Dolash posted:What happened to Vriska and the other living characters (Aradia, Davepeta, maybe Sollux) who were fighting Lord English? I didn't see them in the new world, did they not survive fighting LE? Did the icon summon the kids as we expected and they fought him? What happened to the ghosts, did the dream bubbles die when the Green Sun became a black hole and started sucking them in? We don't see any of the sprites in that new world either, did they survive the end of the game? What happened to the consorts from the Beta session, Casey and the like? Why haven't Kanaya and Karkat restarted the Troll race? When in this grand timeline of a happy ending did John snap everyone over to Caliborn to fight him? How did the Alpha kids get back from there with John sealed in the juju? What did the juju do? If it summoned the Beta kids like we supposed, how did they get back from the Furthest Ring to New Earth? And if they could get back from there why didn't Vriska, Aradia, Davepeta and Sollux come with them? What ended up happening to all the ghosts?

Classtoise posted:The problem, at least for me, is that it asked all these questions. WHO CAN STOP LORD ENGLISH? WILL DESTROYING THE GREEN SUN STOP HIM? WHAT CAN BE DONE TO STOP CALIBORN AND THUS LORD ENGLISH? WILL THE JUJU DEFEAT LORD ENGLISH? Basically all that needed to happen after Cascade was a massive smackdown between the kids, the trolls, PM and Jack Noir, kids dump their battlefield in the recently-vacated pond in the trolls' session, and then end. Cut LE entirely, cut the Alpha kids, cut the Beforus trolls, cherubs, everything.

WAMPA_STOMPA posted:some help from reddit maybe for the people who still dont really get all of it: We already knew all of that nigh on a year ago. The LE being fought in the Furthest Ring was LE at the furthest point on his personal timeline that we've ever seen him. There was nothing to say he couldn't be killed outright then and there, beyond his apparent invincibility. He has no plot armour, nor method of resurrection. Just a really high resistance to being killed. Conventionally, at least.

I'm going to bed, still hoping this is a psyche. I cannot believe Hussie would legitimately Xenogears Disc 2 us.

Ammat The Ankh posted:The more I think about it, the more I realize that it was impossible for Homestuck to have a satisfying conclusion at this point. Too many characters have been introduced to give them all a real resolution, too many plot threads and subplots to give each one a denouement, and too much background mythology to wrap up. Not every one of those plot and character threads needed to be tied up in act 7, many could have been done in the run up to Collide, or the six days post-Collide, but they were squandered on disappointing feelgood static images.

WAR FOOT posted:I'm a huge S U C K E R for the sound in Savior of the Dreaming Dead that sounds like a hammer striking anvil. Same but Crystamanthequins. I had a huge post I wanted to make about ending interpretations but that conversation seems to have ended and I don't want to reopen old festering wounds clogged with handfuls of horseshit.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:I wonder if that's going to factor into the story? A binary choice is presented with two flawed options (meat or candy), and in the end a hypothetical third and better choice is chosen (the healthy diet choice). I feel like we're going to get Root Double'd someone photoshop N into Vriska

Plom Bar posted:Earth C was doing just fine before Dirk decided he needed to keep being relevant rather than focus on being a good person, and installed Jane as a political leader. I can't be the only one feeling like the line between Dirk and Hussie himself is more of a dotted suggestion than a hard border at this point? Earth C's problem was that being outside of canon was causing it to be less "relevant" and spiral off into the realms of fanon or whatever, and Dirk took it upon himself to seize the reins and lead the narrative back into their lives. So too was Homestuck on the verge of dissolving into a bunch of half-canon fan projects and proxy-written works, until Hussie decided... you get the idea. That combined with Dirk decrying "this isn't MY Homestuck" feels like the true story of HS2 is Hussie proxy-warring with all his deputised writers over the soul of Homestuck using the characters of Homestuck as their champions. Probably not sincerely, mind. Or maybe it's "Original Era" fans warring with all the post-Hivebent "New Fans" or something, represented by romanticised ideas of their preferred writer/writing cast.
