>the comic book medium allows for every single genre to be portrayed with no restrictions>majority of capebooks are about guys in stupid tights getting out on THE STREETS to PATROL the ALLEYWAYS and stop the MOOKS Can someone explain to me why people keep reading and buying them? I don't get how characters like Hawkeye, Daredevil, and so on thrive. I don't understand how people got so obsessed with the soap opera that is Spider-Man that there were multiple spinoffs monthly retreading the same characters and stories. Punisher offers something very specific so I can see the appeal in the repetition, but all the rest I just don't get.

>>152985014>why people keep reading and buying them?People don't. It's kind of a problem.
>>152985014>Can someone explain to me why people keep reading and buying them?Look at the highest selling genre in any medium, music, TV, movies, literature, games.Maybe not stage, but that's sort of baked in by limitations.Anyway from that you'll realize there's an oroboros effect where an audience of the most common thing with the least effort drives media to be made more often.You or anyone else not liking dumb things is like someone going on a spiel about how barebones all the Fifa games are despite the sales each installment, sure that's not wrong from a critical standpoint, but that's not relevant from a businesses angle. Companies are not built for "taste", only profits.Anyway, here's Wonderwall.
>>152985014>Can someone explain to me why people keep reading and buying Why? Genuinely why do you need >people like things I don’tExplained to you?Also it seems like you just prefer noir to capes,t thats cool. I don’t know why you don’t just accept capes aren’t for you and move on.
>>152985014So you don't like capebooks, but you make an exception for Frank. Do you understand how funny that is?
>>152985014Daredevil is still around thanks to Frank Miller. He turned a regular Silver Age superhero into a full-throated street vigilante, giving him ninja skills and a Will Eisner-inspired character arc and setting.
>>152985014The whole of big two superheroes is out of touch.
>>152985014>majority of capebooks are about guys in stupid tights getting out on THE STREETS to PATROL the ALLEYWAYS and stop the MOOKSNo they aren't faggot.
>>152985014Seems to be a marvel thing. DC seems to do alright on cosmic and mystical front. Pretty much since the 90s marvel has struggled to get a serious following behind thoughs. Every cosmic book struggles, magic almost doesn't exist outside of strange to the point of anytime they want to push someone else they give them strange's job.
