Drunk Theory posted:So, if KN is dark and foreboding, but is really not into world conquest. Then Steve here is going to be the most goofball yet effective conqueror that Dreamside has ever seen. Since Thebestmaster is not connected with any of the dream stones, there might be another six Disaster Masters associated with Steve as well. I won't guess as to their effectiveness just yet.

Xander77 posted:Yeah, an action plot needs an antagonist, that's just screenwriting 101. I understand where you're coming from, but I 'm willing to give the artist the benefit of the doubt here. I've had several concerns over how Gigi D.G. would handle certain situations in this comic. In particular: Rosemaster as a transgendered villain, Almond as a character who continually makes things worse for everybody, and most recently, Cucumber being magically made to crossdress. However, in each case things were handled remarkably tactfully and were quite well resolved. Rosemaster's identity is in no way conflated with her status as an antagonist. Almond is called out on her behavior, actually recognizes the extent to which she damaged things, resolves to do better, and repairs her relationship with her brother afterwards. Cucumber being made to crossdress is not only not treated as a joke--the characters don't even recognized that it could be a joke. Given all this, and the general trajectory of the comic, I extremely doubt the comic has introduced Steve simply as a prop for the heroes to remorselessly kill. Steve is an aspect of the Nightmare Knight that he has apparently cut from himself and then hidden in a hole. The problem he represents can't be resolved with sword.

Cavelcade posted:So what are the odds that the line "All that remains is this husk longing for anther life." means that Steve is literally the part of himself that the Nightmare Knight hated and exised from himself? I'm being conservative here, but I think 100% is a safe bet. PMush Perfect posted:Edit gently caress. If that's true, it means that NK's tiny feet are actually a loving plot point. NK and Steve's body types are basically complete mirrors.

I think is likely that Steve is specifically the other guy, but neither Peridot or anyone besides Besty knows who that is, so KN would rather just keep the deception going.

Well, Nightmare Knight is about to undergo a major turn in his character arc, and possibly cease to be a villain altogether. ...so how is Steve going to turn this to his advantage?

The story has really lost direction. Cucumber and co are still trying to defeat the DMs and collect autographs, right? Have we even seen the DM for the Crystal Kingdoms? We've seen Glitchmaster cause havok, we've seen Thebestmaster set up plot points that will be important five years down the line, but the actual person our heroes are supposed to be pursuing is completely absent. Are the Crystal Kingdom's even under attack?

Samovar posted:It could be the case it's not following the typical 'legend-hero-quest' since Cucumber (and N.K., a bit) are trying to actively dismantle it. Cucumber seems receptive to dismantling it, and probably wants to dismantle it, but he's not actively going about dismantling it. This is a reflection of the larger issue, which is Cucumber isn't actively doing anything, he mostly reacts to the circumstances and dangers around him. This was fine when there's a flashy, visible DM to aim him (and his friends) at, but now that there isn't it's become a real drag on the story. It's kind of appropriate in a way. CQ is styled after older console RPGs (I think the Paper Mario's specifically?) and the story has finally reached the dull point in the middle. Regy Rusty posted:We've just been in the middle of another interlude just like has happened in between every chapter. The interlude was Cucumber and co. being menaced by Glitchmaster, Nightmare Knight explaining his backstory to the Princess, and Saturday stealing the magic sword. We're 75 pages into chapter 5 already, with the previous chapters being around 150 pages each. Schwarzwald fucked around with this message at 15:17 on Sep 27, 2017 |

Regy Rusty posted:Chapter 4, titled "Mismastered" was about Thebestmaster and ended a bit ago. We are currently still in the interlude between that chapter and chapter 5 which has yet to start. Ah jeez, my mistake then. That actually makes me think less of all this, though.

Quakemaster's whole thing seems to be draining hope. Demanding a payment that is unsustainable (and cracking down hard when people eventually fail to meet it) seems like as decent a way to accomplish that as any.
