Your Asperger's knows no bounds!

Why is that bad?

I chat with them, and they seemed alright. If they my overreactions hilarious, I have to laugh too.

Hey. At least you take it a stride I guess

I can chat with them, and the fact they bring that up just makes me smile.

I don't see why this is "LOL, you're so stupid S/D!!!"

This is absolutely the last thing I'm going to post in regards to defending Arena. When it comes out, I'll talk about how I felt about that particular issue, but I'm done with all the other stuff after this.

The following are both quotes from Dennis Hopeless in the letter page at the back of the book.

"The number one goal of Avengers Arena is character development, I think you'll find it's much more teen drama than slasher film"

"I promise you this won't be an all-action fight book, or worse, a meat grinder. It's a character driven story. Every fight and every death will be in service of that story. That's what we're shooting for anyway."

That's too bad bc I don't care about hardly any of the characters

The first issue was boring :/

And if we all find them annoying, do you find them annoying too?

I was going to mention how upset I was that they never addressed who the Walkers were Michonne was dragging along. I think they missed a solid opportunity of character development and interesting conflict.

spoilers:

I know in the comic she just sliced 'em down and then later explained who they were. But that's the real missed opportunity in the longer form of TV storytelling. And making Andrea sick is a total friggin' cop out. Why they left their safe house was weak. They should have either been overrun or if they didn't leave, Andrea would have died. As it was stated, Andrea just didn't want to die there. Wha? In the woods: The conflict is that Andrea might "cough" and give up their location. What is potentially more interesting is that Andrea is forced to pair up with a seemingly total psychopath who is using her ex-boyfriend zombie as a deterrent. Keep Andrea healthy and conflicted. And when Michonne has to slice of their heads -- not knowing who they are or what they mean to Michonne eliminates all meaningful tension. Just shutting them up to shut them up is flat and boring. Especially knowing that one of them is her boyfriend and the other one is his best friend. There was a way to get that out - and under conflict to boot - and they didn't do any of it.

But whatever. Hopefully it gets better for me. If not. I'm done.

I believe they've said they will.

spoilers:

Everything around Andrea sucks. She's the worst. No amount of zombie backstory will make her interesting.

People at Marvel suddenly like SBDB's rant now that they're in this thread and they bug the majority of people here.

Marvel's War on IAM continues.

They probably like SBDB's rant because pre-orders for AA started shooting up the more he complained.

Giving credit even for an unintentional and unintended result is not helping the whole self awareness thing here KI

I don't want to pretend he's that important. The only thing I think went up because of SBDB was the use of the ignore button.

They definitely didn't delve into it or anything, and certainly not on Michonne's end, but Andrea at least had a throwaway line in Woodbury about them being Michonne's family and that she just cut them down without hesitation.

Yeah, I remember that too now that you mention it...but it was easily missed since there really was not that much weight given to it in the scene as I remember.

It would be nice if something happened to take away Michonne's ever-present scowl...but so far things have been pretty grim in her part of the story. Maybe she'll have a Daryl moment with the baby and she'll actually crack a smile.

As for Hurnslice, I don't know what to say except for me, the tension has been pretty high and I think they're very good at maintaining that sense of danger that came pop up at a moment's notice. Glen, man I really like him this season, season's one and two not as much

spoilers:

I hope the same thing doesn't happen to him as what happened in issue #100 of the monthly

Well I'm not going to keep rambling here. I know you guys find that stuff annoying.

That is probably true.
