Alright , let me begin.
1.) The layout. I really hated having to click each picture to see an
enlarged one , I , like I said before , have seen other versions of this
comic book layout , but they're all a big page , no clicking to enlarge. If
you just made the pages larger , it would be a big help , and would cut the
time it takes to load all the panels in half.
2.) The story. Who is this Wanderer? What is he doing on that road? Why is
eh there? Does this man have soem sort of troubled past? What? I don't like
it that wer'e given no background info on this man , wer'e just shot into
a scene of him walking down a road and beign ambushed by thieves..which
brings me to point three.
3.) The gore. Like it has been said before , very MK-esque , and MK and
Legos are one thing that should not be associated. And it has been said
before , petty thugs and theifs are usually of a lower intelligence , so
giving them a sound thrashing usually gets them off your back. Even if you
do have killing , turn down the gore , decapitation and all that is a no-no
, he could just stab them. And think abotu it , all the great heroes never
kill their enemies , lets take for example Batman , he never kills Joker's
thugs , he just beats them senseless and they tend to leave him alone. Same
with Batman. Even a wild example would be Steed from Avengers , he woudl
whack his assailints with an umbrella , and they would go away. It is set in
Feudal Japan , he could use some kung fu. If youv'e seen Crouching Tiger ,
Hidden Dragon , they mostly did use high flying kung fu.
4.)The (hat?) What's up with that? It looks a little large for his head.
If youv'e seen some of the new Ninja sets they have smaller versions of that
, maybe it would look mroe realistic if gave him a hat or whatever it is in
a smaller size.
The rest of the elements are exceptional , the building , picture quality
and fig designs ( except for the hat..which is a small complaint)

| Now Bryan, was that so hard? You stated what you thought, and you didn't need to resort to the name calling and mud slinging. Had you thought it through and posted this the last time you would NEVER have gotten the response you got. I know your only (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jul-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)
