Part 5/15:

The conversation amplifies its critique by delving into the decline of comic book quality, citing specifically the degeneration of classic characters and stories. The panelists mock the recent trend of "diversity bingo," where characters of different races, genders, or sexualities are introduced not for storytelling purposes but primarily for virtue signaling.

They deride modern comic book content as degenerate, often sexualized or fetishized, referencing comic book arcs like "Nightwing's ass" or "Harley Quinn fart comics," which satirically highlight how some comics seem to prioritize shock value or sexual content over storytelling. They lament the loss of iconic, gritty horror or punk rock elements, favoring the older, more authentic roots of the industry.
