Honestly, I'm just glad to hear Puerto Ricans being mentioned

Someone is like "Let's kill all the Puerto Ricans" and I just go "That's me!quokka-smile "

Must have loved that Smiling Friends episode

Did you know that I’m Puerto Rican living there or is this just a coincidence you made the comment?

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

I'm Puerto Rican too!

Not living on the island though

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I actually mentioned Puerto Ricans today. Namely that I've never seen my Puerto Rican friends or co-workers ever have a bad hair-day. In any case, giving up on this round of growing out a ponytail.

My barber doesn't believe that all I do with my hair is shampoo and conditioner

Naturally thick and wavy

Anything from Hollywood is mostly insulting to everyone outside America

Edit : and a few people in America too, but may a plague be on your houses anyway

Dunno. The only way i'm willing to interact with anything Garth Ennis has touched is gonad kicking, or locker shoving. I hate that man. He's like the platonic ideal of shitty caring about things is dumb gen x whiny nihilism.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago

Like nobody writes damaged tough guys like Ennis, but at the same time he really doesn't touch on why they're damaged aside from A) Dead Family or B) Made to do Bad by poindexters

Like I appreciate his iconoclast work (because it's funny to see Wolverine getting run over by a steamroller) and Hitman and Punisher MAX are amazing

But yeah, guy really needs to look into a mirror to see that his love of Army men is basically no better than someone being too into to superheroes

There is a crossed movie in the makes and I'm just walter-yell

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think they scrapped it because there's no way to make it live action without getting an NC-17 rating. There was a Crossed-like film from Taiwan a few years ago. Less SA than Crossed, but it was still there (offscreen) and a lot of blood.

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

God I can only hope, it's an okay concept that just gets run into the ground bc the author needs to be an edgelord

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

Yeah most of the series is just bad. A few of the ones written by Ennis were okay. Fatal Englishman, Smokey and the twins, and the prehistoric crossed story were actually decent. Plus 100 was actually good, but that's because it was written by Alan Moore. Everything else was just blegh. Edgy for the sake of being edgy. The art quality plummets off a cliff, too.

Glad I pirated the series and never bought any actual comics lol

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What the actual fuck? How? It's like 200 pages of people being torture raped to death while they look directly at the reader saying "you're a dumb asshole for caring about anything at all".

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago

Garth Ennis has made one "good" series (I hate it anyway) and The Boys and Crosses aren't it. Every one of his stories has torture porn and uses sexual assault as a punchline.

It's disgusting. His stories are so bad.

This screams nepobaby director trying so hard to ride off the success of The Boys.

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

From someone who read most of the comics(for some fucking reason):

lol this is going to suck so bad

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's Garth Ennis ofc it's going to be bad.

The boys is so much better because they almost completely dropped his idea and comic when making the show.

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I maintain that some of the Crossed comics have artistic merit. Some. Soooome.

Old mate Garth only wrote the first run and some parts of the later stuff. His initial run is solid enough, assuming you have the stomach for it and don't find gore distasteful.

Crossed: Wish you Were Here (aa free webcomic not written by Garth) is actually solid but also it has (cw: necrophilia)

TitleA nun fucking herself with a severed arm.

So its a mixed bag.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Plus One-hundred would be interesting because of the linguistics Moore was playing with that would make sense to hear vs. read. The miniseries also explored rehabilitation of the infected, even if there isn't a cure. It's similar to I Am Legend with its original ending.

It would probably be better to write something from the ground up, seperate from the Crossed franchise. The kind of people who would enjoy seeing...that...are also the kind of people who wouldn't be interested in how language changes, the moral implications of the inherently evil, how that affects people not inherently evil, rebuilding civilization because it's not the first time humanity has experienced an apocalypse, etc.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

I get why Ennis is so nihilistic. He did grow up during the Troubles and saw shit like car bombs going off in civilian areas or the Black and Tans beating the shit out of people when they weren't just straight-up killing them. You see violence like that as a kid and it's going to create a warped worldview.

I suspect Palestinian children now who survive to adulthood are going to have similar outlooks on life.
