Doubtless, you've all seen
this by now. A cool idea? Perhaps, and this will almost certainly bolster the argument made by Brent Pritchett that comics can't convey action well, since they seem forced to turn themselves into a cartoon or movie to keep the attention of anyone in the mainstream.
I think my biggest gripe with it is the fact that they are selling all the other episodes for money, and since this ties into a best-selling graphic novel, and a massive blockbuster movie release, it's likely they'll make quite a killing from it. If they're going to easily recoup their losses then, why is one guy doing all the voices? It's not entirely noticeable until you get to anything said by Silk Spectre (nee Laurie Juspe- Jupiter), and then it sounds like when you're pointing out the foibles of your girlfriend's logic using your interpretation of her voice, which is invariably ridiculous.
The animation is clean enough, seeing as all they had to do was photoshop source material and stick it in Flash or something similar, but it feels slightly dead to me, perhaps because the limbs are stiff. There's some cool lighting effects and forced focus that they could have gotten away with not doing, so it's nice to see the effort, but as it stands, I don't think I'd be finishing this if the remaining 11 episodes were free.
Any thoughts on the trailer? This has been discussed ad nauseam, I'm sure, on all sorts of forums and message boards by now, and my two cents are going to be tantamount to pissing in the wind, so instead, I'm going to just leave you with an
opportunity.
