Rotten Red Rod posted:My eyes kind of glaze over when the "relative power level" talk begins here because I get the feeling the whole eventual point of the comic is that that crap doesn't really matter. (That and I feel the ever-increasing power levels are what ruined DBZ.) Consider: there is no such thing as a power level. But for real increasingly escalating power levels can't be shown to not matter without them explicitly mattering.

Neato, mwah mwah also mega creepy exit. I love it! Only tiny bit of disappointment is that Allison didnt go 'who the gently caress is that?' ps. how much do you regret making allison's dress cherry print

So far only Incubus and Gog-Agog have figured out that Allison is the protagonist, and of the two Gog-Agog's the one with an actual grasp of what a protagonist is (presumably because her hobby / profession is entertainment media). When she says she's smart, she might be right.

Maybe it's Gog Agog's one party trick she's any good at, and she's really proud of it and wants to sgow it off.

I am amped for the MOTHER-FUCKIN' TOURNAMENT ARC. I'm not sure if it was here or elsewhere, but someone pointed out that Gog-Agog shares some similarities with the Drug Lord from Unsong. I think Gog is a better parasite, though. Heck, unless she's bursting out of you she might not even be a parasite.

Woah she sorta does on the surface but thinking about it they're pretty different. I feel like unsong is too different from k6bd to really have anything in common because they're fundamentally cosmologicaly too different. Like the first universal axioms just don't mesh at all. The only CHIM-like thing that could be in unsong would be like "CHIM-MEH-MEH-MEH" causes ripe fruit to become unripe again or something. It's incompatible. Also I laughed out loud during the whole "arm strong is thy right hand" "high is thy hand" part Also Bernie is for sure a kabbalisticly sound candidate.

K6bd can have want and all this stuff, but it cannot have ein sof. They can both have angels and devils but they're such a completely different paradigm there's barely any comparison beyond a slight aesthetic similarity. They're drawing in part from the same well, but guys like the Comet King & Conquering King also are not similar. I think the Comet King could probably deal with the 7. And prob Zoss. Even discounting it outta hand, in Unsong everything is already lined up for reasons. Kill doesn't have things line up. All the angels and devils are infinitely weaker than the ones in Unsong. If you squint REAL HARD the demons in Unsong are sorta similar to the devils in kill 6b, but Himself would get chumped. Hands down. I dunno I think unsong is sorta more humanist. There's 777777 universes in kill 6 and they fuckin don't mean poo poo, but unsong's individual beings are super precious and important in a kinda weird way. Like Arizona getting covered by in-use crucifixes is more hosed up than solly-d's planet getting scrapped

It's hard to beat a Trump- and I love that the kabbalistic power of the name Trump is why he became president in a story that was written in 2015-2016. Also, if the thread doesn't know what we're talking about, y'all should read this very good piece of fiction.
