holy shit

this is just bad

like, really bad.

"Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing" bad

>>86726387
I think it's fine

>>86726244
The dialogue's annoying (it's always painful to see bad Shakespearean, even if it's being done on purpose), but I like Guyleaf's whole gimmick. Kind of reminds me of Eightfold, desu

Holy shit, why did Zack go full retard with this chapter.

This and Hitball should have been excised from this chapter, because this is ridiculous.

The pacing of the Hijack Story is completely fucked at this point.

Is it honestly because he thought the women needed more screen time exactly right now in the middle of an already horribly long story?

Can someone translate the Shakespearean, or give a summary

>>86726634
What, it's just modern English with some eths instead of s

Jesus this is fucking painful to read. Also if you're going to have the spectral talk like he's a Shakesperian character at least do the bare minimum and make his lines rhyme.

This is just lazy to the point of being offending.

>>86726475
It's really not.

>>86726634
It's just standard English with extra th at the end of the words, anon.

>>86726668
Granted, Shakespeare's plays weren't rhyming, but I doubt he went out of his way and wrote these in Iambic Pentameter, unless he did

>>86726718
That's why I said at the very least. He did use rhyming verse from time to time.

I mean it'd be great if Zack actually had him speaking in some kind of iambic, but we're talking about a guy who just posted a comic where about three quarters of the backgrounds are gradients.

I like this page visually. Other than that it's the same problems as the previous ones, it's out of place and brings nothing to the plot. Introducing the spirit is cool but it could wait after the Hijack plot is resolved, and that's the third or fourth page in a row where Zack just repeats the same thing over and over again.

>"Looks like Zarei's too gay to function, so good job! But don't you start going full gay just because Zarei's cool, because chances are that she and Spender are in deep shit."

I actually like that the spirit is just attatching 'eth' to the end of words. It makes him look more like a pompous nerd

>>86726634
ESL?

>>86726865
>It makes him look like a pompous nerd
When did we start talking about Zack?

>>86726668
I think the point is that he's NOT a Shakespearian character, but more like a neckbeard trying to act as one.

>>86726865
I like it as well.

>>86726865
>>86727128
That was my impression too. But hopefully it won't have too much screen time.

>>86726244
Alright, that last panel got me. I was ready to complain, but Zack caught me off guard this time.

>>86727192
I liked that panel as well but you know better than to not complain in a Paranatural thread.

Guytrap is an interesting enough character--literally some Shakespearean try-hard whose words of wisdom are conveyed through visual puns and comic relief.

That being said though, pacing has been terrible this chapter.....

>high ground

jesus christ zack

>>86728008
Did you miss the part about a big guy for you?

>>86726244
This is so boring.

>>86727699
Sure, an interesting character, they're all fun. Sure.

But the problem is with the inclusion of this aside in the chapter that already had a huge, rambling first act.

Did the chapter with Hitball, the chapter that's supposed to be suspenseful and tense, need a date scene?

>>86728334
Yeah yeah yeah yeah we get it. We all know the pacing is terrible and only getting worse.

>>86726244
So, date rape arrows?

That's, uh, useful, I guess.

At least now we have an explanation for how she managed to choose an outfit.

>>86728660
It was obvious, people that were arguing about it probably think Mr Guerra isn't a ghost.

I've been following this comic for so long that checking these threads is like muscle memory now.
Why can't I move on, despite the time taken for me to wait till the comic's centrepiece happens get more and more longer?
Why can't I move on, despite one of the characters being a glaring reminder of Zack's cultural research failure*?
Why can't I move on, when rabid fans are reducing this no-frills action adventure comic to some feel-good homoerotic emotion porn (and probably affect the canon too)?
Why can't I?

Nimona was a way more satisfactory read than this, despite the limited arc, simplistic Quentin Blake-sque art and ambiguous end.

*ABT LINE NO. 2: Zack should've never bring headscarves into this. I wouldn't have to involve myself into the nitpicking "HALAL OR HARAM?" debates and rushingly typing in quickly Googled information (I would've misled you anons or something even right about now). I can't believe I let what Zack did happened...now I know how Michael Jackson feels about the Thriller music video when he wrote the disclaimer in the beginning.

>"Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury Signifying nothing" bad

>mfw I remember that line
>was the first Shakespeare poem I ever learnt in secondary school

Honestly the poem didn't make me feel stuff, but it's not glaringly bad when read. But I'm no Anglophone literature expert, who am I to determine whether a prose is worthy or not.
