Well, honestly. I wouldn't change a whole lot so much as I would just start putting character's on a bus/having them fade into the background. There's more than I can probably remember off the top of my head, but for example: Charlotte, Lucy, Catalina, Rhoda, Ashley, Jay, Liz, Justin, George, Tensaided, Greg, Noah all could get sidelined and not much would really change/no one would really care.

If I were to make any big changes, I think it would be having Justin sort of phase out of the main cast after the birthday party/when Elliot and Susan begin their review show. Ever since the birthday party he hasn't truly been a main cast member or had anything interesting happen with him that I can recall. He just sort of exists to give the characters a reason to hang around the comic shop for slice of life stuff. The only time he's done something interesting was when he kicked the fire guy and that was after a long boring period and was followed by an even longer more boring period that still hasn't ended. Anything you wanted to do with him could easily have been replaced by having Justin and/or Susan hanging out at work talking with adding in George or Tensaided as needed.

I'd also probably combine George and Tensaided into one character since they fulfill basically the same role in the story and neiter are that important. In fact, if I could get away with it I might just replace them both with Sensei Greg and just have the Dojo be a back room of the comic shop/video store and have the joke be that it's what actually pays the bills (it would also work thematically with the Anime Style Martial Arts Dojo.)

I would probably have the video store and comic shop be the same place like a type of Sam Goody since there's really no need for them to be different places at all narrative-wise.

I dunno, but it will be interesting to see. I'm curious if they'll address Tedd's Mom petticoating him and dressing him up as a sissy, leading to his gender confusion. Honestly an AU where Tedd grew up with his abusive Mother and is a mindbroken sissy slave that gets saved by Grace or Elliot would be frickin' killer. Bonus points for it used old school straw feminist Susan and resulted in her having a mindbreak from it, but Dan would probably never do something that based nowadays. I'm honestly shocked he even put that in Tedd's backstory to begin with.

The lore explaining should have been migrated from the main comic to the NP so that the former could have been slimmed down. I honestly wonder if Dan has inadvertently cultivated a fanbase that expects everything to be explained, forcing Dan to waste time explaining things to cater to them, further emphasizing the autistic need for explanation in an unholy Ouroboros that results in massive amounts of slowdown.

I admit the trap of lore dumps over story got me when I was younger.

Then you get older and come to understand that the lore does not matter to the audience, so long as it is remains consistent. That definitely one of Dan's biggest problems, everything must be explained, and once explained it is made safe

To the point the magic been altered to make unintended effects from casting spells impossible.

It's for Tedd's protection as in 'She's a Magical Monster Hunter and she knows there's a small horde of monsters out there gunning to take a bite directly from her; so the way to protect the Kid she though had ended up with ZERO magical ability would be to be elsewhere so he couldn't get caught in the crossfire. And next time she wouldn't make the same mistake, the father of her next child would be from the line of a monster hunter with an unimpeachable prestige. Hence her second son is 'Van'. As in, 'Van, Surname is probably Hellsing'.

It would honestly be preferable if he just kept lore dumping to the commentary or as an alternative if he did a type of double issue where one was just panels of expo dumping like in the above and then posted the actual comic where things happen.

He could also try just ignoring the hypothetical autists for a bit and see if it actually messes with his views/revenue stream. I mean, those people have to watch/read other things where the characters don't explain things ad nauseum.

But does Dan go on exposition rants because he has no other way to fit it into the story, or is it because he has no story to tell anymore and wants to keep the comic going his way instead of doing what he should be doing, like Grace and or Ellen magically zapping the girl's clothes off?

If that was true, then Dan would have released a DND module for EGS. Hell, Wendy's had a DND game giveaway once.
Exposition and girl enf/nudity fun is EGS's only two true settings. Everything else exists to make those two things happen. And Dan thinks that he has to keep the bikini funtime down to Low, which is why the exposition is so overused.
Dan should just drop everything and throw Grace, Elliot, Ellen, Ted, and maybe Hope into a portal to an arena on Griffon world, maybe Magus world. Get some action going. Action in bikinis.

It also works because both type of brick and mortar stores have trouble staying open. Video store is obviously a dead business now, and comic shops are closing left and right.

Sensei Greg making them sell anime stuff would unironically be what saves them from going out of business. They can still rent videos to the handful of freaks left that pay for that, but manga sells better than comics and it gives a natural point of comedic banter to have the comic book fan arguing with the weeb shop owner.

Originally dropped the comic because of this. Ellen yelling like a schizo and threatening Tedd of all people seemed far out of character and just felt like drama for drama's sake. The frame after where she walks off and left Tedd there like a discarded pest didn't help matters. The end of the arc was good and the reconciliation was handled well, but re-reading this again makes me realize that Dan could've handled this whole setup way better and in a way that didn't result in Ellen threatening physical fucking harm to Tedd.

Quite the Hammer plot was already very boring. But this plot really hammers in the downgrade of the comic.

Just look at this date, no body swap, no transformation. Their was basically no jokes, or humor.

And the issue brought up, is also a big nothing. Ellen was accidentally created, so what they have already had an entire arc about that. As well as some follow up the birthday party to fully settle the matter.

This really makes me think that Grace really should have started a relationship with Ellen, before the Damian fight. Then it would be Tedd getting wrapped up with is work, while Grace just switches her affections to focus more on Ellen. That puts the onerous on Tedd to take action for once in the relationship.

The mother has black hair. Wasn't she named Noriko? Sounds Japanese. She may have left the family to move to Britain.

Dan making a long comic about the hammer joke was him introducing a magic system into the EGS world. It was sensible, and had some funny parts. Readers need to know what magic does, where it comes from, and what the side effects of it are. EGS magic is some sort of background force, there are no side effects other than gaining more ability to use magic. Egs magic might be a more benign magic-set than Harry Potter. Nobody turns into skeletons, life drainers, blood drinkers, or madness-blessed. There are the aberrations, but the origin of them was never explained anyway. There might be a clue in the exposition of Not Tengu, should reread that.
Now, if Dan wants to do a month long comic about something, he needs to understand that he NO LONGER needs to do page after page of text. Just get to the zapping of girls into bikinis, or less.

I was literally just thinking this. Like, come on. Ellen of all people is basicaly original Elliot with still being snappy and a little pervy, PLUS she's got all of Elliot's memories with him AS WELL AS other world memories where she was friends with another Tedd. She should be besties with him for every reason except it would make it kind of awkward to fit Elliot into things if that were the case (plus he's kind of responsible for her very birth which Grace has already mentioned.)

And then Nanase is literally his blood cousin. Even if they don't get along great you're telling me they never do Thanksgiving, Christmas, or birthdays or something? She can put up with it because he's literally family. (also another point for Ellen is that he might be a future in-law.)

It's literally the perfect idea. Even with Dan's insistence on nothing ever happening we would at least get some cool fight scenes and possibly visual demonstrations to go along with the info-dumping. Plus, it would be a good alternative to the ever increasing MtG tournaments. A bonus would be that it might be similar enough to the Tendo Dojo that it could reawaken some of Dan's old sensibilities.

It sure as hell seems like a retcon when you consider that one of Ellen's first reactions to waking up from her new memories was to run over and hug Tedd while telling him that he's plenty good.
>Ellen is not Elliot
Hilariously in this story time, despite Ellen trying to make it clear that she's her own person, she actually acts more like Elliot than she thinks (or at least a darker aspect of it). Elliot's gut reaction to thugs and bullies is to get very angry and prepare for combat. He's generally a nice guy otherwise. When Ellen confronted Tedd, she reacted exactly how Elliot would: get angry and ready to fight, except she did it to a friend. Normally, this could have been a cool thing to explore, but I think it was actually unintentional or subordinate to just getting to an apology.
Actually, Dan delving deeper into this would probably take a few more years, so nevermind.

I assumed Ellen tries too hard to purposelly distance herself from Elliot as a way to feel like her own person. Like being a clone is a big chip on her shoulder so she does the oposite of what she would do just because is what Elliot woild do.

I cannot see it as anything but wildly out of character. Ellen is no more prone to fits of rage around people then Elliot. And any issues between Ellen and Tedd should have been handled at the birthday party.

Even Nanase is a bit out of character as well. I get that Tedd had issues but at this point Tedd had Eliot helping him out for a couple of years. By the time the comic starts, Tedd's nowhere near closed off. But Nanase is acting like she has not seen Tedd for a good 4-5 years.

Probably another point in favor of getting rid of the 2 schools.

No, it's right. Ellen was evil, at the beginning, so she "used to be" prone to fits of rage or at least anger. It's only Ellen the normal EGS character that it looks OOC of, now.

It's funnt that Dan said that if he was to start again he would just make Ellen be Elliot's twin sister rather than give her a complicated backstory all over the place.

I would unironically be okay with Dan just fully rebooting EGS at this point and starting the story over with a better roadmap for his characters and cutting out the chaff.

Just noticed this is the first real hint that George is gay. Which kind of reinforces my idea to merge Justin and George. They serve the same narrative purpose. And Justin is good looking enough he should be getting dates.

>>149729366
That I hard disagree with, the Sister arc and the fallout from that was easily the best bits of egs. You cannot have that with Ellen being a normal human, that has always been around.
>>149729392
The comic started with most everything up to Grace's birthday plotted out. Everybody did something, every character had an arc that was fitted them. I doubt you could cut even 10% of original planned story and not feel that a lot has been left out.

Its really everything that came after that is the problem. The switch from a single thou line story, to episodic largely self contained stories. Without that narrative thou line keeping things on pace, and focused, Dan's writing slowed way the fuck down, and let his worse tendencies as a writer come out. Things might happen to one character, but the rest but the rest stays static, their no more since that the cast is moving together.

Oh I know what it is: people were assuming it was non-con because of Ash’s eyes.

You give him some pupils and it could be any kind of wacky situation but since he lacks them people are gonna go straight to mind control Also it was shockingly hard to find a good picture of Pokemon The First Movie Joy, I had to find a copy of the entire movie and scrub through it to get this screenshot.

Can I just say how garage a character Raven is. He somehow manages to be both plot critical, while being useless in all aspects.

He wants to be training the next generation of magical children, and manages to miss, or just fail to teach anybody, at just the currant point of the Storytime a full 6 different characters. And believe me it only gets worse.

His fight against Abramham was also pointless in the end. Secondly how did Raven, who has had decades to prep for attacks, and hundreds of years to train and gather magical power, lose to a single mortal. He should have easily overpowered Abramham.

If their was any change I would make about the post Birthday party, it would be removing Raven entirely. The fight against Abramham

Continuing on from the rewrite idea, of merging the 2 schools. The fight against Abramham needs to feel like Abramham is fighting a boss rush, and winning. Going first Nanase, into combo Cheerleadra, Grace, followed by tagteam Susan, Ellen. Then Nanase recovers enough do her heroic sacrifice angel form.

Garage? Are you calling Mr Raven a tool, or did you autocorrect from garbage?
Yeah, Raven should have done more, but that wasn't the focus- introducing Abraham, explaining Ellen, and Nanase's sacrificial fight were the point.

Whoah, the boar story. Grace seems less useful than I remember from the first readthrough. Consistent personality writing, though.

Raven has not done anything that justifies his existence, in the entire comic. In fact Raven winding up dead some 2 decades ago, makes much more since from a story perspective. It gives Pandora much better reasoning for choosing to expose magic, as if it was public Raven would have lived. It also make the discovery of Susan, and Diane hit much harder, and gives a reason for Pandora to refresh, since a part of Raven lives on in them

Abramham taking on the entire cast and winning, would be both a wakup call, and be good motivation for all the characters. They are a bunch of talented people, but they have zero in way of actually skilled training. Greg's admits his martial arts are self made up, no way is his AMA, actually good. Same like if you took the best fighter of 2 centuries ago, and put them in the ring with a modern MMA fighter, the MMA fighter would pretty much always win, the training and technigues of modern day are much more refined.

A single properly trained wizard, like Abramham winning against the massive number disadvantage helps showcase the difference, and gives the cast some motivation to not sit on their butts.

Dont remove him, he is the hottest woman for a single comic. Instead, make him be constantly transformed and Hit on by his students.

That is a genuine spoiler
He's Susan's great-great-great grandfather, the "fact" that half-immortals can't have children is deliberate misinformation spread by immortals even among themselves
He IS in fact Diane's father

Raven is needed or else it's just the usual bunch of teens with power and no guidance. There's no wider scope, unless you count "found Merlins" like Jerry and Pandora. Abraham could have been just a gang leader. Abraham does nothing that Damien wouldn't have done, while targeting Grace instead of Ellen. Having Raven in their midst forces the gang to look around with more concentration.

That's a good change. Though, now I'm thinking maybe Raven realzing he sucks would be a good excuse for Greg to re-open the Dojo. He was afraid of his ability to handle the students, but with Raven's help it could work. Maybe they could get some approximation of a Soun and Genma relationship going. (Also, would be a neat excuse to get Noah back into the story. He and Elliot/Nanase could spar at the Dojo. Also a good excuse to get them hanging out again.)

Don't read if you don't want a spoiler but he kind of just fades into the background soon and is more just talked about by other characters while not actually doing anything. I think Dan actually put him on a bus by having him go on a "short trip" that's lasted a few years now.

Honestly, while I'm afraid of Randy syndrome happening he really should make Mr. Verres a main character at this point. The few times we've focused on him have been actually pretty cool.

You're good until we get to Identity, but you won't realize what happened until So A Date At the Mall. You'll know it when we get there even if it's not announced it's right after a really cool thing happens with a majority of the cast and then a new cast member gets introduced out of nowhere.

I don't want to get anyone's hopes up but the latest comic makes it sound like Dan's planning on ACTUALLY MAKING SOMETHING HAPPEN for once.

Also, any drawfags wanna take a crack at X-raying Nanase?

Thing you have got to understand which Greg eventually did, is his anime martial arts is incredibly bad. Nobody cared about his dojo not even Tedd's dad the guy whose entire job is to prevent people from learning about magic.

If somebody in the know about magic wanted to learn magical martial arts. They would get training in a real developed magical martial art, which is a thousand times better then the first gen crap Greg is using

Again you could remove or even better have Raven die a few decades ago, and basically nothing changes.

Magical training if the kids actually wanted it they have contacts to get training from some of the best teachers on the continent. And frankly Pandora works way better as a character with scenes of her ranting at a memory.

It would also give the story a narrative thou-line of the main cast having to figure out what happened all those years ago. Why did Tedd's parents divorce, how did Raven die, which set off Pandora etc.

Technically, we can't know for sure until we see some of these supposed other styles. For all we know their generations of refinement might have raised their success rate from 1/1000 to 1/100, compared to Greg's rate.

We do actually Greg’s style is basically throw shots in the dark and hope to get lucky. No actual proven ways to increase magical power. Reminder he went broke with Nanese around with casual flight.
