>>156082318>Meghan Fitzmartin
Why didn't this happen ten years or more ago? This feels like a mistimed thing. I feel like Worm had a moment but it's come and gone.
>>156082318Oh, I guess I gotta finish this now. My hopes for it are that they don't change the name of the gangsters in the first arc from "Azn Bad Boys", because their name was already perfect.
>>156082450I love this suit so much. She's like Dark Law but better in literally every way.
Okay let's be honestHow long do you think this is ACTUALLY gonna last
>>156082318I need this shit to mog Midnight Spider-Man. Make her some insect queen cosmic horror by the end. Go off script for the sake of the KINO. Nvm Fitzmartin's on the job it's fucked up the ass.
>>156082492Shit like Monstress has taken a decade to hit 60+ issues. Unless this book sells like crazy or gets picked up for an adaptation it's wrapped by 36.
>>156082518I'm an outsider to Worm (an Overlander, you might say), but every Worm fan I know is very obsessive over it and I know through osmosis that there's a huuuge breadth to the original written verse, with lots of sequels. Is 32 issues going to cut into any of those or can we not even expect to get out of the fully-acclaimed story?
>>156082518>36That is generous and you know it
>>156082318Porn
>>156082571>Gets a owl womb tattoo
>>156082539I have no idea where the story will be at 30 - 36 issues in. Assuming the issues will be regular 20 - 24 page comics, I don't see the story hitting act two unless they're just focused on speeding through the broader tale without focus on the many little details. I think you'd need like 50 - 60 chapters or I could be overselling it hard since you can cover a lot of details through the visuals and hope the readers get what they're trying to convey.>>156082550Lol I know. I wanted to be charitable
>>156082627Again, it'd probably would work better as a straight to trade series
What if instead of bugs mind control Taylor got big boobs (and super durability I guess)
>>156082636You can cover more ground each release but Worm is way too niche to take the risk
>>156082318Literally the first thing that came to mind when I saw this coverFor God's sake, it's even yellowSurprised I'm the first here to do thisJokes aside, I am looking forward to this, sounds interesting, I just hope it gets decent art beyond just the covers
>Wildbow is betting on his fanbase knowing what pull lists are let alone what an LCS is
Now that Worm is a comic and thus freed from its constraints of being a textual only experience. Chances Taylor will appear on Death Battle?
>>156082816If they do this one, pretty goodhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bfs-FzqZeG4
I just hope they don't paint shit through a modern lens. I don't want Kaiser to be Trump and the E88 are MAGA. I don't want All Capes Are Bastards. I don't want to see Worm is woke now videos
>>156082816>>156082844Keep in the containment thread
>>156082539It really only has one sequel, Ward.There's a new single chapter spinoff called Wake that just got released with the announcement.Outside of that, the rest is mostly just Q&A stuff, and some tabletop style games the author has run in the setting, as well as an occasional fake in-setting forum RP thing he used to run. All very minor, brief glimpses into the world.Part of the reason it is so expansive is the interludes. Worm frequently has chapters from the perspective of random characters, sometimes characters the viewer hasn't met yet, or are otherwise very minor to the plot. Worm itself is completely standalone, but it is long. 1.6 times the length of the compiled harry potter books in word count, for something comparable. So I honestly don't think 32 issues would get very far at all unless it skips the details, and the details are where it shines.But it'd surely be planned to get through a sort of raid boss scene that basically sums up the first mega-arc of the story.
>>156082784I checked with my LCS and they said I wasn't the first person to ask, so there's some buzz already.>>156082882Wildbow doesn't really do that. He has been on a break this year (mostly) but he has made a lot of stuff since Worm and none of it is really a caricature of a real life celebrity or incident.So it comes down to if the writers of the comic respect his work enough to adapt it and not just use it as a lens to write their own stuff through. But he has rejected a number of offers before so I'd assume he trusts this group.
>>156083007>So it comes down to if the writers of the comic respect his work enoughFitzmartin is the one who decided Tim Drake should be gay despite decades of him being straight
>>156083058Bi
>>156082450looks like white Vriska.
>>156082492God it would be so funny if the comic went on indefinite hiatus after Leviathan
>>156082318I'm excited and I hope it will be successful mostly because I want to see adaptations of his much better works. Specifically Pale.
>>156082882Wildbow already has a list of changes he'd like to make to worm which is why it's never been edited and published. Not really for woke reasons but because he was a much weaker as a writer 15 years ago. He'll definitely make sure that a certain characters sexual assault is a lot more clear for this adaptation.
>>156083647are you talking aboutshadow stalker and regent?
>>156082318I haven't heard about worm in like 20 fucking yearswhy is it coming back
>>156083416Gay. They'll never have him show interest in a woman again
>>156082318If this adaptation ends up selling well enough, how long would it take to cover the entire novel?
>>156082354Homestuck just got an adaptation too. And YA shit like Harry Potter, Percy Jackson. Fucking Naruto is getting a LA movie. old shit is whats popping apparently
>>156084057I have to imagine they're going to condense it a lot. There's around 300 chapters of the novel and they get really long in the last third.
>>156082816>>156082844She should fight the other bug-themed vigilante with bad publicity
>>156084125Seriously? The cockroach guy? Hauler was it? Get real, They're nowhere near thr same weight class with all the utter bullshit Khepri gets to.
>>156084148doesn’t db usually use the current popular version of a character?
>>156083776A lot of somebodies must have been wanting to capitalize (super fucking late to the party lol) on the trend of popularized gritty superhero media from the likes of the Boys and Invincible and they must have scrounged around for the next best option with worm predating them both (The show versions I mean)
>>156083776>>156084191This was explained on his blog you twitsThe editor was a fan and reached out for an adaptationThis isn't planned out for Hollywood
>>156082370fuck I read Worm ages ago and it took me until now, until this fucking post, to realize than "Azn" meant "Asian"
>>156082746you're not the first one buddy, someone already made a similar meme last thread
TEN MORE YEARS OF AMY DISCOURSETEN MIRE YEARS OF BBC JOKESTEN MORE YEARS OF SHOOTING BABIES
>>156083767He means making sure his Amy retcons are blatant
>>156082318No way they're adapting all of it
>>156082450>main character with a more interesting power than punch hardI'm in
>>156082450Literally built for it
>>156084919How do you feel about baby murder and dick destruction (gore)
Spider Man x Skitter Crossover Ship
>>156082354Because a fan who turned into someone in the industry finally had the power to adapt it for the love of the material instead of JUST money. Of course there is the money aspect, but lets not forget Invincible started in 2003. This shit takes a long ass time and, luckly, grimy capeshit is on the up-and-up, with The Boys ending and Invincible turning boring/poorly animated... maaaaybr this might get traction. Maybe. We'll talk again if anyone remembers this 20 years from now in the animation industry (and if John is still alive by then)>>156085482You just KNOW its gonna have to be Miles too.
>>156084859the saddest words i have ever read
>>156082370Hopefully because its a comic and not TV they at least can keep E88 and Purity Interlude as is, if they even get around to covering Interludes.
>>156082318The editor and Wildbow better be torturing Fitzmartin with power tools every time she even vaguely hints at writing anything with contempt for the story like she did with DCYJ.
>>156082323I still can't get over the reveal that the events in the book happen because a brooding mysterious cosmic entity cucks Scion
>>156082571>>156082596>Depressed teenager who constantly gets bullied, has mommy issues, absent father and constantly looks to others for emotional support God it would be so easy to make Taylor dependent on your dick.
>write a perfect woobie female character that people end up waifuing and feeling bad for>”nooo you’re not supposed to like her, she’s evil! I’ll have to retcon some stuff to really drive home how this stressed out girl who has a single bad crash out is actually the worst person ever in this setting of evil pricks!”Wildbow has some problems.
>>156085946Taking advantage of Grue while he was still mentally recovering from having his entire internal body structure turned into wallpaper is pretty evil.
>>156086124He enjoyed it.
>>156086196I'm gonna jam my fingers up your ass and probe your prostate and if you get a boner you're not allowed to tell the police because you clearly enjoyed it
>>156082844>>156082816>>156084125Taylor is impossible to use for death battle because of the nature of her shard. She has never once gotten a solo win. The exception being maybe Alexandria, but that was questionable considering the circumstances. Even Khepri by herself was only strong because of the exact combination of capes within her greatly diminished range allowing her to go global. The whole "no outside help" rule shuts her down completely, cause then all she has is her bugs, and those die so fucking fast once she meets anybody with the slightest bit of competence.
>>156086208Woah!
>>156086232Her very first match-up was entirely just her with bugs and she took out a guy who fist-fought Endbringers. The only thing she specifically needs is the element of surprise to swarm someone's crevices.
>>156086268She relies on the narrative to bend backwards for her and for her enduro be retarded or for Lisa to tell her what to do like the good little sub that she is.
Who’s the biggest rape bait in Worm?
>>156082492The author will get bored after the Leviathan fight and drop the story.
>>156086454Sophia Is made for brutal BWC correction
>How Panacea is going to enter the narrative
>>156082492Story ends when Leviathan shows up as a homage to the fanbase who mostly stopped reading there
>>156086454Emma.
>>156086593This
>>156086454Noelle, Bonesaw or Dinah.
>>156086571I stopped reading when Imp joined the team and the Undersiders broke into the Wards HQ and raped Sophia for seemingly no reasonNot for any moral outrage reasons, I was just bored. Timeskips kill stories for me.
>>156082816We're getting a Death Gauntlet where Taylor kills every evil Superman expy because they all need to breath
>>156087061>Timeskips kill stories for meThis
>>156087079>Taylor can Kill Goku because he needs to breath in space
>>156086593The most correct answer
>>156087061What rape? I don't remember sophia getting raped?
>>156085921Many many people have thought this! They write much fanfiction about it on QQ.
>>156082450I’m not feeling the dark lipstick. Like Taylor is supposed to be a very plain looking wallflower type, she’s not into gothy makeup or anything.
>>156087406Ok but imagine that lipstick all over your cock?
>>156082450Was her armor that spikey? I feel like removing that would improve the design a lot.
>>156086454Greg
>>156087395He means when Regent bodyjacked Sophia and ruined her life.
>>156082844They should do scion vs the plutonian
>>156087471Oh that yea it was pretty fucked up
>>156082696>I will now read your web novel
>>156087474scion wins that
>>156082696>the Master ability to control all mammaries within a 4 block radiusA Master 10 ability
>>156086454It's Pairan or whatever the stuffed animal girl is, followed by Bonesaw
>All this talk about sexUm, you guys do know these characters are underage children, right?
>>156087680So? Its a good matchup
>>156087786>Dinah is the best waifu baitAnd... I AGREE!
>>156086472The time honoured tradition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAzCQws2OoQ
>>156087970Idk seems easy. Just let him kill shitload of capes and/or fuck up the city. It's not that hard.
>>156087786Cauldron lowered the age of consent to make sure enough parahumans are bred for Golden Morning. Trust me bro.
>>156087970>>156088047I read a fanfic recently that has the protagonist start immediately after Leviathan and I thought that was a tidy solution Honestly I'm tired of Bakura and Oni Lee being the big bads of every fanfic because canon must be followed and fanfics never get past act one.
>>156087786isnt that why QQ got made or got popular?
>>156088161It was made for wonderful posts like this
>>156088063The funniest and most vile worm fic I've ever seen involved a SI with Flashes powers. Can't remember the finer details but it starts off with the SI killing simurgh in the first chapter, then making his way to Cauldron and offering to solve their Scion problem if they make him a renowed hero, build him a museum in his honor, and let him build a harem comprised of the teenage cast. All while wearing Barry Allen's face.
>>156088161Pretty much, QQ is basically SB but allows smut, no matter how degenerate.
>LolviathanNow imagine writing Simurgh encounter. Most people will forget about the part where she can just scream at you, and turn you into a pawn in some 4D underwater chess plan.
>>156082318I wish my story was successful. The success of others makes me angry
>>156082318>>156082450Built for getting cum shot in her glasses+hair
>>156088356Why is Leviathan such a big deal anyways? Leviathan in canon is just a big splashy fish that causes some flooding and gets chased off and the only main character deaths were Rachel's dogs. If a group of plucky teens with zero brute powers can survive Leviathan then so can your OC who has All For One or a Green Lantern ring or whatever hax you gave him.

>>156088596Heck yeah punch a nazi!
>>156088596>Lisa watching from outside in the rain
People think Bitch fucks her dogs but she actually doesn’t (she’s asexual) but what she does do is let her dogs rape people when he busts dog fighting rings.
>>156088344Link?
>>156088792She's not aesexual, she fucks one of her minions, I can't remember which, on a completely emotionless, purely physical basis.Her award-winning romantic advice to Taylor is "Have you tried telling him you want to fuck?"
>>156084905Maybe
>>156086268She sucker punched him with her strongest attack(brown recluse swarm) and she still would have died if it wasn't for Rachel saving her at the end.
>>156088337......context?
true or false?
>>156089637It's true. Wildbow even comments on this.
>>156088344This I support
>>156088344i've probably seen more vile stuff
>>156088344I remember seeing this streamer/gacha QQ fic and people in the thread kept saying stuff akin to "I can't wait for Emma to get "punished" with a horse!"NSFW-column fic so im sure you can guess what that meant

>>156090849You don't know the hell this board is about to experience with this shit finally getting a comic and now being on topic.
>>156090849Less than 10% of the worms fanbase has actually read worm. A majority learn about it via fanfiction. So it makes sense for most of the threads discussion to revolve around worm (smut)fanfiction
march is cool i wish she actually showed up in worm
The ama with the editor is happening. Looks like they're aiming to do the whole story in 60 issues.
>>156091305Seems like the pace is going to be pretty breakneck if they're covering 3 arcs in 6 issues.
>ABB getting renamedfree space on the bingo board
>>156091455I don't really get that one. I'm wondering if its more due the name sounding like the real life street gang ABZ because I knew plenty of Asian people in the early 2000s who threw around azn pretty regularly.
>>156091327They might be speeding through some of the early content to get to the big fights earlier.
>>156091527But those are the best parts?
>>156091527>Speeding to LeviaKEK!Brave and inspiringI can only imagine what fanfic material comic only readers will make
>>156091527>Lung fight>Bank>Bakuda>Art gallery>LeviathanTHE END
>>156091024I can admit that I only read up to like, the bank scene I think? I keep meaning to continue but never get around to it, and instead just read fanfics.
>>156091024will have canon designs for taylor and other chracters mean more smut?
they had an AMA today: https://www.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/1xh3qyk/worm_comic_adaptation_ama/
>>156088344I remember that one I think! If I remember right he also made a bunch of Cyberpunk lingo common tongue and his cape name was Sandevistan!And then the author at some point deleted the entire story, unless I'm thinking of a different one, but that's the only flash power one I remember.
>>156090384Aegis the backup protag if Taylor failed the Endbringer diceroll, with the redundant biology power that lets him survive and adapt to most wounds was turned into a finely ground marinara instantly and washed into the storm drains when Leviathan, if I recall right, backhanded him into a concrete wall.
Aegis wouldve been a better protagonist
>>156082318I want people to make R34 of Emily Piggot. I'm serious.
>>156087786Yeah. This wouldn't be an issue if the fandom was normal and didn't go full purity test. Every action causes a reaction.
>>156093339His power sucks ass, his flight isn't even good. The only means of munchkining his power I can imagine is if implanted biotech or whatever counts as *his body* and so it still works after it should normally break or something. Which would lead into him getting fucked with by Bonesaw during the S9 arc and him just kind of tanking her biotinkering and coming out of it just objectively better or something. Literally only means I can imagine him being protag material. (Though I have no clue how you justify beating Scion at the end unless you just make him way more mentally fucked so he gives up faster)
>>156093346People are finally going to realise she is white and not an Amanda Waller expy. Also going to make people aware that Coil is actually black.
>>156093389Coil is the black KING we all needed
>>156089637Mostly false, but accurate description of a very certain group.
I'm not really feeling the spikes on her new costume design. This fanart is peak skitter to me.
>>156082816>textual only experienceThis has always been a good thing right
She shouldn't have make-upThat's stupid
>>156093448That seems a lot closer, I've seen some better ones but there's a line between fitting and unfitting and that line puts the spike costume on the wrong side.
>>156085272>baby murder Fine >dick destruction (gore)I'm out
>>156093448Sadly WB decided to continue being a contrarian. Every design for the comic will be done with not being like fanart
>>156086538I'm just glad Miura probably saw this before his body gave out
>>156093389I'm like Lex Luthor except I want 40 vanilla cakes, not just chocolate
>>156093501>WB decided to continue being a contrarianimagine what he will do the story
ARE YOU READY>FOR AMY DISCOURSETO GO>M A I N S T R E A M ?
>>156093557God, one can only imagine how horrible Amy will look to get the message across.
>>156093557there won't be any discourse she'll be the worst monster rapist from the beginning
>>156093596They'll show her secretly doing all those things she threated to do to criminals
>>156089637it makes sense when you consider the fact that Taylor is a pretty "male" character and when most of her close relationships are with women instead of men
>>156093591I'm expecting Gooner jak edits of her, especially if it ever hits animation or live action. Though with it being IDW an animated version is more likely if it goes gangbusters.
I can't wait to see how they draw Lisa
>>156093557Wildbow retcon addiction probably won't be helped by having some industry demons whispering in his ear. Fortunately by making the story unrecognizable he might kill it once and for all, and get a paycheck out of it too.
>>156093389I just picture white Amanda Waller, to be honest
>>156093681She has to be drawn for maximum correctionAlso, I hope they keep her as a bitch. Because that's what she is
>>156093694The editor said she's her favourite character in the ama so I'm sure she'll be kept consistent.
WaitWhy doesn't Amy just fleshwarp Victoria into a male with a randomised genetic structure so that her crush is neither lesbian or incest? Is she stupid?
I hope they properly show how much of a dumbass taylor is when she's not kicking ass.>Says she "did research" didn't know Armsmaster, one of the most famous tinkers currently alive, who she owned merch of, was a tinker.>Thinks she can double agent and spy on the villain team with the fucking social discernment thinkerI could go on, but these were some of the most hilarious ones, and goes to show she probably just scrolled Vs. threads on PHO before saying fuck it and going for it.
>>156093731Yes, she thinks any use of her power (WHICH IS A FULL TINKER ABILITY AND NOT JUST BIOKINESIS) is bad and evil which is why she only uses it to heal physical injuries and diseases, this ropes into why she goes crazy later because she's a tinker who has never tinkered a single time in the few years she's had her power, and not tinkering makes tinkers go crazy, which combined with Vicky's aura (Fuck you wibbles you know that was part of the intention) further dialed up her crazy until she just exploded after Jack said like, a few sentences at her. She could have been completely fine if she just shoved biopods to heal people in the hospitals instead of doing manual labor to punish herself and then just make a bio sex doll or something out of a tree to get the hormones back down. But she didn't trust herself to do that so she didn't.
>>156093448bug butt
>>156093789>She could have been completely fine if she just shoved biopods to heal people in the hospitals instead of doing manual labor to punish herself and then just make a bio sex doll or something out of a tree to get the hormones back down.ehem. Anon, don't you know? BIOTINKERS BAD
>>156093694>keep her as a bitch. Because that's what she isHonestly goes to show how fucking desperate for friendship Taylor was that a complete bitch like Lisa is her bestie.
>>156093831That was part of it too yeh. Though if she had any sense she would have looked at what she was actually capable of, realized "Oh, I'm S Class" and then realize she could just fix Biotinker rep all by herself, but she was too gay, and teenager, and histrionic to do that.
>Father, who's an actual villain, is relatively normal>Daughter is insane/retarded
>>156093900Blame her insane retard 'mom' projecting her issues onto a scared child
>>156093900Part of what the narrative is doing there is that Marquis had his whole thing with rules, and lines he wouldn't cross as a mob boss, and then Amy basically genetically inherited that same sort of thing... but she sucked at it, whether that was because of her upbringing, or just her being genetically predisposed to being a fuckup, who can say, you can't say it was Jack though since Marquis if I recall right actually ran off the 9 himself a few times, along with the Teeth, bro was busted strong with his "grow bones" power.
>>156093900Lack of sister pussy will do that
>>156093926Sarah deserves a lot of the blame too. If you go back and read Carol's interlude its incredibly fucked up how much she's railroaded by her sister into adopting Amy despite how adamantly she was against it.
>>156082318i tried reading worm, and barely made it past the first interlude. i wanted to like it, but i could barely tough out the introductionon one hand, it seems like a fine enough amateur work. the writing and pace felt decent. some of the details are neat, like the logic and process behind taylor making a costume by micro-managing spider populations. on the other hand its some of the most pandering horrendous dogshit ive ever readthe teen drama bullshit and the rush to explain superhero minutia felt really forced and awkward. the existence of the azn boys, and their leader openly boasting about shooting children, and taylors reaction. i was holding out to see where the story would go, but once taylor made it to the supervillain clubhouse and talked to all the angsty teen edgelords i couldnt stomach it. am i retarded, or is the first step of the story really cringey? if it gets better, when?
>>156094073That first arc is cringe but it picks up fast and the whole subplot with her bullies basically falls to the wayside as she outgrows them as a person. Lung talking about shooting children isn't some mustache twirling villian shit its him telling his gang to go out and handle the "kids" that just robbed his casino.
>>156094073Taylor is supposed to just sort of suck ass and not know much of anything at the start, you soon discover that when it came to research, or general understanding of social interaction Taylor is an absolute brainlet, it gets better later though, yeah, and eventually you can see she has an immense talent in kicking people's ass, which she herself never really... internalizes? Not for a very long time at least, which is part of her character as a sort of learned helplessness and internalized bad self image from the bullying.
>>156094180Worm makes a lot more sense when you realize all capes are theater kids, then Taylor comes in and doesn't treat talking as a free action.
>>156094414Lisa's whole cops and robbers thing was just her trying to manipulate Taylor and succeeding. Even she learns that capes are generally playing for keeps pretty soon after.
>>156094440Ehh, as far as I can discern it's something of an inbetween, PRT not going as balls to the walls as they can so they have villains on staff for Endbringer battles. The "Unwritten Rules" are just a general extension of the Endbringer Truce, and focused more on heroes playing fair enough that villains are still willing to go, along with villains playing sorta fair enough that lethal force doesn't get used. The stronger capes or people who don't give as much of a shit won't care at all about the "rules" though, yeah. Depends on their goals, how much support they have if they have a gang or something, etc. As far as I can tell it varies.
>>156094414It's a fun bit of irony that Cauldron is composed of a bunch of "serious people" who just LARP as mature adults in office clothes
Do you guys think Jack Slash (and the rest of the 9) will become a popular villain?
>>156094729Bonesaw, Grey Boy; probablyI would say Siberian but isn't she being turned into a male? (Well she was already a projection so whatever)Jack Slash got it in the bagDepends if it even gets that far though
>>156094729He would have been a tumblr sexy man 15 years ago. I doubt they'll make him attractive in the comic, the whole idea of his power giving him false confidence would be ruined.
>>156094729Bonesaw sweepMaaaaybe powerscalers will latch onto SiberianJack Slash could flip either way, hooking the edgy sexyman crowd by being an entertaining psycho or being seen as a complete joke with zero actual feats because his Shard does everything for him. Everyone else is a litwho.
Oh it's gonna be so fucked.
>>156094870So long Skidmark. You were fun
>>156094870Wow, I can't fucking believe they just straight up removed the ABB! It was certainly a choice to rewrite them as Empire members.
>>156094932I assume the ABB will get more racist. The idea that there is just this homogenous Asian gang full of different ethnicities that are pretty xenophobic towards each other in real life was always laughable.
>>156094932>>156094965They are most definitely removing the sex slaves.
>>156094894>>156094870Shit they could just get rid of the Merchants entirely.
>IDW was super concerned about the ABB for the early issues>In contrast, Wibbles was basically instantly chomping at the bit and asking for full video calls to talk about the Amy stuff which the IDW people didn't really care about compared to the early stuff like the ABB(Is it too naive of me to hope that someone on staff is trying to angle on keeping Vicky's aura as a plot point for Amy's breakdown and just making it a generally fucked up situation in general rather than having Amy just be a turbo freak for no reason? Honestly the plot point doesn't feel too radioactive for me and compared to some shit The Boys did it's a good tragedy that can shank people with. Though I doubt Wibbles would ever agree to it unless IDW managed to fuck him over a bit with a contract or something.)I hope they keep any retooling of the early gangs minor, maybe with playing up the hostage angle on the ABB from the terror of Lung and Bakuda's bombs or something, and dialing up the E88's hate crimes or something like that, rather than twisting shit around too much. Who knows.>>156094983Eh they'd need to figure out a different way to do that scene where Scrub gets his powers in the fight pit though, since he's kind of important to the plot.
>>156094870>They're getting removed to make more room for the true protagonist of Worm...
>>156094965It made sense in the story because it was a bunch of different gangs conquered and held together by Lung.
But yeah it seems like IDW didn't really think much about the Amy thing whereas Wildbow is traumatized by the entire plot point. As seen in how Ward basically revolves around it. :v
>>156094992Taylor owes him sex btw
>>156095007He was nice to her. She has to reciprocate
I do think it'll be good if they add more "filler" capes around Brockton, so it's not JUST the Gangs and the PRT. Add a few solo acts like Circus or whatever, wandering capes coming in and out of town. Though they might not have time for that if they're trying to speed through the story.
>>156094870doesn't wildbow already have sensitivity readers?
>>156095212Save it for the vestigial expanded universe of sidequels. (And fanfictions) They want to do the ‘whole’ thing in 60 issues. There is no time for anything but main plot being done over a million miles an hour.
>>156084844Amy raping Victoria was the morally correct thing to do. The S9 left and stopped murdering everyone in Brockton because she did it. Panacea is a hero in this household.Really it’s hilarious watching people’s brains overload trying to think of a counter argument for that. Because they’re busy being literal sheep and saying rape is bad, when this rape in particular got contrived to save thousands of people.
>>156094729I hope so, Jack is based. A villain who uses talk-no-jutsu and the power of friendship as his literal superpower, but for evil purposes is just an amazing idea.
>>156095430>Amy raping Victoria was the morally correct thing to do.bruh
God I hope IDW is able to at least somewhat get the Victoria Aura thing in with Amy's whole deal, Wildbow got fucked up about it because people were blaming victoria, but I think if it's framed as "This was fucked up and not really any one persons fault but also Amy could have stopped this herself at literally any time but was too fucked up to do so" it'll go over a lot better. It does honestly kind of feel like it from the differences I'm seeing in what IDW wants to tweak compared to what Wildbow wants to tweak. It would genuinely be a service to the Worm setting if Wildbow loses some grip on it.
>>156095466This is genuinely in the text, Wildbow just is busy trying to pretend that he didn’t set up the world’s most pointlessly edgy trolley problem, and so blames Amy instead.
>>156095466It was the rape that saved Brockton!Cauldron would approve of making the hard choice for the good cause.
>>156095515I really don’t get his whole fit over it, like sure blaming Vicky for it completely is wrong, but trying to say it was all just Amy is basically him saying Carol was right and Amy’s evil villain blood was always gonna win out despite them raising her as a hero, which is arguably worse for an author to declare.
>>156095646If I recall right it was partially because he was thinking "Oh no, they're blaming the victim not the rapist! That's rape apologism!" and having a social justice seizing moment, as well as *I* think because it had an implication that Amy was only "gay" because she was brainwashed or something. Which honestly he could get around by just saying "She was always gay, but also the aura dialed that in more to make her Victoria-Sexual". Either way, I think he saw it all entirely as too "anti-woke" and just overcorrected in the other direction SUPER hard.
Okay I never read past Leviathan and only know fanfic osmosis. What's all this about Amy raping Vicky and Amy being in the wrong? Doesn't Vicky pump her with "rape me" aura every second they're together? Doesn't her family know Vicky has Master powers and bribed PRT to label her rapebait aura as a shaker effect because that's bad publicity? It sounds like Vicky mindraped Amy into physical raping her if you ask me.Also why does raping Vicky get the S9 out of town?
All the people who've said "eh I'll get to it eventually" in response to my Worm recommendation have changed their tune ever since the announcement. The universe is cool. People have fun talking about powers classifications and trigger events. The fandom is extremely weird and off-putting so hopefully the influx of normies tempers their autism.
>BROWBEATI HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN BEYOND ALL BELIEF.
>>156095706>Doesn't Vicky pump her with "rape me" aura every second they're together?My understanding is that he made an oblique reference in a word of god comment outside of the story that implied the aura *might* have been fucking with her head, but then he changed his mind later and said it was actually all Amy.
>>156095706Been a while since I read but if I recall correctly, Bonesaw wanted Amy for the nine, and after a few chapters of that she's just completely mentally fried, and then Vicky comes down to hug her at her lowest with her aura flaring and Amy basically without thinking rewires Vicky's brain to love her. Vicky runs off, later during more Slaughterhouse shit Vicky gets wrecked by Crawler, and Amy goes to healer (note, this is also what Amy's Trigger Event literally was), and during her absolute lowest, gets ahead of herself and doesn't just heal Vicky, and instead has a prolonged biological modification sex orgy with her body while every other character is busy doing fights. Eventually Amy comes back to herself, Vicky is a mass of limbs and faces and whatever else, and Amy basically just walks right up to the strongest Cape nearby and begs to be put in the Birdcage RIGHT NOW, because she just cannot face Vicky right now and her brain is just not letting her fix her. Bla bla bla, whatever.So it was a combination of Amy having been psychologically tortured by the 9 for an extended period, Vicky's aura, and Amy having already been IMMENSELY repressed both sexually and power use wise, along with an extended time where nobody was watching her. Wibbles for some reason just wants Amy to be at fault here and not *also* Jack (who has Joker-Psychosis talk-no-jutsu) and Vicky, with her pavlov aura.
>>156094965It's guaranteed the ABB is gonna get even MORE racist. Nobody really mentions how Brockton Bay's worldbuilding for the gangs is just resurrecting ancient capeshit tropes, it's so funny.>ABB: Yellow Peril supervillains in the vein of Fu Manchu and his successors>E88: Nazis>Merchants: drug-runners, thieves, and generic stupid trashy criminalsAnd we can't forget how China and the entirety of South America and Africa are dominated by parahuman criminals.
>>156095696It reads to me like a retelling of one's own experience with a legitimately evil sibling, and not sticking the landing with the writing. I know the feeling, because while my brother never raped me, he did ruin my life, after just randomly going psychotic one day and whoever there was before just never came back.He cucked me the first time I got in a relationship, he would make my sister cry every night on purpose, and like he got into these psychotic fits where he would force me to watch videos while he rambled at me about the hidden meaning in the symbolism in them. He would also devise at least a hundred different ways to humiliate in front of my friends and strangers, and he would harass me in public bathrooms to were I have issues peeing in a urinal to this day. He was very much strong then me and would use force whenever he felt like it.The entire way she acted and how she manipulated her family afterwards, and even before and all her excuses map onto his behaviors to a t. The problem is that worm is the first thing he wrote and he jumped the gun on his emotional money shot. Because writing well is genuinely difficult, and if you fuck up even a little bit, a lot of people mis the subtext, and details you aren't even aware of writing.
>>156095706> Also why does raping Vicky get the S9 out of town?Jack promised he’d leave if she did it. Dude was in it for the lols, and this was the funniest shit he could think of.
>>156095899I'm mostly just putting my hopes on IDW guarding against any retard decisions he wants to do with it now that he has a chance to "edit" it. Even if they're gonna throw in their own shit without a doubt. Still, as long as they don't overcorrect too much it should be fine, especially since for all intents and purposes the writing is already done, it'd be a tough sell for them to add shit in. Now, for any *spinoffs* they do. That's where they'll really pump in the shit. Or maybe they'll remix shit even more for an animated series, who knows.
>>156095646I always got the impression that Wildbow backpedaled on Amy being a tragic monster for the same reason he backpedaled on Taylor's ending. I think he lost a lot of empathy for his characters once he started getting healthier, and stopped being able to emotionally identify with the more fucked up characters of the story.It's kinda disappointing because part of Worm's appeal is how even though there are clear lines between Good and Evil, the story shines best when it humanizes the cast rather than go "durr that guy Good, that guy Bad, no messiness allowed".
>>156082318I hope for cute Amy art.Also Taylor suffering art.
>>156094729Jack is just gonna repeat the same arc that the fandom had with him, but on a bigger scale:>wow, he's so cool!/meh, what an edgelord>HOLY SHIT>he's actually kinda interesting...>wait>LMAOOOO WHAT A FRAUD>poor Jack...but he's still a FRAUD LMAOOO
>>156093932New Wave was pretty fucking stupid to go after the one villain who had rules and honor and was capable of chasing off the Teeth and the S9, instead of trying to focus on, oh I dunno, the LITERAL Nazis the city has?
>>156095965God, the fandom is going to become mainstream, I can see it now. And new fans will already have ALL THE FANFICS, ALL OF THEM. Oh god it's gonna be so much worse than when a popular manga gets an anime release. And just fucking imagine if Worm *DOES* get the Invincible treatment, that shit'll be fucked. We'll see meme tiktok edits of Dinah Alcott or fucking Vista over phonk. I can't even process that shit. Fuck, if this does well we may very well see the Leviathan fight animated.>>156095995It is SO funny to me that Jack only gets by because his Shard cheats so hard for him, it's like a paypig to their vtuber, Jack is Broadcast's oshi, it loves how cool and evil he is.
>>156096012>local wealthy Anglo family assaults a local Danish-Scandinavian business owner and single father >local Nazis are free to do as they please...there's a good WW2 joke there, I just know it
>>156096035ONE MILLION MORE GREGFICS
>>156095894China technically isn't dominated by criminals, the Yangbang are basically just China's CIA/NSA/fucking everything rolled into one. Also they apparently kicked out the commies and the Imperial family is in charge, also Russia is still the USSR
>>156096035So long as at least one of those new fans recognizes that based Panacea is the HERO of Brockton Bay and never did anything wrong in her life it's fine.
>>156096080This is the TRUE protagonist of Worm.Taylor literally owes him sex and WE all hope the comic fixes this plothole.
>>156096096At best Greg gets promoted to being the Jay to Sparky's Silent Bob
>>156096035>Coil will constantly be compared to Diddy>Lung becomes POTENTIAL VILLAIN>delusional Aegis posting about the timeline in which he became the protagonist>Bakuda becomes the new femcel wojak >people start lusting after Emily Piggot>SAVE ME BROADCAST-CHAN>jcm2 will go nuts over Vista >Golem gets his time to shine>"you needed worthy opponents" becomes the hot soundbyte of the month
>>156096146>Entity Powerscaling go wowowow!Crazy since they actually do have multiversal feats
>>156096035Wait till powerscalers find out about Contessa
>>156096146I can already see the "You needed worthy opponents" tiktok edit.And don't forget, comparing Amy's power to Mahito from JJK.
>>156096096I'm a Greg/Sophia guy myself. I like that one fic where Greg has the power to fix everything and he does just that.The ideal guy for Taylor is like a tall hunky librarian who's angry like her father but passionate like her mother. Taylor's like Spider-Man but she's also like Clark Kent (but not), so her hypothetical "perfect boyfriend" is like Lois Lane crossed with Mary Jane Watson. I sound retarded, but I've put a lot of thought into this.
>>156096146What do you think will be the viral shock moment that gets memed to hell like that dog in FMA? My bet when Taylor gives Aster the ol teller treatment. But I could also see it being when she blinds that one endbringer guy in front of the larping fundies.
>>156096096>Not pairing the human puppy with the girl who's all about dogswack.
>>156096213Leviathan's entrance if handled well would be legendary.

>>156096146>Coil will constantly be compared to DiddyOh god, he even keeps a kid in a basement.
>>156096174>>156096169I can't wait for all the Cuck Scion memes and the rise of people cracking "Taylor's mom dies on her phone" jokes.I do hope the comic actually pulls from Ward and does something with the implication that Contessa MIGHT have had something to do with Taylor's mom's death, if it doesn't turn out that she was Taylor's mom all along.>>156096229I KNEW THERE WAS SOMEONE ELSE WHO UNDERSTOOD THE VISION
>>156096242>Leviathan shows up>Taylor dies>Browbeat comes out of NOWHERE as the protagonist who was setting things up behind the screenIt's too good so it won't happen
>>156096262>I KNEW THERE WAS SOMEONE ELSE WHO UNDERSTOOD THE VISIONMY BROTHER!
>>156096213Aster happens way too late to be any kind of shock and is honestly pretty morally justified considering what was about to happen. You're probably right about her cutting out Lung's eyes. That's the first time in the story you really get an outside perspective on her ultraviolence with Sundancer's reaction.
>>156096146>Lung becomes potential villainThat's all he ever was. Ignoring that his power is literally 'potential The power' the only time we see Lung he's telling his mooks to go deal with the thieves that stole from his casino, then after oni lee breaks him out of prison he just wants revenge on skitter for rotting his dick off, so she takes his eyes this time and he gets arrested again. He then kills bakuda in the birdcage. TLDR: He only ever acts in self-defence from the mean girl boss (till he gets thrown in prison and rips Bakudas head off for killing his men)>JCM2 will go nuts over vistaAnd i'll nut over that
>>156096277>Taylor dies>Camera shifts to Aegis>Aegis instantly also dies>Goes through each brockton cape and ward until by process of elimination Browbeat remains.
>>156096242>issue ends with a cliffhanger of Leviathan making landfall>some shit happens and the next comic is postponed indefinitely and never comes outthe Leviathan curse continues in every format.
>>156096174>comparing Amy's power to Mahito from JJK.We get a crack ship between the two
>>156096289Not the time she blinds Lung (although that is a contender), but when she blinds that hypnotist by filling his eyes with maggots, right before the arc where she's doxed and nearly gets arrested
>>156096261>hey thomas, I hear you like em youngI hope that when Taylor briefly dreams about Coil being her dad that we get a solid week of people drawing Taylor as black, just for the comedy potential.>>156096288I like to imagine that Rachel bumps into Greg at the park. Greg is nothing but sweet to the dogs, Rachel immediately decides he's a keeper and proceeds to drag him everywhere with her now. Now he just awkwardly shows up with Rachel during the story as an unofficial mascot/token normal guy. They make it work because Greg's practically autistic as it is and Rachel is like a dog. Autistic people get along well with animals, ergo it all checks out.
>>156096277>AU One-Shot where Taylor dies to Levi and Danny triggers, gaining one of his hypothetical powers.Would be kino.
The best thing about Worm fanfics is you can immediately tell what authors got bullied in school by whatever levels of punishment/justice is dished out to the Trio.

I'm just glad this is finally being adapted. I've been subsisting off this animation for years.https://youtu.be/ytmXBHm1FeI
>>156096360It's still wild to me that Wildbow tried to kill her off in ward but got so much heat in the comments he retconned it like 2 chapters later and tried to play it off.
>>156096380He did what!? Even more reason to ignore that piece of shit
>>156096351My punishment is that they apologise and leave Taylor alonet. very bullied
>>156095950How did he backpedal on Taylor’s ending? I haven’t read 99% of Worm but her ending does sound pretty bleak
>>156096380I fucking love Vista>Leviathan attacked ON HER BIRTHDAY, killing her older crush and comrades>Continued to persist, now the most grizzled and experienced active Ward probably in the entire US>Survived Gold Morning>Survived the entirety of Ward>Remained a consistent help in major battles throughout, stalling leviathan and helping with the S9KAbsolute legend of a little girl.
>>156096380Ward isn't real and as always Wildbow is to be ignored most of the time because wibbles is retarded
>>156096341>I like to imagine that Rachel bumps into Greg at the park. Greg is nothing but sweet to the dogs, Rachel immediately decides he's a keeper and proceeds to drag him everywhere with her now.

Autistic people get along well with animals, ergo it all checks out.Yes! Exactly!There's also a lot of potential for comedy there, the fact that so few people see it is depressing!
>>156096360It's funny how fucked up those wards were. I remember the therapist interlude being interesting. I liked how he was able to capture they way this one lady was basically ruining her own life to keep a 15 year old combat functional against the S9. I remember the about bit how Vista was fully adapted to living under the threat of violence because she was recruited so young she didn't even know another life.
>>156096399I mean at the end of Worm we see a timeskip where she's POTENTIALLY in another universe meeting that version of her mom, the idea being that contessa destroyed her corona pollentia so she has no powers but is generally fine. Or Contessa just killed her. The main reason to assume its the first one is that Contessa fired 2 bullets but if she wanted Taylor dead she only needed one.
Vista is based. She should have been the MC
>>156082318>clockposting goes mainstreamCANT STOP THE CLOCK>>156096369the fandom will turn Dinah into a stoner again>>156096399He implied in another WoG much later down the line that Taylor's ending was meant to be a comatose/dying dream. She's not actually alive, she's either stuck in a forever coma (proto-Shard Space or Titan crap) or actually dead.>>156096407I imagine they get along like Fafnir and Makoto in Dragon Maid.>(Most people are hits or misses...)>"You're a hit.">"Huh? What do you mean?">"It means you're not a miss.">"...yeah, that's because I'm a guy."
>>156096402Don't forget that during the Leviathan fight a hero told her to bring a building down on him to slow down Leviathan, dude died and she killed him. Also she got in a CQC fight with Shatterbird and won, so technically she's rich if she got the credit for that. Also there's a retconned and deleted interlude where we follow one of her echidna clones, and after Echidna dies it decides that doing good deeds will encourage people to not kill it so it runs off to kill Vista's parents because it has a copy of Vista's memories and immediately decides they deserve it.

Like those ones you see at Hot Topic or Spencers."
>>156095950The most puzzling thing of tying himself in knots trying to make Amy indisputably wrong, at fault for everything, and universally hated by everyone; is simultaneously trying to set up a redemption arc for fucking BONESAW. At least Amy's crimes, aside from turning her sister into a human puddle and raping her, were a combination of being a fuck up and the victim of an otherworldly alien entity deliberately trying to incite conflict. Bonesaw was actively, gleefully, turning people into hellraiser labyrinth monsters for something like a decade, all for the amusement of the people who tortured her family to death.
>>156094769>isn't she being turned into a male?This can't be real.
>Greg becomes the most powerful character by virtue of always being on PHO and talking to multiple emotionally damaged girls, thus creating a harem of hot powerful ladies who rush to fulfill his desiresIt really is that easy.
>>156096544I think the thing Wildbow doesn't get that Amy being THE WORST only really works if she's an adult. The minute you take someone like Patrick Bateman or Walter White and turn them into a kid, you sorta change everything about the subtext and the pathos of it all, really.It's easy to go "he's an adult, he made his choices, he knew what he was doing" but you CANNOT do the same for children, especially children with super powers
>>156096547tbf the Siberian being a naked zebra version of the guys daughter that he has eat people is weird even by worm standards.

(Probably also what led to him not looking into his power sight)>Was probably there at the first behemoth appearance, and has probably been to most every endbringer fight (barring simurgh)>According to Glaistig Uaine, his Shard is called the [Destroyer]And if I remember right he even gets like the last interlude in Ward.
>>156096579>Children with super powers......that have brain worms inside of them trying to push to go into conflict.
>>156096544Yeah its really baffling.Like Amy spent YEARS healing people, she's probably saved more lives than most other heroes, but she has one fairly bad crashout and does something awful and she's considered the worst for it. Not to mention how she personally knew what she did was wrong and asked to be Birdcaged for it, showing an immense amount of guilt over it yet she's not allowed a redemption?
>>156096540
>>156096579I do really hope IDW makes him walk back on Amy at least a bit. And if not, hopefully they have some contractual shit they can pull to do it anyway, if not for the comic then for a later animation if it does well.
>>156096544Amy was given multiple off ramps by multiple different characters right up until the moment she kidnaps and rapes Vicky. New Wave and Jack Slash definitely share a lot of the blame but that didn't tell her to rape her sister.
The Amy stuff is fucked because you have several factors you can point towards for her fall into evil. Anyone with a brain can see she wasn't born that way. Amy at every turn was being pushed.

If you read Carol's interlude you can see her trying to justify the rape as something she had to get out of her system.

>>156096733>>156096731>I, GregAnd no Anon, it isn'tI hope we get Winged_One postings
>>156096733>t.
>>156096694Rachel does her best to learn some social norms to make her Greg feel appreciated. The naked doggy style on the other hand works effortlessly.>>156096699I like to think Brian and Greg get along incredibly well. Greg gets Brian to loosen up and start acting like a teenager instead of a teenager LARPing as an adult. They get along TOO well, especially when Taylor and Brian start dating. Taylor gets envious/jealous that Brian and Greg are so buddy-buddy. Tattletale is annoyed by having a normie geek around but deep down she's got a soft spot for blonde boys considering her dead brother and all that.
>>156096731>Eventually has a Pepe Silvia style meltdown declaring that he's gotta be a thinker of some kind
A Worm comic before Wildblow edits the goddamn thing for publication? Yeah that tracks. Fuck.
>>156096733You are not able to fuck the endbringers no matter how many times you ask.
>>156096741Yeah, the simurgh basically sent a nth-dimensional zip bomb to Greg and he got mind-RAPED into thinking he was a SIone of the better SI's I've seenProbably helped that the author didn't finish worm so he couldn't just go ahead and solve everything >Author forgot that Amy couldn't heal herself so he beat her up and threw her in a dumpster
>>156096765if a man can fuck a robot, he can fuck an alien angel
So is Worm now going to become a /co/ fixture like Homestuck
There is no reason for her armor to be covered in spikes this is a joke
>>156096766I remember he wrote a surprisingly good sequel where fakeSI greg gets real isekai'd into RWBY as Jaune, just to the complete the circle of bullshit, it was pretty good, I still recall a scene of the SI and Blake sitting on top of a building while it snows that like actually stuck with me.
>>156096769I wonder if they'll keep Dragon being... Irish i think? pretty sure her public face was a redhead.
>>156096782It's literally a moody 15 year olds arts and crafts project.
One change I know for sure they will probably do will be to downplay Alec's whole thing.Can't have your MC be friends with a guy who's a body snatching rapist, that's a lil too far.
>>156096782There's just no way she thought she didn't look like a villain while adding spikes to her costume.
>>156096756>Greg reminds Tats of her dead brotherhonestly I think that'd only make her hate him more rather than soften her up to him
>>156096801According to the AMA they were doing, it's so they can more easily get across the "mistaken for a villain" thing. It also furthers early taylor being completely stupid and uninformed about the cape thing entirely which is based.
>>156096802Could just play up that he was manipulated into doing it all, probably as part of a "Master's are scary" section. Play up the part of it where his emotional neurons literally just completely burned out of his skull so hard that his Dad's power stopped working on him.
>>156096784Like after he came back home from Jaune's family? Or in the hotelThat is an SI I recommend to anybody; character development is the true dream to strive for
>>156096778Worm was before Homestuck.
>>156096782Taylor thinks it looks tuff.
>>156096802He is just another victim of his dad. The most fucked up thing he does on page is making Sophia think he's going to make her kill herself.
>>156096809kek>Lisa begins to wonder if she's getting attached to Greg>Greg: (opens his mouth)>nevermind, it's just disgust she feels>>156096802I wish Alec was a deeper character. I think you could make him a creep and still make him interesting/cool/appealing. There's something rather compelling about Alec as a premise and I kinda wish he got more nuance/layers instead of being the most shallowly written member of the Undersiders.I mean that. Brian is better than him! He's got his charms as a stupid kid who THINKS he's mature but he's just LARPing as an adult
I keep hearing Worm is great, but I also hear it's bleak and over the top edgy and gets stupid with all of that. What's the truth /co/?
>>156096889it's great overall but bits of it are bleak and over the top edgy and gets stupid with all of that
>>156096889> bleak and over the top edgy and gets stupid with all of thatThis is called the Leviathan curse.Leviathan upscaled by pure narrative scaling. He's kinda there to change the tone of the story so things get fucked after he shows up.
>>156096889It's fun, and the setting is cool, and the power mechanics are cool, but it has plot holes from lack of editing being a serialized work and all, as well as some un-ideal plot decisions caused by the authors own issues. So it's a lot like RWBY where people see untapped material and make a bajillion fanfics. It has great sections though, and good fights, the Leviathan fight in particular is legendary.
>>156096863I kinda hope the comic borrows a bit from fanon Sophia. Fanon Sophia is fucking hilarious with how much of a chunni edgelord she is.>>156096889It is indeed bleak and over the top edgy but it's weirdly compelling with how grim it can be. The characters, worldbuilding, and powers are the best part of it. It's like the perfect distant cousin to Venture Bros in terms of "holy shit I needed this".
>>156096889Worm is great. As a setting. Wildbow unfortunately is not a very good author so Worm is also bleak and over the top edgy and stupid.
looking throught the AMA some answers that stood out.>If I couldn't make changes to the things that I regret and that left people unhappy, then I wouldn't have gone ahead with the comic. There's issues like Regent and how he comes across, the unclear and sketchy race politics around the ABB (who have been renamed) and ongoing discussion around stuff like Amy, that were very front-of-mind.>Jones: The comic is rated Mature. We’re not shying away from the visceral moments, pulling back on the violence, or removing bugs crawling into people’s eyes, say, but also, I wouldn’t put it at the same level as THE BOYS. We’re including the interludes as we can in the mainline story. I personally have ideas for spin-offs…mini series…*cough* MY cat’s name is Traveler…for example…but idk why I would mention that, haha...ha.How many issues?>Zero idea, and we can only ballpark and take guesses. In another reply I talked about how the bank robbery is slated to happen in issue 6, so very broadly, no promises, totally subject to change, if we extrapolated that out to 2 issues per arc, that could be 60 issues over 5 years... but who really knows?What if it does well>I know Cas has talked about wanting to do a side comic based on one of the interlude arcs, and that strikes me as one of the things that would be more doable if the series got a lot of positive attention & good numbers.>Jones: My favorite character is Tattletale. I love a snarky know-it-all, and as an editor and, damn, a person, I relate to the feeling like I should be able to foretell all potential outcomes and save the people I love from any pain. I’m most excited to see Noelle in the comic, and to play with all the horror elements that entails.
>>156096980>the ABB got renamedto what? if it's something cool, I'm gonna miss the cringe-kino that was the Asian Bad Boyz
>>156097007You know, now that I think of it, it *is* a little odd Lung chose that of all names, instead of some Japanese Yakuza shit. I could see Bakuda using that name being a bostonite though.
>>156096980>I know when we were first working on the early drafts, issue 2 was tough because we were trying to cover a lot of ground where Taylor wasn't doing a lot, and wasn't in fights, and the issue was a bit dry. Some streamlining is necessary, so each issue has something to offer. The fact pictures can convey a lot helps, though.As for 'how streamlined is it' - we're still in early issues, so it's hard to really say. As I understand it, we're getting to the bank robbery in the first six issues. Saying that might help convey the pacing of things.>Wells: We'll have variant covers for sure!>There will be 5 covers for issue #1 and then 3 covers each for issues #2-6. While I have you guys here…would you want an Undersiders set? >Wells: I can take the first q! Preorders start on 11/25/26.>Wells: First and foremost -- at your local comic shop!https://findyourcomic.storeWe'll also have some exclusive variants on our webstore, too.Q:Issue 0 is said to be a prequel. what is the scope of that prequel? is it something like Interlude 1.x where it goes over the emergence of parahumans, or something more focused?>Jones: The prequel’s goal is to help new readers understand what triggers are and how they work. Since this element is so unique to Worm, it’s important to preface that for everyone going into issue #1 who may not have read the serial. It’s dark. There will also be a new chapter from John in there! As well as the character design sheets for Taylor and the Undersiders.
>>156096980>ongoing discussion around stuff like Amy, that were very front-of-mindAmy will be vindicated, it was all Vicky's fault
>>156097034I guess it sorta checks out. Lung is a bit of a manchild and still a teenager in a lot of ways.>this name is cool>and if you don't agree I'm gonna fucking rip you in half and burn you alive>"y-yeah it's a great idea, boss!"
>>156097062It was all Marquis's fault for getting his shit kicked in by New Wave of all people (which he only lost to because they attacked him in his house in the middle of the night and he wanted to keep his daughter from getting caught in the crossfire)
>>156097094I think he just kept one of the random names of the gangs he took over.
>>156097104I think wildbow probably just heard about Asian Boyz on an episode of gangland
>>156097095I want to exaggerate this to comedic levels of silliness>HE'S EVIL WE HAVE TO STOP HIM>"I'm not evil! I'm just mildly corrupt at best!">HE'S LYING LETS ABDUCT HIS DAUGHTER>"nooooo!"
>>156082450Her name is shitter?Way to bury the lede
>>156097095New Wave only won because Marquis was a better person then them all combined.
>>156097143Literally and textually true.
>>156097143kek>Amy figures out that no, her dad really was the least bad person in Brockton Bay...which makes him a good guy!>instead of thinking she's doomed to villainy, Amy instead thinks she can do no wrong because she's fated for violent HEROISM!>somewhere, Taylor sneezes
>“I’m so excited and honored to work on Worm with some of the best folks in comics. I came to Worm late in the game, but I was immediately enthralled by the amazing, vibrant world John has built,” Fitzmartin said. “A story about complicated women, people with powers, feminine rage, and folks trying to do the right thing… with varying results?"it's fucked, but at least we'll get some porn
>>156097230On the plus side, it's already written, so I doubt they can redirect shit too much, at most you'll get a "GIRLLLL POWERRRR" quip in a bubble or two, maybe a few self fellating sections of the Empire 88 and Protectorate or whatever getting humiliated, I dunno. I doubt they have the time to twist it much though with the pace they want.
What’s that one wormfic idea that you’ve always had an idea for but could never bring yourself to write? For me it’s The Tick showing up in Brockton with a Tinkertech suit with Danny becoming his Arthur
>>156097260I wanted a Heathers and Worm crossover....
>>156097260skitter falls into lord of the ringsI used ai to write it for me for a little while
>>156097260Chevalier SI, since he's a fucking legend. Have the self insertion cause him to double trigger in the car, and be messy rather than the usual brain swap, so his brains are basically melting for a few minutes. Have him grab the little portals in parahuman brains with his boosted power to make DMC ass "Shard weapons". Use Entity dimensional boundary to royal guard.Actually fight through all the endbringers instead of having Eidolon die and recruiting them for the fight.Kill Scion by fighting him in Shard Space and reality simultaneously.I also had an idea for a different story with an OC who was Taylors unhinged Cousin with a Brute power going Carrie on her school day one. I posted *a* snipped of it on Spacebattles I think. Little messy.
>>156097260I've been wanting to write an OC in LA with more realistic gang politics than the warriors tier gangs wildbow writes.
>>156097281>Scion appears in 1982>Heathers takes place in 1988>Heather Chandler triggers from the poison and betrayal >Heather Chandler is a member of the original wards What would her powers be?
I had a few others I came up with.A Kirby crossover where Kirby falls into the worm universe and the Entities dimensional barrier is clinching his stomach closed, nerfing him enough that he basically has to level back up over the story.A Space Station 13 Tinker whose Shard got caught in a bluespace anomaly and now they're crazy.Project Moon crossover where the local librarians assistant Triggers and gets EGO. With other City singularities ending up as other powers, like a local tinker with the Lock specialty, or an Endbringer with Fairy.The kirby one can work decently well I *know* it, but god is it so hard to write Kirby.
>>156097260Kamen Rider Kabuto/WormWorms in worm, the ultimate master/stranger nightmare
>>156097367The main thing to remember when writing Kirby is that he enjoys making friends and he cares about his friends. As much as we joke about Kirby being the god of death, he’s more of an embodiment of redemption
>>156097374(I was actually making a Kamen Rider/Worm quest on fiction.live pretty recently, but have fallen off on updating it due to lacking motivation, real life shit I've been doing, etc. I do still really love the concept of Kamen Rider Rubedo I came up with, but ugh... writing is hard, and my hands are not built for doing it over long periods, might be better to just make it a fic? Though then I'd lose out on cool shit like rolling a crit on Dinah escaping Coil and doing discount PTV shit, though I guess I can just do what Wildbow did and roll anyway)
>>156097374>>156097414I wanted to do a thing with Greg as Zi-O,but I'm too lazy to write it.
>>156097441My thing was a Kamen Rider specialty tinker that used an OC driver. Using it made him relive his trigger event, they link to parahumans forever on use until they die, act as power enhancers, etc. I even mspainted up his rough costume. I do really think Kamen Rider is prime material for crossover fics if you just retrofit whatever the crossover's power system is into a kamen rider driver, which you can do with basically any setting. JJK? Cursed Tool. Witch Hat Atelier? Magic object. RWBY? Experimental Atlas tech like Penny. Marvel? You can use fucking anything for Marvel, and use the infinity stones as upgrade items. Literally it can fit in anywhere.
>>156097260I've been meaning to write a hero pulp crossover with Worm where a handful of classic pulp heroes wind up on Earth Bet circa the 2000s and their arcs intersect with Taylor's in 2011. I'd call it PULP.>Doc Savage and the Fab Five run around helping the countries ruined by Endbringer attacks>The Shadow carries out devastating assaults on Gesselschaft>Tarzan liberates Africa from Moord Nag's tyranny while Conan overthrows the South American cartels>Fu Manchu plots his takeover of the CUI and soon, the world
>>156097511>Doc Savage agrees to work with Cauldron but quietly plans to solve the Scion problem non-violently, believing that they can successfully communicate friendship with the Entity...or effectively lobotomize him if they can't>The Shadow refuses to work with Cauldron despite multiple attempts from Contessa to lure him to their side, and he plots to dispose of Zion on his own terms>elsewhere, the Spider and Nita Van Sloan take up residence in Brockton Bay to root out the city of crime and then make a quiet life for themselves>Zorro proceeds to seduce Purity to the side of good>Greg winds up becoming the apprentice to the Rockeeter while Theo becomes the successor to the Avenger >Alexandria falls in love with Captain Future>The Golden Amazon ends up accidentally creating a successor group to Lustrum's
>>156097486>>156097414There needs to be a dedicated Kamen Rider fic. The glaring absence of a cyborg Wolverine-esque character with an ex-military organization would fit perfectly with Kamen Rider. Maybe go for some Gray Fox vibes too.
>>156097260Vista fic where when she triggers she runs away from home and becomes basically a hobo, powers the same so she uses it to steal and is really good at it.
>>156097867Fuuuuck, Phantom Thief Vista is great actually.
>>156097651>>156097486There's a chaos gacha rider fic that uses the CG rolls as the transformation trinkets. The first fight being Lung and him throwing the fight because he's a massive toku fanboy who wants to be rider kick'd is funny. And then the fight ends with the protagonist stealing Armsmaster's bike because every rider needs a whip.
>>156097879She's a solo act whose somehow one of the most competent villains in the bay due to not being held back by PR and we get to see why the response to a rogue shaker 9 is to run.Not that she goes for combat ever, getting in fights is how you get killed, better to walk into the vault through the pins.
>>156097956I could see her getting involved in those shit kid villains in Vegas that taylor takes out during her Ward tenure. (Including that one girl, Bambina, with Bakugo powers who's actually like thirty or some shit but won the power lottery and is now a forever child, and apparently does dubiously legal porno, which is ABSOLUTELY NOT surviving the transition to comic)
>>156097993Ehhhh that's way to much heat for a thief
>>156096544bonesaw was a kid who was kidnapped by serial killers at a younger age
Looks like we're getting an issue zero explaining how triggers work, probably a good idea, and lets them either have Taylor know basic world knowledge, or just barrel past her being stupid instead of sitting down and explaining shit. I really hope they leave her as being stupid as fuck and having done no research.
>>156094769>I would say Siberian but isn't she being turned into a male? (Well she was already a projection so whatever)source?
>>156098193maybe an updated version of the danny interlude from arc 1 that was basically all cape exposition
>>156098196I think last thread had someone positing it, which he's probably thinking of. The AMA has nothing about it, so I imagine they aren't. Would kind of take away from Manton's character anyway.
>>156096146>>jcm2 will go nuts over Vistawhat about bonesaw?
>>156096441>He implied in another WoG much later down the line that Taylor's ending was meant to be a comatose/dying dream. She's not actually alive, she's either stuck in a forever coma (proto-Shard Space or Titan crap) or actually dead.Source? I thought it was supposed to be ambiguous?
Do you think Sabah and Lily's ages will be adjusted? I'd bet on making Sabah a college freshman rather than a senior at least.
>>156096802>>156096830>Could just play up that he was manipulated into doing it all, probably as part of a "Master's are scary" section. Play up the part of it where his emotional neurons literally just completely burned out of his skull so hard that his Dad's power stopped working on him.thats the stuff that happened in his past.>>156096863>The most fucked up thing he does on page is making Sophia think he's going to make her kill herself.Doesn't he molest her during that? Or am I getting mixed up?
>>156098269I'm near positive he doesn't and just spooks the shit out of her. He might threaten to do it to scare her more maybe? He doesn't really have the mental capacity to have a drive to do it anymore at least.I hope they keep him as unchanged as possible, and I hope people find him cool, he was one of my more well liked characters actually.
>>156098280I think he threatened to take look pics of her as blackmail.
>>156097230I wonder if it's too late for her to be mysteriously fired.
>>156098280>>156098327There's some kinda creepy parts in the interlude:>He ran her hands down her chest, felt her breasts, the muscles of her stomach. Stretching once more, he clenched her hands, felt the muscles in her arms flex. He felt her shudder in revulsion.https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/05/15/interlude-10/
>>156098450Ahh, yeah little bit, though I at the time mostly just read that as him speeding up his power by figuring her nerves out, though I guess it worked both ways.
>>156096653>>cut ties>she deserved coiltruer words were never posted on 4chins
>>156097150is that a blood magicker and incestuous alien victoria?
>>156097260proper crossover with ASOIAF, with characters being suddenly moved to planetos
>>156082318I remember checking the web serial out and I thought it was alright. Some of the writing felt a bit clunky>"It would be so easy, so easy to just go Carrie on the whole school" but the overall premise was intriguing enough for me to read through a few chapters. I'm glad it's finally getting a comic adaptation though, especially since the format was the main thing holding the original back for me. I don't read books all that much, but half the time I was reading Worm I found myself confused with no fucking idea what was happening in a scene just because of how everything is written. A more visual medium like comics could really let the story shine in a way the original format didn't always manage to.
>>156082450Finally a canon look for porn
>>156087451To resemble a beetle or something, she looks generic without it
>>156098631This makes the scene where Lisa is like "You might be the hottest thing ever to some people" and Taylor just not conceiving she's hot and only some weirdo pedophile would like her *way* funnier also. She's a hot librarian girl, she was just so bullied she lost all self image and was incapable of seeing herself as hot. (Casualty of the author literally only liking busty blonde bimbos)
>>156098653> (Casualty of the author literally only liking busty blonde bimbos)he likes blonde loli's as well
If you've got blond hair and blue eyes Wildbow loves you
Rune correction
>>156098713Purity is actually a hero discourse is going to start up again
>>156098740White women can get away anything in America these days
>>156097260>Xworld oneshot series where everyone has a different version of their powers (based on that one WoG that said 'most' shards can give 'most' kinds of powers)>conspiracy-driven Protectorate case files anthology story set in the early 80s with the first parahumans in random high schools and stuff>lovecraftian AU with the Triumvirate+Hero as natural triggers in the 20s trying to work out what the fuck an Entity is>team drama fic set in straya back when Gavel was around where basically every character is some kind of brute with weird conditions like him (Australia only having brutes for no reason is a really funny concept to me)>AU that builds on a pet theory I have that some of the higher tier shards were secretly trying to bootstrap themselves back into a full Entity by usurping control over each other (e.g. the Butcher, Teacher, Khepri, GU, etc. all the shards that 'collect' other shards)>All-Star Skitter that unpacks all the bullshit around Brockton Bay and the fan perception of Taylor in sort of a similar way to All-Star Superman did for his mythosI should really write one of these someday
Were Empire88 really that bad in the big picture?
>>156099125They weren't even framed as bad in the narrative they were just in the way of coils grand ambitions.
Any gangs comprised entirely of niggas?
>>156099166Most niggas lack the emotional capacity to trigger, but there's plenty of African Americans in gangs.
>>156082318I hope it has rape
The best fic I read was about Bonesaw's pedophile friend using the plane ticket to not get super murdered by the S9, then befriends and fucks Vista because he needs cape cunny
>>156099125>>156099141big picture? of course not. Were they bad? They were a violent criminal gang with vague nazi theming. Just as bad as the rest, worse to minorities.
>>156099166Africa I guess. It devolved into warlord citystates
>>156088344It was me, Barry. I took your dick and put it inside Taylor Hebert while I made her call us daddy, and then I stuck it in Lisa while she cried about being asexual. After that, I took Bitch out on a date and made her get a pug that we named Iris.
I just want more Amy art. Best girl and would take care of this angry gremlin "healer." I can imagine her getting an immense wave of new fans since her simple design would be popular with artists I think. Not to mention people love her spunky and relatable attitude.I love her.
>>156100226link?
I'd be more welcoming of this shit if it weren't for all the fanfiction and death battle talk it's going to contribute.
>>156100226I've read many worm fics but i can't think of any with this specific premise.
>>156082318 There is a mutherfucking worm comic coming? I don't care if is not great, I will be happy it exists at all. God, just make it as close to the original as possible and it will be golden. Who am I kidding, it's going to be shit, is it? Just the worst crap possible to put a nail on the coffin of what was a great novel
>>156087406>>156082450 I had the same feeling, but I imagine they can't make her literally ugly because the character needs to draw atention. At the end of the day the main point was her getting her self esteem destroyed by the bullying, so I don't think it matters that much. The bullying makes the character, but it tends to get a lot more attention that needed.
>>156097414Oh shit, you're the Rubedo guy. I was wondering what happened to that Quest the other day.Not gonna lie, Wasn't a big fan of the idea of spreading transformation belts, even with its drawback, simply because I knew in my gut that it would get overly complicated. Still looking forward to it. Also fuck chatty belts, never liked them.
>>156096378The fact this guy got hit by the Leviathan curse as well is what makes me think of it as a real curse and not the fault of the fanfic writers
>>156102432I don't like what the AMA is implying. Why would you want to tone down how fucked up Brockton Bay is. There is no way the ABB and E88 are surviving a sensitivity reader and you can forget about Skidmark. I really hope they portray the E88 for the opportunists they really are with only the midwits like Purity as true believers.
>>156102772>I really hope they portray the E88 for the opportunists they really are with only the midwits like Purity as true believers. That is one of those things that never happen in fics, and I imagine Wilbow is going to bend under pressure there.
>>156098613>me to read through a few chapters. How about you write your opinion in a paper, fold it 10 times, cover it with olive oil, and stick it up your ass. Holy shit, Image literally knowing nothing and still coming in that strong. The internet really has made it seem to some people that their take is just as valid as any, hasn't it?
>>156102772Events show that this kind of opportunism comes from the place of true belief anyway, if in your personal superiority and your right to hurt inferiors, rather than exact ideology as written.
>>156100226>Bonesaw's pedophile friend using the plane ticket to not get super murdered by the S9,This part of his post is canon btw.
>>156102772Half the appeal of Brockton is how fucked up a city it is, like its straight up Gotham tier with all its awful bullshit, trying to tone it down makes it boring.
Girl protag? That's gay.
>>156102935sure but guys like Hookwolf aren't going to let skincolour get in the way of their own personal superiority.
>>156097260During a meeting with his capes, Kaiser accidentally reveals his lack of belief in their nazi ideals...only to learn the rest of his group also dont give a shit about racism anymore either.>Hookwolf was only in it for the fights>Rune was just a dumb kid copying bigotry from surrounding adults>even true believers like Krieg ended up losing his racist beliefs due to working with minorities in his day jobturns out the only person still a bigot is ironically Purity.
>no fic with an E88 protagonist that cleanses Brockton Bay of filthWhy live?
>>156103139Hookwolf (and Cricket/the other guy whose name i forget) only joined the E88 because he killed a guy in an underground cage match and got a lot of heat for it (not sure if legal heat or from the fight backers in NYC) so he fucked off and joined the E88 to have someone that could back him up if shit went bad. He gives negative shits about the racist stuff but he is also perfectly find doing it for the backing
>>156103271>AU where Kaiser survives Leviathan and becomes a big bad post-SH9>Kaiser tries to recruit Taylor>Taylor lies and says she’s Jewish>Kaiser brushes this off as a non-issue
>>156103287There's a few fics where Taylor joined them.She's honestly prime recruitment bait, like a white girl being bullied by a black chick, how the junior nazis in the school didn't pick up on that and try recruiting her is a mystery.
>>156103382They heard her last name and assumed she was Jewish.
>>156103025Was it confirmed he used the ticket to not get fucked by S9?
>>156103817I assume he left town but i don't think he ever shows up again.Speaking of minor characters it's wild to me how Chubster got expanded on in Ward
>>156093693Thats what I’ve always pictured as well desu.
>>156093501I wonder if they are trying to stop legal headaches that could happen if her design is too similar to the popular fan design, stoping any attempted lawsuits.
You guys think they’ll change Assault and Battery’s relationship? I hope not.
>>156104381Hilarious if Assault was to based to be in his own story
>>156097260Time travel peggy sue where instead of Taylor or Vicky going back in time like everyone seems to like, its Amy. I’d use an alternative timeline that treats Ward as non canonical so Amys fate is a bit different (Shes unfucked Vicky and shes going to therapy to actually try and fix herself lest she becomes the red queen again). Surprised nobody (to my knowledge) has done an Amy time travel fic, think it could be interesting.
Hasn't even happened yet and this shit is already a nuisance.
My power? Being a blindspot/blank/immune to thinkers mumbo jumbo powers. My nefarious goal? Why, waifu Contessa ofc!
>>156104141i think i may have pictured edna mode from the incredibles.
>>156082318I'm curious, has there been any serialized web-based story centered around the capeshit genre that over time, with enough steady popularity, eventually breached into the mainstream?Closest that comes to mind for me would be One Punch Man.
>>156097511...ain't this just the basic premise for Planetary?
I'm actually surprised that /co/ of all places genunely likes Worm. I've never heard of it until last week, and I never expected 4chan to be into it in a way that all of these inside jokes, references, and memes about certain events happening in the series are just lost on me because I never really got into it back in the day.
>>156103382I remember one I liked where Purity and Danny end up dating and Taylor inadvertently ends up getting in with E88 because of it
>>156105307it was popular on /tg/ during its original run and the novel itself had huge popularity with the "rational community" which I'm sure has crossover with on 4chan
Wheres the fanfic thread?
>>156104793https://forum.questionablequesting.com/threads/no-stranger-to-change-worm-cyoa.9727/
>>156093462why is all character fan art of MA so horny?
>>156105307It's capeshit for people who like the idea of capeshit but don't want to actually get into capeshit but will still pretend to know everything about capeshitNo wonder this shithole likes it
>>156105091Not sure if Homestuck would count but it's the closest I can imagine
>>156105451I'm honestly more surprised because I figured that it'd garner a fanbase closer to that of tumblr's back in the day, but this thread has proved me wrong
>>156105522I'm sorry Ironheart and Miles Morales shitted and flopped
>>156105583Tumblr fanbase came pretty recently like post-covid.
>>156105617Ehhhh I dunno if I’d say post covid, Spacebattles always existed (and overtime became an overtly leftist tumblr hugbox of a site) afterall.
>>156105583The tumblr fanbase only really formed when the series had already ended for a few years, most of what the community/Wildbow consider problematic only really became topics of discussion at that point. Tbh im kinda sad the webserial culture disintegrated into the Royalroad, fanfic and tumblr spheres, even if it was always tumblr adjacent it at least had some of an edge. But looking back now im also happy that the rationalist fags are gone because those guys where the most annoying people in the world.
>>156103287because the E88 are apart of said filth
>>156105610I don't like those characters you idiotI just know who the kind of people Wormfags here are
>>156096844Homestuck was ALWAYS /co/ thoughWorm is only NOW getting an actual valid excuse to be posted here
>>156087970Ah, the chunin exams of worm
>>156093484>I'm outdon't be such a baby, dicks grow back
>>156105477What, you want wormfic recs?There's one that's dear to my heart, even if it's one of the silliest premises: a crossover fic with Saiki Kusuo of all things. It had funny, witty narration perfectly in character for Saiki, and it's kind of a unicorn in being one of the extremely few fics where the author has both writing chops and drawing skills to make an art fic with consistent illustrations. Its one and only flaw, in my opinion, was following the trend of having a whole city out there but making your fic MC inevitably gravitate towards Taylor goddamn Hebert.It's a fun read, but like with most things it suddenly died. A shame really, but I still recommend it.
>>156088047The problem is that after leviathan things stop being street level antics and switch to city destroying threats so its kind of difficult for authors to reorientate to that.
>>156091024Oh yeah that's me. It was just passive exposure from browsing Spacebattles.
https://youtu.be/gX-eXCMXQkwAlways wanted an adaptation with stylistic art like this.
>>156088891>I can't remember whichthe one who could resize his body parts to punch people with big fists
>>156102772they said they're making e88 worse, as in more horrible and evil. the opposite of toned down
>>156089757>I remember seeing this streamer/gacha QQ fic and people in the thread kept saying stuff akin to "I can't wait for Emma to get "punished" with a horse!">NSFW-column fic so im sure you can guess what that meantwhich fic was this?
>>156105617
There's Lisa wards fic I was enjoying but the past few months have devolved into Lisa being lesbian pollen for every female character and gender discourse instead of the actual plot of the fic.
>>156094989>since he's kind of important to the plot.>implying we will ever in a million years reach that far in the narrative
>>156094965>The idea that there is just this homogenous Asian gang full of different ethnicities that are pretty xenophobic towards each other in real life was always laughable.It's because Lung says so.He's mixed Chinese-Japanse himself which was a problem for him for most of his life so you can see what he's getting at.Also larger recruitment pool.
inb4 wildbow makes chariot a genuine hero in the comic and not a coil plant that got easily found out from in the funniest way possible
>>156096380Ward? No such thing.
>>156096380Wasn't the chapter she "died" the same chapter she was revealed to be alive and helps kill march after the wacky troll 4th wall break or is this about another moment in ward?
>>156097299You gonna post it eventually?
>>156106347whats wong with ward? if anything, i think its better than worm
>>156106491People hate it because its more of a character study than the escalating consequences fest that Worm was.
>>156098575There was this story of post GM Taylor landing infront of a young Baelish that is just recovering from his duel wound and is returning to his shitty hold.I would have loved to see them working togther, but unfortunatly the story ended apruptly as it is the case very often with such stories.
>>156082323What
>>156106491Not him, I don't hate it but my problems with it are generally:>Victoria is largely uninteresting as a pov character>The City is poorly thought out as a setting>Story in general feels like wildbow tried to pander to different parts of his audience due to criticism and neutered what he was originally going for
>>156106646spoilers for the entire narrative
>>156097260E88 member see Taylor being bullied by Trio and use it to stir shit about because of Sophia.It would be about the (slow) decent of Taylor into radicalism as they would be an actual group she could latch on to get support and a supposedly clear cut enemy.But I am nowhere near skilled enough to write this even remotely nuanced.
>>156106646aren't you tired of being nice?don't you just wanna go wormshit?
>>156097511There's already a comic and a novel called Pulp.>>156105126Sorta, yeah.>>156105477Fanfiction should be relegated to /trash/.
>>156106646Why do you think it's called Worm?It's all worms. Always has been.
>>156097260Alright hear me out. What if I made a crossover where one super badass OP character arrives at Brockton Bay, and what if we had that, and then we made that character become the newest cool guy on the block. And, he also intercepts Taylor early in her career and prevents her descent into villainy by becoming the MC's groupie. AND, AND, he also rescues Dinah and saves Panacea and styles all over Coil, and also everyone at PHO is freaking out because who the hell is this guy, right? And the Simurgh is also showing a lot of interest in her posts and Void Cowboy eats shit and Armsmaster is seething. Oh, and also Sophia and her friends suffer a horrible fate as they get exposed then punished by the MC.And, what if I lied this whole time, and the crossover character WASN'T the crossover character, but instead me, as in my self-insert, who just happens to receive all the powers and abilities of a cool character like Sukuna or Goku or Ainz, so I can aurafarm in their style but act according to my own personality and values instead of the original characters' personalities.I'm workshopping the title for now. Thinking something like "I, Sukuna [Worm/JJK/MHA fusion world, Sukuna SI, chaos gacha elements, hurt/comfort]"
>>156107210There are fans of this but the authors usually realize they killed any tension and stop writing Probably would help if they could do character stuff better but they usually cant
>>156082318Fuck IDW
>>156097260Donut Steel with the power of giving thinkers extreme headache. Anyone trying to mind read, precog or anything like that, will experience 1000 yt videos of BADGERBADMUSHROOMGERBADGER with the ever increasing volume.
>>156097511My Pulp-fu is weak, who's the guy on the left with the red web mask/cape? Looks fucking sick.
https://youtu.be/OdEe_OrmCkINeed this adaptation to put more eyes on Pale. My Canadian magical girls deserve so much more attention.
>>156107271Your idea sucks and you should quit writing. It should obviously be the song that doesn't end playing.
>>156107210Voidbros...
>>156082318Oh fuck off, they're actually making this?Worm is just fags on Space Battle jerking off about power level.
>>156107285That's The Spider!
>>156107818And now you'll see them in Death Battle threads :)
>>156082318>HEY WANNA CHECK OUT MY ORIGINAL SUPERHERO DECONSTRUCTION-
>>156107818That's what I was afraid of.
>AO3 will be dead for weeksFF and SB FUARKING won. Always bet on ancient sites.
>>156107844Skitter vs Ladybug and Eidolon vs One for All seem like cool ideas
>>156107856Apparently AO3 is getting slammed hard by purity test zoomers who hate sex and will weaponize social media to shut down fanfic authors that wrongwrite.
>>156108087>AO3 is getting slammed hard by purity test zoomersexplain
>>156107856Won't share a tear for it. I've really tried to get into it but the tag system is so fucking cancerous man. It doesn't help that there's no dark mode that I can find. It's such an eyesore in every way.
>>156107967Latter seems like a bad mismatch
>Justice League crossover>Entire thing is just a variation of pic related
>>156108087>purity test zoomers who hate sexWhat the fuck is wrong with Zoomers?
>>156096782I mean she does start the story pretty dumb but you'd think evil spikes is not her starting design. Black lipstick is weird too.
>>156108302They’re a mindbroken generation that only thoughts are what TikTok tells them to think, making them a paradoxical mix of turbo-woke yet also extremely puritan. I don’t think there’s any hope for them.
>>156108523maybe her design a little later on into warlord arc?
>>156105307It's got the only thing 4chan needs, some in touch with reality. To explain further a lot of media is made by people who don't get how the world works or even try. The author of Worm did try, to point it sort of broke him.
>>156097062>>156096402>>156096360>Amy’s One Bad DayNeed more art like this, hope Vista is cute in the comic. Wildbow is suspiciously talented at creating and describing cute girls.
>>156108302Zooms are the only generation that's anti-system right now. And how do you kill the system? By not having kids and not working, with this everything crumbles cause 'lol no young people to work for your pension/SS'.
>>156108682link to full art?
>>156107818Oh you fucking wish that's all.
>>156105477I'll make it.
>>156108706Have you tried reading filenames?
>>156108735I can't believe we'll now get stuck with regular Worm threads now.Fuck this.
>>156108880It's a similar experience to when a Manga gets turned into an Anime, but worse, and if you thinks it's bad now? Just wait for it to get an inevitable animation series. At which point it will FOR SURE, mog Invincible and become SUPER MAINSTREAM.
>>156108880I'll take Worm over the current indie trash.
>>156108912I feel like Amazon would jump on it just so they can fully corner the entire non-Big Two capeshit market.
>>156108864This is very hot, but I can’t find the coconut guy’s page.
