Hey /co/, what do you think about current webcomic trends? I'm asking cause I notice for a key couple of popular webcomics a lot of people tend to be very critical when they go south (paranatural, homestuck, etc) so I want to see if that extends to webcomics more collectively.
What do you like? What do you not like? What do you wish there'd be more of, aesthetically and storywise?
What do you think are the biggest missteps webcomic authors fall into, and what do you wish they'd do instead?

>What do you think are the biggest missteps webcomic authors fall into
Poor planning.
That is, the worst thing most webcomics do is not have any clear idea of what they plan on doing, and are unable to modify their design once they set up some plans. Some comics are designed for weekly jokes, and trying to turn it into a plot-driven series frequently turns out terrible because they just think it is the same style writing. Similarly, some writers seem to want to make a plot-driven comic, but insist on making everything about weekly jokes and drawing everything out "just because that's what comics do." (generally referring either to other webcomics, or just cape comics)

Regularity and planning. Hiatuses, irregular updates and a story that is obviously being written with no forward thinking are surefire ways to tank popularity.

Why is Clarence getting cancelled? Does it have to do with the sexual allegations made towards the creator back in 2014 during season 1?

Nobody likes Clarence.
Only people who like Clarence are pink autistic blobs who live in a shithole like Jersey and play Minecraft.

There was a four year long period where there were three TV shows on the air, all using the same art style and similar concepts. Two of them are still going, one of them is on it's eighteenth year and the other it's twelveth, the longer one technically came back from cancellation twice. The least successful of the three still lasted four seasons and characters created for it are still being used for other projects. It's unclear if the most successful of the three is actually ordered season by season or if there is just a steady stream of episodes given arbitrary season numbers because the producers know it's reliable for ratings, the weird production codes that fall into a season would imply the latter.
These are facts.

Why is it being called live action and not just CGI? Are there even any humans in this rendition? Or are all the animals taking human forms?
>>
>>91375724
Because this live action shit prints money
>>
>>91375724
The CGI in The Jungle Book was great and the stampede scene reminded me a lot of The Lion King. It'll never replace the original, but I'm excited anyway.

>Definitive Runs
Name a team/character and their definitive run, that run that perfectly encapsulates the essence of the team/character. If some guy on the street asked you to sum up a team/character as succinctly as possible, you'd hand them this run and they'd be all set.
for example:
>Claremont's X-Men
>Miller's Daredevil
>Loeb's Batman

Agree with this. While most of their creations evolved into something quite different, FF has always tried to hold on to that 60s mentality.

Aku's probably the kind of guy who orders a few minutes before closing time.
>>
>>91374516
why do you think he was laughing to himself while the phone was ringing?
Surely I can't be the only one who thinks this cartoon was complete garbage right from the beginning? Since the first episode in 2001, the premise has been "saving the world by going back to the past", but it never fucking works. Just as soon as Jack tries to end Aku for good, he gets instantly japed as he transforms into a bat and flies away and before you know it the status quo remains unchanged.
The only way to appreciate Smurai Jack is by turning your brain off. When you break the episodes down into chunks, and get used to Jack always slaying robots, I will admit that there is an element of fun to be had. But the payoff for every adventure is just fucking garbage, because the show keeps forcing Jack to use a time portal to go back to the past and then take it away from him just as soon as he gets close. What's the fucking point, seriously?
Also, the new season is stupid as fuck. It's like they were trying to combine the concept of struggle for survival and moral conflict into one arc, but it's utterly pointless when Jack forgets his purpose before he can even kill all the daughters of Aku and even have a potential sidekick shoehorned in.
Samurai Jack is perfectly constructed to create and maintain one rigid status quo from start to finish. Fighting robots, getting his ass hunted down by Aku's minions and getting into other hijinks with one or two recurring characters. Jack is then immediately punished for trying to end evil once and for all and being constantly denied from using any time portal until the next episode comes.
Steven Universe is and always was better.
