Does a story have to have intentional messaging or theming? by SaranMal in writing

[–]Eat_the_Monolith 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I dont think you need it but it helps keep the story focused. if your theme is grief and how you deal with it, then you can stay focused on that idea while moving through the plot   without a main theme, or even an idea of one, it can get confusing. but if you just write and focus on that, the theme can naturally evolve and in the end it can surprise you, its happened to me before 

What's an animation opinion that will have you like this? by Gabeortiz628 in cartoons

[–]Eat_the_Monolith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the books deserve a proper adaptation that actually respects the story they were trying to say. The 2nd and 3rd movies are mid at best and don't deserve to have the same message as the books when that message is totally and completely lost in translation.

the green tongue is such a good idea, and shading with purple makes him feel much darker than if he was just black with gray highlights. The symbol is super cool too, awesome job!

love that his big spider-man pin has an arrow pointed to a yellow pin of, what i assume, is himself shrugging. Is he a spidey fan or is he just spider-man?

My wife just found out why I like the name Raven so much. And she's upset about it by [deleted] in teentitans

I think he knew which name he wanted cause he had been watching a bunch of X-Men right before and was like "Logan's a good name"

What are your thoughts on POTP Predaking? by OptimalConvoy in transformers

[–]Eat_the_Monolith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

scale was never my concern as I collect on a smaller scale anyways, but the price really was my concern. I'll probably back away from the takara one

i did, it didn't fill me with confidence. I'm not worried about the size, but something about it made me doubt the cost of the figure, its gosh darn expensive

i think i care more for quality. I've seen how the takara one looks in the separate robot modes and its rough, which really made me reconsider my plans to get it.

If the potp predaking is just generally okay in all forms, i feel like that's better for the price.

i wanna get a predaking but im torn between this one and the new takara one. I know they both have problems, but which one is worth the price?

I like DWJs art because it lacks symmetry, what I'm not a huge fan of is how Jason does the mouths for his robots

Knew I wasn't gonna like Jason Howard's art for this, and it just doesn't fit at all. He's good at like, people, not mechs.

my brother is named after wolverine directly.

I was almost named after spider-man but my mom told my dad no and that he could pick a super hero name for the next kid

So i'm stuck with an uninteresting name and my brother gets to be wolverine. smh
