>>
>>84245095
It's a gruesome death, but a good one. I like how set up this was actually: it's a plausible way for Elan to sacrifice himself for their escape without him suddenly becoming super competent, and it emphasises Toma's message that individual - and small, even - heroism is important. Plus we get an appropriately horrifying scene to show off Captain Hetr and General Bell (still lol at Hetr's name).
>>
>>84245095
He definitely gave better than he got, a dude in his condition not only spit in the eye of the true traitors but seriously fucked up their plans by aiding Toma and co.

>>84245103
The construction of these pages is fucking lit. That regulated first panel, but with the slant and bleedover to the crying child and "what of VALUE", stuff starting to slant more and that division with Elka's hand and Elan's face, and then all the panels fucking clashing together like crazy in the fight, and in the last you can actually sort of read each panel as how Elan's dying perspective diminishes in focus - what he's trying to pay attention to - and the fadeout the white and just the back of the wright. Shit like this reminds me why I love this comic so much.
>>
>>84245269
I'm pretty sure that's a core leech. That white-haired wright is casting something, and Elan's body is dissipating into light.
>>
>>84245316
Makes it look like an explosion killed him though, which is what they're going for.

Fuck man, this setting is pretty grim and sad when you consider all the powers in charge of everything have multifaceted corruption and lies going on.

Well I mean, there's at least one more layer to the Aldish plot than is readily displayed based on the find that Duane was being tailed by assassins even before meeting with Bodie.

So given the parallels between the nations, it's entirely possible.

It's interesting to see the constable's reaction here. The beginning of Masks has her and her colleague joking about the deaths of the townsfolk sent off to war and the lack of quality of those being sent off now. But in the end, she goes to stop Hetr from attacking the town. It's a nice contrast in her character, especially a minor side antagonist character.

A fetish she may have, but I don't think that's what's happening here. One of the things about this comic is that death isn't pretty. Fighting often isn't too pretty either, despite people like Duane and Matty having lofty ideals about duels and what not.

In another story, Elan would make his last remark, and be shown to be holding off some enemies as the heroes escaped. We might see him run through with a sword, cough up a bit of blood, and die with a smile all glorious-like, if at all. In Unsounded, his torso is caved in, and he dies with an agonized look on his face and tears in his eyes as he tries to reach his badge. Only for his hand to be stomped on and his body erased from existence (the one bit of his death we don't actually see on the page). This is the kind of universe where death can be very agonizing and horrific in a lot of ways.

Other stories due this sort of thing too. Attack on Titan frequently has people die in "glorious" stands or attacks, only for their last moments to be full of pants wetting fear, pain, and gruesomeness. Many regretting that they tried to do the heroic thing at all. No one, not even the heroes, really gets to die in a good looking way.

Look up the death dialog for Red Orchestra Rising Storm death sounds, if you have the stomach for it, for a similar thing done with sound. The dialog varies between fear, denial, petty bargaining, bitter rage, and delusion. Gore and ugliness can be a bit edgy, but in the right hands it makes death something with more impact than a sanitized sacrifice.

Yes. If you need more information you should reread the comic. But this time concentrate.

It was his own badge that Elka took from him, then he earned it back through heroically saving Elka from drowning. My feels.

Not only that but Elka had been helping Toma collect those emblems from soldiers in different parts of the world to send home to Toma's daughter for her collection.
Toma was Elans idol and when he met him he was ashamed that he did not meet Toma's standards for a good soldier since he had helped with the conspiracy.
Elans final actions were to sacrifice his life in pursuit of what is right rather than what he is ordered as Toma wanted, and then to try and give his emblem to Elka to give to Toma since he was now worthy Toma's daughter's collection.

No, they all were.
The city constables were paid off by Stockyard to facilitate his shady dealings.
Bell seems to be the person behind the silver being sent to Alderode as a whole, and Hetr is directly under his command. Now that the silver plan has hit a snag, Hetr is apparently going to raze the town in order to eliminate any witnesses to the bullshit that's being perpetrated.

>Duane might be a racist,
He isn't though, his beef is with cresce and to a lesser extent the geffendur relgion, but he has made it clear he doesn't hate the individuals that belong to either he hates them as a collective and with good reason since he has been the victim of both.
Not saying that jibgoism and religious prejudice are justifiable just because you got the short end of the stick but he is not racist.
And as for chauvinist consider that he may be the closest thing to a gender egalitarian in Alderode he loved Sarthos and intended to train Mikalia before she died, also what made him love his wife was that she was intelligent and capable of getting the better of him.

Nah mate, he's the part of Ssael he left behind when he ascended. It's fine that he's a deplorable sap, because Ssael left all of his mortal failings in that empty shell. A reminder of what clings even to those who'd call themselves pure hearted, that a monster lurked even in the greatest of men.

We know for sure that Sette doesn't have a navel or nipples. She tells Starfish that she "doesn't have what he's looking for," him being a vicious childfucker.

This is complicated by the fact that we overhear some of the assassins say "you can't do that to a cleric!" implying a degree of respect to his station, unlikely for Geffendur. Even more so, we learned recently that Duane ended up away from Bastion because the assassin's actually attacked Bastion once they realized he was fucking with Duane's remains. They may have realized he was turning him into a plod, something the Geffendur are fine with but Ssaelits are incredibly against.

It seems likely the assassins were Ssaelit and lied even under brutal torture. Something that may have been easier because they would be telling the torturers exactly what they wanted and expected to hear.

So they were wearing glamours to look like Crescians?

I forgot the darker skinned Aldish are still visibly distinct from the Crescians. And Duane even calls the first one he catches a "Cresce person," in an oddly clunky sentence.

That said, not all of them were Crescian, notably the mysterious masked knife wielder as well as at least one other we see on the right side of the second panel of pic related, and Ssaelism isn't an exclusively Aldish religion. Alderode is just the only place it isn't persecuted. It is still a complication, though, which makes the whole thing murkier. It's pretty implicit Duane's assassination wasn't a straight forward move by Cresce. However, the assassins are a majority Crescian, and it seems odd that so many would willingly volunteer for a suicide mission and brutal torture.

Maybe then the situation was the leaders were Ssaelit and Aldish, while the rest were Crescians who thought this was a hit by their government and they were scapegoated. Otherwise it seems odd the Crescians would give much of a rat's ass about defiling a Ssaelit cleric's corpse. Perhaps what Bastion appeared to be doing was just that objectionable. The "you can't so that to a Cleric" still feels like there has to be an Aldish in there somewhere. We know the silver is a plot by Aldish and Geffendur conspirators and Bastion has been wrapped up in it. Perhaps they were also behind Duane's initial assassination. Though again, Bastion had trouble with them in the past.

I recently stopped following SSSS
Has it picked up/got gud yet?
>>
>>84271769
I was thinking about picking it up. Is it not good?
>>
>>84271816
The art is magical and the backstory and setting are enchanting, but the characters are bland in design from both a written and visual standpoint. Plus the plot is virtually non-existent given how slow shit progresses.
>>
>>84271991
I should add that it does update incredibly often for a narrative-based webcomic.
>>
>>84271998
More often than Unsounded? Because Ashley's update game is sick.
>>
>>84272578
It's like four days a week I think. So yeah, it's 33% more often than Unsounded, but Unsounded is a higher quality in my opinion.
>>
>>84271769
>>84271816
It's one of my favorite webcomics, and yes, the plot seems to be peeking up now that the full cast is around.

I should also add that, although it does update 5 times a week, most of that is just like, scenery porn or minor character development. As far as narrative pace, it is closer to a weekly comic. That's the best way to think about it in my book.
>>
>>84271991
>>84273775
Yeah, I like SSSS, but I can see why it's turning people off. It's the slowest of slow burns and there's nothing particularly memorable about the character dialog we're getting either. As I was thinking about it, I can recall a number of Unsounded lines right of the top of my head, from jokes to dramatic and emotional lines. Part of it may just be due to a higher investment in Unsounded, but I think that is itself driven by the good character lines. Cope's interest in dense literature and media with a bigger focus on character relationships and interaction has really paid off. Even short stories she writes up to answer a question on tumblr are good reads. Getting into stuff like that only helps with creating a work, no matter its level. Even Paranatural has some great lines I can easily recall. Far more on the joking end, and of a very different flavor than Unsounded, but solid foundations of character lines really make a comic.

That said, I think I prefer SSSS to a comic with the opposite problem right now, Girl Genius. Girl Genius has way too much shit going on at once and it pretty much never pays off. The pacing is atrocious, despite things constantly happening. Right now they've just found an expert on time nonsense to help fix their castle town so they can fight the supervillain, only for the immortal, undead super king everyone is constantly jizzing over to come barging back into the story. As soon as it happened, what should've been an "oh shit" moment was instead an "oh god, here we go again." The plot's going to be derailed with nothing to show for it, despite having every reason to actually be interesting.

Both will probably benefit from binge reads in the future, but SSSS is less offensive in the moment.

I think it was Mikaila who called the first dude a "cresce person". Seems like a little kiddish phrase.
>>
>>84270385
I think his daughter said "It's a Cresce person"

But that's a minor note compared to everything else you said.
>>
>>84274985
I used to read Girl Genius as it updated but dropped it a long while before I discovered Unsounded. I just couldn't put up with the updates going live at random times of the day, instead of at consistent times like Gunnerkrigg/Unsounded.
To make matters worse, the shitty site lay out makes it very difficult to find out where you leave off so trying to catch up on GG is annoying and discouraging.
Last time I made an effort to binge and catch up on GG I think I left off somewhere shortly after she got on a train.

It's very likely Bastion was assaulted and cut up like mince by Lemuel. Now, ot's the question if Duane's assassin and Lem are the same... Duane did say Lem kept him in his undeath and helped him escape Alderode. I still a fraternicide theorist. I'm just missing a bit of the puzzle as to why Lem did it but I'm very certain he had a big hand in it.
>>
>>84279212
I don't by for a second that that's Lem. He's missing the Forehead scar.
>>
>>84279212
Well, the obvious and trite reason would be because he wanted to slip Duane's wife his sausage.

He definitely knew something bad was going to happen. Perhaps his brother was a sacrificial lamb - "either we take Duane with your help, or we just kill them all."

>I ache to speak with him (duane). Imagine what he's experienced. A fire sputtering admist ruination...
>>That fire will burn you,
>Aye, He's a dangerous motherfucker. I've come to learn that ALL the adeliers are.
Keep in mind that bastion was saying this while showing the scars left after he got literally backstabbed.

You're an idiot.
It's about presentation.

>>84282466
This wasn't presented in an edgy way. Maybe you'd have a point if a pillar had gone up through his crotch and come out his mouth but no. You sir are the idiot.

If we're talking 20 some minute episodes, how much content would you all say we have if this were to be animated?

How many seasons so far?

That is assuming that the plot is expanded a bit.
If it was just what we have seen in the comic and nothing more not even one

One assumes there would be frequent asides to break up the horrifying violence.

I'm sorry for the break, guys. The upcoming art is pretty cool at least, I think. I tried to make all the destruction look better and read better than the red mess last chapter.

It's fine, this was a big enough story beat to leave me satisfied for quite a while. Elan went out like a hero, his heart did not fail him. Can't wait to see Rahm's reaction to the Crecian army massacring his home town.

>>84282045
Yes, but I don't see how that indicates that Lem was RIGHT THERE DOING IT.

Lem definitely attacked Bastion, but from what we can tell, scarf guy doesn't even look like him. Hairs the wrong color, missing a distinctive scar and eyebrow thing. It doesn't mesh.

>>84286447
You didn't understand the question.
>>
>>84291683
What did I misunderstand?
>>
>>84284611
Well lets think about it.

I'd say that "The Reluctant Escort" could be stretched into a single episode probably, assuming more time is being spent on that one page war flashback than just an instant. Give a little more context to what Duane is feeling than is in the comic.

"Red Berry Boys could probably work as a 23 minute episode with a little compression, but I can't really see it working as 2 episodes, so that's another one. Same with "A Miserable Drizzle"

Combined, I'd say "Convergence" and "The Darkening Sky" could probably make 3 episodes, bleeding events from one into the other.

"A Good Night for Crazy" is easily 2 episodes.

"Phantom Pain" Is an probably 3 episodes. I can't figure out where the breaks would go, but there's a LOT in that chapter.

"Masks" Could probably be like, 1 and a half episodes, in terms of content, but again, it's hard to see how to actually break it up, so probably compressing it down to 1.

"Deadly Nevergreen 1" could probably be 2 episodes, especially with the musical number and pushing in some of Masks maybe.

"Deadly Nevergreen 2",... Well that's a big chapter
Like, I can easily see it being a 4 part season finale.

So in my estimation, where on Episode 19 right now, and S2E01.
>>
>>84292390
Thinking about this last chapter a bit more actually, we might be on Episode 20, S2E02 actually.
