Why aren't more superheroes designed in the coolest possible way?
dunno
>>155227301Because then hack frauds call their design too 90s, like Gambit or Cable
>>155227301You risk losing the 'camp' that way
>>155227301Different people have different ideas of cool. Many of them are wrong.
>>155227756So camp is the opposite of cool? Fuck camp, then. Get rid of it.
>>15522734290s were the last decade when kids still were the majority of those that read western comics
>>155227342Gambit is from the 80s and Cable looks very goofy
>>155228465No, fag
>>155227301Green Lantern design peaked here
>>155227301Because Todd and Rob got absolutely clowned onhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmLFGWAyajU
>>155227301Because it's shamefully edgy 90s to make a character look intentionally cool now.
we are living the era of 90s comic nostalgia right now though
>>155228821What's so precious about camp, and why do you hate cool shit?
>>155229881
The truth is that a jacket over spandex is COOL.
>>155227301>Why aren't more superheroes designed in the coolest possible way?>>155227768>>155228638These posts bring up some valid points that pretty much answer your question, OP.
>>155227301Isn't Kingdom Come just maxed out DC heroes
>>155227301I always thought Alan looked like a heroic version of Parallax in KC, even though I know they were going for Emerald Knight.
>>155229881Camp and cool are completely different concepts, and there is usually some overlap, people just have a tendency to use the word camp incorrectly.
>>155231144>Isn't Kingdom Come just maxed out DC heroesYes, I especially love The Flash design, just a red blur surrounded by electricity and lightning wearing the Golden Age Flash helmet, pretty fucking peak.
>>155233594And his daughter had a jacket over spandex which was COOL
>>155227301Alan Scott.. the dreepiest Green Lantern to ever drip.
>>155229881i'll take unironic camp over meta-ironic MCU humor where the writers can't seem to find the confidence in their work to play a ridiculous trope without commenting on it or subverting it.
>>155228763Gambit's first appearance is 1990 bro, same as Cable's as Cable (aka not the retcon)
>>155234837Okay, but what about cool shit? You didn't even address it.
Bottom right needs a better name but this is how the camp vs cool vs meta breakdown works. Bottom right was king for awhile so when people tried to pull away they ended up in meta because they were too afraid to make things fun. Getting up into camp or cool is just too scary for people.
>>155228925Wrong.
>>155227317Thanks anon, very helpful
