Wind God Sety posted:But "it's" is used correctly in panel 3 Yeah, I looked after he said it and it's is used properly. "For you, good is a rational act. It is rules, it is calculations, it is your choices plugged in a grand equation" He's explaining what his version of good is, not saying that rules and calculations and choices properties possessed by good. Quite the opposite, really. Get out Darth Windu you can't even grammar right.

MikeJF posted:No, she was going for Eightfold's book, but when she saw Max was falling she went to save him instead, at the cost of losing her own grip and any chance of getting the book. Thus illustrating that she's a better person than Spender see: what Forge is talking about in this comic. That's pretty good. I wonder what Spender's grinning about in the last panel?

I hope literally every single important spirit character gives a big dumb lecture on morality and justice and goodness. Every one so far has at least one line I really like. It's way more obvious in the comedy but Zack is just so generally good at putting words together into sentences I really enjoy.

Whoops, my bad. I read it as good possessing those things. My original point still stands - it is worded incredibly poorly and the guy is obviously not a writer. He admits that it was delayed to polish the writing, and in my opinion it could've used more of a delay. Sorry to short circuit the hugbox!! DIVERT POWER TO THE HUG GENERATORS!! WE NEED MORE HUGS!!

I'm sorry people generally disagree with your opinion and that this appears to be irritating your bizarre persecution complex. Oh no I have the odd opinion out?? This means that everyone else is just a big ol' pillowy circlejerk! For what it's worth I kind of agree with you that that panel is worded kind of poorly but I'm not going to go ahead and say that a single awkward word balloon makes someone a bad writer you vindictive weirdo.

It's pretty well written. Doing straightforward dialogue is actually really difficult, when you don't immediately have jokes to hide behind. I think Zack did a great job with this page. Forge sounds like a bit of a blowhard, which I think is part of the character. This isn't like, soapboxing author mouthpiece type stuff. I'm not sure how valid the opinion is of a dude who can't even read it correctly the first time. It seems vast hyperbole to call someone a bad writer for an awkward line delivered by an awkward character, to another awkward character.

You ever notice a large number of your posts seem to be some variation of "Oh sorry I have such a CONTROVERSIAL OPINION! Guess you nerds are too pathetic to handle me, heh." I mean I agree it's still a bit awkward but you've got a weirdo persecution complex that seeps into a lot of your posts and maybe you could, I dunno, not do that?

But my evidence isn't just limited to this strip, some of his other writing is wonky too. It's still an enjoyable comic, god drat. Get off my back.

Forge's monologue is pretty cumbersome and could probably be paced out a bit better. That said, the alt-text makes up for it. I'm willing to give it a pass, especially since it fits the character actually spouting this stuff. However: Darth Windu posted:Sorry to short circuit the hugbox!! DIVERT POWER TO THE HUG GENERATORS!! WE NEED MORE HUGS!! This is a bit much. I mean, really?

As far as I know, Zack Morrison isn't a goon and doesn't lurk this thread, so it kinda fails as a hugbox. It's safe to say here that Paranatural sucks if that's what you think. Zack Morrison? More like Hack Morrison, amiright? Thank you, try the fish. Anyway, I have no problem with today's page, other than it's late. But I'm easily entertained, and people need to be either horrible people or really, really bad at what they do for me to dislike their works.

I'm trying to work out if the third panel would sound better with "it is" instead of "it's". Maybe it's important that Forge is speaking somewhat informally?

Splicer posted:Then we find out Ed died offscreen like two comics ago. You joke, but I genuinely think Ed is headed for a death sometime in the greater plot arc of the story. There's a couple things that have been implied/suggested that's going to happen (Isaac leaving the Activity Club, what's up with Dmitri, what will finally convince Isabel to get her poo poo together) and Ed dying or otherwise leaving would be a fine catalyst for all of them. Plus he's not terribly well fleshed-out, even compared to the other comic relief characters.

Not if he comes back as a goofy ghost. But seriously, don't you freaking DARE talk about Ed dying. He is easily my favorite character, even though he hasn't been all that well developed. Everything we've seen of him has been gold.

Dmitri's just a chill and laid back enabler of Suzie, I'm not really sure where you're getting hints from him that Ed's going to die.

No, I'm suggesting that Ed dying/otherwise-getting-removed-from-the-plot would be a catalyst for Dmitri returning to the Activity Club. Also it's been heavily foreshadowed that he was the one who originally went nutso and left the club.

Ed isn't gonna die you dweebs. If anything I'm worried about the fact that Eightfold's book, AKA the thing her soul is stuck in, is currently tumbling towards the evil pixel dog-cats. If this page is correct, then spirits are made up of the same spectral energy that ghosts are, and spirits eat that Or the catdogs could just steal it I guess.

Darth Windu posted:The third panel sticks out as completely horrible. A lot of it reads very awkwardly. Dude's obviously not a writer, and the comic suffers for it sometimes, but it is particularly bad in this one. See this is why I can't take you seriously Windu, you try to pass yourself off as ~just a sincere critic~ but an actual critic would have something of more substance to say. You're criticizing but you don't actually say anything. And this is pretty much always the case with you! You don't criticize, you fly in to say "this is bad because it's awkward" and then helicopter away. Alright, cool story bro. So yeah, in light of this and your behavior in all other threads ever, Occam's Razor bids me assume you're just arguing in bad faith and trollin'
