that's all well and good, but where'd you get any of that from "this comic tried but isn't good"

I don't think it was her opinion specifically that got to him, but the sudden pile-on of people complaining about the same thing.
It DOES look like that none of them know that previous Mad Max movies existed before Fury Road.
You're vampirephobic? Oh wow brb filing a complaint with PayPal. Let me go on Twitter and tell my friends to boycott your art because you're vampirephobic. This shit won't end well for you but at least I'll pick up some more followers for my next project.
You seem upset.
Nah, just highlighting the irony of how these things get started. It's like playing telephone only a good person gets hurt in the end.
That's a really sad, warped perspective, but you're entitled to it and I respect that fact. I won't resort to petty insults and very poor attempts at mockery.

Zombine, theres no problem with looking into and criticizing another person's opinion on something. You didn't need to use "sjw" since its a loaded term or accuse of bullying since last time I check George Miller isn't being attacked for the book.
Ed is my friend dude. You can rest easy knowing that it doesn't bother him.

You don't want to know this
and its not exactly relevant in a conversation where people had the nerve to dislike a comic book
It's not so much that it does or doesn't bother him and more that I think (or hope) you're better than your last couple of posts make you out to be. You're normally a really positive poster - I like your sense of humor - but I think you're holding on to a pretty toxic outlook.
I'm being 100% genuine when I say that's sad. I really do think you're better and smarter than that.
It's someone who makes a fuss out of something with the intent of ruining the life of the person on the other end.
For example, Albequerque's Batgirl cover. It wasn't politically correct, so a bunch of people banned together and bullied the right people until Albequerque's cover was changed.
Nah I don't want to see anything happen to the thread. I'm going to see myself out. Apologies to those I may have offended.

Come on guys. This is like any discussion about religion or politics. It goes nowhere and everyone just gets angry. I happened to like the comic in question, the reasons for which have nothing to do with the reasons others dislike it. That's good enough for me. At this point, anymore discussion about it is just courting terrible things to happen.

Yup. We getting locked in 3... 2... 1...
I kind of agree with Zombine. It's a loaded term on both sides of the aisle, but a lot of people (on GAF as well as elsewhere) pretend that there's no legitimate negative connotations. Which is not to say that some more conservative sources don't twist and misuse it as a pejorative, but that's another thing.
It's also not about disliking the comic book, it's about the nature of the criticism. Saying "I didn't like it, it didn't really click with me, I found the depiction of rape too explicit and it made me uncomfortable" is one thing, going on to claim that it ruined the film and that it's somehow objectively bad is another.
Oh, and you don't have to be more powerful to bully. I had most of a foot on most of the kids who pushed me around in elementary school. Power dynamics are fluid.

Cannot believe we're getting Trump in the same year Stewart retires and Colbert goes network.
WHY GOD WHY.
I'll believe it when it actually comes out, and I've bought it, and I've read it.
Not a moment before.
Coming in 2245 as part of the All-Newest, All-Differenter Secret Convergence Wars Marvel Multiversity event: the stunning conclusion to Matt Fraction's seminal Hawkeye! Preorder your mental implant now!

Who cares whether he gets the nomination? It's the run that's important! Stewart is leaving next month! He could still be in the race!

Everyone is caught up with wanting to hold female characters in a better light with every discussion about Mad Max and feminism. People are at each other's throat on whether it's a feminist movie that I just don't wanna get caught in all that. I saw a really good movie.

Day after my birthday! That's a solid present from the universe.
Haha, if by that point we've all forgotten about Jeff Lemire's Hawkeye, then maybe it was all worth it?

Ill believe it's done when I've held it in my hands, put it down, post about it, spread the good word, eventually think of it as overrated, and then call it the goat comic in 10 years.
not a minute before
not really looking forward to Lemire's final issue

Accidentally strolled into that Anime Expo thread and saw frye posting, but it turned out to just be some other dude with the same avatar?
frye is so chill he lets people share his avatar with no fucks given.

Have a 100mb skin pack too with the JL3000 and 66 Batman/Batmobile ones.
Is All New Hawkeye really that bad? I just see all the art on Ramon Perez's instagram and that part looks nice at least.
We believe you... Accidentally. Sure.

Yeah, I'm using the JL3000 one, it looks so badass. Thankfully, you don't have to finish the story mode this time before they let you use alt skins.

I was looking for the Animated Movies thread. I just wanted to discuss Inside Out, man.
Fucking movie was incredible.

"Accidentally" huh? Does this mean you'll have anime conversations with me?
And we already know frye is the chillest, we had a lurker even tell us!
Flashbacks killed it for me. Just completely pointless and poorly written. This is what you're getting with All-New Hawkeye:
The banter between Clint and Kate was pretty good but I'm done with it.
