What do you think of the animated Discworld adaptations?https://youtu.be/JIgE23LHgPQ?si=3ggFEL84LqsqbbZwhttps://youtu.be/UYhbiCygCGQ?si=h_Sz9chMlPYLYNxi
>>151870541NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC WITH ROCKS IN.
>>151869687Not really, it mostly just breaks down the series into smaller sub-series. based on the main and central characters. Death is a character in nearly all books but only five has him as the main character.
Never read the entire series and it was one of those things I always meant to get around to.I could be wrong or misremembering, but I think that part of the recommendation as to why you might want to start with the "Guards" books is that Samuel Vines is kind of the first unironically heroic character to appear and last for more than one book.Vimes and his watchmen are kind of gang that you can feel good seeing their lots in life improving over time and Vimes himself is just a genuinely good guy. Meanwhile with Rincewind before him, his being kind of a hopeless dumbass is part of the appeal.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnFr65RXdk8
>>151874018It has long been said that Guards! Guards! is the point at which the series 'matures' from 'sword-and-sorcery parody' to being parodic about the human condition (or particular human concerns).The Rincewind novels start off basically as doing for 'fantasy humour' what the Xanth series did for 'fantasy punning'. Though far better. Aside from not getting the real 'feel' of who the Wizards are (post-Sourcery, certainly, once Archchancellor Ridcully freezes the old "dead wizards' pointy-shoes" concept of promotion), which is useful to apprecuate the Science Of Discworld set, and of course how the wizards cameo elsewhereAnd you generally couldn't go wrong with just reading the Watch novels (and interweaving them into the Industrial Revolution ones). Though I'd suggest checking the publication dates and adding the Death set in as well, definitely, as you can't beat Death and his 'family'.... (Not even if he still doesn't know how the 'horsey' chess pieces move!)And, truth be told, I like the Witches set, but (especially with Equal Rites being another 'early-installment weirdness', it only really getting into its stride with Wyrd Sisters), I wouldn't dare to suggest a random stranger commits themselves to them, because some people just won't like it, and the cross-over with the rest of the series is also fairly minimal.I read TCOM/TLF right back at the start (and, before that, had read Strata, strangely not realising this new series was from an author I'd already read) and it was very much an undeveloped fantasy world back then... I grew with it. I got used to it. I was there when "Can we have another Rincewind novel?" was the fans' eternal cry (he was a good guide to the world, but I'm glad that he got made an "Ape's Number Two", by the end). Also "Can we have one about football?" (*Eventually*, there was Unseen Academicals, but ...whether it's because I'm not a football/soccer person at heart... I don't rate it so much.)
>>151874790(cntd)TL;DR; - What I would give, as a general recommendation for anyone not wanting to commit to being a 'completist', is read anything (mostly, but not exclusively, the "Watch" set) that 'leads up to' Night Watch, to understand that novel... (That technically includes Thief Of Time, but only touching upon it as a 'crossover' event.) And then if you're still into it then progress forward, into later Watch novels and (for variety) whatever of the the Industrial/Moist Von Lipwigs you haven't already read.If I knew a person, I might suggest something else.You know a bit of Shakespeare? Well, Wyrd Sisters (Macbeth/Hamlet) and Lords And Ladies (Midsummer Night's Dream) should shape your 'intro arc'.Into musical history (sufficiently pre-millenial, ideally), Soul Music is good; or, if films, Moving Pictures. Heck, an interest in comparative theology gives you Pyramids and Small Gods (though you can also read them as stand-alones without being a theolgian of any kind, to make you think *or* just entertain you).Of course, if you *are* a completist reader and can beg, borrow or steal every book (check your local library?) then, by all means start with TCOM/TLF and go by publication order (note, sometimes more than one book a year, but rarely from the same sub-series so not too important to check the month as well!) and perhaps you'll get the same experience I did... in fact, force yourself to wait at least a few months between finishing one book and starting the next for the 'old fashioned' experience. ;)
Final issue, let's see what the great Tom King is cooking.
Trinity seems fun.Does she have good notable stories or does she just exist for batwank and try to pretend they didnt fuck up Jon?
>>151872947Three unique anons are calling you out. Deal with it.
>>151865475Daddy!
>>151873998it's just you
>>151873940Nope, not yet at least.
Grandma focused, finally
>>151873616That depends on if it is farm land or not.The price of farm land is ridiculous because of private equity firms buying farms to put into their portfolios so they can abuse chapter 12 bankruptcy.
>>151873665Hillbilly genes
>>151871490Mitzi's mom is not considering how all 55 acres of that land can be used for whatever such as farming for more wheat for all of her baked goods which means she wouldnt have to buy them from a supplier since she'd be her own supplier AND this can be written down on taxes as a business expense. However, if I were her i'd be very careful if a certain super conglomerate who lives to have a monopoly on both food and the transportation of food (Monsanto) doesnt see her land and "accidentally" drop off trade marked seeds that happen to be now growing in that area and has to lose all that land in a court case.
>>151871490Cute
>>151873925If murphy marries mitzi He will use her land as a skatepark
Post about dead webcomics in this thread.This thread is only for DEAD and ABANDONED webcomics. Situations like:>Creator died>Creator said they quit the story>creator in prison>creator disappeared or The website just died without explanationUnless its been on hold for something like 5+ years, comics on hiatus do not fit here.
>>151873283Artistic kino. Retroactively ruined by the artist getting lost in the troonhole and throwing his entire webcomic into the trash for the sake of fuck-knows-what.
>>151873600I think most of the pages are on archive.org. The URL was seed.thecomicseries.com.
Anrisive was shaping up to be pretentious giantess kino, but the author vanished after finishing the intro.
>>151873304i mean is there something notable about the publishers being itallian? Does italy have a lot of webcomics
>>151874782shame so tired of tf having the webcomic fetish monopoly
>>151872298
>>151871805Mmmm, it alright
Izzy pees in the pool one episode and flashes everyone for a second when she scratches herself like a dog alsoher bikini bottom came off this episode
>>151859627When people say "don't stick your dick in crazy" are they talking about Izzy's brand of crazy? I picture that as more relationship crazy, clingy, obsessive, overly jealous. Things like that. Izzy never struck me as that type of crazy
>>151872452amy is great too, i wish both taylor and amy had more time to shine
Stop liking evil women.
>>151871845Artist?

>>151871845Stop making them sexy.
>>151874572Thanks
>>151871845If you're going to post the Grinchess, at least post the actually hot one
From your taco speaking neighbors. We made a Christmas card with all our local 2025 memes, I hope you like it.
>>151873196Sure, go ahead. Hispanic /co/ threads are always my favorite ones.I just post in on /basurero/ too
feliz navidad taco anons
>>151873840Gracias, anon.
Emily the Strange, Men in Black, and Viking Skool are hardly talked about on /co/. I didn’t know tacos had an interest in those. The rest I get.
>>151874013We have a tradition called "mega-oddisey", which is about the entire board picking a show and watching it for the whole of September. Some guy decide to binge watch all of the Men in Black cartoon and anons liked it a lot.Viking School was also pretty loved by /ac/ regulars, we were discussing it way before the show aired, we are looking forward to Season 2.
Would Beast Boy and Raven have made a good couple?
>>151872424yes
>>151870792Even more surprising that Asian super heroes are largely absent in Teen Titans 2003 despite how hard it's influenced by Japan
>>151873336The cringeworthy Trouble in Tokyo movie makes up for it though
No matter how many times Marvel tries to ignore it and make people forget it.People still hate CarolJust put her put of her misery already
>>151874630I am maga trump is gonna win again in 2028
>>151874269She is going to be in space for at least a year. The new mini is a flashback
>>151874678I hate Miles so I'm cool with this
>>151874775You shouldn't be cool with it because Miles was the catalyst for the finale fight between Carol and Tony because of a vision that he killed Hydracap which meant there was a possibility he stopped Secret Empire.
>>151874678What a weird time that was, when she was still allowed to have a female body.
>reunites with long lost daughter on christmas>is never seen again
>>151872398She'd be in her mid to late 20s
>>151874681Maybe that's why Mr Hyunh is into country music
>>151872311He never should have given her up.
>>151874751She was a baby in a crib and probably 1, Hyunh said it happened 20 years ago(and kinda tracks, the episode came out in 1996 but was probably made in 1995), she's probably 21
>>151874836Yeah I'm gonna use my kids as human shields if any war breaks out and my city gets taken over, gonna ducttape those little fuckers around me
ITT, we draw this legendary scene frame by frame in our own special style.
>>151869316My only suggestion for a possible last-minute change is to change the >Superintendent! I was just-part to use the Lycan Jonze Fist of the B0rf star text-to-speech voice.That said, I have no memory of what program he used, just that the voice was called "wiseguy" But this is extremely minor and unnecessary
>>151873753Might as well add the "Omae wa mou Shinde Iru. Nani?" audio clip to the house on fire part. Or not. I think it's a perfect fustercluck. Stay classy Anons.
>>151873598>Steamed Hams but it's drawn by /co/Done>>151872703>>151873251I'd be all for another project like this, but I don't see myself being the editor. I only volunteered for this because I though it would be quick and simple, and we'd have it done in 2 days, 3 tops. I'd be more than happy to volunteer my artistic abilities, though!

Mods are out for Christmas. Post bad bitches.
>>151865909>bad bitchesBad Girls Inc. was vaguely a thing in the backdrop of Captain America comics like 35 years ago.
>>151874270So did she wrestle Titania for the name and lose, or give up without a fight?
>>151871847Really hope the current PG outfit sticks around for a while. I have wanted her to use the Kingdom Come style boots for as long as I have read comics.How is Justice League Red?
>>151873896Then why do you wear a giant bat on your head?

But why a hippo?
She had to be something

>>151874319...tempo?
Do you ever wonder, why did something as antisocial as keeping a huge secret from your friends and family become such a huge part of the superhero mythos? These characters were created as role models, and them regularly lying to their loved ones was originally supposed to be seen as heroic and admirable for the greater good of not putting them in danger. But in real life, you probably wouldn't want to be friends with someone who regularly vanishes and lies to you. Isn't it weird how something so blatantly antisocial became such a crucial part of the allegedly benevolent power fantasy?I've heard the idea that the trope and its popularity originates from the appeal to Jewish migrants trying to hide that they're Jewish. How true do you think that is?
>>151872956Yeah but superheroes are popular outside of 4chan, so even normies find it acceptable under some circumstances.
>>151872956Don't forget that retards will try to dox each other too, now imagine if your enemies have guns and are part of a mob and aren't just trolls and pedophiles
>>151871898No. I'm not retarded and I understand the reasons.
Frankly I have more issue with people who DON'T understand the secret identity thing and I don't like that so many heroes keep moving away from them.
>>151873560>>151873377There is an entire arc dedicated to escaped convicts going after his loved ones.
