WAKE UP NIGGER @The Lawgiver
I'll have to watch this when It's quiet and I'm more alone but from what I've skimmed it's what I thought it'd be and bizzarely just a stretched out version of what the trailer showed. So my issues I had with the trailer carry over to here, and I'm wayyyyy to tired and lazy right now to do look for my earlier statements to paste them. Maybe in a few hours I'll edit it in or something.
One thing not covered in the trailer talk I did that's dissapointing is is the meteor shit happened without the actual game shit happening. I don't know if the trolls being shown off as a teaser for "adventures" is just as unfortunate or worse than the theory I saw floating around that it'd just wedge karkat into act 1. The fact they didn't even try there despite how heavily he's used in the marketing fucking astounds me.
It feels like the target audience is for children but because the setting takes place almost 20 years ago it feels like it's actually for autistic millenials.
It's a member berries type "adaptation" of a webcomic made by a possibly semi autistic kinda guy so I mean... Yeah what the fuck were you expecting?
...oh god 2009 was nearly 20 years ago now fuck
the rainbow puddles in the parking lot.
That's just car oil nigga
Homestar Runner is kino, all I know about Homestuk is that it looks cringe.
Both were fun in a different way from each other, Homestuck started out (and spent most of it's time before this current hell) as a comedic adventure game inspired webcomic that was the fourth one of said comics the guy that made them was putting out. At some point he stopped taking reader suggestions to "speed up the plot" and it did speed up pretty well till act 6... dear fucking god that's when it all fell apart. Not immediately, mind you, but it was a hell of a kind that's ripples are still felt to this day. There's still occasional good or funny elements in act 6 but it's buried under all the gay ass stupid badly written melodrama bullshit and attempts at self censoring or retconning stuff to suit the people that latched onto the comic's demands. Please note there is also a very half assed but important time travel subplot during act 6 called the retcon that's NOT a retcon in the usual sense (unless you count easter eggs like oil splatters or hands coming out of wall portals that weren't there before in random pages and inoperable password pages on the bottom of certain pages the time travel retcon thing affected)
Basically, the best way to put things is this: Imagine if after an explosion in popularity, the brothers chaps were constantly being screeched at about how they're sexist, racist, homophobic, whatever and they actually catered to those people and censored some of the jokes while framing the people that took ire with this as the real bad guys. Because that's what happened but with grey alien people and 4-8 white kids from earth instead of alien looking probably white-ish (and three latino-ish) people from earth.
Also another homestar comparison idea would be if strong bad suddenly got roped into some "wholesome 100" gay relationship with someone old enough that it'd be considered pedophillia and shit got so saccarine and stagnant in trying to pander to those types that'd want such a thing to happen and cheer it on that they had to bring in an exact copy of strongbad from nowhere with no explanation to replace the woobified and flanderized abomination.
