With how popular capeshit movies are, how come no one wants to read comics still?

Because Comics are woke trash now.

Because comics are utterly baffling.
Tell me, how the fuck am I supposed to read the X-Men books when the stories just start and stop whenever they feel like it (like how X-23 got locked in that place and then everyone just goes on without discussing what happened to her). And then we have SWORD OF X, a book that's 22 issues across 8 or so books! So I have to have been reading every single fucking one of the X-Men books?!
Like, don't be a fucking retard. Comics are so fucking convoluted and they don't even try to make thing coherent. Even trades would omit important issues because they were "Spider-Man issue 41.LZ". Fucking Spider-Verse got a $50 trade that tells all the Spider-Verse main issues upfront, and then all the supplementary stuff afterwards, meaning you'll get a jumpy story and then you get your explanations of what happened after the story concluded!
Marvel and DC are fucking shit storytellers. Don't even get me started how I don't know what the flying fuck is going on with that "Batman who Laughs" story where characters seem to exist in some weird G-Mod level!

How did you watcg the MCU without reading all the comics? You know that through the multivere the comics are canon to the movies. You may have missed out on something.
Jackson Campbell
You're saying that when the MCU casually forgets its own lore constantly. Bet you that future directors are going to forget about the snap and the five year gap.
Like, did anyone in Kamala Khan's family or friend circle get snapped? or did they ALL get snapped so that the status quo remains the same?
Camden Gutierrez
Actually, tens of thousands of people still buy and read new comics every wednesday, not to mention the people who buy trades, read digitally, or buy back issue/second hand markets. Do you base your question on a ridiculously exaggerated false assumption because you’re an inbred fucking moron?
Charles Gutierrez
Only women and soiboys like these movies. And there is a thread in the catalog right this moment that proves women don’t care about comics.
Hunter Flores
>Like movie Tony
>He's a horrible antagonistic asshole in the comics
>Like movie Thor
>He's constantly being used as a punching bag in Aaron's avengers
>Like movie Hulk
>He's essentially been taken over by an unrelated body horror monster
>Like movie X-men
>They are all polygamists running and ethno-state now
The comics simply aren't the same thing as the movies, and it's not just a medium thing.
John Phillips
Too many comics for each capeshit character. Too confused where to start.
Bentley Morgan
Because they like movies, not comics.
Yeah I feel ya, since I'm a newbie to comics. Reading through one character's line of books, now a multi-comic event appears, gotta follow that story into another character's comic, which might lead to another character. Thank god for tachiyomi though.
Brody Richardson
Because the quality of DC/Marvel's capeshit are of extremely questionable quality. If it were any other publisher would some common sense, most of the trash that they published would had never been published.
Benjamin James
Comics are a shitty product that only appeals to a small community of weirdos. Unless you just don't consume any other type of media, you should be able to look at it after a certain point early on and think, why am I reading this again? They're usually poorly written soaps and people just like looking at the art of it's good.
Jaxson Collins
Why are you even on Zig Forums
Blake Sullivan
Toonami
Landon Reyes
Because Marvel's shit
Ryan Wilson
Oh sweet irony
Christian Rodriguez
Because it's a niche medium that struggled to compete with the invention of television let alone home videogames quick access to funny videos or pornhub.
Joseph Collins
>like movie hulk
Why? They literally don't know what to do with him to the point that he changes with every movie.
>"Banner learned self control in Avengers"
>"Banner has protected measures if he loses control in Avengers 2"
>"Banner has been gone for years and Hulk actually gets his own personality in Thor 3"
>"Hulk refuses to come out in Infinity War possibly in fear"
>"Hulk and Banner have resolved everything off screen and are now both no personality separation in Endgame"
Easton Hughes
Because the movies are actually fun. Something comicbooks have clearly forgotten.
Luis Allen
Most comics indulge in deconstruction which most people hate.
Hunter Richardson
> Like movie Ant-Man
> Barely appears in the comics
> Like movie Scarlet Witch
> Barely even appears in the comics, except to be shat on.
> Like movie Captain America
> They make him into a Nazi in the comics.
It's almost as if people don't want to read these characters being shat on or being sidelined.
Alexander Torres
I was okay with it till they decided it was cool to go from Hulk having his biggest episode yet, to him and Banner just patching things up off screen. Just gives the impression that the character isn't worth serious screen time.
Easton Sanders
One hundred times more people watch the movies than read the books. You don't get that ratio for all but the most obscure of other media when they're adapted.
Jacob White
There are a lot of reasons, but a lot of them boil down to one simple question:
>Where do I start?
Michael Murphy
This. How the fuck are you supposed to get into comics today? Especially then everything is so convoluted, writers don't work together and seem to have personal agendas
>inb4 just read everything XD
Carson Sanchez
Seriously. It took me about 15 years and a dozen separate attempts to get to the point where I think I have a basic understanding of capeshit lore.
Things I had an easier time doing than understanding comics:
>learning two instruments
>learning to create my own comics
>learning another language
>getting fit
>getting a gf
Wyatt Robinson
>One hundred times more people watch the movies than read the books
Wait, are you telling me that more people would rather just watch a screen with moving pictures on it than read words in a book? Get the fuck outta here.
> You don't get that ratio for all but the most obscure of other media when they're adapted.
Examples? Do you know how many unheard of novels are adapted into movies?
Jace Jenkins
>>Like movie Thor
>>He's constantly being used as a punching bag in Aaron's avengers
He's been like that in the movies since the meme Maori man took over
Gavin Hernandez
It's got nothing to do with quality or being woke or any of that shit. It's mostly due to being in specialist shops
Sebastian Rogers
>Examples? Do you know how many unheard of novels are adapted into movies?
Literally hundreds.
This is an argument from name recognition, not sales, but it was easily accessible. Here's a list of the academy award nominees for best adapted screen play. Do NOT take a shot every time you recognize a movie title but didn't know it was based on a book, because you'll die. And this is just the 5 movies a year that get nominated, and many aren't adapted from books.

A few years ago I wanted to read Spider-Man, so I downloaded a torrent with Amazing Spider-Man 001-700. At first it was great, then at a point there started to be cliff-hangers to went completely ignored in the next issue, with a "continues in Spectacular Spider-Man issue X" or wathever other series and that pretty much killed my entire motivation to continue
Josiah Baker
>They are all polygamists running and ethno-state now
That one sounds kinda based
