These motion comics were just a terrible idea to begin with.

No need to get snippy. If by "it" you mean the motion comic, then that should be obvious to anyone. I think you're being hard on the guy who made the cartoonified trailer, considering he did it single-handedly in a day.

I should have elaborated. I thought some of you thought this was the actual motion comic. I really should have said, "the actual motion comic is way better than this." For an amateur video, that was pretty good.

Yeah, no joke. How devoid of imagination must you be to need a "motion comic"?

At least they're not attempting to charge for it.

Saw it.

The fill in art is horrid.

Talented narrator, but he should have had some help from other voices.

The animation is pathetic. I know... I know... it's a motion comic.

Which is a little bit like me complaining about a turd sandwich.

What do you WANT shit to taste like?

I dunno. I like the lo-fi style, mostly because it's different.

Maybe it would be cooler anime-style or CGI? Heh...

The only gripe I have is not having a female voice actor, leaving the audio sounding too much like an audiobook reading. For what it's meant to be, it's much better than it has any business being.

i think it would've worked better without a constant score. that was kinda buggin me.

it was well done.

I changed the Itunes to the American one, then i tried to download it but couldnt because i dont have an account, so i tried to make one and i cant because i do not have a credit card and my parents are too scared of putting details on the web, so has anyone put it on youtube or got another download link.
And i no that it is free so i do not need a credit card but to make an account you need to put your credit card details on, which i just cannot do, anyone got any suggestions they will be much appreciated.

What's wrong with me? I liked it. Now, I didn't think it was "fucking awesome" or anything like that, but it was great seeing the comic come to life. I thought the animators did a great job. I'm also surprised that you guys, whose allegiance lies strongly with the original work, would not like it more. What was so offensive about it? Can you guys elaborate on your disdain?

I didn't think it was so bad, although Laurie's voice was pretty funny. Definitely not hate-worthy.

Wait...I don't think that's worded right...



The entire concept of a "motion comic" is inherently retarded. I'm not saying that anyone who enjoys a "motion comic" is mentally deficient...probably, but I don't get why anyone would spend their precious time watching this when they could just read the book. Why would anyone reading a comic book need motion provided for them?


WHAT THE FUCK DOES "MOTION COMIC" EVEN MEAN?

It's an oxymoron.

It's a comic book with parts put into motion. I don't think it's a terrible idea. It's the equivalent of an audiobook for Watchmen.

So what you're saying is, if anything, the motion comic is just another reason for someone not to read the book, therefore, it's evil.

Which serves what purpose? How is that more enjoyable, or even equally as enjoyable as reading the book?



Well, this isn't the first time we've disagreed on something, if I can properly recollect.



It's not though. An audiobook is just someone reading to you, so you can drive and enjoy a book at the same time. A "motion comic" is nothing. It's an abomination that shouldn't even exist.

I'm getting hysterical. Let me calm down.

(deep breath)

Okay. No, not evil. Just unnecessary, I guess. I can't wrap my head around why anyone would watch this, or why anyone thought it was a worthwhile endeavor to put together in the first place. That's all. My lack of understanding makes me afraid, and my fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hatred.

Why does it have to be? Maybe it's just something different. If everything had to be as good as Watchmen in graphic novel form in order to be enjoyable, I wouldn't read any comics or watch any movies. Nobody said that this was more enjoyable than reading the book - but it's a change of pace, which is refreshing after reading the actual thing so many times.


It's not though. A motion comic is just someone animating a comic, so you can work and enjoy a graphic novel at the same time. An "audio book" is nothing.

Please don't try and defend the "motion comic" industry just for the sake of being contrary. It's beneath you.



That almost makes sense. I might be able to accept that.



I'll agree with you there. I've never listened to one, nor do I ever plan to.

I guess what I'm trying to get everyone to sound off on is, do you think the motion comic will do more harm than good? Will it drive more people to read the actual book, or give them an excuse to not read it?
