It's amazing how literally nothing matters in this comic. There's never any weight behind anything. The entire comic has just devolved into a series of bland, dry monologues neatly wrapping up plot points with maximum efficiency. What the frick happened to the guy who wrote stuff like Mort moving on?
Yeah but there's broad strokes and then there's execution.
I think getting a girl and getting out of the place that made him suffer so much has negatively affected his art. Obviously, good for him for achieving happiness and all that, but I think that he kinda lost some fire along the way.
Your post doesn't make any sense. There's nothing to indicate that every single plot thread was "meant to" have an unsatisfactory, bland, consequenceless resolution.
That'd be like if Michelangelo outlined the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in broad strokes and when it came time to paint he threw some jackson pollock shit up and said "whatever frick it"
The anticlimaxes were there from day one in the first chapters. There's a shadow in the court, Annie takes him outside. They have to do a school project, they run into a scary-looking minotaur, he's chill.
You're being intentionally disingenuous. The sardonic sense of humor of the earlier chapters is a grossly false equivalence to the nonstop stream of total letdowns that have progressively become this comic's bread and butter. There may have been humorous moments like that, but there was still an overwhelming sense of gravitas. Look at the first meeting with Coyote. Annie spanks him and he's fine with it, fun comedy moment. But there's also an intense fight/standoff scene and is dripping with weight and intensity, and is resolved by Coyote smashing his own minion into a pillar, causing him to vomit up blood. Which was also a ruse to leave behind a trap for the court. There was tension and mystery.
Like the other anon said it's a difference of execution. The shadow and the minotaur are also both a preview of how the world works here and how Annie sees things and the literal setup for the entire plot of the comic respectively
Tom had a whole bunch of plot points set up a very long time ago, but he didn’t know how to integrate their resolution in a satisfying way. I’m still hopeful that Dark Kat will get a proper focus / resolution. I don’t really care how Loup and Zimmy get resolved.

here's the top 30 or so; back in 2020 Pet Foolery was the top with monthly USD 15,000, but is no longer on patreon.
Question. Out of all the different canine knots that Annie has had the PLEASURE to taste, which one is her absolute favorite and why?
Renard's? Ysengrin 's? Coyote's? Loup's? Derek's?
Either Renard's or Loup's. Renard because it appeals to her daddy kink and Loup because it has all of the IMAGINE of Coyote's with the turgidity of Ysengrin's.
I think the reaction to Tony broke something in him. Maybe it was deeply personal, maybe he just got frustrated at his audience not understanding his grand vision. It's telling that "No, I... understand" happened right before the Tony did nothing wrong chapter
Well how exactly were people to react to Tony showing back up out of nowhere and curbstomping Annie's character development? I can imagine it was infuriating to read day by day but reading it sequentially his return and interactions with the other characters is some of the best stuff in the comic to me (barring the whole thing of him and Kat suddenly becoming pals off-screen).
What gets me though is Loup. I fricking HATE him and I hate his Spyro-the-dragon deviantart
OC design and I hate his human alter-ego and every single last part of him and his intrusion in the comic. Did people flip out when he was introduced? Cause I feel like he's a very clear dividing point where the quality of GC seems to go down and down.
Hardly. The worst thing about Loup was that he essentially "killed" two of the best characters, Coyote and Ysengrin, by coming into the story. Him massively fricking shit up in the Court did a lot to raise the stakes, but he as a character is basically just "unstable angry trickster", that somehow feels far less menacing than Coyote despite actually doing serious damage to Gunnerkirgg itself.
Not what I said, what I meant is that Loup took away 2 of the most unique and memorable characters in the story and did not fill that gap. He is supposed to a combination of Coyote and Ysengrin's character traits yet this only leads him to feeling wishy-washy and underwhelming.

Well, I think he's far more interesting than Coyote or Ysengrin. Coyote, firstly, isn't out of the comic, as the last chapters proove, we don't know what his grand plan was at all, yet. Ysengrin was always just a target to get used and abused by Coyote. His function as a character was basically just to prop up Coyote, with a little bit of interaction with Annie on the side. Neither Loup nor Coyote have changed at all since the beginning of the comic.
Loup enabled a lot of character development for both Coyote and Ysengrin. He established that both Coyote and Ysengrin loved Annie, he managed to thwart Coyote's plan by accident by learning how to be human, he became likeable, smart and most importantly, morally good, redeeming both Coyote and Ysengrin's evil actions to some degree. Coyote and Ysengrin are very black/white characters. They have no nuance, they aren't complex. What you see is what you get. Loup is now a fleshed out character with beliefs that established themselves not as a product of Coyote and Ysengrin's, but as a result of his change in perspective as Jerrek.
He's not even a character. He's a 1-dimensional representation of a bland slice of life space filler whose entire personality is "webcomic boyfriend/girlfriend pairing". This character is TWO FRICKING GODS and now not only are his motivations utterly erased but there aren't even any moral, philosophical, ontological consequence for his actions and the lifetimes of weight behind them. The god who created the glass-eyed man and centralized the conflict between the Court and the Forest is now just a regular ol' schoolboy, shucks! Worse than mangaslop for japanese chuunis. >b-b-but muh dead goose/reynardine wolf form
Again, another fine setup: the mind is a plaything of the body/the mind takes the shape of the vessel it fills etc. With a terrible, bland, boring, utterly anticlimactic "payoff".
We have one character living under a lifetime of rage and resentment consuming another character of near-infinite strength and then becoming a new character with Big Plans (albeit in such a stupid fricking way) only to have it reduced to "Yeeaahhh about that, uh I guess we can just forget the past few millennia cause now I got some robot pussy so I'm just gonna exit any meaningful narrative development, stage left." Can you imagine Coyote doing his metaphysical hijinks for centuries/millennia and then just giving up and bowing out of that level of existence because of teenage puss? Can you imagine Reynardine enrolling in classes because he relents and decides asking Annie out for coffee is more socially acceptable than lecturing her on strength and slaughtering a dozen forest inhabitants to maintain the rules of the wild? It's so bad that the author himself realized he couldn't do a goddamn thing with it and had to bring one of the characters back to literally break the fourth wall and say "nuuuuoooo you aren't doing it right!!"
Tony had the benefit of being one of the only adults we got to know closely, and being deeply fricked up, but imo he never really gets more interesting after Donald drags that drunken confession out of him. And then chapter 80 just has Annie and the elf cumdump turn to the camera and tell you exactly what you're supposed to think about him and his place in Annie's life.
I think chapter 80 is legitimately the low point of the comic, yes even ahead of the Norns. Saying "Annie looked at the camera and told you how to feel" isn't even an exaggeration, it is LITERALLY what happened.
>Well how exactly were people to react to Tony showing back up out of nowhere and curbstomping Annie's character development? I can imagine it was infuriating to read day by day
No, it was enjoyable. Annie actually facing consequences and having the rug pulled out from under her wunderkind hero girl status was GOOD. Yes people "hated" Tony but it was a "love to hate" thing. He was the antagonist we needed. How it was handled after that is... surprise, another anti-climax.
You've absorbed these threads shitposts too much, Annie was regularly called out for causing actual problems, and the comic has been shitting on her for about a decade now. Tony rightfully pointed out the cheating but everything after that was him being a psychopath. Chapter 53 hit us with "he's autistic and actually cool if you're not Annie!" and spent the next 30 chapters trying to convince us that he's not an abusive freak. He was never interesting or an antagonist.
>You've absorbed these threads shitposts too much
Frick off. Address the post seriously, don't waste my time with this garbage. My opinions are my own, frick you if you think you can dodge the claims by saying it's someone else's shitpost.
The chapter where Tony actually shows up again was fricking great. He shows up and completely tears apart the entire dynamic of the comic, destroy’s Annie’s connection with an important part of herself, strips away her connection to her mother, and turns her into a little autist like him again.
In any story this would be the big act 2 shift where they’d eventually have to actually resolve their respective issues. Then nothing happens and Tony’s actually a cool dude and it’s fine that he’s such a dogshit father to her because he’s autistic. See, even Kat likes him!
While popular, the butthole dad is difficult to resolve well. Look at Ikari Gendo, one of the biggest butthole dads in nerd fiction. He got zero proper closure with Shinji in the original series and End of Eva, and Rebuild just took the cliché route with him in the end.
Tony would have been better if his deep ties to the Court had been important. The absence of the upper echelons of the Court from the comic is a major flaw in its world-building. Also their grand plan is (apparently) simple flight.
Gunnerkrigg Court isn't about that, though. There are no antagonists on purpose. Tom is clearly trying to do something other than some kind of confrontation to reach a satisfying conclusion. What that will be and how he possibly intends to pull it off, I can't tell you.
I think the final destination of this story has been fairly obvious for a long while now: Annie and Kat are going to overcome the divide between the court and the forest and learn the habitats how to coexist with each other, given they both represent a side each. Her friendship with Annie will prevent Kat from becoming a Diego, while Kat has already saved Annie's life and stopped her from becoming a guide.
How will Tom handle this resolution is what remains to be seen.

You know it's true
The "explanation" for Tony's autism is the dumbest fricking thing I've ever read in my entire life.
>I... can't act normal if more than one person is in the room
That's it. That's all of it. He has a broken as frick relationship with his daughter because he sees her as both Annie and Surma, which would be fiiiiiiiiine except we then learn it's *not* for the archetypally understandable reason of the pain and guilt the loss of his wife caused, but because it simply reduces to a sheer math equation of 2 PEOPLE=I FREAK. It's so fricking dumb. And then after "I... understand", what the frick happens to him? Whatever it was, if anything, was so fricking bland I don't even remember. Do we even see his reaction to losing the one Annie he could open up to? As stilted as it was, at least the Two Annies injected some kind of freshness into the equation.
I have noone to blame but myself for having any expecations left.

Thanks for reminding me of that scene that seemed like it was going to have serious moral/philosophical consequences, but then didn't.
Well, Paz left her over it.
But anon she went too far and didn't consider the consequences and endured the horrible consequence of an amicable breakup and consequence free godhood

Maybe, but she'll always long for Paz' conejo. Nothing else will live up to it.

Kat's so giddy to blow her own head up.
'Gunnerkrigg Roulette' on ao3.
We all know, that Annie the Violence is to blame for that one.
I can’t believe Kat is not fricking dead.
Kat actually died but since she's a god and too autistic to realize she was dead she came back to life. classic Kat!
She's dead as a character.
Kat is just a plot device now.

Tom outlined the broad strokes of the story 20 years ago. It was always going to be like this.
