picspammy challenge 20: tv tropes

Jun 10, 2010 23:58





so, the challenge this time for picspammy was tv tropes. all I knew, upon reading that, was that I really, really wanted to make one for one of my favorite films of all time, smokin' aces. I was hoping to focus on a single character - most likely using hitman with a heart but I couldn't connect it to one single person - but instead, I went with carnival of killers, which is, basically:

"when a villain either hires the best assassins from around the world and sends them after the hero, or offers an open bounty on the hero's head that attracts a variety of assassins. A typical Carnival Of Killers will involve a large collection of assassins with radically different styles (e.g. a Cold Sniper, a Knife Nut, a Mad Bomber, etc)."

when I started to make this, I didn’t think it would wind up this, well, big. It took me all day just to go through half the caps (and another day to put it all together) so I decided to leave out most of the action/ending to both save my sanity and to save you from spoilers. I’m sure most of you looking at this have seen the film already but, you know, it’s safer this way. And, as I mentioned, I’m really ridiculously lazy and it would have taken me weeks to finish this if I had stuck with the entire film.
