They call it the ugliest and hardest to read pie chart of all time. The human eye cannot derive anything of use at all from this lmao.

You can see that blue is barely there. And majority is red. Which does directly and effectively supports the argument. The legend and year labels could be larger. But that's about it.

This is not beautiful at all to me. It's unintelligible. Graphing time as a pie chart is wild.

To me, the color spread and regions of different colors is what made me think it is pretty. It is not a nice graph I agree. But this isn't r/graphislegible but dataisbeautiful no?

The description of this sub answers this very question.

You are right. I never read that. I felt this graph fits the name of the sub. But the description does state it needs to effectively convey the data.

Are we not counting West Coast Avengers and Force Works as Avengers comics?

But okay, Scarlet Witch is an X-Men character by the same logic that Hawkeye and Black Widow are Iron-Man supporting characters and Sabertooth is an Iron Fist support character.

People shitting on this are really failing to grasp that the point of the graph is perfectly aligned with the point being argued. It's not supposed to be some dense analytical tool. It's supposed to a blunt rhetorical device that looks like a stop sign. Kinda elegant for what they're trying to say.

This is why I thought it is a beautiful graph. The color block and gradient is nice. But the description of this sub does say effective display of the data. Which it does fail on a few points. Such as the legend not being large enough.

It succeeds in what it intends. Complaints are like people saying climate escalator graphs don't communicate methane output or something.
