I don't care if it tumblr as long as it isn't too annoying. I'm just fucking happy a comic got adapted into a cartoon instead of a live action movie. I hope it's aimed at an older audience and does well financially.

To be fair a few people among millions doing that is enough to make people worried about their safety. Not that that person is normal but she's using a valid point, misinterpreting it and making it into a crazy crusade against anyone who disagrees.

She doesn't have a valid point. She's a stupid cunt. Women kill people too bro. Just last week my coworker's friend was shot by his ex who he tried to break up with but kept stalking him. And they have other ways to ruin your life. Men have plenty to be afraid of when dealing with a crazy woman.

>women have no right to be concerned because they can be shitty people too
>men should stfu because some of them are horrible people who stab women
You sound almost exactly like that dumb cunt, with a tiny bit less crazy. Both women and men can be shitty people and it manifests itself the most clearly when strong emotions are involved. On average a woman is far less of a physical threat, so of course men are more likely to physically threaten women. If you think that's not true you're an idiot. But that doesn't mean there's less shitty women, just that there are different ways they cause harm, often less visible. Threat of a shitty man is immediate while the threat of a shitty woman tends to be prolonged.
>>
>>93569009
You're being unreasonable, his point wasn't that one is more or less dangerous than the other, but that you start fearing a large portion of the population irrationally
Just because there are crazies doesn't rationalize her opinion or anyone fearing both genders, it's like when I was 7 and thanks to the news I became nervous whenever I saw a brown man with a backpack on the train
>>
>>93569009
Sometimes I dream of /co/ before tumblr and burst into tears upon waking to this broken timeline.
>>
>>93569114
And I did say that she's crazy, but that it's reasonable to complain that a certain type of crimes tend to happen more. Men have all the right to complain about having their lives ruined because some crazy bitch decided to accuse them of something but at the same time women have the right to be cautious around strangers in some situations because they feel threatened. I didn't say SHE has a valid point, I said that she took a point that is valid and then changed it to fit her own crazy world view.
>>93569139
Me too, and yet somehow I doubt you're making it any better with your presence. Being an edgy angsty 15 year old just to trigger tumblr is making this place far more shit than the people who would come here and then leave otherwise.

>Being an edgy angsty 15 year old just to trigger tumblr
Not sure when I did anything remotely like this, tumblr. You're the tumblr defending a tumblr cunt by pretending she has a valid point, tumblr.

Let's do a storytime. Because people some people have not read it, if your going to hate something you might as well read it.
>>
>>93569185
Calling people tumblr the second anything gender related comes up, which it does way too often for a board about comics and cartoons, is exactly an example of being an edgy 15 year old. Having no reading comprehension helps with the 15 year old part too.
>>
>>93569187
my opinion is just that it's okay and like most Noelle Stevenson stuff, it's pages don't flow well into each other. You can tell this was a webcomic first, not a graphic novel.

But i hate that the blond "prince charming" is the villian of the series. In this context thats just typical "the one that looks good is the bad one" trope.
And why are there >>93569213
>>93569222 modern things but in >>93569263
we see that its medievil.
Besides >>93569277 why does his lance shoot stuff if he uses that for a lance fight.
It really feels a little bit as if a 8 year old made that, which isnt bad in itself, but very random. Even in Adenture Time or Ritter Rost its was like a rule, here its more like "cant think of anyother thing than that"
>>
>>93569338
Okay this page is pretty cool. Then again it's hard to ruin an action sequence.
>>
>>93569357
Another problem with the writing is that you can tell it comes from Tumblr, from the silly nature of interactions, and the fact that this feels like a fanfiction to a story I never read,

Now let's introduce the main issue with Noelle's work, instant gratification, you know that thing you were worried about? Well don't worry about Danger or suspense I solved everything on one page and if I didn't, it is solved on the next one. I don't want to make people worried. It was the main reason I don't like Lumberjanes.

How is that funny? Most of them are either teenagers or mentally teenagers, and it's what all teenagers do.

How did this mediocre garbage secure a movie deal compared to webcomics like Kill 6 Billion Demons?
Is this another one of those cases where the creator is another Lena Dunham with wealthy connected parents?
>>
>>93569362
It's incredibly easy to ruin an action sequence, since most webcomic artists don't really have the paneling or artistic skill to portray it engagingly. Even good artists have problems with it.

>>93569433
>Is this another one of those cases where the creator is another Lena Dunham with wealthy connected parents?

I haven't read the comic in a while, but I think that changes later on, like I remember he became more sympatheticand it's revealed he had feelings for the Blackheart guy
>>
>>93569426
That they make comics about "anti tropes" but in the end use the most common tropes and booster their egos against their life.
Its just human and its like that they rebel against establishment but in the end they are establishment.

>>93569438
Then it's not an action sequence, it's a failed action sequence. I guess what I should've said that it's hard to ruin a page with mostly action on it drawn in a style that transfers movement well. The art is wonky but it does that well.

K6BD would be far too expensive to animate well and it's not safe for enough audiences.

>Kill 6 Billion Demons
KSBD is utter fucking insanity and would never see the light of day in Hollywood or any major animation studio unless some auteur took it under their wing. Getting movie deals is a combination of making enough of a splash to generate interest, putting yourself out there, and whomever is watching thinking it's worth enough of a go to actually bite. Nimona is weird, but it's more "quirky medieval adventures with a slight science twist" than "like something out of the Bhagavad Gita but intentionally more crazy." Not to mention it's got that nice marketable "indie woman author and Eisner win" thing going for it.

>>93569421
Good point.
It seems like she thinks in absolutes and order. So she tries to solve anything to be on track and dont forget something.
And i guess its like webcomics try to be more one-liner traditional, because it could suddenly ends. So she use what she trained or is used to.
>>
>>93569510
So why doesn't he ditch her or give her to the guards? She seems to be out of control and causing a lot of damage and has absolutely nothing going for her besides being quirky, which I wouldn't exactly call a virtue or a reason to keep her around. Annoying friend who constantly messes things up is very rarely a good thing, more often than not they're the worst and most annoying character in a series and this one isn't even his friend, she just tags along.

>>93569488
Well technically you probably could do it with a animated Disney movie budget and enough whipped South Koreans, but I get the point as it would be infinitely cheaper and faster to animate something that already looks like trash

>>93569663

It wouldn't even be that bad if it wasn't for that.

>It's medieval inspired!
As someone who happens to have studied a shitload of medieval art for the sake of emulating it
No, man, this ain't medieval. Berserk is medieval, that's heavily inspired by hieronymus bosch. Those elric comics are medieval, moebius is medieval, they're byzantine as fuck. Samurai jack is medieval with the highly stylized and baroque posing.
Fucking megg mogg and owl is more medieval than this because those at least capture some of the goofy nature of medieval people trying to draw things with no good frame of reference for them, mogg is practically one of those medievsl cats that look hilariously off model.
This shit is neo nordic at best. And even then it's a crummy aping of superficial stylings since it doesn't even have the iconic patterning.

>>93570028
...wait, I thought the characters spoke in english accents according to her. Or am I thinking of someone else? Or only Sharts?
I really hate how Tumblr is laid out so I'm never up to date on more and shit.

I worked with an erotic production to make them a booth for a convention.
There was a prize show too.
And even without covering it up, they talked that some actresses or films have to win, because they donated or bought enough from them. And they know xy. Otherwise they wont book this much ads space or pay big fees.
Its not clear "i have to win" but they clearly have connections or financial pressure and are open to use it.
Why shouldnt comics be different. And here always "presentation" or "signaling" swing by nominations.

I would not be surprised is the thing. Comic Alliance pushed books to the moon if it could but never offered actual good criticism about how to make books better rather than "YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK." at least after the buyout before there was some good articles.

I read ahead, it's decent enough I guess. Can't see it doing well as a movie though.
>>

She has some self-awareness. I will say though one big problem is well, she doesn't know how to write ambiguity well.Wait till we get to the later half of the book
>>
>>93570429
Awards are mostly out if style now as a way to gauge quality. Back when there was no internet, your library only had what they had and you had to physically buy books they might have been useful but you can read millions of comics online or at least stare at the pictures if you can't read the language.
No one cares about it besides mostly dickwavers because the awards game has always been corrupt
>>
>>93570563
now we get to THAT CHARACTER.
>>
>>93562887
That's not a hat? What the fuck
>>
>>
>>93570586
you know what I hate in fiction that I used to love?
>>
>>93568922
The chick is some kind of villain forced the black haired dude who is a super villain to take her in as his minion, only its quite obvious that the word is screwed up and that the super villain is actually trying to dismantle the establishment that is actively screwing its people by doing things like robbing a bank and just giving the money to people.
The chick is like confused as hell and is trying to make him a real villain. The blond guy is a beloved hero who is defending the establishment and is a dick who betrayed the black haired guy when both were training to be heroes together and more so follows the establishment because hes naive and thinks its good and to protect his own position in society.
>>
>>93570613
It's a character who is basically I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE. this Character is important and I can't help....but cringe when they show up
>>
>>93570608
It seems decent, but not particularly fascinating. Good to read in a webcomic format where you read a page every few days and then forget about it.
>>
Nimonas not that bad on a tumblr scale.
it does get a bit bluntly tumblr by the end.
Her other work is much worse though
>>
>>93570684
by the way remember when I said this was 254 pages well there was also the extra content....I'm already into too deep.
>>
>>93560931
As a webcomic it's okay more or less - best thing I can say about it is that the author knew how to pace it right and it actually had an end. The story is forgettable but okay but the art is awful and there's like zero world building.
As a movie it could be pretty cool though - American animated movie stories tends to be pretty bland and Nimona's story would stand out as somewhat more interesting than the norm. Plus having a professional hollywood art crew might actually make it look good.
>>
>>93570475
>at least after the buyout
What buyout?
>>93570553
Good point
>>
>>93570746
Comics Alliance was bought by Screen Crush which killed the content in a lot of ways.
>>
>>93570764
it was already not in good shape, because while I don't like her that much Laura Hudson was a great editor and got some damn good stuff on there.
>>
>>93570797
man, does this character get her just desserts or ever become less unlikable? what's the deal?
>>
>>93570248
>>93570236
at least the old
>you got a arrow to your knee, you are dead
gag
>>
>>93570809
I was going to say that this is childish and unrealistic, but I know people who act somewhat similar though less violent. But I agree, I fail to see anything likeable about her.
>>
>>93570832
>>93570809
Let me put it this way she is really the true villain of the story but the author bless her heart, tries to go back on that a little because of one aspect I will talk about later.
>>
>>93560931
Why is a shapeshifter choosing to look like *that*?
>>
>>93570885
People have different tastes.Some people just have a bad taste.
>>
>>93570764
>>93570779
buyouts are always tricky, if its bought for a self motivated reason, it mostly will go to shit.
Only if its "fun thing that makes money", it will turn out alrighht.
>>
>>93570905
also we are halfway there.

Heh, one of the first webcomics that I ever read and finished. Loved it for what it is; didn't mind the Quentin Blake-wannabe art when the premise clearly tries to be so anachronistic.
>>93566249
I'd like to have Paranatural faithfully adapted - one episode encompassing one chapter - had its story structure been so steady and solid all the way like its first 3 chapters...but alas.
Chapter 4 and beyond really needs to get heavily rehauled for this to work, at least to keep the suspense going for, say, a 25-ish episode miniseries. Limit the subplots viable for each chapter, something like that. Gotta say goodbye to the blatant anime shoutouts though (because Japanese copyright laws).I'm thinking of writing a "So You Wanna Adapt Paranatural for TV" consideration / rough outline thing from this, maybe have it circulate online and gain people's interest, because I'm a mad loon. Helps flex my writing muscles too.

Still trying to know how Fox saw this and thought "yeah it will make money". Lumberjanes is the same lowkey stuff. Needs a good rewrite and even then they could just start their own IP.
>>
>>93571055
No, they should follow their own demands that people should not be told what to like or forced things they don't like because of the creators values. That's what they claim they want yet they turn it around and do the same. What they create is not the issue, it's that they demand everyone follows their values, and only theirs. Which in turn makes people attack their comics and art.
>>
>>93570990
>>93571096
>>93571105
We never find out what her deal is. So the reveal comes off as more "huh?" than actually anything big or important. We don't even really know what the importance or what it really says about the character.
>>
>>93571055
Yep. would be better for them and they would feel more happiness without lying to themselves, limiting their own
>>
>>93571116
You really need to read Alex De Campi's twitter it's like everything I hate about the current comic discourse.
>>
>>93571108
Exactly, its bland and safe and non threating, its bound to make some money, not much, but some.

It's fine but we never see the bigger picture or how it connect with Nimona, so to me it comes off as it was not really thought through.
>>
>>93571108
>>93571162
There was so much heat on Stevenson and Nimona that it not getting optioned would've been far more baffling.
Options happen all the time. They're often used for no other reason than to keep other studios from mining potential comic properties. And they're given at all levels of comics. To no-name indies you'll never hear of to titles you can't seem to escape.
Far more interesting to me is that they fast-tracked this and skipped development hell entirely. As far as page to screen transitions go for animated projects, this is one of the shortest by far in the US. Someone really believes in this property.

Nimona has a lot of issues, but hair dye existing isn't one of them. Hell, hair dye has existed since antiquity anyway.
>>
>>93568677
The saying 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned' isn't meant to imply that women are violent, but that they're so petty and manipulative they'll ruin your life over minor bullshit.

oh no Nimona is dead!
>>93571296
oh, shes ok.
>>93569421
>>
>>93570518
Have you ever considered it's a joke about the character being a sore looser at monopoly?
>>
>>93571240
Might be because it started as webcomics.
Dont know, many series does this too. Some better some not.
Games of Thrones does this frombook to book too.
Besides i think that Nimona is a dragon that tries to be a human.
>>
>>93571282
Dang, wont touchthat.
I dont like people padding their back constantly and talk like they are above others.
If they fight for their idea or believe ok, but if this goes "You ar wrong because im right", that triggers me.

No, because that would be the last panel and inbetween she would discuss or try to negotiate.

So glad we're so enlightened and unhypocritical. Not like them.

The best way I can put this is "Lawful Good paladin posing as a villain to take out a corrupt government now has to deal with a chaotic neutral minmaxed homebrew classed character in their party"
Any other fa/tg/uys see it?

>paladin
>posing as a villain
Then he's not a paladin
>>
>>93571544

I can see that so much. Man now I can see the Villain as the the lost plot point the dm tried to get in but lost because the min-maxer became the focus.

What's a paladin?

>>93571544
Maybe closer to LN paladin rather than LG, but yeah, I see it
>>
>>93568677
It's funny how whiny she is about everything related to her work even though she has only experienced success.
>>
>>93571436
sounds as if she is caught up in her believe that everything is an attack to her.
So she going with arguments and points cant be really countered but without being helpfull to the discussions.
Like some pull "thats something hitler would do"
>>
>>93571519
Who said that anywhere?
>>
>>93571620
>>93571632
she has some good points every now and than but acts like Alan Moore but she lack all the classic graphic novels that would make her a big name. I think her biggest work is Archie vs Predator.
>>
>>93571519
>Just like wot /co/ does.
You know that /co/ is more than 2 people?
That i dont approve all things other anons on /co/ say or do?
Because what the other anon wrote was so baity and vague that i couldnt reply other than cynical.
We all know that some /co/ are hypocritits or sometimes angry. But all this "we /co/" is just ridiculous and too easy

I'm happy about the news. I teach a 6th grade catch-up class for readers who come into middle school under grade level and I picked up a whole bunch of YA shit at my LCS.

>>
>>93571795

Kinda is. I like the story, can dig the art in the newer pages. But it also is very generic.
Her storytelling and pacing isnt that bad, like another anon mentioned.
Guess we are critcising here on a high level.
Its not on a hellcat level, its a little bit generic but not bad. There are not so much rememberable moments besides the "love" of blackheart and goldenloin and Nimona turning into a beast.

Young Adult. Which is starting to become more and more of a way to say this is the line you cross where your teen characters start murdering and banging it out these days.
>>
>>93572100
Damn, cant unsee now.
Guess artistic evolution?
Or some design flaw coming with drawing Nimona more detailed and so all have to grow zo keep Nimona short?
Or to have a stronger arocratic appeal to her?
As seen in these pages sometimes the director is drawn wit a long neck.

I thought the comic was pretty decent. I like weird, anachronistic fantasy settings where this is technology but also dragons and shit, like The Adventure Zone.
