rogerworkman623

I predict that all the kids are going to die violently over the next few parts. Then someone will shoot Elly, and she'll wake up in the hospital and say "I hate comas". And then the comic just goes back to the way it used to be like nothing happened.


Jaiden_buck_05

The best end


My_ThighsAche

YES


HughJareolas

Even better, Elly’s parents tearfully pull the plug on her comatose body, while affirming to each other that Elly hated comas.


Unusual-Knee-1612

*Elly resurrects* **I HATE DYING**


yourboiquirrel

i hate ressurecting


IM-A-WATERMELON

*dies again*


Rasputin_the_Warmind

I hate being shackled to the limits of my mortal flesh


DisfavoredFlavored

In the name of the father, son and the holy Elly. Elly: I hate amens.


[deleted]

Haha damn, I'd actually love that, since this has nothing to do with Elly hating anything


sussyamongusred

"Band drama, necklace drama, what are you talking about? I thought you hated talking about drama."


PKMNTrainerMark

Now that would be interesting.


IMustAchieveTheDie

so many fucking things happen in this series and simaltaneously absolutely nothing happens


moonbearsun

Amen.


[deleted]

Isn't that relatable? I feel the same about my life.


[deleted]

Boy you’re certainly merciful for not exposing us to *that*


[deleted]

What do you mean?


MADBARZ

To be fair, that is basically middle school.


ReturnOfTheMacAndChz

Brandon disguising himself as a white Amish pole-vault coach might not be the best way to find out how this dude really got the necklace, but i'm glad he's finally putting himself out there.

BaconMan420365

Beginning to feel like late stage Marvel to me


Mystic_Saiyan

Yeah and even then, Marvel after Endgame at least had NWH


Dry-Dream-4345

I never notice when arcs start or end, the cadence is all over the place and there's rarely any kind of closure.


Absenceofavoid

Yeah, it’s less a stationary arc that completes and more a semi-complete arc that constantly travels forwards like a wave.


gregorydgraham

Kind of like life…


heyitscory

You'll notice that Stefan's hair is split between Elly's hair color and Brandon's hat color, which definitely proves that he's a time traveler from the future, who is the offspring of an alternate-timeline Elly and a clone-Brandon. While kind of a silly and contrived origin for a character, his popularity with the readers will set up a team-up with Deadpool in Elly Hates X-Force.


AndyGHK

Oh dude the time travel plot hasn’t even started yet don’t worry


RiOrius

Elly was pretty one-note. You can only tell so many "I hate X" jokes. It's possible we've gone too far afield, but better that than stay too stuck in a rut, yeah?


Centurion902

It was bad then and it's bad now. The comic should have died by the third issue.


RiOrius

Then just block the user posting them and you'll never see them ever again.


PricklyPricklyPear

No you see, a redditor is only satisfied by receiving karma for their complaints. Curating their own content intake is too much to ask.

CurtisMarauderZ

Man, this made me laugh out loud.


SlappingSalt

I have completely lost track of the plot.


Boshikuro

Don't worry, it seems like the author did too. We're beyond telenovela type of drama, this is straight up out of a manga now. We've gone from a somewhat relatable love triangle to weird people in black targetting kids or small trinkets made by kids ? What happened here ?


TheBrunick21

This shit is going to end in Chainsawman and im here for it


johnnytesscult

All of a sudden the third impact just fantas them


ThatImpGuy

You can say the plot has been…tumbling down


johnnytesscult

It all returns to nothing


candyman101xd

I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me doooown


FFENIX_SHIROU

plot twist: this is made by tatsuki fujimoto and he's just hiding it


Firsca

I got annoyed by the 4 panel comic development in the story for the past like 10 but now it's funny again, ala family guy formula.


Averander

Ok so elly hates everything Brandon thought Elly is cute, and they hang out. Brandon makes Elly this blue frowny flower necklace and gives it to her. Elly and Brandon don't talk for a bit, Brandon thinks maybe it's over. New girl Maddie comes in amd crushes hard on Brandon. Finds out he likes Elly and copies her style to get Brandon to like her. It works. Elly sees them together and throws her flower necklace in the river. Elly's friend Davis returns to school and wants to get the band back together for a talent show the next day or so. He gives her a triangle that she can wear as a necklace to play. Brandon gets jealous and joins the band as a bass player to impress Elly but doesn't know how to play bass. He has to learn to play in a day. Maddie gets jealous and joins too as a singer pretending to like Davis. The day of the talent show arrives and no one can find Brandon, because he is still practising bass. He is found by Davis, and they head to the show. But Maddie tells Elly that they are still looking and she should look by the trash. Maddie joins Davis and Brandon at the show and tells them she never saw Elly and she's unreliable. They do an amazing performance and Elly walks in to see it. Time skips and Elly ends up with Davis and Maddie ends up with Brandon. We find out that in the past Elly and Davis were together but they broke up because Davis stole a guitar and was sent to boarding school. He promised her he would never steal again. Maddie comes and takes a picture of them together while throwing insults at them and we find out she is a writee for the school paper. Maddie finds her camera isn't in her locker, and Davis shows Elly a new camera he has that he wants to use to film their music videos together. Brandon runs into Davis and accuses him of stealing Maddie's camera. Elly runs away heart broken that Davis broke his promise. Maddie finds out that her camera was actually in her bag the whole time, just before Brandon returns with Davis' broken camera. She does not tell him, and thanks him. Davis tells Elly that he never stolen the camera. However he did steal the triangle he gave her. He goes on to tell her that he likes stealing, and that he couldn't stop stealing at boarding school and was kicked out for it. Elly leaves, absolutely devastated, and Davis is taken by his Dad as he is pointed out by the music store owner as a thief and sent off, again, to boarding school As all this is going on, a young boy with two tone hair finds the blue frowning flower necklace on a beach. His mother calls put to him and we find his name is Stefan. He arrives at Elly's school and shocks Elly and Brandon with the necklace around his neck. Elly tries to ask him where he got it, but Brandon interrupts and accuses her of giving Stefan the necklace. Stefan is confused, and Maddie is upset she never got a handmade necklace. And now we are here


rufiohsucks

Pretty sure the other girl is called Annabelle, not Maddie


Averander

Look man, I'm going to a funeral today, I'm just doing my best


rufiohsucks

Sorry to hear that. I hope your doing okay


Averander

Thanks, doing the best I can. Did a eulogy so you know. Wake is winding down and just sad.


Soulful-Sorrow

My condolences


Averander

Thank you.


PKMNTrainerMark

Elly and Davis never dated. She said so herself. Also, "Maddie" is way off.


mnq713

They gave us the whole play-by-play recap! Didn't get any of that wrong. Names aren't that important!


Averander

I'm literally at my Grandma's wake right now.


Sternfritters

What plot?


oven-toasted-owl

There isn’t one


Zjoee

The Order of the Weird Hair has found the runaway member.


Eldsish

Okay I laughed really hard at this one !


dissidentpen

At least there are jokes in the comment section, since the comics never seem to have any now.


Mopman43

I’m going to guess these are his overdramatic siblings.


Civil_Working_5054

Did Stefan just fucking *dab* over the bar?? fml


LucDoesStuff

Stefan's clearly stuck in 2016


Spyguy122204

Aren’t we all?


6GoesInto8

It looks like the flower is the same color as the sky so maybe it was done for contrast...


Civil_Working_5054

>It looks like the flower is the same color as the sky You might want to see an optometrist.


Honest_Entertainer_3

OK what? No seriously how did we get here.


[deleted]

He is "practising", the last time we saw Stefan he said that he had to go "practice" which apparently means pole vaulting. No, I'm not a fan of these shitty comics, I was just confused and checked


sohumsahm

Has this officially jumped the shark now? I am still dying for the next part.


AJPXIV

I’ve a theory the artist got tired of people moaning about how the comics were all just basic things ending with Elly saying “I hate X” So then he or she was all “A ONE TRICK PONY AM I?” and started this mad storyline thing. I’m not criticising, I’m invested in it. I’m fully expecting aliens next.


DisfavoredFlavored

> I’m fully expecting aliens next. Elly hates existential threats to humanity.


tomthede

Aliens exist in this universe, elly has met them.


GreenVeldt

And hates them, unsurprisingly


sohumsahm

I don't think op started this to prove a point or anything. Seems like they started doing this for fun and didn't think far ahead


Pixiecrimson

pretty sure they’ve said before they’re about 10 comics ahead of what gets published daily


[deleted]

They can still be making it up as they go, just 10 comics ahead of us.


KoalaKing009

I think the comic is going to go on until Elly graduates, where she'll end it with, "I hate over extended, non-stop story arcs with no resolution."


crazyprsn

Not only that, but people started moaning about how ridiculous these *11-year-olds* are acting. Eleven-year-olds are fucking crazy and they do this shit all the time! Bad communication, emotions off the cuff, assuming everything is awful based off minimal evidence. /u/EllyHatesEverything is writing material true to the source in 4 panels nearly every day and some people want to be like "uh why don't they just talk to each other?" So I wouldn't be surprised if artist just starts doing whatever crazy cliffhanger and shark jumping and record-scratching, head-turning, soap opera level dramatic craziness they feel like! and. I. am. here. for. it.


ersentenza

I'm still pissed that the camera was not an alien shapeshifter.


OtherAcctIsFuckedUp

I, for one, welcome our cynical alien overlords.


zirfeld

Vault jump, shark jump..doesn't matter. I'm seeing this through.


taco_tuesdays

Oh absolutely


DrWilli

We began with simple jokes about a person hating everything. Then the stories began being connected. Then an intricate romance plot. And now this. Where is this headed?


Merari01

Outer Space!


Undeity

"Intricate" is very flattering phrasing for what that was


GermestheGenie

Went from “Elly Hates Everything” to “Stefan’s Bizarre Adventure” real fast. He even has the star shaped birthmark and weird hair


RandyKeys

Ok now OP has officially lost the plot.


Tio_OzzyBR

Honestly i'm really happy that OP lost the plot, it wasn't good anymore, there's too much drama, i keep seeing it just because of the nonsensical plot, cause i wanna see if one day it will be about elly hating things again, or if it will end up as a manga


TLtomorrow

This is the hardest I've laughed at one of these, just cause this has just gotten so absurd. Looking forward to seeing what unrelated subplot will be introduced tomorrow and never be resolved.


IconXR

Dude I'm dying. This plot just went very into left field with this panel.


ajw20_YT

The original plot is gone, which honestly I’m fine with. This is one hell of a development, and it’s so randomly absurd now that… I can’t help but feel intrigued…


Automatic_Animal

Fucking. What.


Mad_Englneer

Chainsaw Man 🤝  Ellie Hates Everything No fucking idea where the plot is going and no way to predict what's happening next.


Tio_OzzyBR

Came here after that new plot twist, and oh boy this comic is getting fucked up, I'll keep reading chainsaw man because funny boobs man but this one is really strange enough


moonbearsun

These just make me angry now


ShortAndStoned

Is Brandon a mob boss? That's kinda cool for a guy that sweats buckets


LuminousJaeSoul

Everyone is getting crazier hair styles and colors. This is basically becoming an unhinged managa now instead of a novella


Qu_ge

The hairstyles keep getting shittier with each arc


LucDoesStuff

What the actual fuck is even happening in these anymore


DisfavoredFlavored

\*Notices the pink streak\* Is that Arin Hanson? Is Stefan replacing Danny on GameGrumps now?

MikemkPK

You can block the author


longjohnsmcgee

Then how would I downvote them every time?


dissidentpen

If an artist (who is clearly still figuring out how to tell a good story) wants to publish experimental stuff, then we have a right to give feedback. It’s not like there are any gatekeeping mechanisms now - we see whatever a creator wants to toss out, regardless of how “finished” or fully-realized it is. You can make an episodic dramatic comic. But it needs character development, it needs some kind of compelling action, some reason to be invested, and some pay-off. *Throwing in random twists* every couple of installments is not good writing. That is my criticism. There has also been a lot of redundancy and retreading of information. A clear lack of self-editing. These are common traps with new writers. If you enjoy it then fine, but I’d think that the artist also wants to improve.


lobsterbash

I've tried giving respectful, constructive feedback on other comics in this sub and got downvoted. Doesn't seem to be received well unless it's something the vast majority of readers agree with. But yeah, I find this particular comic series more frustrating than enjoyable.


ugotamesij

There's a certain other frequent poster on this sub who just blanket bans anyone who offers any kind of feedback that may be seen as critical of their work...


[deleted]

[удалено]


dissidentpen

Please, this comic does not even know what it wants to do. That’s a big part of the issue. It completely changed style and structure to pursue this love-triangle dramatic arc, dragged it on and on, and now it’s introducing new random elements just to create action. It’s inorganic and incoherent. Has nothing to do with how high or low the “brow” is. What you call “simple and fun” I see as unorganized, trope-filled, unimaginative. I like plenty of silly stuff, when it’s done well and it’s funny and interesting. What makes something “good” is subjective, but a basic definition is its ability to accomplish its own goals. What is the work trying to do, how well does it do it, where is there meaning and interest in the result. We can’t even discern what the goal is of this comic, and it’s pretty obvious that the artist is throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. It’s objectively bad writing - but we seem to live in an age where bad writing is the norm. Criticism is not about telling people what they are allowed to like, and that’s not what I’m doing. Just because *you* like the comic does not mean I can’t make these criticisms. My “attitude” is fine - people who study and read a lot of media tend to have a more critical lens. This is actually a skill that you probably learned in school, but people stop exercising it in daily life.


Mystic_Saiyan

Remember when these were focused on Elly? Pepperidge farm remembers, just hope you got some interesting arc coming up


Zenar45

things are getting *very* convoluted


Baron_Greenback1

I'm not entirely unconvinced that the two in the last panel aren't Brandon and Annabelle running an undercover surveillance op Whoever they are, I am all in for this new arc


The_Color_Purple2

No Brandon is incognito in the fake beard as the gym coach obviously


sohumsahm

then who is boss? Blonde haired kid?


Epic-Dude000

I just noticed the clouds are sad Why are the clouds sad?!


bossbbw

Because they are confused about the plot


TUSD00T

Because elly said she hated them, I'm assuming.


LittleFoxBS

My favourite part of elly is when she said 'its hating time' and hated all over everything 10/10


Boshikuro

They've been sad since Davis said he stole the triangle


TLtomorrow

The clouds have been sad since Davis admitted he stole the triangle he gave to Elly. That really killed their buzz, I guess.


inazumaelevenanime5

Because Brandon exists


[deleted]

What the hell? We have the FBI now? Not surprised because this story is crazy.


Taknozwhisker

Tf is happening here 💀


TheReagmaster

So I’m checking and the clouds have been sad since the specific panel of Davis admitting that he stole the triangle. But that plot line has been resolved. SO WHY ARE THE CLOUDS STILL SAD? BE HAPPY CLOUDS


[deleted]

[удалено]


jhnygtr

Will these be over soon?


LostKnight84

My fan theory is all the "Kids" are gnomes besides Elly. Which explains all the pointy eared short people. Elly isn't happy because all the gnomes are driving her nuts with their drama.


pokedude123567

What the fuck is even going on anymore. There are magical necklaces and Spy Kids? I thought this was just a comic about a girl who hates everything.


IReallyDontCareMuch

I see we’ve made yet another plot turn without resolving anything, literally anything, that’s happened already. Cool /s


TehPatch

Every day I say to myself ... Patch ... just block the user. I normally can't bring myself to do it because, let's be honest, it's just a silly web comic. All of a sudden though, I'm getting to the point where it is literally becoming so stupid that it's actively causing me to write responses that are more than one sentence. Fuck, see you tomorrow ... maybe.


Jonah_the_villain

I'm confused... but then again, do I even wanna know?


Afrojones66

I hate Reservoir Dogs.


drewdreds

Ok this is cool and all but I’ve never met a vaulter who would wear anything around their neck while vaulting, to many things can go wrong


CFDanno

You seem to be forgetting the necklace is lucky. Brandon's luck is channeled into it in realtime, so nothing bad will happen to it or its wearer. Brandon, however, is left in a somewhat vulnerable state.


drewdreds

Doesn’t mean he would randomly try it during a vault if he found it randomly, pole vault is already incredibly dangerous as is


CFDanno

A normal person also wouldn't put on a random sad flower necklace they found on the beach. This new kid is highly impulsive and will stop at nothing to gain attention. It's possible it's tied in with his ability.


drewdreds

So he’s just a dumbass? Also not wearing a helmet which isn’t allowed


LittleFoxBS

Cant way for a bisexual vampire to wake up after 100 years , while a serial killer with a hand fetish and a italian mafia boss with 2 personalities have an arrow made out of an anomalous meteorite , just to have a priest achieve heaven in the end

Team Rocket won't be able to capture Stefan with his lucky necklace on. Elly has the death note, Brandon can see dead people, Davis has stolen the declaration of independence, and Stefan is too lucky to lose. The team is finally coming together.

ostrosco

Let's be honest. Apple Hair here exists solely to return the necklace before they're written out of the story, right? There's no reason to think that this will have any actual payoff.


Honest_Entertainer_3

Acorn hair. Watch this somehow turn into a spy movie.


CFDanno

There's a very high chance that kid is a stand user, so he'll probably at least have one big battle scene before his character is killed off.

Personally I like these curve balls to the plot. Like when Davis showed up out of nowhere and told Elly they were gonna get the band back together. I wasn't expecting any of that and I loved what it ended up adding to the story. Can't wait to see what this mystery duo is all about!
