Do you prefer grounded or fantastical heroes?
>>
>>151644145
Both, it's all about the execution.
>>
>>151644145
As long as it's good.
I think that fantastical heroes are harder to pull off in both plausibility and art. To me, fantasy requires a lot more work to sell it to an audience, even though the meme is "It's magic, I ain't gotta explain shit".
Of your chart, I did not enjoy some of the fantastical stuff, while I enjoyed more of the grounded ones. I found Doom Patrol, Animal Man, and Thor lacking, partially because I had already been exposed to other Morrison and myth-based comics that I enjoyed more.

>>151644145
idk

>>151644145

Grounded hero vs fantastical villain
>>
>>151644145
If I listed all my favorite superheroes, most of them would be on the grounded side.
I like superheroes that ride the line between grounded and fantastical, like Spider-Man and Iron Man, you could see them fighting street level guys but you can see also them fighting more fantastical villains.
>>
>>151644145
I like em both, but fantastical heroes have way higher highs than grounded ones usually do.

Also >>151645917, heroes are at their best when you can feasibly imagine them saving a single civilian at the same time as they’re fighting an extradimensional god

That answers nothing
Of course everything is only good if it's executed well, he's asking what you personally prefer
>>
>>151644145
Only one here that's actually grounded is Max Punisher because he's just a guy with guns. Everyone else are fantastically skilled which make them more interesting but still too silly for Hollywood.

Fantastic hero vs grounded villain
>>
>>151644145
Grounded heroes are for lazy hacks. Use your damn imagination and embrace whimsical creativity.
>>
>>151644145
Fantastical heroes are for lazy hacks. Use your damn imagination and embrace practical creativity.
>>
>>151644145
Fantastical. I'm not even sure if I'm actually into superheroes on their own I mostly just like them as a vehicle for fantasy and sci-fi.
>>
>>151646347
You're better off reading non-superhero sci-fi and fantasy because superheroes tend to water it down.
>>
>>151644145
>The Shadow: Blood & Judgment
You disgust me.
>>
>>151646450
What's wrong?
>>
>>151646433
This.
>>
>>151644154
>>151646051
NTA but in that case fantastical superheroes because they're often more on the fun side, and villains are also often more fun and less grimy feeling.
>>
>>151644145
I want a realistic, down-to-earth superhero comic that's completely off the wall and swarming with magic robots.
