Creepypasta Wiki talk:Deleted Page/Jeff the Killer/@comment-24104596-20131028191303

I can't even begin to describe my absolute disappointment with this pasta. I registered just to post this comment, because seriously, I need an explanation for the hype surrounding this one.

I wholeheartedly agree that the appearance of Jeff, despite being a carbon copy of "The Joker" from the The Dark Knight, looks creepy as fuck. I flinched and went "woah!" the moment this page loaded and I saw that picture, no bullshit!

The pasta itself however is incredibly half-assed, and frankly bad. I had huge expectations from seeing all the positive comments on other pages. My question to all of you is this; Is this hype just some elaborate trolling by everyone? This is a 100% honest question, because I can't for the love of fuck understand what's good about this. I'm gonna try to summarize what I think sucks about Jeff the Killer.

First of all, the writing. I'm not at all a grammar nazi or some stuck-up literary maniac (my own English is pretty lacking at times, so who am I to complain?), but that's not the point. The problem is how everything is described. Everything is incredibly brief, it's all over the place and it's simply not believable at all. Of course, this is supposed to be a made up story, but half of what makes a good creepypasta is the sense that it COULD be real.

And here comes the worst bit; The story itself. It's so ridiculous I can't even describe it properly. The boys involved are supposed to be like, what, around 12-13 years old? And the story culminates into an over-the-top action sequence with fire, GUNSHOTS, knives, blood, corroding acid and god knows what. The writing is on par with stuff my little brother writes in school, and he's 7. I'm sorry, but I'm just THAT disappointed with this.

Also (this is not a complaint), what drove Jeff crazy? He started having these strange feelings after they moved into the house. I'm probably missing something here, so forgive me if I'm being stupid.

Thanks for reading my rant.
