This was an amazing video! Far more than just manga vs comics this was an incredible deep dive and tons of research. Very smart work

Dc and Marvel, more like, had a strangled hold over the industry for over a century

I don't know, this video felt quite a bit unfocused and didn't really convince me of an answer to your posed question. I don't think the thesis of this video really matches with the evidence you provided. I suppose that makes me a cat >_> I think you had good points about people's media expectations being higher, but I don't think much of this video really helped your greater points of East and west media.

I very much agree, I was wondering throughout the video "how does this have anything to do with manga being better than American comic books? Where is this tangent going?" I think the idea is there, just not focused enough. It becomes too widespread.

I think the biggest thing manga has over western comics is that compendiums are far more available. And also while manga has Shounen Jump, Corocoro, etc, the closest thing we have to a mainstream grab bag of random comic series to discover is the barely-relevant Heavy Metal magazine.

@@Chdonga I think the biggest difference is from the markets themselves. the west relies WAY too much on brand recognition: Spider Man, Green Lantern, etc. these brands each have natural life cycles that have long since been declining in terms of itnrigue and fresh interest. If Japanese comics were similar to American in this emphasis on product recognition, I'd expect to see FMA: Brotherhood, Death Note, Astro Boy, and more IPs have multiple, ongoing spin offs and side story comics. Japan seems to better recognize that IPs have completed their life cycles, they will merchandise them, but not keep them in perpetuity, like in the case of Star Wars. Thinking about how BIG Japanese IP's like gacha games contradict this idea just kinda still proves the point that the East is less prone to product fatigue than American consumers are. Look at Futurama and how it was hated by FOX execs because it "wasn't imminently identifiable" as the Simpsons. The masters of media in the West believe that people just want what is recognizable and already known, while Japan is far more likely to let mangaka and studios go for new ideas. OFC no anime is made without it having been a proven manga first, the same principles exist, just not nearly as strongly.

@@sammy7335 there are defo shows that poke a hole in ur hypothesis, Shows like Gundam, pokemon, Dragon ball yu-gi-oh etc. that have stuck around with loads and loads of renditions. I still think what you said is broadly true tho, there aren't many avenues through which media that isn't "already" popular can become so in the west.

@sammy7335 4 ай бұрын

@@kosmokat111 Sure, but even pokemon, the most profitable IP in history has only existed for 30ish years. Star Wars and Star Trek, marvel, mickey mouse, etc. are certainly generationally older. My idea wasn't to say that Japan DOESN'T have "legacy" IP's, it was that that market feels more iterative in a unique way, it feels more liable to allow for mutation and for artists to do newer works at the cost of brand recognition. America feels much further along the "Andy Warhol's Nightmare" pipeline of art for profit to the point of art becoming "art," such as with AI produced "work." Japan, being capitalist will still use these tools, and at no point am I trying to say Japan is some mecca of originality. It's just fresher by comparison. It really is what consumers will stomach. That's how the market "works."

Personally I think making Superman black in every multiverse will solve over policing of poor people
