Mako's Collection: Mother Of The Gods

[Miss Mako]

Hey hey all!!
Here's a new TF TG comic short based on one of my all time favs. The art was done by the very talented Andrea Montano.

Cheers
Mako

Amazing. Are your comics available to buy?

Who else got the early Indy vibe when the name 'Henry' was mentioned?

Music kind of gave it away for me instantly and was QUITE distracting. Still was very nicely drawn piece.

Ah, I just never watch them with the music on.

I like when you do movie tie ins (though the star wars one is still easily my favorite of your movies). Though I wish instead she became an incarnation of the Goddess or something instead of just a woman.

Are your stories in text, please put them up.

Great minds think alike.

That made the revelation a true surprise.

I didn't get the Indy references because I never actually saw an Indy movie, so I felt the music was just trying way too hard and the ending felt too...not. I'm assuming it only feels like an ending if you're familiar with Indiana Jones, and since I wasn't, I was just confused as to why the video decided to just...stop without any actual conclusion. It felt like this was the first part of something, but not in a way that left me wanting more. Just in a way that felt kinda hollow.

The art was nice, but ultimately I can't say I enjoyed this. I understand everyone else will because I'm like the only person who hasn't watched something with Harrison Ford in it, but I still felt like putting my two cents in because I feel like the best homages are the ones that work even when the viewer doesn't get the reference and they can enjoy it on its own merits.

I'm confused by your two cents. First I never really mention this was an "homage" - but even if it was - an "homage" how is the viewer supposed to even understand what the "homage" is if they've never seen or heard the original? The basis for many of these comics I have been making is that they set up an alternate history to iconic characters - and rely on the viewer to know some history before they watch. If you don't know it - it's not my fault.

To me... that's like criticizing Back To The Future 2 for not having either a beginning or an ending if you've never seen the first movie or the third - and being totally confused by what's going on.

You kinda answered your own question there. If I had known it was an Indiana Jones thing before clicking, I either wouldn't have watched or watched it with different expectations. The problem with the Back To The Future 2 example is that it has 2 in the name. It is obviously connected to at least one other story and I need to be familiar with both to get a good picture.
