Squirrel Girl has like the coolest, most unique art in a Marvel comic ever. Like, what do you expect from a comic book called Squirrel Girl? The art style designed to be incredibly weird, ultra cartoony, ridiculous, and bizarre, just like the comic's comedic, over-the-top content. The reader is supposed to be reading it and feel like they're hanging out with this strange kind of superhero lady who has the powers of a squirrel and can command a squirrel army to take down Doctor Doom and other strange stuff. It's called Squirrel Girl! What do y'all expect?!!

Also Erica Henderson, the original artist behind Squirrel Girl, has won 2 Eisner Awards, one of which is for Squirrel Girl, so uh, it's dumb as heck to say it's bad solely because it's different when it's arguably very cool and good and hilariously fun.

No it's bad.

Of the many ways in which it is bad, I think the worst is that upper lip curled sneer all the characters have and use as their primary expression. If it was just squirrel girl I might excuse it as having something to do with her teeth, but all the characters do it, in addition to being blandly ugly.

Exactly. The art is very weird and quirky as gently caress, but it's fun and works so well with Squirrel Girl's style in the comic.

there are all sorts of warps and wefts to the narrative i've proposed. i would argue for example that x-men and x-men 2 are a lot more than male power fantasies (the political allegorism, the ensemble caste, the interpersonal drama, the quality of the actors). there are in fact very few superhero movies to have subsequently equaled the breadth and sophistication of their drama.

There is a different artist on Squirrel Girl now for you fucks who demand everything look vaguely like Jim Lee drew it. (Its still not in that early 90s style though. For which I am glad.)



I had zero issue with Henderson's art. Oh no everyone isn't hot looking. She drew a T Rex Ultron that is the best goddamn thing ever. Or at least it was till JEFF THE LANDSHARK in West Coast Avengers. But Squirrel Girl is a good funny comic that more or less doesn't require me to read multiple stupid rear end irrelevant crossover books for this season's newest event that won't matter 3 months odd after it finishes anyhow.

As to the actual topic? I ain't got the time and money to see movies I care about much less dumbass Avengers poo poo. Like for Supers movies in the last decade I have seen uh... Nolan Batmans, the first Iron Man, both Deadpools, the Ed Norton Hulk, and the second Guardians of the Galaxy. (Add the first I saw on blue ray when it was on sale.) I've heard good poo poo about the Spidey cartoon movie and Lego Batman though.)

I dunno I am sure it would enrage 15 year old me but I don't care that much about Superhero poo poo anymore, especially live action forget it in a month movie ones. Telling me ITS WOOOOKE ain't gonna help especially since there have been multiple lady or minority superhero type movies before albeit largely lovely so people pretend they never happened. But if it helps lots of marginalized folks feel better about stuff cool! I have no quarrel with Captain Marvel or Black Panther. It's not like I gotta see them right? I give as many fucks about them as I do Thor or Captain America. (Which is more or less none. I've never cared about any of them. By and large the Avengers in general are characters I don't care about.)

Different people like different bits of mostly irrelevant pop culture consumer crap. It's all good. Even those of you who don't like Squirrel Girl. If it brings you comfort to have bad opinions about stupid poo poo that doesn't matter that's your right.

Actually, the poster did not provide us with sufficient information to determine whether he in fact “intended to go see” Captain Marvel. For all we know, he was held against his will for two hours and forced to watch Brie Larson for two hours like that scene in A Clockwork Orange.

He could have been tricked by a shadowy cabal of feministas who claimed that he was to see a showing of classic Schwarzenegger film "Commando", only to find Captain Marvel start playing after he had already sat down. As a pragmatic man, he may have chosen to stay at that point, having already paid for his ticket.

Yup. The story was good, all the secondary characters were good, (measured in The Super Hero Movie metric) but holy poo poo she was just such a boring lump of Anti-charisma. I mean I liked the movie okay enough, but she worked pretty hard to make me not like it. I know she's a competent actor so I'm blaming the director for not pulling a better performance out of her.

If I remember correctly that was a big thing at the time. Anyone who criticized the repulsive art was accused of just wanting to be able to jerk off to it, and its unrelenting ugliness was claimed to be important feminist activism. Of course I might just be misremembering that bit of years old internet drama, since it is hard to imagine a world where people would misappropriate culture war rhetoric to excuse bad or mediocre art *thousand yard stares past any mention of the thread's original topic*.
