Open Marriage Night posted:Are you just talking about the covers? There’s been a bit of contention about the covers being misleading. Either people dismissing it, thinking it’s a cheesecake book. Or, buying it because they think it’s a cheesecake book, and being disappointed. One of the rarer variants of the first issue had Felicia in a bathtub full of milk. I did think of that so had a look in a couple of comics done by different artists and both of them had a lot of cleavage, the breasts weren't as big as her head but still what I would consider big anyway. EDIT: Took a look at a random issue (Issue 4 from September last year) and this seems like plenty of cleavage. fritz posted:There's some new cartoon in development in which Black Cat is de-aged and wearing a shirt. Ah right, well that looks like its; for a young kids programme so who cares? Oh yeah, I said something stupid there didn't I. bessantj fucked around with this message at 14:46 on May 20, 2020 |

Frankly, her outfit looks like a combination of her old suit and Archer's tactical turtleneck. Not, you know, saying it's bad. Just that it's what it looks like.

Vince MechMahon posted:It's also an early design and she's been changed since and looks just fine on the actual show. I still don't care for it but it does look better in black than brown. Note that "don't care for it" means "shrug and not think about it again", not obsess over it and demand it be sexed up 200%.

Marvel's Spider-Man (seriously, that's what it's called, not to be confused with the PS4 game). Must admit I've not really sought it out, since it seems to be in the Dan Slott mold (he goes to Horizon High rather than Midtown, for one thing). I've seen complaints that most of the cast is some flavour of science nerd, which seems kinda boring to me. Yvonmukluk fucked around with this message at 18:35 on May 20, 2020 |

If you have an Avengers team made up of Iron Man, Giant-Man, Spider-Man, The Hulk, and Captain America, only one of those dudes isn't a science nerd. Even then Captain Britan is absolutely a science nerd.

The closest you got was Marvel Adventures (RIP), which also had a bunch of other people to balance out the team. I mean in the MCU, you just had Bruce & Tony. We're talking virtually all of the supporting cast, powered or otherwise. I'll try and find the video that outlined the arguement.

Peter in that show looks like a 14 year old holy poo poo, no kidding they're not going for the cleavage spilling out of her top look. Everyone else is drawn and styled in a really non sexualized manner. It would look stupid, like she was imported from a different show for wank material. Instead her costume is adorable and actually makes sense given everyone is in high school. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Peter_Parker_(Earth-TRN633)/Gallery Like, if it was a cartoon where everyone was based on Greg Horn art and she was in that cartoon's costume then it would actually be weird and out of place but seriously context people! I know the CG context is more sex appeal = better than but it's so frustrating

Garth Ennis just released the first issue of a news The Boys mini-series which brings back the trans woman character from Highland Laddie, a character who I felt was emblematic of Ennis' clumsy approach to writing about identity and representation. Uh, let's just say he doesn't knock it out of the park. After A Walk Through Hell, which I thought was a pretty honest and nuanced attempt to reckon with some of his past excesses before throwing away most of his good will in the last stretch, it's an unsurprising approach-- there are points where it feels like he's using Hughie as a vehicle for expressing some of his frustrations and confusions but in general it's a middle-aged man whining and moaning that he can't say his favorite slurs anymore. It's a deeply pathetic comic and I kind of feel bad for him that his editor let him put his tantrum to paper like this, because there is some actual pathos and melancholy in Hughie's monologue later on in the issue. I don't know. I'll put some of the relevant stuff behind a spoiler but it's pretty rough. Not egregiously, spitefully offensive but just outdated and petty and kind of dumb.

We get a LOT of anti-trans stuff in our papers right now because they're all owned by chuds, and the people who read papers are older and often the first they hear about trans people is some loving awful dogshit "they're brainwashing the kids!!!" headline in the Mail, so it's really easy for them to take that onboard vs the slight work it takes to actually engage your brain and think beyond that, or, heaven forbid, actually talking to a trans person

From what I am to understand of Thatcherite Politics, the offense was protesting your lot at all (see what happened in the TVAM dispute, where the workers got illegally locked out after the strike and summarily fired) and saying ‘wanker’ just adds 20 to the sentence.

I would imagine Ennis is most upset about the pushback on being able to say anything he wants 'for a laugh' because in his head it doesn't matter what he says as long as he doesn't believe it. The plea of the 'ironic' <blank>-ist. One other thing I always remember about Ennis is somebody on another board once commented the person Garth looks up to the most in all the world is that one guy at the pub who apparently calcified in the 80's and thus always wears a jean jacket and will tell anybody who listens and even those who don't what's REALLY wrong with this day and age.

I'm admittedly more inclined to be charitable here, but I think it's about half that and half a genuinely-meant point about getting lost in the weeds about relatively small things. I'll admit that I've had similar thoughts about "slacktivism," where people manage to finagle it so they can continue to do Nothing, But Now With Virtue Flavor. Even so, this particular sequence works as an itemized list of problems Ennis has had with his writing lately, not least of which is that it takes up a surprising amount of the miniseries's finite page space. I wonder if it was written as a hasty filler replacement for what was originally meant to be there, as this book was originally solicited for mid-April and Hughie mentions the coronavirus at one point.

Rowling tho A lot of feminist rhetoric has been co-opted by TERFs to make it some kind of "trans women vs cis women" nonsense poo poo. Hence the F in TERF- there's some crafty yet hateful fuckers out there who've managed to make things less intersectional and incite their fellow cis women to start yelling about how trans women are "just men trying to get into our bathrooms", completely ignoring the existence of trans men, etc. But that's why you see centre-left (emphasis on the centre) celebrities getting on board with it, and it's extra buoyed by the bad papers I mentioned earlier here in the UK. And yes gently caress Linehan and Rowling. Utter ghouls.

That was the best of Ennis' work besides Punisher MAX in my opinion, and I was hoping the rest of his work with Aftershock would be just as good. Alas.

Yeah if I remember right Jimmy's Bastards was about 40% incest jokes, 40% limp jokes about trigger warnings, and 20% Ennis' very tale lament about how hard it is out there for hard men today in this PC world of blah blah blah and a whole lot of profoundly misguided at best stuff about gender variance (wasn't the macguffin a "gender fluid" that turned everybody intersex or something?)
