MikeJF posted:Ahh, so the toolified spirits are actually aware and conscious and spectrals require their cooperation to use the tool power. Interesting. There is the threat of that, yeah. The magnet-snake sealed in Max's bat looks like it would be "end of the world" bad if it got out.

ThatPazuzu posted:What magnet snake? I just thought he found a baseball bat that already had a ghost in it. This magnet snake. Remember how Isaac hinted that the power of a Tool unlocks after its user encounters the spirit sealed inside? Say hello! It's worth noting that on the very next page, Max accidentally magnetizes a soda can into a glass door.

scarycave posted:Have they mentioned what happens to the object when the spirit leaves it's host object/medium? Isaac strongly implies that the object/Spectral just loses the spirit's powers and the spirit goes on its way, at which point the Spectral is free to use another Tool or get possessed again. Like people said before, the real threat is whether or not the spirit should just remain sealed. See again: Magnet Snake. If Tools feed off the power that arises from Spectrals then Izzy's must be loving bottomless, that girl apparently can't turn a corner without trying to go all Attila the Hun on every paranormal entity in her line of sight Oxxidation fucked around with this message at 16:15 on Feb 3, 2013 |

red plastic cup posted:If you'll look at the image that says Paranatural by Zach Morrison at the top, you can see Spender's shades chilling with Max's bat, Izzy's book, and Ed's brush. It also looks like Spender controls both black and white spectral energy, if I'm reading that page right. His spectral energy is orange. No idea what his glasses were doing in that panel.

Well, Isabel just wants to fight. No one knows what the gently caress Ed wants. I think Ed wants an automobile with bagels for wheels.

ronya posted:Maybe the magical system of Paranatural actually operates on a self-aware melodramatic monomyth - perhaps only for the possessed mediums, who get caught up in whatever drama spirits engage in to while away the time. No, it's because the spirits eavesdrop and not all of them are nice, hence why Spender flings away Isaac's bat before telling him his spirit might maybe possibly be out to kill him. Mediums can't switch off their spirits that way, so every secret Isaac hears would also be heard by Cloudface Thundercrotch.

The ghost train in the 4th panel isn't really there, it's just an illustration of what the rabbit is saying. The pixel dogs are listening, which is how they got the idea of hitching a ride in the first place.

RyuujinBlueZ posted:It shows Max's energy coming off him as he walks through the door, but Max just kind of randomly bleeds energy anyway so I'm not sure that means much. It's Scrapdragon, for goodness' sake. Spirits in tools that are in close proximity to their Spectral had might as well be possessing somebody, it's why Spender flings Max's bat across the room before briefing him on his assignment. There is no evidence, none, zero, that anything is particularly special about Max beyond being a fledgling gymnast with weapons-grade sarcasm who can see dead people and has a magic baseball bat containing a metal-master hell-snake. Perfectly mundane.

Captain Oblivious posted:Some people in this thread need to be beaten violently with Occams Razor. There is no solid evidence whatsoever that anything other than Scrapdragon is possessing Max. It is a bizarre goon habit to make up outlandish theories for the simplest plot developments in fiction and, when they invariably turn out to be wrong, get huffy because it's too "predictable."

Slime posted:I really wonder if in that last panel, ol' Scrappy is actually being aggressive. I mean the dude was just caught lounging around naked. He's probably just issuing a flustered greeting. It's hard to smile nervously at a guest when your face looks like that, though. I'm starting to think that Mediums/tooled-up Spectrals might get yanked into their spirit's world instinctively whenever they're having a near-death experience. If that's the case, Scrappy's probably annoyed. It's the second time in two days, geez.
