Bussamove posted:Gog has thought bubbles because Gog thought it would be funny to have them. Roger Rabbit toontown rules. Yeah, this is what I'm assuming. I only wonder if Allison can hear them. Joe Slowboat posted:This is literally Nietzsche’s eternal return. Gog’s offering the chance to not make the same mistakes, to get it right, to not be this person. It’s cleverly inverted but the principle is the same: if you could be someone who isn’t you, would you? If you could do it all again would you choose differently or can you love your fate, love the path that brought you through hell? Also makes the perfect the enemy of the good, since if you have infinite cycles you're not gonna be able to accept merely breaking the cycle but demand that you get it perfectly right.

A billion people have had this conversation with Gog and this is the first one since time immemorial (literally) that Gog has believed might be able to do it

Brought To You By posted:Obviously one of her sponsors is Raid: Shadow Legend GogVPN. "You" will be the only one to know what you do on wormnet. Now I'm wondering how random wormheads might treat each other when not under Gog's direct control. Taking care of each other, doing little favors, that sort of thing.

Niavmai posted:"can the protagonist hear a thought bubble?" People are just speculating weird things because it's notably weird for a comic to not use thought bubbles for the first 699 pages but suddenly have them on the 700th. Sure, it might be most likely that Abaddon is just using a comics convention that he didn't feel like using until now, but it stands out enough to wonder about.

It'd be less weird if they were square. We've seen narrative thought squares before, although only from Allison.

Also "Allison meets up with a Demiurge and freaks them out with her Furious Dumbassery" isn't exactly new ground so it was surprising to see it need something new like that. But then thought bubbles aren't that big of a deal.

I think thought bubbles are necessary in this case because Gog-Agog is extremely ironypilled and we can’t trust a single word that comes out of her mouth. If she were to say, out loud, “wow, champ, I actually think you could pull that off! Want a worm?”, we would have no way to tell if that were really true, but if we get a glimpse into her internal monologue, we can be reasonably sure about how she really feels.

I suspect it was he wasn't able to quite convey what he wanted with facial expressions (since Gog is notoriously unreliable with faces) so put voice to that internal conflict to drive the plot forward.

This feels right to me. Also there’s kind of an… IDK JoJo’s energy to the sequence? The dramatic statement with full-body aura pose, followed by that really close up shocked face with thought bubbles about how it’s impossible to beat her, but—! I also like the goat’s pupils, it gives a strong “Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?” Vibe to the worm eating offer.

Doesn't it seem a little odd that we never see Alisons eye during any of this sequence? That and Gogs eyes changing to be goats (a prey animals) eyes seems an interesting thing.

Joe Slowboat posted:I think they're just Gog. I think Gog's all there is there. I think about the clown that showed up to Allison's house before the tournament of power. I think he had his own will but also had some understanding of what Gog willed but like all of the other thralls of hers, he seemed very blissed out. Even as he was exploding into gore.

Since Allison knows she's going to die in 35 years, maybe she eats the worm at some point to ensure Gog's death.

Fister Roboto posted:Have there ever been thought bubbles in this comic before? Every other "direct view of a character's thought process" has been an at least multi panel, frequently multipage event, from my hazy recollection of the bank heist arc as funny as it would be to have those two thought bubbles replaced with an internal gog peanut gallery for a couple pages, gog's already got the external one so I can understand why you wouldn't want to go that route this time around

I read the gog thought bubble as part of the overall pov moving further and further outside and away from Alison, as she becomes stranger and harder to read over the course of her continued "ascension" and cumulative trauma.
