Most republicans certainly. And most democrats too. Sadly, corporate interests and money have found their way into almost every aspect and crevice of our electoral systems. Unfortunately, neither main political party is innocent of corruption and corporate influences. https://thehill.com/business-a...

I'd argue that Pokemon is the biggest example in ABED's favor. It keeps trying to expand its lore and Pokemon and it's honestly fucking awful for it. Pokemon is stale. Another example is current Star Wars. It has a lore and powers it tried to expand with the new trilogy. It fell on its face and suc...

Not EVERY single politician is deep in corporate pockets though and there are plenty of businesses who won't want to take the massive PR hit from re-opening in the middle of a pandemic, so i'm not too worried. My governor(Pritzker) certainly is no fan of Trump and is not at all keen on the idea of ...

Help, sure, but it's overrated as a selling point. Every franchise inevitably becomes creatively stagnant after a while because there's little fresh territory to tread. After a certain point it's mostly about maintaining financial viability. I'm very aware that franchises continue for as long as th...

Narratives needing to exist aren't merely about selling books. It's about emotional investment. If lore was as popular as you claim, it would sell. Narratives are necessary because that's what draws people. Emotional investment is what it's about, not exposition. Your "clarification" isn'...

Let's be real here, if he made an official announcement that it was ok to reopen businesses and go back to work, the number of companies that aren't going to jump on it are very few. It's up to each individual state to make their own rules to hold the line until (hopefully) Joe Biden can be voted i...

Ultimately it does not matter what he says as he can't force states to allow businesses to re-open if they don't want to. Yeah, but let's be real here, if he made an official announcement that it was ok to reopen businesses and go back to work, the number of companies that aren't going to jump on i...

I like this idea. I think Videl is a character with decent spinoff potential. Although I think that I would prefer it if the focus was about her attempting to leave the stay at home mom lifestyle behind for crimefighting, after trying to balance both. That would actually probably work much better. ...

Which just proves my point, it's all about story. Comics aren't limited to superhero storie and nothing about the medium or that specific genre are inherently for children, though I would still argue it's better to keep superhero stories aimed at people other than adults. People dressing up in cost...

I would argue the opposite. The reason his books connected is because people love the characters and the stories. It's why The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings are hailed as classics and few remember the Silmarillion. First, Knightfall isn't a great story, and second, you still confuse mediums with sto...

It is inherently bad if it's just a bunch of lore, which sadly most prequels are. No, a story that's primarily meant to expand the lore of a universe is not inherently bad, nor are prequels... You realize that the two things (spin-offs and maturing a franchise) aren't mutually exclusive, right? Fro...

There's strong and then there are reactions that lack perspective. Mature adults don't get super upset about their favorite kids shows getting cancelled. Calling someone immature because they're passionate about something they like, regardless of the target demographic, is ironic as hell. Something...

You are extremely naive to think it's mere passion at play there. It's not that good shows were cancelled. They balked at the new shows because they were made for a younger audience and more overtly childish, althought it TTG! is more clever and often times more inappropriate for kids than its detr...

Zeon you seem unable to grasp the difference between a company or even a medium catering to a bunch of different audiences vs. a single franchise/story. From my perspective it's you who seems unable to grasp that no one is asking for the current Pokemon anime to take a sudden turn towards making ad...

Just throwing it out there, but these numbers are a little off. The Kindle editions are $6.30 a piece, making the whole series $264 total if you're going to collect all 42 volumes digitally. oof lol. Sorry, my bad. Alternatively, you can pick up the entire DB and DBZ collections for $80 and $135 re...

Deadpool and Spawn have always catered to older audiences. I fail to see your point. The allowance of their very creation and publication is evidence of the industry growing and expanding to cater to multiple demographics. The point is that the comics industry made a sorted effort to appeal to more...

Sorry, my bad still. What about getting the manga on Amazon instead of Viz On Amazon, you're looking at a little less than $6 per digital volume, totalling $240 for all the volumes, or $15 per 3-in-1 volume for roughly $200 for the entire run, or $20 per VizBig collection for roughly $280 for the w...

Disney isn't a franchise. Dragon Ball is. Disney has a bunch of different franchises, but it's not one in and of itself. he comic bubble burst in the '90s had nothing to do with the stories growing up and fans bucking back against it, and entirely to do with them becoming a speculative market like ...

Young people can and will die from COVID-19. Being immune-compromised is not something only the elderly are. Every time we go outside to be around others we run the risk of killing some twenty year old kid. Trust me, I know first hand as my immune system has been compromised since my premature birt...
