Sheev suddenly says "do it" in his creepy emperor voice and Anakin finally does. Before that he was struggling not to. The whole point of Anakin s character is that he wants to do the right thing but isnt strong enough spritually or emotionally to do it, because he cant cope with his personal loss and tragedies. >~> --- Sigs are for losers |

| Topic | Why do comic books do action so much better than manga? |
| AlisLandale 07/11/18 10:50:34 PM #76 | What Im trying to drive home is that you are not describing any real difference between manga and Western Comics. What youre describing is not rare in comics. It is the standard. I understand the appeal of manga's simplicity, because thats why I read manga almost exclusively for most of my childhood and young adult life. But Western comics, the vast majority of the time, are just as easy to follow if you understand that it's organized by title. Pick up "Amazing Spider-Man" at any number, and just keep reading each subsequently numbered issue. Thats it. Thats how simple it is and thats how the vast majority of Marvel/DC comics operate. When people ask where the best place to start with Western comics are, the answers are usually given based on quality, not because certain stories are required. People recommend "All Star Superman" to new Superman fans not because its needed to understand other Superman comics, but because its a good story. This is even made easier with the modern trade market. Volumes are numbered sequentially from 1, collect completed selfcontained arcs, and have a single, linear direction 99 percent of the time. This is, again, the standard. So you can read Detective Comics Volume 1, which contains one completed story, and move on to Detective Comics Volume 2. There are no "alternate incarnations" of Spider-Man or Batman as it pertains to the vast majority of their stories. Though it would help if you mentioned what you think "alternate iterations" are. Any "alternate" version of a character is as easy to identify as it is to identify that "Homura Tamura" isnt part of the other Madoka manga canons. Theres nothing wrong with preferring the "smaller" world of manga, and I dont mind if you never read a western comic, nust trying to drive home that western comics are yes, normally, the vast majority of the time, as simple and linear as manga. >>~> --- Sigs are for losers |

| AlisLandale 07/11/18 10:04:06 PM #74 | SailorGoon posted... SailorGoon posted...Idk dude. I like a coherent linear story that doesn't require reading any supplementary material to get a better understanding of the characters and world that a story takes place in. I also like it when my story isn't reconnected or done a hundred times over. Im not saying youre saying that. Im saying your understanding of Western Comics is flawed on a fundamental level. You hear western comics fans talking about Earth-2 and timelines and resets and think its this big convoluted mess. But anything will sound crazy to someone who isnt familiar with it. Try explaining JoJo to someone whos never heard of it and theyll have no idea wtf youre on about. You can read any Marvel/DC title and it will be incredibly rare that you will need any other title to supplement it. "Spider-Man", "Detective Comics", "Immortal Hulk". "Wonder Woman" Pick any one. You wont need anything but that title. this isnt "less common" than manga. That is the standard. Yes, there are exceptions, but those are also rare in Western comics. Superman's "Triangle Era" and Batman's Knightfall epic are the exception, and not the rule. --- Sigs are for losers |

| AlisLandale 07/11/18 9:50:32 PM #70 | SailorGoon posted... However, again, it isn't as much the standard as it is for manga. But that is the standard. There is only one valid canon for western comics. I dont see how this is hard to understand. >~> --- Sigs are for losers |

| AlisLandale 07/11/18 8:51:47 PM #6 | IdiotMachine posted... But shit like Dove's "Men's Shampoo" is fine? I usually see "for men" used by brands with an existing gender bias. Dove bodywash is usually marketed towards women. Men can use it and nobody will even notice or care, but they're more worried abour moving product. Pens are usually gendered at all to begin with, so its weird to suddenly try to market them as such. --- Sigs are for losers |
| Topic | Why do comic books do action so much better than manga? |
| AlisLandale 07/11/18 8:47:10 PM #64 | SailorGoon posted... That's not the point. How many renditions of spiderman are there? How many times have we seen uncle Ben, aunt may, Gwen, or any character die. How many origin stories are there? You have to buy spin-offs and mini-series to see that. And those dont happen in the "Spider-Man" comic. If you pick up the new Spider-Man #1 this week, everything from Spider-Man 1 (60s) to 801 (last month) is still the canon history. Stuff like "Spider-Man Blue" or "Spider-Man Season 1" are clearly marketed as spin-offs. To add to this. How many times have YOU read SpiderMans origin? That's like complaining that Attack on Titan is ruined by the existence of Junior High. --- Sigs are for losers |

| AlisLandale 07/11/18 8:39:38 PM #61 | SailorGoon posted... I go the same shop years later I'm sure I'll find a different continuity for spiderman than I would today. Actually, you likely wouldnt. Spider-Man has been a consistent continuity since his creation. Amazing Fantasy 15 is still canon. Heck, a Stan Lee story from the 70s was the basis for a major arc in the 90s. --- Sigs are for losers |

| AlisLandale 07/11/18 8:29:27 PM #55 | SailorGoon posted... Imagine using the fact that I like Shonens as a counterargument. Whether it's Shonen, seinen, or any genre as long as it's a manga, it will maintain a linear storyline, time-line, author, artists, etc more than a comic would. Okay, you are definitely overstating the use of alternate continuity as a story-telling device. Walk into a comic book shop. Go to the "New this Week" rack, and tell me how many different continuities you see in DC and Marvel. --- Sigs are for losers |
| Topic | Why do comic books do action so much better than manga? |
| AlisLandale 07/11/18 8:18:38 PM #53 | SailorGoon posted... As in there is a main plot. The characters have one story that goes from start to end. Whats the main plot of Azumanga Daioh? Or Neko Ramen? Or Watamote? Western comics can have main plots too. They just last a handful of volumes rather than 50-100. As for canon, look at Ghost in the Shell. Look at Madoka Magica. Look at Evangelion. The concept of alternative canon and universes isnt new to manga. And if you want to break into the world of anime theres the continuity fuck of Tenchi Muyo lol. --- Sigs are for losers |
| Topic | Why do comic books do action so much better than manga? |
| AlisLandale 07/11/18 8:05:37 PM #47 | SailorGoon posted... The point is, that everything I mentioned is the Standard for Manga. Yes, I understand that there are comics with a self contained story, but that's something manga does consistently. Define "self contained". Because now that I think about it, theres not much difference between Superman having a thousand issues and One Piece having a hundred volumes. The only difference is that there are effectively two or more Superman titles running concurrently, but those rarely cross-over. (In all of Rebirth the last two years, Superman and Action Comics crossed over once. And that cross over wasnt necessary for understanding anything else in either series) And the more popular manga like Attack on Titan, Fairy Tail, and MHA are now seeing spin-offs and gaiden stories. And things like the "A Certain..." Series are effectively their own Western-style comic universes. --- Sigs are for losers |

| AlisLandale 07/11/18 6:58:24 PM #34 | legendarylemur posted... Well even in self-contained stories, you still run into the problem of it being a superhero story with pre-existing characters in a realistic city setting. American Comics don't have nearly as many angles in storytelling and variety in its world as mangas do, where they just do whatever the hell they want and exist in their own universe. A lot of manga also take place in realistic settings though. And, at least in super-hero comics (indie comics take place in all sorts of genres and settings), they take so many liberties with "Earth" that it may as well be a different planet. A recent Superman arc took place in a quiet rural city with a distinct atmosphere, and it turned out Settings in Big-2 superhero comics aren't nearly as restrictive as you think. They're constantly changing and evolving. And non-cape books are just as wild and varied as manga. Look at something like Saga, for instance. --- Sigs are for losers |

I like a coherent linear story that doesn't require reading any supplementary material to get a better understanding of the characters and world that a story takes place in. I also like it when my story isn't reconnected or done a hundred times over. A lot of western stories are like that, though. If you read a series by author (who tend to stick to a series for 30-100 issues) you get all the information you need. Heck, you don't need to know anything about Batman's history with Jason Todd because if you pick up Red Hood Rebirth, the first chapter blends all the history directly into the narrative while setting up the rest of the run. Even in the middle of numbering this works. Start with Wonder Woman 195 (the beginning of Rucka's run) and just keep reading. Or just stick to the mini-series like Long Halloween, which are especially constructed to be self-contained. >_> --- Sigs are for losers |

| AlisLandale 07/11/18 5:43:30 PM #18 | For all intents and purposes it was "reset", but the problem is that DC has never had the balls to really commit to that idea. Wonder Woman, sure, let George Perez work his magic and give her a 100% reboot where she wasn't even a founding member of the Justice League. Batman? We'll revisit his origin in "Year One" but besides that leave it mostly the same. Oh hey, Flashpoint! Let's give Wonder Woman a total makeover in terms of story and tone, completely recreate the DC's Greek Pantheon and change the Amazons culture. Let's give Grant Morrison Superman to remold from his origins. But wait, we've barely just come off the tail of Geoff John's Green Lantern stuff and we'd hate to lose that. So don't touch it. Also, Batman has like, five Robins now so leave him alone too. I love DC comics but it needs a 10 year moratorium on any retro-active continuity management. Hopefully after this Doomsday Clock stuff is over we can move on. --- Sigs are for losers |

| AlisLandale 07/11/18 4:29:52 PM #16 | mario2000 posted... Paragon21XX posted...He was always Eggman in Japan. Sega America's localization team decided to change the tune of the series by redrawing Eggman to be a bit more menacing-looking and renamed him to Robotnik. It was later retconned to say that Ivo Robotnik was always his true name and Eggman is just a nickname that Sonic gave him that stuck. Hence he is known today as Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik. Lol. Its literally just renaming one character to match his original. >~> --- Sigs are for losers |
