Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I think the "woke" was just the race swapping mainly.

Tbh, I also hate race/gender swap movies/shows, but the reason is because I also hate reboots like Total Recall where the only similarity between the OG and the remake was "mars." I just hate remakes at all and "oh look we made the ghostbusters women now" just feels so lazy like "tell me you're out of ideas without telling me you're out of ideas."

Furthermore it's pandering at best but honestly it may be kinda sexist/racist that they can't think of strong female/black characters they can create to have their own legacy like, Ellen Ripley in Alien or even goddamn Thelma and Louise.

Frankly idgaf what color/gender the lead is, I just want an actual original concept. No, not another "new" marvel movie either lol.

Counterpoint. An opportunity to repair the error of our past ways by creating new more inclusive opportunities🤷

I'm also not as anti reboot, sequels, etc as many of my nerd brethren. So I'm fine with lazy remix.

Actually that is my point, new, not endlessly rehashed.

Endlessly rehashed? Alternative underrepresented ideology is overdone? Sounds a lot like "I don't care what they do, as long as they keep it in the bedroom" .. you're only okay with it, if it's amount you're comfortable with, not a threshold determined by the underrepresented.

I meant "scooby doo" itself. And yes, there have been quite a few. We don't need more we need new. I will not forgive the world for "Teen Titans Go!"

Your attempt to paint me as "phobic" or "ist" has nothing to do with the fact I don't like remakes. I did like The Proud Family, I liked The Boondocks, because they were new and good, and they were still representation. You can take that strawman down anytime you like.

Edit: The PJs, Black Dynamite, Mike Tyson Mysteries too.
