babies on the internet always be like “anime is better because of non-western story structure! google kishōtenketsu!” but no. anime is better because the protagonists all have weird fucking quirks
@Lady Humans love stories about people with fucked up quirks, this is the real reason the Arthurian legend has survived so long
@coriander just give me a weird little dude. a funky guy
@coriander i can’t believe marvel took superheroes and made them boring
@coriander yeah i think my current mood is that marvel has better ideas but worse stories??
@coriander like poison ivy is not a good idea. as a character, she is conceptually overwrought and cliché. but you can tell some good stories with poison ivy
magneto is a great concept but half of the stories involving him are ass
@Lady Yeah that's a good way to put it
@Lady For a long time before I started actually reading comics I thought I preferred Marvel but once I actually got into the worlds and I realized DC actually held my interest a lot more and I think part of that is due to the fact that even Batman, a guy with no actual powers, is still a weird little dude
