FB 6/20 - Rant on ages of the Sonichus

quite a bit of anime in a nutshell

 

Oh man, this is spicy. "Mister Bill" is gold. I wonder what will happen next. Will Chris-sempai block Water-chan? Also, pay attention to how he refers to his characters as "my family". He just keeps slipping further from sanity with every new day. And no Chris, your characters don't have growth because that implies they have personalities that are capable of change.

 

Ironically Chris himself is mentally equivalent to the typical fourth grader age....with the body of a 60 year old grandmother

 

I...this is so autistic it hurts.

 

"that doth protest me"

I just find it endlessly amusing how Chris uses phrases like that in order to make himself sound more well-spoken and intelligent then he actually is.

 

and such

 

Like....it's okay to skip forwards to 2017. You could do a little bit of narrative and say that the homophobic laws in cwcville were repealed and it's grown into a more diverse, supportive community. Maybe the bad guys stopped fucking with the city for awhile. That's okay!

But that would take planning so I guess not.

 

Yeah, I mean, Chris kinda offed all of them and the only survivor is obviously going to need time to raise a zombie army or whatnot.

 

That part with chris whining about how he can't have a 9 year gap is a weird bit of thinking. Time Skips happen a lot in stories, its to give the characters time to adjust or grow without seeing the boring daily grind. Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece all did this at one point, and my guess is that chris didn't like the idea. He wanted to stick with the characters and watch them grow in real time, which from a story telling perspective would bore everyone else but him.

But saying that 'nothing would happen in 9 years' is even more stupid. Shit does happen in that stretch of time, you'd just have to explain it after the fact. I'm really starting to see chris has about as much an understanding of plot construction that's as ass-backwards and painful as they way he holds a pen.

 

I've asked this before, but I could have sworn Chris later retconned that to "Oh, they were just sent to prison to serve out their punishment" instead of being killed, because quite a few weens/"fans" called Chris out for being just as bad as trolls for writing something so violent about them.

 

Chris could have just used the timeskip plot device to explain away all of this new shit. Hell, he could have done all of Sonichu 12 about the stuff that happened during the period of time between the Christmas special and this new stuff. It's so easy to fix everything and yet he doesn't or better yet fuck it up even more. The continuity of Sonichu is certainly something.

 

Guarantee one of the ponies on his cartoon show said it and he's just regurgitating the line.

 

Wouldn't shock me one bit if this was true.

 

Not to my knowledge, but I had a moment of clarity and stopped watching it a few seasons ago.

You also have to love how Waterman accusingly said Chris wrote and essay while writing and unreadable wall of text.

 

it's a tard calling out another tard, is it *really* that shocking?

 

I forgot how poor a writer Chris is, he really does write on a grade school level, and transmits his emotion instead of using words but by inserting actions in it. He's quite angry about this. I don't know if it was weens or people just wondering because there are, or by now should say, were honest fans of Sonichu. (Note to self kill myself because my auto correct knows Sonichu)

I can't say I know half of the characters he's mentioned. I know I'm not much in touch with pop culture, but I always thought it was in a way cute and annoying how Chris just assumes what he likes is right so you would like it and know it too.

I oddly find myself agreeing with Chris don't over think it, I can think of examples like how he mentioned Bart Simpson is the same age, while in universe of the Simpsons, people have had serious life changes including death indicating time passes. Media can do this stuff, just deal. Now with Chris what's different, he skips flash backs etc. You don't see baby Bart in current day, it goes back to 19XX. It's just Chris wanting to suit the character to the story of the moment. Frankly I think it's silly to do but than again this is Chris so, expectations are a bit lowered.

I guess for all the hard we give him, the family line, I found profoundly sad. I suspect he's got some deep seeded resentment for blob, bob has passed he's got a few people who tolerate him and Sonichu. That's all, and that's all it will be. When I read lines like that, I assume he's have a very hard dose of reality. It's hard enough to look in the mirror objectively even if you are a over all happy productive good person. For Chris, when the fact living in filth never getting to socialize, never getting laid, always being broke, and soon completely at the will of the world. It's gotta be hard.

In regards to him writing back Waterman, I think he really just wanted to talk about Sonichu and any interacting, it's sad he gives into such low bait at times, but then again, Chris wouldn't be Chris if he ever learned. Also, lol at calling that a Thesis... I've written and judged 'em. That's well to put politely, not one.

 

Ok, this seems to be a combination of Chris not being able to tell the difference between the following:

1. Animated sitcoms where continuity isn't a big deal and characters remain frozen at a specific age. Chris can't grasp that a sitcom character's age is usually a static value while their birthdate simply slides forward to accommodate for the passage of time IRL.
2. Shows where time passes but for marketing reasons everyone is still the same age despite spergs counting the total number of sunsets in the entire series and concluding that at least five years should have passed.
3. Shows where characters simply don't have explicit ages and not enough in-universe time passes for them to visibly age.
4. Characters who have actual in-universe justifications for their ages. "Robot" and "Either immortal or close to it" are considered valid excuses.
5. Shows where character's DO age if enough time passes in-universe.

Chris can't grasp the nuance between these details and seems to think that writers just pick and choose which of these rules apply to which characters.

 

I don't know what is worse, Chris Typing with Random Capitals, Waterman being just as bad or me who isn't adding anything new to the conversation. Who calls themselves Waterman though? Seriously?

 

It's his last name.

It's like how on South Park, Cartman is called Cartman, even though his first name is Eric.
