The second panel starts with a hell of a garden-path sentence.

Thank you. What's with this edit? No animation, no author credit, awkward phrasing, poor fitting of the text to the speech bubbles...

jacksilver ,

Yeah I also feel like the original one does a better job getting the same general point across

Sethayy ,

The edit fumbled it so hard it feels pro-violence

Klear ,

Oh, it is.

irmoz ,

No, it's a different point

Same point. It's the same sword and a sword has only a single point. The pointy end.

RizzRustbolt ,

Sometimes the holdy end has a point too.

Thanks for using the proper sword terminology.

Tbf it's a lot harder to edit a gif than a picture. Removing author credit is lame af though. It was very obviously intentionally done.

True, though Gimp makes it pretty easy when the text is in the same spot each frame like that: Make a new layer for blocking over the old text, put the new text on a layer above that one, then export to gif.

This edit feels forced.

It's a shame because the edit is accurate.
