The Next Short: A New Experiment (Interactive! Your ideas could be used!)

Metal Man · 12-02-2009, 02:09 AM

I can come up with ideas on my own, buuut... why don't we try something new?

This idea is simple. You propose ideas, and I pick them based upon what is popular/funniest in my mind.

So, round 1: Where does this short take place? Like, does it take place in that first SMB2 area Jay uses all the time? Or somewhere else?

If it's something weird like a frame from one of the past comics, please link it so I have a better idea.

You can also, of course, suggest locations that have never been used, but... if they don't have any good 8-bit approximations I'll probably have to skip anything too fantastic.

It should be a short about Metal Man.

So use Metal Man's stage from MM2.

Eric · 12-02-2009, 03:37 PM

THE WILDERNESS OF RUSSIA.

Robotazy · 12-02-2009, 03:53 PM

I vote for Bowser's Castle.

Redshirt · 12-02-2009, 04:00 PM

The Luigi Cave(From my unmade spoof of Batman)

Romplayer · 12-02-2009, 04:04 PM

It should take place in space. You know... Earth, Moon... hopefully without an explosion

Metal Man · 12-04-2009, 02:28 AM

'K. I'll think up which setting(s) to pick.

In the meantime, the next question cometh: Who should be in it?

Obvious rules for this one: No nominating yourself. Maximum 3 characters, it's a Short, not a story comic.

Robotazy · 12-04-2009, 02:32 AM

Hmmmmm.

How about Phone, Donez, and Zadok to start us off?

Romplayer · 12-04-2009, 05:29 AM

Kirby and Fred!
(It doesn't need three characters for a good short!)

Redshirt · 12-04-2009, 12:48 PM

Zadok, Captain Churro, and Luigi

(Luigi needs to appear more)

Dizzy · 12-04-2009, 01:46 PM

Executrain, Zadok, and Magruder.

MeowMan · 12-04-2009, 11:42 PM

Toad and Phone.

Gabriel · 12-05-2009, 01:43 PM

Phone. I guess. Maybe.

Metal Man · 12-05-2009, 09:11 PM

You guys appear to have come to a consensus on character choice. Next up...

The plot, of course.

Or, better put, what style this comic will be!

Here's some ideas I have already.
---

1. Parody of a video game or movie (You can pick which one, though if I don't know it well I probably won't do it--wouldn't be funny enough

)
2. Joke about the site not updating
3. WTF Comic
4. Question about a plothole in a past comic/short (feel free to suggest what)
5. Death-match style battle (with a twist ending)
6. Discussion with the 'pause' and then some sort of wacky ending/pithy phrase
7. Parody about sprite comics in genral
8. Make up something and suggest that to me!

Romplayer · 12-06-2009, 12:54 PM

9. Spy vs Spy with a guest appearance of one of the characters chosen above.

Edit: Pardon.... of course I meant Shy vs Shy.

Redshirt · 12-06-2009, 02:38 PM

Jokes about no updates are always funny in a sad way.

MeowMan · 12-06-2009, 03:00 PM

A joke about no NC/SSS Crossover Mach 2 updates would be good. And might catch someones attention.

Gabriel · 12-06-2009, 03:24 PM

I'd kinda like to see a short about Shane. He's something of a mythical figure to me.

Metal Man · 12-06-2009, 03:54 PM

Interesting. Continue the suggestions, I nearly have the full idea now.

The runner up idea will be used for the short after the one I make as well.

Dizzy · 12-07-2009, 01:33 PM

Rejected suits for NSMBWii.
