The misuse of quotation marks throughout that animation really hurt my feelings.

[–]qnaal 64 points65 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I like to put punctuation outside of quotes when it makes logical sense, but that was all wrong.

He even tried to nest doublequotes inside other doublequotes (which were already in a speech bubble), but only closed one of them.

Disgraceful.

the misuse of a GIF where a comic would have been much more appropriate forced me to not even bother after missing the first couple frames.

[–]addandsubtract 12 points13 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It even started on the wrong fucking frame. How bad can you fuck up a gif? Here's your answer.

I was going to comment here to complain about the very same thing. Dialogue doesn't need to be in quotes if you've got it in a speech bubble. Who exactly were they quoting in that scene? Because I seriously thought they were having a conversation of their own words.

I hope the original creator of the 'I am dissapoint' image sends you a cease and desist for trying to make a quick buck off of what was mostly his work.

This joke, even the exact wording the gif uses is incredibly old. And I mean probably over 10 years old. Follow that link to just read it rather than waiting for the gif to roll through its slides.

[–]KeepSwinging 22 points23 points ago

They did something like this on one of the Robot Chicken Star Wars specials too, I think the second one.

[–]Zarokima 11 points12 points ago

That wasn't a disappointment thing, though, it was just Vader explaining a bunch of stuff.

Yeah, they should invent a way to read still slides with quotes in a manner that is like a book... but for comics!

Ah, that's crazy talk, sorry. An animated GIF is probably best.

[–]WorkingTimeMachin 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That is a pretty good idea. I think the internet could use a new file type that can be navigated instead of passively viewed. It would be great for internet comics; that way I wouldn't have the punchline spoiled by accidentally viewing the last frame. Plus a gif like this would be easier to read.

We have it, and it's called HTML. Check out (basically any webcomic ever) for implementation inspiration ;)

What's with the .gif animations? Why are they so prevalent?

Pros: People can load them past work filters

Cons: Terrible quality, no sound, no controls

Are there any other pros? This one in particular could have just been one image.
