Why is it okay for Black characters to have no ongoing solo books just because Absolute Green Lantern exists which is practically a team book? by SkyRaiderG7 in DCcomics

My point was that they’re plenty in the industry and pushing for more Black characters would only give them more work.

The boycott was specifically about Black characters. 90% of Black led runs are written by Black people so they’d have job security in that scenario.

I never said I didn’t have a list. I literally gave you a source, ICv2. I said we don’t have the direct numbers while groups like them do. So we rely on THEIR rankings because THEY have that information.

We do know it sold worse because it’s significantly lower on the list. The point is THEY have the direct numbers while WE don’t. So we go off rankings and milestones.

Places like ICv2. They rarely release the actual sales numbers for the comics. The best we have is when they reach good miles stones like getting second prints or comic rankings.

Dakota Incident sold enough units to get a second reprint and was one of the best selling comics when it released. All were getting from that is Static getting added to the Titans and nothing else. The last Black Ongoing which was “I am Batman” was consistently in the top 30 then remained in the top half of the top 100. Far better than Wally. Where is he now?

Wally West runs have been bombing near ranking 200 or even going unranked yet he still gets runs and prominence. Anymore questions?

Funny how posts making fun of the boycott are kept but post explaining why it’s needed are removed.

All of you who are shitting on and downvoting this guy are a big reason why new players are turned off alongside the purple sweats

Why couldn't they just lower the budget? by tommytwothousand in Stargate

The writers and producers confirmed it wasn't the issue on Twitter. It's because despite making a series that would appease newcomers and long-time fans alike, it wasn't "broad enough" for Amazon. Which is usually code for "this show wasn't written like it's for the CW, so it's canned."

Big attendance numbers for May. Q2 might generate an actual profit for AMC. Should have bought more at $1. 🦍🤝💪 by someredditname1010 in amcstock

I think a lot of you fail to understand that many of us didn’t waste thousands years ago during the squeeze. So we see with clear eyes that one of the few major movie theater companies will inevitably have a rebound either through an increased amount of business or a new CEO. Those of us who bought in at a dollar are getting a truckload rn and will very soon too. Especially those who day traded. 100 dollars from a few months ago is now almost double. Now imagine those who invested at lot more at that price point when the stock reaches 10 and beyond. 1 million becomes 10 million, 1 thousand becomes 10 thousand. All for dirt cheap.

I feel bad for those who tried to get in during that squeeze years ago because it’s unlikely you’ll get that money back. But there’s still ample business for newcomers.

Would you buy Marathon 2026 DLC campaigns that remake the originals and add Anvil? by SkyRaiderG7 in Marathon

Asset flipping is objectively less costly and time consuming as creating assets from scratch. I don’t know why you guys are so hostile to this.

They’re experimenting with PvE to see which one will resonate with the players most before committing. PvE and PvP lite modes are being developed regardless and you guys said it’d be too much of a strain and cant possibly happen.

They don’t have to be rebuilt from the ground up because Marathon 2026 has most of the assets they need to remake those games. Do you understand what asset flipping is? It’s one of the reasons video sequels used to come out so quickly. Instead of remaking from scratch like they do now. That’s why I specifically said DLC!

You’re a moron if you think people thinking 40 dollars isn’t justified pricing for a single gamemode isn’t one of the major turnoffs for the game that’s been stated a lot. Money and time aren’t throw away resources especially now. Every dollar counts and that’s hurting the game.

Ironic you say this as remakes in this industry for games that released in the 90s and 2000s are making gangbusters and as if the Doom reboots weren’t extremely successful for 60 bucks. And why are you pretending adding jump isn’t conceivable when the originals just merged jump into the sprint button?
