Super Powers, Chapter 5

"'Plot' is overrated and generally accepted theories of story are outdated, having been made in a time of monarchy and aristocracy. There’s no place for it in our egalitarian global community." -- Tom Scioli

Last time, in SUPER POWERS...

I hope that's not a tasteless - and inaccurate - reference to Heath Ledger.

I've never realized how much I've needed to see the lasso as an enthusiastic pet before :)

My response.

Likewise.

Thirded.

Like, yes, if you want to do some thing where the train of thought is perpetually off the rails, fine. Eric Andre does a great job of obliterating the TV show interview format in that sense. But... The above just reads like Scioli took too many notes from the last time he was working with Joe Casey.

He's just praising the execution of a spectacle.

" What’s [Transformers: Age of Extinction] about again? Doesn’t matter. I like it because I’m trying to analyze a movie that deliberately evades and confounds analysis. I thought I’d do a lot more mocking and a lot less learning at this film.. Michael Bay has a skill set and 10,000+ hours of practice not too many people have. His films defy analysis, but I find that’s a good thing. It means you’ve got an elusive quality all your own that’s greater than the sum of your parts. "

Now that's just pretentious as fuck.

Right? Starting to realise it's not just the work of his I don't like.

Shut the fuck up, Scioli,

[jmacq1]

Everytime I read Scioli's hyperbolic nonsense I remain unsure as to whether he actually believes the drivel he speaks or whether or not he's just in on the joke and adopting a persona to clown himself.

Poe's law in action.

That may be the single creepiest Joker panel in years.

I fucking love how this comic just has these characters using four letter swear words like it ain't no thing unconnected to any attempts to be edgy, you know, like real people?

[bj_l]

Boy, Tom Sciolis work is just not for me. I thought it might have just been the Transformrrs stuff, but nope.

[bradygirl_12]

Well, he succeeded in there's not really much of a plot. *rolls eyes*
