why do we hate Garth Ennis again?
>>
>>150273376
Its a mix of him being too edgy, and people treating him like this evil irishman who deconstructs superheroes becasue he hates them. I personally find him good with some bad works becasue he wanted money. If you actually read his stuff it mostly comes across he hates superhero comics for being the only "major" western comics
>>
I don't
Tumblr does
>>

>evil irishman who deconstructs superheroes becasue he hates them
I mean that's pretty spot on. Superman's just about the only superhero he doesn't openly shit on.
>>
>>150273376
only redditors or youtube cattle hate Ennis
>>
>>150273674
Reddit absolutely loves Ennis.
>>
>>150273376
We don't, he's good but sometimes needs a leash. Also when he fucks with supers like Punisher fucking with Wolverine or Hitman and Lobo only make the worst type of fanboys angry.

>>150273446
>Its a mix of him being too edgy, and people treating him like this evil irishman who deconstructs superheroes becasue he hates them.
That's Warren Ellis. He is a mix of Ennis and Morrison and sometimes that's amazing (Planetary, Supergod) and other times it's pretty fucking awful.
>>
>>150273704
Go to reddit and prove it
>>
>>150273376
Why does the idea of people holding on their heritage upset him? Imagine telling a Palestinian American to shut up and forget about Palestine just because he just so happened to be born in America.
>>
It's amazing how nu/co/ cares more about taking the opposite stance of whatever they believe "Reddit" wants than actually having an opinion of their own. You people are literal NPCs.
>>
>>150273757
Ennis wrote an IDF puff piece where they take the Golan in war instead of sneaking in like thieves in the night like it actually went down, so he probably would.
>>
>>150273758
who cares nigga why do you come here if you hate us so much fuck off
>>
I have this insane feeling that Gunn desperately wants to adapt Hitman but Ennis keeps saying no to it
>>
>>150273797
I can already imagine Gunns interpretation will be like how in Deadpool 2 they were hyping X Force only they will be hyping up the Bloodlines Heroes and after the first episode only Tommy is the survivor
>>
>>150273376
I like Ennis. Hitman, Preacher, and his MAX stories are some of my favorites.
>>150273446
I like edge, as it is the spice of thrillers, but there needs to be a balance. He doesn't hate superheroes, he just never got into them as a kid, so he mostly lacks that child-like wonder other Brits have. That's why his superhero work mostly falls flat, since he neither hates nor loves them.
>>
>>150273706
>That's Warren Ellis.

No, that's very much Garth Ennis. Garth Ennis hates and despises superheroes.
>>
>>150274979
Ellis too. He likes pulp heroes but superheroes he despises in that edgy, post-ironic reddit way of being. That Planetary/Batman comic has layers of him dunking the character in the guise of descontruction or whatever he wants to calls. The difference between Ellis and Ennis is that the later is straighfoward and honest about his hate goes "haha, no, I like Superman, I really do. However..."
>>
>>150273376
I hate Crossed, but I love his Punisher run.
>>
>>150274979
Incorrect. Ennis doesn't hate them.
>>
Why are there two Ennis threads?
>>
>>150273622
Fag
>>
>>150276998
Because he's good.
>>
I don't have to trust or like a fucking Northern Irish Protestant.
>>
>>150273706
I like Planetary but Supergod is trash
>>
>>150278563
For me Supergod is Ellis at his peak, it's not a story is one of his autistic ramblings being translated to a comic book. Planetary is better because it does have real characters and a plot, Supergod is more like an Isaac Asimov book where the characters are just a device to explore an idea.
>>
>>150278794
Honestly it just kinda bored me, the idea wasn't all that great to make up for the complete lack of actual characters. Just boring edgy atheist dribble.
>>
>>150273809
Bonus if they have Anima ripped in half like the Prometheus special and some joke of "didn't she have a series too? who cares"
>>
>>150279012
If you think that was bad, stay away from Hickman's God is Dead. How that shit got 48 issues and 2 specials is beyond my comprehension
>>
>>150273673
He doesn't shit on Batman that much, everyone. else seems fair game for him
>>
>>150273757
You have the same brainpower as people who wear sports caps of a team from a city they've never been to

Your dumb sandpeople flag is pretty much a yankees fitted at this point. Wow you're so fuckin cool
>>
>>150278430
Ennis is a very Irish name anon
>>
>>150273757
There is a difference between caring about what goes on in foreign countries and deciding you must make your piece of America Palestine only.

His entire speech is pretty much fuck race wars and stand as Americans.
>>
>>150279811
>>150273673
I like how if you showed someone Ennis' ideas of "not shitting on Batman/Superman" they'd think he fucking hates them, and you'd have to explain everyone else has it infinitely worse.

>GONNA
>>
Did anyone here read Babs? Entire comic really shows he doesn't know much about genre conventions outside the cape bubble. Also it's very obvious editorial had him on a leash to push Certain Ideas.
>>
>>150280792
I only read the issues that were storytimed here, and I just got the sense he didn't know about the fantasy genre and didn't really give a shit about it.
>>
>>150280792
It sucked hard and I'm someone that generally likes Ennis
>>
>>150280792
I did, I was expecting something like Hitman but with boobs and a sword. It's pretty generic shit, feels like he is writting to pay some bills or is doing a favour, you can see there is zero interest on his part.
>>
>>150273376
Because
>he's a hack writer whose "edginess" is very obviously a ham-fisted ploy at shock value rather than coming from a genuine place
>when you get past all the smoke and mirrors his worldview is childishly simple and about as generic milquetoast leftist as you can get
>he can only ever write Hollywood-standard "tough guys", girlbosses, political strawmen and cartoonishly retarded and depraved villains
>his action scenes are dyed-in-the-wool Hollywood shit, ironically enough
>he won't stop deepthroating the English cock like the slimy servile paddy mick he is
List goes on but that's a crash course.
>>
>>150279848
Now say that but like a normal person.
>>
I like him just fine when he isn't being ultra-gross which is admittedly most of the time.
>>

I don't know why he made it. I don't even know what the comic was getting at. Just didn't feel very passionate.
>>
>>150280792

It's pretty easy to notice that once he runs out of shock value his bag of tricks is very limited.
>>
I hate him because he is a moralfaggot, preaching his retarded views in his comics and doing it in most obnoxious way possible. Op picture is a great example of character spouting Pennis wisdom to readers.
Mediocre writer, all he really has going on is edgyness, and this shit can get old quick.
>>
>>150282818
>>150284462
>>150284835
He's still one of the best writers in comics.
>>
>>150273757
One man can not be loyal to two nations.
>>
>>150273376
We don't. Only faggots do.
>>
>>150273376
he's a cheap version of Warren Ellis who pretends to have a lot more nuance in his stories than they really do and forever rides the highs of his Punisher/Fury runs despite being dogshit at everything else
>>
>>150273376
Anon, Superman, Wonder Woman and Daredevil are like, the only supes he likes. He hate them all. And that's a good thing.
>>
>>150273376
Because, unfortunately, most of 4chan's current userbase is redditors. And their opinions are nearly the exact opposite of 4chan's original userbase on nearly every single subject.
