You can’t seriously believe this or you really have 0 knowledge of comic books in general lmao

no he’s right, you’re a moron

Baki is too f***in funny but i can only watch 4-5 episodes at a time before i start forgetting who is fighting who and for what

oh yeah you’re a f***ing dumbass, i’m blocking you

I've read all the ''dark'' (lol) stories such as frank miller's works and image comics along with dark horse but nor hellblazer nor sin city have the depth of aot and op. S***, even the uchiha clan by itself is more multilayered than most comic characters....the only one that comes close is spawn and even spawn is a reach

That's baki's appeal tho

it's absurdity and insane character introductions....baki has an Ali knockoff, a 100+ year old dude that can destroy walls, a man with weapons in his bones and even a walking poison fighter that can literaly suck oxygen off his palm

if you want a character driven-crazy fights manga/anime then Hokuto no Ken and Hajime no Ippo are a better choice for you

on the fighting manga/anime topic....I really loved megalo box. Modern classic. It felt what spike from cowboy bebop would be like if he was a boxer. S*** was impeccable

No, he’s completely wrong. Naruto is a generic story lmao and I’ve read the entire story. One piece is classic but still there are stories better

Invincible isn’t multilayered now? Spawn is way more layered than anything in Naruto, what are you saying? The whole planet hulk to world war hulk saga isn’t multilayered? Literally every major Saga isn’t multi layered? Prophet isn’t multilayered? Black Hammer is the epitome of multilayered. Sandman, which is written by one of the most revered authors of modern times isn’t multilayered? Y’all really have no clue what you’re talking about 😂😂😂

There’s way more comic books than manga so you’re not making lick of sense lmao. And for superhero books from the big 2, each writer has a different style and characters have had 100s of different writers telling a different rendition. If you prefer manga cool, but please stop with the cap.

there's a reason i said ''to each his own''...i dunno if you can comprehend this but our vision of multilayered and deep MIGHT be different...crazy, I know, right?

but just think, mark, think!

pokimane got me like ^^^

Well, when you take a decade to write about one consistent character that would be obvious.

one? just corazon off the dresrossa arc has more depth than these comic book superheroes

and I'm not even mentioning any of the actual Straw Hats or Antagonists

and if we talking decades...tezuka's influence>>>action comics run

I was referring to just writing about Naruto and Luffy.

How about we appreciate how both the east and west influence and rip off each other?

Naruto was introduced as a child in the manga while guys like Superman and Ironman were full blown adults by their first appearance

You should watch/read ashita no joe if you liked megalo box!

the east is not ripping off the west...the west is ripping off the east

seeing it as a win-win situation is not real

the east never had to conform to what westerners would like...and even if they did it was based on financial success not cultural influence

so western money still influenced s*** on the west?

Black Lagoon - Heavily influenced by 90s Hollywood action movies.

Tiger and Bunny - Heavily influenced by western superhero comics. Set in America.

Baccano - Set in prohibition-era New York.

Gunslinger Girl - Set in Italy.

Gankutsuou - Based on the classic French novel by Alexandre Dumas

Psycho-Pass - Heavily influenced by western sci-fi authors Philip K. D*** and George Orwell.

BECK - Influenced by American Rock and Roll culture. One of the characters is modeled after Flea, the bassist for Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

there's a lot of old school stuff I wanna check out and ashita no joe is def one of em...I didnt forget your rec of this yet

Comic books and manga are too different to be compared lmaooo, from the way they are written to their serialization to the fact western and eastern writing are completely different in tone and focus. Also manga wasnt influenced by comic books lol, maybe some authors like horikoshi but not the entire medium

F***ing Jojo owes a lot to western influence
