Either of those assholes is more literarily interesting than this entire webcomic.

More the former in this example as the latter is known to the reader to have both done some unnamed mental damage to his wife and abused the rest of his family as well. Granted this current arc is going to deal with that and it's more than likely that the public is going to find out about Endeavors personal life in the near future which is going to make things very interesting for the current No. 1 ranked hero.

Bakugou was a bully and lovely brat but also made sure he stayed on the straight and narrow outside of that so he's closer to how Furnace should have been characterized and developed.

I'm just... really puzzled over the notch in the black transition bar. What's the point? If you really want to do white borders for real life and black borders for dreams, just move it up a centimeter.

Personally, I would have waited at least a week before starting a new mindscape arc, but I guess that's why I don't have a webcomic.

Whoops looks like somebody forgot to hit a story beat! Better just have them go back to sleep immediately after waking up. This is very fluid and the right thing to do after the natural end of the story arc.

With Bakugou and Endeavor, you have an author attempting to write characters for the sake of a story. In SFP, characters only seem to exist to serve as avatars for vague political opinions. It's really no different than the works of Ayn Rand or some lovely direct-to-video Evangelical Christian movie about a cynical atheist professor who learns to love God when she meets the right man.

So I want to focus on the "permission to cry" part. I think Milligan basically is saying that the only real way to be healthy is to be utterly driven by emotion and have acceptance and permission from a woman?

So basically he is the softest of us all.

Bakugou is also in a position where the author has admitted he made him way too lovely at the start (like, actively trying to drive vulnerable kids to suicide) and it made it too hard for a lot of people to tolerate him at all.

At this point, I'm not even mad. It's just a train wreck. I'm now more emotionally involved in my ticket queue at work than this story.

Okay, so the people being made of paper is because Allison has super strength. That's obvious and a decent anxiety dream, even though we've never really seen her have a problem regulating the lower bounds of her strength before. Them having mirrors for heads is hilariously self-centered, though.

Horikishi was also surprised that Bakugou was as popular as he was despite this.

What?

No seriously, where the gently caress is Clevin. Did the writer just forget he was supposed to have only run out on a quick trip to the store? So this whole sequence of mind poo poo, Alison's bleeding prompting Feral to fall asleep as well to check in on her, the resolution, and now this second nap all happened in the span of like ten minutes?

I look at each new page the same way I look at a firecracker that doesn't explode. Sure it wasn't going to be spectacular but it could have at least popped a little instead of just fizzle out.

Clevin will be the new villain for not agreeing to a poly relationship

Instead he's a non-entity that existed to be a guy Allison could intimidate in the early chapters. Then a confused mess of a character for Mary to kill at no consequence to anything since nobody learns anything except Allison who kind of agrees with Mary.

I think you'll find that Furnace blew himself up, despite Mary's efforts to save him.

This obviously means I am the best and most qualified person to create a satirical critique of them as a long form webcomic.

The baggage is leaving a gorge behind her haha.

I liked that panel better when I interpreted the luggage as a random surreal dream element but you're right, it's just totally bland imagery. That's not even how dreams work.

'Well, you see, Allison has never shown any difficulty touching other humans before with the correct amount of pressure and strength, but in the unrestrained throes of orgasm, when she's just totally wild and uninhabited, she would shear off Clevin's dick. This is a new and fascinating concept in the superhero genre, which totally hasn't done horrible and tasteless things like have Spiderman give someone cancer from his jizz before! I am sooo original.'

EDIT: I don't actually think this is going to happen but at this point I am just saying the most absurd poo poo I can because the actual comic is just a dissolved puddle of bland viewpoints and pasta.

I miss park philosophy so much compared to this and I can't wait for them to start the next chapter of bullshit that makes the mindscape look good in comparison.
