Thats because the japs are a bunch of self hating faggots. Their society is clearly reflected in their entertainment. JRPGs are always linear as fuck, orderly and ronery single player whereas Western games open, fun, and often have online play. Modern manga always has overly perfect characters to the point of being fucking annoying and gay whereas characters in comics often have flaws and somewhat resemble reality.

You know what else is obsessed with visual perfection? American pop culture, which is a far better representation of American society than comics. To say that only the Japanese are obsessed with physical beauty is wrong, it's basically a universal human characteristic.

I'm not a huge manga fan/reader where some unrealistic shit superheroes play a role, but damn, at least sometimes they actually die.
I mean, how long is superman, spierman and that robot iron whatever thing and all that other generic bullshit.

If you're over 14 and still read "serious" comics then you're a fucknut, the problem however is that there are no comics that are actually funny for adults. Whereas there are mangas that have humour only adults really understand.

Please enlighten me. What would you call a "real" comic?
I am glad that you said "comic" though, because "graphic novel" is just a term used by adults to justify the fact that they are reading fucking comic books.

You know what's really sad? Watchmen was supposed to be a deconstruction of superhero comics that would eventually lead to a new, expansive, enlightened comic scene where we had more than just one stagnant genre of men in tights.

>> No.1913787

Quite simply, in comics there is nothing that competes with manga like Monster or Sanctuary that isn't Alan Moore. It seems that most comic writers are so self-conscious about the fact that they are writing FOR COMICS that once they pass a basic threshold of GRIMDARK, they think they are exploring a COOL NEW ART FORM free from criticism. It's kind of sad that people think that a comics versus manga debate is even worthy of anyone's attention when manga has explored entire genres that are completely alien to anything found in comics. When political thrillers, romantic comedies, war dramas, or serious adaptations of literature become common in comics, maybe I'll take them more seriously.

Western comics cater to an increasingly narrow and insular demographic. Sure, people will watch high-budget movies based on them, but do you think that makes them want to read the comics? Fuck no.

I agree somewhat. It seems as though Japanese literature has dramatically more variety and generally better quality than what is often put forth in America. The popular books published in English are usually just masturbation material going on about pretty guys, magic voodoo(vamped, twilight, historian), or spies and random bullshit like that. It seems mostly a problem with how American businesses approach the issue, mostly resorting to novels that appeal to as wide an audience as possible and ending up with really dull stories, while the Japanese come up with an ocean of crap that smaller groups would greatly enjoy.
