number 1 telepathy enjoyer

do you think prev is older or younger than you?

that's because you've never experienced the epic highs and lows of comic reading

why even review a piece of media if youre going to look at aspects of it that makes it part of its genre and talk negatively of those sequences

not even talking about "ugh why does every such work in x genre have this trope?" such as "ugh why does every horror movie have the "dropping the keys" moment". no. some people are on another level saying shit in the vein of "then finally this uncomfortable part where the horror movie scares us is over and we are thankfully back to more relaxed sequences!"

from the kind of tweets from marvel rivals fans my friend has been seeing i feel the need to reiterate the anti-emmatony scripture

We need to bring back letters sections. I need to be able to mail criticisms straight to the writers of some comics.

Hate it when MCU fans say they won't get into comics because they're sexualised. Like yeah I won't pretend comics don't have a historical issue with how they draw and depict women which IS a genuine reason to feel uncomfortable sometimes but let's not act like it didn't take them like a fucking decade to zip up Scarlet Johansson's costume either 💀

Marvel has been making comics for about 80 years. Within those 80 years, there have been comics which do not sexualise women! There have even *gasp* been women who write comics! Who draw comics! Like I will ultimately not fault you if you look at certain costumes or styles and decide that you do not want to read that, but there are plenty of comics written by women and drawn by women which do not have these same issues. Read Kamala Khan Ms Marvel! Read the Kelly Thompson Captain Marvel run. Read Exceptional X-Men (2024). Check out the writing credits of Ann Nocenti or Louise Simonson. It's not like Marvel exclusively hires Greg Land or Frank Cho, there are other people who work for them and some of them are even women!

good evening appalachian older brothers, people who act cool to hide their self esteem problems, butch horse girls who distrust authority, repressed ex-protestant werewolves, library lesbians who have trouble asking for help, girls who grew up in hell, language nerds, techno-organic aliens obsessed with pop culture, ancient romans, gay eco-punks, and pyrotechnics fans

so i like the new emma frost skin

Superhero comic readers dont actually enjoy anythingwe just kinda liked one story once and are just forever stuck chasing that high

If your liveblogging doesnt look like youre being tortured youre doing it wrong

Honestly the batfam people are the only ones who seems to be having fun

I'm a beginner to xmen comics but it's so nice that there's such a diverse representation of mental illnesses in the story! For example:

-Gambit (speaks french)

-Nightcrawler (catholic)

-Cyclops (cyclops)

Every professional comic writer should have the same encyclopedic knowledge about their protagonist as my mutuals and I do. It’s really not that hard. All it takes is a 500 issue reading list and a dream.

mcu synergy in comics is like getting stabbed a thousand times
