But old people only have a little bit of life left in them, whereas a boy is full of potent boy-energy.
or maybe it was using it's big old claw to cover up the kid and then was going to toss it in it's mouth without petrifying it.
I mean, come on, basilisks gotta eat somehow.
a wizard did it
you're debating the logic of magical mythical creatures
this is like debating whether Solomon Grundy or Thor are stronger or whether Wolverine could beat The Flash
Edit: If it really bugs you that much, I guess you could ignore me?
It's like Batman vs Superman, Batman always wins until they become BFFs in the end and defeat a greater evil.
Metroid could totally beat Doctor Who
Man wolverine would kick flash's ass.
Brute facts? For a fantasy comic about a magical forest where little children are sent out to face off against magical chicken lizards that can turn you to stone?
It's not like the story was about an airplane and its potential to take off on a treadmill vs a normal runway. We're not debating Newtonian physics. It's a fucking fantasy comic. A wizard did it with magic and elves or some shit.

Chickens are are all kinds of stupid.
Now if you'd said crows I might buy it.
Because crows are the einsteins of the avian world.

No, birds are known to ingest stones that stay in their gizzard and aid in the digestion process.

you're making a judgment about the comic, which you're certainly allowed to do (no doubt you feel I'm saying you can't judge the comic but that's completely missing my point)
but if you're going to say, "this is what's wrong with the comic"
I'm also allowed to say, "no that part of the comic totally makes sense, it's really simple"
so stop backpedaling and trying to make me look like I'm reading too much into what you're saying
Defensive much? I'm not criticizing anything (except maybe the name thing), and it's not like you're the writer or artist, so what do you care anyway?
The answer is, of course, Batman.
My problem is you keep posting stupid shit.

The gizzard
chickens might eat stones and such because, yea, they are dumb, but those serve a purpose
I wonder how many people who were all "grr, we are cheated" are now going to be like "grr, this story is dumb and makes no sense!"

Hunter's problem is: Could an airplane could take off if it was on a conveyor belt running in the opposite direction at the same speed that the airplane was trying to accelerate forwards?
If you get the answer wrong he eats you and throws you in a chasm. Not necessarily in that order. But possibly in that order.
"oh I'm stupid am I? Well uh, YOU'RE STUPID. In your face!"
WHICH BOY
DUN DUN DUUUUUUN

I'm sure they had to ok the story since they already knew about it (PROOF!)

The artist attempted some things that not everyone liked, and they are entitled to not like the style the artist chose. It was a bit inconsistent at some times, a lot of elements confused me when I first saw them, but that was a stylistic choice. Nothing in the art is ambiguous when you read all of the strips together as one entity, but taken in pieces as they were given to us, the style confuses.
You can tell the writer works for TV because each individual strip has a mini-cliffhanger and you can take the intermission between panels as a commercial break. It works very well if you read them all at once with the loading of the next comic serving as the intended small break.
How many people thought "well this explains everything!" when they saw the next panel in the series? Quite a few even in this thread here. This Arc would have been fine broken up in pieces like it was in a daily format and would not have attracted as much vitriol as it did.
tl;dr
Arc is great when taken as a whole, not very good split up as it was.
It's not that I don't get the story, I just don't think it was well-crafted.
I could probably take a random frame from each minute of Star Wars and you'd still get the basic idea, but it wouldn't make it a very well-told story. Having all the pieces is not the same as a smoothly functioning whole.
Absolutely.
I was just pointing out that chickens are incredibly stupid creatures and posing that it very well may be totally unintentional on their part while also noting crows have been known to display some incredible intelligence.
I mean I guess we could have a debate on whether or nor chickens intentionally ingest stones or not if you want to. But while I'm only pretty sure it won't go anywhere I'm positive that if we did it in this thread in particular it would not end well.
Becuase it annoys me that your using an extremely stupid reason for the comic being bad, the name thing being an even worse example of this? Why do we debate about anything? Mainly to change and/or make up someones mind. I find it kind of revealing however you switched to "Why do you care?" as two people brought up a seperate but related point that pretty much destroyed yours.
Only the Sith deal in absolutes.

Hmm, that could be a real problem then.
Well that took the wind right out of my sails. :P
Not really, no.
