Stormgale posted:Can someone explain what's being alluded to in the latest Dr McNinja? The doc took pizza to Ben's grave at some point after he died, fulfilling a promise of some kind that I forget. I think the implication must be that this guy is Old McNinja somehow or is otherwise not the McNinja who delivered the pizza. Only, I have no idea how this could actually be the case, so. EDIT: For that matter I'm also not sure if taking his mask off would show a difference between Doc and Old.

I'm guessing the prez just unmasked a random mook that Doc dressed up in his clothes, and is about to get his face kicked by a naked Doc.

Old McNinja is definitely dead and hanging out with Ben at the worst restaurant in existence, but that doesn't mean Raynor is standing over a dead McNinja. Dan talked about the mask being a last resort for a ninja, that they could pull off the mask and disappear into a crowd. I'm guessing that trick is going to come up in the next few pages.

Death shooing all of McNinja's old enemies away is a brilliant background detail.

The pizza was Ben's last piece of unfinished business, and once he had it he wasn't a ghost anymore. Now Old Patrick McNinja is in Purgatory, but Dr. Patrick McNinja isn't, and Raynor will realize that when he sees the face of the corpse he's unmasking, just before he dies.

It also means that Patricks "hands gripped over face" expression 3 pages back wasn't an "I'm so hosed" face, it was him tugging it his mask.

Old McNinja died in this same building, just a dozen minutes ago or so. It's probably him we're seeing showing up at the afterlife right now (he doesn't know the story with Ben Franklin and the pizza). Of course, that corpse they're looking at is wearing a lab coat, and Old had shed his. So maybe Dr put his labcoat on Old to trick them, or he's just playing dead, and this whole flash-to-afterlife thing is just simple audience misleading. Or there's some even more clever trick I'm missing. But the "mask as a last resort" thing doesn't work, because Franz knows what Patrick looks like under the mask.

This being McNinja, if it weren't for Death calling him Patrick, I'd put my money on it being Chuck Goodrich. Because it's always Chuck Goodrich.

I'm 800 pages into Dr McNinja. Still not halfway through.  It's good, but King Radical feels kind of forced; they even acknowledge in the comic that McNinja has no good reason to keep going after him again and again, but rather than fix that they just keep bringing him back until he's had enough screen time to justify him being a regular.

They do eventually establish Radical as an actual world-class threat, but it definitely takes a long time getting there.

It's resolved in the the epilogue of "Punch Dracula" http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/11p52/ I'm guessing the cut-off line is something like "Oh no, I'm Old McNinja." Ben probably thinks he's talking to the actual Doc, but Old is just correcting him. PunkBoy fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Dec 8, 2016 |

PunkBoy posted:It's resolved in the the epilogue of "Punch Dracula" Right, because this is Doc finally using the last resort of the Ninja. He has demasked and set up a corpse to look like him. Franz, having seen what Doc actually looks like, will realize this a split second too late upon demasking the body.

I'm waiting to catch up for DrMcNinja to be done (since otherwise I forget plot points), but I have a few of the books and it's a damned good comic.

Hmmm, 'be seated with your killer'. Yup, checking back, it does look like it's the dudes that were going after Old.

I do think it's a little cheap to show us a scene of Old McNinja entering purgatory just after the bombs hit. The guy died way earlier! If you're going to play around with unmarked flashbacks to mislead your reader, seems like it should be for a bigger twist than the one we got. Even so, it worked, so no hard feelings.
