User blog:Mr. Mittens/The Worst Fan Comic I've Ever Read.

Okay, I normally don't read this kind of comics, but a friend of mine linked me to this thing many months ago, and it's become the butt of many jokes as a result. It's a DeviantART comic called "Mass Effect 3: Generations" by BlackLion310. It was made back in April, back when the ending buzz was in full swing. It's horrible. I've never read any fan-made alternate endings that I think were better than the original, and this is certainly no exception. It exhibits several things that fanfiction shouldn't do:
 * Characters' dialogue doesn't match their established personality (Shepard and Harbinger's use of profanity).
 * Characters magically are aware of things they shouldn't know (Shepard knows the Illusive Man's name, Joker knows that his sister is dead).
 * Hardcore pandering to fans (James and Ashely shipping, more war assets than you can count, females of most species, super happy ending).
 * Dead characters are brought back to life (Dr. Eva, Vigil, Mordin, Thane, and Kaiden).

Anyways here's the links:


 * Cover. Guess who the love interest is?
 * Page 1. The set up for "Blake Shepard".
 * Page 2. IT used for handwaving purposes. Also, you're not gonna see those new Reaper troops again.
 * Page 3. This guy's not big on punctuation.
 * Page 4. What the hell is "Neo Medi-Gel"? Also, James and Ashley have been shipped. Poorly.
 * Page 5. Everyone makes a break for the Citadel beam. Again.
 * Page 6. This would be a good time to cut your loses and stop reading.
 * Page 7. Shepard swears, and we get to see evil clones. I told you to cut your losses.
 * Page 8. The artist's use of color is infuriating.
 * Page 9. Lots of sound effects, but no apostrophes.
 * Page 10. "Goodbye Jack Harper..."
 * Page 11. Let's just mishmash various other scenes into one. Don't forget to give the Volus Bombing Fleet some face time.
 * Page 12. We wasted time running around for ten pages, just to see Destroy happen?
 * Page 13. Ah yes, the "Reaper Homeworld". That's clearly been established in previous lore.
 * Page 14. No words to describe my anger.

So, yeah. That's it. You're welcome. If you curious, this guy actually has started a second comic staring the characters seen in the last panel. He's about ten pages in, but he seems to have forgotten about it. It's worse than this one. It doesn't seem to mention the "Dark Space Purge" they threw at us at the end. Instead, the kids just fight some boring anti-human terror cell. Here's the character sheet. I don't really feel like posting it right now. I look forward to ignoring the useless arguments in the comments section, since that seems to be popular these days. Have a nice day.
