Done straight, maybe -- I was a big fan of the humor of MTT and the ancillary media it eventually evolved into....
It keeps striking me as being somewhere between Brick House and MGK's parodies. I'm closer to emulating the form and style of the latter while shooting for the visual content and clarity of the former. It's not easy, and certainly not for a Brikwars melee where there're more than 30 characters to dodge and weave around....
But thanks for the praise. I find myself mired in uncertainty.
That's pretty much exactly the formula that led to this, yes. And a digital camera without manual focus and a cranky macro mode. Now, if I just had more than seven square feet to actually lay this all out....
And if that first page is bad, what's to come is going to be even worse. I've been using this page to play everything out and the trend is...inescapable.
Actually I think Lego should create a line of toys for weird adults. (I mean good weird, like, creative in their spare time kinda weird.) Like, have Lego zombies, Lego Obama, and unspecified but suspicious looking ethnic Lego guys. Maybe a Lego Betty White. I'd buy that toy.
They are licensed with Pirates of the Caribbean now, so I think they may get zombie-like in the near future. And there've been assorted monsters, vampires, wolfmen and the like. (And now I look it up and there he is, in the first minifig collection!)
I will say that corporate Lego peeps have gone out of their way to be inclusive to the, er, non-traditional collecting crowd while still emphasizing its child-friendly nature. It took them a very long time to manufacture anything reasonably involving guns, before that it was mostly bullhorn-like apparatuses for which you really had to stretch the imagination. They don't officially endorse most of the weapons seen here and certainly not Brikwars in general. But the adult fans of Lego really enjoy pushing the boundaries, it seems....

(Also, Brian says the first page is giving him PTSD flashbacks to working for the defense contractors.)
