How is it that I remember all the lyrics to every single song from High School Musical series but don't remember what I ate for lunch!

people are really acting like the progressiveness in comics is what is bringing the sales down i cant- have yall considered that maybe possibly perhaps that big western comic corporations are A: making it shit hard to actually buy comics especially for countries that are not the states so pirating is just easier and cheaper and B: have way too much alternate universes and intervowen plotlines with completely different characters and stories making it hard to follow and thus making it hard for beginners to get into and C: have shitty adaptations (which get people in to comics) that suck and/or dont follow the source material and are just quickly cranked out media for the masses or also suffer from point B.

there is a reason anime and manga having been doing so well lately. its easier to follow and get into. if i see a manga i might like i pick up #1 and continue from there. if i watch/read my hero academia i know the characters will be from my hero. there wont be a random character from another manga/anime that i am expected to know. if i read a detective manga i know its going to be a detective manga and not a manga about someone who happens to have the nickname of greatest detective being a vigilante dressed as a bat.

if i see a comic i might like i have to figure out what is happening first. i wont fully understand Batman: Hush without knowing about jasons death or all the characters relationships. if i want to pick up a series i need to figure out where to start and what comics to read before that so i understand what is going on. if i like 1 specific character (especially smaller ones) im going to have to read whole series where they appear in 10 of 40 volumes just to get some content. its exhausting, annoying and confusing. its hassle and since most western comics are mediocre its also just not worth it.

anyway in short my theory on why comics are dying and manga/anime are thriving is because comics are all in complicated extended and connected universes while manga and anime are stand-alone universes containing one (1) story. (ofc there are manga that have crossovers and extended universes but there is a reason these arent very popular or au's/"blacklabels"/not canon) this also has to do with how western comics are mainly handled by big corporations rather than independant writers/artist working under a publisher

Is something happening???

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.
