And I think it comes down to an arrested development that just permeates everything. “This made me feel bad” is a fine first impression of something! But it doesn’t entitle you to anything, and it’s not a complex thought and you miss the chance to find out or discuss WHY it makes you feel bad

This is why you’re the best, Alex.

Some art is precision-engineered to hurt you because pain is a feeling and the function of art is to make you feel. Some art is precision-engineered to comfort and inspire, and that's fine too. It's only a failure if you feel nothing.

To be clear: you’re not wrong for a piece of art to hurt you. You’re not wrong to express your anger, your hurt, or to discuss not supporting artists whose art hurts you. But art is also allowed to hurt you. Artists are allowed to make art that hurts you. Harassment is completely inappropriate

Just tapping this sign again today, for no reason.

We had such a blast pitching the dumbest idea we’ve had in a long time on @smitpod.bsky.social check it out! Also check out Garfield minus Garfield. It’s really good. #comicsky

Spider-Man minus Spider-Man plus Garfield

Out today! @mojoversepod.bsky.social’s Matt and Allison join us to pitch… “Spider-Man Minus Spider-Man Plus Garfield?” A riff on the classic “Garfield Minus Garfield” idea for the modern cinematic age. Available anywhere you can find podcasts (here’s Spotify) open.spotify.com/episode/1bNi...

There is still time to post your predictions! Here are a few of Peyton's inspirations for the upcoming pitch. Maybe this might help get those brainworks going for plot-beats, characters, dance sequences, etc.!

Also, new Guest Pitch tomorrow with the @mojoversepod.bsky.social hosts!

This season of snap is so dominated by Man-Spider I imagine he’s on the way to a balance patch, which will be interesting since he COST 20 DOLLARS! I can’t remember a more disruptive card. Maybe Arishem? I don’t know.

I put off reading The Unbelievable Gwenpool for reasons I would now describe as pure snobbery. I wish I’d read it sooner, it’s one of the best books we’ve read on the show. Goes to show, it’s important to be a discerning reader, but being a snob basically only hurts and limits yourself. #comicsky

I think you’re going to love it. So honestly save it for when you do have the time to really enjoy it.

Our Extended Mutant Family: The Unbelievable Gwenpool by Christopher Hastings and Gurihiru | Escape the Mojoverse: An X-Men Comics Podcast

It’s the Friday before Thanksgiving and Our Extended Mutant Family is getting meta as we read The Unbelievable Gwenpool by @drhastings.bsky.social and @gurihiru.bsky.social a delightful—sometimes shockingly prescient—book about a girl from our world playing GTA in the Marvel Universe. #comicsky

My thought exactly. He’d probably want to learn and could serve as the audience surrogate

S04E04: Rare Flavours — A Gnawing Feeling ft. Ritesh Babu

Our pals over at @comicsanspod.com are reading Rare Flavors by Ram V and Filipe Andrade, one of the best comics I’ve ever read. Go give them a listen, they are the best, and smart and funny and insightful. #comicsky

Well, lucky for you there is a book that answers that question.

The next three (secretly four) episodes of @mojoversepod.bsky.social are all about two characters who became popular in the time I was not reading comics: Gwenpool and Ms. Marvel. Lo and behold their original runs really do live up to the hype. Thoughtful, hopeful, classic comics. #comicsky
