>>219077200*unless it is about prison rape
>>219077200As if humans are supposed to magically stop liking something when they turn 18.
Too bad 90% of comics are pozzed now, like spiderman getting a 5 paragraph lecture from negro spiderman
>>219077200even female superhero movies?
>>219077200I see superhero movies as just a subgenre of sci fi/ fantasy. how is thor or iron man etc different from baron Munchausen, stardust Star wars or clash of the titans? I mean to each their own. anyone that obsessed over what media other people consume is loser and likely narcissist of some flavor. I don't really give a shit what anyone thinks about how I entertain myself and that goes exponential when it is a urinalist for some subversive Jewish rag
The self respecting adult has a 9-5, comes home to watch the latest trough dump on netfix, listens to his fat wife shit-test him, and raises his child that has 30% chimeric DNA from a tyrone she fucked in college.
>>219077345>nowMore than a decade already.
>>219077393I haven't read a comic since I was a kid so idk you're probably right.
Unfortunately corporations have figured out that adults are a lucrative market for childish slop
>>219077303*10and yes
>>219077200what kind of weird person respects themselves? what does that even mean
>>219077601>>219077303This reminds me of when I was a kid, all the way up until 5th grade my friends and I would play tag pretty much every day at recess, like every single day. Summer vacation, after that we go to middle school, 6th grade. I walk up to my friend at recess expecting to play tag and he says we're not supposed to play tag anymore because we're in 6th grade. Pretty much everyone except the sportsball kids then would spend every single recess standing around talking.What a stupid stigma, middle schools and high schools should have jungle gyms and encourage fucking around so we don't all end up fat.
>>219077487samfag OP. you made this thread because you spent hours making this retarded fucking meme with no thread to post it in. What a fucking loser. touch grass incel, the last thing in this world you are qualified to speak on is how someone else is wasting their time
>>219077200>manosphere grifter retardationShan't be caring
>>219077255This
>>219077200I agree. Grow the fuck up.
>>219077200The author is probably a cuck or some kind of embarrassment
>>219077200I agree with not buying comics but you can rewatch superhero movies you liked when you were a kid, you just can’t watch new ones. My grandpa is always watching cowboy movies he watched when he was a kid and they’re just as lame and gay as superhero movies.
fuck off with this boomer bullshit. You think people in the 1800's stopped reading sherlock holmes when they turned 25? Nobody gave a fuck about what art you consumed until THEY turned it into a pretentious minefield of pseudointellectuals clawing for attention
>>219077200Instead they should watch grown men throw balls around. Doing that is masculine and true adulting!
>>219077964>cartoons>cartoons, japan
>>219077964Is Berserk actually good? I always make fun of tranime fans, but the Trump eclipse meme got me looking into it some and some of it seems kino, but the griffith guy looks like a literally tranny.
>>219077200Lost me at self-respecting
Hes right but only because they are shit, not that the mediums are inherently wrong for adults to consume.
>>219077200It's better to admit you failed to grow up than to be a humiliated bro-culture retard.
>>219078146>but the Trump eclipse memeYou are in no place to make fun of anyone, faggot
>>219078513And why is that?
>>219078146If you ignore everything after they rescue Griffith from the king who imprisoned him for banging his daughter
>>219078138berserk isn't a "cartoon"
>>219077361For the longest time, the main problem with capeshit was that every character/team's first film had to be the origin story, and origin stories are dull. Iron Man was the first capeshit film to put an interesting twist on the standard origin tale ("I'm Iron Man.") but it was also the last to do so.
>>219078146that's funny, I make fun of retards to say shit like "tranime"
>>219077795Uh oh melty
>>219078568>origin stories are dullmidwit take
>>219078146it's edgelord slop
>>219077200Jokes on them, I'm not self-respecting
>>219078619Big bait. Too big, too rough, more like a hunk of raw edge.
It's funny because the people who say shit like this never say what exactly should a self-respecting adult watch.
>>219077303You shouldn't be into comic books or super heroes at age 18. It should start seeming offensively gay around middle school.>>219077601Correct>>219077717Tag good Comics bad
>>219078582That doesn't change the fact that most anime is for dudes who like sucking dick.
>>219077964>You think people in the 1800's stopped reading sherlock holmes when they turned 25?I think comic books are gay and any adult who likes them is a fat retarded neckbeard faggot who cries about drumpf every day.
>>219078146>Is Berserk actually good?No, it's tranime.
What does constitute an adult film? Even celebrated classics of cinema like Chinatown have cornball shit in them that's just as silly and/or unbelievable as any capeshit.https://youtu.be/wnrdetFAo1o
>>219077303If something is aimed at infantile sensibilities, yes, absolutely. If you're over the age of 13 and you still play with action figures or draw in coloring books or be read stories at night, you're a weird stupid person.
>>219078936After I tuck my kids in to bed I fuck my wife til 2am and after she has fallen asleep I read Goosebumps under the blankets with a flashlight.Get fucked loser.
>>219078671yeah bro guts getting raped by a pedo isn't edgelord, it's deep. themes and such.
>>219077717we were absolutely still playing tag in sixth grade your friend is a faggot
>>219078705You should be reading Proust and watching serious films.
>bends over and farts on you while screaming nigger at the top of my lungs>runs away cackling and screeching like a chimp on PCP
>>219078146>I always make fun of tranime fans, but the Trump eclipse memeIf this website was worth a shit still this would get a permaban and it would be stickied at the top of the board for a week
>>219079947seethe
>>219077200According to who? Why would I let a random article or post on 4chan determine how I spend my time?
>>219079947Fuck off bitch. This isn't an anime site, never was, and never will be. Ancient trash like you doesn't belong here, get off MY board.
>>219079802me too but some cunt told me I was lame for wearing a pokemon shirt in 5th grade (literally in 1999 at the peak of pokemania). She was an insane cunt with a pizzaface who ended up doing interpretive dance as a burnout adult LOL
>>219080047You probably watch Yu Gi Oh
>>219080064>5th grade>1999ho-lee fuk how old are some of you
>>219077200I think enjoying youthful pastimes in moderation is fine.There, I disputed it.
>>219080117Nigger that's young, I was born in 84, fuck off you zoomer swine.
>>219080117Can you calculate my current age?
>>219080117I pulled Charizard in 1999 and you can't stand it.
>>219080166>>219080347>>219080387im 94 man you guys seem old
>>219078146Idk man, it had a strong start but it run out of steam. Most people agree it turned to shit on the boat (even self-proclaimed megafans are apathetic about post-boat chapters), some people say it died with the kids joining the party (which is to say its been shit for 25 years), I think it gets weak around the ganishka arc. Give it a chance because its free and has nice art, but recognize that there is no payoff or closure to be had for any of it.
>>219080470You're 4 years younger than me and you're calling me old?!?!?!?
>>219078146the 90s anime is kino and adapts the best part of the story.having recently re-read through berserk i am again entranced by the art but honestly the rest of the story outside of the golden age arc (aka the arc that you are referencing with the eclipse) is definitely not as good.
>>219077200this only applies to men btw
>>219078936>be read stories at nightWhats wrong with that? You wouldn't like to share in stories with someone?
>>219077200Hey watch it with the anti-consumerism rhetoric, buddy. We have Eternals FuncoPops we need to sell.
>>219078146It could have been but the creator stopped giving a fuck and then died
>>219077200Shame kids have to speed read all the edgier stuff like watchmen and swamp thing in the 3 years between 15 and 18.
>>219077303It's not about liking something, it's about being obsessive over things and becoming a man-child. For me, the worst infantile shit I see is guys over 21 walking around with sports jerseys with some other guys name in the back and then paying hundreds of dollars for tickets. Same thing with any fucker who pays more than $30 to go see some old boomer band in concert. Grow the fuck up. That's somehow worse than the boomers who encase their comics, baseball cards, Pokemon shit and Funkos in plastic expecting them to be worth millions. There's some boomers at work who always talk about the Patriots and their yearly trip to see them and acting all proud because they paid $1,000 to get tickets to the grandpa Metallica show in Vegas. Boomers are the worst ones.
>>219080938Alan Moore has stated he regrets most of his edgy comics because it influenced the wrong people and that comics should be for children and he regrets his role in that. Looking at old videos on YouTube and conventions were filled with more kids and teens and people looked like they were having fun and not taking it seriously. Modern conventions is just old people clinging to nostalgia and few kids and teens because it costs $100+ to attend.
>>219077200I've never bought or read a comic in my life. I was too busy playing team sports and partying. Essentially, what I'm getting at, is that I'm above them.
>>219077200I don't get life advice from lifestyle bloggers.
>>219077487I love baby world 2
>>219077200>Adults are people who do what I tell them to do.
>>219077964>You think people in the 1800's stopped reading sherlock holmes when they turned 25? Nobody gave a fuck about what art you consumed until THEY turned it into a pretentious minefield of pseudointellectuals clawing for attentionNo, people didn't stop reading detective fiction as they got older, but people did care about it, it was considered lowbrow. The issue nowaday is that there no longer is any highbrow entertainment. The best you get is the odd work that tries to elevate genre fiction via special attention to theme, plot, visials, and characters, or all of the above, but can only achieve middle brow. Now I'm fine with that, I like middle brow, but let's not pretend it doesn't matter.
>>219077200I still watch Power Rangers
>>219077200especially if its todays comics
>>219086160He's right you know
they keep coming after us..capers
>>219077200This applies to manga and anime too, btw.
>>219086160>shieet ima finna be tryin' to pop a cap in raycism >shit ain't easy yo
>>219077200I used to buy 2000AD from the age of 13 to 15. Once I hit 16, I grew out of it because I started work, went out with my mates Fri/Sat/Sun night, and shagged girls. If you STILL purchase comics (and buy toys and merchandise) after the age of 16, please kys.
>>219079802If it were up to me I would've been playing tag all the way through highschool, it's great physical activity, fucking society.
>>219087539>mates>shaggedfanks fyow inputz Noige
>>219087633Do you have that one video of the British accent with these pictures talking about school shooters?
>>219087663no but I hope someone will post it
>>219077200Absolutely true. Capeshit is for manchildren
>>219077200No self-respecting adult should read romantasy or post old vacation photos on instagram.
>YOU HAVE TO FULLY CONCENTRATE AND COMMIT TO SLAVE AWAY, GIVE YOUR MONEY, ENERGY AND TIME TO NIGGERS; SINGLE MOMS; THE HOMELESS; GRUG ADDICTS; CRIMINALS; MURDERES; RAPISTS AND EVERY OTHER HECKIN OPRESSED GROUP YOU CAN`T JUST CHECK OUT NOOOOOOOOOOO
>>219087663>>219087872https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8bgxDmjZwpg
>>219077200agreed. Absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying it when alone. But openly watching and discussing this king of media as an adult,is retard
>>219088152hilariousalso the guy who made the video killed himself so it's hilarious x 2
>>219077487That chud shouldn't be watching babyworld in the first place. The daddy anal felching scene is none of his business.
>>219088239Really? Proof?

>>219077200My rebuttal: No self-respecting adult male reads lifestyle shit online.
>>219087119He's still mansplaining to her with a very familiar posture.
>>219077200The only reason to pretending to stop liking things is to impress foids, and trust me, impressing foids is the last thing i want to do...
>>219088323What a fucking weirdo
>>219077303I remember being at a LAN party at school when I was 17 years old. I can still picture one of my class mates, also 17 years old, playing Diablo II while talking about how he needed to enjoy it now, because when he's 18 he'll be too old for video games.
>>219077345did you play spider-man 2 on piss5?
>>219077200Can't argue with that.
>>219088554No but I saw clips of it, what a joke
>>219088704I did since I enjoyed the first one. Gameplay wise, there's an improvement, sure. But man the writing is turbo pozzed.
>>219077200>self-respectingyou're assuming much there
>ok I'll self-respect myself and stop letting you shame me for hobbies, my race, my gender, my sexual orientatio->NO NO STOP NOT LIKE THAT YOU HAVE TO ONLY RESPECT YOURSELF WHEN I FIND IT CONVENIENT
>>219088152Who could've guessed that the daily news of school shootings can guess mental health issues that you can't treat because no free healthcare and you can't afford it.Only in the U.S OF A
everyone I've met that criticizes hobbies, always women and boomers, have none of their own. Always flip the script on these people and ask them what they do with their free time and you'll get vague generalities like listening to music, or outright passive retardation like watching tv. These are people with a middle school mindset that have taken how they are perceived and internalized it into a core aspect of their being.
>>219078146Weebs like to pretend manga is superior to American comic books, but it’s generally the same. Any long running manga or comic is going to through some really bad runs and Berserk is no exception.
>>219086010The lower the brow the higher the testosterone in this pic
>>219078936only underdeveloped retards make that comparison, youre basically too dumb to tell the difference between things aimed at infants and things aimed at young adults
>>219077964Sherlock isn't capeshit, capeshit is for babies
>>219077200i'm afraid it's true
>>219086160>nigger>talking to the infamously unstable Harley Quinn about gay nigger shitHarley would butcher him like an animal for wasting her time
>>219077487This comic reminds me of how pozz-leaning normalfags use the "redditor" architype as a joke but make it that average redditor is a republicans-voting maga racist, which is absurd and simply not true. This is what happens when you steal memes from the right but don't bother to even adapt it
>>219077487kek
>>219077200Creatively I do think not just superhero movies but also Star Wars, Transformers, Halo, Tomb Raider, GI Joe and so on should go back to the sensibilities of teenage boys and ONLY teenage boys.
>>219077200Cool people don't give a shit what they're supposed to be into or not. They just are.If I happened to have a weird hobby of reading romance novels as a man, I'd honestly just do it because a) it's my way or the highway, which is what your general approach to life should be and b)no one can do shit about it.Also, life is too short to be bothered about this stuff in the first place.
>>219089904high IQ post
>>219078555It's clearly a cartoon though
>>219091757Ironic, since sherlock is a lot more tame than most comics and more uneventful as well.
>>219078146Better than Game of Thrones, for what it's worth. Granted, I'm not super into weebshit but it's among the decent ones.
>>219078146It's some jap's version of european medieval fantasy, you know how east asians are? their culture? their artistic sensibilities? their way of being? Do you like it? Then you're going to like it, if not then you're not going to like it
>>219077200
>>219087119those aren't issues
>>219077487Baby World fans, how do we respond?
why is that nobody is seething about women reading/watching tv/playing vidya but each time a retarded article like this is released it's kinda implied that men doing all those things are a problem**unless they are good looking and they are wealthy, in that case you can do whatever the fuck you want
If you want to be a man you have to stop caring about gay things like comics, movies, video games and start caring about Cigars, stocks, lawn care and giving fatherly advice to your family.Grow up.
>>219077487This market was lucrative for a period, as evidenced by toy sales data. Companies suddenly started re-releasing old 90s figures like Power Rangers and Spiderman, but daddy Disney found out and don't like being overshadowed so you get re-releases of just about every Star Wars and Marvel figure ever created including throwback figures which actually look bad on purpose as they try to match the style of the 70s and 80s.The market quickly became way oversaturated with nostalgia to the point where people either just didn't care anymore or started buying their figures from companies in Japan that don't charge 30 dollars for cheap plastic with no accessories besides maybe a lightsaber. There's a store here in the US (in case you're a filthy euro) called Ollie's. It's a Bargain Bin store where toys essentially go to die. There's tons of channels that do tours of the stores on YT and show off just how much of this nostalgia garbage Disney have pushed out crashing the toy market. That's on top of the merchandise they make for their other movies too. Now there's boxes full of Return of the Jedi figures sitting next to the figures from Shang Chi which are quite literally coated in a thin layer of dust they've been on the shelves for so long.The fun part? Disney still have to pay billions to keep these figures on store shelves or else they all go to the landfill and Disney have to admit defeat.
