What does this have to do with Blades in the DarkTBH I don't think comics were all that original BITD
Tho I will say the prevalence of Whedon-esque dialogue isn't really something I dig.
I must be the only person who still enjoys that. But it's got to be done in moderation. I feel like some of the latest Marvel movies have gone "More is better!!!" which generally I approve of but it's not working for me for some reason.
I do enjoy some of it. I mostly quite enjoyed Robert Downie Jr doing it for example, he's more of an exception than the rule.I must be the only person who still enjoys that. But it's got to be done in moderation. I feel like some of the latest Marvel movies have gone "More is better!!!" which generally I approve of but it's not working for me for some reason.

I think the pub is medicine for the malaise of the 21st century. It's my daily dose of people reacting proportionately to things instead of going to extremes.I've been tempted to from time to time. I can't help but think of how much more productive I would be without the distractions.

If they hadn’t come to our planet, lost a war with Neanderthals during the Million BC war, we’d all be dead.Especially when it comes to geese
Some say Grokk the 'Wise' was far too compassionate for his time. He couldn''t bear to smash their eggs and kill their goslings.I never understood why Grokk the ‘Wise’ let them live among us after the treaty of Mallard Down.
Goose-lover!You lot are as bad as the 'Thanos was right' crowd. Grokk the wise was called that for a reason. His treaty let us live after the Geeses strategic loss to the Neanderthals allowed them to triumph over the homosapiens but allowed us to live in fear under their benevolent tyranny.
Sherlock Holmes told from the PoV of Moriarty mixed with Japanese folklor
teen romance comedy of manners with shapeshifting inserted, , a philosophical exploration of artificial intelligence developing in the internet attempting to communicate with and experience the outside world, a neglected orphan who accidentally earns a favour from a Lovecraftian Old One and wishes for them to take the role of an elder sibling they never had,
a werewolf systematically taking on the yakuza organized crime families,
Tell me about these. I recognize most of the others...
I've missed such madness.Call me goose-lover all you want. When our feathered overlords rise up to sweep away the masquerade of mammalian hegemony, I'll be sat at their right wing, not getting eaten. And where will you be?
Getting eaten. That's where.

You can but I'll hand it right back to you. I refuse your resignation!No, your not! A good story means I will enjoy a movie/show once. A good story with Whedonesque dialogue means I can rewatch the movie/show an indefinite number of times and still love it. Whether it Firefly, the MCU movies or the Justice League animated series (not scripted by Whedon but with the same stlye of dialogue) it's the banter that keeps me coming back. Whether it's Fury asking captive Loki is "Real power wants a magazine" or Cap telling Widow, with regards to Thor and Loki "There is only one God and I am pretty sure he doesn't dress that way", the banter is entirely in character.
The Deadpool and the lastest Thor movies push a different style of humour, and I can see how the more slapstick approach can undermine the drama and emotion. But Whedonesque banter, when done correctly, helps establish the character and is something I personally really enjoy.
So, do I hand in my Pub membership card ?

Wrong person. I have no feeling about 2d20. Never touched it yet. You can love it or hate it and I'm ambivalent.What if I start praising the 2D20 syst... no I can't get myself to even finish that sentence.
If it helps, I can tell you that Whedonesque is considered an insult when your manuscript is appraised by professionals.Oh writing gods, deliver us from this nuisance.
I don't know. I've been reading a lot of the old British 60s & 70s stuff like Fran of the Floods and The Spider and the creativity and passion leaps off the page. And this is all strips that I'm not old enough to have read the first time round, so it's not simple nostalgia.TBH I don't think comics were all that original BITD, but we were kids then. Things will naturally look different nowadays.

So, it smells of drug use and nervous breakdown?If it helps, I can tell you that Whedonesque is considered an insult when your manuscript is appraised by professionals.
It's lazy, bores the reader to death and smells like a spoilt rich kid who killed a friend at summer camp.
The dialogue in the Avengers movies seemed in character to me for the most part. A couple times it moved into forced comedy, but not very often.No, your not!

There's a strange dynamic in recent movies where all the violence/death/villain things are happening, but then everything else is comedy around it.

What I find interesting is the increasing number of creators who do the mainstream stuff and the creator controlled stuff as well.There are lots of good comics in every era, including now, but most of the good work in American comics these days imo is in the creator controlled non-superhero comics.
Marvel comics had a good run from the 60s to the late 80s approx. but even then there are loads of disposable storylines. In general the artwork tended to outstrip the writing even in those days though.
Thank you for admitting this. Please submit yourself to The Hague for your war crimes trial.I have a terrible secret I have to share with you guys. You've been so kind and welcoming that I feel bad keeping it secret any longer...
I....

I am actually a goose in real life. I only pretend to be a human on the internet for the attention.
