Reading through Blaster Nation. Why does Matt hate his Dad at this point?
>>
Not sure, perhaps because he tried stopping him from going to the air force, but the little shit should really feel sorry by now, I mean he cut his damn hand off
>>
>>78901879
Yeah like, he TRIED to stop him, but gave up. Why the fuck does he hate him all of a sudden? Came out of nowhere I feel.
>>
>>78901901

They had an antagonistic relationship from the start, though, Logan just became more sympathetic as a result of the flashback.

He probably hates his dad because Logan spent years telling him his hobbies were embarassing and when he finally decided to try something new (the air force) his dad lashed out at him.
>>
>>78902033
Don't get me wrong, his dad is an ass, but man.

Also why'd the creator stop with this storyline? It's infinitely more interesting than the rest of the comic.
>>
Their relationship has been strained since Matt was a teenager and they just had a very chaotic year what with Haiti and the whole arm debacle. And when Matt gets back his parents are like "get your shit and get out", and his friends gave the space he felt he was entitled to to a red haired layabout bitch. He's kind of just pissed at everyone right now. His life is shit and he really doesn't know what to do about it.
>>
>>78902121
Can't have things be TOO dramatic, although I agree it's more interesting. But nothing in the comic is as important as the answer to the crucial question: Did Bill ever receive his order? Did he drop it off on the way to the hospital?
>>
>>78902654
I'm behind on the comic, but did the lesbian story ever go anywhere?
>>
>>78902726
Rinnie and Ash? It led to brief, partially-onscreen-but-largely-offscreen lesbian shenanigans. The impact of those shenanigans hasn't been revealed yet.
>>
You just don't go liking a person you previous dislike with one or two good moments. It takes a while before a bond can be forged.
>>
>>78902453
>his friends gave the space he felt he was entitled to to a red haired layabout bitch.
Honestly I'm kind of waiting for that to come back up. He seems to have just let it slide but deep down it's still bothering him.

Been a while since I've read this comic though so maybe not. Is he moving out? Is he gonna live with that one trio of nerds? Is he gonna fuck the tranny?
>>
>>78904587
He's going to attempt to fuck the tranny and embarrass himself somehow. I'm already cringing at the thought.
>>
>>78902726
We got pg-13 tier nudity so I call it a success.
>>
When's Matt going to get a job/go to college? I thought that was the point of him going through the air force, besides getting away from his dad.
>>
>>78905178
>Attempt to fuck tranny

>Ends up getting fucked by the tranny

Nigga gon be flossing with them ginger pubes.
>>
>>78902726
A one-night stand and impending heartbreak.
>>
>>78905763
Have you seen the latest page?

Ash is driving a gasoline truck down a rickety Andean mountain road the way she's gonna crash and burn.
>>
>>78901819
his dad kicked him out pretty much as soon as he got back from the peace corps.

add to that his father never trying to understand his interests and trying to force him to drop everything when his dad had his accident which he also feels partially responsible for.
>>
>>78905885
It'll be even worse if that was her first time, which it probably was.
>>
>>78904587
yeah its kinda weird how he seems completely fine with being replaced by his best friend with a lazy dickhead who's idea of friendship is just 24/7 abuse
>>
>>78906499
He's not exactly FINE with it. He's just too limp dicked to do anything about it.

Closest he's really ever managed to stand up for himself is when he didn't pay for Rinnie's comic book even after she tried to seduce his money out of him.
>>
>>78906657
god, that's even worse. I wonder if he's going to just snap one day and burn their house down.
>>
>>78906733
He'll probably snap one day and just scream at them a bit and tell them to fuck off. I expect this to come somewhat soon, now that he has new friends that honestly treat him pretty well. Here's hoping he doesn't completely fuck it up with the new group on the way to finding out that whats-her-name is a guy.
>>
>>78907102
I'll laugh when it turns out Jenny's just a fairy rugged woman and Matt still fucks things up.
>>
>>78907429
til he started straight up wearing dresses I thought jenny was just a rugged MAN. named jenner. there's nothing really feminine there.. dude belongs in a metal band.
even now, fuck, maybe he just likes dresses. i know i like kilts and tunics and shit
>>
>>78906499
Well considering last time I remember, he was also angry at his actual childhood friend because of how much "He has a gf, a great life but still feels the need to act like an entitled ass because oh it's just the way he is." tho i may have read it wrong.

However, it seems he pretty much cut all conenctions to his old friends in exchange of short fatty, Tranny and Woolie.
>>
>>78908590
Jenny was wearing a dress in the very first page she was introduced on, though.
>>
>>78907102
>Here's hoping he doesn't completely fuck it up with the new group on the way to finding out that whats-her-name is a guy.
This is exactly what I'm expecting. It's going to be a total cringefest.
>>
>>78901819
Because he's a fucking shit

>>
>>78915194
She wants the simple things from life; cash money and mad dick.
>>
Because Matt is a bitter, terrible person incapable of genuine empathy
>>
will when Matt fuck the tranny?
>>
>>78920009
Maybe.
>>
>>78920009
Never. She'll turn him down.
>>
>>78920009
I want it to turn out that he's actually a transvestite and be offended Matt thought he was transexual
>>
>>78920009
matt doesnt deserve to be happy
>>
>>78923831
I have a feeling that Matt was supposed to be a kind of everyman for the audience to empathize with, but he's been quite unsympathetic so far.
>>
>>78923902
I think the comic dropped that conceit when the narration itself yelled at him for masturbating
>>
>>78925372
Pretty much.

The whole theme of the world seems to be "Very flawed people living life" so having a fully sympathetic character as a protagonist would not make it work too. That is why hal and others don't get that much screentime, because their personality are way less toxic and are mostly there to stop the comic to become completely unlikable.
>>
>>78925454
The problem with Matt is that unlike, say, Rinne, he hasn't changed since the beginning of the comic, or shown any interesting sides of character.
>>
>>78920009
First Questionable Content, now this. What's with /co/ and "will they, won't they" tranny fucking?
>>
>>78926098
Trannies are all the rage now, so they're getting a lot of play.
>>
>>78926098
It was morbid fascination with QC. The protag's romantic life was a train wreck; dumped by his girlfriend due to trust issues, said girlfriend became a lesbian, and then started happily dating his boss.

With Matthew, there might be actually interest in seeing him happy rather than if he can hit rock bottom.
>>
>>78920009
Matt's such a beta it will be years before he even initiates one-on-one conversation.
>>
Isn't this that comic that has Woolie in it?

>get extra sad because the comic is made by a cute couple and I'm lonely
>>
>>78926490
I want Matt to earn his happiness, even if it means he has to hit rock bottom to realize that it's something he needs to do. If trying to fuck a tranny in desperation ultimately leads him to better himself, I'm all for it.
>>
>>78927893
Yes
>>
>>78901819

He's a lazy NEET entitled piece of shit. I stopped reading when the made the Asian guy suddenly gay for progressive points.
>>
>>78928200
>get even sadder when you realize they probably fuck like rabbits on a daily basis
>>
>>78930550
Dunno. They seem too busy to fuck.
>>
>>78930437
>suddenly
I couldn't even tell he was a guy when he first showed up
>>
>>78930988
Their busy consists of drawing porn of their self inserts daily. I imagine that requires certain...inspiration.
>>
>>78920009
>tranny
Is this the one that was playing pokemon and wearing a dress at that store early on?
Because I called that shit.
>>
>>78931569
Everyone did
>>
>>78930550
I don't even need to physically fuck, I just want someone I who can be my best friend who I can completely be my pathetic pervert self around without judgement... And we spend the days making art and chasing our dreams together.

Must be nice...
>>
>>78925964
That does seem intentional, specially after the flashback arc and with that sendoff he has between him and his father (Despite their differences, his dad still tries to make it a classy farewell only for him to sour it under his breath). I feel like they did this as a small bait-and-switch: you expected him to recieve the small bit of development Rinnie did but he didn't, because he still tries to maintain himself in his safe space (Just this time, it's replaced with his new nerdy friends) and not attempt to grow into a better person (He still is fine with not finding a job and just live off on his money from the army.).

I'm sure eventually we will have an arc in which his new friends find out how shit he is and drama will ensue.
>>
>>78931498
But their self inserts are from Blaster Nation, not their porn comic. And they have only recently done some BN nsfw stuff.
>>
>>78931909
That's supposed to be yourself anon. You're lonely because you don't even love yourself.
>>
>>78930104
Is it really based on woolie?
>>
>>78932261
I don't know. It might be a coincidence
>>
>>78932676
According to the authors they were TBF fans but the fact that he looks and sounds like Woolie is a subconscious accident that was hilarious when they realised they'd done it.

>>
>>78933363
Also given that reality works solely out of reaction and there is no such thing as random. Even your perception of events are predetermined from the get go, you feeling sad and alone is something that was destined to happen.

There's no one to blame because there was never a chance of it not happening.
>>
>>78928200
>asian girl, black guy

Anyway I thought it was funny when the black guy was like "oh shit I only know videogame soundtrack music" when she asked him what he listened to, since it had been about a year since I mostly stopped listening to anime/videogame music and started listening to American music
>>
>>78934368
You're physics is a couple of decades out of date, anon.

As is my grammar, apparently.

Matt is a retard who is even more beta than my handsome, 6 foot 2 younger brother who manages to squander all his advantages being a stoner fucktard who gets spooked when girls show interest in him

Because Matt got 20,000 fucking dollars from the military and he spends several hundred on fucking hot pockets while bitching he doesn't have a place to stay. With 20,000 dollars in my old college town you could live in one of the various apartment buildings unaffiliated with the university for 20 months, assuming you only spent the money on rent. And of course if you got a roommate and only spent the money on rent it would be 40 months or a little more than 3 years.

This idiot has a car, has a bunch of money but "oh I can't move out of my parents' house because some chick took my spot" how does that make sense? How much can rent be for an apartment in a fucking smallish Louisiana town?

Matt has zero initiative and zero brains even though he more or less has the resources to make everything go his way even without having a job for a while. I just can't fathom how fucking stupid and beta you'd have to be to be 19 with your own car and 20,000 dollars having only worked 6 months doing communications in Haiti and still manage to be a giant beta fuckup for whom taking the initiative is a gargantuan task.
>>
>>78934237
As if Matt could ever get even a tranny to undress in front of him.

The only person he's going to see take off their pants for him is Dan, or maybe Rinnie when she forgets he's in the room.
>>
>>78932737
That's basically as close to admitting it that they'll do.

It's really blatant.

Not that it's bad, but still.
>>
>>78935560
I'm waiting for them to cave in and just throw in the rest of the guys.

No, it is not more interesting than Rinnie and Whatserface sex.
>>
>>78905293
This comic has shown nipples before. Why they won't show Ash's I don't know.
>>
>>78941334
The nipples were limiting their advertising and monetization options, so they edited it out and changed the comic from "R" to "PG-13"
>>
>>78926490
God, you have this so backwards from where I see it.

This is, like, I hate this fucking idiot, let's watch him get blind sided by surprise dick.

The tranny is honestly kind of cute.

When Matt starts making the moves on her this comic will become very popular on /co/.
>>
>>78902121

It concluded. They don't like each other, but Matt moved and they're not each others problems anymore and both kinda got one with their lives.

No big forgiveness or one knocking the other out, but it's realistic.
>>
>>78943478
Oh no.
>>
>>78905178

She's clearly another lesbian.

She's going to reject him then Rinnie's going to fuck the tranny.

Yeah but he can camouflage himself as someone NOT embarrassing as long as he doesn't do or say anything. To strangers he just seems like a normal, somewhat scruffy guy. It's only when you talk to him a little that you realize what an embarrassment he is.
