I'm a Marxist-Leninist, a Lesbian, a subpar fanfiction author and a fucking mess all at once. Edelgard Von Hresvelg did nothing wrong.

Why the fuck does the Jem and the Holograms tv show have a bigger following on here than the comic? jemstarstrawberries: jemis0utrag3ous: jemandtheholograms: dressthesage: Like what the twaddlefuck. Because it is awesome and unique. There is way more content there and TV is commonly regarded as more accessible than comics (sadly). And, ya know, 20+ years of fandom that never died. The television show is what started the fandom, haven’t you noticed that more people know the cartoon than the Hasbro dolls? It’s what inspired the comic and the IT collectible dolls.

However, I’m not even gonna bring the movie into this discussion but whatever! The comic costs money you’re not already spending. Cable/Internet has a billion uses and you’re probably already paying for that. Comics? You have to go out of your way to specialty stores (the nearest I’ve seen the Jem comics is an hour away in Wheaton), hope they have the issue you need (since, y’know, you probably want to read them in order) and THEN spend more money. Not to mention the fact that some people just might not like the comics. Why is Jetta black? Why is Stormer fat? Why is everyone gay? Some people might not like those changes to the original characters, and that’s a legitimate reason to not want to read the comics in general. :shrug: Wasn’t gonna out and out say it, but I always figured that last little bit was exactly the fucking reason. 4 years ago
