@ToniSmalloni@cybxrartist Even in the 90s, which was when X-Titles and Spider titles were massively outselling everything, Tony was still successful and notable enough to have multiple comics spin out of his swries(War Machine, Force Works) and get his own television show.
@ToniSmalloni@cybxrartist Do you notice that the number 11 slot is named "Batman"? Yes, the character had multiple titles, but they all had different sales and were counted as such.
Even with a 9 year handicap, He is in the top twenty. Being conservative, and giving him only a 50% boost from the missing nine years would still have him outsell batman.
Man was in top 20 best selling comics from the late 60s to late 80s, was consistently in publication for decades. C-List is explicitly for characters who are killed off in events because no one cares enough for them to keep them around.
I'm going to be honest with you here, nobody gave a shit about the Avengers before the 00s. he was a C Lister in a team of C listers, X-Men outsold Avengers since the late 70s, and culturally more people would recognize Hulk, Wolverine, or Soider-Man than Thor or Iron Man.
@spacesamples I remember being a teen and the usual agreement was that the combat portions of Mass Effect 1 was noticeably weaker than the story, with ME2's combat being a massive improvement.
@PenPwyll@truffle Functionally wouldn't solve the issue of needing to force players out of cover in certain situations, cause you could still hunker down and let your weapons recharge.
@hotovercooked@kitsuneredFES Parody can be many things. In this case, It's drawing humor from mashing up Victorian Gothic horror and melodrama(as in specifically Victorian melodrama) with 80s battle shonen tropes and fashion magazines
electoral colleges are anti-representational systems that can and will ensure that there will be times the will of the people is ignored in favor of a minority of voters. The reason why a few specific counties have such weight is because that is where a majority of people live.
This is exactly why we need a state level electoral college system.
No more having a couple largely populated areas overrun small communities with zero voice.
The issues we faced when creating the Const with states disparities, we are now seeing internally at a state level.
Rural conservatives in deep-blue states are effectively governed without consent. In New York, Republicans win most counties yet still lose statewide by 20 points because dense urban and suburban voters in New York City and its suburbs cast the decisive ballots and vote overwhelmingly Democratic. The result is that rural and upstate communities pay the taxes, live under the regulations, and absorb the costs set by politicians they consistently reject. Same story in California and Illinois. Population density has become a veto over the rest of the state.
@Manlyburger I wasn't saying I enjoy his work, I was saying why people tend to preface discussion of his work with some variation of "John K sucks", I haven't engaged with his work in years.
John K was a pedophile who was regularly a bad boss, but used the success,modicum of influence, and modicum of fame he got from Ren and Stimpy to surpress his victims and find more. This is why people tnes to bring up that he's bad before talking about his work.
John K bad
Discussion is not allowed unless you say John K is bad first.
If you do not comply you will lose credit score and if it drops to zero you will be banned for life from talking about cartoons.
You must follow the guidelines as written.

Genuinely, what is it about the Riddler specifically that has led to him being yassified to such an obscene degree. That might as well be a completely different guy
