What I love most about these latest developments is that over the last chapter it started to feel like we were really unravelling many of the mysteries behind the scenes. Learning about Nightmare Knight's motivation for instance and how his creations rely on his power of fear to keep existing. There were still questions like the truth about the Dream Oracle's role in all this but we were starting to have a bit of a grasp on what was going on here. But the existence of Steve just throws absolutely everything off and we realize this is so much deeper than we knew.

The pain of the drain comes mainly from the plot. Fake Edit Oh God they're literal plot holes.

It looks to me like Steve and NK are part of the same person that got split somehow. I'm gonna guess Steve has all the actual evil. He's too friendly to not.

GAME OVER RETURN OF STEVE

Nightmare Knight has a hidden lower face, a broad upper body and tiny legs, and affects an air of intimidation while being unwilling to hurt people. Steve has a hidden upper face, a skinny body with big weird Gumby Legs, and is outwardly fiendly while possibly being a psycho. Checks out.

Steve could totally pull off the terrible popped collar that Nightmare Knight had in his earlier designs.

I was wondering who the antagonist was gonna be after all those plot developments. I think this page just answered that question.

Dr. Fetus posted:I was wondering who the antagonist was gonna be after all those plot developments. I think this page just answered that question. If you're making a movie about how the dragons attacking your village are just misunderstood and we can totally get along with them, you need to end it with a big action climax in which you totally kill the poo poo out of the actually evil dragon commanding them. Writing a twilight parody / zombie genre subversion in which the zombies retain human characteristics? Best include some zombier-zombies that the protagonists can dispatch as casually as zombies in a proper Romero flick. And obviously what Cucumber Quest needs is an actually malign version of the Nightmare Knight. Duh. Xander77 fucked around with this message at 07:00 on Apr 1, 2017 |

I like what Gigi did with his silhouette. The spikey bits seem to give him more of a dangerous feeling, without NK's hugely imposing shape. With the big guy, it feels like you have to pay attention to him. This is more a case of "It would be a really bad idea to take your eyes off of him.".

Xander77 posted:Yeah, an action plot needs an antagonist, that's just screenwriting 101. I understand where you're coming from, but I 'm willing to give the artist the benefit of the doubt here. I've had several concerns over how Gigi D.G. would handle certain situations in this comic. In particular: Rosemaster as a transgendered villain, Almond as a character who continually makes things worse for everybody, and most recently, Cucumber being magically made to crossdress. However, in each case things were handled remarkably tactfully and were quite well resolved. Rosemaster's identity is in no way conflated with her status as an antagonist. Almond is called out on her behavior, actually recognizes the extent to which she damaged things, resolves to do better, and repairs her relationship with her brother afterwards. Cucumber being made to crossdress is not only not treated as a joke--the characters don't even recognized that it could be a joke. Given all this, and the general trajectory of the comic, I extremely doubt the comic has introduced Steve simply as a prop for the heroes to remorselessly kill. Steve is an aspect of the Nightmare Knight that he has apparently cut from himself and then hidden in a hole. The problem he represents can't be resolved with sword.

The true conflict of CuQu will be that Steve... doesn't like baking.

They're sweet, but on the other hand Besty's literally Steve's puppet and their emotional dynamic is only a touch short of creepy.

"Most people make that mistake" he's just giving up all pretence of being a villain now, isn't he? I guess Steve is going to be the real antagonist

Suaimhneas posted:"Most people make that mistake" he's just giving up all pretence of being a villain now, isn't he? Don't forget Glitchmaster. Everything else aside though, the real source of conflict is this situation where NK doesn't want to hurt anyone but he has to scare the hell out of Dreamside or else his kids die. Come to think of it, Besty seems like the person most suited to resolving that; if he ever actually figures out how to scare people he can just immortalize NK in horror movies.
