Paradigms Lost ... so close, but not quite
Posted in The Story so far..., 7 months ago
After reading the full comic in less than hour that it takes, does anyone else think that there was a HUGE amount of potential within there that the writers did not have the time to expand on? (checking around shows that the project was rushed)
Does anyone else want to see someone take some time to expand the story, fill in the gaps and show the full potential contained within the online pages? Even if it's in another media, like written or visual?
Just a thought really. Wondering if I'm more or less on my own for this one.

The comic was more or less produced solely by the efforts of the fans, and yes I agree ~ it really did appear to be rushed!
The sudden convenient appearance of the code fairy thing (looked like something out of Rayman) just killed it for me. I had to literally force myself to finish the rest of it after that point (it was as pleasant as swallowing chunks of lead).
So much potential, yet all lost. There was so many areas where the story could of been expanded on... Hopefully, this comic at the very least provided some insight of the fans so that rainmaker animations will be able to make the perfect film that is needed to fully build up the market for Reboot, or so I hope anyway. :)

Yeah, hopefully the fan response to the comic (both parts) will be noted by Rainmaker and used as an incentive to get to work on the project, the market's not that hard to find.
That fairy code thing also was a huge downer, as was the ending and reappearance of Megabyte with Gnosis, that didn't quite make sense.

It was rushed, but at least they tried. I thank them for that.

I had no clue what was going on with some parts. The code fairy the sudden appearances of new characters. I tried to get into it but it went into the point of no return when things started moving so fast that I would get more questions with each page than answers. WHAT WAS THE POINT? Things just felt so disjointed that I only forced myself to read it hoping I'd get answers. I think my biggest problem with it was that there was no moments for fun that let the drama and action take a rest.

It was rushed. It would have been better if they took the time used the same artists and made a graphic novel.
Other times it seemed like they were not listening to us.

The whole story seemed to go around fast. I didn't finish it. Not only was the story going to fast, and unexpanded, but the artwork became more, and more sloppy.
Megabyte's death didn't feel like it should have, it just made me go "Oh, wow, wtf? Megabyte died pretty fast." and then soon after, the reappearance of him "It... It would have been better if he died epicly, left an impact, and it stayed that way."
When I was reading I was hoping it would be a lot more epic, seeing as it takes place as a graphic novel. I was also hoping it would be darker, or more suited to an older audience, since I'm sure that many of us whom watched the series as a kid, and grew up with it, are not kids anymore.
I semi-hope that someone with a solid non-silly, more serious styled, artstyle would take on this type of project. Perhaps change the comic storyline a lot, expand on everything, and perhaps make the feel of it a lot more pleasing.
