  1. I've never thought Rayg was much of a comic kit, seeing as it's kind of a game-ish style. It's interesting to see this though; I have that position and I was inspired by Dark709.

     

    I remember when I started out making comics that there seemed to be a lot of Dark709-bashers. And I don't mean like today, when people say that he kind of overuses his jokes a bit--I agree with that. I mean, they bashed Chimoru Omega, they bashed his Liveswif closeups (which I know from experience are extremely hard to make), they bashed everything. I think Pohuaki once had to clean up his topic, if I remember correctly. When the Duck Avatar fad temporarily resurfaced a couple years back, one of these people decided to join it because "it was better than having Chimoru Omega sprites as an avatar." In the BZP Comics Wiki's early days, there was once a comment that "it's not very hard to be a spriter in Chimorou Omega, in which any blob of pixels is considered acceptable."

     

    And that was just in my time on the forum. I'm not sure where the change came from either. I can see that the lines are gone now; I was inspired by Dark709 but I'm doing a plot-based series and a humor-based series at the same time.

     

    But the change obviously came about in the past three years, seeing as it was obviously within the time I've spent on the forum. So that could be where to start researching.

  2. Read The Hobbit before The Lord of the Rings. I have The Silmarillion, but I haven't read it--I remember it being extremely boring, but I think I made that opinion back when I was in sixth grade.

     

    The Screwtape Letters was good; I read it a few months ago. Also, the order you read The Chronicles of Narnia depends on whether you want to read them in chronilogical order or the order they came out. I usually prefer reading them in the order they came out-- The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair, The Horse and His Boy, The Magician's Nephew, then The Last Battle.

  3. I think this was the best Harry Potter movie so far, if only because of the fact that just about all of the scenes were too vital to the overall plot to be cut out. Which is why the fifth movie sucked; most of the memorably awesome scenes were not vital to the overall plot and were cut.

     

    I noticed that the climax of the motorcycle ride and the escape from Godric's Hollow were not as intense as the book made them. In the first, the sidecar did not fall off, they didn't crash land into the Tonks' backyard, and Hagrid was completely conscious. In the second, Voldemort didn't even show up; it was like OH NO SNAKE O= and they blasted it and left after like ten seconds of silence.

     

    I am SO GLAD they actually put Dobby in this movie. I was half expecting them to replace him with Neville like they persist in doing, including killing him off instead too. I think Dobby's my favorite character. Especially after his line. :P

     

    I noticed that neither the Taboo nor the Diadem of Ravenclaw were mentioned, so I wonder how that's going to work out.
