I could see it ending up that she knows how the war is going to turn out, and she's acting based on the knowledge that Jagganoth's plan is terrible. It might just be a dune-style prophecy trap where seeing time perfectly surrendered her free will and she's just following along.

Motherfucker posted:I appreciate that jagganoth is kinda hairy and dumpy. Like you can tell sol-dave waxes and poo poo and spends way too long and way too much money on aesthetics, Jagganoth's body is just loving strong and unkempt in any way that dosn't relate to killing people. The classic body builder vs power lifter physique

Side question. How do we know Princess Jack Daniels is now a woman? Originally she was Vladok, old man ebon demon, but now she is buff fight lady. Is it ever addressed directly in the comic? Is it just her name change? She doesn't directly look feminine, but she does give the same sort of vibe WC did in her stone form where you get that intended gender feeling.

Dr Subterfuge posted:Yeah it's pretty great. He's wearing an asymmetrical breast plate and chose the side opposite his heart to cover. Not exactly; in a fighting stance he'd be standing sideways with his right side towards his opponent. It's an attack-focused armour style that suggests he doesn't plan on letting anyone get behind him.

Red Bones posted:Isn't her deal that she gained knowledge of everything but it drove her mad? I could see it ending up that she knows how the war is going to turn out, and she's acting based on the knowledge that Jagganoth's plan is terrible. On this line of thought, she teleported in facing not towards Solomon or even Allison, but where Jagganoth was going to arrive; for obvious reasons she can't turn herself without using more magic, meaning that since she arrived she's been in the same place, and in the latter half of this update she's now staring directly at the big guy, beside Solomon. At least on the surface, that suggests that her intention is to oppose Jagganoth alongside Solomon, though she could easily have some other plan here. As for her thought process underneath everything, it's very hard to say. We know that she wants to die, but hasn't tried to self-destruct or throw herself into oblivion or whatever, and has been a part of the pact against Jagganoth's omnicidal ambitions for whatever reason. Given her omniscience, she presumably also knows what she's going to do before she does it, and the results it'll have, so I could see her being extremely fatalistic; she might well not actually have a plan because she's resigned herself to the future she's already seen, whatever it might be. (This could also be the reason for her general inaction otherwise, even more than her state of imprisonment; she "knows" there's no point to acting and that she's going to sit in that block until she dies, so she's doing just that. It also fits her being Sloth in the loose 7 Deadly Sins thing the demiurges have going on, being extremely powerful and knowing everything but completely surrendering any real thought or agency in favor of letting whatever fate has in store for her happen.) If that is the case, then she may well be here because she knows that this is where she's finally going to die and is meeting it directly. Could also be part of why she showed up in time to warn Solomon and perhaps get Allison and co's attention a bit earlier so she had time to shield her friends (since she definitely knows the part in this they're going to play), but not soon enough for anything else to be done or anyone else to be saved.

I also really like that he had it strapped to his back in the panels prior, and as he's carrying an entire toolbag of weapons, it seems like he's pulled that out specifically in order to break up a big ol' block of ice.

Remember that Jagg's armor is just style points because he drove those metatron nails into his back to make himself invincible. I imagine whatever path they take to killing him has to involve getting those things out.

I think 'an angel of Yisun' should be understood to mean 'a messenger of the unified God' as much as 'a heat-eater Aeon.' Which is to say, while I don't doubt that the angel is what we'd call an angel, probably, I think that it's entirely possible Metatron (from whom the Name of God was taken) could grant literal physical invulnerability. But then again, it's not like there aren't ways to deal with invulnerable figures, and we know from the tumblr that Solomon David could fight him to a standstill - possibly not anymore, but at some point post-invulnerability. Zoss could probably do something about him but Zoss also considers causality, and possibly linear time, as more of a suggestion than a hard rule, so Jagganoth can be literally and entirely invulnerable and Zoss could still have options.

The same way you shouldn't let death stop you from living, your opponents being invulnerable and immortal shouldn't stop you from killing them.

Bongo Bill posted:If one of our number turn against the others, he must be cut down with all necessary force. This makes me realize, rather than any of the gloomier interpretations I gave before, Jadis is probably here right now simply because of the Pact; Jagganoth is breaking it by finally attacking one of the other demiurges, so she's upholding her end of it and showed up the moment (or right before) he arrived, without any of the loophole abuse, procrastination, or holding back/sending her minions in her place one might expect from the other demiurges. Jagganoth is attacking Solomon, and they all have an agreement to work together and strike down any demiurge who attacks one of the others, and since she knows that it's happening (because she knows everything), now she's there to help Solomon kill Jagganoth or die trying. Simple as that. Would also explain Solomon almost immediately understanding what her arrival meant; Jadis is only going to move for something serious, so her teleporting right to the center of his territory unannounced during a very public event, not even facing him (and thus presumably not there to fight him), can only mean one thing: The Pact is being invoked. And, as Solomon realized between panels five and six of the last update, if Jadis is here specifically, given that there's only one person who'd actually attack him, well...
