Op maybe you should do the Jared Leto suicide squad next. That’s another incoherent mess of colors and nonexistent plot points that could benefit from a clinical retelling.

Well it would be. How could you expect it to survive the format shifting without a drop in quality?

as he was entwined by grasping doodle tendrils against a background of flat yellow stained with blood, the hero explicated, "they are trying to stop me!" the doodles unleashed their oldest and most potent weapon, the randomly appearing stick of dynamite.    the hero shrugged off the attack.  a lusciously lipped doodle mouth picked him up by the seat of his spandex underpants.   the stars and stripes of the american flag blazed majestic in the sky.  the doodle tendrils dragged the hero away.  isabella malley woke to find herself transformed into a doodle chicken.    her daughter jennifer was caught in a temporal spasm, blinking back and forth between noid form and a frizzy-haired doodle with disturbing blank white eyes as a doodle wolf strolled calmly past, carrying a doodle sheep under each arm.   the doodle crowd throbbed and cavorted, filling the street with hooting chaos. a doodle nazi marched by with a red doodle hound on a chain, his pistol jammed into its doodle anus, his doodle compatriot trotting behind with a shovel and a bucket filled with steaming doodle nazi poo poo.   angel-winged doodle dogs in white pyjamas rained down anvils, barrels, iron safes and other heavy objects from doodle heaven.  a doodle hog dressed as elvis sang for the people of america.  the elvis hog was attacked by a fan.    the two fought, and then kissed in the aftermath.   unnoticed by anybody amidst the doodle orgy, jack's broken pen began to drip.

a doodle cigar popped out of the broken pen, followed by the rest of nails.  the corpse of brad pitt swarmed with doodle mice; it was unclear what they were doing to it.  nails billowed with emotion at the sight of his dead comrade. "hold on, hold on!" he cried, even though it was apparent from the pool of blood that it was far too late for that.   he bent over brad pitt's body and wept.  the hero continued to fight for control of the spike, assailed on every side by animal-headed spectres and hugely breasted things.  the vortex of ink formed itself into a whirlwind of limbs and faces as a doodle army sprung from its liquid heart.   the hero slaughtered the doodles with vicious glee.       could the quiet, melancholic jack deebs we once knew have been capable of such savagery?      is this how he murdered his wife's lover?   the killing escalated into a sickening crescendo of violence. one by one the doodles were squashed, stretched, slammed, slapped and punched into oblivion.   the hero cackled like a psychopath as he crushed a doodle in midair and admired its dark blood on his hands.     another doodle shot a large pink ball into the hero's mouth.   he brutally retaliated.    grinning maniacally, the hero pulverised the doodle corpses into an oily smear and rubbed his face in their blood.    at that moment of dreadful carnage, holli would reappeared.

I wish the rest of the movie was more psycho poo poo like this. I hate jack's hero design though, I wish it resembled the actor more. I feel like Jack is dead, hes been replaced wholesale with this being, his true self has ceased to be, and its disturbing to think about

As far as the movie is concerned, he had a history but no identity anyways. He was less than a flat character.

For some reason the thing about this movie that irks me the hardest is Gabriel's refusal to do anything with his character. Overacting i can take and even enjoy, but phoning it in acting is a complete waste of everyone's time. Imagine if he played Jack as dangrously psychotic, or even as a stuttering 90's nerd stereotype. I don't know, just SOMETHING other than bored and annoyed 24/7.

The "hero" could be seen as a critique of the comic capes, a brightly coloured, impossibly physiqued, square jawed, functionally immortal, idiot psychopath. But, the rest of the film would not support that. Jack has not been set up as a hardened critic of the state of the art form, he has expressed no overwhelming opinion on comics other than his own. If anything, when turning into the hero - going from what little we know about his work - he should have turned into a heroic sexy lady and finished the film with a rotoscoped catfight. He probably should have been the hero as himself, fighting off the toons by erasing and redrawing them on the fly, interacting with them as their creator and controller. He could even have done the conductor thing, pulled a full fantasia and imposed his will upon them with a flourish of the pen-as-wand. But I guess that would have required a lot more storyboarding, budget for effects & choreography, the lead giving a poo poo etc. Or they could have leant into the established dark side of the character. Turn him into a semi-realistic cartoon version of himself to murder all these things while monologuing about how they have betrayed him, just like everyone always does. Have doc baby cackle as the "hero" goes to work, becoming the one who destroys the doodles and may finally bring him the death he has been dreaming of for several decades. If they cut Brad Pitt entirely, dumped that entire storyline in the bin and focused on the relationship between a creator and their creation when it has grown out of their control, there is a more coherent story there. If they ignored the source and the sperm entirely, cut Gabe out and just had the story of a Brad Pitt sucked into a cartoon world, maybe that would have worked too. The story of him becoming the gently caress-police and having to stop a sexy lady toon who has ruptured the realities by summoning & boning some nerd who promptly explodes out of the film so we never have to deal with him.

I like the "They're trying to stop me" added in completely separate to the animation, as if someone didn't trust that the animation would get that across but when the animation was omplete no one took it out either

There's an extremely good graphic novel called Kingdom of the Wicked that has some similar concepts, where a fantasy writer's childhood inner world has been going this whole time unsupervised and now as an adult it's in a horrifying state of war and decay. poo poo, now i want to reread Kingdom of the Wicked.

This was so goddamn good- I still wince at (trigger warning for animal cruelty) the part about sticking needles in a horse's eyes. I keep meaning to do studies of the art, too.

To get back on track I want to point out that the absurd amount of joyful violence that Super Jack gets into is arguably the most unsettling thing yet.

Not that I want to defend lazy storytelling but I think Super Jack saying the obvious kinda reminds me of how superheroes on old comic covers would describe with dialogue exactly what is being depicted visually. Anything this movie gets right is entirely accidental though.
