Why is it so hard for Ghost Rider to have a successful book or movie? On paper Johnny, Danny, Robbie, even the new girl, should sell.Also this new captcha can blow me
>>151902681He's boring
>>151902718How so?
Figures /co/ fucking sucks about talking about comics outside of shitposting, memes, and general blanket statements of "its bad". This place has gone to hell
>>151902681It's a mystery. Outside of Danny's initial super popular run in the 90's, GR's always been a cult following character. I suppose what needs to be done is to go back to that and try to get a hold of whatever magic Howard Mackie managed to stumble his retarded ass into to create such a hit.
>>151902681He should be a hardcore Catholic, but also a slut, who takes no prisoners and fuck demon sluts.
>>151902681Imagine how kino it would be if Ghost Rider teamed up with Spider-Man and took the fight to Mephisto>>151903473That's just Daredevil except he sometimes takes prisoners and doesn't fuck demon sluts
>>151903341Unfortunately I think that was a matter of right place, right time. The 90s was the perfect era for Ghost Rider to thrive, people couldn't get enough of tough as nails characters who looked metal/undead or had some occult origin. People unfortunately don't really do that kind of stuff sincerely nowadays because they're irony poisoned and afraid of seeming too "edgy".
>>151902681I've always wondered the same.Always thought he looked cool af, I don't really see much reason for him not to be popular. Then again, I don't know that much about him aside a few stories and the movies.I guess the writer's simply don't know how to handle him. Some problems IMO are:>the Penance Stare is either too OP or does nothing>he might need a clearer or more relatable motivation>>151903263People are always more eager to discuss more modern, popular stuff, so it's understandable in a way. Still, it sucks that most actual comics discussion often gets ignored.
>>151903636>Imagine how kino it would be if Ghost Rider teamed up with Spider-Man and took the fight to MephistoThis is the only right answer to fix that problem
>>151902681>Also this new captcha can blow medo people really struggle with this captcha, like how
>>151904058Right? If anything I find it much faster than the previous one.
>>151903882Right? It would also give Ghost Rider a huge bump in popularity since he'd be known as the guy who saved Peter from editorial hell
>>1519026811. Ghost Rider is like Spider-Gwen, cool look but nothing much else.2. He suffer from modern writers and editors who can't think of anything except making a family of riders or making this c-list character a Ghost Rider. Hellverine should not exist and neither should the Hood be a Ghost Rider.3. Marvel doesn't do horror well
>>151902681Marvel writers hate Christianity since that hackjew Gerber was allowed to make a mockery of God.
you just reminded me of Ghost Rider's awesome theme in MVC3. I'm going to listen to it again right now.https://youtu.be/rf26gphwadkOoohh, I'm tingly with goosebumps
>>151905230The fact that you compare Ghost Rider to fucking Spider-Gwen of all people just shows how little you know about his material. Nearly all the riders have pathos and character, Fake Gwen does not
>>151902681>RobbieDont ever mention that little counterfeit in the same breath as Blaze or Ketch.
>>151905482Robbie is actually good though? He had two solid solo runs before fucking Aaron fucked everything up by putting him on Avengers and robbing him of everything that made him unique
>>151902681Ghost Rider doesn't work in a superhero setting. Even when compare to the setting of a magic book like Doctor Strange or Scarlet Witch, the setting of a Ghost Rider book is just ridiculous and got some outrageous claims of the overall setting on the universe. Not even a Blade book with it's vampires went full retarded like a Ghost Rider does with it's demons.
>>151905524How does that nigger still get work. Seriously.
Because who wants to identify as a superhero who is bound to go to hell when they die? Then again, since /co/ can't seem to go one minute without, a single viziepop thread in the catalogue, there are probably plenty people like that these days?
>>151905570The only thing that sets Ghost Rider apart is having definitive Heaven & Hell dynamic stuff going on. Universal good & evil fits perfectly fine in superhero settings. What doesn't is being so afraid of saying Christianity is right that you avoid outright confirming God & have to walk on eggshells with everyone else's gods & beliefs. That's lame.
>>151905482Robbie is more deserving of the Spirit of Vengeance than bullshit nobodies like Alejandra or the Hood.
>>151902681>biker guy that stares at enemiesits a dead on arrival premise, but nobody reads comics for the plot anyway
