Does /co/ like Transmet?
>>150693861It's pretentious garbage
>>150693861Hasn’t aged that well
Woke trash
>>150693861We USED TO love it, but that was back in the 00s. tumbler /co/ and nu/co/ doesn't like anything.
>>150693861It's okay. The final boss being a crazed democrat president who wants to ruin the country was fine.
>>150693912You don't speak for me
>>150693861Trans?
>>150693861Despite all the cynicism it wears on its sleeve, it also manages to come across as totally naive at the same time.
>>150693861I liked it even if I didn't think it was flawless. I used to see positive opinion of it here and elsewhere but now people seem to hate it because it's "woke" or "problematic" or whatever.
>>150694101How so?
He looks like he's raping someone
>>150693861I'm surprised they haven't made an adaptation of it already.
>>150694299It doesn’t really lend itself to adaptation easily. Very much of a product of its time ie late 90s/early 00s and it doesn’t have many storylines that could make for a great movie. It could maybe work as a TV show but even then you would have to basically reinvent the whole thing and find ways to do what the comic was doing with contemporary topics and ideas and do entirely original stuff instead of trying to adapt it as it is.
>>150693909Stfu
>>150694359I don't think WB cares about the integrity of the comic when making slop of their IPs. If they made an adaptation of DMZ then why not this?
>>150693861meh
>>150693861I thought it was okay back when I read it the first time. It should have been drawn by someone like Geof Darrow, though.Every page or panel I've seen since comes off as more cringeworthy than I remember.>>150693870How retarded are you to think Transmetropolitan is pretentious?
>>150693909And yet better than every conservative comic you can name.
Every time I hear Transmetropolitan, I see Space Beaver. It doesn't matter if I have the comic in front of me or not, I see Space Beaver.
>>150694436Nope
>>150693861Why hasnt anybody attempted to animate or dare i say it LA this series?It has the goods, and trannies would watch it since it has trans in the title.
>>150694385It has nothing to do with the “integrity” of the comic. The issue is cost, because it needs to be a futuristic city and that’s expensive, and difficulty of it being very niche high concept at its core so it’s hard to find a way to make it work as a movie/show when it doesn’t have a good elevator pitch and driving main storyline to focus. You wouldn’t know how to sell it because it has to be dumbed down.DMZ is a stupid comparison because while it has similar issues with budget and difficult concept to translate to a show with a simple and focused ongoing central narrative. The main problem with the HBO show was that they were originally meant to do a full length season but then COVID happened and WB suddenly downgraded the whole thing to just four episode miniseries, making it a clusterfuck when they had limited time and space to tell a story that was never intended to be done in that way.
>>150694539>trannies would watch it since it has trans in the titleRetard or bait?
It’s very much of its time, providing the kind of comfortable, shallow armchair cynicism you could afford back in the late nineties / early oughties. Funny how Ellis dedicated an issue of Planetary to John Constantine evolving into Spider Jerusalem as a critique of Vertigo as stuck in the eighties.
>>150694600He has a point
>>150694501The fact you didn't name one proves you can't.
>>150693861Fuck Gideon
>>150694600Both.
>>150693861Safe edgy leftist trash
>>150694611Nope
>>150693861>nutted but she still suckin
>>150694501Name five.
>>150693861Yes
I remember when it was popular. I didn't hate it or anything, but it didn't really click with me. I'm surprised some terminally online group hasn't tried bringing it back into the spotlight.
>>150696197That would require people to care about Ellis beyond using him as a prop to whine about cancel culture
>>150694109he doesn't actually knoweveryone itt is like "hurr durr this comic is bad" but nobody can point to any specific examples of it being badit's also telling that nobody is posting any pages, because the art is stellar and it would ruin their narrative that this comic is supposedly so bad
>>150693900On the contrary it aged pretty well, just not in the way Ellis expected
>>150696331You think people here actually want to discuss things and not bicker endlessly?
>>150696419Care to expand?
>>150693861I want his cat to try to rape me...I will turn the tables on her SO fast.
>>150693861He should never have left the mountain
>>150693861>Does /co/ like Transmet?Overall, no. It has a solid beginning and kickass ending, but the other 75% of the comic's course it just spins its wheels doing absolutely nothing. Spider doesn't grow as a person during it and doesn't learn a damn thing. The two hoes aren't even characters really.
>>150696857>Spider doesn't grow as a person during it and doesn't learn a damn thing.He doesn't have to.
>>150693861he's alright i guess
>>150693861It tries WAY too hard.
>>150699255what the fuck is that supposed to mean
/co/ overall bitched about it now because it seems like everyone on this site is a fuckin' tradcath larper. It's good, but the arc plot is kind of the weakest bit, the best stuff imo are all the single issue weird sci-fi ideas, which is where Ellis is at his best. It is kind of funny that he really foresaw the idea of a narcissist sociopath getting elected on a populist platform and then immediately fucking over his constituency and running roughshod over the governmental power structure, it's just kind of funny that his psychopath was much more neo-lib coded.
I'm only familiar with the comic because of the art I drew 9 years ago- the image was used as a profile pic at that time. About the comic itself, it's way too "safe-edgy" to continue reading...
>>150700408I'm not sure non-bongs caught on but The Smiler was very much an exaggerated Tony Blair, just as the Beast was Richard Nixon. Bob Heller was basically Trump before Trump and it's funny that even in TransMet''s dystopian future he was considered too much of a fringe lunatic to get elected.
>>150693861Ellis has a problem a lot of British writers have where he writes stories set in the US but doesn't seem to actually have a firm grasp on American culture.
>>150700520Uncanny.
>>150700520If I recall correctly the Smiler was also supposed to crib from Bush Jr. as well as Blair. It's funny because the way we think of dubya is totally colored by 9/11 and the war on terror, but his big thing was school reform, he was very much this kind of bland, affable failson going into the 2000 election.
>>150700556I feel like the future setting is far enough removed that it doesn't really matter, it even goes into how the world has become a monoculture where it's the same everywhere. It can still satirise without being accurate to present day culture.Another fun thing TransMet predicted: Stopping placing dates on things and instead referring to them simply by their distance from the present as a form of social control to get people to think>this is new, I should pay attention to it>this is old, therefore irrelevant and can be ignoredHaving read it beforehand, when that started happening for real on social media it felt fucking surreal.
>>150700768Back when Dubya was the Hitler 2 Boogaloo and every leftoid was calling him a fascist. Funny how he suddenly got REDEEM'D and is now an honored ally from across the aisle.
>>150700809It pisses me the fuck off, but the Democrats of today are basically the Republicans from 2000.This is also part of my tinfoil hat theory where Lorne Michaels is a CIA asset and part of the reason SNL exists is to launder the reputations of presidents. People don't remember that GWB was a massive shithead who made 8 years of boneheaded policy decisions, instead he's a just a little guy who doesn't give speeches very well and likes to paint dogs.
>>150700900>the Democrats of today are basically the Republicans from 2000I assume you mean the other way around.
>>150700556>I hear Transmetropolitan, I see Space Beaver. It doesn't m>>150700556Really? The City seems a lot like the clusterfuck hypermedia overdose happening in America right now. If anything, most o the Brits gotta pump their numbers of Manmade Horrors Beyond Comprehension.
Independent of whether Transmetropolitan is good or not, I would love to see it suddenly get thrust back into modern culture just to watch terminally online rightoids explode over Heller's rally, and then watch terminally online leftoids explode over the transient thing.
>>150694436Transmet is way too pro gun to be liberal
>>150700980No, the Democrats keep drifting further and further rightward as time goes on and they constantly try to appeal to some kind of mythical "center" that they think will get them the win. Which is essentially what Tony Blair did to their "liberal" party in the UK, if I understand thing correctly.
>>150701063>the Democrats keep drifting further and further rightward as time goes onWhat fucking Democrats are you talking about?
>>150701063>No, the Democrats keep drifting further and further rightwardI haven't seen them be any less anti white
>>150700980>>150701063One of you is talking about the like 5 people who run the DNC, their yes men, and their Adderall popping interns propping up vegetable senators. While the other is talking about the voter base.
>>150701025The biggest problem I have with Transmetropolitan as a whole is that Spider is genuinely just...really fucking annoying. Sure, he's supposed to be edgy and crude and whatnot but Ellis did too good a job making him insufferable. The occasional scenes where Spider or the people around him acknowledge that he's a shithead don't mean much when you have so many other scenes to explain how Spider really is the smartest and most correct and he is so much cooler than everyone else and so on. Really, the meanest thing I can say about this comic is that it did Rick Sanchez over a decade before Rick & Morty was a thing.
https://somanyofus.com/Warren Ellis abused women>We are a group of over sixty women and non-binary individuals whose utmost concern is the safety and protection of others like us. Our aim is to dismantle the systems that allow people in power to abuse that power for the purpose of serial predatory corralling, emotional manipulation, and grooming. With this goal in mind, we are sharing our stories about a man who abused his power. This statement was written with the involvement of all who have signed it.>Warren Ellis, a New York Times best-selling author, comics writer, public speaker, screenwriter, and producer, has devised and continues to follow a pattern of emotionally abusive behavior documented across more than two decades.>From our accounts, and the others who have come forward, there is clear evidence of Warren Ellis using his celebrity status and vast public platform as catalyst and shield to manipulate and groom targets under false pretenses, and to coerce private pornography and sexual exchanges. Over twenty years, femme-presenting people, often between the ages of 19 to 26, were impacted by this pathological behavior. We were all under an elaborate illusion, believing we had a friend, a mentor, a partner in this man.>To date, nearly 100 people have privately come forward with experiences regarding Warren Ellis. Given how deeply personal many of these experiences have been, only a fraction of those who have contacted us have chosen to share their testimonials on this site. We've assembled these stories in a form that keeps his targets safe from further abuse, yet clearly shows both how widely our experiences vary and also where the patterns lie.
>>150701113>>150701130This is the problem, you've been convinced that anything to the left of the the fucking John Birch Society is literally Marxism. The Democrats just tried to a run a former Attorney General with a despicable drug conviction policy and a dude who called the fucking Nation Guard on protestors as their President and VP. The one of the biggest "name" congressmen is Fetterman, who is basically just a shill for Israel and big business. And fuckin' Biden's record speaks for itself, he was only on the ticket with Obama as a salve to centrists and Dixiecrats who were worried about some uppity nigger running the white house, his politics are only just barely left at all.
>>150701232Shut the fuck up you drama obsessed cunt, we're talking about comics.
>>150701232>The scope of our interactions with Warren Ellis varies extensively in degree and duration. With some of us, it was a brief period of private messaging conducted solely online; with others, he cultivated a relationship lasting many years, involving multiple episodes of intimate physical contact. Though people are still coming forward, what’s already been disclosed covers a wide range of experiences, some seemingly harmless, some devastating. Taken in aggregate, they show a clear pattern of abuse.>We were consciously manipulated with positive and negative reinforcement, gaslighting, and other techniques of control which leave lasting psychological damage. Warren Ellis’ chronic duplicity and manipulation (particularly of young and vulnerable individuals) often rendered informed consent impossible.>Under the guise of mentorship and camaraderie, Warren Ellis insinuates himself into his targets’ daily lives, building trust and forming patterns of attachment. Once the target thinks of him as their best friend or trusted confidant, he escalates the relationship into sexual territory, usually conducted online and through intense periods of communication, but sometimes in person. When his needs are no longer being met, or he seems to be losing control in the relationship, he abruptly cuts off contact, leaving his targets with enduring emotional trauma. Many suffer a loss of self-esteem, trust in their own instincts, and in some cases, their support networks.>This approach was refined and escalated by Warren Ellis for years, focusing on control, and with sexual interactions becoming darker and more intense. Many of us continue to suffer from depression, complex PTSD, and involuntary conditioned responses to this day. His simultaneous use of the same technique on numerous people without them being aware of each other presents a crucial difference from healthy relationships.
>>150701241Comics made by an abuser.>As can be seen from the personal stories we’ve shared, Warren Ellis generally follows the pattern of manipulation outlined below. This is not a complete list, nor has he been successful using these techniques in every case.>Frequently asks his online audience via newsletters, forum and social media posts to send him messages, which he then filters for femme-presenting people with photos frequently matching his apparent preferred aesthetic (brunette or redhead, pale skin, gothic-genre appearance, often over fifteen years younger than him) ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)>Seeks private interactions with chosen targets, who are often at the beginning of their careers, experiencing financial or interpersonal difficulties, or are otherwise isolated ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)>Tests the waters and pushes boundaries for receptiveness to sexual advances ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)>Consistently emphasizes discretion ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)>Makes the target feel unique with constant compliments, interest, and, systematic, frequent contact, and other habit-forming techniques typical of operant conditioning ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)>Uses self-deprecating statements, both privately and publicly, to elicit compliments and endear himself ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)>Creates the illusion of safety and friendship, often positions himself as mentor and guide ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
>>150701241t. Ellis
>>150701259>Insinuates he can help advance careers, sometimes follows through, thus obliging his target to continue sexual relations with him; being ‘dropped’ could mean major career consequences ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)>Often lies about his personal relationship status ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)>Repetitiously remarks on a feature of his target as “hypnotic”, or causing weakness, addiction, and obsession within him ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)>Positions himself as submissive, which has a disarming effect, and purposely creates the illusion of the interaction’s onus being on the target, as he is "helpless” against them ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)>Directs targets into producing custom pornography for him, ranging in type and content from mild to extreme ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)>Attempts to control other relationships in the target’s life, both romantic and aromantic; insisting he be the only man in their life, etc. ( 1, 2, 3, 4)>Distances his targets from other women with tactics such as triangulation ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)>In multiple cases: engages in sexual video and audio exchanges ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)>In some cases: engages in in-person sexual interactions (1, 2, 3, 4 identities protected)>In some cases: engages in hypnotism ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)>Typically: juggles multiple targets while insinuating they are the only onePunishment in the form of withheld attention/affection, often but not always when the target questions his behavior or is otherwise noncompliant ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)>Abrupt termination of relationship without communication ( ghosting) ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
comes off as a dated fantasy when journalists were well-regarded instead of just closeted fed assets
>>150701271>Between Warren Ellis’ public standing as a visiting Professor to York St John University, Doctor of the University of Essex, Patron to Humanists UK and guest tutor to the Shadow Channel masters programme at the Sandberg Institute, his deception, manipulation, and the script above, our relationships with him were drastically imbalanced. Such imbalance precludes the possibility of informed consent.>The above follows a textbook pattern of adult grooming: the groomer builds up a trust or friendship with an individual while emphasizing the need for secrecy or discretion, often using favors or promises to make the individual feel indebted. Eventually, the groomer achieves the goal of their grooming, i.e. making their target receptive to their advances. To an outside observer, this pattern can seem very close to a bona fide relationship, since, by design, only the groomer is aware of the scope and direction of their scheme.>Grooming also relies on subtle techniques that leverage “compulsion loops”, which are well-established in scientific literature and video gaming, and are commonly utilized by modern businesses to achieve addiction, AKA “user retention”. Examples include daily quests in games, getting a higher reward (more “XP”, etc.) for the first game of a day, more “karma” for the first post of a day on a message board, etc. The main driver is a regular daily dopamine boost sustained over time, not unlike the brain’s response to the phrase, “I’m always here for you, sweetheart” – as so many of us read in Warren’s texts and emails every night, simultaneously, unaware of each other.
>>150701236>uh acktually anything less than full collectivization isn't *real* leftism, in fact it is basically right-wingThis might pass in your twitter bubble but to any normal person you are just a disingenuous freak.
>>150701292>3. For this insidious behavior to be recognizable, and for the systems allowing it to flourish to be dismantled. What we endured is practiced, deliberate, and not an isolated phenomenon. No one who experiences this type of behavior consents to it. The calculated dishonesty required to enable these systems removes the possibility of informed consent. We do not want to see one abuser removed only to be replaced with another, which is why we are adamant that the systems that allow these patterns of behavior to carry on unchecked be destroyed. Specific systems we’d like to see dismantled include: the “protected” status of celebrities, the limited public understanding of both abuse and consent, the way irony can be used as a shield, and the implementation of enforced and toxic hierarchies. To read more about these systems, check out our FAQ.>A final thing that some of us are open to is the possibility of a mediated transformative justice action with Warren Ellis. There is still a chance for him to be of help on a larger scale. If Warren wants to get in touch with us to start this process, we are interested in cultivating healing, accountability, resilience, and safety for all involved. Specifically, we would like to see Warren:>1. Acknowledge his actions in their entirety>2. Acknowledge his pattern of harmful behavior>3. Acknowledge that he has callously hurt people>4. Contribute to transformative work to dismantle the systems which allowed this to go on
>>150696663That anon probably mean Spider and his henchwomen fuckbuddiesBut the book is pretty timeless since the same shit happens every decade
>>150701309>To be clear, our aim is not to see Warren Ellis punished, we are here to look forward. We believe it is important to amplify awareness of a pattern to change the culture of complicity. Emotional abuse, despite not being criminalized in many places, should be recognized as a real and lasting violation. We tell these stories so that anyone can recognize the dangerous nature of this type of behavior and protect themselves and others.>We also ask those reading this to understand that writers can’t work alone, and many of the artists, colorists, flatters, letterers, editors, and other collaborators who have worked with Warren over the years still deserve recognition and support for the work they published with him.>To Warren’s supporters, we’d like to say that we felt the shock, betrayal, confusion, and anger these revelations may be bringing up in you now. We hope that, like us, you will be able to channel this new awareness into fuel for positive change in your communities, and within yourselves.

>>150696331Nigger he just called it naive, which it is by pretending a fucking writer can magically depose presidents.
>>150702820He was still huffing those Bernstein and Woodward fumes
>>150701025That's why I really liked this comic, it was a fair critique of the entire political spectrum without preaching a bunch of tripe to the reader beyond core American beliefs likes rebellion and self determination
>>150693861It's okay
>>150693861Spider was annoying. The main plot was dumb. The city was awesome and all the little worldbuilding stuff was great.
The ending is a classic case of mixing US and British poltics.I the UK, if a PM acts up enough to be an embaressment, the party room can reign him in or remove him. Assuming the aprty is old enough to not be a cult of personality.In the US, a directly elected president clearly effects the party because he is more visible and gathered enough of the population to sway the state electors. Even if the nitty-gritty of governing still rests with the representatives.

Thompson, if he was capable of more than just doing drugs and writing stories that never really go anywhere>the MC wins through investigatory journalism>dude, how naive does the writer have to be to think journalists do anything worthwhile?!This might be a shocking concept for you people, but most stories about professions tend to lean hard on the most dramatic and heroic things even if they are unrealistic, because it makes for a better story. The rookie police officer notices the clues the crime scene technicians missed entirely. The new doctor just glances at the patient and knows exactly what the problem is without needing to run a single test. The rookie soldier takes down the entire enemy squad without even getting shot once.If the plotline was "Spider writes articles, nothing happens", then everyone would be bitching about how the comic never goes anywhere and the MC never accomplishes anything.
>>150705164>there's nothing between "writes articles and nothing happens" and "deposes the sitting President of the United states with a private security firm having guns to his head"Retard
>>150705164Those anons might be too young, or weren't even born back when journalism was considered noble.
>>150705178Or are pointing out that its fucking stupid that the president of the united states is actively trying to have him murdered and he is defeated by investigative journalism and a big KAPOW to the chin. He wants to make it out as though its some real neo-noire shit except the difference in power between some small company executive or mayor and the fucking president makes the idea of exposing him for corruption as laughable as the idea of the masses ever doing shit because some columnist said they should.
>>150705164Or you know it would be less naive and more accurately portray how the public doesn’t give a shit and there’s so much false information spread around everywhere that people simply live in echo chambers or just tune out completely, rendering most journalism weak and ineffective

>>150693861I love it. It had that weird Peter K. Dick schizo vibe modern cyberpunk sorely lacks. The first fifteen or so issues that just focus on standalone stories were far and away the best. I really liked how it portrayed body modders as totally crazy but still deserving of respect which is the kind of nuanced opinion you don't see much these days. The president arc was good but I kinda wonder if it was a ripoff of Babylon 5's president Clarke arc. I do think Spider is annoying but there's a big difference between an asshole character in a story where everyone is an asshole and an asshole character in a serious story like Castlevania. It's because of Transmet that I got into other cyberpunk comics like Judge Dredd so I remember it fondly.

>>150693861The best thing about Transmet is it ended, and no adaptations or sequels are in the offing.
