The Critical Miss Experience

[47_Ronin]

Well, the show has giant robots fighting monsters and boobies. And then there is this crap:
How can you not poke that stuff all day long?

 

[Imp_Emissary]

I have absolutely no idea what this is about. Shame, I usually like this comic.

Same here.

Whatever this is about, it's gone right over my head...

Grey is poking an EVA fan, with the "satire stick". [sub][sub][sub](He's making fun of EVA, to make the fans get a bit "riled up". He is also a fan, so he does it by using satire.)[/sub][/sub][/sub]

 

[Zhukov]

Took me a few looks to get this one.

For anyone confused, look at the guy's t-shirt in the last panel.

It's not complete.... something is missing.

Oh yeah the Evangelion haters (me included) cheering them on.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

You obviously don't understand how deep and blah, blah, blah blah, depression, blah blah religious symbolism, blah blah blah Angels.



See, if you took the minute to understand, then you'd understand.


Understand.

A dude wearing a "Cry more Shinji" shirt saying "You need a bigger, pointier stick"?

That's a really lazy satire stick, you could at least make it shiny or something.

I don't recall the giant robots fighting the boobies... but that paints a pretty funny picture.

heh.

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

I laughed. Now to wait for the butthurt evangelion fans who still somehow manages to think it's a good show.

 

[V da Mighty Taco]

The show has some odd moments and the fact that Shinji pilots robots and has a cast of females around him and is still down can be twisted for fun but people really do take the second half when everything goes downhill too close to the heart (even me though I was under depression at the time so it affected me a bit more)

My motto with regards to the series has always been thus: "If you needed therapy, you won't after watching the last two episodes of Evangelion. If you didn't need therapy, you most certainly will after watching the last two episodes of Evangelion." :3

I've seen that quote of yours before. Gotta say, as somebody who preferred the last two episodes (after getting over the shock of wtf just happened and wondering if I missed an episode) to everything else in the series it seems to ring pretty true imo.

You think there's enough room with all the "This is funny cuz NGE sucks" comments already flooding this place?

The fact that everytime Grey decides to make a joke about NGE the entire comments section turns into a great big Evangelion bash-o-rama, you can't be surprised fans sigh and get a bit defensive when a new one rears its head.

I think they're hiding in the facebook comments. I say 'they', there appears to be two.

Do you think the forum is becoming a place Where Angels Fear To Tread?

It's in reference to the fact that Critical Miss has done a few strips satirizing Neon Genesis Evangelion (NGE) (one of the most influential anime shows ever)

Every time they do this, it starts one hell of an argument because a lot of people think NGE is the greatest work of art ever created and a lot of others think it's a bit shit (I'm personally somewhere in the middle).

This is a great fallback when they have no new material because it always spawns lots of views and comments. And it's damn fun to watch people rage.

Well, maybe not that one computer virus Angel.

 

[Azaraxzealot]

We'll be in a drought until the middle of the next-gen lifespan, when all the shitty launch titles have died or gone multiplatform and been made better on PC with mods.

 

[andersgeek]

Oh, c'mon, guys. Give the NGE fanbois a break. You're above this petty behaviour, aren't you?

Anyway, the animation in the last panel is GOLD!

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

The real gold of this strip is the difference in Grey and Cory's abodes... Cory clearly has it better... he's got a pet spider!

Hehehe, I'm probably guilty of posting it sooner or later every time Grey does an Eva comic. The reasoning behind it is that as Shinji (apparently) sorts out all his issues in those last two episodes, it'll help you sort out your issues as well. Or if you don't have issues (i.e. don't really relate to Shinji because he's so messed up and awkward) you'll likely end up "WTF?!"ing so hard that you'll end up with some issues when all is said and done.
