    I believe that would have similar results to turning EGS into a sprite comic; as in http://www.elgoonishshive.com/Filler/d/20030525.html. In other words no.
    It's not enough to succeed, others must fail.
    What if there were no hypothetical questions?

    Whats wrong with Flash?
    I've seen good Flash (Kungfool) and bad Flash (HomeStar, Badgers). It all depends on the skill, creativity and talent of the creator. I have no doubts that if Dan decided to use Flash he would create something just as entertaining as the comic, if not more so.

    RE: Would EGS make a good flash Cartoon

    We discussed this on the old TWC. There are two ways to do it: Voice or Text.

    Voice - ruins the whole damn thing. Everyone has how the characters sound worked out in their head, and being forced into hearing "This is it, now what you thought, but this" is terrible. Like when you really like a book, then they make a movie and the characters aren't anything like you got used to them being.

    Text - This requires everybody to read at the exact same speed as the writer. If they read slower, they miss bits of text, and if they read faster, they sit there looking at the panel for a little while before getting the next part of the story.

    GASP! Homestar and Badgers BAD?! o.o FOR SHAME! THERE IS NO GOOD OR BAD, IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE READER (in this case viewer) OF THE THING! I myself, LOVE Homestarrunner.com, and listened to the badgers for the whole loop of it, until it gets messed up at an hour and fifteen minutes. Yes, I'm a freak.

    But I mean, my sister and I even did a thing where we replaced badgers with bagels, mushroom with muffin, and snake with cake! Not on flash, we just pictured it.

    But really I just happen to like insane stupid funny things, so you should have probably said something along the lines of ' I've seen good Flash (Kungfool) and bad Flash (HomeStar, Badgers). This, of course, being in my opinion.'

    Okay, I'm a little rant-ish for so little a thing, but I dunno . . . I'm gonna go check out Kungfool now, because if you are an EGS bunny, I might like it, too.

    You did what?! Seventy-five minutes?!

    Are you familiar with the term "obsessive-compulsive"?

    RE: Would EGS make a good flash Cartoon

    I like EGS as a comic and making it a Flash would boost the ratings up a bit. Take 8-bit theater they made a few flash cartoons based on their first few comics and almost all the flash sites I know have at least one 8-bit theater flash as the top 10. Badger Badger Badger is the best!

    There's a way to turn it into a Flash without killing it. It would be making a compilation of a whole storyline, with a Flash interface to navigate.

    So in other words, it would be the archives, but with more bandwidth?

    Yes, that's it. and we could throw in a voice feature.

    RE: Would EGS make a good flash Cartoon

    Aw, hell no. Voices would take away the charm of the comic. It's terrible when they do that to books, for example, making them movies and saying, "This is what the chars look like, this is what they sound like, you were all wrong, hahahahaha." It takes away the imagination and just hands you something pretty to look at while you zone out and become a vegetable.

    I don't know.  Sometimes it adds to the experience more than it detracts.  Ever seen the Lord of the Rings movies?

     

    edit:  I still don't think EGS should EVER be made into a flash movie.

    RE: Would EGS make a good flash Cartoon

    Ah, but the lord of the rings had professional actors whom have been doing that all of their lives. I can think of maybe 2 flash movies based on franchises which have had acceptable acting.

    Out of THOUSANDS.
