Are you ready, /co/?

Why does everyone like that stupid book?

>>149923761
It's the one singular thing Tom King has ever made that's not garbage

>>149923761
cause of the art

>>149923729 (OP)
I would've believed this picture if she was holding it backwards.
Also wtf is with her eyelids? Are those fake eyelids?

>>149923761
That's supposedly what the Supergirl movie is going to be based on. /co/ lost, King won.

Honestly, when I first saw Millie Alcock on Upright, I was like "yeah, this bitch is going to transition to American stuff soon; she has "the look" of a Hollywood bitch" and I was right.
How is her American accent? I've not watched Superman yet.

These fuckass photos where they pretend to read comics are always so funny to me for some reason.

>>149925683
did you just comment on the fixed thread?
that is so funny to me for some reason because its so funny for some reason.

I wish we lived in the timeline where she was reading Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade instead.

>>149925683
The worst is this faggot who brings comic books to interviews to get these pics

>>149925714
>did you just comment on the fixed thread?
Nope, I've actually been ignoring everything about that movie, but I do wanna watch it at some point.
>>149925728
Their asses are NOT reading that.

>>149925820
>Dakota couldn't even pretend to look at it

>>149923729 (OP)
I don't understand how Gunn managed to make her look incredible in the minutes she was in the movie, because in everything else she is mid

I hate seeing actors posing with comics. I believe a few might be genuine fans but some are just so obviously baiting for nerd cred. Frankly I will respect the first actor to come out and say "never read the damn things but I'll do my best anyways" over some flavor of the month pretending to be a hardcore fan of some character nobody's heard of.

>>149925940
this is the best one because you know they purged their brains of anything they could have seen from that comic

>>149926062

>>149926053
Well Taika David Cohen just outright hates comics and superheroes.

>>149925820
Holy crap Dakota, hold that shit properly and stop bending the back, that issue is worth like $40

>>149923729 (OP)
is that the actor of Adam Warlock with a Wig?

>>149925766
>>149925820
Couldnt find a Spider-woman solo?

>>149926192
The movie was Madame Web and that issue was her first appearance.

>>149925674
this is the only one I believe because during interviews it honestly felt like David loves Superman comics and Rachel kinda felt like that too

>>149926244
>this is the only one I believe
Ah yes because people really read comic books with their friends in a pose like that for cameras.

>>149926266
I didn’t mean the photo anon I just meant the actors reading their respective comics. everybody knows the photos are for marketing, Marvel’s been doing this since the early days of the MCU. I meant David and Rachel have a great understanding of their characters and I can assume they read Superman comics other than just for filming the movie. same with Charlie and Vincent here >>149926016 everybody else I doubt it

>>149923761
it’s alright, people love to use “but it’s a True Grit ripoff!!!” as some heinous thing like comics haven’t ripped off shit for decades at this point

>>149926391
Because "True Grit ripoff" is the only criticism people can levy against the book.

>>149923729 (OP)
hell fucking YEAH bitch

>>149923779
It IS garbage, though.
>>149926391
>>149926447
The tried and true "King is incredibly bad at scripting a comic" is true and good enough to criticize the book.

>>149923729 (OP)
>reading Kingshit
Grim.
Dire.
Rancid.
Subhuman.

Jeph Loeb characterization and based on a Tom King comic?

>>149923779
No that would be Batman - Elmer Fudd

>Toby: So, do you want to repeat myself a lot?
>Raimi: Repeat yourself?
>Toby: Yeah, everybody repeats themselves a lot in the comic?
>Raimi: The comic repeats itself a lot? Is it for emphasis?
>Toby: It doesn't seem to be emphasizing, just repeating.
>Raimi: *takes off glasses and looks directly at photographer's soul* The Holocaust didn't happen, but it will, and Brain Michael Bendis is going to be in it.

NO ONE reads comics bro!

Toby looks confused by what he is reading.

>>149927399
Tom King is incredibly bad at scripting a comic.

>>149925914
>how'd Gunn make her look so good in the movie
one of the great mysteries of the world
but really fucking good makeup artists were probably involved

>>149926447
Ok how about the unremarkable supporting cast? There’s a reason why Gunn decided to throw Lobo into the script when he wasn’t there originally

>>149926391
I feel as though the “Muh True Grit” criticism runs deeper than just unoriginality, because it’s trying to graft a pre-existing narrative framework onto a character it just blatantly does not work for. “Revenge” isn’t a theme Kara can explore all that since she was never victimized. You can’t really pin the destruction of Krypton on anybody besides maybe Brainiac, but he doesn’t show up in this book. Instead WoT uses an original character in Rutheye to explore the revenge theme with Kara acting as a jaded older surrogate who learns to open up again. Not totally unpalatable, but it’s an incredibly bizarre role for Superman’s rambunctious teenage little sister figure to assume. It gets even worse if this is your first time meeting the character which is all but a guarantee for the average movie-goer this film is attempting to advertise to.

>>149923729 (OP)
she's ugly but in a cute kind of way

>>149928040
>Not totally unpalatable, but it’s an incredibly bizarre role for Superman’s rambunctious teenage little sister figure to assume
to be fair, and not to defend Tom King or anything, Supergirl's personality is anything but constant in her decades of existence. hell, her very identity is constantly changing between Kara Zor-El, Linda Danvers, Cir-El and other one-off appearances, not to mention Power Girl and her own variants. I do think it's a nice modern reimagining of Supergirl and maybe I AM partial to it because I love the art, but all in all I think it's more good than harm and that /co/ does overblow the dislike of this comic

>>149926016
Missed opportunity to have DareDevil looking at the comic upside down or away from him.

>Woman of Tomorrow
The people who hated Captain Marvel are gonna loathe the Supergirl movie aren't they?

>>149925766
>Dakota doesn't even bother to be there to pretend that she read anything
Based

These pics make me lose respect for comics. I'm not sure why.

>>149928631
Rooster Cogburn is anything but modern.

>>149925834
Of course not. She can’t act, and can’t even take direction for a fan photo. Why the fuck does she keep getting cast again?

>>149928667
People only hated Captain Marvel because Brie Larson is a charisma vacuum.

>>149928667
the movie's just gonna be called Supergirl
>>149928806
titties and being a nepo baby

>>149928813
other way around, people began hating Brie Larson because Carol in the movie is a charisma vacuum. Brie is great in other movies, with Scott Pilgrim being the most quoted example

>>149928819
Yeah but it's based on Woman of Tomorrow

>Call her brother, the last remaining connection she has to Krypton, a bitch
Yeah, fuck James Gunn, real sisters never do that, single child molester.

>>149926315
>>149926244
David had definitely read comics, that comes across in interviews. Rachel didn't know a lot of things so I doubt she read comics growing up - but she did do research, just like she did for comic (comedian) Prime show, where she said she seen old Lenny Bruce shows.

>>149926391
>>149926447
>>149928631
no it is trash, badly written and badly plotted at that
at least other King garbage can sometimes pretend to be competent or at minimum technically capable as a story that goes from A to B to C but Woman of Tomorrow if you reads the script and didn't get lost in the pretty art makes no sense in parts.

>>149925820
>Everyone followed directions except for this fucking idiot

>>149925820
showing Dakota an ugly old crippled hag and saying that's your role in the movie must've been pretty funny

>>149925954
>Frankly I will respect the first actor to come out and say "never read the damn things but I'll do my best anyways"
That is what Bateman said pretty much.

>>149925656
unironically a terrible choice to play Shang-Chi, dude looks nothing like a lean flexible martial artist and more like he'd snap his nerves if he moved his arm a bit too fast once

>>149928631
I get that Kara’s had a wildly inconsistent character for years but I don’t think that merits just writing just anything for her. Typically the most consistent thing about Kara is her being younger and less experienced than Clark, so adapting a story where she’s not only a mentor figure to somebody even younger than her but is also a nihilistic substance abuser is just odd. It’s like if immediately following Batman Begins we got a Robin solo film where Dick Grayson helps out some juggler kid find his lost pet lion while battling through a heroin addiction.

>>149923729 (OP)
>I wish Hollywood comic book movie actors read some comic books their character is involved in!
>Granted, now they'll read Tom King

>>149925683
It's especially funny because nine times out of ten they usually just get their assistants to read that shit and have them make a mood board they can pick and choose shit from. The only one I actually believe reads comics is Gunn because he loves his deep cut characters.

>>149923761
If you want a luagh then just ask a tom king "fans" to summarize any of his actual books.

>>149928631
>>149928721
>>149930716
I'm kinda amazed at this argument where it's being argued that because Supergirl didn't have a univocal characterization, which is something you're just supposing by the way, through half a century and hundreds of writers which what actually would have that? But because of that we skip straight to the conclusion that Tom King must've done a good job by characterizing Supergirl as a jaded drunk apparently known to pick up random revenge requests.

they are cousins retard

I've always loved Brie Larson because she's hot. Captain Marvel was an alright movie, honestly. Albeit a little forgettable.

>>149923729 (OP)
Ugly cute

>>149925674
gunn is the only one i can believe actually read the comics

>>149933410
David definitely does, he understands the character very well in a way just reading All-Star Superman or watching the Donner films alone wouldn’t make you

>>149931324
>tom king "fans"
Doesn't exist

>>149931450
I'd get it if King was a skilled writer, but he doesn't even have that.

Getting a bit pudgy isn’t she?
