Poor bastard, /co/ keeps saying Tony is utter shit and blah blah and that Annie will kill him.

Don't see that, he's just a poor sod that got tricked by bad things. Hope he tore them apart after he discovered the trickery.

>>237999
Won't happen. One of the things what tricked him is Coyote.

>>238000
Which may lead to asking his friend "can one kill a god" thinking about that I know one good method for it. Be put it'll take time and planning on Tony's part.

Because I think the breakdown of this will be Tony was tricked into hurting his daughter and it's going to come to a point of Annie siding with the Court and Coyote or going another way. Also Tony building a hand to kill gods maybe from the arrow.

>>237999
Tony doesn't have the worst intentions, but he's an ass all the same. This tragedy doesn't undo how shit he's treated his daughter.

>>237999
He's still a shit, now he's a shit with a sob story and personal weakness.

But we've known for a while that his dickery came from missing Surma and ignoring Annie because he was too broken up over her mom. Like yeah, okay, he didn't actively put Annie in danger in his quest to bring her back so he's like....not as big a dick as Gendo Ikari. That is the best you can say about him now. "Not as big a dick as Gendo Ikari." Not many people would bother putting that on their resume, y'know?

>>238026

Didn’t Ragyo Kiryūin replace Gendo as the Supreme Worst Anime Parent? Or do we use Ragyo as the female example and Gendo as the male example?

>>238026
For a while now, Anthony has been looking less and less like Gendo and more and more like Hoenheim to me. It's clear that he doesn't want Annie to get hurt, he's just pretty terrible in his attempt to keep her safe.

>>238034
Ragyo is so over-the-top evil that she hardly even qualifies as a parent anymore. Gendo's treatment of Shinji was a lot more tragic because the story still treated him as Shinji's father, whereas Ragyo was a mother pretty much in-name-only for half the series.

An argument could be made that at a certain point life fiber killed and replaced Ragyo.

>>238044
It would have had to be a long time ago considering she already saw her kids as guinea pigs to be sacrificed when they were conceived.

I guess that eye-armed woman isn't Lucy, she's using first person pronouns and feels embarrassment.

>>238045
My understanding is that the family were "keepers" of the Life Fiber Core for many generations. They likely wore clothing that was entirely from Life Fibers, and over time would fuse with them (likely about the time they hit adulthood.) The experiments on her kids were probably just trying to hasten the fusion, giving the host more power and better control over Life Fibers.

Junketsu is probably the end of the normal fusion. Once their body had become used to Life Fibers, they would put on their "wedding dress" and the fusion would be complete, with the suit taking over. This would also explain why Satsuki had to "Override" when transforming.

"If you want him to be candid in the future, remember that the key is liquor, and lots of it."

>>238211
Everything he did, he did to protect her from the court doing much worse to her.
He is truly the hero she deserves, not the one she needs.

>>238217
How did having her wash her face off while the rest of the class sat in silence and waiting until the first class was over to tell her she was being held back protect her from the Court?

>>238218
They started putting the tracking devices in the makeup,
You see.

>>238217
He's an emotionally abusive, neglectful deadbeat. He might have had good intentions with some of his moves, but that doesn't make him a hero by any stretch of the imagination.

>>238217
No. He's still a bad person, and the hurt he suffered is not an excuse to abuse others.

Some things where out of his control, yes. But he's far too broken to care for anyone. He followed his own hubris and is flinging the residue of his consequences on others. He can be forgiven. But not until he makes things right or admits to his failures to the one person that he need to admit it to.

>>238223
I think it can happen and I want them to bond, but she still has to repeat the grades. If just to keep the court from using it as leverage over her.

>238218
He said she reminded him too much of Surma. IIRC she was generally depicted wearing makeup similar to Annie. The make-up might have also been him buying time to collect himself.

>>238245
Wow, that thing is still going on? At least the art has improved a lot.

>>238346
Good to see we're back on track.

Ah, webcomics, the worst case of the fanficition disease. I avoid it like the plague these days - have been burned already by following a few that meandered for eternity and went nowhere, oh and they ALWAYS pull the Drama Tag and turn grimdark. Even the comedic ones.

>>238393
Because god forbid anything challenge the status quo and keep the series from growing stale.

>>238577

I think he's referring to Shortpacked!, which from what little I can tell wasn't that good to start with, then got worse. In fact, given Ctrl+Alt+Del, Sinfest, and countless others, shit usually gets worse when they try to pull the long and involved drama storyline in what was previously gag-a-day.

Has there ever been a gag-a-day or a funny strip that got serious later and actually got better/good? All I ever hear about are the ones that started to suck.

The problem with asking this question is how much it's going to revolve around "lol, opinions." Like I thought Homestuck was way better after getting its myth arc fully going, but I'm not sure that's the popular opinion on 4chan-affiliated sites these days. I feel like Order of the Stick is far better now than when it started, too.

>>238785
Homestuck's a difficult example since it went through that shift several times over. At least the first time, it worked. Which point it ultimately jumped the shark and went stupid is where opinion comes in.

>>238786
At any rate, I feel like (while I enjoyed Act 1), Acts 2-4 (maybe 5, but I don't know if it was quite as strong as 2-4) were when Homestuck was at its strongest, and when, during my archive binge, I was frantically clicking pages to get to the next one to see what happened next.

I actually still enjoy Homestuck, unlike a lot of people, but I think anyone who ever enjoyed Homestuck probably enjoyed at least Acts 2-4 more than they enjoyed Act 1. I'm not certain of that--I haven't done surveys or anything--but it's the impression that I get. Although Act 5 definitely has the most popular Flashes.

Yo this Coyote chapter is the most legit Gunnerkrigg has been in years.

>>238921
Elder gods make the best friends.

>>238926

I forgot that comic existed.

>>239321
So Annie's helpless against cute things that she can't stay mad at?

>>239321
And now she knows the why her father did what he did so she has less a reason to be angry

>>239330
Anger and reason make poor bedmates.

>>239579
Heavy Metal, you might say.

And yes, it is indeed The Shit.

>>239718
Okay my interest is piqued. What comic is it?

>>239720
From the maker of Never Mind the Cap.

>>239991
I'm sure it's not only the second time. They're a fairly common element in Irish folklore.

>>239994
So just asking

Well.. That was a quick chapter.

>>240372
Keep it simple, maybe we'll see something that they had a nice chat about things and decided they need to work together towards her best interests.
