I can't even get through a Cummings vid tbh. Zack's just got this fatherly charm that makes it easier to listen to him ramble about comic books that the other guys just lack.

EVS is sorta that way too, especially in his drawing videos.

Just Some Guy & That Umbrella Guy talk more about politics but they're easier to listen to than the other smaller channels. I basically treat their channels like its talk radio and listen to them in the background.
 
I caught a bit of that livestream last night and of course Ethan, being pretty averse to drama, asked Doug Ernst to talk to Cummings because “We gotta fix that”. It’s a really nice gesture on his part that Cummings really ought to be open to since all of the comments on Cummings’ last vid are people calling him an asshole and unsubbing. The whole situation speaks volumes about both of them.

And yeah, Cummings’ vids are just the worst. I can’t stand listening to him ramble on his own. He’s not awful in the live chats but obviously he doesn’t play well with others lately.

I saw Cummings sperging coming from a mile away. Recently he’s been commenting passive aggressive stuff on Yellow Flash and YaBoiZack’s videos about how “I covered this already” and other things to that effect.

Here’s one on Zack’s Doctor Strange vid last week:
View attachment 487103

Both of them are pulling way bigger numbers than Cummings who is barely scratching 1,000 views per video.

It says a lot when a dozey guy like Yellow Flash has a more enticing personality than you.

If he really tried to mix it up with Zach he'd only get a bemused, bewildered shrug in response. At least EVS is sort of giving him the drama and attention he craves.

And I agree, this is nothing more than "what are these new kids doing here?! GET!! This is my turf!"
 

EDIT:
TLDW for lazy fucks
Donal Delay (Image artist currently working on The Death Of Love) decided to check if rumors of an evil racist/sexist/alt-right nazi are true, finds out he's just some sperg and not what most people accuse him off. Decides not to condemn him and that's seen as an endorsement somehow. Usual SJW tards gear up for the usual tactics of threatening him into calling D&C a Nazi or else, Donal has a backbone and doesn't cave. (Kinda) Gets into a slapfight with Tamra BonVillain, Joe Glass, Tim Doyle and other cronies. Most end up threatening him and Justin Jordan (his partner on the Image book) severs ties with him over the ordeal of him not calling someone a Nazi. Also Retweeting is now targeted harassment.

That guy is wrong about Zack not being a racist. I know for a fact that he worked alongside Ronald Reagan to create the AIDS virus. They wanted kill the Eskimos to get delicious seal meat all to themselves but it accidentally dropped in Africa which was "close enough".

And I have conclusive evidence that EVS is actually Hitler. He faked his own death and time travelled to the present. He’s currently working on getting enough IndieGoGo money to build a Death Star and take over the galaxy.

I'm the same way lately. And to think I found him and even subscribed to his channel before I found any of the other comicsgate spergs.

FWIW, he says he has a complete run of Avengers. Would love to see him go through that some time. This other shit he's doing lately, though, not into that at all.

Remember that time when B Clay Moore “joked” about goading D&C into punching him?

How’s that kickstarter going btw?

There needs to be more people like Donal DeLay, EVS, and others like them. It gets tiring to see these so called comic pros trying to strong arm people out of the business because they are not on the "right side of history" (Like a community, my ass). Tim Doyle, B. Clay Moore, and any other jackoff like them are cry bullies to the highest degree.

I found this tweet by the creator of the comic, RAGS. Something the comic pros don't do.

The degree to which these hypocrites are blind is only really understood when you realize they think Peter Parker is a character nobody can relate to because yeah, he tries to juggle duty with personal life , but he's a straight white male, fuck him. That Tony Stark has problems with womanizing and the bottle, but those are white male problems, and he's rich, so fuck him. Bruce Banner endured childhood abuse and has a condition that means getting too stressed out means he may level half-a-city and everyone in it... but he's a white male in STEM where they're overrepresented anyway, so fuck him......

People liked these characters because they were already relatable to a LOT of people, despite it being literally IMPOSSIBLE for any of them to exist in the real world.... because exposure to radiation gives you cancer, not superpowers, and no matter how rich you were, and how many gizmos your cool power armor had, if you tried to be a hero in real life, it would be a matter of WHEN not IF that your enemies would find a way to get a loaded gun within ten feet of you the instant you stepped out of it to take a leak.... among other things.

"muh relatable!" is the WORST aspect to SJW writing, because it's irrelevant, but they treat it like DOGMA. They aren't even IN it for the fans, they're in it for their own egoes.

I've said it before and I"ll say it again, SJWs do not love the media forms they try and take over, they only love the notion of being it's GATEKEEPERS and kicking everyone they disapprove of OUT.

I agree. I think one reason the looney left creates so much tedious shitty media in all formats is that they don't view their products as the final goal. Creating the products is just an obstacle, the goal is boosting their egos. Maybe some of them don't even understand what makes a work not tedious, because they're so self absorbed that everything is a bit uninteresting.
 
An Interview with Mark Waid, on some podcast I'd never heard of...

Mark Waid Hates Bullies

As far as I can tell, that title is not supposed to be ironic, either. The audio played fine on my laptop, no clue how well/poorly it will work on other devices. Got bored before the mention of Zach/Jawbreakers/Antarctic Press, but I'll probably listen to the whole thing at some point. If there's a transcript I'm not seeing it, sadly.

I like how Waid spends the entirety of the podcast I could get through (not much) trying not to get sued into the ground by Diversity & Comics.

Zach adressed the lies in a recent video. Waids fabrications about the Antarctic Press debacle starts around the hour mark apparently.

I made some time stamps in the Mark Waid thread, might as well X-Post them here:

Waid did another interview, this time with Word Balloon (idk some podcast) and he talks about Comicsgate and the individual known as Richard C Meyer:
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/wordballoon/2018/07/04/mark-waid-hates-bullies#.WzxTm6634fQ.twitter (https://archive.fo/A4jxE)

48:47 Culture Wars (Comicsgate) - He admits that even after the old heroes came back people still complained, almost like the quality of the comic is what was important.
56:30 Jawbreakers and RCM
1:08:32 Antarctic Press - "No one is trying, no one want to stop people from publishing comics..." Proceeds to say how the comicbook world was "on fire" that Antarctic was publishing it and people were "coming at them with pitchforks and torches".
1:12:00 The Call & Retailer Lies - If I was Mark's lawyer, I would be looking for a new client right about now.
1:19:22 "My Favorite flavor of fan is Legal Expert" - Weird how a lot of lawyers suddenly were flooding Zack's email after the AP call, definitely weird.
1:20:22 CG, a small but loud voice - Why are comic sales down? If they're such a minority and obviously hate comics why have the helped fund 4 comics into almost a million dollars?
1:21:25 Working Behind the Scenes - Waid admits there are people working behind the scenes to shut down any dissenting opinions. (HMMMM? CBR Forums?)
1:24:25 Dark Roast - Literally admits to Gatekeeping and Blacklisting

wow, Waid managed to use every single one of these:

Ditko was a Randroid. His Marvel work didn't include much political sperging but it was clearly on his mind when he made the Question and especially Mr. A. On the other hand at least "crazy conspiracy obsessed anti-heroes in world where conspiracies are common" can be timeless and logically consistent with the world.

It's not like doing "REEE Trump" in Marvel nowadays which doesn't work with age of superheroes always having started "about 10 years ago" and so all the "Let's kill the mutants!" and questionable stuff (currently) being Obama's administration. The writers are clearly writing from an IRL point of view instead of the tales of fictional vigilantes. Maybe a few years from now when the timeline slides to superheroes starting in the Trump years but that's still going to be a dated reference that isn't going to work as time marches on.

Not the best example since as of this post Spider-Man is a popular hero in the Marvel Universe but it's related to the old problem of artists having like Spider-Man balloons in parades like the real world might have...despite the in-universe stance on him being a fucking weirdo who crawls around in the shadows and webs people up. An editor should point out that a Punisher t-shirt has a completely different meaning in a world where Frank Castle is an on-the-loose mass murderer.

At the same time, if it wasn't for him and Stan the Man, we wouldn't have the well known characters today. This whole "hate white men" shtick has gone on for way too long (considering many of the people stating it are white and from middle to upper middle class backgrounds). It reeks of the traitorous critic fallacy.
