/co/ - Comics & Cartoons

Why would Marvel even need an "Official Fanfic a-

Oh. It's an easy way to steal free stories since their current writers are probably equally "talented".

>>956751

>no guns

>no death

So fanfics involving the Punisher and Thanos's waifu are banned

>no aliens

Shi-ar empire, skrulls, kree, tons of others, banned

Galactus, Silver Surver, Bet Ray Bill, the GotG, banned

>no bad language or traditional substitute for bad language

Oh come the $#!% on

> proxies for bad or offensive language

You can't say "What in the world is going on here?" or "My dang old car is acting up again."?

>>956751

>And then Peter Parker and Petra Parker, kissed in the radioactive spider webs and both Peter and Petra became super pregant(lol) with the same baby, who's name would become Mellany Parker who would get Thor's hammer and Tony Stark would make her her own spider suit using Doctor Strange's magic and the Infinity Gauntlet.

>By Mellany Sterling.

This is what is acceptable on that app.

>>956751

>>No politics, like alternative lifestyle advocacies, lobbyists, PAC sites, political campaigns, social issues)

So its only OK when Marvel does it?

>>956768

Ooh! Tumblr is going to have a bitchfit that lesbos and faggots aren't considered normal or safe for children according to this app.

Fuck I did not see this thread. I deleted the other one I made.

For the subject at hand… Don't get me wrong, I find this a stupid idea, but its utterly hilarious they banned "politics". This is a thing that gets SJWs really assblasted because they can't use it to push propaganda or dwell into their psychopathic fantasies. Look at this guy's reaction when NeoGAF decided to ban politics after their owner was exposed as a sex offender https://archive.is/xD5gp

>>956765

Honestly, that's less of a Mary Sue than half the characters Marvel trots out nowadays.

This Mellany Parker seems to have well thought out how she's related to the heroes and isn't just an orphan with 400000 IQ that deduces the original heroes name and blackmails them to join.

The linked pregnancy(lol) opens up interesting stories for Peter for 9 months, also.

Bravo, Mellany! Please go work for Marvel and right this ship.

So, because this is official, it means safe in paper for -13yos right?

>>956779

Ugh, I pulled "Mellany" out of my ass. The radioactive pregnancy was based on a skit parodying Sonic OCs, and THAT was from Fucking Dorkly! Is Marvel really that bad these days?

Also I have a strong urge to write an "approved" fanfic for this app, and totally 4kids it. Like, use Finger pointing as guns and exaggerate it 200%, and totally cheese everything.

>>956783

If it ends up good, post it. I'd draw that

>>956788

I was thinking Spider-Man. No other hero you can do better to parody, his story ks too well-known. Plus, SpiderMan's motivation for being a hero is now:

>"Somebody pointed their finger at Uncle Ben!"

>"…"

>"It was very rude!"

Of course, we'd lead it all up to a confrontation with the only villain who'd matter in a comedy like this: Doom. Classic Doom.

>>956791

Sounds good to me

>>956791

You need to figure out how to work within the lines.

"No guns" is bypassed by thugs threatening people with melee weapons and molotovs or using lasers (either given them by criminal corporation, or Marvelverse has so many super scientists lasers are now mundane). Alternatively avoiding "mundane" thugs in favor of robots with buzzsaw hands, magic users ect. No death, politics or drugs makes the natural source of conflict be kidnapping, heists, and protection rackets.

Detective stories are pretty natural story that can easily with these restrictions and don't really need to make any major compromises beyond not being a murder (and murders are so overdone for detectives anyways).

>>956793

>>956797

>>956791

>>956783

>>956788

>tfw this is Cebulski's secret plan to make fun comics for kids back to MARVEL with responsible editorial control.

>>956798

Even as rough a shape as Marvel is now, I really doubt that someone didn't know much these rules advantage detective stories.

>>956812

What Marvel characters work well with Detective stories? Only one I could name off the top of my head is Punisher, but he'd struggle with the "No killing" rule.

>do not mention movie studios other than Marvel or Fox

>no other amusement parks to be depicted or mentioned other than Disney's

>no parodies of Marvel, Disney, or ads/advertisers

>no sexualization

>the lower age limit for creators is 13

<initially available only if you are physically based in the United States, Canada, Australia, or Singapore (for some reason)

WHAT ARE VPNs

>>956814

Luke Cage, Dakota North, Daredevil. Reed would make a good detective, he'd forensic science the FUCK out of things.

>>956855

Oh yeah, and Daughters of the Dragon, and Jessica Jones.

>>956815

With Moon Knight there are some similarities between him and Batman but I think he has some stuff in common with the Shadow.

>>956856

What about Jessica Drew?

>>956751

>Obscenity, bad or offensive language or proxies for bad or offensive language (like $#!%)

Are 'heck,' 'dang,' 'poop,' and 'smart Alec' banned too?

>>956797

>Detective stories are pretty natural story that can easily with these restrictions

It really depends on the way in which Marvel will enforce the rules. Elaborate heists and such can be classified as sensationalism. Who ate the cookies or hero convincing people not to jaywalk are probably the only kinds of stories that definitely won't get banned.

>>956791

>Doom

>Sorcerer/Mad Scientist clad in spooky armor

Banned for sensationalism and frightening content

>>956815

>Isn't Moon Knight a Batman clone?

Kind of. He tends to do more brawling and less thinking than Batman. He also has serious mental issues like depression, multiple personality disorder, schizophrenia, addictions and so on depending on the writers. Not sure how well that would sit with Marvel's app. Costume is also spooky, so it could be axed for disturbing imagery.

>>956751

>No politics, like alternative lifestyle advocacies

I'd view that to be a good thing generally, but I have the feeling they're defining "alternative lifestyle"to be something akin to "monogamous intraracial heterosexual relationships"

>>956751

We've updated the Comics Code Authority

>>956751

>COME JOIN OUR FUN* NEW COMMUNITY AND SHARE YOUR FANFICS

<*Warning: "Fun" is not allowed.

I didn't think fanfiction was still a big enough thing to warrant and sort of investment, let alone an app or website. Even weirder that they'd think the kind of people who still write fanfics in the year of our Lord CY+2 wouldn't want to talk about sex, faggotry, politics, or death. Do they think their mythical Kamala Khan invisible fangirl fanbase will flock to this to write comics about Nigger Spider-Man and Nigger Captain America going to coffee shops and playing rock, paper, scissors?

>>956751

>>No politics, like alternative lifestyle advocacies, lobbyists, PAC sites, political campaigns, social issues)

Literally the only thing they got right.

>>956760

underrated post

Hah, they're finally resorting to scouting the fanfic writers for talent, now they've realised the SJWs work cheap but turn everything they touch to shit and wank.

>>956963

>Why hire cheap when you can get content for FREE?

Based on the restrictions, I'd be surprised if they get *any* worthwhile content to use.

Marvel creatives struggle to come up with content when there are no restrictions at all.

>>956941

>>956853

>Make the site for users above 13 years of age.

>Content allowed is LITERALLY below G rated.

Yeah, I can see this being a success.

>>956751

Unless they walk back a little on a few of these, this is gonna be one hell of a train wreak. Some of these are outright stupid or so vauge as to include damn near anything.

All that said, I voted Tigra in that poll for heroes they have on their site. She deserves better, she's the true best Marvel Heroine.

>>957002

>not voting Power Pack

>>957006

To be fair, that right pic is kind of a cherry-picked generalization, since both examples aren't from actual comic books (top is clearly from Stan Lee and John Buscema's How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way, bottom looks like it's from a reference sheet). It'd be better to compare the original art from those years.

>>957014

Tigra is pretty dumb tbh, but yeah, sjws would ruin her. They ruin everything

Couldn't be too hard to start a comic publishing company to compete with these fucking faggots.

>>957029

Theoretically we could. Hell, I could even see how we could do it ourselves. Just do what Webtoon is doing, with "free" comics backed by ad-revenue, then eventually branch out into publishing physical copies, a la standard Webcomic procedure, then continue until we can branch into physical distribution.

>fanfiction app

>Official fanfiction app

What a time to be alive.

>>957032

Why not? There's really nothing stopping anybody, you just have to get organized. I'd say go for it.

They really need to specify that some of these rules only apply to the heroes or villains. Are bank robbers going to only use coshes? Are cops, meeting Hulk on the rampage, going to use calming language (even though that would be more likely to work than shooting him)?

It seems like they're using this as a pool for illustrated story books, of the "Lex Luthor stole forty cakes" variety, for super young children, than for actual comics.

>>956941

Those rules are not for their "professional" comics, if they were we wouldn't be having Trump as MODOK, Slavic Nazis and other ridiculous propaganda.

>>957014

IIRC she appeared in a fullbody concealing suit during Secret Empire. You can thank Nick Spencer for that.

>>957083

Any other terrible things Spencer did to her?

>>957014

You have a point. On the one hand i'm sad she's not being used, on the other hand, I should probably be overjoyed she's not being used.

>>957211

Wait, wait. Work? With you guys? No Fucking Way. As far as I'm concerned, you're all the worst dregs of humanity that I have ever had the displeasure of reading the opinions of, far worse than the Libcucks you claim to be better than in the mere fact that they at least pretend to value social interaction and their fellow man, and the only reason I care to associate with you folks is because you're the only people who don't have an echo chamber where your opinions should be, and I'm at least secure in the knowledge that I'm one, mild step above you all because I'm actually going to therapy for my issues.

Also new semester of college started, and there's a whole bunch of drama going down with the GF's friend getting pregnant and her boyfriend leaving her, so I've got no time to start anything extremely frustrating like a comic startup anyway.

>>956751

>No guns

Can we give them a FUCK FLICK KNIFE instead?

this gives me a great idea

>>957211

Don't come here that often, and when I do all I see are mountains of DC and Marvel trash.

Must have missed that, can you give me a quick rundown?

>>957214

Why write up a whole fucking paragraph on why you don't want to be at the forefront of a new comic publishing industry unless you want it shut down.

>>957214

I made it like half way through that post before the pretentiousness turned me into a hipster faggot.

>>956941

>no discrimination based on race, sex, etc

<discrimination based on mutant powers still okay

Who wrote this bigoted shit, the president of Genosha?

>>957283

disregard this, I suck cocks

>>957214

>t. 1 year newfag.

Don't worry, you'll grow out of it.

>>957214

Wew lad 2/10

>>957266

some anons wanted to create a /co/mic about a raccoon in a squad police and a cat vigilante, its a nice idea but there is only a draw fag even good at it and the rest is ideaguys that's why every time it loses people's interest and get 404 after 80replies

>>956858

Isn't it what [current year] Marvel has been doing for some time?

>>957214

10/10. Copied and pasta'd for future use.

>dabbing

Marvel is truly an expert at the craft of giving negative expectations and then shitting out something even worse

bleedingcuck reported that most of the characters there are pay-to-use.
