Been seeing in on TT and Twitter and braindead zoomers are hating on it of course. Personally, I'm just into Gorey Edgelord shit and nudity in my comics so I love it
>>153366012>ennis is the creator>there is gonna be a movie>the boys is ending so people are interested on new IPs with similar vibes >there is always discourse about ennis worksthat is all i can think,personally i do like crossed is not the second coming of christ but is has some good stories
A live-action movie is coming out
>>153366012Secondary effectReading Crossed is a shit experience but watching/listening videos talking about it avoids the secondaries of going through that garbage themselves to mentally prepare to Live-Action Crossed
>>153366071>there is gonna be a movieDirected by the same crazy bastard who did The Sadness, which was basically a crossed movie with the serial numbers filed off.
>>153366073I always imagined the plus sign being a bit more scabby and oozy. Like a collection of chicken pox or a bad rash, not like your skin being peeled off.
>>153366012Zoomers are HUGE believers of "its a shit but it can be salvaged"
>>153366108Sometimes it looks "boily" in the comics, other times it just looks like burnt skin
>>153366071>>ennis is the creatorSo weird that is now a sign of normie recognition
>>153366073is it gonna be an adaptation of the OG run or a total new story?, i think it would have been better if we got an anthology series based on badlands
>>153366071>but is has some good storiesagreed, if anyone think thinks its not just a playground for edgy writers to explain a story in that "universe", theyre probably "dim"
>>153366108>>153366136I think it depends of the person
>>153366139the og run, the one where this iconic scene took place
>>153366113i mean in this case is correct
>>153366162so its gonna be mostly set in england through flashbacks from an american story?that seems kinda cool i guess.
>>153366162I can barely remember this series but I'm 90% sure this was the only moment I found fun
>>153366179yeah man, a little girl being raped and beheaded is really fun
>>153366185I mean that's all Crossed is remembered for, like HTF's only legacy is its one trick horse with its gore
>>153366185Yeah, the twist about how useless the salt was got a reaction out of me. Don't moralfag to me about a drawing of a fictional girl being the victim of a fictional crime.
>>153366209You just have shit taste lmao
>>153366200>>153366209i was being sarcastic as a joke. i knew what the anon meant.
Imagine
>>153366073Normies aren't readyThey already hated 28 Years Later
>>153366219That was the one moment in the entire series to get a reaction out of me. I'm pretty sure that's how it is for most other people who read it.
Is Crossed....based?
>>153366226The fucking prospect of Crossed out of all Garth Ennis things becoming mainstream is obliterating my sides
>>153366258yeah preacher and the boys had nothing to do with it.
>>153366258>TikTok edits of Smokey could be a thing
>>153366012It's a half-decent content farm since it's got over a hundred issues with shock value stuff, and because the creators got weirdly Islamic as it went along, a huge chunk of it stops showing tits, so that makes it even easier to share.
>>153366282Until then, we'll just have to make do with this
>>153366289>and because the creators got weirdly Islamic as it went along,you have no fucking idea what youre talking about do you
>>153366108Depends on the writer/artist. Personally I like to headcanon it's a environment thing. Different place different crossed type thing. Different weather and what not
>>153366301this is at the same level of those tiktoks of HH cosplayes making faces or thinking they look bad ass
>>153366171What? It's set in America fully.
>>153366226This is like mixing old worn-out oil with orange juice
>>153366341the movie or the comic? i could have sworn patient zero was in england?
>>153366282Already a thing. Go to the subreddit
>>153366012>>153366071Shock valueIt's literally just the shock valuePeople crave itIt's why Blood Meridian got a shot in popularityEnnis' other books don't get more attention aside from Punisher Max (which is used to defend the guy)Plenty of comics get movies nobody talks aboutCrossed is just baby's first non-Marvel/DC/licensed comics material>>153366162I can't unsee Alex Yiik
>>153366341OG run and some side stories are on america, badlands is different places but mostly england,US and japan
>>153366366>Crossed is just baby's first non-Marvel/DC/licensed comics materialI thought that was Invincible
>You have to become Crossed, dude>Why?>To survive>Survive from what?>From what the Crossed is gonna do to you
>>153366012>braindead zoomers are hating on it of courseThen make your case on why they should like it then. What makes Crossed so worthy of praise?
>>153366384is crossed fandom like sonic that only attracts full turbo autist?
>>153366400kino
>>153366400who are you quoting? are you trying to point out some flawed logic?is this your excuse to how to beat the disease?
>>153366139The original is a bunch of americans traveling through canada so they can get to Alaska
>>153366400The real zombies are Humans, that's the whole point of Crossed.
>>153366408I'd assume so.
>>15336623528 years later is overrated though? Both films are like 4 stars (out of 5) on Letterbox and 7 on IMDB.A better comparison is the Taiwanese movie "The Sadness".
>>153366408More one of those "Infection AU" that started to pop up like rats after covid
>>153366390I said material for a reasonIt's below Invincible and Scott Pilgrim but it's still up there
>>153366459>28 years later is overrated though? Both films are like 4 stars (out of 5) on Letterbox and 7 on IMDB.lol, semi decent bait, is still shitty bait.
>>153366258Who do you think will get the Crossed(tm) collab? Fortnite or COD? I don't even know if Mortal Kombat is still doing crossovers or not.
>>153366481nice try but that is just a normal simpson argentinian meme and not related to crossed
>>153366263Preacher came and wentThe Boys became actually mainstream but the show fans dislike the comic and vice versa
>>153366501>filename
>>153366489>you disagreed with my post so it must be bait
>>153366496Project Zomboid maybe? The Boys recently got a VR game, could you imagine Crossed in VR?
>>153366508who are you quoting?
>>15336648928 Years Later is a british film that is defended by british people and pretentious fags, everyone else jumped ship after watch it wasn't like 28 Hours Later at all
Do most people who go "EEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWW" over Ennis know Millar exists?I know there are worse, edgier writers or at least writers as edgy as those two but Millar is arguably more mainstream than Ennis in terms of adapted works and I have seen people condemn Millar but is the only reason why Ennis gets more attention and is seen as an outlier due to The Boys being one of the more popular shows these days?
>>153366162
>>153366073You can't be serious.>looks it uphttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt1640215/you are serious. holy shit.
>>153366226Amazing
>>153366139Wish you were Here was painfully obvious adaptation bait.
>>153366012You're making it seem like zoomers have the wrong opinion on it
>>153366512>Crossed in VRNo one's touching that. Hell that Horses game got banned from store fronts and I doubt it has 20% of what Crossed brings to the table. Zomboid has too much on it's plate to be doing collabs of that size.
>>153366512There has to be a crossed CDDA mod out there, right?
>>153366384This is Pibby's faultI just know it
>>153366012>hating it onThere are fans thoughSome like the Ennis issues Others like Wish You Were Here
>it’s being directed by the guy who did The Sadness Oh shit, the movie might actually be good
>"Wish You Were Here is only good crossed story">Look inside>It's just Mouthwashing set in Crossed
>>153366659
>>153366711>MouthwashingAnon...you know Wish You Were Here came first right?
>>153366185She wasn't raped, she was torn apart. There's no kid rape in Crossed, even they have their limits pal!
>>153366720There was implied child rape in one comic (the yellow belly coward one)
Shock value sells, but Crossed also having such a good premise that’s easy to explain to people probably does a ton to help with its popularity. Even if you end up hating how most of the comic is executed, you still end up ruminating on how you’d write it differently.
>>153366258see >>153366301 I'd be willing to bet Crossed gets big on tiktok because of Boys ending and Crossed movie coming. Morbidity always sells and the yoof won't be able to look away, I bet we get a couple slenderman murder type situations out of this.
>>153366635>it wrapped up filming late last year and is currently in post production.Holy hell it’s actually getting made instead of just being something that shows up in an article once and is never heard from again lmao. We’re probably only a few months away from the marketing campaign
>>153366012Hipsters. >The boys is popular? Ugh. You guys are SHEEP. REAL chads like me like...uhh...Crossed! yeah! It's totally right wing and cool and HARDCORE!
>>153366763Art the Clown has become a semi-niche pop culture icon within the past few years. Edge is in
>There's a genuine possibility we'll reach a state where Crossed has more mainstream popularity and influence than The Walking Dead
>>153366797>Edge is inIt really is. I read all of Crossed, even the dogshit because it was so bleak (and aggressively stupid) but couldn't stomach Terrefier a few years later. >>153366801I do wonder if we'll get public moral panic about it.
>>153366801I suspect the walking dead will still be the most preferable since people can still imagine surviving and having a fighting chance in that setting, while Crossed is just downright bleak in almost every way
>>153366801nope just nope, i dont think any zombie or "infected" media is gonna ever reach the influence or popularity of TWD,the zombie boom era is already a thing from the past the only other zombie related media that i can probably say has a bit of the status that twd has could be the last of us
>>1533668012010 was fucking 16 years agoNothing Zombie-related will can hit as hard as early TWD did back in the day
>>153366831>nope just nopeKind of agree, Crossed specifically shits on all the survivor tropes. A loser fantasizing about a zombie apocalypse might loathe crossed because they'd just be a raped and tortured loser. That being said, I think it will have some decent online popularity because of how edgy and terrible it is.
>>153366771Reached so hard you grabbed by ass. The only people posting about Crossed, as OP mentioned, are the people hating on it. It'll then spiral, with a few schmuck YouTubers making videos poking fun at it and calling it meaningless edgy and problematic. Which their talking points will be regurgitated onto the web ad nauseam. Until some other YouTuber comes around and say >Uh this actually rocks and it's greatwhich will spark flamewars on every reply section of X franchise posts.Same as it happened to the Boys. People were dogpiling on the comic because every big "Internet man" said it sucked, that it was meaningless edge and just Ennis being hateful towards Super Heroes. Then a few people actually picked the comic up, and by S3 you already had people defending the comics as being superior to the TV show.
>>153366846>>153366831I meant like in present dayThe Walking Dead is saturated and milked and the original show fell apart almost as bad as Game of Throne's final seasonAn animated adaptation closer to the comics is something Kirkman and fans want but I don't think the general audiences would as enthusiastic
>>153366860>The only people posting about Crossed, as OP mentioned, are the people hating on it.There are fansYeah a lot of people are hating it but there are indeed fans of it and Ennis' other workThe usual suspects like his Punisher comics, Nick Fury comics, Preacher, etc but even The Boys has its defenders
>>153366235It got good reviews from those who saw it. The problem was that when you take away all the metaphor for Brexit, there's just nothing 28 Years Later does that we haven't seen done before in other zombie and post apocalyptic media.
Is Crossed still being published? I remember the Alan Moore series ending with a cliffhanger.Also>you will live in a world where Crossed becomes so mainstream to the point where artists will start making their own quirky OCs and shipping with them with comic characters
Is Avatar Press still in legal limbo are they selling Crossed trade reprints?Cause if they're not and all these people are just pirating, man whoever's in charge must be ripping their hair out
>>153366864I think it'd be popular. Not as much as the show was back in the day, obviously. But think about it, normalfags that watched the show would probably want to check out at least the first few episodes, some would want to see what are the differences between the show and the cartoon.And it's a lot easier to get "your mom" to watch a TWD animated show than something like Invincible.
>>153366877I'm not saying Crossed doesn't have fans, dub of sevens. I'm saying the push we're seeing on social media comes from people hating on it.
>>153366864>animated TWDwould be cool but seeing how invincible animation is a quality roller coaster no thanks
>>153366864The good news is that the crossed movie have to tone back the (at least directly on screen) sexual violence, which could help cause some of the comic’s strongest moments are when the horrific shit is left up to your imagination
>>153366012How come losing all inhibitions only make the Crossed rapists and kilelrs? Where's the infected that just want to shove junkfood into their mouths while doing jackass bits with their friends?
>>153366879What metaphor for Brexit? I keep hearing about it, but no one explains it.
>>153366816Crossed was specifically made to shit on the survivor fantasy to the point that the absolutely dogwater nonsense Anti-Crossed comic exists
>>153366920Are online apocalypse prepper survivor know it al types still a thing?I thought sigma males replaced them?
So....when is the super Nazi comic getting mainstream?
>>153366907Technically it would be way easier to animate a less action oriented story. But with Kirkman's bullshit, you just know he'd waste the budget getting some big name to voice Rick and the gang.Not even to think of the other bullshit he'd add. Race swaps, keeping characters around for longer/rewriting the story, folding to some non-existing pressure and adding Daryl
>>153366913I’ll be upset if they don’t fully adapt the soggy biscuit scene, cause that’s a great humor-to-oh-SHIT moment once they realize what the crossed are actually doing
>>153366939Not until it gets an ending.
>>153366944>getting some big nameHe'd mostly get the actors from the AMC show
>>153366012People pointed out that that gookslop movie is a ripoff of it so all the k-culture stans have to come out of the woodwork to trash it.
>>153366879>The problem was that when you take away all the metaphor for Brexit, there's just nothing 28 Years Later does that we haven't seen done before in other zombie and post apocalyptic media.Because it isn't a traditional zombie movie. Its more like a medieval fairytale with ghouls, trolls, a viking and a wizard that can help an isolated village's archer boy save his mom but wearing the skin of a Zombie Apocalyse setting.
>>153366012The niche for extreme horror literature has grown a lot in the 2020's, with reddit and tiktok being its biggest consumers
>>153366961>k-cultureIt's capeshittersThey find out Ennis hates superheroes, get curious, find out about Crossed, and proceed to vomit and make it everyone's problem online
>>153366968is any of these any good, i know the appeal is gore but am talking about having a good actual premise and a decent ending
>>153366560>Do most people who go "EEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWW" over Ennis know Millar exists?Not really. Despite his influence and having a lot of success (Kingsman, Wanted, Kickass) most people don't know he was the one behind those movies. >Kick-Ass and Wanted are over a decade old and the films look almost nothing like the comics they're based on. >Jupiters Legacy and Super Crooks were both cancelled after one season, >The last kingsman movie underperformed so kingsman four likely isn't happening >He was a consultant for Logan, but it was a major departure from his original Old Man Logan comicIt seems he's moved away from making film adaptations of his comics and wants to focus on making comics, not film pitches that happen to be comics.
>>153366991>It seems he's moved away from making film adaptations of his comics and wants to focus on making comics, not film pitches that happen to be comics.Is that because Netflix is kicking themselves over buying Millarworld or because Millar genuinely just wants to make more comics regardless if they can be adapted or not?Or both?I have gripes with Millar but I do think he sincerely likes comics even if he helped what I'd call the "gentrification" of comics via breaking into Hollywood.He pays well, he gets along with everyone who isn't Grant Morrison, and I assume(?) he took into heart what those LCS owners told him when he was looking for advice on how to help their stores (they literally call out how all he makes are limited series')
>>153366073at least halloween costumes will be cheap
>>153366985A fraction of a fraction.Jack Ketchum's works are the only ones I would recommend for someone who's not into this genre, but only because he's a genuine good author
>>153367037We're gonna see so many "established character but infected by the Crossed" cosplay aren't we?Superman CrossedGoku CrossedShrek CrossedK-Pop Demon Hunters CrossedHomelander CrossedCharlie Kirk CrossedAnd so on, so forth
>>153366920>Crossed was specifically made to shit on the survivor fantasyHow does this work when you need to totally change the type of zombie? Its like saying "you wouldn’t survive in the world of pokemon!!" then on your story making pokemon all psychos and torturing humans on sight. What you are writing is not what the other is refering to.
You guys are overestimating how successful that crossed movie will be
>>153366918>England is isolated from the mainland and isn't getting any help to fight the virus. >Like England isn't getting economic help from the EU anymore after Brexit.>Main characters home is an island off the coast of the mainland >Much like England itself is an island off the coast of mainland europe>Survivors have nostalgia for a past england that wasn't as good as they remember. >This is embodied in the Jimmys obsession with Saville, and Spikes obsession with Ivanhoe. >The island village is extremely religious, people dance around in masks with crosses, and attend church>This reflects a modern return of the british people to religion in the wake of recent major crisises. >The main infected of the movie Samson is a big hairy brown man>The overall story being about how an unstoppable horde of mindless savages have returned the british to the dark ages >Do I even need to say how that has become very relevant after the migrant crisis?
>>153367057>Homelander CrossedHomelander would probably be like the character Salt the serial killer in the comics. A character who was already so mentally fucked up before he was infected the disease doesn't do really do anything to him.
>>153366496Dead By Daylight?
>>153367086>>153366920Basically it was Garth Ennis taking one look at all the armchair survivalists and preppers who said they'd totally survive a Zombie apocalypse and saying 'no you wouldn't here's why'.Realistically the kind of zombies that would cause an apocalypse wouldn't be the Walking Dead ones, they're too slow, too predictable, too easy to kill. Humanity even in a worst case scenario would be able to clear them out in a few years and restart civilization. To cause a total collapse of civilization, The zombies would have to be able to think and strategize and get around the usual traps and plans that the average apocalypse preppers have.
>>153367163>Realistically the kind of zombies that would cause an apocalypse wouldn't be the Walking Dead ones, they're too slow, too predictable, too easy to kill. Humanity even in a worst case scenario would be able to clear them out in a few years and restart civilization.I remember the logical consensus being that zombies would just decompose in a week tops
>>153367017>Or both?A bit of both. But I also theorize it's because Millar came out of the closet as a conservative. He went on Critical Drinkers podcast to talk about the state of comics and Film, and got into it with Mark Waid over Marvel and DC blacklisting certain people for their politics. So him pivoting back to comics might be because some of his business opportunities in film and TV have dried up.
>>153367180>Millar is a chudHuh. Legitimately didn't see that coming.
>>153367163>The zombies would have to be able to think and strategize and get around the usual traps and plans that the average apocalypse preppers have.Then they aren't zombies anymore, they're something else.
>>153366920>Crossed was specifically made to shit on the survivor fantasy?????Ennis literally said that he got the whole idea from a nightmare he had, plus the comic itself repeatedly states that the crossed are doomed and that in the end humanity will rise again despite everything at it best is more about "le we are the real monsters"
>>153367187>>153367180I don't think Millar's some sort of chud, I think he's one of those "Why can't we all get along" types who can't picture exactly why people hate each other so much
>>153367206>>153367187He's a catholic who grew up in a tough and violent scottish neighborhood. So he's a bit more down to earth about things than idealists like Morrison or Waid.
>>153366985Gone To See The River Man and Jack Ketchum have that.The most disappointing is The Black Farm, it has all you want in a story, but then the sequels ruin everything.The rest just suck in terms of story (except Zola never read it)
>>153367163>To cause a total collapse of civilization, The zombies would have to be able to think and strategize and get around the usual traps and plans that the average apocalypse preppers have.Except that by that point you are not doing zombies, just angry living niggas. Its like you heard someone saying that they would do well in a math test, then showing up with a literature test, with the excuse of "eveythung is technically mathematics"
>>153367089it will if they adapt the psycholesbian teenage incest japs(they won't THE PUSSIES)
>>153367176>>153367191Well the crossed aren't walking corpses. They still need to eat,drink, sleep. And how they get around not having food during the lean eras is very dark.
>>153367225>Except that by that point you are not doing zombies28 Days later is still considered a zombie movie, and the infected in those movies are very much still alive and not walking corpses.
I still find it funny /co/ concluded the ultimate hard counter to the Crossed are Care Bears
>>153367191"iiiiiNNNfECTeeeeD" is just a fancy way to say zombies
>>153366503>Preacher came and wentPreacher couldn't find an audience, and in todays world shitting on christianity is to satire what the fart joke is to comedy. Less is more.
>>153366945They'll probably replace the biscuit scene with feces, or blood instead of man milk.
>>153367191It's either Infected like Left4Dead or doomsday stuff like The Flood of Halo
>>153366968100% Match is legit just Scrotie Mcboogerballs
>>153367057>Charlie Kirk CrossedOh God. I hope not. That would piss literally everyone off.
>>153366977I'm very curious as to how they're going to market The Crossed. You can't really imagine they'll be marketing this as 'from the creator of The Boys" on the poster. Because The Boys for all it's many issues in both the show and comic, knew when to hit you with some comedy to lighten the tone. You're horrified when you see Homelander kill or assault someone, but then you laugh when you see a superhero who's power is a prehensile penis. There's almost no comedy to take the edge off in a Crossed story. It's pure shock value for shock values sake.
>>153367357>There's almost no comedy to take the edge off in a Crossed story.HORSECOCK
>>153367365>almostKeyword
>>153367357>You can't really imagine they'll be marketing this as 'from the creator of The Boys" on the poster.anon that is literally how things are promoted when they have a common creator
>>153366560millar is conservative edgy and it was toned down in the films
>>153367375Yeah but the only thing The Boys and Crossed have in common is that they're edgier versions of typical genres (Superheroes and Zombie Apocalypse) other than that they couldn't be more different.
>>153367394so basically if i create 2 different products the marketing team isnt allowed to use my name to promote the stuff just beacuse the only thing they share in common is my name even if is statically possible that fans of the first product will want to watch other product i do just because am the creator
>>153366985say what you will about the rest but Playground has a pretty poignant ending
>>153367394Yeah and they still marketed Invincible as "From the creator of The Walking Dead"
>>153366012This 32 year old faggot is so reactionary he got ragebaited into pretending he likes a comic by Garth Ennis
>>153367191>>15336722528 X later and L4D have infected that are still considered "zombies". Even the zombies we're used to are a modernized version of zombies. Zombies were originally a Voodoo thing, similar to the ones in that one Scooby-Doo movie. It's just the evolution of the idea.>Undead back from the grave through magic to hurt the living>Undead back from the grave due to science gone wrong>Science gone wrong causing people to lose their minds and hurt the "living"
>>153366071>>the boys is ending so people are interested on new IPs with similar vibesCrossed is nothing like The Boys tho. Especially not the Seth Rogen version of the Boys.
>>153366503>>153367279Preacher is a very 90s piece of media. Having the showrunners get things wrong, partly by updating it to present day, did it no favors.
>>153367709Would it have had better staying power if it was animated?
>>153367711Not really, unless the animation was great on its own, since it usually isn't. It would have to have been made in the 90s for it to really work, or a major overhaul instead of a halfass update.
>>153366012You’ve been making this thread for five years. Get a life or end your life already.
>>153366012There is no need for an adaptation, since the perfect Crossed movie was made in Taiwan already.
People on TikTok are really into edgy subculture and stuff like that now, so. That’s probably why it got popular in the first place. Loads of people are making edits of school shooters, pedophiles, and all sorts of criminals. So they would naturally gravitate to this.
>>153368564>gen alpha is becoming old /b/Fucking called it. Based beyond belief, deliver us from the culture wars, underageb&s.
>>153366012imagine if they adapted any of the lapham shit like family values or psychopath lel
>>153368564>>153368593They are becoming worse.The amount of kids I've seen talking about guro porn and deepweb mixtapes like it was nothing is fucked up.Discord was a mistake
>>153367106don't forget the euthanasia stuff. Overall I did like the movie but it was a lot less subtle then the first one in the slopoganda department
>>153367249>>153367269>>153367673They are fast, but are stupid like zombies.The thing about crossed is that it doesn't make you work or act like a zombie, you have your entire mind and memmories, you just become a crazy murder nigga.Nothing really says "zombie" on them apart from the fact that they are infected with somethig.
>>153368564So you're telling me Gen Alpha>can't read>have attachment/boundaries issues due to the quarantine>are porn addicts>glorify criminal behavior (either from Black culture or Serial Killers)>have pre-installed ADHD from burning their dopamine receptors at age 2>think figures such as Epstein are simply jokesOh yeah the future looks great! Thanks Millennials!Sincerely I can only hope Gen Z does a better job at raising their kids. But I fear they're already too fucked ideologically and their kids will suffer from it. I keep seeing Rightoids who want to bring back beating your kids, and I don't even need to mention the Leftard counterpart.
>>153368593>>153368610>>153369777There's also racewars on TikTok where each side posts edits of various killers with their killcount at each other. I've seen a black nationalist edit of Axel Rudakubana and a white nationalist edit of Brenton Tarrant and both get tens of thousands of likes. I think if you're a sociologist type figure and are interested in what the youth are doing, this is something interesting to look at. Just install TikTok and search up phrases like 'blackpill' and '764' or even just names of killers and you'll be bound to instantly see stuff like this. Even if the majority of people aren't like this, people hearing about normieshit like looksmaxxing and the blackpill can send them down a rabbithole to this sort of stuff.
>>153369777>I can only hope Gen Z does a better job at raising their kidsTripstruth. I am seeing it among older millenials and younger zoomers, they are pretty sensitive to screens for kids. My toddler gets some television during the day but we don't use phones around her and she has no access to tablets, will not have access to them.
>>153366012New things stopped being made somewhere around 2007 so the bug (and creatively bankrupt) studios will drag out small franchises to ressurrect(enshittify) because it:s all they can do at this point.When was the last time you've heard if a new comicbook IP? Not tied to Marvel or DC in any way.Literally every shitty niche series ever made WILL be brought back.Wait for when they shit out a 12 episode netflix show based on No Hero.And then extend it into a 5 seasons shitslop stream
>>153366012>>153366073>Original run's adaptation.>Not I Wish You Were HereAlr
>>153366991What influence did Wanted have?It was just kinda mediocire and pointless with some cool art and silly worldbuilding.
>>153369981It's "funny". Our society had a supposed "satanic panic" (it wasn't really a society-wide panic as a lot of people like to portray it as) back when it didn't really matter. But now that you actually have satanic terrorist groups harming and enlisting teens you barely hear about it. I have yet to see 1 politician mention it; I have yet to see 1 religious figure mention it; and I have yet to see 1 prominent Left wing figure address it without saying it's "extreme right wingers" (which they aren't, it's a ridiculous statement even if you're playing some 4D chess Accelerationism bullshit).In fact, and to keep on topic, these kids would probably look up to a Crossed-like scenario. Hell they already try to emulate the behavior, "beat by beat".
>>153370104"Curve the bullet" parodies in shitty TV shows/movies.
>>153370106I think in part because the America that cared about the Satanic Panic is mostly gone and is at least not prominent online. Their ideaological descendants are and they are a lot crunchier. While I think they care and know, social media has people that look for it drown in blackpills, totally overloaded. The 764 stuff is really crazy because its real and these people are not unknown. Look at the freakshow that was flooding a bunch of the chans and kiwifarms with CP. That guy has a name, address, and the feds know he's doing it but he hasn't been stopped.
Aron Beuregard's stuff sucks. It's the definition of pointless gore. All of his books are 12 pages of setup and then the antagonist rapes and kills and literally eats poop and then spits it up and licks the poop vomit and jerks off and rapes his semen puddle.I genuinely just turned to picrel whenever i've read his "work".Woom is kinda good and The Black Farm is just isekai Berserk which is kinda cool. Idk the rest.
>>153366968I think book covers should really just be a blank page with the title and authors name. Anything else is the most tasteless garbage imaginable. Just look at this stuff.
>>153366968>>153370281
>>153366968The entire "extreme horror" genre is shocking in that I cannot believe people read this, and build an identity around reading this. Instant retard classification.
>>153368564>>153368593Skibidi Toilet dying caused this btw
>>153368564>>153369777Are they unable to separate fiction from reality or is that still a Gen Z thing?
>>153369777>Oh yeah the future looks great! Thanks Millennials!It unironically does, you're very welcome. I have been waiting for the gay online SJW/tradlarper axis of miserable zoomer moralfaggotry to fuck off for a decade now, if gen alpha end it by being edgy fuckers who don't give a shit (just like 2000s 4chan) I will be very happy. Bring back the good times, alphaggots.
>>153370104>What influence did Wanted have?Well it was one of the first successful non superhero comic to movie adaptations, and it got Millars foot in the door to begin his 'comic book to movie pitch to actual movie' pipeline.
>>153366012I have Garth Ennis fakefans fatigue.EVERY CRITIQUÉ ABOUT GARTH ENNIS POST TV ADAPTATIONS IS NOT VALID
>>153371424But... It was a superhero comic
I hope the movie’s good, I really liked The Sadness so this director can probably pull this off
>>153371527Yeah but the adaptation wasn't.
>>153370216The problem with groups like that, of "Terrorgram", is that most of them are decentralized. As long as there's 1 node left, it can multiply. And it does so fast, as kids are extremely nihilistic in today's World. And on the other hand are still gullible and end up in compromising scenario, which in turn will propagate the groups even further.>>153371109We can't really tell for certain as they're still very young. But I wouldn't be surprised if the trend continued. Wouldn't be surprised if it got worse. Everyday we dive deeper into a surveillance state, be it either AI cameras or Zuckerberg's Glasses filming your every move. This often leads to paranoia and a self-enforcement of supposed societal "rules".>>153371308Is that's really what you got from reading my post? That we're going to return to>pools closed!?I don't know where this notion of 4chan being "le edgelord" site came from, I see it from a lot of BasedTeens who get disappointed we don't have raids anymore. There's a big difference from typing slurs and watching War/3rd World Gore videos to the stuff these groups have been doing. Plus what's the point of dropping "moralfaggotry" but also dropping any sense of intelligent behavior. They're not watching Ice Poseidon and laughing at him being retarded and getting fucked, they're watching some black retard driving 150 on a busy road with a rented car.
>>153366968I do like the more abstract horror covers. As a child I used to read some mediocre horror books, but the cover arts were drawn by Hans Arnold and they were honestly far more interesting than the stories themselves.
>>153368511The director for this is the one doing the Crossed adaptation.
>>153366968I've heard that Cows is really good.
>>153367163Aren't Crossed shown multiple times to be incredibly retarded? Like in Wish You Were Here they fall for the car distraction every single time. They act on instinct with no real strategy, which is ehy Horsecock was such a threatening villain, because he could think and show restraint. The only reason why they're a serious threat to survivors is for the same reason as in all zombies media. That being the survivors being more retarded than the walking corpses.
>>153367238Realistically the Crossed would last a month tops if this were real. They're still humans behind all the murder and rape, so infections, climate, poor hygiene, and them just killing each other off just as gleefully as with non-infected would be enough to do them in. That's not even getting into the military absolutely mowing them down after the initial outbreak.
>>153372941There's always a crossed with good impulse control leading the others, thus allowing them to be a lot more dangerous to the uninfected than your usual zombie apocalypse. Horsecock in the original series, Smokey in Badlands, and Salt in plus one hundred.
>>153373136All it takes is for one retard to go >Nuh yet, more rape the more we waitAnd suddenly a horde of animals evolces into a proper warband.
>>15336710628 years was replacement propaganda just like the first one.
>>153373525>more rape the more we waitI'm hanging that on my wall.
>>153370038That's TV material after the movie is somewhat succesfull
>>153373525Isnt thats how the Nun from IWYWH turns her random band into a proper millitary force?If i recall correctly she just hangs out with the group as they rape and keeps repeating "Boring" and "Make it last longer." On repeat.All she does is re-teach delayed gratification to the infected.
>>153375713>>153375713>All she does is re-teach delayed gratification to the infectedThat's also what Salt did in Plus One Hundred, although he also built it into the new religion he made, making it a central part of the doctrine of their religion is why his type of crossed is as dangerous as they are.
>>153366341He's confusing it with a later crossed story 'The Lethal Englishman' where the last three surviving members of the British Special Forces travel deep into enemy territory with intent to set off a nuclear reactor to kill a large number of the infected to give england a fighting chance things don't go according to plan
>>153366162The scene where the human survivors have to kill an entire pre-school class to keep them from being turned and tortured by the crossed is probably going to piss a lot of people off.
>>153372704It's good in a disgusting way. It's very memorable to me, but I wouldn't call it high art.
I think the first Crossed holds up pretty well. Yes it's extremely edgy but the focus is still more on fear and tension than constant gore. You get a redemptive but depressing message when the protags losing their humanity to live on isn't worth it to them, and the relationship between Thomas and Kelly is genuinely extremely unusual in any kind of fiction like this.After that I think the only one that's any good is the first part of +100. You could do both of these as single season TV series back to back and I think they'd work pretty well, shot and chaser. Of course that's not how streaming TV works so they'd end up all memed out and all about the shock value and forced to run for more seasons.
>youtubers are unironically going to be using words like Unalive and Grape when reviewing the movie
>>153375338As long as they don't bother with +100 so we can just assume all the crossed will die out within less than two decades
>>153377495>less than two decadesTry like 3 years. Forget exposure, it'll be AIDS, baby..
>>153366930They were a considerable target demographic during bitcoin, but it's hard to know which ones were not larping to push shit
>>153377530It would be interesting to tackle something like that, imagine if the crossed just died out within 5 years or so and what's left of humanity came together and had the biggest "what the fuck was that all about" moment
>>153377453Soon all their filter will be replaced by 100+ like speech
>>153377495the crossed virus sometimes feels like a malevolent entity that just woke up one day and said "you know what? fuck humans" with how much it manages to keep the infected alive despite everything pointing that they all should've died out way faster, not fucking prosper
>>153377648It's implied to be supernatural in nature, so some of the plotholes can be forgiven if we assume the virus gives them superhuman immunity and endurance
Welp, I know what they're DEFINITELY cutting out
>>153366968Things have gotten worse since we last spoke has a cool cover, is it any good?>>153367221>The most disappointing is The Black Farm, it has all you want in a story, but then the sequels ruin everything.how so?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYm7cjltqzE
>>153366890>Is Crossed still being published?The last entry was in 2018, which, by the way, reads like a Twilight-style YA novel in which a woman and one of Salt’s disciples fall in love and start a human–Crossed alliance
>>153377453>"Dude so like, this show is as if you got a virus that turns people into Epstein and Diddy, like straight up its that bad!">"So we got the Epsteins here invading and doing... y'know... Epstein things">"You know, I think you gotta be very messed up as a person to enjoy this, like, like you probably need some therapy, touch some grass you know.">"And this Ennis guy definitely needs to have his hard drive checked, because oh boy, how could you come up with something like this... AND THEN MAKE IT A COMIC!"It'll be total AIDS. Don't even think about the AI edits that'll be done with the show.
>>153377848You think this is edgy? There was a cover showing a christian, jewish and muslim crossed singing together on the temple mount as white phosphorous rained down on all of them burning them all alive. It's about as edgelord as you can get, you definitely couldn't get away with cover like it nowadays.
>>153377863>how so?Typical sequel that retroactively makes the first story worse. The book is the novelization of the Black Farm creepypasta by the same author, so, like the majority of horror creepypastas, it starts creepy while slowly turning more and more chuuni with each subsequent chapter
>>153379463Reminds me of Jeff the killer. Back in my days, he was just an antisocial kid, who got burned up and cut his mouth open. Nowadays, from what I've skimmed through, he became some sort of cult leader, with possibly paranormal powers? They also gave him a girlfriend?
>>153366985Off-season is good. It's very Hills Have Eyes since it was inspired by the Sawney Bean story
>>153366496DBD is the most likely prospect. They're essentially horror Fortnite with how many IPs they keep pulling.
>>153367191One of the earliest types of film zombies could literally think and speak.
>>153378804>"The movie could have taken a hint from The Boys to make the political commentary more hard hitting and clear about who they're making fun of, I would have had all the infected wearing red hats but that's just me"
>>153379979This.>and bring more brains!
>>153378410i wished we got more of that it was actually pretty interesting
So what happens if the show flops and becomes just a season or two of streaming fodder?
>>153382620is a movie not a series and if it flops probably nothing gonna happen it just gonna be another gore-zombie movie from the pile of gore-zombie movies but if is succesfull probably we gonna see crossed revive and reprints of the comics idk if new comics are possible sisnce avatar has the rights and i think they are in the limbo of still existing but a sequel would be the next logical move
>>153378410Yeah the 100 really went off the rails once Moore stepped away. Even the Spurrier stuff totally changed the voice of Salt and replaces the pseudo-conlang with a bunch of memey vocal tics in the characters. It's a shame because I love Salt as a villain, it's such a fun idea.
>>153366073we already got oneit's called 'The Sadness'
>>153366073>>153366012Crossed will never happen. Too edgy. At best you will get a more censored movie like The Sadness
>>153366704Cool, the guy seem to really be a fan of Crossed. The Sadness felt like literally the same setting but in China
>>153366801It will never be as popular. TWD was appealing also to parents, old boomers and teens. I seen all of them on facebook discussing the show and getting mad at Andrea shooting Merle. TWD was like the new Alf or Cosby Show that everyone enjoyed. There is no way Crossed would get any audience other than edgy male young adults and chuds. Anyone else would just try to spare the gore to their GF's and family
>>153366720>Not knowing about the farm girl who talks about her daddy fucking her while her guts are splayed outMoralfagging for Ennis shit when even Moore called it ghoulish is a massive cope.
>>153376483The Nun made her band stop raping itself by teaching them racism/nationalism.Basically those who could.do delayed gratification saw themselves as better and that high of enacting a supremacist ideology hit the same pleasure centers rape does so they held themselves to a higher standard.Pretty interesting take ngl
