I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


Damien is not a greaser who thinks he's Spider-man, the dynamic is way off.

I didn't think Maggott was that bad.

Maggott suffered from being a concept that found its way into the head of the wrong writer. If he'd been created by Grant Morrison or Jason Aaron instead of Scott loving Lobdell, they might have been able to do something interesting with him. Instead, he was shoehorned into the "Joseph" subplot and then quietly forgotten when that all went away.

Damien was Bruce in the issue I'm remembering. It worked for me, but I have a weak spot for Morrison. :shrug:

There was a guy on Antiques Roadshow last night who had VG copies of Avengers #1 & 2 (#1 was appraised for ~$4000–6000) just lying about unprotected and he was all "oh, well, better not rub my fingers all over them anymore!" and I got so mad.

What is this "hip hopping" you people keep talking about? :ghost:

DC's putting out "Adult Coloring Book Variants." Since we've already got blank variants, what's next? I'm hoping for Disney or straight-up gender and race-swapping, just for the reactions.

Related life hack: Google Image Search has an option for "image type" under the Search Tools menu. Select "Line Art". You can plug any artist or characters into the search, and most likely get at least a few images usable as coloring pages, including some uncolored/unlettered comics pages.

This has worked incredibly well for me when I've forgotten to pack coloring books for visits to in-laws. It's also nice if your kid is interested in something that has no official coloring books available.

It's also rad as gently caress to see a toddler coloring Jack Kirby pages. :3:

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Hmmm. I tend to be wary of this kind of fanstuff because it always tend to follow the same plot beats: look how badass Jason is, gently caress YOU DAD, gently caress YOU JOKER and gently caress YOU DICK; I kill because is what badasses do and so on.

However, they mention Roy on their plot outline and a Jason no longer blinded with vengeance so it could be the one fanwork that breaks the trend. I'll definitely keep an eye on it.

Of course, lets see how far they can actually get before

Find any number of screenwriting graduates to write you something original to show off your neato on-the-cheap action movie skills. You might even be able to sell it without a cease and desist.

That's assuming a lot!

I'm just saying that if you think you have the skills to make something cool, take yourself seriously, do your own thing and ditch the cheap marketing of jacking other people's poo poo.

Fan films are such a dime-a-dozen, I bet a really cool trailer of stunts and great shots would garner you more attention than any inherent "Oh cool! My favourite comic character in live action?!" interest.

Man, maybe they're not trying to take themselves seriously and just want to have fun making a tribute to a thing they like! Not everything has to be utilitarian or an effort to make a name for yourself. Sometimes it's just fun to appreciate a hobby and pay tribute to it. As long as it ain't hurting anybody, I think it's cool. Even if the fan film sucks or is dumb, at least they had fun.

Just like Empire and Return of the Jedi. The only pure Star Wars are A New Hope (current version) and episodes 1-3.

It's true that "official" works provide a sort of gatekeeping that allows for their higher average of quality, but "write your own stuff, don't be a talentless hack who just copies other universes!" is a dumb stance and it was a dumb stance when George RR Martin said it too.
