Hero Team Plot Synopsis And Analysis Thread -

[Cure Quanta]

Allow me to analyze something else about Hero Team for a moment:

The sound effects are atrocious. I think "tttttttttttttttt" is the worst sound for submachine guns ever conceived. It'd be less stupid to read if he just put "*submachine gun*" as the sound effect like when Chrissy just writes what the onomatopoeia are supposed to be sound effects for. When it's combined with his art style it looks like somebody just scribbled plus signs all over the panels.

I had actually avoided putting any analysis into the onomatopoeia, but fawk, you're right. It's not quite *MAKES GUN DO A 180'*, but it's still fricking jarring how often he gives absolutely atrocious ones out there.

Like look at Hero Team #4. Pu-ssss is the sound of Adam's speed booster. And in #8, THU-THU-THU is a missile launch.

Like, I know what he's going for, but it just doesn't work. "takkatakkatakka" works better if we're talking something that's supposed to sound low-caliber and kind of clappy, a speed booster needs a sort of "fssssh" or "fwoooosh" noise to suggest pushing aside air or activating some kind of pneumatic/hydraulic internals, and some kind of "fwoomph" or "ka-FWOOSH" noise needs to happen for launching a missile and it coming out of its launcher.

Compared to that, it sounds more like he made the noises himself and just wrote down what they sounded like passing past his lips.

I'm not sure that's a sound effect, I think the speed booster gained sapience and was trying to call him a pussy.

Jay blames "page size" for his inability to perform.

I just visited his website, and read the description of the story.

"This webcomic, inspired by the modern first-person-shooters of the XBox era of video games, answers the question: What if supersoldiers were real, as if they actually exist in actuality? Namely, the author wouldn't be working with comic books, but would instead chase after the more romantic and glamorized lifestyle of massively slaughtering the enemies of liberty."

What I don't understand is why he thinks writing a story about super soldiers is answering the question of "What would super soldiers be like if they were real?" Would be a good idea. Hasn't Halo done that already? Did he fell that Halo's description and characteristics of Spartans/Super Soldiers inadequate? From Jaimas' description it just sounds like a twisted fan fiction of Halo.

Plus if he is making huge descriptions in a comic book, why not just turn it into a written story, and maybe include pictures, rather than pictures that include paragraphs?

Hero Team also rips off Duke Nukem, CoD and Tom Clancy. It's basically wish fulfilment for Jay; he really wants to be a supersoldier but won't ever join the army.
He sticks with comic books despite feeling he's better at writing because of his materplan. His comics will be successful enough to be made into an animation. The amination will be successful enough for Jay to be parachuted in as head of the struggling Cartoon Network, and he will recomission all his 90s/00s favourites like Dexter's Lab and PPG.
It's basically a very elaborate CHANGE SONIC'S ARMS BACK.

What an oblivious ass. Webcomicparodies offers to help GK improve his comics. Here's his reply:

Well hello and welcome(?) back.

I always like going into unabridged detail if I can help it. I'm glad you appreciate it.

If handled right, your idea could be very funny. But take care, because this can also hurt some feelings, or so I'd imagine. On the other hand, I'm not sure how auto-correct can handle words that are already spelled correctly, though. Either way, so far your gallery does not reflect this.

You know what? I don't care. I like my mullet. I like my mullet because it explicitly defies trending (and as a bonus, some women prefer men with long hair; looks manly in a medieval style). And it was that defiance that earned me my high school love.

Your conditions for critiquing sound fair, although I find the idea of feedback from you hard to believe because your own artistic skills are done in a manner that I find to be unpleasing to my eyes - and not just for my personal attachment reasons about subject matter. Beyond the intentionally bad spelling (and to me, bad spelling is always going to be bad spelling, and that's always going to be bad to me), I can not stare directly at it. It's basically nothing but a series of ovals and burning colors. If anything, *I* should critique *YOU!*

Geez what a pretentious ass! I took a look at the comics Webcomicparodies did and they seem to be what you'd call Stylistic Suck (that is where the quality is meant to be poor) and it's easy to understand what's going on where as his trash is just incomprehensible and terrible. Either way, he doesn't have any ground to critique someone else's work.

In EPIC GKville, shitty artist critiques YOU!
