Re: Star Power V: The Final Yawntier
Remember the star powered have been wiped out for a long time now. Its entirely possible under normal circumstances they would have updated the information over time. Keeping it current with normal speech patterns or other translations, etc etc etc. We dont know for sure what the original plan was before they got basically genocided.

Re: Star Power V: The Final Yawntier
Compare Boromir's character arc to Siegfried's. Last I checked Tolkien didn't make every single morally ambiguous character basically go full sauron.
I have no objections to black & white being present, but the way Mookie described his issue with Siegfried came across like him objecting to having any character venture too far outside of the black/white dichotemy.

Re: Star Power V: The Final Yawntier
Them again?!
You can't attempt to write a story and pretend there is a serious threat when the villain is the equivalent of "team rocket".
On the positive side, there is the tracker that makes a lot more sense than accidentally bumping into Danica again.
Also the joke about how seriously dude #3 takes it is somewhere between tragic and funny, so I guess that's fine too.

Re: Star Power V: The Final Yawntier
Eh, I want to be angry about the convenience and the recycling of old enemies (also, countess) but really, it's kind of hilarious how Mookie attempts to keep people a threat who clearly aren't. Next time: BHB breaks out of jail, kills whoever helped him do that, allies with the next Facist alien mafia group and accidentally stumbles into the Kioleth system.

Re: Star Power V: The Final Yawntier
Eh, these peons werent really treated as a serious threat after the vorp angels arc anyways. The last battle they were just kind of... present I guess. What im more surprised by is the other two being willing to put up with this crap from mr obsession over here. "Ooops, I accidentally dropped a giant rock on the tracker. Guess we cant follow her anymore. TIME TO FIND A FREAKING JOB NOW!"
And yeah, gotta bring back the countess. /sigh At least when robo bill shows up she will have one minion to work with."Interdum feror cupidine partium magnarum Europae vincendarum"

Re: Star Power V: The Final Yawntier
Really? Freaking REALLY?! What the hell happened to the countess, she looks like clayface. I was hoping for at least SOME delay between the anvil sized "hint" that the countess would make a return.

Not to mention that her first words after recovery had to mention her revenge.
Just in case you didn't remember she was EVIL.

Re: Star Power V: The Final Yawntier
So she is a prisoner of the galactic empire or whatever its called, she is on life support, and she just wakes up and busts out. Any takers on if we will ever see how the hell she managed to get away? A severely wounded unarmed naked lady in a rabid fit is just going to storm right out of the place like she was forgotten about by everyone till a week later when a nurse pops in to make sure the machinery is functioning. And somehow she will still be a threat, even without her army, equipment, or vast array of powerful ships.

Re: Star Power V: The Final Yawntier
Even with her vast robot army she wasn't much of a threat to galactic army. Do we rwally have to worry abou this deranged has-been?

Re: Star Power V: The Final Yawntier
No, no, no! Worry is a negative emotion. We at Mookie Inc. have learned our lesson, and thus strive to keep negative emotions out of our comics entirely, which is why you will never see an antagonist that is not thoroughly neutered.
If you don't like the super-powered emperor (sans powers and empire), why not try the very popular Black Hole Bill, who's self destructive villainous tendencies make him throw away everything that could possibly help him!

Re: Star Power V: The Final Yawntier
Item the twelfth - if thou hast no mooks, thou shalt bekome thyne own mook.
OMG I just had the weirdest revelation. If people in England wrote y instead of th (ye olde = the olde), would they have noticed a change when they stopped saying thou and began to only say you? I mean, would they have just begun reading older texts as if all the thou (written you) in there were actually you?Originally Posted by J.R.R. Tolkien, 1955

Re: Star Power V: The Final Yawntier
just wait until we show you our rampaging hulk expy who doesn't feel a lot of strong emotions, our corrupt corporate exec mastermind who wastes all his money, the mad scientist whose inventions only half-work, and a sociopathic serial murderer who kills people.....with a Knife. (thats how you know we're being edgy and realistic)

Re: Star Power V: The Final Yawntier
That 'Y' was not actually a y, but a thorn, as AMX said; and further the "ou" in "thou" in not pronounced the same as the "ou" in "you" so there would be no confusion in speech.
It's kind of the same thing as the ſ that is actually an s, not an f. It can confuse people not used to modern calligraphy but it's not the letter it looks like it is.Hark! An avatar drawn by Kate Beaton!

Re: Star Power V: The Final Yawntier
I'll give the green girl some credit. If she hadn't translated that text, Danica wouldn't have known what to say to make those statues calm the **** down.
As for the Countess . . . I still can't figure out why she keeps doing that with her tongue. Star Power? More like Thtar Thower.

I'm pretty sure this is going to be linked to the Zel Gux Rokkosian Galactic Empire in some way.

Re: Star Power V: The Final Yawntier
What? No, this is totally unrelated to what is going on. Mookie is so bad he just throws in random stuff when he's not drawing the main story... Okay, well, he did that. But he's most likely not doing it now.
Weeeee, countess is back. I sure hope without her army she will pose a bigger threat. Oh, wait...
Eh, I'm actually kind of curious about where this history lesson is going.

Re: Star Power V: The Final Yawntier
Im betting it will end with a star powered uniting the people in some way. Then we have the next issue which has green gal madame expert getting her hands on an alternate mitch. The issue ends with some foreboding foreshadowing of some sort, then the next filler bit covers the revelation that this star power is bad, or went bad. It may even be a bit of a power corrupts thing. The star powered was the savior, was practically worshiped, and eventually it got arrogant and cruel etc etc etc.

Re: Star Power V: The Final Yawntier
Just out of curiosity . . . Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that the "Wise Ones" are still called that, even after the story reaches the point where they were all killed or exiled into the desert to die for going insane and demanding everyone commit suicide?

Re: Star Power V: The Final Yawntier
There are examples in many languages of words that had an original meaning that was changed over time.
In here, it's just more likely that the same words were used so the readers won't get confused.
Also, update.
I'm still not sure why this is in the middle of the chapter instead of filler pages.
It's not information the characters are currently reading, so not only that it feels forced, when the characters DO learn about it we'll need to see the story AGAIN or timeskip and pretend someone just gave them this information.
So why now?

Re: Star Power V: The Final Yawntier
Because that last page of non-filler on the 23rd was the end of the 'issue'. The current chapter is over, and the next bit of story won't be for a few weeks. So this is straight-up filler. I guess we're supposed to be sitting here in nail-biting suspense, wondering what will happen when the Countess escapes and somehow magically transitions from naked hobo to galactic threat.
Personally I'm still waiting for Robo-Bill to come onto the scene. Bonus points if he's working for 'the good guys'. Extra bonus points if he has a malfunction and reverts back to his oldincompetentevil personality.

Re: Star Power V: The Final Yawntier
Yeah, people sometimes just stick with words, even though they might not apply anymore. Also, "the Insane Ones" just sounds stupid. And "the Wise Turned Insane" Ones is too much of a mouthful.

Well, maybe Countess and Robo Bill will meet, fall in love, have a child who due to some temporal whatever becomes the new big threat to the galaxy! With parents like these, it's guaranteed to be evil and super competent, after all.

Is anyone getting a Marius vibe from diablo 2 here?

Re: Star Power V: The Final Yawntier
Oh no.... I think I see where this is going
I guess we can still hope that Mookie will keep the overall plot moving more than 1-2 pages per issue for the next four issues but I'm not betting on itLead Designer for Oracle Hunter GamesToday a Blog, Tomorrow a Business!

I favour a change of scenery. But I fear what's to come.
