Why does this forum have so few threads about quality comics?

I see so few threads about comics that are critically acclaimed like Ex Machina, Fables or even Justice. It doesn't even have a discussion thread for novel comics ideas like the 52. All I see is people talking about the online comics they have downloaded for free, is this because the real comics fans the ones that actually buy comics don't put pirate scans of comics with a more adult theme up to be stolen?

Does anyone on this forum read these kind of good comics?

Is it because the fans on here mainly don't understand the concepts in these comics and just want flashy "cosmic" fights rather than good stories?

Or maybe you just have some sort of superiority complex that you need to get fixed?

If you like the comics then make threads about them. Stop being a b.itch.

Judging from this reply, I will go with, "they are mostly to young to understand the issues involved".

I'm sure Justice has had a few threads as well.

But yeah, if you think a comic deserves a thread and discussion, start one.

And I'll go with "Some people have better things to do rather than making 111 posts in two days."

When you make a showing of being a pretentious comic fan with no life, it's better not to act like a badass.

Expect that to drop off when I go back to school. No the last two days I have had nothing better to do with my time.

Really!?! You could turn your life around and go back to school or get a job. Girls will like you more.

They pop up every now and again, but yeah, they don't get as much discussion as other threads. It's a pity, but that's justn how it is. If you want to see more, make some.

That's good thinking, I thnik I will. Thank you. Some of you on this forum are very polite. Maybe it will improve a bit if I do make some slightly more interesting threads. Instead of GALACTUS (FUL POWER) V TENEBREOUS (WITH INFINITE GANLETS) yes I know it's spelt wrong, that's just one of the points i'm making.

Eh it's all about opinion when making threads and what people like is purely subjective.Just because they don't read the comics that you find good does not reduce they're intellegence in any way,it simply means that they're taste differ from yours,and whilst i can see that wsn't your angle that first post was very condescending.

Of course taste is subjective, however surely you get bored with the same things over and over and I disagree about what you read reducing your intelligence, not your post or most of the others in this thread but some of the stuff on this forum I have read over the last few days really does reduce your intelligence. I was reading some thread, which was like the Hardy boys mysteries, all this "gang" needed was a "virtual" clubhouse for their "members" and yes I know "member" has another meaning. They were hilarious but a bit pathetic.

Maybe some of the content of this forum could knock down your I,Q however maybe it is your intellegence that needs a look if all you can truly gather from comics is "big flashy battles" several people on this forum read comics due to the Characterization that they find in them and the social issues that the author's convey through their work,so love don't act condescending when you yourself are showing ignorance.Now about that Clubhouse remark what is your point exactly? if you find those threads distasteful or boring just leave them be,start your own or find ones you do enjoy,and it should be easy but still creating threads simply to show superior intelligence or disdain for anothers lack of it is not good way to show an advanced intellect just makes you look pretentious not bright.

Bizarrely alot of people seem to have incredible in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of Marvel and D.C. so called philosophy, I really cant understand why people would want to read such 'mumbo jumbo' ? If you want ethical theories in a fable context read anything by Alan Moore. If you want crazy concepts and modern scientific philosophy, read Warren Ellis and even Grant Morison. I have the impression most people are reading comics to find characters who can do well on this vs forums, which also seems utterly bizarre, as the most powerful character hardly ever feature in decent comics. There are exceptions; Sandman and Lucifer come to mind.

A most expected response from a kmc member, mind you i think its very rude to call a little girl a '*****', shes only 17. I'm am though surprised that you didn't use the typical Kmc retort, i.e. refer to her as a sock.

E.g.

good for you, for trying a little harder. smile
