I Okay Even if this was good That's got to be the most pretentious bit of praise you can do. It's so goddamn basic visual story telling and It's like praising someone for doing the most superficial poo poo

Crimpolioni posted:It is very visually interesting, isn't it? That's uh An interesting and not at all misogynistic take on the idea of an 'internal feminine' which I'm sure is fully represented in Jungian thought. Also yeah Alison physically abused someone for the greater good and is now going to mentally shatter someone's coping mechanisms, literally, for the greater good. She's Ozymandias if Watchmen were incredibly bad. (This comic is Watchmen if it were unbelievably bad)

Or it's meant in earnest by an imbecile who has never read anything actually good so they don't have points of reference for what visual genius should actually mean. Either or. I lean towards the latter because: Joe Slowboat posted:That's uh

Also she's prioritizing fixing Patrick (or 'fixing' Patrick, as it were) over actually getting the information she needs to help. Like, just because Feral's mindspace looks a certain way, Allison assumes Patrick's should, too? She doesn't know anything about what she's doing and legitimate concern over his deteriorating mental state aside, the whole problem is that she keeps swooping in on problems and 'fixing' them without concern for the actual nuances of the situation. Patrick doesn't need her smashing a wrecking ball into his coping mechanisms he needs... idk, probably a lot of poo poo Allison can't provide. Like poo poo this entire comic is just some white savior complex thing, isn't it? EDIT: Also the idea of Patrick coming from a place of absolute distrust bc of extreme betrayal in his childhood was interesting but making his mother literally a cartoon villain was not, and I'm saying this as someone who is more familiar than I want to be with the different forms childhood abuse can take.

in the next installment they should process feral into a sausage and patrick eats her so she regenerates to full size inside his rear end in a top hat, killing him horribly and really shining a light on the philosophical question of, are you born a hero or do you become one through your deeds

The tower is now a meaningless symbol despite having been the means by which Allison escaped to Feral's mind eight pages ago.

Emrikol posted:The tower is now a meaningless symbol despite having been the means by which Allison escaped to Feral's mind eight pages ago. Extremely good point. "Everything in here is an elaborate symbolic play of forces and signs, which together create Patrick's personality despite his brain being one of the weirdest possible things in the setting" "Nah symbols don't real, I know what's real and it's me punching things and Patrick's trauma not mattering. I'm a hero."

Nuns with Guns posted:I haven't seen anyone crow about this being a progressive darling, not in a long while at least. The comic ends of tumblr and twitter are waaay more into gay slice of life/romance, bio comics, UWU junk, and assorted fetish crap. Like, a token interracial lesbian couple as side characters is frankly insulting nowadays. The comic still ultimately revolves around the most boring white heterosexual couple possible. Enabled by the author's bubble the glacial pace of webcomics compared to the rapid development of the US political/cultural scene over the past 5 years has created an unintentional time capsule.

Yeah, it is figuratively and literally stuck in the Obama era, in both setting and the relative optimism. A better comic would try to contrast this with a time skip to present day, with the chaos and anxiety that entails.

Unlucky7 posted:Yeah, it is figuratively and literally stuck in the Obama era, in both setting and the relative optimism. I don't think it's even optimism - on some level the comic is much more pessimistic than it realizes, because the scope of its ambitions are extremely Obama- and Bush-era limited improvement. It's the scope of 'everything is blockaded by a calcified political elite and a reactionary opposition so we can only make small forward steps against that.' Trump is both a sign of vast danger and a sign that history isn't over and we can still do poo poo. This comic is about feeling like you just can't do poo poo because it's all pretty bad but not bad enough to justify burning it all down. As filtered through someone whose response is a fantasy of brutally seizing power over others and 'fixing things' without that ever coming back to haunt us. I mean, that's what Alison is now: A vaguely liberal id, who can ignore every real roadblock to what she wants and has a sort of warmed-over Nietzschean position of 'I have the power to enforce my ideals through brutality, but since they're right, that's ok.'

I don't think the comic's ever really addressed any actually relevant issues. It's sort of mentioned them in passing and dealt with ludicrous superhero junk that was loosely related to real issues, but it's never really given its own take on anything important. The Mary arc was probably the closest, but it still missed the mark on actually saying anything important. It's a comic that desperately wants to be relevant, but has no real desire to confront real-world issues, and it ran out of interesting original ideas after lovely philosophy student essay and harvesting wolverine. It doesn't even have anything interesting to say about superhero comics outside of the weakest "punching dudes isn't really useful in broader societal terms."

That's what the creators pretend to believe, but torturing a guy solves the organ donor crisis, murdering alleged rapists is implied to be an effective deterrence against rape as well as a net benefit to society, and now Allison has decided to save a man by literally destroying his mind.

Some kind of story where Alison does in fact go out and murder two million people, primarily chosen for malicious activities, and then the world and her just have to deal with the fact that the only consequence she faces is people being afraid of her, would at least be novel. Kid Miracleman stopped because someone was able to stop him. It seems that nobody could stop Alison.
