Rhyno posted:You don't know her back story any more than the rest of us. She obviously was at a critical phase which is why she was ready to end her own life. ZOMG SHE'S GOTH SHE WANTS TO DIE is an idiotic observation to make. You're an idiot. The artistic shorthand of goth = suicide was a complaint being made.

Rhyno posted:It's a loving idiotic complaint to be made and he also complained about how she was just one traffic jam away from suicide so you can get stuffed. Less idiodic than the guy who said it wouldn't have made as much impact for him if she dressed in a less "alternative" style. Because people who are depressed don't matter if they aren't qt goth girls, right?

This guy you idiot.prefect posted:I don't think he's saying "all kids who dress like this are depressed". I actually like that it's an "alternative" kid that Superman is helping -- if it had been a polished and popular kid, I would feel less sympathy.

Has there ever been a 616 Miles Morales at all? Even as just a sly mention/nod to the Ultimate universe?

Doctor Spaceman posted:Someone who likes or is fascist but doesn't want to admit it. The same for other "crypto-X" things. Is the "they don't want to admit it" thing important? I figured it was just hiding a fascist message or theme.

El Gallinero Gros posted:I think part of the issue with Superman is that, with video games part of the challenge is that you have vulnerabilities. So developers have to come up with reasons for Supes to be vulnerable and so far we've not had any developers who care enough about Supes or think to enlist people who do, so they can come up with something. I can't remember the title at the moment, but there was a Superman game on the DS where the player is invulnerable and instead it's the city itself that has a lifebar. I though that was a pretty good way to handle things.

I think it's dumb they used 616 instead of literally any other number because it means that whoever made the decision to put that in there means they know it's ~important~ and recognizable, but doesn't know why. Or doesn't care-- they just want people to nerd out because "I recognize a thing!" with no consideration to the meaning behind it.

It's not a big deal, it just dilutes something that was cool and unique by specifically not understanding or not caring why it was significant in the first place. It's about making it confusing for anyone. Like-- imagine they used a different number, whatever they chose, now instead that grows the IP (or lore, or whatever term you like the best) and can be something new to be called back on. With that there's something unique that everyone of all levels of knowledge can appreciate. Instead it's just "thing that exists."

Dawgstar posted:I've never been clear on how much influence editors have over manga creators, but it does seem like 'a lot.' I've heard stories part of the reason Bleach was the way it was because his editor kept telling Kubo to make it like either DBZ or One Piece instead of doing its own thing. Even Jujutsu Kaisen seems to have devolved into the ever escalating power level thing, which is a shame. I think from things like Bakuman, Nozaki-kun and Aoi Honoo (among lots of other works that have manga development as either a focus or part of the plot) there's a range of editor types, but it definitely seems like often the editor is either a full on collaborator or a director and generally the buck stops with them.
