[QUOTE=The Dying Detective;3518299]It gets worse Shawn James has been ragging on Marvel and DC well mainly DC for mismanaging their respective brands for years already but he's just as bad as them since he sabotaged his own credibility by reviewing movies before they even come out. And giving hardly well thought out arguments for his beliefs. And he doesn't even realise this.[/quote]
Okay, I won't use this guy as an information source for sure, then.
[QUOTE=The Dying Detective;3518299]It still doesn't stop some fans from getting into the entertainment business and in their enthusiasm they make things worse because they can't think objectively. So that's why the quality of comics tends to be very debatable.[/quote]
While there are times that I don't think it works (I'm not a fan of Dan Slott's Spider-Man stuff, for example), there are cases where I think it does; director Justin Lin has gone on record as having enjoyed watching [I]Star Trek: The Original Series[/I] with his family growing up and the [I]Trek[/I] movie he directed, [I]Star Trek Beyond[/I] arguably captured the spirit of the franchise best of the reboot movies series. Claudia Gray, a self-professed [I]Star Wars[/I] fan, has been one of the better recurring [I]Star Wars[/I] novelists in recent years. I suspect, like anything, it's a case by case basis.
[QUOTE=The Dying Detective;3518299]Oh I heard about his issues with Renew Your Vows #7 and I'm pretty sure the writer only rushed the ending to set up the Venom story. Because if the plan was to do some sort of feminist plan Jean Grey would not have been knocked out.[/quote]
Fair points. I think that Ernst has dropped the series (he hasn't brought it up again on in his reviews since), which is his right, even if i disagree with his reasons. Actually, I do think that the latter issues of the Conway/Stegman run seemed to suffer from rushed endings, esp. the finale with the Megazord Goblin. Maybe Venom wasn't the only thing that the Marvel brass wanted Conway and Stegman to do? (Personally, the Venom story has been my favorite of the series so far.)
[QUOTE=The Dying Detective;3518299]But I have to say though Renew Your Vows has gone downhill because under subsequent writer Peter grew more passive. Under Ryan Stegman Peter actually asked Mary Jane on what to do in contrast to how Peter took charge of the situation in the original mini-series. Now under Jody Houser the story has devolved into a 90's sitcom style book which is very unnerving.[/QUOTE]
Can't say I've been bothered by the series thus far in general (a few weak endings aside); if memory serves, the Coney Island story was largely about Annie learning things from Peter (and the original mini did have MJ be the voice of reason when their cover was first blown). Fair enough if things haven't been to your liking, though. I will concede that, while I'm not bothered by the series yet, I don't think that I've been enjoying the flash forward as much as the original batch of stories and that the RYV series in general is not my favorite comic in publication right now. Hopefully, it'll pick up soon.

It's hard to say, but I imagine there will be more people with superhero burnout after Infinity War ends. Personally, I'd eat up pretty much anything superhero related; I'm still waiting for several characters to appear in both cinematic universes.
-
I have noticed a superhero burnout by my friends. It definitley started when superheroes got their own shows on TV. Arrow, FLash, Gotham, Daredevil, JJ, Luke Cage, Agens of Shield and so on and so on...no one can keep up with all that stuff.
My buddy gave up on Arrow and all that shows because it dragged on too long. You can tell the story of Arrow in less than half the episodes. It was too boring for him. (for me too, by the way)
Its superheros everywhere, in between Star Wars, Star Trek Discovery and all that cool stuff like Stranger Things...we live in an age of overexposure.

For me it is less burnout and more that there are more superhero tv shows now than the total number of tv shows I have time to watch. I still have to get around to watch the final few episodes of Star Trek Disco and all of Stranger Things.

Yeah ,thats exactly my problem, too.
I want to watch everything and i would, but i cant...not enough time.
And the shows are running on different platforms, so i have to have them all....thats crazy...

I agree Shawn James is a bad joke but what surprises me is that he is a good writer and I have lifted some concepts from him for my fanfiction and original work. If he actually used his brain more he'd be taken seriously. In fact he's the inspiration for a clueless conspiracy nut who find useful clues but he has none of the brains to realise this. So at least he has some uses despite being a semi-reliable source of information.

Yeah it's though I learned the hard way that whatever a creator says might not match up to their works so I prefer to take the more cautious approach when I hear people say they're big fans of a franchise. At least until I have been proven otherwise.

Well yeah at least Ernst won't be saturating his reviews of Renew Your Vows with his politics. The Venom story was the only story Stegman did that was more well done and had a decently characterised Peter unlike the Megazord Goblin one which had a very lackluster fight an poorly done Peter I'm at a lost as to why Stegman changed gears so suddenly. I'm also puzzled as to why Conway left the title so quickly when he barely started.

You must have more patience for this series than I do. Yes Annie did learn something from her father on Coney island before the story changed gears to make Peter and Annie look like children. And Mary jane was the voice of reason when thier cover was blown in the mini-series but that was more well done because Mary Jane didn't undercut Peter and I wish to see more that. To be honest I'm not such a fan of the fast forward direction either because I woudl rather see Annie grow and learn instead of her having to skip all those interesting development no one got to see with Mayday Parker.

I've noticed that when anyone speaks out against him (or the Comicsgate club in general), the retort is essentially: "They're afraid of us and the truth we are trying to present that destroys their ideologies." So, while I do think that Comicsgate needs to be seen for what it is and needs people willing to stand up against it if it is indeed the rotten apple that I've observed it to be, if specific persons are unwilling to engage in the subject in an intellectually honest manner and will only continue to spew garbage and bile, at what point is trying to engage them simply feeding a troll? Ernst and the others may not give fans a good name with their extremism and wacky doodle ideas, but we don't have to watch their videos or read their stuff.

Agree that Megazord Goblin was bad; my personal biggest gripe was the out of nowhere bait-and-switch regarding who the actual villain was; there was no buildup to any of it and all the turning points on that were offscreen.

Well to be fair to him managing your OWN stuff is way different managing say DC. For certain franchises you are dealing with a TON of cooks in the kitchen.
If you gave him say give him a line like Young Animal or something like Sugar & Spice or Hawk & Dove where he's free to do whatever-you might get something decent.

[QUOTE]Why are so many people in the comic book industry spending so much money to appeal to a hundred billionth of all comic book readers when most of the core audience of millions of heterosexual males are keeping their wallets closed to the point where over 50 comic shops closed last year?[/QUOTE]
Now MIND you-Thunder has been around since 2003 and was with Grace Choi before 2011. The series was following the comic.
He accused the industry of trying to make black women masculine. I can name more heterosexual black females in comics than I can LGBT ones.
How many LGBT black female lead solos have we had since 2000s? Motor Crush (Image), Abbot (Boom), BP WOW (Marvel) & Concrete Park (Dark Horse-sort of). A case can be made for Bingo Love (Image).
A GOOGLE search could have told him this.

Give or take sure he could make something special if he was given a title to work with but what what if the editors asked him to do a story involving Damian Wayne who he dislikes? Can he do Damian justice as well? For all he alleged objectivity he suffers from problems that cloud his judgement. but if he can't make himself more approachable online it's a wonder how his books even sell. I've found very few reviews of his books and it's pitiful but while it's no way gauge the actual sales of his books it sounds like they maybe good books but they aren't exactly making him the next J.K Rowling. And a good attitude is a helpful selling point which he lacks and as a result he gets the kiss of death as many times as DC and Marvel have. It just doesn't hurt him as hard as it does DC and Marvel when they screw up. Because he is just as bad as the Twitter crowd he also dislikes. i'm more confused that the Dora even have gay members when they are supposed to be T'Challa's wives in training. It sure didn't help Chris Claremont when he had to put up with Jim Shooter's unfortunate demands to kill Jean Grey.

I feel bad for saying it but I’m already experiencing the burnout. I don’t follow any of the current superhero shows anymore. When I was a kid you’d be lucky if you got a Batman movie every 3 years and now you can’t turn around without seeing a new superhero project. I guess I got spoiled.
I like the Marvel movies but I’m obviously more of a DC guy. The fact that the DCEU has been so bad and Marvel has had nonstop success has probably lessened my excitement for superhero movies a bit.

Yeah, I mean in recent events, the House Republicans have closed the book on their investigation of Russia's meddling in the 2017 election with the conclusion that there was no collusion between them and Trump or his campaign staff. The House Democrats are arguing that that conclusion is premature and partisan-influenced. How many of us here in the States are actually going to look critically at this situation and just jump to a conclusion based on their politics or what they think of Trump? There's no willingness to listen anymore, it seems like.

Wonder if the YouTubers are as influential as they think. While trying to research Comicsgate online leads to a disproportional amount of pro materials instead of anti materials, I suspect that the minority follow this stuff instead of just buying their stuff and leaving it at that.

In the context of the story, it was public knowledge that Liz had divorced Harry Osborn sometime prior (that was implied to be where Liz got the funds to found her own company), and it might've been common knowledge that Normie had been legally declared independent (Betty Brandt comments on how strange that is when meeting with Normie prior). I think that it was indicated that Liz was not a part of Oscorp at the time (although I don't recall if the Megazord Goblin story refuted that or not). I guess I took it from the story that Liz was a third party. Whether MJ should still not've trusted her based on all that I'm not sure.
[QUOTE=The Dying Detective;3522144]And yeah everyone who read the issue where Mary Jane put on the Venom suit was wondering why didn't she notice there was soemthing off with it especially when the symbol on it looked like something Venom would wear.[/quote]
I guess this was something I was willing to let slide for the sake of the story, but mileage may vary. The question I wish had been answered was why she didn't go to the F4 to have Venom sound-blasted off like Peter did way back when. For the rest of the Conway/Stegman run, she's still wearing it and seems to be implied that they don't have a way to remove it on their own (MJ adds getting it off as part of the demands to Liz when having cornered her).
[QUOTE=The Dying Detective;3522144]And as for the Megazord Goblin arc what was up with Normie's assistant hijacking his plan not to mention Normie's rather rushed change of heart it didn't make sense.[/quote]
