Probably the worst page in comic history

It looks like an editing mistake from a cheap Kung fu movie from the 70s
Logan Russell
nah, where's that one from a more recent comic where the main girl just exposits shit about herself no one cares about for like a full page?
Josiah Perez
Can someone explain to me why since about 2016, movie effects have gotten so lazy and cheap looking? The first time I really noticed it were the awful effects in 2016 Ghostbusters, Deadpool, and Dr. Strange

Cameron Brown
Aiden Nelson
It's funny because both those characters are the exact same level of dumb Mary Sue no one asked for
Liam Rodriguez
I just don't understand how America Sanchez is a thing. She has no stories people love, her origin is a mess, her team dynamic is all over the place, her powers are generic, her costume is baby's first superhero... why the fuck is this character still around instead of being pushed into obscurity like a Youngblood extra?
Samuel Gutierrez
>She has no stories people love
She has Young Avengers I guess. But that story was barely even about her.
Alexander Cruz
except one is an insufferable sociopathic author-insert that won't go away and the other was cute, likable, actually heroic, and didn't overstay her welcome

politics. Needed to check that diversity quota.
US comics are basically a giant scam where 5,000 twitter checkmarks eat up shit nobody else cares about. They artificially create a few thousand more sales by dumping the comics on stores that don't want them. The only reason the model works is because Disney/AT&T don't let them just die
It's literally a phantom industry, a market with no relevant consumer base. Really fascinating to watch what has happened to US comics since about 2014
Samuel Robinson
well before the Any Forums autists come in, I mean Marvel/DC comics. The non-superhero children ones by scholastic and shit seem to sell well.
Carson Harris
>politics. Needed to check that diversity quota.
Yeah, but, like... there are BETTER Hispanic Girl characters! Fuck man, White Tiger at least has a quick and easy origin to understand. Arana is great. America Chavez is just a trainwreck.
Ayden Edwards
>movie effects have gotten so lazy and cheap looking?
Because the philosophy of these filmmakers and studios is 'on time and under budget' not necessarily 'good looking.'
Luis Carter
>#1 hero in the US
>dumb Mary Sue
come on now you know that's basically a requirement

As opposed to how it used to be, when it was shit like variant covers for speculators and fanboy whales?
Noah Long
If I follow wiki correctly, her origin is that she's from a Utopia dimension where there was a godlike being that just gave people superpowers due to proximity, and her parents died saving their world from uninteresting shit so now she wants to be a hero too.
Is that it? Am I missing anything?
Nolan Taylor
Yeah that's not her origin anymore. She's a lab grown superpowered child out of dozens
Ryan Morales
...That's actually a slight improvement, which is fucking amazing because "lab grown superhero" is a pretty shitty origin.
Asher Allen
Why couldn't they put her in some tight ass daisy dukes?
