Do you like comic books themselves. The story they tell. The sense of adventure, thrill, drama, and the art. The pure beauty behind comics..
Or Do you love the character. Do you love your favorite characters. Are you a fan of the character? It doesn't matter if Batman is in Japan or Batman is eating a plate of yummy spaghetti you love BATMAN.
Or do you read comic books for something deeper? Are you looking for role models.. and you want something more that isn't there? What do you want in your Comic Book? I think thats what I am asking...
Because most of the time when in these forums.. is that people don't seem to love comics. I just get this general sense of... bitterness towards comics and I don't understand why. People complain about stereotypes, sexism, racism, and any other word that ends in ism. But damn... in what forum of Media is it ever really fare? White Males dominate the field so what do you really expect? Same with TV... same with Film... So I guess the question is.. why are you so mad.. All the time? If you don't enjoy the book, the author, the artist, why not read somethign else? The market place typically tends to auto correct itself.
There are a few people on this subforum that I feel like I am always clashing with, and I respect that you have a different opinion. However if you don't agree with other people then you are wrong... Why? Seriously?
I like the New 52 and I love the Old Universe
I think Superman and Wonderwoman is a possible good Couple.
Clark Kent is Dead GOOD.
I like Harley's new Costume
I Miss Chunky Amanda Waller
But I understand that things change... And I am willing to accept that..
I wonder some days are you the same people that got mad when Women got the right to vote.( I Joke I Joke) anyways the questions are up,. My rant is done.
It depends.......
For X-men I love Nightcrawler but I enjoy reading the comics itself, for the story.
While for Batman I do read them because of Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Nightwing and sometimes Jason Todd [Have trouble finding his comics at the comic book store]. The Character's themselves and their stories rather than the overall story.
Then we have Superman, my least favorite comic book character. If I see him on the cover I stray away and if I see a mention of him on the book I stray away. (And yet I like the idea of Superman and Wonder Woman together...)
As for role-model, I don't really look for one....I rather set out on doing things my own then modeling myself after someone. However, I do like to try to achieve the same things as people in my fields of interests.
I also don't look for the deeper things in comics or something that isn't there. Unless if it's a homework assignment, but for me that just takes the joy out of reading comics. Looking for something deeper or something that isn't there. I prefer to try to predict things and feel good about myself when my prediction turns up true.
Personally, I prefer not to see stereotypes, sexism and racism in general, but I gotta admit played with the right setting, the right time and not trying to hard to make something out of it/looks to be ignorance of the author it doesn't end up looking too bad to me.
One last thing when people believe every view/way but there's is wrong and doesn't even try it really bugs me. If OPINIONS were right or wrong then they would be FACTS. I feel like people who do things like that believe that what they say is FACT instead of an OPINION.
