@weareyourflesh @neogeo8man It's a shame too, because I think the monochrome style CAN look good if done right. At its worst it feels like an easy filter to just slap onto a generic, bland-looking game.

@neogeo8man Seems Nintendo finally hired this man:
"Make a model's textures look realistic, With no regard for artstyle or the aesthetic"

discovered that something extremely unfortunate happens when you view my artfight profile on light mode

[Harryhenry @harryhenry6]

@Exalted_Speed I'm 99% sure that name got in there thanks to your viral thread about it - what do you think?

[Harryhenry @harryhenry6]

@Exalted_Speed It sounds like it was only greenlit to fulfil the Teen Titans Go to the Movies gag about the various non-Robin Batman movie trailers. Now I'm just waiting for the utility belt movie... https://t.co/yavNcMK6df

[Harryhenry @harryhenry6]

@Exalted_Speed imo, I think the new colouring is at its best in the black-and-white flashbacks, with the black-and-white and splashes of red in certain objects making it look more distinct and stand out compared to the rest of the story.

child labour is bad but on the other hand Jim Shooter was writing some incredible stories when he was like 14 at DC so

[Harryhenry @harryhenry6]

@Exalted_Speed The original tweet noting "I prefer seeing them as aliens" I think clues me in to another potential reason: The fandom's emphasis on the Transformers as their own "thing" divorced from humans being involved, and if you include humans the mecha comparison is its most obvious.

[Exalted Speed @Exalted_Speed]

I guess this is a day twitter gets pedantic about the mecha definition today because they get weirdly insecure connecting it to other franchises that influence it or respond to it.

[Syosuke Sakanage @SyosukeG59]

Bro hasn't seen Gold Lightan, an anime that predates Transformers about sentient mecha aliens who turn into lighters. It’s literally just like Transformers and is a mecha just like Transformers.

[Harryhenry @harryhenry6]

@Exalted_Speed Those parts, much more than any of the overtly "camp" elements (which are honestly fun when I'm in the right mood for it) really sink the movie the most imo. Like there's so much petty bickering that's just not fun to watch.

[Harryhenry @harryhenry6]

@DeathAlchemist1 @Exalted_Speed But as someone who DOES find this kind of thing fascinating, and gets a lot of joy out of timelines and histories etc. this is all so much fun to me. I get being annoyed when fans go too far with it, but I think there IS an art to this that often goes overlooked.

[Harryhenry @harryhenry6]

@DeathAlchemist1 @Exalted_Speed With DC buying up V for Vendetta later, if you really think it through it's now part of both DC AND Marvel's universes!

[Harryhenry @harryhenry6]

@DeathAlchemist1 @Exalted_Speed This sorta thing is the side of Moore that doesn't (and can't) get real critical respect *because* it's such a "fandom lore" approach to the material that's so derided. Especially in recent years where people fret about fans only caring about "wiki lore" over a story's substance.

[Harryhenry @harryhenry6]

@Exalted_Speed @ReelRhoades Oh god, it's even worse knowing it's coming from someone who actually KNOWS comics.

[Harryhenry @harryhenry6]

@ReelRhoades @Exalted_Speed I remember a Strong Bad Email episode using She-Hulk as a punchline in the 2000s, or another guy (forget his name) deriding her in a really gross way as a "green porn star that only the Hulk could fuck".

[Harryhenry @harryhenry6]

@Exalted_Speed @harryhenry6 Discovering V for Vendetta was a bad future of the Miracleman timeline in the companion book was hilarious. I never realized it went this far though.

[Kammerer @Kammereer]

Hey, I've seen this one before

[nori @waterrazor26]

The way a lot of silver age stuff is written resembles how a lot of popular shonen manga is written (or maybe translated)
So if you can stomach the latter there should be no problem with reading silver age stuff

[Harryhenry @harryhenry6]

@maZombies @Exalted_Speed Hell for my childhood comic favourites, Tintin and Asterix - those are both about two grown-ass men going on adventures where kids rarely showed up. That hasn't stopped me or any other kids from loving those stories!

[Harryhenry @harryhenry6]

@maZombies @Exalted_Speed It's such a reductive view of what kids enjoy - like the Disney comics have Donald (an adult) and Uncle Scrooge going on adventures with their nephews, but it's not as if the nephews are the lead characters because "kids need to find them relatable."
