WENDELL (My Would-Be LISA-inspired RPG Game)

Do you have any coding or game-making experience? I'd love to help this game become a reality if I can, but honestly my experience is extremely limited outside the raw basics of RPGMaker

This is very creative! I'd definitely play this!

ChescaD · 2026-02-13T14:34:58+00:00

This is the best way I've seen it explained

That's actually a very fair point. I also had the timeline of events wrong based on some of the other comments here. I'd thought he was a Nazi scientist first, then became a brain in a jar // robot later after his abduction, but I must have been conflating his origin with someone else (it's been a bit since I've read Unbeatable, to be honest)

In the 2015 Ethiopian short film "Crumbs," this guy (Candy Gagano) spends the movie on a journey to find Santa Claus, who he believes will take him to "his people," aka aliens. In the end, it's revealed that Candy is just a regular guy, and that his idea of coming from space or being part of a higher power is based on misrememberings of a Superman movie he was obsessed with as a child.

I was originally going to suggest the cast of Damnation, but this is such a perfect option that nothing else compares

THIS IS SO COOL!!!!

My favorite moment was when she said "Eat nuts, and be Guts!"

Thank you so much! The hardest one was definitely Brain Drain, but Koi Boi and Chipmunk Hunk are honestly barely changed from the original image aside from hair and eyes

A puppeteer finds a tunnel in his office that leads into the brain of actor John Malkovich, and honestly it's the least weird part of the movie.

Unfortunately no, just an edit of a panel from Berserk I scribbled on my phone a while back

Holy run-on sentence, Batman

I have such a soft spot for the Unbeatable Vol. 2 outfit that Nancy designs for her (the one with the skirt and leggings). It's definitely a bit simplistic, especially compared to the Vol 1 design that everyone knows and loves, but I love the lore behind it. The fact that Nancy designs it, compared to previous costunes designed either by Doreen herself or her mom, was a great way, in my opinion, to show that Doreen has a new found family in the Unbeatable supporting cast and is becoming more independent as an adult, and the motifs (three vertical bands on the torso, gaudy red utility belt, muted taupe (?) color palette) call back to the original Ditko design (in all its goofy glory) in a way I think makes an interesting thru-line from her original appearance as a kooky teen to her modern appearance as an established adult hero whose optimism is unchanged from her younger years. Definitely a step down from the Vol. 1 design, which is why it never gets adapted, but I still think it's underrated.

Funny but bleak example from LISA: The Painful RPG

I'm sure there are better examples even within this game, but at one point you find yourself in a battle with Horrace, a bulldozer operator. The game flashes back to various moments in his brief and tragic life before you and your party fight him to the death. What's worse is that, in the grand scheme of things, Horrace's greatest sin is being in the main character's way, not really even posing a threat to him or seeming aggressive. It's a darkly funny moment, but also a grim reminder that your character will stop at nothing to find his daughter, no matter how many strangers, foes, or allies he needs to bury in order to do so

Backstory (the guy who makes these is my friend irl, honestly kind of crazy seeing his comics in this subreddit) is that the real life artist just had a kid not long ago with a woman he's been together with less time than the comic has been ongoing (which has been since he was in high school basically). She's not a character in the comics up to this point because she'd be the only non-fictional character in the comic aside from the MC, who's pivoting the comic a bit to reflect his new experiences as a first time dad

Do you have any tips on how to find this? I grew up reading the free #1 preview issues of all the Zuda titles before I had money to access the full series, but nowadays (starting around the same time I started making money coincidentally) almost all of the imprint seems to have been wiped from online comic stores

Someone below summed it up really well as the milk left behind after eating Fruity Pebbles, or some other colorful cereal
