To be honest, I labeled both "Dark Sonic" (from Chapter 2) and Evil Sonic (Chapter 3) "Evil Sonic" when transcribing the script.

I just reread the Mario vs. Troll King fight and, despite thinking it dragged on and on when it was happening one page at a time, it actually works really well as a fight scene when you can read it all in one go. I wonder if Demaro v Garry will be the same.

I still think the biggest problem with the Mario vs. Troll King fight wasn't the length, it was just how one sided it was. Almost everything Mario did was ineffective and so it was not only a long fight...it was boring because it was just a lot of panels devoted to watching Mario get his rear end kicked.

Like, if it's going to be so one sided, a shorter battle is better because you get the point that a character is outmatched, pretty quickly. If it even felt like Mario was slightly challenging Troll King, then a long fight would've been okay.

To be fair it was the same with the Sonic vs. Troll King fight. He powers up to be Super Sonic and it... does nothing. Angry, he conjures up a ball of energy and it... does nothing. He stabs Troll King which... does nothing. After all his friends die, Sonic gets angry and becomes Evil Sonic (Dark Sonic?), which... does nothing as he is killed in the very next page.

The only characters who have come close to giving Troll King a run for his money are Emerl and Luigi, and the latter only had an advantage because of surprise. Thus far it's not obvious that there's anyone in this comic who could give Troll King a a real fight.

EDIT: The ineffectiveness of Sonic really makes me wonder how on earth a "soul bind" could really help Tails.

Well that's the thing about the fight rereading it is it doesn't really read that way when you can go through it all at once. Mario does a few ineffective attacks, getting angrier and angrier, then busts out his stars, which the Troll King acknowledges could legit kill him, and gets trumped by the Word of Death. Try rereading it, I think you'll see what I mean.

I completely agree. Going back, I was surprised at how short it all seemed. The product is really the sum of it's parts.

And the writing in Naruto is dogshit compared to TGT.

Does it provide immunity to dark and light attacks so he doesn't have to worry about the Words of Death? I'd assume that's what they fall under. Or do you just have to have no ears?

One thing that's always been bothering me about this is that when he first showed up, wasn't he in a different outfit? Was that like his street clothes, and these are his formal wear?

Also he totally killed Sylvester in self-defense. Most of these people living in the base were complete losers who made fun of other people online, but were still mostly harmless, and they murdered them with zombies and spears. The shotgun is the number #1 choice to handle these kind of situations. Troll-Son (Prince?) seems to have chosen the shotgun-surgeon perk.

It's not that he doesn't do things, it's that he does things that Lazerbot doesn't want to draw. They're often described by other characters offscreen.

Well he made appearance in this chapter, so you tell me. :colbert:

Really though I kind of like him because he's a mishmash of terrible trollface and gently caress YOU DAD, which makes him the hero that SomethingAwful deserves, not the hero that SomethingAwful needs.

Ah okey, read too much into what you said, which is ironic I guess, nevermind.

w/r/t Trollface, he doesn't really seem the type to get his own shounen fight scene, I have him pegged has more of a cowardly oppurtunistic scumbag, like a 4chan version of Joaquin Phoenix's character in Gladiator. which if why he murdered Slyvester from the shadows with a weapon rather than bring out the crazy fightscene powers. If he lasts long enough I wouldn't be suprised if he takes a pop at his old man as well considering he's a dignified honourable patriarch type villain.

Why would it be sarcasm? What SMG said is correct. It is cool that a previously 'random' cameo was actually hinting towards a later sudden appearance by the same character

Yeah, Trollface is probably going to cut and run if he's outmatched. Or Lazerbot could throw us another curveball by saying that Trollface is actually powerful and brave, but uses a facade of weakness to troll others. The intrigue, man.
