Close 2nd.

The Dancestors were the worst bit, imo.

I didn't have much issue with it, because John and Roxy were two of my favorite characters and they came out intact.
I liked the idea of being able to fix things in the timeline without fear of paradox, too.

The only thing I really mourn is the character development for Rose.

Of all the characters who didn't deserve to die, who deserved to die the least?

>>81812478
Spades Slick.
All the man wanted was to avenge his casino.

>>81812478
Fuck man, I dont know...
Midnight crew?
We watched SS gather up the felt and prepare to take on LE. We were made to root for him, it felt like he was the hero of the story

And then he just died

>>81812478
Equius and or Feferi.

Equius due to potential ass kicking, and the cop out of him NOT fighting Gamzee one on one, or at the very least redemption.

Feferi because literally, what the fuck did she do plot wise? I don't even remember.

shelby's a walking example of how connections are more important than actual skill.

Why does Hussie hate Karkat and (Vriska) so much

What the fuck is wrong with him

>>81812595
still being rused by caliborns anime? idiots, never doubt the huss

>>81812478
AR and Spades Slick are tied in my book

>>81812470

Rose's "character development" before the retcon was negative, anon. Same with Terezi. They needed Game Over to get good again.

Meanwhile Karkat, who DID have some character development, got shafted and replaced with lame weenie fake Karkat. And to top it off the pre retcon version of him was never seen again.

>>81812575
>Feferi because literally, what the fuck did she do plot wise? I don't even remember.
convinced the Horrorterrors to make dreambubbles

>>81812603
>>81812478
I'd kind of agree with mom and Dad.
They were killed off for essentially no reason, and the person who killed them faded into obscurity within the comic, to the point where he wasn't even considered a villain anymore.

At 900+ posts each 30 minutes we didnt even get a sticky, yet other shit had one that died at 1000 posts.
And this is how homestuck ended. Go to bed.

>>81812607
No.
Sollux, Aradia, and Vriska's fates are unclear.
Some people think they died in the black hole, some people think they didn't.
We don't get to fucking see because Act 7 doesn't explain anything.

>>81812607
He was half dead but then full alive because of erisol, but now he's ?? dead depending on if erisol is alive. But there might be 2 solluxes because of the retcon, one half dead and the other fully alive.

A character gaining negative attributes is good narrative development. It gives them an opportunity to shed their bad habits and become a better person.
That opportunity got dunked in the trash.

>>81812555

He did get to die pretty heroically while helping to defeat a Lord English at least.

Not that any of the other characters will ever know.

>>81812439

Oh, come on, that was a hilarious joke. The fact that the fandom took it SO seriously when it was obviously meant to be absurd and ridiculous was just a part of what made it funnier. It was obviously meant to be played for laughs more than anything else.

>>81812673
even though i think her art is fucking atrocious it's what made her popular and got her her career. i'm not surprised she stagnated.

>>81812550

Wait what? He had a Casino?

>>81812616
Karkat got fladerized and he realized he didn't know what to do with the character that wouldn't overshadow the Kids and Vriska's stuff
he hates (Vriska) because he realized that through all the character development she was going through that it stopped being the Vriska she loved, you know the one that couldn't do any wrong
and for some reason Vriska was a totally nice person during the meteor despite having no reason to be

>>81812420
Act 6 from start to finish was the worst thing to happen to the comic. Act 5 had so much energy to it by the end, he could have used that to really power through a final act without the need to introduce any new characters, minus the cherubs.
Instead the story came to a screeching halt in order to introduce new characters and start their story and development from the beginning. Since we already knew how the game worked, the focus was entirely devoted to their lives and relationships, which just. Absolutely. Dragged.
The initial part of the story (Acts 1-5) were good because the story was intermixed with the character's development; we learned along with the characters how the universe worked and how much more went into its workings than meets the eye.
Act 6 was all relationship shit and characters getting developed in weird, unsatisfying, and, worst of all, boring ways.

>>81812673
it's literally style over substance.

What kind of name is Shelby, anyway? Is it short for Shelbert?

>>81812699

>>81812639
The same dream bubbles Caliborn was hate fucking?

I can't remember the quote, but I remember Meenah getting pretty sick and tired of the dream bubble shit. Saw it as pointless. Especially considering how much wasted potential that was. Like literally, Terezi couldn't have mastered her powers with the help of the THOUSANDS of dead Seers/Terezi?

No? She had to have everyone she loved and cared get murdered and herself beaten up to figure it out?

Fuck I'm still mad.

>>81812420

Wow... her old art looks much better, what the fuck happened.

Man I read this a while ago and stopped but reading these threads is making me so sad.

I'm sorry you all had to have it end like this friends, there will be something else I'm sure of it.

>>81812714

Oh yeah and I thought the whole point was that The Felt and Midnight Crew were some rival gang that didnt like eachother. I really need to reread homestuck again.

>>81812674

Did you forget that pre-retcon Rose didn't stay dead? If there was any character development to be had for her there was nothing to prevent her from still having it. But there was none. Her changes were entirely pointless, she just became an alcoholic for no fucking reason and lost her sharp wit, and then once she was a sprite and not drunk anymore she was pretty much identical to the other Rose except with added Davesprite issues.

Oh god dammit Hussie screw up the ending, time to scrap the whole thing and start again.

I don't dislike SU's art style, but seeing so many artists appropriate right off the bat is fucking disgusting.
Play around with styles, create your own shit. Just don't ape the most current "popular" cartoon.
Even my drawings aren't that derivative and I've aped the shit out of Homestuck's style.

>>81812796
Getting fused into a cat (i.e. becoming a different character entirely) kinda interfered with any possible development.

I think the most annoying part was having five billion fucking characters. It would be amost impossible to have a satisfying character arc for any of them and the "plot" was always just weird random bullshit. I mean it was fine for being entertaining but people got so deep into the LORE and there was really almost zero there.

So that leaves you with the characters but when you have so fucking many how can you give a shit? Not only that, but a fuckton of multiple versions of each characters, people dying left and right but then coming right back or another version of them shows up. It's just hard to give a shit.

Dave and Dirk patched any awkwardness up
Jane and Jake? who are they?
Jade finished her arc since Cascade
Terezi got better because any of her problems were erased during the retcon because Vriska helped her get over them or something
Davesprite and Autoresponder got over their inadequacies when they were fused with a cat and a muscle guy
Karkat got over his problems when he started fucking Dave
and Vriska is Vriska, she has no problems you're thinking of (Vriska) and she's irrelevant

Good morning /hst/, here to offer a friendly reminder that Vriska has achieved immortality on-par with LE's.

I think Shinji said it best when he said "Hey, there is still some things unresolved here guys."

>>81812529
I just put it in my web browser, and it brought up the option to open it in skype instead. your mileage may vary.

My criteria for dropping Homestuck way back during the wait for Cascade was Terezi, Karkat, and WV being dead. All three of them made it to the end, even if Kark and Terezi got a boatload of retarded characterization and didn't reach their potential. Also Terezi wasn't shown in the new universe so for all we know she walked off the frog platform and died. But hey, I guess I can be somewhat happy with this.

>>81812854
Oh man it's just like the good old days.

>>81812654

Technically he did I suppose? I kinda like to view it as a similar ''victory'' that Porky achieved in the end of Mother 3. Porky technically was kinda immortal with his time travel nonsense but it made him age quickly and had to be part of some artificial spider machine that sustained his life but in the end he put himself in the ''Absolutely Safe Capsule'' before the 4 heroes can truly defeat him. The capsule of course lives up to his name as being immune to anything making Porky completely protected and safe from harm however once inside he could never get out so he was pretty much completely trapped forever inside. In the end Porky may have actually got what he wanted just like Dr Andonut said in the end.

Maybe Hussie was originally planning for her to be dead when he storyboarded the animation
but forgot to change later parts and only remembered to change it when they were on the platform, the art there was lesser than the rest

So I only started reading Homestuck about a month ago and now ive finished it. Why was there such a big change in tone and story? I actually really liked the whole game format.

Nepeta was sweet and cute.

AR was a fucking good person. On the meteor he rode to Earth on he sent John off of it on the one jetboard in order to save him, because he was a civilian. There's nothing to indicate AR expected to survive riding the meteor. He basically (thought he) sacrificed himself to save someone he didn't even know, and he was okay with that.

I just remember that impressing me a lot way back when I was first reading this, because I wasn't expecting something like that from such a silly little character.

>>81813105

I think it's unfair to try and nail HS to the wall with standard literary structure, but at the same time, it failed to live up to its own structure that it has practised for years, which did include a lot of those rules, e.g. unspoken plan rule.

>>81813211

Back in 2012 I still believed in the Huss. Homestuck was good! I didn't know how wrong things could possibly go. None of us did.

forgive me, for I have sinned, and I will sin again by reading Homestuck 2.0. It will be my penance

>>81813467
The main reason he never gave a shit before was because tso was small and no one gave a damn, but once Homestuck got popular then he had to avoid too much negative controversy lest it ruin his reputation; and apparently his storyboarded ending he would release in 4 years time). It's like a small YouTube channel versus a large production show on a network.

So, trans people want to be the other sex, right? And they do that by adopting stereotypical gender roles of the opposite sex. So why does dudeJade have a beard? Why go 90% of the way there and then not shave your man beard? Also how can you be a feminist fighting for womens rights, and defend trans*women who believe that being a woman means wearing dresses and lipstick? Tumblr is confusing.

2012 was when the comic went from a pretty big peak to a valley. In July we had Synchronize/Unite and Caliborn: Enter, which were hype as hell and basically everyone loved. Right after that, in August/September, the Kickstarter launched and we got the Meenah walkarounds. They were basically unnecessary and took fucking forever to make so the pacing slowed to a crawl for content that was received lukewarmly at best. Then after that, the beta kid shipping "drama" that was basically just jokes until that point becamse Real Drama, then we got tricksters and more feelings talk, and by then we're in 2013 and the comic is almost entirely an infodump with little actual events until Aranea blows everything up and the comic goes on hiatus for a year.

Not sure where exactly you came in, but the last few months of 2012 are the lowest point for the comic, and people got super jaded. The drama stuff and the trickster stuff is a major tone change, but isn't that bad on a reread because it's a fairly small blip. Reading it serially was fucking torture though. People like to exaggerate but the Kickstarter launch is definitely the start of a decline in quality.

>>81813663

...SOMEHOW, Hussie managed to craft a ending that was VERY unsatisfying and anticlimatic.

It provided closure in only the vaguest sense of the word, and left a SHITTON of unresolved chacter arcs, plot points and resolutions.

It's like he realized "oh shit i gotta end homestuck this year lmao", quickly came up with a half-assed ending, and outsourced all the art for getting it done as fast as possible.

oh wait that's probably exactly what he did.

SOMEHOW, he managed to come up with a ending that doesn't satisfy ANYONE. Not the shippers, not the plotfags, not the sj crowd, not tumblr, not thinly veiled /hsg/, nobody.

GOOD FUCKING JOB HUSSIE.

As someone who was not really that butthurt about the ending, this helps explain a lot of the butthurt to me, but saying there are rules to storytelling is a load of crap. No, there are guidelines for successful storytelling. And I get that telling Hussie is wrong is a sort of validation for your hurt expectations, but art is expression, there is no way to be wrong in your own expression. You can only say "Homestuck wasn't as good as I wanted it to be, here's why." And then you can try to write your own, better webcomic.
>Storytelling rules are not that subjective
But they are subjective :)

It was the trolls.

Everything went downhill steeply from the moment Hussie decided he absolutely had to introduce 12 one-dimensional color-coded copypaste jobs to an already-crowded four-protagonist story.
>b-but I've got all these super clever typing gimmicks I haven't used! I gotta do SOMETHING with 'em...
And then the smell of yaoi shippable DevArt OCs lured in the Tumblosphere and suddenly Hussie found himself obligated to churn out new, shallow, meaningless characters at an absurd rate to keep the 'tism bucks flowing, leaving no room for developing the rest of the cast. And so you get the ending you got, a stark contrast to Problem Sleuth, which never overburdened itself with the desires of genderspecial tweens and simply did whatever Hussie found the most amusing.

Rest in shit, Homestuck. You could have been something.

>The only thing I really mourn is the character development for Rose.
Uh? Except that development was not loss. That Rose became JasproseSprite.

goodnight 69 eri

I've reached the stage where I've let go of the anger about the ending. I'm just happy to have been on the ride at all. This must be what the fucking buddha felt like when he trumped that giant green penis.

I'm high and crying because of Dave ... baka..

No one? I loved the ending, I'm probably the only one in this thread. The only difference I can say between me and you guys is I was never really that invested in the character arcs. That's it! I think that's the only problem with the ending, the character arcs. And man that shit was so convoluted I really wonder if taking the time to wrap EVERY single THING up in a reasonable timeframe, was even possible. Don't talk shit about how much effort he put into it, I know you're mad but that's straight up disrespectful.

>>81814111
I almost feel like Hussie did it precisely because doing it the "right" way would have been to typical to him. Like, obviously he can write a fucking story. All the schmaltzy goodbye moments and happy times and wrappingup of lingering questions wasn't something he wanted to do, and knew people wouldn't be satisfied that his answers didn't match their expectations anyway. Or he did it for the irony. It's ironic he would build it up for 7 years and then just drop it like it's hot at the end.

>>81814099
Seven years for a punch line is some Strider levels of irony.

>>81814191
Personally I didn't mind the trolls. They added an aspect to the comic that was fun and added another meta level. I think it started going downhill when they introduced the second set of kids/trolls. That was unnecessary and almost none of them were enjoyable.

>>81814212
>Don't talk shit about how much effort he put into it
He literally paid someone else to draw it for him, dude.

Jesus Christ, what did it all matter?

The serpents imagery.

The little frog.

Sburb's existence in general.

Vriska and (Vriska).

All that character development, all of that nonsense, all of those signs and signifiers built up all for it to just shit the bed and give up.

RIP Homestuck.

You were supposed to be mythic.

But in the end, just like all the rest, you proved you were just a shitty webcomic.

Some people say that it's just complaining that Homestuck isn't a traditional story, but in truth there's more to it than that. Homestuck is a subversive/deconstructive story, and that has often resulted in fantastic, ground-breaking stories, but there's a trick to it.

Basically, deconstructive storytelling is about seeing what conventions a story can do without, and what you can do instead. The trick is that you still have to tell a good, satisfying story with what's left. It's not enough to just use unconventional tropes; you have to make them ~work~. It's like baking; if you don't do the cooking by the book, you could make something more delicious and unique than any recipe, but you could just end up with an unappetizing mess.

Besides, Homestuck's ending isn't all that unique. Plenty of stories have cryptic and subtle endings that don't explain things outright, or cliffhanger endings that cut off before showing what happened. The thing that makes them work (and has made Homestuck work in the past) is that they give you enough information to deduce what happened, or at least give some sort of framework for your guesses. For example, Cascade didn't state outright what The Tumor did, but the visuals and previous exposition gave us enough info to figure it out. In the ending, though, there are weird magical things happening that were never seen before, never explained, and have implications that we can barely begin to guess. It's visual storytelling without the story, style without substance. And that's why it's unsatisfying.
