Why the west keeps making stories with the same character for 80 years instead of creating new ones?

>instead of creating new ones
We do
You can get into comics without getting into superheroes or licenseshit

>>149422875 (OP)
Does anyone else see a face?

>>149422881
OP doesn't read comics or manga.

>>149422875 (OP)
Idk

>>149422946
>mfw I can see an abstracted version of the Watchmen #1 cover
That's what this is, you know: satanic black magic, sick shit!

>>149422875 (OP)
Because the western comics industry is broken at fundamental level and nothing short of total destruction of numerous large companies will ever fix it.

Why brown people use American website when can't speak English?

>>149424967
You tell me.

The US doesn't have native legends like King Arthur. So we had to create our own. Superman and Batman are meant to represent American values.

>>149422875 (OP)
Because when they make stories with new characters, nobody cares.

>>149422875 (OP)
They keep perpetually making new characters, just like Wapan, and like Wapan few of them actually stick.

He used to be so big, his name was on their logo.

The problem is nobody has ever heard of these non superhero comics so they're not going to go looking for them.

>>149422875 (OP)
So as to not feed the east vs west nonsense, whilst we're on the topic of stories, and Superman's up there, anyone know what the best stories done by Cary Bates are? I already have a list for Elliot S! Maggin.

>>149422875 (OP)
It used to work.
>>149427198
Make a new thread.

>>149422875 (OP)
just to fuck with you

>>149422881
Most of the people into comics want wacky action bullshit, and unfortunately superheroes have a monopoly on that.

>>149424967
Why do southerners act like they know English

>endless super sentai, ultraman, gundam, godzilla, etc etc etc etc
:O
>endless superheroes
:/

>>149427099
>The problem is nobody has ever heard of these non superhero comics
That's their problem
They call stuff like Judge Dredd and Hellboy superheroes anyway, they apply it to any comic that isn't a funny book

>>149422875 (OP)
Why does Japan keep making media about Gundam, Astroboy, Black Jack, Golgo 13, Doraemon, Anpaman, Devilman, Cyborg 009, Ranma, etc.? Why can’t they just make new media? Why are they continuing series even after the original author is dead like Berserk?!?

Japan is also shitting remakes up lately because older demographics

>>149429570
Only gundam is an anime/manga franchise from those.
>>149429589
Even if you took all of the long franchises combined they still don't compare with how much capeshit exists and for every one of them 15 new ips pop out. They are the exception not the rule.
>golgo
>ranma
The only media these franchises had in the last 20 years were 1 anime for each of them.
>>149429576
I don't really consider either of these capeshit.

>>149429651
>B-b-but it doesn’t count when Japan does it

Shut the fuck up you disingenuous fuckhead.

>>149429663
Are you retarded?
>the west predominantly does it
>japan does it way less often
Why is that hard to comprehend?

>>149429691
Keep being a disingenuous dipshit, anon.

>>149429705
You are the disingenuous one. How can you compare something that literally rules the industry with something that doesn't? How many manga currently getting published are reusing the same characters that have been established 50 years ago?

>>149429570
Those aren't manga.

>>149429720
Golgo13
Cooking Papa
Kinnikuman
Silver Fang
Little Rascal Kobo-Chan
Tsuribaka Nisshi
Patalliro
Kacho Kosaku Shima
Ironfist Chinmi
Sunset on third street
Crest of the royal family
Kariage-kun

Are just few titles that have been published for 40-50 years and are still ongoing. And more are closing in on that 40 year mark. Kochikame still gets new one-shots produced every couple years despite the original 1976-2016 run having already concluded. Lupin III keeps getting new manga and anime and even live action films produced all the time. Ge ge ge no Kitato was created in 1960 and so far has had six different anime shows, several film series, video games produced of it. Sailor Moon keeps churning out new content for n a regular basis atop of ice skating shows, idol groups, theme parks… Why does Japan keep making media of these things!??! Why can’t they just make new stuff!

>>149429982
>why does Japan keep making media of these things!??! Why can’t they just make new stuff!
But they do? These are exceptions amongst hundreds of new ips that get made every year. Is it that hard to understand?
>basis atop of ice skating shows, idol groups, theme parks…
Lmao.

>>149430000
And so do western comics yet you lie and claim they don’t like a dishonest actor

>>149430005
>And so do western comics
But the numbers are not comparable. I remember a thread a while ago(1-2 years) that calculated how much capeshit got released in an year and the number was really fucking big. Bigger than I even imagined.

>>149430020
Yes they are because a disingenuous asswipes like you just wants to whine about superheroes while turning a blind eye to all the other comics being produced.

>>149430050
>Yes they are
Can you provide proof for that? How many capeshit comics have been released this year compared to non-capeshit ones?
>while turning a blind eye to all the other comics being produced.
I didn't do that.

Why does the east keep making stories with the same characters for 100s of years instead of creating new ones?

>>149429561
Tranny

>>149430146
Sun wukong is the one of the only old stories chinks are allowed to celebrate in their current regime. Fortunately america is not a communist shithole.

>>149430170
At least we got some good stuff out of Hong Kong while it was free. Beijing commies can never reach the heights of 70s and 80s Hong Kong.

>>149422875 (OP)
Ask Gosho Aoyama.

>>149430679
He has his mangaka bros making new ips all the time.

>>149422875 (OP)
Because the west have managed to brain wash people into worshiping IPs. "You're not a fan of a particular story, you're a fan of the IP."

Bro, no one ever owned King Arthur, it's a folk tale.

Superman and Batman are properties of Warner Brother. They're not yours in any sense of the word.
