    I think this could really work best as a TV miniseries instead of a theatrical film. It would give it more time to breathe and tell the story and get us to care about Sang by having that extra time to explore his character and background more, as well as see more of this world. With some adjustments to the writing and pacing, it could be a really good watch.

    The problem with it as movie or TV is that it has too much action and too many characters. You couldn't adapt something like this easily with a reasonable budget. The idea of slowing down the story to talk it out is good, but having a gang want to build a community center is stupid as the talk ending up being pointless in story terms. Like alot of people, he is overflowing with good ideas but doesn't get how to properly construct a story. The book is almost more a catalog of good scenes than a story. And I dont know what he was thinking when he pulled out the scifi boss battle at the end.
    You are correct about the exposition at the end. That needed to be salted throughout the story as character development scenes. Quiet bits between the action scenes. You are also correct that main character motivations (ala John Wick) have to be clear from the start.
    The good side to doing movie/tv proposals in comic form is that if they are done well, you have something that people can easily understand because you have storyboards and early visual design right there on the page. But the downside is that if you get it wrong, you can't do another "draft" as you do with scripts. Comics (at least how we do them now) is a one-shot thing where your ideas are all out there and you don't get a do-over.

      I mean I am just starting my comic and yet I do believe I could fit whatever the hell I please in there, it usually depends on the theme, if your comic is supposed to be grounded with certain aspects of realism and mood then you should know where to draw the line.
      Samurai Jack is a good example of a story being able to portray whatever the hell the authors wanted at any given point, because of the broad possibilities already stabilished by the beginning of the story, not feeling weird or inconsistent.

    • @Jim-Tuner
      @Jim-Tuner 6 лет назад +2

      You can fit whatever you please into a comic. But its best to set it up properly. In the case of this comic, he should have put some hint of biological technology being available earlier in the story or hint that he was not quite human rather than just springing it on the reader when the fight starts. There was nothing wrong with the fight. Its more a question of how to properly do world-building for the reader.

      Oh really? Thanks, man! To put it in the basic a young boy named Tykashi lives in a world just like ours only difference is that they have a superhero named wingman who has been fighting and saving people. He appeared right around world war 1 and has been the reason why the united forces won both wars. After that, he has become an icon of the world and similar to all might one for all his power can pass on to who he deems worthy. There have been 8 people who have been wing man/ wing woman right now and 2019 wingman has grown old and getting weaker its time he passed on the mental.
      Tykashi freshmen in high school had a project on what he wanted to be when he grew up. He got in front of his school and said he wanted to be wingman and how he wanted to change like how he wanted his grandma wanted him to in his own.the school called crazy for it but one old man walked over to him and explained how his speech made him feel and then and there he told the school that he was wingman and tykashi was the one who he'll pass his power on to. This spread fast around the world but one problem that people saw. He was black all wingmen and women have been white. Now most people are fine with this kid being wingman as long as he does a good job hell even Trump is rooting for him. But sadly there are people like the sjw, anitfia, KKK, and black activities. All want him gone or be the hero they want instead of what the world needs. With the whole world watching his every move he must fight to keep the world safe by new super villains that have appeared and make sure his name and wingman's doesn't get dragged through the mud

    Just to show how fair comicsgaters are, this prepubescent brat effortlessly slaughtering hordes of grown, hardened badasses annoys me just as much as a boy, as it would if he were a girl. Talking about things that knock you out of this 'hyper-real' world - that does it for me, right at the start and throughout.
    Also, one wee thing, on that page that shows Sang's scrawled memoirs. That just screams that it was written by a comic writer (or a failed movie writer). The portentous statements, cut into different paragraphs...
    ... by ellipses, then emphasised WITH ALL CAPS... that's not how a young kid writes, let alone a semi-literate young kid.
    With all that and everything else mentioned in the vid, the comic seems to me like some writer's near-Gary-Stu power/revenge daydream ("If a bad guy came up to me, I'd be like, whoosh, hiyaaa, urnf urnf urnf, raaagh! Then everyone would clap.") than a character's story. I'm probably missing the point, that it's all about a bit of the old ultraviolence, but still. That's not going to cover up any deficiencies and negligence in the story, any more than a virtue-signalling lead character...
