Well, a TV show revolving about a new concept of yours, with influences you've already shown before&mdash;that starts off great, and that is something I would want to see for sure, especially given the fact that you have the same inspiration as Knight Owl, but are trying new shit, which is something I can only praise, really.

To make it short, your character has, through obedience of his parents, been taught anarchist ideals, and progress further on to become a lit lawyer (with the idea of teaching and military being at his disposition,) and who is confronted very soon in his adulthood to war, and all that comes with it, and who decides to become a crimefighter due to it.

First off, if you manage to pull up such a huge oxymoron while picking up the very concepts of law, which haven't moved in all of human history, that's big. Like, really big, and if you can do that, you have pretty much everything secured. That's some best article of all-time potential here, easy. So easy easiness easied its oozing ea-- okay, I don't know where I'm going with that, but that's really good.

Then, there's his confrontation with war. I have more of a problem understand this one. Is he kept hidden during the war, while he trains with Sloan? Or is he out there fighting? Because while reading, I'm led to believe the latter is the case, but due to the lack of explanation, I'm also led to believe he's pulling up a Charles de Gaulle (when you stay hidden during the entierty of a war (and eventually take the credit for saving the people.))

And here again, something really awesome, not just the idea of enforcing the law by breaking the law, because it's been done so many times it's barely even wow-ing anymore, but the idea, to me, that the character falls back into the teachings of his father about the insignificance of law. And also, I'm guessing this is where the series starts, because that would be the most sensical way.

So overall, this setup, which I hope you will find a way to explore, is really awesome. It looks very real, while keeping this sort of fantasy-thing brought up by comic books over the years which made them so immense. I also very much appreciate what you're going for with his combat abilities&mdash;you're keeping your own establishments, while adding some influence I know very well is yours into the mix, that's good job.

For his name, though, I like Sanders, but I think it might go better as Spencer Sanders or something like that&mdash;I don't know why, but I have a problem I can't put my finger on with Steven Sanders, but still, good name, the Stan Lee Method for True Believers™© always works.

Well, I knew there was a reason why Spencer was taken. I'll admit this character is more interesting to me as a law partner than a romantic partner; because right now, with no specificity to it, it seems kinda like the basic-as-shit DC couple where it's like “Hey, we've been working together. We'll bang, okay?” Though I do not trust you would do that, but I have never seen a noteworthy romantic relation in your articles, so I think this may very well be the time to see what you can do. I know you read enough comics and watched enough movies to know what not to do, so I'm very eager. Though, I'm sure you can see, like me, the potential conflicts and weird relations that would exist between both of them, and this is where the real world is forever better than comic books' fantasy, and this is where I want to see you to what you do good. What makes you a great writer.

Falcone is just as interesting to me, because rape and serial killing. Let me explain: Most comics portray the perpetrators of these acts very poorly&mdash;and for a fact, you can't just sit down and have a talk with a serial rapist/murderer, because generally it's really hard to find one who will want to talk to you and isn't already in jail. But I think what is important to portray such a character, and every character in general, is to put yourself at their place. Not just tell yourself “What would I do if I was them?” I'm talking living like them, thinking like them, speaking like them over and over until you almost find a good justification for committing this, to the character you portray. And I'm thinking that if you manage to pull that up with this kind of characters, that series can be some fat shit. I'm also sure you're gonna use him as an image of the duality of man, which is cool.

Onomatopœia was a good choice. Making him simulate the sounds of the weapons he uses is a better choice. Story-wise, there's nothing to say about him--well, he's an assassin, so I guess I can understand what he will do, and I'm not blind yet, so I can see the main influence for the character. But this character may be one reason that makes your show great on a theatrical level. Most series here only think about the story and nothing else, whilst if you keep in mind that this is much more than just text (supposedly, not literally, because it's literally just text but you feel me,) I'm sure that would work perfectly fine as a show, and not just an article on a fanfiction website. And yes, that's how seriously I take comedy. Right now, I can see that Sloan isn't a guy you have lots of plans with just yet. Which is good, I mean, in the series, he's just a guy we might see in a few flashbacks and maybe one or two later episodes, so no big deal. But from the little I can read, he reminds me a lot of Steven's father, which may not be a concidence, maybe there will be a twist, or better, some sort of a relational geometrical figure, and Óðinn knows how in-fucking-credible it is when people mix mathematics and philosophy well (I may be over-dramatizing it given the few I say to start with, but I don't have the complementary hours to explain right now,) and he looks like a very interesting but also mysterious character. I think you can go far with him.
