It's okay not to like things or styles, but my god, comics is full of the bitterest gatekeepers.ecavalli posted:Haven't I seen this ridiculed before in this very thread? ecavalli posted:Oh good, more baffling anime bullshit completely lacking in context. ecavalli posted:See, that's the problem with people posting manga in this thread. For every Baki post that actually deserves a spot here, we get dozens of manga posts that need an explainer as to why they're badass. And then the people posting the manga get super defensive and blame the thread for being racist against glorious Nippon and its wonderful comics.

Here, please enjoy this badass moment from The Spire by Simon Spurrier and Jeff Stokely. It may not have Thor in it, but I promise you it's quite good! Setup: In a post-apocalyptic feudal tower city of serf mutants and cruel human nobles, the captain of the guard pursues a gang of briggands.

I know which of those I like being better. at least I'm posting panels instead of just angrily trying to explain why, actually, hating things based solely on national origin is normal and you guys are the weirdos also anime killed my father, furthermo  (tag yourselves, I'm the Destroyer JA and company are Hitler, obviously)

Apart from certain thread regulars with very specific rap sheets, I think it's mostly resistance to change that causes such distrust of other media, rather than direct racism. Sometimes how that's rationalized falls into outright racism, but I don't think it's always the source. Look, I love Thor a LOT. I've got the Simonson omnibus and a shelf of JiM trades. But I got burned out. When I stopped finding new things in capes stories, I went to indie comics, and manga, and YA graphic novels, and there's amazing novel stories out there from new voices! Look past Ennis, Bendis, Millar, or any of the names we've seen for the past twenty years, and give new books from new names a chance. Pretend I posted a million pages of Motherlands at the end of this post, because everyone should read that. It's gorgeous, gross, weird as all hell, and tightly written at six issues. It's about a fuckup bounty hunter and her sleazy has-been grandma, going on one last hunt together.

Mr. Maltose posted:Lurdiak has arrived, the sacred cycle of Japanese Comics in the Badass Panels thread has been completed. See y'all in six months when we all go over this again. In 6 months we'll only have posted another half dozen comic panels  Here's a comic where the badass-ness isn't in the comic itself, but from the creators. It's a full short story, but it's real old so hope it's ok. EC comics was doing some loving amazing stuff in the 50s. This would be a hard story to tell today, let alone with the level of violence in this comic. I've been going through the Wally Wood EC artist collection that Fantagraphics put out a while back and goddamn the back half of that book is just horrific story after horrific story, of entirely real life poo poo. Sometimes they put editors notes to reinforce the message, but usually it was just raw on the pages like this.        e: or for those who need something a bit more conventional, Mr Fury can oblige.  e2: overloading the badass thread

yeah, maybe some of us are being sensationalist, easily triggered, etc or it could be the running into the thread with the same hot take of "Asian comicbooks are categorically inferior because Anime Bad" repeatedly while dragging a rap sheet full of being a big fat racist on your heel makes you seem like, so racist Either way, I'm just here because I like comic books! Badass panels specifically. What constitutes a badass panel seems pretty subjective. Western Comics    Asian Comics    I feel like some things belong here, not because of context, but just because they'd look great airbrushed on a van           some things are Thor   the only thing I know is that I'm posting panels, and the only rule I can think of is "No Edits"  So I'm going to keep posting panels and calling out lovely, racist opinions.  Because that's the American Way!  Bonus Van Panel

It helps that comic books are the same dozen stories being repeated for decades so you can easily post out of context panels and most people will get it because it never had significant changes while manga tend to be one focused, continuous storyline which makes it pretty hard to make sense reading random pages blind. There are some exceptions but that tends to be the gist of it. And also most posters have an unnecessary aggravating reaction when they're posted.

Some context may be needed for those who don't religiously read 2000AD. The man in the glasses is Judge Smiley, head of a super secret Black Ops division of Judges responsible for total deniable ops and preserving Mega-City One by any means necessary. He operates above even the Chief Judge. Judge Dredd, the living embodiment of the Law and in many ways Mega-City One itself, discovered Smiley, and learned that he had used stolen alien technology to make a totally untouchable assassination corps, able to become completely invisible and walk through solid objects. Dredd doesn't like that. He really doesn't like that as far as he knows, a decades of illegal assassinations across the world were approved by the Chief Judge and Justice Department. Because as much of a stickler for the law as he is, a major part of recent Judge Dredd has been him learning that the law isn't perfect, and finding his own personal moral code that he holds above even the system he's spent his life supporting and enforcing.

       From Mike Carey's Lucifer #18 Christopher Rudd was once the finest swordsman in all the land. Now he is in hell, the plaything of a Demoness seeking scandalous diversions. He has just learned that the centuries of torment he suffered in the fields of pain served not to cleanse and purify his immortal soul, but merely to provide some temporary amusement for demons wiling away their eternity. He is not happy.

That is super bad rear end, I had to look at that big panel for a while to really understand what's going on. That's not a "hard to parse" complaint, it's a great visualization of an amazingly weird event. The transition from fore- to background could be a little more gradual but whatever

El Gallinero Gros posted:Lucifer is one of the greatest creative runs I've ever read. Never loses steam, incredibly compelling the whole way through. This highlights why the current system is so hosed up. "We can't greenlight something unless it has an existing audience, or else the risk of failure is too great." Which leads to "But the thing we've licensed isn't what we actually want to make, because its too far from what we think the mainstream likes." So we get "We'll just take the name and as little of the concept as we think we can get away with." And concludes with "The fans didn't like it? Didn't they say they always wanted a movie or show about this? Man, there's no pleasing some people!" Which is how you get I, Robot as an action movie and Lucifer as a police procedural.
