There is a difference between Western comic books (superhero) and Eastern manga (mostly shonen) in terms of archetypes.
In capeshit, archetypes define powerset. The flying brick is super strong and can fly: Omni-Man, Superman, Homelander, and Gladiator all have pretty much the same powerset, but different personalities.
In manga, archetypes are about personality: tsundere, kuudere, or the goofy glutton main character like Luffy or Goku. But despite similar personalities, all of them have different powers.

What if we could have characters with different personalities AND different powers?

It’s because in America caste is determined by your appearance and in Japan caste is determined by what you studied in high school

The powers are always "punch/stab hard"

"No."
DaDaDan is the only ongoing shonenslop with good lineart

When you have to make weekly chapter, the artwork is going to suffer a bit. I find manga that are release biweekly, it tends to look better.

What kind of "Dere" is She-Hulk?
Surely there isn't one for obnoxious?

>>153135835
Power systems, that's what makes the difference, chakra, stands, curse energy, quirk, etc... it provides the most insane types of powers, only in manga and anime can you get a guy who's ability is to erase a portion of time (king crimson is confusing as fuck still) it allows for more varied writing and strategies the characters have to figure out, soft counters and hard counters or simply outwitting the opponent

In comics it's about a particular weakness like kryptonite or literally the colour yellow, and the powers pretty much fall into three categories, the superman type, the spiderman type, and the literal omnipotent god type which makes them pretty boring (not spider man tho spidey is the goat i am not biased.)

Couple that with the recycled characters who seem to never die and always comeback or is "le alternate timeline" and things just get boring

Manga >>> Comics. (except for Spiderman because Spidey>>>everything)

consistent writing thanks to manga being written by a single author. No retcon bullshit.

Inb4 "but French" they copy the format and the codes but they are manga the same way Avatar is an anime.

Spider-Man doesn't have any good comics.

>the powers pretty much fall into three categories, the superman type, the spiderman type
Jesus this is so retarded. Do you even read comics and not base your opinions on the garbage normalfags say? Almost any character like Hyperion, Sentry, and Plutonian exists just because they're parodying, satirizing, or deconstructing Superman. Not enough of them to say that they're a real category. And most spidermanlike character failed, so they don't copy him a lot.
>the literal omnipotent god type which makes them pretty boring
They can be interesting ffs, there are many good runs. And what about the street level characters???!
Seriously, did you just watch the new shitty movies and shows?
>In comics it's about a particular weakness like kryptonite or literally the colour yellow
I can't believe that kryptonite and yellow broke normalfags so much. Not everyone has specific weaknesses, and when someone has it they can't be used in every story because it would be boring
>"le alternate timeline"
>implying good stories don't exist
Sorry for behaving like an autist. I wouldn't mind if you just said that you prefer manga, but your arguments against western heroes are full of misinformation

>>153153871

Wait a second, in superhero team books, the serious leader guy, the semi-loner guy who butts heads with the leader, and the dedicated smart guy tend to have different power sets even though the personality archetypes are repeated.
