Chapter 60: The State of Comics
The current Marvel, the small life is still very good, although there are no successful comic book movies, but comic books are much stronger than DC.
If it weren't for DC having a backstage, it is estimated that he would have been abused to death by Marvel a long time ago, Stan Lee's brain hole is obviously bigger, and the Avengers are more reasonable than the Justice League.
The most important thing is that the Marvel universe has begun to take shape, but DC is still engaged in parallel universes.
DC's cosmology is chaotic, the Avengers' IP can be expanded indefinitely, and the Justice League is very difficult.
There are also problems with the portrayal of villains, Marvel is too distinctive, whether it is Hydra or Magneto, all have complete story characteristics, and Thanos and Loki have complete personality characteristics.
On the other hand, DC, obviously the villain is weaker, and you, who belong to Ultraman's routine, will reimburse the big boss in a few clicks, so Superman and Batman must do it.
Justice League infighting?
It's not impossible, but where is the audience's cool point?
I really don't understand, Marvel obviously has traces of plagiarism from DC, although it is not very obvious, but no one can deny that after the appearance of the Justice League, Marvel only made the Avengers.
Acquisition of Marvel?
William White still can't afford it, Marvel is the industry leader, although it is not the golden age of comics, but it is obviously impossible to buy Marvel.
Comic movies are not as good as DC, comic books are beating DC, and it is also difficult to acquire DC, unless Warner Bros. wants to sell it, it is absolutely impossible to buy it.
William White's comics are not aimed at the United States, and since Frederick Weighand came up with the theory that comics are harmful, the comic market in the United States has begun to collapse.
This old guy is the public enemy of comic fans all over the world, almost all comics have been hacked, and I really can't figure it out, why do you stare at comics, what is stimulating.
In this turmoil, DC was hit the most hated, Wonder Woman was actually classified as a same-sex person, and Batman and Robin were passionate. All in all, if you look at it with tinted glasses, nothing is reasonable.
Batman and Robin don't seem to be anything! How can they be seen as men, it's a bit far-fetched, doesn't Wonder Woman have a boyfriend?
I have to say that the lethality of experts is still very great, and the turmoil in 54 years directly sent seventy percent of comic companies to hell.
Of course, in that era, the same sex was heresy, and these needed to be completely eradicated.
In the face of such accusations, the counterattack of the comic company is also weak, and what the parents' choice is, is simply self-evident.
The golden age of comic books is over, and it's really hard to evaluate whether this is good or bad, and without this turmoil, many comic book characters may not have appeared.
Of course, there are also disadvantages, many comic companies have been wiped out, and there are some good works among them, which have eventually disappeared into the long river of history.
Comics need to be rigorously reviewed, and although they are not as excessive as they were in the fifties, they still limit the development of comics. The more popular the comics, the stricter the review, and the creation of comics must not only satisfy readers, but also be lofty, and all those with improper views will not be sold.
The rights of the CCA in the United States are very large, and this is also the product of multi-party compromises, and in the era of comics, all kinds of trumped-up crimes are overwhelming.
If it weren't for an old guy like Stan Lee, the comics of the United States would be completely finished.
For comics, William White has a detailed plan and will definitely not be controlled by the CCA.
For a world where capital controls everything, he doesn't believe in the discipline of certain forces, if you hit the street, no one will pay attention to you, and if your comics become popular, all kinds of forces will pounce on you and bite them.
The current William White is not qualified to compete with others, and if he refuses to exchange benefits, the tragedy of DC Comics will not be long in the past.
Don't look at Lao Mei's anti-monopoly all day long, these are actually excuses.
Why doesn't anyone care about Microsoft's monopoly?
If you look at Bill Gates' shareholding ratio, as long as you are obedient, the company is not interested, and the interests must be handed over, otherwise it will be split.
No matter who you are, this is the rule in the United States, Qualcomm, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, is there a company controlled by the founder?
No, not a single one.
Not to mention the rice company, foreign companies are not good, Toshiba was almost fined for bankruptcy, and Alstom was directly split. Executives were arrested several.
The same is true for the enterprises of the Celestial Empire, if they are not obedient, they will be targeted, otherwise, do you really think that the hegemony of others is just talking?
William White's goal is, of course, to acquire Marvel and DC, but this goal is impossible to complete in the short term.
DC's valuation is very low, and William White has the ability to acquire it, but unfortunately there is a boss behind him, and there must be twists and turns in the film and television adaptation rights.
Don't think about Superman and Batman, this is someone's cash cow, especially Superman, this IP has basically been broken.
Hollywood's short-sightedness is like this, as long as this IP can make money, the film company will shoot upside down, as long as it doesn't hit the street for a day, they will keep playing.
If the Justice League does not have Superman and Batman, it is basically equivalent to Marvel without Iron Man and Team America.
It doesn't matter in the short term, and the Justice League can't be brought to the big screen in the short term, but it's a big problem in the long term, unless you plan to give up on the Justice League in the future.
Regarding Marvel, we must not wait for him to die before acquiring it, Spider-Man is gone, the Fantastic Four is gone, the X-Men are gone, and a good meal is torn apart by their own play.
What? You say Spider-Man is back!
Well, it's good news, but don't you think it's too abrupt? You have one more guy, one more guy at once, and then another guy, these foreshadowings are not impossible, the problem is that it is not appropriate for you to have no reasonable arrangements.
The Avengers are almost the same as the four, and the last one is really speechless, and there is no reasonable explanation for the origin of many guys, if you are not familiar with the comics, you may not be able to figure out who is who.
Some people say that Marvel and DC can be merged, but William White thinks it's inappropriate, many of the comic book characters of the two companies are highly overlapping, and you can occasionally add an easter egg. You must not get a piece of it.
DC's cosmology is garbage, far less clear than the Marvel universe, and if there is an opportunity to acquire these two companies, William White will definitely plan a complete comic universe.
It's too early to think about this, Marvel hasn't started its own journey to death, and I really don't understand, this company was sold for less than 100 million dollars.
The company of thousands of comic book characters, how can it be like selling rags, and the guy who took over is also a bastard, a good Marvel, and he was torn apart. If you want to say that this product is an undercover agent of DC, I am not surprised, and it is really a model of death without limits.
