Favorite 3 memories from 8bit Theater

Astrobot7000 · 10-19-2010, 02:55 PM

We should all post our favorite 3 memories from 8bit Theater, that includes your Brain. Actually, I would ESPECIALLY like to see your favorite three.

My favorite three moments are (no particular order):
-When Dragoon 'Double-Jumped' onto Black Mage
-When Red Mage enjoyed being aflame before they battled Muffin
-Any conversation between Red Mage and Megahedron

Just 3? Thats like nearly impossible,but i will make a attempt:
-"evolution is my bitch" and everything related to that that happened(this one triumphs all others)
-the 3 a-hole plan
-"faster,faster" while killing Vilbert

I can guess Brian's three most favorite moments in 8-bit Theater, in no particular order:

1. When it ended
2. When it ended
3. When it ended

The ending is definitely one of them. Because I really liked the ending, not because it was an ending.

I enjoyed the whole "12 'Fuck you' Dragons" comic.

Not sure what the third would be.

Rain on my sarcasm parade w/ a serious response will ya!? *shakes fist*

Mine are:

1. Red Mage saying to the dwarf king "That's because they weren't bearded warriors like we are.." (the 'veiled meanings' thing)

2. Fighter out smarting Dr'zzl

3. THAT AWESOME EPILOGUE THAT WAS DRAWN BY THAT AWESOME GUY WHOEVER HE IS (I couldn't really think of a third thing off the top of my head, there's too many options I'd pick from... can I just say "everything else" for now? :P)

The climatic battle between Red Mage and Black Mage.

Also when the Light Warriors overcame their flaws and differences to discover the real power that lay within each of them and defeat Chaos, emerging from the experience as true heroes of legend.

My last favourite isn't really a moment, but just how the whole thing was fulfilling in every way and not anticlimatic at all.

1) The Kary battle. From when they arrived in the Volcano to when White Mage killed Kary, that was the highpoint of the series. Spot-on character-driven humor, real tension, the culmination of the Sword-Chucks arc, and the well executed plot that gave us all the Light Warriors (minus Black Mage) working together to defeat their most powerful for yet. It might be the best work Brian's ever done. It's a bit sad that he never again followed through with other "it just got real" developments later in the comic.

2) The Lich battle. Like the Kary battle, this one also did a great job merging humor with character development and plot. It wasn't quite as well-done as the Kary battle, as it's a bit stretched out in the middle when Brian was away, but it was great seeing Red Mage and Thief at the top of their game developing and executing a plan to take down the Fiend.

3) Callbacks and foreshadowing. Brian mentioned before that he loves plot points and jokes that are set up months or years in advance before the payoff. Hence the infamous #434, the Sarda/Onion Kid revelation, and the four White Mages. This was also my favorite part of the comic. The first time I laughed at this was when Fighter remembered the Cave of No Return, which I had assumed was just a silly throw-away line from the first comic. Although Brian had his fair share of dropped plot points, I appreciated that he had the foresight to set up future events, such as using the Armoire of Invincibility against Vilbert and Fighter getting four swords years before his Sword-Chuck battle.

Technically accurate, lolz

1. Fighter breaking physics
2. Black Mage electrocuting that old guy
3. Chaos cake.

Well, those are the three from the top of my head.

1. Finding the comic, by someone poor forgotten sod's recommendation.
2. Spending a whole day reading the first 150 or so comics out loud with my friends, doing voices and everything.
3. The part where the Light Warriors screwed up their quest with their lack of teamwork.
