Whoa!
holy shit….
what’s got Meltdown so hot under the collar?
Big bada-boom!
Loving the ripple effect blowouts on the windows. That is a NICE touch.
I hope one of Hollywood’s powers is immunity to fire. Or being really, really tough.
It was a stuntman. RIP, #3758.
His true power revealed!
Nah, he has Bruce Willis’s ability to shrug off explosions. Like this https://youtu.be/ABBnYtkGlHY?t=3m59s
He’ll be fine, as long as he looked away and started walking in time.
Reminds me of that old WB cartoon where this guy shows up for a variety audition, blows himself up, and then his ghost complains that “I can only do it once.”
You mean Curtain Razor, http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x46xi22
I think I know the one you’re talking about. It was Daffy Duck iirc
It’s interesting. I pulled up two different “Daffy in a devil suit” videos with this gag, done at different times with different endings. But the one I remember I can’t find. It was a lot older, and it was a wolf character of some kind.
The one with the wolf involved a bunch of acts trying to impress a talent agent. The one with Daffy was when Daffy was trying to outdo Bugs in a series of various escalating acts and skits.
Poor Hollywood. I used to know him, Downtown. A man of great intelligence and comedic import. Not so big in the common sense department though.
Ladies and gentlemen please, will you turn your attention to me.
A feast for your eyes to see; an explosion of catastrophy.
O.o
Yowza.
Someone call the insurance company- we got a fire damage claim…….
That was Daffy Duck, who spent the entire cartoon trying to upstage Bugs. https://youtu.be/7tC-d1AL0bI
Long time reader, first time commenter.
Beautiful….
Boom indeed.
But considering they are superheroes, there is a decent chance he survived that relatively unharmed.
Looks at Meltdown and says “see that is why we can’t have nice things”
Looks like somebody kept those three action points for supernova… =p
“That’s gonna leave a mark”
“Now here’s something you can’t do!”
So, clearly Hollywood has all the powers of a Hollywood Action Star, meaning all he needs to do to avoid taking damage from this explosion is to slowly walk away without looking at it.
“No boom today. Boom tomorrow.”
Err…I don’t think “meltdown” quite covers this degree of explosiveness. That’s sort of like calling a stick of TNT a firecracker. I think Meltdown needs to talk to her PR person and discuss re-branding. 😀
“How about Boom Boom Baby!”
“No.”
“Mega Boom Boom Baby?”
“No.”
“EXTREME Boom Boom Baby?”
“No.”
“Katie Ka-Boom?”
“You’re fired.” KA-BOOOOM!
😀
do you think Diana M!ght would work? Pronouncing the “!” is kinda hard, but the rest is good.
She’s TNT, she’s Diana Might.
She’s TNT, and she’ll win the fight.
She’s TNT, she’s a power load.
Watch her EXPLOOOODE.
The only two people who could have put a proper sound effect on this would be either Jack Kirby or Don Martin, and they’ve both passed on. Best to leave it to the imagination.
Eh. Kirby, not Don Martin. It would have to be an explosion of creamed spinach or a spring factory or shrimp boat or something suitable for Martin’s particular brand of onamonapia. Something that can go ‘Schwubbleplapple’ as a believable sound effect.
My personal favorite was a collapsing building: “FAGROOOOON! Klubble Klubble Klubble…”
(From memory, might not be exact spelling)
well…anyone got marshmallows?
So… Let’s throw logic at this.
The GM is far too nice to kill a character in the first session.
Hollywood’s name doesn’t give many clues. With a name like that it implies acting ability, reinforced by his invoking Shakespeare. Shapeshifting? Illusions? We know he’s powerful enough to be the on-site super for a very secure facility.
Meltdown had to go big to take him down, so she knows a small blast won’t cut it. As hyooge as that is, he can take it.
Toughing it out – Armor? Force field?
Avoiding it – Intangibility? Hyper speed (he’s also rescued the staff of the facility)?. Probably NOT time skipping, as that’s someone else’s schtick. Dimensional shift?
Surviving injury – Powerful healing factor (might work with a shapechanger)? Multi-body with a few dupes offsite?
I like the stunt double idea the most still XD
Oooh… I LIKE that… A nice thematic use of a multi-body duplication power. I can see the table.talk now:
“You…holy crap, you just VAPORIZED his character?!”
“You want to tell them or shall I?”
*ahem* “That wasn’t me, that was my stunt double!”
The on-site super is the always one that gets his ass kicked in the prologue so that we get a sense of how powerful the star of the book is.
*must be
A sense of how powerful the villain is, and so how powerful the star of the book must be to defeat him/her/it.
Wow, this is convoluted.
“well that was a blast”
This is why you don’t put foil in the microwave, Steve!
Look at this dip, acting all high-and-mighty like real life never gets in his way sometimes. If you’re going to be as petty as to consider a labor of love such as this web comic, something he offered for no other reason than he wants to tell a story – if you were going to consider something like this as a mere, emotionally-devoid “”product””, then go to WallSt. – that’s where heartless folks like that belong. We don’t want you here.
I’m just hoping Brian didn’t get in an auto accident and end up hospitalized or something like that. You think of that one?! (If something did happen Brian, and we can help any, please let us know!)
I think it’s more the “coming on here and announcing to everyone that he was deciding not to be a Patreon supporter any more, as if rubbing it in” that got some folks.
And Pyrpyr does have a good point. What if something happened to Brian, or something disrupted his internet access? It’s not like there’s a huge staff here in a multi-billion dollar comic production company with other artists on standby.
There’s people with tact, and then there’s people on the internet! :/
