lolllllllllllllll

The only thing more amazing than the human brain is all the horrible things that can go wrong with it.

>tfw your also a 29 year old vietnam vets as well in 2018

At least he wasn't some stolen valor guy. He really thought he'd beenn in vietnam.

That would actually be a good supporting character for a movie/tv show.

so he was mentally ill or dissatisfaction

he thought he was a real vet

There's one younger guy comiserating with a bunch of Vietnam vets about their experiences. Someone pulls one of them aside and asks what's up with that one guy who's a good 30 years younger than everyone else, and obviously lying. The guys explains to him the guy isn't lying *per se* He genuinely believes he is a Vietnam Vet since a car accident.

holy shit thats epic

So they let him hang out. Especially since he then only one who's back/knees aren't messed up.

Bleah

Ok

Ready for my doomsday prophecy for how the ruinous powers will eventually destory anime and manga?

drop it sonnn

Ok this is gonna be on the long side.

Let's start with American superhero comics. We'll get to the anime eventually.

Superman was created in 1938. While hollywood had a relationship with the character since the beginning, it took them until 1976 to really, really nail it hard.

ok super man got it

Sorry 1978. That's forty years.

After that they tried to get it to work again, but didn't really succeed until 1989's Batman movie

That's another eleven years.

After that they *still* had a ton of trouble translating comics to film. Which doesn't make much sense. You could Literally use a comic book as a storyboard.

and at least part of a script.

true

But they kept plugging away trying to crack that nut. there were some successes (Blade, Spider-Man) but Marvel themselves eventually nailed it so Hard with Iron Man that Disney bought them.

Since then, marvel at least has been cranking it out.

So it took from 1938 to 2008 to really perfect superhero movies. Now it's a major part of the Hollywood landscape. Huge moneymaker.

Now I have to ask you a terrible question. Are you Familiar with Bob Chipman?

yeap

That will save us some time. Watch this (cancer warning) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmXA08jzUfc

Just as an aside let's take a moment to reflect that we live in a world where Bob Chipman Is still alive. but total busicut got butt cancer so bad it turned him into an SJW before it killed him

Darkest freakin' timeline.

But I don't think Bob is wrong about marvel's long term game plan.

which is what

Despite Japanese comics doing gangbusters in their home market and aborad. The folks working marvel probably think print media is drying. So their long term plan is movies.

This is probably brought on by the idea that their *woke* ideas can't be failing on their own merits.

So it's just gotta be the media is dying. So movies are the future. They gotta plan for the futre. In their minds that means they've gotta futureproof it.

That means "diversifying" their stuff so they have a BK Kids club to replace their aging actors.

You can actually see what they would consider a success in how much money Black Panther made.

But here's the thing

jesus that guy was soyyeddd
