Is it just me or has anyone noticed for all its praise and success there's barely anything similar to Bone in the...

What am i supposed to use then? What pirate website do all the cool Aryans use?

You have no idea what you're talking about at all

Then why does no one talk about Bone like they do Diary of a Wimpy kid or Harry Potter or Percy Jackson or other nostalgic kid's books?

Am I just an out of touch grown ass adult who shouldn't think too hard on this but is it just me or is kid literature "sanitized" now?
Doesn't help with all the kid lit going on having their dialogue changed to be more politically correct or easier to read for kids today from Ronald Dahl to fucking Goosebumps.
I get the Smile audience books have their appeal and they're not for me but from an outsider's perspective they honestly just blend in.
As if they're the most inoffensive, basic thing you can put out.
And if kids like it sure that's fine but part of me thinks there might have been decline in variety.
Granted I grew up in the diary format days so I probably have no right to complain about variety in those spaces so correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm not afraid to eat crow.

Because the series ended in 2004 with the colored editions taking less than half a decade to do so.
With Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, etc those kids actually grew up on reading those books as they came out over the span of decades
It was a massive deal whenever a new book dropped

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

has a new book out every year and had three films in the 2010s

Harry Potter

Had a conclusive series of books that also had major blockbuster movies adapting each of them

Percy Jackson

Books published over the course of the 2000s, had two movies in the 2010s, a new continuation started in 2020s

If only there was some connector between these that was more obvious than claiming Scholastic forces kids to buy books

kids don't actually care about bone, they buy it because scholastic book fairs oblige them to buy books and this is a better buy than "the past was SO bad!" and "racism is terrible :(" books

They just buy manga for their comic fix instead, because it has cool shit in it western kid's comics refuses to do, like fight scenes and cute girls and detailed designs

They don't force you, but when you're given time off your day to browse a book fair and other kids are buying some, it plays into psychology and makes you feel like you should buy some. It's kind of messed up even if the intentions are good. But it si a grift.

You really are a dumb midwit, huh

I have seen kids interested in Bone. Recently and not at book fairs, I might add, so I think it has some evergreen appeal. I also have a suspicion without confirming evidence that these kids may become less interested in Bone as it goes on, as the plot kicks into higher gear and the cartoon slapstick recedes.

But they're STILL talked about now long after the series ended or pastinitial relevance. Kids born after the HP books ended are still getting into them.

Amulet?

Speaking of Amulet, did anyone else read the ending? What are your anon's thoughts on it?

Kids born after the HP books ended are still getting into them.

Because it's this massive franchise propped up by Warner Bros unlike say, A Series of Unfortunate Events

Are you somehow ignoring the fact that Harry Potter is now a multimedia franchise that regularly gets new projects released to keep it in the public conscious?

I don't hate the artstyle and I'm not gonna seethe about its existence but how many swears and slurs do you think Roald Dahl would cuss out if he saw this for himself?

Bone gets less crossboard discussion compared to something like Animorphs, which didn't even get a proper adaptation past some episodes
Why is it Bone never gets that? And it's not like it stopped being sold, and allegedly is still sells well, even. Where's all the nostalgic posts about Bone out there? Why is it this franchise that sells well for scholastic, but doesn't even have any sort of presence in pop culture?

You really are stupid as hell, aren't you? Harry Potter was MASSIVE back in the 2000s. It was everywhere. Then that led to the theme park area at Universal Studios Orlando in 2010 and then the Fantastic Beasts films which didn't do well as the Potter films but still made money and kept promotion for Harry Potter going.

And that's not even getting into the games.

Bone gets less crossboard discussion compared to something like Animorphs, which didn't even get a proper adaptation past some episodes

Because Animorphs got a resurgence from kids who grew up actually reading the damn thing and not just stared at the covers when they were bored and actually knew how fucked up and lore heavy those books are for their demographic.
It's kind of like the cult following Bionicle has.
Bone doesn't have as much crossboard appeal in comparison.
It's a series that originated as an indie comic that got it big because the creator's wife/business manager went on overdrive to make sure it was as accessible as possible.

Dahl was a man of pretty intense opinions. He would probably give it the minimum of a snide aside. It's entirely possible he would get Xitterbanned way before that hit shelves. I could see him writing an extensive rant on Anon Babble, assuming he even bothered to use the site.

If you're using crossboard discussion as your measuring stick you're a fucking idiot
I guess because Anon Babble never talks about Raina's books or fucking Dork Diaries those books aren't as successful as people say they are

But supposedly..Bone sells really well too.Not Harry Potter numbers, but still well enough to be a staple in scholastic bookfairs to this day.
Yet no one seems to know the characters or plot beats the same they do other books that were about as popular as it.

s got a resurgence from kids who grew up actually reading the damn thing and not just stared at the covers when they were bored

So did no one read Bone then or what? There's no reason for it to have any less crossboard appeal than animorphs or Wimpy kid or whatever other scholastic book series that pops up in discussions and memes.

If you're using crossboard discussion as your measuring stick you're a fucking idiot

He was already an idiot when he posted and then can't figure out why Harry Potter is so popular

OP:

Why does no one talk about Bone the way they do Harry Potter or the other books?

Everyone else in the thread:

Harry Potter and the other books reached through other media and therefore had a massive media push

OP:

It's obviously a Scholastic conspiracy to push Bone!!

Post above yours'
Fucking Anon Babble never talked about Dogman until it got storytimed last year outside of industry discussion because of how well it sold
Hell this place almost never talks about Maus, Persepolis, etc
Basic fucking staples someone interested in comics would read in their Junior High library
Anon Babble fucking sucks when it comes to reading comics

I guess because Anon Babble never talks about Raina's books or fucking Dork Diaries those books aren't as successful as people say they are

Nah I've seen people reference those books outside of here. Never Bone,though.Those books are targeted at girls and of course, no girls on Anon Babble, so I wouldn't expect references here, but I've seen proof that people actually read the books and remembered them
HP was already huge even before the movies. The movies made them bigger, but it was already selling well before that.

This series was so boring I rooted for the villains to kill everybody but it was another "good guys always win" copout propaganda so I dropped it
TOTAL BONE GENOCIDE WHEN WE NEED TO BURN THESE "BOOKS" BRAINWASHING CHILDREN, THE WORLD IS NOT SO BLACK AND WHITE

Why are you still unfunny?

Never Bone,though.

Then why the fuck were people pissed at Netflix for cancelling its animated series?

Because my crush moved on from me and I am coping for the next 5 years that this world only exists to hurt my mental state
Trust no one, crucify all. That is the only way to survive.

Yet no one seems to know the characters or plot beats the same they do other books that were about as popular as it.

It's just not that appealing.
It's relatively novel, and there are spots of great writing, but it just doesn't have anything for consumer autism to hook onto like Hogwarts's houses.

Oneitis is for suckers

I was a bit sad it was open ended but ultimately happy that it finished at all.

Never even read a single book

This is the dumbest shit I've read in a while. How much of a paranoid loser do you have to be to even type this?
