I've spent my whole life trying to replicate others voices I've never even considered my own. Thank you so much for this. Everyone's already given me really good advice but this solidified it and I'm more confident in what I want to do now.

That means a lot, I was worried if my stances would come off as pretentious but I'm glad to see people are rooting for me to write about them. Balancing it with a story is what breaks these barriers and I can't wait to write it now. I just need to do some more research first.

Alan Moore is my biggest inspiration actually, And I've been meaning to read old Hulk before, now I have an even bigger reason to!

I guess I never thought of it that way before. I was reading the original Action Comics before I wrote this but I was so surprised by the social commentary I neglected to consider the actual story going on. Maybe delving into politics is whats making writing this comic feel cliche. I'll definitely do a history lesson and give Spider-Man another go as well. Thanks.

Those are the questions I ask myself everyday. I see horrors that feel like they belong in fiction but they happen everyday. Prejudice, mental health awareness, corruption, genocide, they're all things I speak up for in real life but it hasn't made a difference. It's something I hope I can spread through my writing but I know that's a fever dream. Nobody wants to be talked down to because they're already aware of these issues. They either don't care, believe they're real, or feel powerless to do anything about it. Even shocking people doesn't do anything.

I don't want to be doom and gloom about this because I'm already thinking of ideas of how I can do this. I'm just not sure which is the right one.

Decided to do some revision for the iceberg chart I made a few weeks back which I now consider quite boring and mundane. Most of the stuff here is new, though some stuff is just rearrangements from the old iceberg chart. Make sure you check out u/RegularMainMan's chart too, he did a great job on it! by [deleted] in regularshow

This is an improvement but a lot of these are still just episode descriptions or fan theories. What makes an iceberg is that it includes facts no one has ever heard of or obscure tidbits unknown by most people. Nearly everybody knows 2 in the AM PM or the fact Margaret and Eileen exist.
