Mystic Mongol posted:Goddammit, when are one of these supreme evil spirits going to possess Johnny? Nonsense. It would be much, much better if Johnny was possessed by the most friendliest, cuddliest spirit of happiness and good. Just to see how he could take something so inoffensive and still make it menacing.

So you're saying it should be like a Gozer and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man situation.

So even the ghost train knew to combat whatever the shadow tendrils is with light?

Given that they were literally being attacked by shadows, blasting light at them is a pretty obvious solution.

Kgummy posted:I'm not sure it would even be possible for an agent to stay non-spectral for very long. I'm not sure, but I think extended periods near ghosts/spirits and the like can trigger someone becoming a spectral. Or they just end up getting possessed, like Max's dad almost did. I don't think you become a spectral by holding tools or being near spirits. It only happens when a spirit takes up residence inside you for a while, which I would think there would be some way of purging if they couldn't prevent it in the first place. I mean, Boss Leader was able to kill magnet snake while it was still inside of the baseball bat.

Max was seeing things long before he got to the school, let alone touched the bat. Right in the first chapter we're told nobody knows what makes every spectral a spectral, and while through Zack we know the only guaranteed way for someone to become a spectral is for them to be possessed, that isn't the only way. Otherwise, why all the secrecy around Isaac and not Max, a new spectral?

We already know his deal. - He's possessed by a giant anime god of thunder who thinks might makes right, and this possession has given him weather-based powers and made him an anime protagonist. - At some point he met the Doorman (a servant of the angelic being Forge has come to serve), who has been mentoring Isaac on matters of Justice and Doing What's Right and who Isaac looks up to very much. - He's in the Activity Club, but Spender isn't telling him anything because he doesn't trust the thunder god (and possibly Isaac-under-the-influence-of-the-thunder-god). Isaac knows this and resents it, and it has been called out a couple of times as being a likely future source of conflict and a Really Stupid Move on Spender's part.

You're forgetting the mentions of "atoning," "I could beat Isabel and Ed COMBINED," etc suggesting that there was a previously extremely violent event of some sort.

Not sure about the first, but I took the second as he's really confident in his skills while also being aggressive a lot of the time.

Well she lost her tool and we saw earlier her spirit helps her out with that seeing stuff. Man, Lucifer looks pissed. He's gonna have some words for Spender later. Also Spender you are terrible I nominate Agent Day for new Activity Club leader.

Oxxidation posted:If fuckups were a science then Spender would be Tesla. It's one of the reasons I like Spender as a character. You don't often see a combination of anime antihero/huge nerd/bumbling idiot. He tries to pull off the whole morally ambiguous hero role. And from what we've seen so far I don't think he's maliciously evil. And yet, he might perform evil actions because of his bad choices and poor decision making skills.

It's going to turn out that she's got her own morally-questionable agenda; but for her it's probably something like "Mayview has really good funnel-cake" or something.

I'm starting to get the impression that Day is blind. Not only has she a hard time noticing things, she repeatedly alludes to some kind of difficulties in seeing.
