Rotten Red Rod posted:Anytime you see the art style shift like that and Mookie trying a new perspective you can bet on it being traced. Probably, but at least with characters that sort of tracing is more like copying poses than outright lifting a scene as it did with the park or the diner.

The characters entering a ship seems to imply that we're done with walking for the forseeable future. Unless Mookie contrives a way to separate Snout from the Ink Witch again like he did in Mongreltown. Also seeing the Ink Witch, Snout and Corpse Bride together really highlights how uninspired his character design's become even compared to OG DD.

Nah I've seen quite a lot of posts of people being annoyed at twists for the sake of tricking the audience recently, and why it's not a bad thing when the audience correctly picks up on foreshadowing. There's this weird perception (I mean it probably HAS happened but nowhere near as frequently as people think) that showrunners see audiences making predictions about what's going to happen and then change the story so they can go 'Gotcha! What a twist eh?!' no matter the detriment to the show. So it could be genuine. Most of it popped up after Game of Thrones ended, I think.

I'd say The Last Jedi really started it, but people got sick of a lot of things in modern TV storytelling after Game of Thrones. I've never see a show leave the pop culture conversation as fast as it did.

There's also Lost, where from the very first episode people called "They're dead and in the afterlife" and it seems like the writers did everything they could to try and make people feel that they were wrong, and in the end it turned out they were right.

All those examples share something with Mookie's comics - the writers had no idea where they were going with the story, only that there should be a mystery that gets revealed. The difference being most of them went off the rails trying to top themselves with more mysteries, whereas Mookie just... Has nothing interesting happen at all.

Westworld was one actual example, the showrunners said they altered a major twist after everyone on the Internet guessed it.

Someone say unsatisfying stories? Probably one of the only interesting questions about the Legacy was how this ship was supposed to work. It's intelligent enough to ask questions and act independent of its creator's will, but is 100% an ink construct. So to see that the inside of the ship is an empty room where the Ink Witch just draws which way she wants to go on loose paper is maybe the most unsatisfying answer I can think of, good work.

Well you see, it was the wild edge affecting it! Which is why it was intelligent and autonomous for a while. Then worked normally for a while. Then crashed. Because wild edge!!!!! I still think what ACTUALLY happened is that the ship was originally mean to be controlled by an antagonist, not the ink witch, but Mookie changed his mind early one, likely just after it blew up Snout's house. But Mookie couldn't think up a good explanation for it's actions before that point, so he... Didn't. The ink witch's period of working with Snout through the paper is in the same boat - Mookie probably had a certain idea about her motivations, later changed his mind, but didn't bother to go back and explain her actions before her ship crashed.

Corpsemomwife's supposed to be a blank slate, so it wouldn't make sense for her to know how to talk, seeing as Snout didn't teach her. But that would require the characters facing any type of adversity or inability to communicate effectively with each other, so of course Mookie would choose the laziest direction this could go. Also, if that ship is made entirely out of ink then I bet it smells bad inside.

Does it being made out of ink make it 10x as spacious on the inside? There's no way that's the same size as any of its prior appearances.

Even just drawing it on the walls/windscreen or something would have made it slightly more visually interesting. Drawing on a piece of paper and holding it up is just the dumbest execution of that idea.

It's not 10x as big on the inside as on the outside, it's as big as the current panel needs it to be. That thing definitely grew in size between panels 2 and 3.

And the old pilot-drawings are just lying around. What a joyless, empty design.

I feel like the old drawings lying around could actually work in a way. If the ship flew based on following a drawn path, then keeping old drawings for when you want to revisit a place would be convenient. Like if you drew a route from your house to your mom's house, you could keep that on file so you wouldn't have to make a new drawing every time you wanted to visit your mom, just pull that one out and use it. Most people would probably keep them organized and filed/labeled so you could easily find a route when you needed it, and the Ink Witch having hers lying about would imply she was a slob or just scatterbrained. But of course, that would require a lot of setup that wouldn't work in a "speechless" comic. Also the ship pretty clearly doesn't work the way I described, it really is just "She draws a line going left and the ship goes left."

This is probably super nitpicky, but just like Snout's house, her ship doesn't even have a loving single chair.

Guess it's time for even more nothing to happen. Mookie seems to think that you can make a comic entirely out of establishing shots, not that it's a tool you use to quickly show off what a new location is like to readers.
