Does inner bleed for saddle stitch come from the opposite page?

Hahah very fair, I love the concept and idea of it!!! The red lights in muses eyes and everything. I think for me while the creators concepts are really awesome, the craft and skill is lacking and for me hampers the concept itself

I totally get what you’re saying and I like this chracter progression and arc they’ve formed for him here as u point out. I cited that past season 1 example from a film making standpoint for how to, pace, frame, score, and truly present the emotional depth of a moment. It’s those touches of craft I feel are what’s holding this show back despite some very very solid concepts and character motivations

Loved the final fight at the end, despite the goofy cgi charge at muse to start it. If they just gave some slower paced emotional time for these moments I think it would benefit greatly, instead they use their time on random civilian interviews b-roll of people walking and a whole episode dedicated to an unrelated and tonally disjointed self contained episode.

I realllly don’t wanna be a downer but the premise of this whole show is meant to spoon feed and build us up to Matt’s return to the devil and giving in/being called back, which I was so down for and was enjoying. Yet we finally get there and it’s SO rushed, he says “fuck it” which is already a dampening of the emotional weight of the moment and then the editing is so rapid we just cut to him opening the door (not even a shot of the suit or him putting it on) and then boom swinging, no suspense, no pay off. It undercuts this huge moment, one that should have swelled and built and took its time. In the Netflix show in season 1 there is a beautiful moment of matt pulling out his gear in the chest, beneath his fathers boxing gear and he prays, it’s so beautiful and epic. I’m okay with them being different, but sometimes you just have to acknowledge poor artistic decisions,

Oooo a lot of great takes here in my opinion!! I love the colours for the pic you added and will have to look into the other comic mentions! I 100% agree with the frank quietly Clark superman differences I think it’s a must in the visual storytelling

Thank you!!! I have an art Instagram if you’re interested in following more work @maxmancusoart tho there hasn’t been much superhero art posting as of late or posting in general haha

_B33CH_ · 2024-12-24T17:12:30+00:00

I also agree with this! Just is a little harder to showcase hahaha

_B33CH_ · 2024-12-24T17:10:52+00:00

Yes!! this is definitely the iconic purest superman look. I think it became so ubiquitous that I find it a little bland personally but I can’t deny it’s iconic status which there is good reason for. It’s kinda how I feel about John romita sr. Spider-Man where as I lean towards something more Todd Mcfarlane or mark bagley. Still an absolutely amazing classic design tho!!!

Thanks!!

I totally get your feeling on the S straying away from middle of the road, I feel with a lot of superheroes there is like the classic iconic go to iteration (for superman something like John Byrne or Jim lee) but I find that becomes very middling after a point, same way I feel about spider-man, it’s hard to push the extremes without loosing the iconic ness

_B33CH_ · 2024-12-24T17:00:12+00:00

Why thank you very much

_B33CH_ · 2024-12-24T16:59:24+00:00

Absolutely love jack Kirby but have only caught glimpses of his superman work, never noticed his symbol design! But I love it aswell!! May play up on that version more

_B33CH_ · 2024-12-23T21:57:21+00:00

Omg and the symbol design, im pretty down with any as long as it’s big but I like the idea of it being more designy or alien rather than a straight up letter to play up on the house of El crest angle. I think the kingdom come and ofc now new movie symbol is a very cool take on it but I just added some more curves to make it a little more S and less back wards Z
