Y'know, Supernerd, you could've just taken your crit like a man and used it to improve your comic. Instead, you threw a fit. That makes you look even worse in hindsight, and I suggest that you dry your tears and settle down. I'm going to defend my own crit, and then you're going to accept that your comic could use quite a bit of improvement and move on. I admit that I was a bit harsh, but you need to get a hold of yourself and fix what needs to be fixed, alright?
First of all, B.A.D. is supposed to a parody of any decent name for a bad team, okay? If you don’t like that, then I'm sure that you'll never like my comic. And fine, it’s not very original, but there’s a problem with your logic; you’re using it with a comic made to be illogical, as many comics are. Coga had recently been promoted in the first comic and already knew who he was working for, except that now he's allowed to actually go up against B.A.D. Agents.
Any "decent" name for a group of villains should be ORIGIONAL, not just an acronym of "bad." Second, you just admitted that your comic has an unorigional plot. So, add in a huge twist to make it interesting and you're fine! And I'm not talking about the "evil team," as that is also unorigional. Yes, your comic may be made to be illogical, but it still must have a plot that makes sense.
Okay, so he’s annoying; if you hate him, you’ll despise the other characters that I’ve thought up.
It's not that your character is annoying. It's that there's no point to it and you're not milking enough humor out of the fact that it's seriously peeving Coga.
Thanks, I guess… it’s not as if I’d rip everything from my own game.
He has manners now! Yes, he
can be taught! *hands over scholarship*
All right, where are the bigger problems? Just tell me that and I’ll try to fix them. If you mean things like “ya” and “’em” than those aren't grammatical errors, and I’m not exactly sure what to call them. Besides, your own spelling could use some work.
Well, if you go over the comics and read them from an outsider's view, you'll start to spot them fast. You've only got two comics, really... And "ya"
is a typo. The word is "Yeah." I fully dmit that my own spelling is not perfect, and I do tend to typo when I don't watch what I'm typing properly. That doesn't mean that I can't know what is and isn't proper grammar.
All right, fine, I’ll try adding balloon tails. And I don’t totally understand you here; what do you mean by “the text”? The font or the grammar?
I mean the actual wording, disregarding the grammar bit. It just became an issue that couldn't be placed anywhere else and needed adressing. And adding balloon tails? Excellent choice, my man!
Again, you’re using logic. Fine, I overlooked a lot of details that I should have been more careful about, I admit that. Still, logic isn’t exactly welcome in my comic.
Well, I admit that outside of the plot, and as long as it's part of a joke, I welcome illogic. In fact, the being Illogic is a good friend of mine. But at least if it's going to be illogical, make a point out of it, or a joke, or something. It helps immensely, trust me.
All right, so my “special effects” are extremely unimpressive, but I’m not focusing on them. Fine, I’ll try harder, but you’ll probably still despise them.
No! I hate stuff about this comic for a reason! If the special effects become fairly good, I won't complain. I don't just look at a comic, hate one thing and give it all a bad review. There's a method to the madness. And good for you, you admitted outright that there was a problem. Now that we've found the problem, we just need to fix it.
Actually, I’ve never watched Monty Python. And don’t worry; humor is one of the things I’m focusing on, but considering what you think of my comic I’m pretty sure you won’t like what I have in mind for basically every single episode to come.
Well, you've got a lot of room for better jokes, and it's okay to start out slow. You've never watched Monty Python before, so it's not stealing a joke. That bumps up that score a point. I didn't know that you haven't watched Python. All I'm saying is that the jokes could be better.
Now wait just a second there! That is not true, and I am paying attention to and appreciating my reviewers’ criticism! If you’re just pointing out my only quoting May’s Brother’s post in one of my posts a while ago, than that’s only because his post was the only one that commented on my overworld sprites so I decided to quote him; are you criticizing my for that?
If you're appreciating crit, why do I have to sit through your whining about mine? *sigh* Not only did you only quote May Brother's post, though, but you didn't say a word about the fact that there were four other posters there. You ignored them. That's not the style of a good author. A good author would take the time to reply to everyone, not just a select bunch. Oh, and while I'm on it, there's an "edit" button, you didn't need to double-post up there.
Fine, I accept that you think I’ve created an extremely sorry excuse for a comic but I would appreciate it if you accepted that I am trying to improve; if you expect any comic made by a beginner to be flawless than don’t read any. Of course I understand that you’re giving me criticism and I’m usually glad to get it, but I also easily notice that you’re insulting me while you’re at it. In short, I need to improve in my comic and you need to improve in you’re replies.
I don't expect a beginner's comic to be flawless, but- wait,
beginner's? Above, you said "in my first comic," making you not a beginner. Or did you make the other comic up for this arguement? And I'm not insulting you, I'm criticising your attitude as an author, which is pretty bad at this point as you're throwing a fit over a bad review instead of accepting it and moving on. Oh, and its "your replies," not "you're replies."
And mutten641, thanks. And no, Oblivion, that right there was not simply replying to the nicest post I could see, that was replying to the other post I received which happened to be a positive one.
Did I use that as an example at any point? No, I didn't. So leave it alone.
Once again, I'm sorry that I was a bit rough on you, but you do have a lot to improve. If you can improve what I pointed out above, though, this comic can be turned around into a good one. Ta-ta, enjoy the muffins. *leaves a tray of muffins on the counter and walks out of thread*
