Just finished kingdome come, pax americana, and the Watchmen, what should I read next...

Not really critiques, but Supreme and Tom Strong are both staunchly anti-deconstruction

Neon Genesis Evangelion is better the Watchmen.

Why? because Evas whole premise can't be simply summed up by its Deconstructionist premise. Watchmen, as well as every shitty Derida monkey, approaches their fiction thinking that the superheroes being realistic is the crux of whats interesting. the characters in both are plays on protagonists in both genres but when Watchmen starts to get into the interesting meat of qhat makes their characters tick, it pulls away to give you another lecture. Eva delves head first into its cast and studies each of them in depth.

the underlying themes of watchmen are brpad and hamfisted and does the one thing artists should never do: tell you how to feel about a subject. from its portrayel of its politics, its morality to its own subject matter, theres no room for interpretation. Eva, for as insanely analyzed as it is, still doesnt have a grounded interpretation of its story.

I like Watchmen a lot, but it inevitably opened a floodgate of imitators who ended up hurting the industry. Eva did the same, sure, and theirs tripe like Madoka Magica and Nadesico, but it also allowed some good shit as well.

but the most important part though, is that I can watch Eva just for the sole enjoyment of a robot fighting Dali painting monsters. I cant sit down and enjoy Watchmen in the same vein.
>inb4 "WEEEEB!!"
not a weeb, theres a ton of holier then thou trash in anime but I cant look at funny books like the boys and Ellis superhero stuff and not say "yeah, I get it."

you're objectively wrong. Watchmen is far more complex than you give it credit for

Twelve posts before “you didn’t understand it”
That’s got to be a record.

I'll always recommend this.

>theres no room for interpretation
wat

They are both trash but Eva is better

Watchmen is great, and EVA is not as great as Watchmen. It's good that both are still endlessly debated, but it sucks ass that the prevailing opinions are the dumbest and gayest ones.

>Also is there any comics that critiques the deconstructionalist shit?
I don't know if it's exactly what you're asking for, but Flex Mentallo is pretty good.

All Star Superman is more an attempt to write a comic with golden/silver age setting but to give the writing more depth/emotion than a deconstruction I'd say.

>Why? because Evas whole premise can't be simply summed up by its Deconstructionist premise.
Neither can Watchmen. It uses Superheroes to make a larger poimt about reality itself. Its just more subtle than fucking Eva. I love it, but if you made it all the way you simply cant overlook a freudian interpretation. It barely makes sense as a coherent narrative you take it at face value.
This guy is absolutely correct. You obviously didnt look at it throughly. Its your own fault.

You are one of the biggest faggots of all time. Tell me what you like. I bet it's garbage.

>It barely makes sense as a coherent narrative you take it at face value
If you take it at face value it's "troubled teenagers fight in giant robots and learn the value of relationships".
Not exactly complicated

nah
overrall watchmen is better than the series
but the end of eva movie is better than the ending of watchmen though
still, the two don't feel comparable in the slightest to each other

That is all irrelevant to the quality of the art you fucking faggot.

Wrong. For most people, Rorschach is a much more interesting character than some xing xong 14 year old girl written by a japanese autist who barely talked to any girls his whole life.

Really? You cant enjoy a mistery comic book the same way you enjoy a mecha anime? Wow, too fucking bad nigga.

They do share a few parallels. They've got a playing field for character archetypes, children's stories reworked for teens, sources of inspiration ranging from sci-fi novels, philosophy texts, and previous entries in their respective medium, and other minor things like that.
EVA is probably as close as it gets in the world of anime/manga to the level of complexity and quality of Watchmen. Watchmen is still better.

yeah, but Anno just started to use the decontruction of anime in general through EVA because he just burn out all the animation budget money. Same with the Movie, the Shinji Battle with the Eva Series is missing because they run out of money again.

What's so Funny about Truth, Justice and the American, a nice one shot that critiqued all that deconstruction crap

Doomsday clock and infinite crisis as well
