Deadpool #19 art by Declan Shalvey

This was another rare moment in comics where I stop short in astonishment at the way an artist has translated kinetic qualities to the page. I’ve noticed throughout the story arc that Shalvey is really good at this, but these panels are a perfect example of allowing the reader to interpolate movement between panels. I might be getting carried away here but I’m always fascinated by how many different ways there are to show movement in art.

You know that scene in Ratatouille when Anton the critic takes a bite and immediately remembers why he loves food? And you can actually see years and years of cynicism fall away as he rediscovers the pure passion that he’d lost in exchange for expertise?

I’m waiting for that moment with like, 20 things right now. I need a rat piloting some dude’s hair like a tractor to make something good and help me remember what it’s like to love my hobbies. Teach me, CGI rodents, what it means to be happy instead of worn out and pessimistic about the things I once enjoyed

Petition to sit down all the people who make coma theories about Adventure Time and tell them “listen, this fucking show is about the last human living in a post-apocalyptic world where deadly magic has been reawakened following a global thermonuclear war that wiped out the rest of the human species, how much fucking darker do you want it to be”

Even though I thought my first Creative Writing professor was kind of a douche, he made a good point about this. One of our first assignments was to write in this eerie, otherworldly style (we were mimicking a specific author whose name escapes me), so we had to write about eerie otherworldly things happening. It’s no exaggeration to say that more than half the class had a “big reveal” where we find out that the story’s strange events and themes are all in the mind of some person in an insane asylum, or someone having a drug trip.

My professor said something like, “you just successfully wrote a world that feels separate from our own, but got frightened last minute and shoe-horned in normalcy. You showed that you were afraid to commit to something different and interesting.” Though I’m typically a contrarian and a piece of garbage, I am inclined to agree with my professor. I feel like people who write coma theories and the like are afraid to accept that the world of the story is separate from our own. They like everything wrapped up in this crazy little realism box where nothing out of the ordinary happens in fiction.

Thank you 🙂

This pretty well hits the nail on the head as to why I generally hate coma/dream theories and people who think they’re so fucking deep for coming up with it. In my book it’s LAZY, plain and simple.
