Why did this turn out the way it did? Proto-onions writing with all the "be better" and moral grandstanding shit. Didn't realize it back then. Man.
>>153934483>Anon's jaded, irony-poisoned mind can't comprehend a story with a positive message.Tragic.
>>153934483Stepping over OP's personal gripes, I wanted to address another anon question about how this story developed but I couldn't find the page with Jordan's comment in time.Basically he fessed up that he just grew too attached to Petra.The sad thing is he didn't even need to kill his darlings or even shelve her entirely, look at the first Fist of the North Star movie.Kenshiro goes through harrowing ordeals in an already shitty situation, but it makes his unyielding efforts at righting injustices all the more admirable and the credits all the more poignant where he's wandering alone, following the phantom of Julia as the world heals.That could and should have been how Luther's story goes, have all the horrors of the others thrown on him in the news with shots of Petra from behind watching the TV as she works at a bar, rides in a taxi, etc, then have Luther drag himself back to her home, knock, end comic. Leave it ambiguous how she reacts after everything seen and said, or if she even lives there.I'm not against romance and happiness, but in this case handing it so reassuringly often to the reader actually made it less satisfying.
>>153934483I loved this.
>>153934483Justin Jordan stinks.
It's American.What were you expecting?

>>153935831Lol, you are weak.
>>153934483i really like luther strode, however his girlfriend was fucking annoying.
>>153935567I never realized he looked like this. It's all starting to make sense now.
>>153935870He's like if Ross Scott was a basement molester.
>>153934483who?
>>153936043skinny kid called luther buys one of those get fit guides that used to be advertised in old comics. turns out they actually work and can turn you into a grappler baki character who can catch bullets in your muscles, but there's others like him that happily murder everyone and they want to get luther under their controlit's mostly carried by tradd moore's art and the amount of gore. with the success of invincible, i'm surprised it hasn't been picked up for a cartoon yet
>>153934483Sorry anon, I was kind of too distracted by the artstyle progressively turning people's muscles into some unholy mix of ballons, jelly and fucking play-doh to notice what happened to the plot.Like seriously, what's up with that?
>>153936146sounds pretty gay
>>153936201You'd have to ask Tradd himself, but what I could surmise is Tradd realized the secret to consistent but fluid action was to use the animation principle of working with designs made from shapes which stretch and squash more fittingly rather than an anatomically correct design that then has to break its rules on and off.
>>153934483Self-improvement is a genuine thing to strive forIt's when people use it to guilt trip you into doing what they personally want or as justification to ruin your life is when it's bs because they don't actually WANT you to be better
>>153936443self-improvement is masturbation
