The Movement

Can someone please story time this?

It's actually been storytimed before. The Movement has also simultaneously been deemed not very good.

Never mind guys, I found a website that streams comics for free so I'll be posting the comic myself, huzzah!!

anyway, the user below has said that we already story timed this. I am aware of this as I read and participated in the original thread.

I probably won't make commentary as funny as the last guy who did this, but I shall try none the less. so lets dive right in to the comic that is everything wrong with comic book writing this day and age.

So the comic starts with cops doing cop things. You know, arresting some guy for drug use, harassing him and his girl, telling the girl to show them her tits, you know, the average life of a beat cop.

Suddenly they hear the cops line being repeated. Both of them turn around to see a hooded figure. When confronted, the figure holds up a phone with the letters I C U (I see you, geddit?) and reveals that he is wearing a mask that looks like it has a camera and recorder in it. Suddenly they are surrounded by other people wearing the same masks and holding their smart devices with ICU on them. This is empowering and doesnt resemble a cult AT ALL!

We cut to the police chief getting off the phone with his wife and is told that the incident has been shown on television. Understandably pissed, he confronts to officers responsible, no such cartoonishly evil act will be allowed in his precinct. Unfortunately, union are actually this cartoonishly evil and the chief cannot punish them no matter how much they deserve it.

Then a caller tells the chief that someone called the Cornea killer has struck again.

Are you really going to make yourself and us suffer this damn cancer all over again?

Think of your life user!

user, I've seen this crap before. I don't want to see it again.

We switch perspective to a kid outside a church. The pastor urges him to go in and get out of the cold. The kid declines, saying that bad things happen when he goes into church, but quickly changes his mind when the pastor talks to him (a bit convient, don'cha think?)

Switch perspectives again and we are at the crime scene of the death. The corpse has been mangled and eyes taken out, pretty damn brutal. Unfortunetly, this won't be relevent for a couple of issues, so you won't remember when it becomes important.

We Switch Perspectives again to the Church and we learn why Burden doesn't like going into churches. Ya know you could have tried not going into the church a little harder there kid. This sets the precedent on how much of a disappointment burden is a Human being.

we switch perspectives YET AGAIN to the cops getting a call about burdens rampage at the church and they believe he is the Cornea killer. The cops head out and we see 3 figures getting ready for something to go down.

When cops arrive, the are shocked at what they see. As Burden Greets them, a rat with a tag on its neck scurries up to them. taking the letter off the rat and reading it instead of paying attention to the DEMONIC FLOATING CREATURE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CHURCH, the cop read the letter and all it says is WAR! Ooooh, edgy.


Come on Anons, don't tell me you don't wanna shit on this some more and that your both just a little masochistic.

Suddenly the floor gives way beneath them and a flood of rats emerge, carrying some pasty, skinny Black Veil Brides reject who calls himself mouse, prince of rats (obligatory face palm.)

Then we cut to a girl called tremor who destroys a valuable crime scene and possibly endangering some cops lives who she knows nothing about.

Then we cut to the chief hiding behind a wall outside of the church getting ready to fight when a girl appears behind him and tells him he's trespassing ( to which i say that, as a christian myself, you cannot trespass on a church, as all should be welcome)

then we cut to officer Whitt being confronted by Katharsis, the radfem movement personified. She taunts him into a fight. How much do you wanna bet she beats him easily anons?

Why you gotta do this to us?

WHY

Well user, is a free internet for now, so do whatever you want. Still, this shit is going to give you an eunerism.

Has she ever done anything worth reading?

You know the answer.

ITS BLACK DYNAMITE!!!

Guy who usually story-times The Movement here.

Please stop. I've already story-timed it once this year. I don't think the board can take it a second time.

Please

Come on man, Saint Whitt himself is asking you to stop for all of our sakes.

So Katharsis beats Whitt easy. Am I disappointed, yes. Am I surprised, no.

We cut back the the Chief and the Girl (named virtue and she is just as self righteous as her name suggests, telling the chief that he and the rest of the cops are not welcome in the 'tweens (fuck my life) and tells him to give up his gun after she told him that his wife was having and affair with another cop. and tells him to get out.

the chief, still following his civic duty and doing what the tax payers pay him to do, goes into the church to try and get help from the pastor, but it turns out him and all the other people in the church are part of The Movement and want them out, ending the comic, once again, with a panel that makes them look like a cult.

So ends Chapter 1, just 11 chapters to go, hope your ready for a wild ride anons, because it never ends.

They always want to make the police that massive repressive power in cape comics when they can't even handle the villain for the week.

Daily reminder that everyone in this comic deserves to be tortured and killed slowly.

That nigger has a name honky.

It's OFFICER BLACK DYNAMITE.

DYNAMITE

Badum

DYNAMITE

The funny thing about most "progressive" comics is that once you get past the initial knee-jerk disgust, you begin to realize the true horror isn't the politics, but rather the mind of the author.

The Movement is a great example of this. All of the political shit is meaningless since Gail Simone is mentally stuck in the 8th Grade.

What I wouldn't give to see Chief Dynamite AHH SUIIIII that Virtue bitch's ass.

This comic is the dark future where Black Dynamite finally settled down, got married, and joined forces with the Man.

And Amish being fucking witch hunters. And demonboy being suddenly gay out of context.

...

Sorry padre but no, all are welcome in God's House. It isn't your place to say can and who can't be there

How long until some artist makes a version of the Boys who has to deal with shitty people like the 'heroes' of this comic and all the crap infecting marvel?

It's also not her damn church and her goons are wrecking the place. Gail Simone was a mistake.

Only a godless heathen like Gail Simone would ask such a question.

This hurts… How can you portray people who are blatantly in the wrong as if they are some sort of modern day robin hood?…

Leftism.

demons can't go into churches that's like rule one

Well, they can, sorta, but it's like stepping into a vat of boiling oil. It's excruciatingly painful, but possible. And if they befoul the holy ground, then suddenly they're fine, and the church is just a building.

Is anyone else getting a total schizophrenic feel from this, because the writing is SJW Tumblr pozzed but the art is 90's bad girl?

Shouldn't this be drawn by Calarts grads with potato heads and noodle arms? Preferably out of flash elements?

they can if there's double heretics in it, there was a church in england that got blown up by a hellhound because of that

DC's Art was pretty standard at that point. There were some worse than others LIEFEEEEEEEEELD but the style was mostly the same across every book. No chibi animesque noodle arms.

Basic storytelling and overt, aggressive soapboxing don't mix well.

The author wants this to be one long lecture to the audience about oppression and racism and how the young people have to break all the rules… but this shit needs to be a comic too, with characters and a plot, so it comes off as disjointed and awkward.

This is OP. I have read through all your posts and I have seen many people beg me not to continue this series. I have even been contacted by our Savior Whitt, previous poster of this comi, and told to show mercy and not continue with this thread anymore and to just let it die. So I have been thinking to my self the question in the accompanying pic

This is my answer

So we start as we mean to go on.

Whitt and Pena are being brought into the Movements base, where the discover that the hideout use to be a workshop where immigrants use to work and were subject to terrible working conditions. Whitt makes a good point by basically saying it doesn't matter.

The girl who whitt assaulted earlier comes up and slaps him. though I have a feeling she wouldn't have done it if he was un-cuffed, GURRRRL POWER YOU GAIZ!!!!!

Whitt and Pena are brought to to a jail cell and locked up. Whitt brings up two good points on a single page. 1st being that wimpy kids are not going to be able to keep them there forever and 2nd, that the 2 police officers being locked up in a makeshift jail is the exact same as those women being locked in the building, making the movement massive hypocrites. Tremor and Virtue acknowledge this, but decided they are above such things as logic and common fucking decency.

Now we are introduced to the final member of the movement and, for my money, the most annoying, Vengeance Moth. Oh moth, of all the shitty characters in this book, you sure do take the cake. But thats a story for another time.

She says that Mouse is freaking out about something. Gasp! What could it be?

Oh shit, turns out one of his rats died. One of his LITERALLY MILLIONS OF RATS DIED. Apparently it was his favorite, but immediately afterwards, he wants to eat it. Sure it was your favorite Mouse, sure it was.

So then we Shift to a group meeting of the Meta Human leaders. I bet all these little commies in the movement wouldn't be so tough if it weren't for these guys.

any way, Burden gives some good Narration on how he is in the company of sinners (spot on champ). Katharsis wants to make an example of the cops and beat them up like the psycho bitch that she is.

Oh and the chief meets with an Officer named Yee and they have a brief conversation on why the became cops, namely to help people. This is meant to humanize the cops, but as you will soon see, this plot line and character development will go nowhere. The Chief says they will retreat for now, but are gonna bring back some more fire power.

Out of all the things that first page does wrong that's the worst one.

Ok Katharsis is losing her shit again and points to Burden and why he is here. Virtue says flat our says that he is only here to be muscles.

Oh look, Katharsis says she isn't liberal. Sure she's not.

OH SHIT CAT FIGHT!! Hopefully these two bitches lose it and off each other and….oh nope, Katharsis just left to do something else. Hey Virtue, pro tip, you might wanna be able to assert your command a little more, this is how "movement"s fall apart (ahh!)

Meet James Cannon, he a "Developer" who runs coral city. He is Evil, can you tell that he is Evil. I hope you can. The artist tried to draw hime as evil as they could. He is a white, straight male who has two women he obviously objectifies on a daily basis and also he is evil. Of course, Katharsis breaking and entering as well as wielding a weapon isn't evil at all, she is a strong, independant Wymyn and does nothing wrong ever.

Now the other goons in the movement have gone to interogate a person only known as the witch. People who go in uninvited don't come out, which begs the Question of why they didn't just try and meet her legitimately…Oh wait, look who Im talking about. But it turns out that they place where you die if you go in uninvited is actually guarded, who'da thunk it!

Katharis beats up the Guards however and tells them they aren't allowed to touch her (kinda Ironic aint' it) and Cannon calls in the fuzz. Kathy begins beating them up and resisting arrest, ya know, something a responsible woman would do.

Meanwhile the movement starts to fight and thats about all that happens on that page.

Finally Katharsis goes down. Guess you weren't stronk enough to do it yourself there Kathy. Maybe next time you won't go flying off the handle and…oh who am I kidding, you aren't actually going to learn anything of value in this comic.

Next, we see the Bowel Movement kicking ass and chewing bubble gum until they notice a shadowy figure in the alley. Holly Shit is it the Shadow, out to dispense some justice to these twerps in the form of scorching hot lead?!

Nope, its just some Indian looking Chick. I really don't know why I hold out hope that this comic will have something cool or Worth while. I mean, I read this comic and know how it all goes, but I just hope that if I reread it, I will notice something cool I missed. Alas, no such luck.

Oh well, so ends chapter 2. tune in next time when I post Chapter 3.

ur doin it rong

I really have no idea why she did that. Went ahead and humanized the cops. She's not giving us clear good guys or bad guys, which undermines her attempt at the political commentary on issues she knows nothing about.

We're a long way away from Joe Simon writing Brother Power fighting bikers as a metaphor of the hippies fight against society.

Has anyone called this book out on having women with porn-star curves in skimpy outfits trying to tell feminist parables? It's been a thing in super-hero comics trying to be feminist that goes all the way back to Wonder Woman.
I'd have thought Gail Simone would have got one of her Calarts droogs to draw this in a non-threatening, potato-noodle way. You know wymmyn with flabs covered in bags. If I'd tried drawing this way at Streetwize Comics I'd have been strung up from a lamppost like Mussolini. Bodine Amerikah showed them his portfolio and he said they went REEEEEEEEEEE on him because he draws "too sexy".

Nigger, this shit was made in 2013 and only lasted a year. It was before the sjw shit got really bad and the untalented calarts goons started getting comics.

However, I don't blame you, nigger, for thinking this was made more recently. DC has a great nack for publishing relevant shit long after it was relevant. By the time The Movement came out, Occupy, which it was supposed to cash in on, was no longer a thing.

I think she wanted the cops to eventually side with the Movement faggots or something.

Marvel are worse. Remember Occupy Avengers?
I'm old enough to remember Disco Dazzler. In the 80's.

Then again, DC were doing hotrod stories in Teen Titans in the 60's, so maybe comics are just always ten years behind.

That theory still doesn't explain that 70's issue of Deadly Hands of Kung Fu where Shang-Chi fights a gang of greasers right out of West Side Story…

Maybe the 70's was the one decade where they got it right.

That actually sounds pretty entertaining. It will be funnier if it's musical and Shang Chi singing with Chinese Opera troupe as his band.

How much would cost comissioning a whole reteling of this faggotry but by having the 'heroes' and anyone involved by them beaten and raped over and over?

The Movement? More like Bowel Movement, am I right?

If you're still asking about the cost then you're a poorfag. Just put your idea on the table and let a richfag take the bill.

Not an insult, just reminder that most of us are not flush with money.

What was that similar book with three camwhores beating people with baseball bats in their own homes for being sexist on the internet?

...

fer sure m8.

who needs enemies when you have friends like these?

I just wanted to say, that the girl in purple has some damn nice sweater puppies, that's all.

I dunno, but I'd fap to it.

SLAAAP

Trouble.

The artist that was on the Movement was Freddie Williams II. He appeared on an episode of Best of the Worst and is apparently friends with Rich Evans.

So I like to think Katharsis's massive cans are his mild form of rebellion.

Don't you talk shit about Ding Dong Daddy and his gang of high-school drop-outs that build custom cars.

Get it right, square.

When I saw this kind of one shot scene from comic book it reminds me of Seanbaby and how he can always make something funny with it.

I miss Seanbaby….

Okay speedster fan here going on another rant about how a speedster that can sense and see stuff in attosecond can't avoid obviously colourful dangerous gas.

Also Aqualad was so useless they had to create an extra scene where he got beaten up by flying surfing boards.

In the words of Steve Ditko when he was asked to settle a fight John Bryne started over his insistence that Doctor Octopus needed to have controls on his chest plate:

"Whatever you need for the story."

He just looks so happy all the time.

It sort of puzzles me how it was so easy to get into her pants too. Like that one black guy with the power of the sun or whatever didnt even have to do anything.

And Mightygodking.
His redubs of Civil War were so on-point, I wish he'd done more.

Blockade Boy seems to have completely dropped off the radar, his blog and his webcomic have both disappeared.

HA YOU NIGGAS THOUGHT I WAS GONE, BUT I'M BACK. NOW YOUR ALL GOING DOWN INANITY ROAD WITH ME!!!!!!

So Katharsis is getting beat up by the cops (and to any SJWs reading, yes she does deserve it) but putting up a good struggle, while contemplating how the law runs on the fear of the citizens and saying that she and her pals aren't afraid, but the people in power soon will be (So, remind me, how are you any better than them?)

The cops finally take her down and are going to take her back to headquarters, but Cannon says he's going to question her himself.

Are you crossposting this on worst/co/?

That's because he's based on Ed "Big Daddy" Roth.

Next we cut to the Gang fighting Rainmaker and getting their asses absolutely kicked. Mouse once again shows care for rat that he will soon forget about in the next panel.

By the way, Burden is a christian prude, did we mention that Burden is a christian prude, because that is important.

Never gets old.

Next we see a homeless man begging for change and wants to go get a cheeseburger.But of course the upperclass douchebags think he going to use it on drugs. Real subtle there Gail Simone.

However, he's being tracked by a mystrious man. Then the hobo notices a single raincloud has formed over him. He realizes what this means and high tails it out of there, but is soon caught against a wall and the stranger pulls a knife. holy crap, ITS THE CORNEA KILLER!!! if you forgot about him, don't feel to bad, so did I.

We then cut to Moth Bringing the officers nummers (yes nummers). Once again, Whitt proves to be a more competent then most of the other officers in the force but trying to gather whatever info he can as to where they are. He once agains calls these tweens with martyr complexes and notes that they will lock up people and note give them any trial date or communication with their loved ones, something a normal convict gets under the same system they claim to be fighting against.

It's okay to imprison officers without ever considering the human rights violations, also the Moth looks like an apology for making Oracle a tech guru instead of a bodybuilder.

stop saying next we cut to like youre the nostalgia critic you autistic

Moth then tells Whitt how great Virtue is as a leader (yeah right). We then cut to Virtue telling Mouse to bite some of Rainmaker's mooks and then she gets blasted with a lightning bolt and, oooohhh, how satisfying it is.

Then Burden finally decides to be useful and goes demon and it looks like an actual fight is going break out, but all Burden does is say some pretty proses, then gets shocked by RM for trying to shove christianity down her throat, something Simone wishes she could do.

Then Mouse and Virtue hold one of RM's little buddies at mouthpoint. RM, being fairly OK with this, finally gets it through her think head that The Movement doesn't work for Cannon and, when informed that she is being used as a scapegoat by said shit stain, decides to suddenly act like an information broker and tell them things about Cannon that the audience already fucking knows.

Then Virtue has the FUCKING GALL to ask RM to join their little treehouse gang, but she thankfully declines, so we don't have to endure more shit heel tweens quipping and trying to be heroic. RM also gives Virtue her number. For a date. Between Lesbians…..Did you know that we are progressive. The Movement then find out that Katharsis is under police custody.

We Then see Katharsis is being "Interogated" by Cannon, while Yee complains. Katharsis then starts to laugh about something. Cannon asks what it is and Katharsis does her thing giving violent and stupid insults, the same kind that your schoolyard bully told you in order to sound edgy.

Meanwhile Chief Meers is doing his fucking job and getting the big guns to help. He then sees Virtue sitting in HIS chair, legs up on HIS desk, sipping HIS coffee and saying it sucks. she then says that she wants to apologize for telling him that his wife is cheating on him, then immedietly proves how disingenious she is by ending her sentence with "Whatever" like every smug teen who's face you want to plant into the concrete.

Virtue then says that she wants to exchange prisoners. Since Meers doesn't know that Katharsis is being held in his building, he naturally tells Virtue that she can take her "Demands" and shove them up her ass and that cops have a job that she is actively impeding. Virtue, however, intendes to impede the police in the worst way possible, that being, Bringing all the little Cultists she and her group have brainwashed to the station, wearing their creepy masks and are prepared to tear it down.

Lets see, attacking other civilians, threatening lives, impeding the law, denying police officers their human rights and causing thousands in collateral damage. You sure are deserving of your moniker there "Virtue."

The one thing this comic gets right.

How about I do what I damn well please and you go sperg out elsewhere.

This is my first time reading this comic.
What the fuck is going on here? It makes no fucking sense.

Say what you want about the writing, at least the actual art is pretty good and pleasing to look at. How Freddie Williams got stuck on this comic I don't know, but his art is the only redeemable thing I can see for this series.

this comic is somehow worse with all this autistic commentary from OP.

I can only assume their target market is late teens signing up for college, listening to Rage Against the Machine and coming to the enlightened conclusion that, "Yeah, authority is like, bad, maaaaan!".
Because I see shit like this and it pushes me *away* from comics entirely.

Nothing about depictions of females. Nothing about diversity of cast. Nothing about inclusivity. It's that I find a pack of self-righteous, arrogant, sarcy cunts as the true moral compass who everyone agrees with, to be utterly repulsive.

The hell did I just read?

Awwww, did I offend your poor little feelings ya sperg?
