Hey everyone, generic lurker here. Finally decided to join your ranks, mainly thanks to ZuljinRaynor. I've been following this thread since its beginning and it's really amazing to see what this comic has become over the course of time, from 'lol, what the hell is this' to 'hot drat, wonder what's gonna happen next?!'. Amazing work there Lazerbot! Even though I too also believe that this last fight might have dragged on for too long, it doesn't really bother me that much. It's still filled with lots of funny and 'oh snap' moments that makes this comic unique and appealing in its own way. Thank you Lazerbot for blessing us with this holy comic and making us smile. Oh and, I'll leave here these 2 images that I made, hope you'll like them:

The fight mainly sucks because Garry's actually pretty entertaining but Demaro's basically a 14-year-old's "badass" character and he pretty much pulls a new use for his powers out of his rear end every other page to counter everything Garry can do. He's just boring in the same way the Troll King is boring.

Really, I'm just looking forward to whenever Coyote inevitably gets involved in this, since he's already been stated to be more powerful than Demaro, IIRC.

I too am awaiting Coyote's return to the script. And on the subject of spending ONLY 5BUX on an image, I feel like my avatar is poking fun at all the Gunnerkrigg Coyotes infesting every thread. WELP I'm holding out for LazyB to get back to his main plot. Hopefully before the world ends this December.

I'm honestly enjoying this. I really do think the main reason people aren't happy is just because fights aren't well suited for a page a day format. If you could just sit down and read this entire fight from start to finish, it would probably not seem to drag nearly as much. To me it's still enjoyable because I honestly can't tell who is going to win, but the back and forths seem relatively reasonable.

Personally I don't mind the fight, but I hope it will have some implications to the rest of the story rather than just this fight between brothers.

I think I actually said "woahhh" when Garry raised the Earth's loving God drat molten core into that little room to gently caress with Demaro. I mean, seriously people, just think about that. He was pushing rocks, from the middle of the loving planet, into this little room.

But these brothers are a facet of the story. They're tied into the same events that created the "main" characters. I like this fight: people say that Demaro keeps gaining more bullshit powers just like the troll king, but it's actually entirely different. If anything, Garry's the one with "bullshit" powers on tap (Oh I suddenly have an android, oh he's suddenly bees(?), oh all these bees can actually group together to form a laser - and a flamethrower. My mask has hinges despite each bit being an individual bee. I can meld with the real me.) Demaro has his strings. Vines. Everything that's happened has been a product of these two, and Lazerbot has been very creative in doing new things with just these two powers. In fact, he even restricted Demaro's previous power: summoning the beast here did pretty much gently caress all and then got sent back. I don't understand how people have this so back to front. p.s. Don't get me wrong, the fact that Garry's so over the top is great, and where the innovation in Demaro is shown through doing more with less, Garry's a much crazier and more entertaining character, and "what crazy poo poo can I come up with" is still interesting. It's hardly "OH HO ONCE AGAIN I AM TOO TOUGH FOR YOU MARIO".

I'm actually kind of finding these fits that are being thrown about the fights hilarious. Tails Gets Trolled is very obviously heavily inspired by shounen anime, and pretty much everything we've been seeing lately has been build up for more and more intense fight scenes as the plot heads towards its climax. Why do these people think Tails has been learning all of these crazy combat moves? This isn't going to be the last month long fight scene that lasts for dozens of pages, surely. And I'm totally cool with that. There are plenty of great moments peppered into these fights that totally fit into the TGT style. Maybe not the Mario vs. Troll King fight though. I totally glazed over on that one.

The trouble is the fight is between a couple of original characters who I don't give one poo poo about. If it was Tails, or Wile. E, it would be much more enjoyable.

Daionus the 23rd posted:The saving grace of that fight was the flashback featuring Kario. That's what this fight also needed, in my opinion, some sort of flashback or an intermission ("MEAN WHILE"), going back to the story, or at least deviating from the fight, for a short time.

Yeah, that's what makes the fight stand out so much. The rest of the story is so neatly broken up and never dwindles on a set of characters for too long before moving to the next, saving it from Homestuck Syndrome where you don't see particular characters for months at a time and the last time you saw them they were in mortal peril. The "mean while"s are almost iconic to the TGT experience. But when the fights happen in TGT the story shifts its focus completely onto them, never moving away. It's still funny and I have no complaints about it, but it just stands out a lot. A flashback showing the two brothers in their childhood and maybe showing us what made Garry turn to trollism, or having another fight running concurrently to this one that the narrative could jump back and forth between, would help make it seem less odd. At this point, though, keep it comin'! I find it funny how the chapter title page will likely have nothing to do with the actual chapter, given how the fight is growing longer.

The thing about the Demaro vs. Garry fight is that I think the winner will determine the direction of the Trolls. Tails, Shadow, and the Troll Hunters are all out to beat the Troll King, without realizing there's a kind of battle waging behind that throne. If Garry wins, it will be the Trolls unlocking the full potential of Dr. Robotnik without Sonic to counter him, which means it will be hell on the protagonists. We've already seen what the cyborg Troll King can do as well as Garry and his Android Garry. Imagine full cyborg versions of TK and Garry, with an army of Android Garrys. In short, Garry becomes the technological threat to them. If Demaro wins and kills Elmer, his power could increase to the point that he could beat the Troll King with his Neutral powers and be a threat to the schemes of Wiley, Tom, and Sylvester, in addition to the Troll Hunters. In short, Demaro becomes the supernatural threat to them.

If Demaro wins, I want him to eventually approach the Troll King, and then just get fuckin' one shot.

This fight is entertaining enough that I don't mind it lasting a really long time, but I'm definitely curious about what's happening with the rest of the cast. I think the reason that people don't mind Garry having all sorts of bullshit powers is that unlike Troll King he's actually likeable in a bizarre way and you're rooting for him to win. I like how creative Demaro is with his skillset, though. I don't see him as having bullshit powers. With that being said I have absolutely no idea how this fight is going to progress the story, but it's infinitely better than the Mario vs. Troll King fight because that one could've been done in far fewer pages to demonstrate that TK is basically invulnerable at this point. Honestly you could probably argue that the entire fight was redundant since it was pretty firmly established that you don't gently caress with TK after Sonic and the entire Sonic B-Team got curbstomped.

What if the brothers have been fighting so long that when we get back to the cast, Tails has beaten the Troll King and the story's been long over already? Like, the winner of the fight steps out of the underground room they've been fighting in, squints at the brightness of the midday sun, and realizes he's standing in a pile of rubble left from thousands of years of post-apocalyptic decay.
