Captain Bravo posted:lol, wut Very first chapters with Valente it's indicated Petunia is more dangerous than she is willing to be and it's referenced multiple times afterwards. Including by Moonshine threatening to spill Petunias SECRET BACKSTORY in order to get brought along to this whole shindig, this chapter. It's been super super obvious that Petunia was more than she let on for a while now. She's a terrible liar.

Here's one example. Poppy is unfortunately one of those comics that has fanart, fancomics, and one offs in line with the actual comic instead of off by themselves. I don't feel like navigating looking for the other hints, but they were around.

I went to go catch up on Poppy, but in trying to find where I left off I discovered that I somehow went from part 2 directly to part 4 and missed 3 entirely

Chapter 4 (the monastery) was originally chapter 3. Morbi got like three quarters of the way through it and then went OH gently caress because he'd forgotten that the ending wouldn't make any sense if we the audience hadn't seen what is now chapter 3. So one of the coolest fight scenes ever got postponed for months because of mystery plot reasons. Turned out to be well worth it though.

I even read all the author comments on the bottom of the page and the mouseover text. What!? Petunia used to be expected to put up a fight, but at some point became a pacifist. Petunia has her own take on how she'd have handled the Boris fight. She completely disables Poppy with a pinch here. Also as a callback to the April fools post I refer y'all to this(panel 5) and this(panel 7), the Robo-cast proposition is real!  Mary is also apparently a direct descendant of Madam Mystana and may be her reincarnation  . I don't have any links for Mary not existing though!

I really need to pay better attention, I didn't see the pinch at all. I just thought she started rubbing Poppy under her chin to calm her down, like a dog.

Morbi got like three quarters of the way through it and then went OH gently caress because he'd forgotten that the ending wouldn't make any sense if we the audience hadn't seen what is now chapter 3. The full disclosure of what happened was that most of the major events of "Poppy Incites A Gang War" (introducing Charlie+Harley, Fazzi, Poppy meeting Chicadino and the debt being properly wiped away) were originally planned to chronologically happen after the dragon story. As time went on, though, it occurred to me that it made a lot more sense for those things to happen during the period where Poppy's arms were messed up. Working on the dragon story had also really been stressing me out at the time and I needed a break to do something light-hearted, which a big dumb comedy-heavy story fit just the bill for. It was certainly my biggest misstep as a creator, but Gang War ended up being my favorite story to work on, so I don't regret it too much.

Several people have said that Poppy is unskilled (including Poppy herself) but she was absolutely clowning on the tournament contestants and intercepted Fantomet's slap no problems. Is she really fast as well as really strong? Or perhaps she her own technique developed purely from experience, which formally trained fighters like Friedrich disdain.

She is an unskilled worker in that she has no qualifications or profession, but has plenty of street smarts and has got into a few fights in her time.

If even one genuinely competent fighter had fought Poppy at the arena, she likely would have been shut down, but most of those types had been driven away by Boris' bullshit power-set long ago. She's got decent reflexes and tough skin, but her movements are otherwise easy to predict and full of holes that can be taken advantage of, and she tires out very fast. When she can't just end a fight with brute strength, she runs out of options quickly. Poppy's a very effective fighter compared to amateurs and wild beasts, but when she hits the skill ceiling, she hits it hard.

A Darker Porpoise posted:Skimming quickly through the archives. Among those links, I am reminded of how much I love the fact that despite Chicadino being a despicable bastard he manages to be eminently practical all the time and doesn't let his temper make him do really dumb super villain stuff  I hope he continues to be so lovable/hateable for the forseeable.

When she can't just end a fight with brute strength, she runs out of options quickly. Basically, Poppy is the steamroller, and everyone she's effortlessly put down so far is the guy in the uniform. If you try to just stand in her way, or trade shots with her, you will lose. If you know enough to take three steps to the side, you will win.
