>>2001857Western comics will forever be a more tangible and respectable form of visual storytelling than manga will ever try to be. Problem is, no one will recognize comicbooks without thinking of capeshit, and comic capeshit is doing seriously badly as all the funding and creative people went to the much more profits movie industry.
Normies actually get surprised when you tell them that The Walking Dead and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles started out as comicbooks, and yet, they'd rather stick with watching the shows and movies because the retarded social stigma of associating comicbooks with nerds and other social misfits is a legitimate concern to them.
Hell, normies nowadays are way WAAAAY less embarrassed about stating that they read manga and watch anime than they are staring that they watch cartoons and read comics. I mean, why is saying that you're reading The Goon and watching Star vs. Tge Forces of Evil considered a serious hit to your social image as opposed to admitting to reading Monster Musume and watching Cat Planet Cuties? Jesus...
