I thought the Snowflake and Safespace characters were parodies, then I realized he was serious. Also the one character is a hispanic girl with a magic backpack? Boy howdy that's original.
That was my take. This is all going to be dated as hell in 5 years. This is just pushing buttons that might speak to certain young people who may or may not care about comic books. It’s a desperate, scattershot attempt to generate revenue for the here and now with no regard to establishing something long-term.
This is literally in the video, they don't care if it will get dated. Also, everything is dated and most of comics are dependent of their context, althought people fail to understand it.
"this character has a tick tock. This character inherited a backpack. This character is nonbinary" You've just told me absolutely nothing about these characters. What do they want? Why do they want it? What do they fear? What are their obstacles? What obstacles are self inflicted and why? Why do they want to be heroes? Who are they really? You don't become a hero just for having a superpower.
@@ZackAleksandrowicz yea i think that would be better for what they wanna do... the characters would still need a personality tho but if its like a short series meant to be specificallly about this part of their lives i could see it work... But the thing is... they can still make relatable lgbt+ superhero stories.... they just need to give them actual personalities and they're good to go...
@@justagirl6761 They should make the villain of this comic the actual main character and he antagonizes and kills the heroes one by one. I would actually watch that.
ironically, there's one word to answer all of your question for these whackos : insecurity what do they want? to empower themselves with their insecurities(their powers are basically using their complex like how the safespace is basically shielding others from others) why do they want it? to overcome their insecurities(like one isn't obvious enough by having safespace as their superhero name, to show that even someone can overcome their tendency of running away by turning it into superpower) what do they fear? insecurities taking over them due to modern labels(mostly not getting any sort of acceptance from public) what are their self inflicted obstacles? also their insecurities(the way they thought people see them to the point those things became their powers) why do they want to be heroes? to fight insecurities that plagued modern labels(non binary, terminally online, etc) who are they really? the embodiment of their insecurities(snowflake, safespace, etc) tho most of these are only describing snowflake, safespace, and screentime, but you get the point
the fact that that they made one a reddit mod is just shouting they really dont know what they're doing, if the ben 10 backpack and "internet gas" didn't
Listen I'm no dc fan....but all i know is that batman's parents got killed and he went after the killer....isn't just that.....like how the fuck did they made him a cringy high school dude thats humiliating they threw the character's roots and replaced it with the most cringeist thing ever oh also the internet didn't exist when that dude was created and also the problem with every reboot *A LOVE TRIANGLE*
@Anaya Warren you know that you have a empty brain and no original ideas by making a loved character asian and younger and put him in a high school and make his helper (the old man alfired if i was right) gay i mean whats the point.....of doing this also see thats the problem with comics these days they think if you change the race/gender/age + shove politics into them they think thats the most creative thing i mean wasn't the death of his parents made him bat man then how is he in high school acting so happy shouldn't he be training and blood thirsty also joker turned into a bad guy because of how everyone treated him (if i was right).....like you know society not by bullying and being a coward and hitting up girls
The fact that they saw Bruce Wayne, a guy who's filthy rich but has severe trauma after the murder of his parents and has lived inside his manor with no parental figure further than his butler for his whole life, that's been completely oriented towards enlargening his business and his idealistic view of justice, and said "yep, this guy fits as the cool guy in a public high school rom-com"
@@frankenlafranken That was after he started being Batman to cover up his identity. Practically until he was an adult he spent his life depressed in Wayne Manor

The pregnant spider woman one must have been written by someone who has never been pregnant before. I'm currently 7 months pregnant and can't even get up after sitting on the floor. Doubt I'd be knocking out bad guys and swinging all over the city. All a bad guy would have to do to defeat me is sit me down in a chair
@@NopeasaurusWht these people don’t realize is that the narrative that 7 month pregnant women are “badass” and can “get it done” is an idea spun by corporations so that women don’t have to take leave when they are that late in their pregnancy. So that they don’t have to pay for said leave. These idiots are so simple minded, that they buy it, hook, line and sinker.
One of them has a TikTok, one of them has a fitness insta, one of them is basically the moderator for the mutant subreddit- Ok but what’s their backstory? What’s their personality like? What’s their goal, and what drives them to accomplish this goal?

I feel so bad for Stan lee and George Lucas, imagine spending so many years working on your passion just for some idiots to come and ruin you work for good reviews from other idiots
George Lucas chose to sell his Star Wars property to Disney… nobody forced him to do it. If he wanted his characters not to be ruined, then he should have kept control .
If the most important thing about your character is their age, sex, race or sexual orientation then they are not important. Those are physical traits not character traits.
Some of the biggest writers say that they write their character without gender and when they continue writing they realize that their character has more female or male behaviors. And that's how you write a character with reasonable feelings and not something like snowflake and savepace
Maybe if we chant loud enough he’ll hear us. But for, they’re fucking with his characters. Next they’re gonna make a female version to every male superhero.
To be honest, he could save the comic industry, but... ye, that is not happening, the sjw took over, What makes me also angry is that usually when they try the "fresh blood" they don't actually think of the agegroup they are representing. When I was going to highschool, we had an exam (english is not my first language so I dunno what is the correct term for that exam) where they had written slangs and we needed to match them with their correct meaning... My agegroup failed that part of the exam, because those slangs were not used by our agegroup. What I am trying to say is, theese people think that the new generation is stupid, or simply black and white when it comes to thinking and things they like or relate to, they insert politics, feminism and whatnot into the comics what were supposed to give people freedom from theese very problems.
Loved the video!💕 Just started my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They offer a huge variety of digital comics for every genre, and lifetime updates too!😍
I want to see a scene in these where some rando just grabs a shotgun, and goes downtown to start murdering drug dealers and users, and when the police yell at him to drop the weapon, he responds with: "It's OK, I'm over 21!"
Neffariousnyc My first thought as well. These comics already don’t understand or explore the concept of vigilantism, the pros and cons of it. This guy doesn’t even understand what it actually means.
Honestly, I now understand why some people say “Just don’t shove it in my face”. This isn’t representation, I’d more so like if none of the characters were LGBTQIA+ than this. Is this honestly what comic book writers and older generations think we like? They are so obsessed with being relatable that they forget to actually make them feel human instead of a sad excuse for a trendy character.
Fr,like this is my main issue with usual comics these days,we don't need LGBTQ characters or any of that,what most matters is a good story,you can add pieces and everything but making a well flexed story and interesting characters that feel relatable instead of a annoying political agenda,but you know that's just my thoughts,but ye good comment👍💯
@@samtheoverthinker ok but that isn't fair. You may not need lgbt representation becuse you aren't lgbt but not everything is meant to appeal to you. There are real lgbt kids that would love to finally see someone that is like them. A big part of comic book heroes or characters in media in general is they're most of the time supposed to be relateble. I still remember the first time i saw a piece of media that had male same-sex relationship that weren't either one-sided tokens for diversity or the butt of the joke from their straight peers...i was 16 when i experienced that. While i've never had problems consuming media made by and for straight audiences, it does bring that extra oomf when the characters in question are relateble with a big part of your psychology and identity. Lgbt youth deserve that in the form of lgbt characters. Heterosexual and cisgender characters are everywhere, so i understand why alot of people don't understand the need for lgbt representation but cishet people would feel the same as lgbt people if almost every single character was lgbt. Im not saying the writers of these stories are doing good by making the stories like in this video, far from it. Lgbt people also do not want half-baked tokenisms of characters. We are not 2 dimensional beings with a sparkly label. What the writers are doing wrong is they're making them caricatures rather than characters. If you're going to do this, you might aswell not try to write queer characters. And if you still want to include lgbt people regardless, do not try to write lgbt unique experience like coming out and facing homophobia/transphobia if you do not know how to. Just make it so that they're viewed exactly the same as straight people but with an opposite sex partner and viola, easy gay character. Leave the more emotional and granted more realistic parts of growing up/being lgbt to people that know how to do it. Im not saying make every character gay ofcourse. But for the lgbt being about 10% of the population, there's a serious lack of us in alot of media let alone ones that are well written and not just a token side character. It doesn't help that content created by lgbt people revolving around lgbt characters are pushed against in alot of companies and media and outright censored in alot of countries.
@@zenzonerzz4789 actually I'm queer lmao😭,I'm just saying it doesn't matter regardless and I just look forward for a good story is all,but ye complete respect to what you might want in a story
@@XwoooahX THIS COMMENT RIGHT HERE. Coming from a gay Latino, it’s literally like leading into the gay best friend stereotype where the only reason some popular girl wants some gay guy to be her best friend is because he’s gay and that’s it. It’s understandable that a large part of a character’s personality is developed depending on the culture they grew up with but it isn’t the only thing that makes a character. There are so many other aspects and so many writers hit and miss horribly.
Exactly treating just the fact that character is gay as a whole his personality is even more homophobic than not including them at all, same for the race, gender and anything else
You guys should try manga, in my opinion the stories in manga dont compare to dc and marvel comics cause they can do any type of story outside of heroes
Its funny how feminism written by men made female representation even worse. Daily reminder that "Holy Menstruation!" was an actual catchphrase in a Ms Marvel comic.
"...he was exposed to his grandfather's experimental internet gas." Those are words I thought I thought I would never hear put together but here we are in 2021 and this exists.
@@louisduarte8763 which kinds of begs the question….”why are they a cosplayer?” Cosplayers do it to play at being something less mundane. When you’re a costume wearing superhero I expect you’ll cherish the mundanity of normal life.
Preach it Sister. They are literally alienating half of the reader base. It's not just that they aren't making new interesting characters but they are drastically changing the classic favorites to their detriment
The whole point of the X-men was to represent other groups through the story. EVERYBODY can relate to them. So in order for mutants to exist with the narrative they need to be hated and endure to show that throughout the trials and tribulation, the X-Men are a representation of human bigotry. So Zoomers liking them makes no sense. This would mean they themselves are self aware in there own universe. They just missed the point of the X-Men all together and replacing it with an agenda that isn't suited for the story to begin with.
Manga and Manwha > comics. I beg you comic readers to please try some anime and manga because I can guarantee you guys would like it. I love dc and marvel but the story telling in manga don't compare to new comics.
Proper Anime I absolutely agree, not that I want to disrespect people taste. But I just can't get into Comic book, there is sooooooo many literation and alteration, so many retcon, Rebirth, Reboot, convoluted canoncy, alternate universe, parallel, also not being a western also contributed to not being able to buy or read comic since childhood, the only thing we could get from DC or Marvel is the animated and movie. Instead here in Asia import manga are flowing from Japan, the story was also made by only one writer, there is no weird inconsistency, nor a random people ruining the legacy.
My biggest problem isn’t that they are trying to write characters of different races, sexualities, or genders, it is that it’s the only personality of them. I have huge respect for Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse for taking Miles Morales, a character which I didn’t care for in the comics, and making him super endearing and full of personality. Miles is from the Bronx and is African American / Latino, if this was a modern DC comic that would be his whole personality, but although he is shaped by his background he is also so much more, he’s self conscious and creative, a real character moving and growing, not a mouth piece. I could not tell you a single other word about Snowflake’s personality other that “they are non-binary”.
@@Eosinophyllis I hate to say this and put you down but *what the hell was that webtoon description.* it feels like you're trying TOO hard for a personality to the point that they'll have everything at once and have no way to grow or change and will just end up as "personality confused pansexual jealous that best friend loves their boyfriend and not them. Oh and also an evil swan" when it drops. Now maybe if they started negative showed that caring side but was spiteful around that boyfriend although ultimately doing something stoic for her best friend and maybe the boyfriend despite her emotional judgement that could pose growth over episodes of understanding and acceptance while now keeping the spite of the love subtle instead of "guard dog best friend everyone finds annoying except friends" levels... As for that swan idk what all that is about. Maybe it could go along the plot or save it for another toon but it does seem like it's splitting the attention of the story 50/50 not in a good way but a out of place sore thumb way like i mentioned before But it ain't my story I'm just putting my 2 sense in cause i want any better story than I'm Not Starfire or this xmen comic. Take my advice with a grain of salt because all i won was a school writting competition in middle school/freshman lol
@@flamingice3085 Thank you for the advice! I’m a bit of a try hard and not super sure about what I’m doing, so I actually appreciate it! Also I promise it’s a lot less messy than the description.
I always felt like comics were a way to escape reality, imagine different worlds, be inspired and get creative. The last person I'm gonna 'relate' to is a tiktok influencer, that is not the everyday person or what everyday people want to become. We want our kids to dream of being smart and strong, inventing new things and helping people, talking up the use of social media is not the way to do that. I'm inspired by the OG comicbook heroes/vigilantes and will continue to re-read the same ones if this is what the future of comics looks like.
I promise you not all in the now comics are like this, I'm a sophmore in highschool and I read recent comics such as the Moon Knight 2021 comic and Nightwing fear state and those and comics alike DO in fact have good stories. I'm going to my local comic book store to see what I find but I'm pretty sure this woke political snowflake tiktok influencer stuff was just a one time thing pumped put by Marvel.
they could've went with something like a virtual reality gear which connects to the brain and projects the contents of the Vr via dreams, and somehow the dude overused it and the programs and the contents of the Vr are now stuck in his brain
Hate that my generation is being used as an excuse for pathetic writing. I could unironically slap down way better characters and I havent read a comic in years
Them trying to “diversify” the XMen when they have ALREADY been a symbol for the outcast and the mistreated since day 1 was so fvcking funny to me what are they even doing
I wondered at that, too. I loved the New Mutants (X-Men 2nd gen.) because Ororo was such a strong leader; Wolverine grew on me, but it took years. Nightcrawler was QUITE different, being small, "black" German, and having a tail. And he was so tender and perceptive! But I HATED what happened to Angel, when he lost his wings.
To be fair, Claremont, possibly the greatest X Men writer ever, made the good point that the original X Men team being an all white team that was supposed to represent diversity, was a bit of a problem, and that affected a lot of his writing decisions. And Claremonts run was GODLY, probably the greatest single X Men writing run.
And they wonder why manga sells more than comics. Comics now is basically a woke agenda that they are pushing to the people who dont even read comics. Like you will see people defend I'm not starfire haven't actually read comics and I can bet that they will never buy that comic.
Well, for once, I’m not Starfire is not a comic. It’s a graphic novel, non canon and no related to any major storyline in the Dc universe. Also, I don’t like the plot and find it extremely boring and uninteresting; but it is not Canon so, I can’t get angry for that. It’s a novel for teenagers, geez. Let it be.
Liam R3d I don’t care it is a graphic novel or not as long as a good story is written that what does matter. See how DC turned off the comments on twitter and RUclips and it is just a graphic novel for teenagers. Can DC just think little bit before deciding to publish it.
@@talxxn the thing is that for these teenagers I can bet u rn they would rather read manga cuz it's free and they dont have to pay and its easily accessible. That's why I say that they are selling to the wrong crowd. Like if you want to gain a new audience then do that no one is hating but when your methods of gaining the new audience is gonna make you lose your current audience then there is a problem.
Seeing grownass people trying to write "zoomer-like" stories and are so confident to think younger generations are going to love them, made me get stage 7 critical cringe Call an ambulance....
It seems kinda obvious thats a big part of the point. You're not supposed to think "he doesn't have friends ...he has followers .." Is cool. It's satirical
That could actually be a really interesting element of characterization to explore. How having followers instead of friends impacts the character mentally and emotionally, how the need for likes and upvotes have corroded away the lines between the performative self and the real self leading to a sense of unfulfillment and desperate need to be accepted. Maybe that could be the motivation to be a hero, only to realize it's ultimately the same thing, a performance and mask to gain approval of people they don't have any meaningful connection to. Over the course of the story they make real connections and the motivation changes to a desire to protect their new found family. It could be a whole growth arc. But I doubt any of that will be in it.
@@aduck1359 Its not written by 50 year old white dudes though, did you see all the interviews at the beginning of the video? Those are all Millennials and Zoomers in charge of the industry writing now.
@@neoasura not zoomers, zoomers aren't old enough to be given any creative control over comic books, these are millennial hipsters who want to be trendy and appeal to kids but without any idea firstly of what teenagers actually want out of a story and secondly of how to bridge the generation gap between older readers and younger ones despite it definitely being possible. They finished high school either before smart phones or just as smart phones were becoming a common thing so they don't understand how they and social media have affected the way kids grow up and form identities these days, and its extremely obvious. They see how connected young people are to the internet and they see nothing else, and this confuses them because its something they are not able to truly grasp as effortlessly as zoomers do. I wish these people would stop trying to be trendy and hip with the kids and just write stories they actually want to read because it doesn't matter how old you are I guarantee your story will be way more engaging to people of all ages if you yourself actually enjoy it.
@@neoasura no shiz, the entire point though is older people tend to push this on young writers and young creators. I think someone who is young realizes that social media isnt a "hip young person thing." It is something in the background. Not their personality. Like a comic character in the 2000s watching tv or playing video games in the background of a comic scene. Not the ENTIRE PLOT. So dumb, theyre using social media like a shtick
"A hero in my mind takes the moral high ground, and can be tempted back down - because they're only human". Beautifully phrased, lord. Superman's alter-ego; Clark Kent, is how he sees us. Human - it means we're feeble, but strong.
"One of them is the Moderator to a Mutant Subreddit" Remember, if you ever feel down and bad, someone made this character thinking it was going to be great.
And the worst thing is, it could actually be a good premise with a little more thought put into it. Mutant Subreddit = Place where the "weird kids" go to feel less alone. Moderator of said Subreddit = "I really care about this place and want it to be a safe place for other kids like me". The thing is that for a good story this needs to be shown, not told. The latest writers seem to leave all the stories for the readers' interpretation - probably to truly "maximize the inclusivity".
@@tedgreenwood2818 EXACTLY- like I know the guy said “wearing a derogatory term as a badge of honor” but yeah not the best idea for the very first nb character
Yeh and he can "Google at any time." Almost like anyone with a cellphone. All these stories suck. Are cringe. And are racist of low expectations. I want good stories.

@@duckseverywhere7087 Yeah if it's sanctioned by the government and publicly supported it's just heroism. If it's government supported and against public support it's authoratarianism.

Aint no precieved. Basically do not operate against Crime without Government Approval/support and Authority. If you do then you are illegally fighting Crime. Ive always hated How Vigilantism was Looked down upon by the Government. And they always spit that "well its for the safety of the people...its what Law enforcement are for" Crap. Ah...No! it is because you want to establish and keep a Bar that people need to stay in our place and know our place in the world and that police will always be a dominant approved force and if anybody henders that force without Authority...They are criminals. Also in Raw Honest Secret Truth...that they will never ever tell you by mouth, but they will throw the truth in Movies and books. So it will be up to you to look past the Hollywood magic to see the Message of Truth. But what they will not tell you is... Its most importantly so that somebody or Somebodies do not rise and move the people in Solid Unity against the government order...because that type of power DOES NOT DIE OFF once it is awakened. That type of torch does not go out. It just gets picked up by another sooner or later. Even if the person or persons have been caught and put behind bars for life or lets say...killed by the state then that will only leave for their philosophy to continue on and someone probably Greater and more dangerous then them will appear and continue that work. So yeah.
@@thedivineswordpoet4401 Actually, the reason vigilantism is illegal IS for the safety of the people. Look at all the rape accusations which turn out to be utterly fabricated... Imagine if the fathers or brothers of every one of those false accusers, or some Deadpool/Punidher/Batman type went and killed the guy, only for the woman to go "Oh, tee hee, I was totally just joking. I didn't want my boyfriend to break up with me because I cheated on him... Whoopsie." Vigilantism is illegal because that individual isn't determined "Guilty" until the verdict is read out among a jury of their peers. Spider-Man hearing some tidbits isn't enough for that individual to face justice at his hands.
Mainstream writers don’t get it. “Female” isn’t a personality trait. “Tiktoker” isn’t a personality trait. Strong, proud, self centered, silly, forgetful those are personality traits. Why put so much focus on things we either can’t control or is so basic to modern people that it’s not even a thought in most peoples minds. He’s on social media. As is most people.
Ok I have some ideas Snowflake: they are loud, a bit self centered, but care deeply about other people and think it’s best to reclaim things before they come back to hurt us Safe space: he’s big, he’s strong, but he is a gentle gaint and thinks aggression is the worst course of action B negative: one of those classic “Tsundere” acts super negative and like nothing could get worse so she can save herself from feeling hurt in the future
This is just a high-level introduction to the hero concepts. I'm sure they have personalities and we'll find out more about those in the comics themselves.
nonbinary, overweight, neglected, internet-addicted, these are NOT personality traits. If you're using these words to describe a character, you are being shallow and doing a disservice to those characters and everyone who happens to share those traits, because that is not something that should define them. There is so much more to a person than that.
Im just glad he doesn't have to see what those """"""writers""""" have done to the industry. Its a godamn shame "'"hero's"'' now a days are just "I hAvE tIk ToK aNd UsE tWiTtEr"

appeling to zoomer ideology is not a bad thing, but this is no the way. You can take some movies or books or even webtoons and realize that the last thing zoomers want is characters to be like them. They dont care about characters who have tiktok or instagram.

"She inherited from her grandfather a magic backpack... of divine origin." "Screentime is a internet kid... as a youth he was exposed to his grandfather's experimental internet gas, and that has patched him permanently into the world wide web." These are some of the stupidest premises for comics I've ever heard. How stupid are these people?
Seems on par with some of the powers I've seen in anime though LOL Seriously, some of the powers in My Hero Academia or One Piece could definitely rival these in ridiculousness ;D
Imagine introducing wolverine to an audience and the only thing you tell them is "he's straight, identifies as he /him" and expecting them to give you money to read that comic.
Maybe if you read the comic you'll see their growth and purpose explained further. Hulk was just a guy who turns big and green when mad and Peter parker is a college nerd who got bitten by a spider.

To me the ironic thing is that manga and Japan has been criticized as being non-pc. But manga has had some of the best trans characters I’ve ever seen. Blue period is a manga that has a great trans character, to the point it was incredibly refreshing to see.
@@Milark the reason it’s labeled as “non-pc” is because they aren’t blatantly saying “THIS CHARACTER IS GAY BECAUSE WE NEED MORE GAY CHARACTERS” Mangakas don’t write lgbt characters into their stories for representation, they do it for fun. They don’t virtue signal with their art form. And PC culture hates that.
They aren't even trying to write characters anymore, they are just ticking a bunch of boxes. It's like pandering comes first, storytelling comes second.
How ironic that their pandering to the younger generations is what makes it so inaccessible and cringe to said generations; there’s so much more to an age group’s culture than the social media they use. It’d be like if they made a “MySpace” Man back in the early 2000’s it’s just so odd 😅

His grandfather's "internet gas" is all the stuff he posted on twitter, as well as his youtube comments on various videos. In other words, gas as in "passing gas." -just how I look at it.
Star Trek always mentions tech we do not have and can not create now but it is all feasible theoretically. "Internet Gas", not so much. There have never been any emissions of any kind of fumes from the internet, ever.

I just can't process the fact that several people designed that character, the name, the idea, etc and all collectively agreed that "yes, this is a good idea" 😭😭
@@crushersbutlessedgynow Because calling someone snowflake is meant to be an insult. It means you're sensitive and weak, and people who say that often direct it at LGBTQ+ people, so the fact that they named one of their first non-binary characters that was a horrible idea.
Haven't read the comics of them, but it sounds like they won't get dated because they get slaughtered by the first super badguy. Can you see them beating Doom? The JOKER? King pin perhaps? And those are not the strongest badguys around. Dead "heroes" are buried, not dated.
To be exact I don't think he was denying that they would be outdated. He said they didn't care that they would be outdated, they are writing for now. Kind of tells you a lot about how twisted their priorities are because most writers like to avoid that not celebrate it. The goal is to have something that many people can get into, not just today but down the road. You don't want your story becoming irrelevant and neglected.
@@beatriznascimento2116 well they do. It's just a small percentage of the fans to comics though. When you stop making your old content because of it, that's when it's an issue. There are a lot more straight males that read comics than any other. And to forget about their major audience is a bad business strategy and unkind to their readers.

"One has a tic tok" "One has a fitness Instagram" "One's a subreddit mod" None of these are positive descriptions of character. The worst offending being a subreddit mod, they are not heros.

Using “modern” slang as names dates them immediately.
That was my take. This is all going to be dated as hell in 5 years. This is just pushing buttons that might speak to certain young people who may or may not care about comic books. It’s a desperate, scattershot attempt to generate revenue for the here and now with no regard to establishing something long-term.
Snowflake could have easily been a reference to her power, but no it has to be a stupid internet term.
This is literally in the video, they don't care if it will get dated. Also, everything is dated and most of comics are dependent of their context, althought people fail to understand it.

@@justagirl6761 They should make the villain of this comic the actual main character and he antagonizes and kills the heroes one by one. I would actually watch that.
@@ZackAleksandrowicz thats the thing, theyre not even fucking relatable.
ironically, there's one word to answer all of your question for these whackos : insecurity
what do they want? to empower themselves with their insecurities(their powers are basically using their complex like how the safespace is basically shielding others from others)
why do they want it? to overcome their insecurities(like one isn't obvious enough by having safespace as their superhero name, to show that even someone can overcome their tendency of running away by turning it into superpower)
what do they fear? insecurities taking over them due to modern labels(mostly not getting any sort of acceptance from public)
what are their self inflicted obstacles? also their insecurities(the way they thought people see them to the point those things became their powers)
why do they want to be heroes? to fight insecurities that plagued modern labels(non binary, terminally online, etc)
who are they really? the embodiment of their insecurities(snowflake, safespace, etc)
tho most of these are only describing snowflake, safespace, and screentime, but you get the point

What makes me also angry is that usually when they try the "fresh blood" they don't actually think of the agegroup they are representing.
When I was going to highschool, we had an exam (english is not my first language so I dunno what is the correct term for that exam) where they had written slangs and we needed to match them with their correct meaning...
My agegroup failed that part of the exam, because those slangs were not used by our agegroup.
What I am trying to say is, theese people think that the new generation is stupid, or simply black and white when it comes to thinking and things they like or relate to, they insert politics, feminism and whatnot into the comics what were supposed to give people freedom from theese very problems.

Honestly, I now understand why some people say “Just don’t shove it in my face”. This isn’t representation, I’d more so like if none of the characters were LGBTQIA+ than this. Is this honestly what comic book writers and older generations think we like? They are so obsessed with being relatable that they forget to actually make them feel human instead of a sad excuse for a trendy character.
Fr,like this is my main issue with usual comics these days,we don't need LGBTQ characters or any of that,what most matters is a good story,you can add pieces and everything but making a well flexed story and interesting characters that feel relatable instead of a annoying political agenda,but you know that's just my thoughts,but ye good comment👍💯
@@samtheoverthinker ok but that isn't fair. You may not need lgbt representation becuse you aren't lgbt but not everything is meant to appeal to you. There are real lgbt kids that would love to finally see someone that is like them. A big part of comic book heroes or characters in media in general is they're most of the time supposed to be relateble. I still remember the first time i saw a piece of media that had male same-sex relationship that weren't either one-sided tokens for diversity or the butt of the joke from their straight peers...i was 16 when i experienced that. While i've never had problems consuming media made by and for straight audiences, it does bring that extra oomf when the characters in question are relateble with a big part of your psychology and identity. Lgbt youth deserve that in the form of lgbt characters. Heterosexual and cisgender characters are everywhere, so i understand why alot of people don't understand the need for lgbt representation but cishet people would feel the same as lgbt people if almost every single character was lgbt. Im not saying the writers of these stories are doing good by making the stories like in this video, far from it. Lgbt people also do not want half-baked tokenisms of characters. We are not 2 dimensional beings with a sparkly label. What the writers are doing wrong is they're making them caricatures rather than characters. If you're going to do this, you might aswell not try to write queer characters. And if you still want to include lgbt people regardless, do not try to write lgbt unique experience like coming out and facing homophobia/transphobia if you do not know how to. Just make it so that they're viewed exactly the same as straight people but with an opposite sex partner and viola, easy gay character. Leave the more emotional and granted more realistic parts of growing up/being lgbt to people that know how to do it. Im not saying make every character gay ofcourse. But for the lgbt being about 10% of the population, there's a serious lack of us in alot of media let alone ones that are well written and not just a token side character. It doesn't help that content created by lgbt people revolving around lgbt characters are pushed against in alot of companies and media and outright censored in alot of countries.

The whole idea of zoomers accepting mutants undermines the entire point of the X-Men comics in the first place.
THANK YOU
The whole point of the X-men was to represent other groups through the story. EVERYBODY can relate to them. So in order for mutants to exist with the narrative they need to be hated and endure to show that throughout the trials and tribulation, the X-Men are a representation of human bigotry. So Zoomers liking them makes no sense. This would mean they themselves are self aware in there own universe. They just missed the point of the X-Men all together and replacing it with an agenda that isn't suited for the story to begin with.
Manga and Manwha > comics. I beg you comic readers to please try some anime and manga because I can guarantee you guys would like it. I love dc and marvel but the story telling in manga don't compare to new comics.
EXACTLY! Make new shit stop tearing down old stuff.
Proper Anime I absolutely agree, not that I want to disrespect people taste. But I just can't get into Comic book, there is sooooooo many literation and alteration, so many retcon, Rebirth, Reboot, convoluted canoncy, alternate universe, parallel, also not being a western also contributed to not being able to buy or read comic since childhood, the only thing we could get from DC or Marvel is the animated and movie. Instead here in Asia import manga are flowing from Japan, the story was also made by only one writer, there is no weird inconsistency, nor a random people ruining the legacy.
My biggest problem isn’t that they are trying to write characters of different races, sexualities, or genders, it is that it’s the only personality of them. I have huge respect for Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse for taking Miles Morales, a character which I didn’t care for in the comics, and making him super endearing and full of personality. Miles is from the Bronx and is African American / Latino, if this was a modern DC comic that would be his whole personality, but although he is shaped by his background he is also so much more, he’s self conscious and creative, a real character moving and growing, not a mouth piece. I could not tell you a single other word about Snowflake’s personality other that “they are non-binary”.
@@Eosinophyllis I hate to say this and put you down but *what the hell was that webtoon description.* it feels like you're trying TOO hard for a personality to the point that they'll have everything at once and have no way to grow or change and will just end up as "personality confused pansexual jealous that best friend loves their boyfriend and not them. Oh and also an evil swan" when it drops. Now maybe if they started negative showed that caring side but was spiteful around that boyfriend although ultimately doing something stoic for her best friend and maybe the boyfriend despite her emotional judgement that could pose growth over episodes of understanding and acceptance while now keeping the spite of the love subtle instead of "guard dog best friend everyone finds annoying except friends" levels... As for that swan idk what all that is about. Maybe it could go along the plot or save it for another toon but it does seem like it's splitting the attention of the story 50/50 not in a good way but a out of place sore thumb way like i mentioned before

To be fair, Claremont, possibly the greatest X Men writer ever, made the good point that the original X Men team being an all white team that was supposed to represent diversity, was a bit of a problem, and that affected a lot of his writing decisions.

When someone thinks what they said is smart:
“I’m not starfire” a new joke has added
And they wonder why manga sells more than comics. Comics now is basically a woke agenda that they are pushing to the people who dont even read comics. Like you will see people defend I'm not starfire haven't actually read comics and I can bet that they will never buy that comic.
Well, for once, I’m not Starfire is not a comic. It’s a graphic novel, non canon and no related to any major storyline in the Dc universe.
Also, I don’t like the plot and find it extremely boring and uninteresting; but it is not Canon so, I can’t get angry for that. It’s a novel for teenagers, geez. Let it be.
Liam R3d I don’t care it is a graphic novel or not as long as a good story is written that what does matter. See how DC turned off the comments on twitter and RUclips and it is just a graphic novel for teenagers. Can DC just think little bit before deciding to publish it.
Roshaan Hasanat it is a graphic novel. But still good point what you said
@@talxxn the thing is that for these teenagers I can bet u rn they would rather read manga cuz it's free and they dont have to pay and its easily accessible.

Very well-put.

No, you abandoned comics. There is plenty of quality if you'd look. The fact you think there isn't means you never looked.
Truth!!!!
Writer: “New law makes it illegal to be a vigilante under the age of 21.”
Me: Since when was being a vigilante legal?
"He doesn't have friends,he has followers"
that cringed me
That's incredibly depressive
look how they massacred my boy
That could actually be a really interesting element of characterization to explore. How having followers instead of friends impacts the character mentally and emotionally, how the need for likes and upvotes have corroded away the lines between the performative self and the real self leading to a sense of unfulfillment and desperate need to be accepted.
Maybe that could be the motivation to be a hero, only to realize it's ultimately the same thing, a performance and mask to gain approval of people they don't have any meaningful connection to. Over the course of the story they make real connections and the motivation changes to a desire to protect their new found family. It could be a whole growth arc.
But I doubt any of that will be in it.
Cool, so he's an asshole
These new comics have a very "how do you do, fellow kids" energy.

@@aduck1359 Its not written by 50 year old white dudes though, did you see all the interviews at the beginning of the video? Those are all Millennials and Zoomers in charge of the industry writing now.
The Internet gas killed me LMAO.
@@neoasura not zoomers, zoomers aren't old enough to be given any creative control over comic books, these are millennial hipsters who want to be trendy and appeal to kids but without any idea firstly of what teenagers actually want out of a story and secondly of how to bridge the generation gap between older readers and younger ones despite it definitely being possible. They finished high school either before smart phones or just as smart phones were becoming a common thing so they don't understand how they and social media have affected the way kids grow up and form identities these days, and its extremely obvious. They see how connected young people are to the internet and they see nothing else, and this confuses them because its something they are not able to truly grasp as effortlessly as zoomers do. I wish these people would stop trying to be trendy and hip with the kids and just write stories they actually want to read because it doesn't matter how old you are I guarantee your story will be way more engaging to people of all ages if you yourself actually enjoy it.
@@neoasura no shiz, the entire point though is older people tend to push this on young writers and young creators. I think someone who is young realizes that social media isnt a "hip young person thing." It is something in the background. Not their personality. Like a comic character in the 2000s watching tv or playing video games in the background of a comic scene. Not the ENTIRE PLOT. So dumb, theyre using social media like a shtick
"It's illegal to be a Vigilante under the age of 21"
There's an age condition for it to be legal?
Like *yeah man you can take the test for the license next week but you can't drink*

They obviously didn't watch Kick Ass
Isn't the point of a vigilante that it's illegal to be one?
They watched MHA, which is pretty bad on its own. Guarantee it.
"A hero in my mind takes the moral high ground, and can be tempted back down - because they're only human".
Beautifully phrased, lord.
Superman's alter-ego; Clark Kent, is how he sees us. Human - it means we're feeble, but strong.
"One of them is the Moderator to a Mutant Subreddit"
Remember, if you ever feel down and bad, someone made this character thinking it was going to be great.
And the worst thing is, it could actually be a good premise with a little more thought put into it. Mutant Subreddit = Place where the "weird kids" go to feel less alone. Moderator of said Subreddit = "I really care about this place and want it to be a safe place for other kids like me". The thing is that for a good story this needs to be shown, not told. The latest writers seem to leave all the stories for the readers' interpretation - probably to truly "maximize the inclusivity".

Yeah, vigilantism "is the act of enacting perceived justice summarily and without legal authority." (Wikipedia)
@@duckseverywhere7087 Yeah if it's sanctioned by the government and publicly supported it's just heroism.
If it's government supported and against public support it's authoratarianism.
If it's not government supported and has public support it's vigilantism/anarchism.
If it's not government supported and doesnt have public support it's villainy.
@@duckseverywhere7087 yeaah That is Wiki's words and the fool who wrote it is probably a Senator or some Assholes in a high Position somewhere...someone deeply rooted in the Law world i know for Fact.
Aint no precieved.
Basically do not operate against Crime without Government Approval/support and Authority. If you do then you are illegally fighting Crime.
Ive always hated How Vigilantism was Looked down upon by the Government.
And they always spit that "well its for the safety of the people...its what Law enforcement are for" Crap.
Ah...No! it is because you want to establish and keep a Bar that people need to stay in our place and know our place in the world and that police will always be a dominant approved force and if anybody henders that force without Authority...They are criminals.
Also in Raw Honest Secret Truth...that they will never ever tell you by mouth, but they will throw the truth in Movies and books. So it will be up to you to look past the Hollywood magic to see the Message of Truth.
But what they will not tell you is...
Its most importantly so that somebody or Somebodies do not rise and move the people in Solid Unity against the government order...because that type of power DOES NOT DIE OFF once it is awakened. That type of torch does not go out. It just gets picked up by another sooner or later.
Even if the person or persons have been caught and put behind bars for life or lets say...killed by the state then that will only leave for their philosophy to continue on and someone probably Greater and more dangerous then them will appear and continue that work.
So yeah.
@@thedivineswordpoet4401
Actually, the reason vigilantism is illegal IS for the safety of the people. Look at all the rape accusations which turn out to be utterly fabricated... Imagine if the fathers or brothers of every one of those false accusers, or some Deadpool/Punidher/Batman type went and killed the guy, only for the woman to go "Oh, tee hee, I was totally just joking. I didn't want my boyfriend to break up with me because I cheated on him... Whoopsie."
Vigilantism is illegal because that individual isn't determined "Guilty" until the verdict is read out among a jury of their peers. Spider-Man hearing some tidbits isn't enough for that individual to face justice at his hands.
Mainstream writers don’t get it. “Female” isn’t a personality trait. “Tiktoker” isn’t a personality trait. Strong, proud, self centered, silly, forgetful those are personality traits. Why put so much focus on things we either can’t control or is so basic to modern people that it’s not even a thought in most peoples minds. He’s on social media. As is most people.
Ok I have some ideas
Snowflake: they are loud, a bit self centered, but care deeply about other people and think it’s best to reclaim things before they come back to hurt us
Safe space: he’s big, he’s strong, but he is a gentle gaint and thinks aggression is the worst course of action
