Most art "talent" is just 10k+ hours of ugly warmup doodles and practice sheets that nobody sees, but potentially artistic individuals would rather doompost "i'm just not creative", "oh I wish I could draw", and doomscroll instead of sitting down for 30 minutes a day and accepting their sketchbook will look and feel like a crime scene for the first two-three years (event less for those who are determined).
No one's born with talent, an affinity maybe. But that affinity does nothing if you don't train it.

The core reason as for why manga works better isn't genre variation, tho it plays a role
It isn't political shitlibbery, as some here would say, tho it plays a role
It's that US Comics aren't stories. They're a sandbox of endlessly repeating storylines with no beginning or end
DC Comics President Jim Lee says that Japanese manga and anime is "incredibly powerful":
"I often find myself wondering, 'What is missing in Western comics, and why aren't they able to achieve the same flavor?'
I think manga has an advantage over American comics, which are mostly about superheroes, and that's where the majority of sales and readers are concentrated.
In Japan, it's closer to 'literature,' and anyone can read it, and it's not just hero stories. There's a much wider range of genres, like stories about cooking and soccer. You can draw stories from that.
So I'm very happy that the manga has been so successful, because it gives me a goal to aim for."
