To an extent, as we still have classic “Shonen” type superhero comics that tackle similar eternal themes of justice, antiheroes, teamwork, bravery, etc. But what’s happened in Japanese comic books is that it’s become far wider in scope than American comic books.

Although American comics include some adult audience…

I actually feel like American comics are hindered by the attachment to the same characters (bracing for stuff to be thrown at me).

I mean, if you compare the Japanese comic market to the American one, Japanese comics sell around $1.6B compared to the American market being around $500-600M, despite America having twice…

Star Wars is a great example of why fans shouldn’t totally invest their lives and try to consume everything that comes out. Sooner or later things get cut out and the direction of the story changed. All the extra stuff is just there to make cheap objects for you to spend your hard earned cash.

I’m unnerved by modern nerddom’s preoccupation with the concept of canon. It’s an ill-fitting idea to try and weld onto fictional material. Given that all the materials continue to exist for free consumption, trying to wrangle the plot points of one storyline you enjoy into another narrative strikes me as needlessly…

I think Windu spoke just as much as Yoda did in the prequels. He even almost killed Palpatine.

Not so sure about that - still fighting gravity.

I’ll have to take your word for it, the tweet didn’t embed and the account is protected.

New ideas?!! We don’t need new ideas, just remake the first one, that’ll work!

>Phasma certainly lived up to the hype.

Phasma certainly lived up to the hype. This films Boba Fett 100%.

Tight bro! Now give me a Furiosa take!

If you won’t, I will.

As a believer that love can bloom on the battlefield, Abrams should’ve regretted the lack of Phasma vs Finn in the movie.

I guess the problem people have here is the lack of internal logic to it all. Like, there has been such a long history of Jezebel authors being indignantly outraged because so-and-so made a comment about some woman’s body, and so there has been a huge culture against “body shaming” here... doubly so if has to do with…

What you meant: “It’s complicated, people. Let’s talk about it.”

The Light Side has cookie dough.

Jezebel is nothing if not hypocritical.

Cut the military budget (at least) in half, give the difference to NASA with the goal of a manned mission to Mars within the decade, watch the US become relevant in the hard sciences again, profit.
