@Skylinex13 Something you notice when you read a lot of comics is that they’ll state the characters names and the basic plot at the start of most issues because comics are designed for you to pick up any random issue and mostly get what’s going on

I fucking hate the idea that there's a "continuity maze" to get into comics, there isn't, people just don't want to hear "from the beginning" and want to skip ahead
𝓒𝓸𝓶𝓲𝓬 𝓒𝓻𝓾𝓼𝓪𝓭𝓮𝓻𝓼™@ComicCrusaders

Manga and kids graphic novels are not stealing readers. They are showing American comics what reader-first publishing looks like. Clear starts. Strong shelves. Easy entry points. No continuity maze before page one. Read on Comic Crusaders now. ow.ly/Jcv350Z3RxO

@evilhomer91 @SergeiKravin0ff I mean sure, but making fully automated tanks is gonna double the cost of production at least. And that’s before you factor in R&D to actually develop the tech for fully autonomous tanks. No way it’s cheaper than just training tank crews

@SergeiKravin0ff I honestly thought of it as a logistics issue. Getting a militia together that can take over and patrol the streets is already kinda staggering but add on the full sets of tank crews needed for each vehicle it makes sense going unmanned to reduce the need for Eben more men.

1. The tanks literally shoot each other in the gameplay. If men were in the tanks, they’d kill each other. 2. Jason is explicitly outlines that the drones don’t hesitate or hold back, which implies he thinks manned tanks would be less efficient for this reason.
Dusk@ManOfX3

@SergeiKravin0ff Jason Todd has his militia use drone tanks instead of putting people in them to conveniently make way for Batman’s No Kill Rule

@Superguy551 It’s actually pretty cheap to keep MMO’s with low player-counts running. Small dev team and some whales is all you really need

@GERDSvictim @Opus_Rexx @dissidentwest The director doesn’t do anything to suggest it was a false flag attack. The main thing he does is suggest the soldiers end up just like the bugs, collectivist. The problem is that’s something that every military does regardless of ideology

What’s the best right wing coded movie that was clearly not intended to be for a right wing audience? You’re not allowed to say The Matrix.

@butleriano the specifics are wrong but I do think a lot about how star wars was a pastiche of other stuff (none of it high culture) and now star wars is a pastiche of star wars.

Horatio Hornblower is not high culture lol. George Lucas a was obsessed with old adventure serials and Japan’s most internationally successful commercial director.
Chapter House@ChHouseBooks

The best pop culture was always downstream of high culture. Meyer, George Lucas, and the original writers of The Simpsons drank from deeper waters. Now, pop culture writers are exclusively consumers of pop culture and the water has become much thinner.

@BleuSpheres @KyleCastorena His powers were him. And he was also batshit crazy. Where did the "I am god" persona go? He genuinely believed that. So why let his personality go?

humans outwitting Greek Gods bc they cant directly beat them is powerscaling Gilgamesh wouldnt be great if just anyone could beat the beasts he did, thats powerscaling Moby Dick being more intelligent than a normal whale therefore making it harder to kill is powerscaling
Kirby 🏴‍☠️@comicskirby

Powerscaling is not engaging with story. It’s using minor details and fun facts to make an argument for a hypothetical scenario that you made up in your head.

@DeuceTheUchiha @samarialainen @spoctorduner Butcher pops Black Noir’s skull open with a crowbar. The Boys jump and beat to death the second strongest supe after Homelander. They kill the entirety of the G-Men while only having basic enhanced strength and durability. The comic actively ignores powerscaling for narrative

@DeuceTheUchiha @samarialainen @spoctorduner That’s literally what happens in the comic. Most of the supes die in air strikes despite evidence in the comics suggesting that they could survive stuff like that because it makes more thematic sense. The comic actively ignores “power-scaling”

@samarialainen @spoctorduner then why do the boys fear Homelander? why do they mot just attack him head on? dont they know there's no scale and that they can beat Homelander if the plot wants them to?

@abs_sweetmarie *Chris Terrio. And that's only in terms of making movies, and/or keeping aspects of the Canon together (aka not retconning the books). Otherwise, the Star Wars universe has continued to exist through shows, books, theme parks, audio books, and LEGO toys and specials.

“Power-scaling is … fundamental … in most types of stories” is such a great tell that you have never read anything for adults.
Sheev Talks 🟢 || The Andor video arc@SheevTalks

@marauder_matt Unfortunately, power-scaling is about as fundamental a writing mechanic as things like plot and world-building (in most types of stories) so it’s kinda impossible to come to the conclusions you wanted me to

@Opus_Rexx @dissidentwest If you’re not clever enough, satire always backfires because it’s either too lampoonish or because you root for the protagonists. Starship troopers shows a safe and healthy society with complete racial and gender equality that’s completely merit based
