can say without doubt that is my favorite Urasawa work. 21CB is weak compared to this schizo fest kino
>>290456425>>290456458RIP in peace, our fuarking hero
>>290450574>>290462103I love Monster, it's one of my favourite pieces of animanga of all time, but I still don't understand how the man that wrote it could create something as shit as 20/21CBBilly Bat has only gotten better since chapter 1 while it felt like the opposite with 20th CB
Pluto is still the best
>>290462636I feel that way about Monster too desu.. that's why I stopped following Billy Bat, cause I felt my need-to-know-what-happensiness being milked like with Monster.
>>290421147Is this manga good? I read Pluto and I hated it, it was way too dramatic compared to Monster.
>>290462751>too dramaticyou wont enjoy astroboy
>>290462751>pluto>too dramatic compared to Monster.
>>290463523yes
>>290462751Read it until you are at least at the end of the chapter in Billyland
Billy Bump
>>290462751I'd say so. I almost tricked myself into not reading it after how much I fucking hated 20th century boys.
>>290455968>everything is scribbles>Billy Bat is drawn near perfectly
>>290456458Guys I'm starting to think that this Oswald fellow was based on a real guy......... nah it can't be
>>290455994Ohhh, so the buildings were a fake out this entire time. The kid was in danger because the shot was crowd level.
>>290466505...fair enough
>>290444219>got mine>look under the cover
>>290456155 Kevin's expression in the fourth panel looks like a tired and awkward guy who doesn't really know to smile feeling joy and remorse. Could it be he is falling out of love with his comic?
>>290456176 I wonder if billy's powers also changes destiny in a way he has his readers to live life changing experiences that makes them fall in love with him. Maybe he just interferes with people and the ones that can see him end up being his pawns?
>>290457910 Billy connects this guy with a guy he saw getting burnt alive. It's way more than just a good comic to him.
>>290456132H-he's fast!
>>290456425>>290456458RIP to a true American hero.

>>290456698Holy shit, this kid sees EVERYTHING. Billy must really like him.
>>290456278Man, without any knowledge of the Bat this dude has had an insane life.
>>290466431Could be that toddler Kevin traced/copied Billy from the books but had trouble coming up with proper designs for his mom and himself.

I am calling for a boycott of "Fuji Pontarou." You should instead spend your dollars on Chuck Culkin's Billy Bat. Now there's a series that really respects the culture and history it's drawing from.
