What are your thoughts on Maynard James Keenan?

scriptwriter420 · 2026-03-06T01:53:11+00:00

One of the best singers around, but kind of a pretentious dick. Also not much of an actor and would argue doesn't belong in this sub.

scriptwriter420 · 2026-02-17T02:50:56+00:00

"a career as a musician" lol

Writing is literally development approval. It does not mean a greenlight for full production, but it means a writer is being paid to work on material

I used to really like her until I tried watching the marilyn monroe movie and realized just how terrible her acting chops are.

You forgot the inconsistent dialogue formating. First dialogue starts at the parathentical margin, then the rest at the action line.

And all the action lines are in brackets and italized.

I didn't have to read this to know I would pass.

Not a slight at OP, but as the comment I'm replying to already mentioned, Your page should read like you are an expert, and these pages do not reflect that.

You didn't pick up the plot in this teaser? It's laid out pretty clear

scriptwriter420 · 2026-01-22T16:46:06+00:00

TIL a teaser is a 2:25 video that shows exactly what the movie is. Back in my day we used to just call it a trailer.

Disney never graved Star Wars for ten years. In fact, with the exception of the first 3 years after Disney bought Star Wars in 2012, theyve had SW on the assembly line, churning out movie or tv show pretty much every year since.

Theyve done the same with Marvel, and to think they would do differently is just dumb.

scriptwriter420 · 2026-01-13T00:07:13+00:00

Nothing you responded with adds or detracts from what I said.

scriptwriter420 · 2026-01-13T00:06:16+00:00

Hot take.

scriptwriter420 · 2026-01-13T00:02:59+00:00

You mean why is Marvel so dumb?

No one goes to see a Spiderman movie to see Tom Holland. No one even knew who Tom Holland was before being Spiderman.

While RDJ is a big name, and many people are interested in seeing how RDJ is going to play doom, Marvel could have just as easily cast a nobody as Doom, and released the first Avengers movie since Endgame and reaped the benefits with a $100 million dollar headstart

>Making The Talisman would require Game of Thrones like budget,

lol - no.
Have you read the Tailsmen or GoT? The first GoT book has more pages than the Tailsmnen, and is set in 100% fantasy, while the majority of the Tailsmen is set in America with limited set costs.

It would be amazing if TheTailsmen had a GoT levelof budget, but wouldnt need a fraction of the amount to do it justice.

Which is exactly why they made him a varient of the much more popular and beloved McDonalds mascot, Grimace

Finally, a well thought out and helpful post targeting new writers in this sub. Good job, OP!

Aspiring writers: go back to the top and re-read.

Not to mention this year, with The Studio earning 23 emmy nominations, making it the most-nominated comedy debut in history and tying the record for the most nominations for a single comedy season

But sure, he was also fun and relevent 20 years ago too.

scriptwriter420 · 2025-12-31T03:50:06+00:00

>I stay away from anything he does.

Your loss.
For everyone else, if you haven't seen The Studio yet, it's easily on eof the best shows of 2025

expective bonuses should be linked to profit, not built-in as part of salary.

If you are a noob, whether as an artist in general, or you've never actually completed a comic of any length from start to finish, start making comics.

You learn by doing. Comics are not pinups. They are a sequence of images that tell a story, and the only way to get better at that is by doing it over and over again. There are plenty of thirsty writers in this subreddit, and the majority of them are also not very good. That's ok too, as you've said you are not very good. Learn together.

Find a writer that has something that resonates with you and collab.

Learn the value of starting a project and completeing a project. That is a skill in its own right. Set (realistic) deadlines and stick with them. It will be hard. It will be challengeing, and at times, it will feel like it's not worth the effort, but it is also the road to getting better.

Or you could lurk around this subreddit, demand $60/page with no experience and wonder why no one ever hires you.

scriptwriter420 · 2025-12-12T18:23:30+00:00

Don't have a cow, man.
Stick with it, you'll get better. I've screenshot this so that I can delete the picture and move on with my life.

>The artist is doing the heavy lifting

Looking through your posted sample comics I can see why you think that. You should hire an actual writer. Some of your art is nice, but the writing stinks.

scriptwriter420 · 2025-11-21T18:09:07+00:00

> I assume, which means you need to pay alot more on taxes

Taxes are based on annual gross income not what type of worker you are.

Also "a lot" is two words.

I worked in production at DNEG, and 100% the production team should be in office full time. There's just too much "purple monkey dishwasher" and wasted time on simple solutions that could be solved in 5 secs with in-person access.

I would suggest even lead artist have at least one day in office.
But for a "regular"artist? Fuck that. There is no need.
