I'm probably changing the dialogue on this page, don't like how it reads. Juggernaut comes off as petulant which is hilarious but totally unintentional. I didn't really panel it well enough to make it clear he's not aware of what just happened instead of being aware and tsun as gently caress.

The earlier teacup 'I find it hilarious' line was supposed to read 'I find it fascinating' but I finished the page at 2am and my brain pulls funny tricks. I left it in because it still reads ok

Oh, the network slogan is true -- "watch FOX and be damned for all eternity!"

drat IT. Tsundere Juggs was hilarious. (And slightly interesting -- I want to see how they were created, some day.)

Yeah I think you could scrub the face referencing lines entirely and change nothing else and it will still work, the font change in the previous page works well enough on its own.

Reads OK to me I got the impression Juggs was weakened and didn't want to risk further confrontation either and the parting shot was an empty threat attempting intimidation.

Nice twists with this little cameo of Juggs, Maya and the pursuers.

I'm probably going to catch flak for saying this but I do think changing it back to "fascinating" would be an improvement, especially if you want to make Juggernaut seem less sulky.

Not that I don't love tsundy Juggy.

"Hilarious" was good but I can definitely see how the most recent page pushed Juggs a bit too far into the teen-tsundere category.

Hilarious and Fascinating imply very different things about Juggs's character, but I do like hilarious.

I'd probably think it's best to defer to the author on this since they know their plans for the character in the future and can judge what actually fits best

"Hilarious" implies outright contempt for humans, "fascinating" implies that he doesn't get humans at all. Go with whichever you think matches where he (or she? who knows) is gonna wind up in the story, Operant.

Looking at the updated version of the page Jugg's new line is just fine, but I'd have preferred Maya reacting to what she saw. Perhaps saying "Your fa-" and then getting cut off by Juggernaut, who doesn't acknowledge it at all.

I'm glad of the change. While rolling over and showing her emotional underbelly to the heroine made sense for Mottom, it makes a bit less sense for an immortal zealot of white fire, embarked on an omnicidal quest for unknown ages. IMO the original verson diminished 6 Juggernaut as an antagonist.

It's quite possible Maya doesn't know or doesn't understand what fleeting glimpse she saw, and is probably cautious enough not to bring attention to it until she does.

Was a huge fan of the original so now I'm sad. I thought it was perfect that 6 juggs turned out to be all bluster, and the paniced exit trying to mask vulnerability was great.

It's really too late for 6 Juggs to be all bluster, though. This is the same character who earlier beat someone to death with a wheel and later cuisinarted a room of rowdy fight folks.

Regardless of how much they're acting to mask their vulnerability, when your kill count is that long it doesn't count as "bluster" anymore.

Yeah, if the line is "fascinating" instead of "hilarious" you lose the part where Juggernaut Star has just mocked humans for possessing a trait he hasn't figured out also applies to himself.

"I find it hilarious" is, to me, Juggy at his best. You get to see a bit of his contempt, his utter scorn, and the irony of not realizing he shares many of those traits. It sets him up as more than a monster, even if he doesn't realize it yet himself.

Agreed. Hilarious has a level of condescension that really adds something to the exchange. It was a super good change.

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that
"Hilarious" is definitely the better option. You should do more dialog at 2am Op.

I do like the new page better though. It's slightly more show-don't-tell. Also part of what I like about this comic is it's essentially a shonen battle manga but it passed over all the dumb anime cliches and goes it's own way. Tsundere is a dumb character trait even if it was consistent with Jugg's character somehow.

e: Also the excuse that he needs to catch up to his target makes more sense on why he'd avoid wasting time on another fight, even if that's just a cover. The previous one felt kind of forced.

I think the edit is better, but the original did not strike me as Tsundere as some people found it beeeecause:

But it did seem like ol' pal 6 star was worried about her moment of vulnerability. This new edit feels like it carries on the tiredness, with Juggernaut finding an excuse to leave on a barb.
