god damn fucking comic geeks

[thehefner]

And all at once, I remember why I stopped posting on comic book message boards in the first place.

These are the same people who either suck up and wank over every single "hot" comic coming out today, or they're the people who bitch and moan and complain about everything (and yet, I'm willing to bet money, still buy the crap they complain about).

The world is filled with total fucktard smartasses who'd rather make a snide or obnoxious comment than to actually engage in intelligent discourse. These guys are like, "Hm, sure, I can see what he's saying, but it'd be funnier if I purposely missed the point to make a snarky comment!" I think Jay and Silent Bob were right, sometimes I just want to drive to these trolls' homes and knee them in the fourteen-year-old balls. But no, honestly, I just want to talk about comics without people being fucking dismissive smartasses. I'm just saying, it's hard enough to find like-minded people as it is.

Remember, kids:



Some folks think this level of wankery applies to scans_daily. Honey, you ain't seen wank till you've been on newsarama, aintitcool, or dccomics.com. Fucking comic geeks.

I'm a little afraid of message boards in general, and particularly comics ones. I mean, I've met comic book fans. I am one (and I can certainly be a dismissive smartass). I saw "Comic Book Villains". It's a cruel world out there if your soul's got its underwear on outside its pants, and they don't make it easier with their painfully un-witty snarkitude.
And worst of all, they're usually wrong! The bastards!

Aw, scans_daily's okay. They can be pretty funny when they're not trying to slash everyone in fake-existence (and sometimes when they are).

"Comic Book Villains"... what a frustrating movie. I mean, it's written by James Robinson, who as I said a couple posts ago is responsible for the "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" movie script and the shitty Batman "Face the Face" story... but he also wrote the brilliant "Starman." So he's a comic geek. Yet the movie's tone seems very anti-comics. At the end, the comic geeks destroyed themselves and the main character "grew up and discovered girls," which I found very insulting and crude. Especially coming from James fucking Robinson.

A cruel world indeed ("if your soul's got its underwear outside its pants," how poetic, I must remember to use that in my comic geek Hefner Monologue), and the only things worse than the dismissal by "normal people," are the obnoxious people of your own fandom. They give your fandom a bad name.

See, yeah, I like scans_daily for the vast majority of the time. They give me a reason to check my internet fifty times a day!

Exactly. "Comic Book Villains" is like those threads, but in movie form. It's like those movies where the freak girl gets a twin-set makeover, but with a guy. So depressing.

Oh GOD, you're right!

I mean, I love me some Breakfast Club and all, but seriously Ally Sheedy was so much more awesome before her makeover!

Oh God, you nailed it. It's like Clea Duvall in The Faculty all over again!

SO TRUE!

Word to everything you said here in this thread, with a side of whipped word sauce and word pie!
