the best part about the heroic rape storyline is that eventually orcs as a race and concept join team good guy, so what is introduced as a misogynistic culture becomes a proud and noble race, and it's only a single clan chief who just really loves child rape and everyone already hated him anyway. people already talked about it before but in terraciano's stories there's no such thing as exploitative or predatory systems, just bad faith actors in good or value-neutral systems. normally i'd be more forgiving since we're all taught growing up that the system cannot fail, only be failed regardless of our country of origin, but in the last ten years social awareness has been spreading yet as recently as star power his stories still follow that pattern

Think Mookie forgot that Snout had asymmetric features when he decided reusing mirrored panels was enough to make a whole new comic?

I sure do love how Snout never even questions whether he should still travel together with this stranger who could assault him at the drop of a hat and makes him feel unsafe. Just gonna sweep all that under the rug because she cries and feels sorry(?) about it.

TheHan posted:*Smashes this slop onto your tray* The third panel looks so bad. I'm just going to assume that the reason these poses look terrible is because he's tracing all of them.

Yeah you can tell he traced the 1st and second panel from the same pose, safe to say anything more complicated than standing or walking is getting traced. Snout's fully flat muzzle, xxxtra long torso and disgusting bulge are next level, dunno how you do that with tracing.

Also, where is he taking her? I'm guessing the correct answer is he's taking her with him on his epic journey, but that's also the worst answer. She may not have even existed before the whole cabin of spooky vines, she has no stake in his quest, hell she can barely communicate. So he really should be taking her back to town where she can get help, but I guess Mookie needs a broken bird who is difficult to deal with but also utterly dependent on his protagonist too show what a nice guy Snout is. And speaking of stakes, are there any? I've been following this thread on and off since near the beginning and I'm honestly clueless as too what the goals and motivations are too any of these characters other than Snout's passive "Curiosity".

Zereth posted:Arduak and Ink Witch are pursuing something. This is the funniest thing too me, Mookie keeps taking the camera away from the actually motivated characters and focusing on this bland bag of wet noodles. Like there is a reason why the whole "Hot blooded hero" is such a well used trope, we aren't part of this world, we feel what the characters feel. So without anyone in the party who is passionate about finding the legacy it becomes impossible to care about it ourselves. Say what you want about the Ink Witch (I love that she still doesn't have a name), she is at least motivated, has a goal beyond mild curiosity, and serious character flaws she needs too grow out of, even if they were unintentional. She would be a far more interesting protagonist, not necessarily a likeable one, but definitely more interesting. Honestly, I love how Mookie bungles even basic storytelling: He has his main character show interest in a thing. A mysterious women with questionable motivations who is tied to said thing shows up to stoke his sense of adventure. Then his quaint little peasant village explodes destroying his ties to his old life. This is a perfectly fine setup for a JRPG, good job. So does he follow this up with them getting to know each other, working together and sharing why they are on this adventure while on a perilous quest to find some Macguffins? Nope! Said women gets beamed out of the story and Snout shrugs and lies down in the dirt like a loving cave troglodyte. And then it keeps up like this with characters just showing up and leaving without any time to get too know them, so it's basically impossible to care about any of this.

Having no foreknowledge outside this thread and vaguely recalling what DD was and thinking it was bad at the time after like five comics worth of reading, as far as I can tell the Legacy of Dominic Deegan is literally just abuse and rape and jerking it to that. In that way the comic is enormously successful at getting its point across.

The idea of a story being about a person dealing with a protagonist/antagonist actually going ahead with their legendary story and them dealing with it can be good, see Big Trouble in Little China. This ain't Big Trouble in Little China.

This beat is common in a lot of visual media; it’s immediately comprehensible and makes you feel invested in the characters because you immediately sympathize with the experience. I mean, usually. In this context it makes me feel nothing because I want them to stare up into the sky until they drown like chickens, but, if this page were much earlier in the comic and the characters weren’t an abusive corpsedaughterwife and Snout, it would be mildly compelling.

Oh, I'm not sympathising, I'm talking entirely visuals. I like the way the last panel looks more specifically, and the contrast to the one immediately before it, it's a nice stylisation of rain that I'm not sure I've seen before but I am pretty sure it has been done before and very well. If we're lucky the river will rise and wash away Snout and all his sins.
