Guess I forgot to mention that, and thank you for pointing it out. Andy Price and Katie Cook are the ones that sometimes rely much on references (and I don’t deny most of them are cool or original, but others..), yet sometimes the other writers can might go too far (Celestia’s Micro for instance). But nothing beats in subtly the CMC Micro, now those were cool easter eggs.
It’s mostly Katie Cook and Andy Price’s comics that go overboard with the references. Most of the other writers and artists throw in references too, but those are usually much more subtle and not so in your face like Katie and Andy’s works…
Epic Movie isn’t parody
It’s just…something else entirely. Something bad.
Yeah, that’s something IDW has done right, although I still think they might get a little too overboard sometimes (The castle in Issue #4 or both Issue #11 and #12)
And ya, Friedberg and Seltzer movies are shit parodies, I get a headache any time I see a clip from one.
I can understand not liking a lot of as they are trying to hard(or not trying at all) or go on for to long, but the way it’s done in the IDW comics is fine, it’s just short and not in your face with it.
I like parodies when done right and hate them if not, this is how you do it, making small and short.
Maybe it’s just that I’m very critical around parodies, since it’s my least favorite kind of humor and at the same time my favorite. Blame it on having a bro who loves ALL kind of parodies, specially the mean-spirited ones or the totally stupid like Epic Movie.
As I have said, nothing wrong with the parodies and stuff in the comics, as unlike with The Simpsons it’s not “Oh looks at this, it’s something popular, looks at it” it’s just in the back having nothing to do with anything or getting in the way.
You seem to be too cynical about this.
besides, is not like EVERYONE would get those references, give the comic to a 10 years old, all those jokes would go though its head.
you are overthinking to much, those references are in the background anyway…
My main problem with the comic is that they are starting to rely in how many parodies they can have in a single page, sort of how New Simpsons try to parody everything, not even trying to making it fit or even have any kind of relevance. One or two shoutouts are fine specially if they are subtle, but when you have a whole background of them, it kinds of overshadows the actual storytelling.
The parody is from the IDW commics and they are full of references, so there is your answer to thay.
As for the crop, no we don’t need it as we talked a lot about it when the full page from the preview was posted.
i agree this crop is pointless but the joke itself? you are in killjoy territory now.
I don’t know, I liked Gekkonida Fillies.
Derpy Toes, man. Derpy Toes.
Ya, they are like “HAY GUYS DID YOU SEE THIS THING FROM THIS PAGE POSTED ALREADY?”
