AvX Powers Marvel To Number One Spot In April

[Donald M.]

So, it's not the subject of the arguing you take issue with, but the concept of arguing in general.

If that's the case, I find your argument lacking and choose to continue arguing my point.

He told you in no uncertain terms in the very post you quoted that it was the subject. Is something wrong with your eyes?

Actually my agrurment has not been "beasted" secondly top ten is the most important stat in this debate

According to whom? I'd say, as Kick-Ass (Who is not actually my long lost son, just so we're clear) says, that overall sales is more important. Top ten is an arbitrary cutoff that doesn't really hold any more weight than top 25, top 50 or even top 12 for that matter. Marvel sold more comic books and made more money, those aren't arbitrary cut offs based around a randomly chosen number.

Look Cavenmold. DC has lost to Marvel. That's how it is. Why can't DC fans ever accept this instead of crying about it?

You know it's not a boxing match, right?

You know no one "loses" to anyone else?

One company might perform better than the other for a quarter, but ultimately, who gives a shit?

What's wrong with Iron Fist being in the Avengers?

He is a fun addition, and his issue of SECRET AVENGERS was kind of a masterpiece...

I think that was Shang-Chi in SA. Great ish, though, and I've got no problem with Iron Fist being on whatever Avengers team he's on.

Because it's stupid?

Well, that certainly was a well reasoned and clever retort.

No, it's forum dedicated to COMIC BOOKS, which is an art form that encompasses a whole lot more than people in costumes.

Given, but as the subject debated in this thread clearly exhibits: the vast majority of that and the discussion of it is based around dudes in spandex punching each other.

There have been plenty of incredibly thoughtful conversations on this forum. And if you can't see that, it's on you. The hilarious examples you mention exist, but there's plenty of other stuff on these forums, and there has been for the decade plus I have sporadically posted. If you want to show up ten years late to the party and then insult everyone because you see a couple of dumb threads, again, that's on you.

Likewise, there have been plenty of intelligent and thoughtful conversations pertaining to monthly sales. Just because you personally don't care for the subject matter doesn't make it irrelevant compared to the majority of what shows up here.

And your longevity doesn't make the forum some great bastion of intellectual discourse. As an FYI, I'm not exactly new here, I've been registered on this forum since (As is clearly indicated by looking two inches to the left) since 2008.

The fact remains that the vast majority of content on this website is probably viewed by the world at large (Including most legitimate intellectuals) as a colossal waste of time. The sooner you accept this, the sooner you'll be able to remove that apparently gigantic chip from your shoulder.

But more to the point, again, arguing about sales is stupid. And embarrassing. Have some dignity.

Well, you're wrong. Sorry.

Dude, are you thirteen or just socially inept? You're seriously going to close out this half-assed excuse for a response with "nuh uh, you're wrong?"

Stock holders? ???!!!

Look, you can go talk in threads about how you think Batman is the best read it's ever been right now thanks to the authors. You can talk about how Action Comics is a bold new direction, and how JLA has great art, etc. etc.

You can talk about how DC has the best reads in your opinion.

But to say that DC is now the #1 company. No. That would be an absolute lie. They are not the #1 company in the comics biz. And at this point, with the New 52 having failed that mission, it's likely they will never again be the #1 company.

[Michael P]

Hah, I'm thinking the opposite. After seeing the Avengers, which was the team from 30 years ago,

Really? I don't recall seeing Wasp or Moondragon in the movie.

The faceless multi-national corporation that I inexplicably support is better than the nearly identical faceless multi-national corporation for reasons I can't define.


Yep...there's a hell of a lot to argue about there.

I got it mixed up with the DEFENDERS....

Do you work for marvel?

Yes, because you are, in fact, empirically and provably, wrong.

[0bsessions]

Your responses in this thread are smug, sarcastic, self-important, and caustic. Is that really how you want to go through life? Beating your chest angrily over things so stupid?

It's not worth it. Trust me.

And yours are (likewise) smug, self-important (The nerve of someone who can come in here to tell people that they're wasting they're time and arguing stupidity is the very epitome of self-importance) and incredibly hostile. You may consider taking your own advice.

He told you in no uncertain terms in the very post you quoted that it was the subject. Is something wrong with your eyes?

Why yes, in fact, I was recently diagnosed with stigmatism, thank you for noticing.

More to the point, however, I was more or less simply condescending. I got his point fine, his point just happened to be idiotic. Why? One simple reason: you know what's more idiotic about arguing about comic book sales figures? Arguing about the merits of arguing about comic book sales figures (Of which I'm clearly guilty as well, but with the caveat that I've managed to accept that I'm wasting my time).
