this comic is never going to resolve anything but this thread has finally resolved the twenty-year mystery for me of what the gently caress Mission T.H.I.N.K.’s title is, holy poo poo

mission think was a sort of soft reboot of gizmos and gadgets, both those games were great

I'm old school, I had outgrown the games after Treasure Mountain, so I never played those. Midnight Rescue was my poo poo.

Morty Maxwell is such a weirdo. Everything about him screams "mad scientist" right down to the robots, but no, dude's a straight-up wizard.

Dr. Disaster does kind of feel like what would happen if the Master of Mischief got tired of committing random acts of terror against local businesses that annoyed him and became an educator.

Ah so the deal with whoever this girl turns out to be is that right now she thinks Shadow is a threat, I guess.

I actually have been thinking it was Robot for a while now and didn't want to say it in case it was wrong

I guess I could see it, I didn't think Robot ever had an actual emotive face before this, and I guess the way she acts kind of fits their inquisitive nature? Doesn't explain why she seems to be attacking Shadow though.

Frankly I guessed it might be Robot because I thought that would be the dumbest thing to happen.

Once you free yourself from the limiting notion that characters should act with motivations consistent with their previous characterization, whole realms of possibilities open up.

However, like other people have posted, be it Lana or not these dumb faces that I can only recall her and this current robot person making bug me more than they probably should. It's like someone intentionally drew something with the purpose to irritate everyone, but I don't think they are actually meant to be some sort of troll.

My guess is the girl is Loup or Lana since they were directly involved with Coyote "combining" with Zimmy. Thus, they possibly got Zimmified while nobody else did. Seems odd Robot would be changed while nobody else was. But also: usenet celeb 1992 posted:Once you free yourself from the limiting notion that characters should act with motivations consistent with their previous characterization, whole realms of possibilities open up. Edit: Ultimately though, I'm guessing it is Zimmy and this leads to Kat killing her somehow. catapede fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Feb 21, 2024 |

Zimmy got merged with Lana like how the two Annies got merged. Zimmy is no longer her own character, now she's Zimna. Gamma won't be seen again until the epilogue.

Today's page is just baffling. Both the line "I want to help my friend" and the reaction to it are... bizarre. That's not what Annie was doing, she was confronting this girl when Shadow suddenly appeared out of nowhere. And instead of saying "why are you doing this" or whatever, she says this weird, ambiguous line about wanting to help a friend???

It's Tony combined with Loup. Honestly the idea of that gives me hives.

I know the comic is extremely dedicated to the Friday cliffhanger but I really wish we could get more than a tiny scrap of any conversation at any given time, it makes everything feel so disjointed and weirdly paced.

Rotten Red Rod posted:"Don't worry about her." I assume that via magical advance-the-plot powers, Annie has figured out who she is.

Rotten Red Rod posted:"Don't worry about her." Annie yelled at her, so she made a stupid face and started sliding backwards out of the room, thus neutralizing any threat she posed permanently.

Will any of this actually get explained? Will we just get a smash-cut to a week later, with Annie saying "And then she led us to Robot, and then we stopped Coyote and Jerrik from fighting and saved Zimmy" to Kat?

Rotten Red Rod posted:"Don't worry about her." This line would be way more believable if today's update came right after this strip: https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=2902. Instead, we got a week's worth of strips stating exactly why we should worry about her, along with "foreshadowing" why she's a person of interest.

Who was it who had the rant about heteronormativity in this strip? Not looking so silly after all. e: I mean sure you could maybe look at it through the lens of a sort of male-coded character transitioning to female-presenting but we don't know how dumb this can get yet usenet celeb 1992 fucked around with this message at 15:28 on Feb 23, 2024 |
