(Insert something about Bendy here)

I'm pretty sure the Unfunnies is that in reverse

I don't think Millar likes to talk about it, and for good reason

Countdown?

I guess making him lose it another time is sorta acknowledging how pointless it was to begin with

Millar actually admitted at a con that Trouble was the worst thing he'd ever written and that he wrote it as a favor to Marvel. (Rich thinks by Marvel, Millar meant Bill Jemas)

But yeah he kind of doesn't seem to want to acknowledge The Unfunnies as this time.

Oh what, I didn't even realize who wrote Trouble.

Kinda amazing that Millar managed to write 2 of Sup Forums's unholy trinity.

Doesn't Millar essentially pretend The Unfunnies doesn't exist, erasing any evidence of it from his bibliography and things like that?

Who can blame him? Who would want it on their resume?

For the longest time I thought Millar wrote Marville too?

What's the third? Because we can probably replace it with Millar's "Nemesis".

Someone might be making a 3 - in -1 combination for the Storytime of Pain weekend in five days. Unfunnies/Nemesis/Trouble side by side in a single image

Man, there were still plenty of lampshading on those episodes that implied that his new arm wasnt exactly a real arm.

At this point I have no idea on what was thought in advance and what was bulshitting. On this very season there were plenty of foreshadows to the Islands serie.

Mar-Ville

And no, you cannot
He didn't, it was Bill Jemas

...

Reminder that The Unfunnies literally caused Millar's wife to divorce him.

Really?

Holy shit, thats pretty crazy.

Though I guess I'd have to question my marriage if my spouse wrote something like that.

Its more than just bad, its just...word's don't really describe

Season 20 of South Park. Really, they actually admitted it.

Damn really? But yeah, what said.
I wouldn't let someone who think Unfunnies should ever been anyway expressed to another human being put his dick inside me either

The crow was sucking cock for a REASON

>Reminder that The Unfunnies literally caused Millar's wife to divorce him.
[citation needed]

I don't think he actually got divorced over it, his wife just really hated it.

I've never read the unfunnies
Tell me about it
Shouldn't we be having our annual storytimes of pain sometime soon?

Well it helps that they had written the entire story arc assuming Clinton would win the election, and had to scrap everything after that.

Ever take a jackhammer up the urethra?
It's somehow worse than that

We have it during Comicon generally.

And the Unfunnies really just needs to be seen to be believed.
The general concept is its supposed to be the world of a syndicated cartoon, but things start going terribly with murder, rape, etc.

And it goes from there.

MARK
MILLAR
MALARKEY

There's an infamous Millar quote where he discusses Unfunnies:

>My wife got about six pages into it when she was reading it in the bath the other night and she just threw it at me. She said it was the most horrible thing she'd ever read in her life and she didn't want to think this sort of shit even went on in my head. I tried to explain that the crow was sucking cock for a REASON, but it actually does sound kind of creepy saying it out loud.
web.archive.org/web/20090114220905/http://comicsbulletin.com/features/107419514831683.htm

However, this is the first time I'm hearing anything about Millar's wife getting a divorce, or that it supposedly happened because of The Unfunnies. I don't think it sounds like a credible claim, unless if user can provide a source.

>during comic con
nice just a week or two then

Wew

Yeah, I dunno if I believe she divorced him over that. But I do think that if I was married to someone who wrote something like that unironically, I'd have to question our marriage.

He did get divorced in 09 so that part is true at least.

Also
>The unfunnies was published from 04-07
HE SPENT 3 FUCKING YEARS ON IT

>However, this is the first time I'm hearing anything about Millar's wife getting a divorce, or that it supposedly happened because of The Unfunnies. I don't think it sounds like a credible claim, unless if user can provide a source.


Well given that he got married 2 years ago, then it's credible to say that his wife then at least divorced him

>I tried to explain that the crow was sucking cock for a REASON, but it actually does sound kind of creepy saying it out loud.
What the fuck
I mean, jesus
He actually thought this was a good idea didn't he

He comes off like an edgy kid in high school

I've never read The Unfunnies.
Would a kind user storytime it?

I guarantee someone will do it this weekend

Bendy

>What are some Sup Forums-related fuckups that went over so badly the creators had to acknowledge it?

The Crossing was so bad one of its main architects, who became EiC while it was running, allowed the Marvel writers and editors to do stories about how bad it was and how almost everyone in the story was a Space Phantom in disguise.

What's The Unfunnies about?

That user is making shit up again. The Unfunnies was written back in the early 00's. IIRC Millar got divorced in the late 00's so Unfunnies couldn't have anything to do with it.

How did this edgy talentless hack get any work?

They got divorced 2 years after Unfunnies finished its run. It went from 04 to 07 according to wikipedia.

But yeah, unlikely that it was the cause of their divorce.

I went and read The Unfunnies thanks to this thread and now I have to wonder how anyone could have signed off on its creation - like, seriously question how someone thought this was a good idea AND was in a high enough position to greenlight it. I mean, this little tidbit from the comic speaks for itself.

Well it was made for Avatar Press

Isn't that Millar's dad even?
Someone said that once and now I can't help but laugh at those pages with him shoddily cropped in.

And yeah you got a point, but it was Avatar.

Unpopular opinion but I don't think The Unfunnies is that bad. Don't get me wrong, it's a weird and edgy story that Millar never should have written, but Sup Forums gets way too hyperbolic about it.

What are the other two?

Millar must have really hated his dad, if that's the case.

Is this b8

explain yourself

I'd love to do a postmortem analysis of WHY the Unfunnies is so bad. Like, there's so many things that go wrong, chief of which is the lack of any clear discernible genre: is it horror? Dark comedy? Gross-out comedy? Satire? Like, what's the main point of it?

Not that user but Alan Moore gets hipstery about his own work and thinks its way overrated.

Out of the unholy trinity, the Unfunnies is probably the only one that can be redeemed. As seen in there's a cool hypercrisis-esque subtext which has a lot of potential in terms of storytelling that Millar never utilizes. The edginess and over-the-top dark content could be used to make a point of some sort, or tell a more compelling horror story.

Like what if instead of introducing the story with one of the main characters getting busted for kiddy porn, we start with the normal comedic "wacky hijinks" suddenly having horrifically real-life consequences? Suddenly cartoonish injuries are actually realistic, to the point where the characters are now dying. Like, slowly but steadily the world is being corrupted, as the humor becomes more and more mean-spirited and sadistic, with the characters trapped in the nightmare of being playthings for an utterly malicious writer. The narrative itself is being turned on its head for the purpose of evil.

Boom, it might not win an Eisner, but I guarantee that my take on the Unfunnies would be much more well-recieved than the turd we got.

Unfunnies, Trouble (the OP image) and Marville, which is the one Millar didn't write

i always thought The Unfunnies would be better if Millar had the foresight to write "The Funnies" beforehand. like just a 2 or 3 issue comic series so we could connect to these characters and have have some context for how things are "supposed to be". as is, why should i give a shit if Joe T. Crow gets busted for kiddy porn? i don't know Joe T. Crow. i don't know if this is any different from his usual kind of adventure. it has no impact because i have no frame of reference for what the world is "supposed" to be like.

>My wife got about six pages into it when she was reading it in the bath the other night and she just threw it at me.
LMFAO I just read the first six pages and I don't blame her

Honestly at this point Trouble could be considered the Magnum Opus of marvel writing when you compare it to the garbage being produced these last few years.

This is why they need to move away from the "comedy news" angle and go back to original stories. Yeah it's harder than just taking stories from the headlines, but at least its move creative.

Last few seasons have been the worst in the shows history, because of this garbage.

out of the loop here, do you mean the Bendy game? What was it they addressed, the shitty price for every (really short) chapter?

I mean the series has always alluded to the fact Finn would lose his arm, I wouldn't be surprised if it happens permanently by the end of the series.

Do you mean the animated version of it? Because I KINDA agree, it's not really a great adaption of the story (I think all the Joker scenes are great though and that's the important part)

The comic is gold though fuck off outta here

To be fair though at least they gave it a shot trying something new with continuous storylines. After being on the air for so long it's nice they're still trying to keep it fresh even if sometimes it backfires. The fact they're willing to admit it when something doesn't go as planned means we might get a better season with 21.

I think if they did another tie-in with The Fractured, But Whole like they did with Stick of Truth that would make for a fun season 21. That season in my opinion shows they CAN do continuous storylines well, but it's best when it's kids doing kid stuff and it remains south-park central rather than basing it off the news and the world today.

But i'm also a massive SP fan so I can't really bring myself to hate even the shittiest of episodes.

Anyone have a link to this so I can see for myself?

At the most, just based on what i'm reading about it here, you could argue that reading it put the idea in her head that her husband wasn't who she thought he was and from there on she began questioning everything in their marriage, past, present and the future.

This is speaking as someone who had to make a tough decision to end a long relationship after something vaguely similar happened (Only less professional) and it made me wonder who I'd been dating all this time. Eventually I left because I just wasn't happy not knowing the person I thought I loved all this time, plus it made it easier to see all the red flags I ignored before.

So it's possible just kinda unlikely it's the ONLY reason.

Nuff said

Sadly this, they assumed she would win because that's what every poll said plus they live in california so they would have only seen hillary supporters for the most part. If she had won the election their is no way of knowing if season 20 would have been great but at least we wouldn't have been given a story with a dozen loose ends.

Again, it's gonna get storytimed later this month, relax

I dunno, i thought the season before this one was pretty good.

And you are probably gonna be waiting a long time if you expect them to stop doing topical stuff. For better or worse, thats kinda their thing now. It has been for years really They just flew too close to the sun with their connected story this season.

To be fair, everyone thought Clinton was gonna win. Trump's staffers thought Clinton was gonna win. It's not too hard to fault them for thinking it too, even if they should have been ready for the really off chance it didn't happened (which happened)

I was literally about to post that same image and then it said there was a duplicate file, I refreshed the page, and whaddya know.

Too bad Joe will never admit to how bad this is. He's in complete denial about the whole thing.

Patience my friend. Patience

>Ew no that's not the Spider-man from my boyhood!
>Spider-Man shouldn't get married! He should never leave Neverland!
>I don't even like MJ she's not the original romance for Peter!
>And that's why Peter should date my daughter!
Fuck you Joe. You fuckfaced bastard.

Well at least Joe Kelly knows its bullshit

>He should never leave Neverland!

I will never understand quesadilla and slotts obsession with Gwen

>the crow was sucking cock for a REASON
>-M. Millar.

We should have a collection. Great quotes of the masters.

Check your callendar. It's already on the schedlue.

Joe Kelly knows that a lot of things are bullshit. I will always love him for his JLA run

WHATS THE FUCKING SECRET!!

Joe Quesadilla fucked up Spider-Man almost as bad as he fucked up his real marriage.

One word

Ultimatum

>Kids don't care who the characters are, they just want new toys. Kill 'em all.

How'd he fuck it up so bad?

Non-meming, the first half hour or so was pretty mean-spirited.

A lot of the problems with the book come from the way it presents itself, how much text consumes each panel, and the fucking atrocious artwork.

Has anybody within Marvel actually admitted it was a mistake?

Have you always had that trip Boco or is it new?

Hm? Same one I've always used, as far as I know.

>optimus dies
>ratings tank

Somehow I never noticed you had a trip until now, maybe I am in the Berenstain universe now. Do people tell you to shut up here too?

Of course.
Better question, where else does Boco go?

>they bring him back, even when he didn't have a new toy to shill

Always.

no bendy from Foster's cartoon you idiot.

I will pay money to see someone take an actual dump on this comic and find Joe at a convention if if he goes to them (not much of a comic fag so I have no idea myself) and throw it in his face.

Sparky from FOP

that fuck was gone within a season, holy shit kek.

>they bring him back, even when he didn't have a new toy to shill

a rare instance of a fuckup being acknowledged AND fixed.

He ate Pete and MJ's baby

I still don't even get what the point of the tower was

Spider-Man or his marriage?

Not really no. Although a few writers have made references to it in a not so positive manner like that pic above. Even Stan Lee made fun of it in his Spider-Man news strip.

Realistically speaking you can't speak out against it. The fan outrage was so huge it's not like the stockholders and everyone else at Marvel wasn't aware of it. But Joe still kept his job and no on said shit. It's obvious the stockholders like Joe, they're literally pushing for him to be the next Stan Lee. And in his defense he has made Marvel a shit ton of money.

But still, I think it's pretty much universally accepted by most fans and people in the business that Joe was really on some other shit when he wrote that fan fiction tier garbage.

Most likely Marvel the execs put their foot down on anyone criticizing it because they realized just how big of a fuck up it was. I mean the fact that ten years later there's still a huge angry fan base but no one in Marvel is really comments on it is more than a little suspicious.

>Anthony Williams was personally selected by Millar to illustrate the title due Williams's past experience in the animation industry, which Millar believed would allow Williams to perfectly render the intended Hanna-Barbera-based cartoon art style that was to clash with the story's grim subject matter in a manner comparable to, "It's A Wonderful Life Part 2 starring all the same people as the original or The Little Mermaid 3 animated in exactly the same style, but the opening scene had Ariel's dad busted for child molestation or James Stewart sneaking into a mortuary for a little skull-fucking." Millar expressed dissatisfaction with Williams' initial artwork, and instructed him to "make it shittier".

hahaha wow thats so bad haha what a joke post more

reminder that #1 and #2 came out in '04 and it caused such a shitstorm with Millar's other employers that #3 and #4 didn't come out for three more years.
>How did this happen
It was the beginning of the Millarworld line of books. Chosen was at Dark horse, Wanted was at Top Cow, Unfunnies was at Avatar and they all were announced at the same time as this big publishing event. This was when Ultimates was one of the biggest books on the market.

Can someone fill me in on why this particular comic is so hated?

Imagine you like a character.
Imagine you've been reading them for ages.
(MJ and Peter had been married for nearly 20 irl years)
and then imagine some fucking cock smoker decides he can create a better version of this character, nukes the whole god damned continuity, kills characters, brings others back to life, undoes interactions and generally takes a steaming shit on the book.

THEN he becomes head creative officer in editorial so that no one can ever un fuck the character and gets a new writer who cares nothing for the legacy to write a bunch of his OCs for the next decade.

Millar is unironically the most fun writer in the industry

>I mean the fact that ten years later there's still a huge angry fan base but no one in Marvel is really comments on it is more than a little suspicious.

I also find people who say things like "One More Day was [number] years ago, get over it" also suspicious. It's either someone who doesn't understand how comics work, or they're getting paid to defend Marvel, or both.

>I went and read The Unfunnies thanks to this thread and now I have to wonder how anyone could have signed off on its creation

It was published by Avatar and Millar was super-popular at the time, what'd you expect?
