In topic: "Homestuck Animated Pilot Containment Thread"

adding my own (probably unwanted) opinion to this thread, i think it could be good but that doesnt mean i think it will. a lot of things in homestuck rely on the fact that its a webcomic (typing quirks and jokes related to them, doc scratch's text, etc. also feel like a lot of character will be lost from the fact that theyll have to cut down a lot of the dialogue for it to work) that i think will be lost in translation. also, its length seems like something that could be a problem for creating a show adaptation, unless theyre only planning on doing act one (which would suck as itd leave the story on a huge cliffhanger, it also seems unlikely by the fact that karkat is in the pilot) im not sure how theyll manage to do all 6 acts in a way that makes the show easy to get into and in a way that makes it have good pacing. im just overall kind of ehh about this whole thing. (also seriously, what is up with karkat being in the pilot? i know its not like a huge spoiler cause everyone knows karkat but it still feels weird for theming purposes, like the reveal that the online trolls that the kids are dealing with are literal trolls from another planet is so much better than having it just pop up in the literal pilot..) pretty much all i gotta say on it though. i hope its fine to post a long-ish rant on my dumb opinion LOL
