New Page I'm beginning to think that Paladin needs to re-examine what she programs her robots to do. Would you like some Deadly Neurotixin?

I'm hoping that Paladin can help push Alison out of this slump she's in. It'd be nice for her to finally start taking action to solve one problem instead of trying to think of a solution to all problems.

I don't know, with all the glorification of past figures filtered through her own personal lense, I get more of an Andrew Ryan (pre-crazy) vibe from her as of lately. All she needs is an excuse and I'm sure she would build a technological utopia sequestered from the rest of society.

That depends on whether or not Moonshadow will switch M.Os from Rapists to people who assisted super villains.

I didn't make the connection, but I can't even remember the last time Templar was a plot point since Patrick had that meeting with the Chinese supers at the dock. Pretty sure people have been namedropping it occasionally though so eh.

Captain Oblivious posted:He always seemed to work through intermediaries, from what we've seen. Possibly precisely due to the issue Paladin is describing. I can imagine that whatever thoughts go through someone's head while they are dying are disturbing enough to the guy who can't turn off his telepathy. I wouldn't say that he hasn't been near people who have died, he seemed pretty collected at the hospital after Allison punched a guy through a wall, but he built his original organization so that he wouldn't have to be on the front-line. Maybe there is something more to that than maintaining secrecy for his identity.

I've always thought that he just changed targets once he realized that something bigger than him was out there. He still is acting like a villain in the shadows, just with a much smaller body count (as far as we know).

MikeJF posted:It also really depends on just when that video starts and stops. I was thinking that too and unless I have the timeline off in my head, their should be some footage of Allison asking the dude if he knew Daphne. The part where the video is queued up should cover everything from Panel 4 of this page after. And I don't think there was too much time between when she starts questioning the guy, and when she hoists him into the air.

Slashrat posted:I'm thinking the "has to be asked" protocol may be a mistaken assumption. Maybe she just wanted to judge in person whether the girl was telling the truth, since it appeared that the case was basically a "she said/they said" scenario with no hard evidence. There was evidently evidence of the soldiers' misdeeds that Moonshadow's sources were able to dig up, and if she's really behind the Miles' murder, it could suggest that she trusts Allison's judgment enough to act after seeing Allison voice her suspicion of the daterape-in-progress on youtube (though it might also just have caused her to research him more indepth, leading to other evidence that she acted on).

Is there really a difference between explicitly asking for someone to be killed and just giving their name in this situation? Because that would mean that killing was not the only option for Moonshadow to pursue and that hasn't been the case the entire chapter.

Error 404 posted:In most places I've seen it come up, it's called 'tactile telekinesis' because it's tk that requires physical contact vs the typical 'move it with your mind' flavor of tk. I remember when every other line from Superboy was about his tactile telekinesis...I'm glad that they just decided to go with a more scientific classification.

nimby posted:Depending on how strong her invisibility is (hiding her temperature etc.) would it even matter that she's outed? Keep in mind Moonshadow is a deranged serial killer, she probably craves the attention. Probably wants to prove to the world she's now a better super than Mega Girl, killing right under her nose and getting away with it. Yeah, she's on a full fledged power trip now. Trying to outsmart and out play the person she has a huge grudge against deliberately is something I expected her to do at some point this chapter.

Trast posted:If that is the case it will be interesting to see why the government is killing seemingly unconnected civilian rapists. Especially when the marine corp exists. That was my thought too. There would be simpler ways to eliminate each perpetrator without leaving the obvious calling card of "invisible slasher". My best guess is that if the government is involved, it's a plan to stir up anti-biodynamic sentiments and get some legislation passed to put tighter restrictions on biodynamic rights. But that doesn't seem to mesh with anything else in the current plot minus the new rules regarding biodynamics like Paladin mentioned in the beginning of the chapter.

thebardyspoon posted:Could be she's employed to kill people by the government but is also doing it on the side for the rush/personal satisfaction/because she's too far gone/etc. I like that angle better. And it would explain why the government might be covering for her. It would probably look bad if the public found out that one of their heroic icons was performing government wetwork.

Mazerunner posted:She's worked for the government yea, as a part of the super hero team which led to some shady stuff in the later years, but there's zero reason for us, the audience, to make the jump to 'goverment-sanctioned assassin' because there's no proof or anything in the comic to suggest that Moonshadow has been working as such. There's enough circumstantial evidence that might lead Allison (who doesn't know as much as we do) to suspect that as Captain Bravo pointed out, but trying to fit Moonshadow's rampage into a framework where these are government targets isn't going to work. I don't follow the theory that Moonshadow is building up to some political assassination, I just think that there is a third party at play here providing her with protection at best. Or maybe the paranoia has finally set in. It stands to reason that somehow Moonshadow has an alibi for the current crime, or at least Dr. Rosenblum is leading Allison to believe that for whatever reason. Now as far as the government employing Moonshadow, that might be a little far-fetched. All of her killings so far haven't been anything that would require vast resources (with the exception of the barn incident which is still plausible given Moonshadow's background); and seem to be very personal acts since she is focusing on a specific crime with a very specific criteria (Highly publicized rapists who don't get convicted). I'll just parrot Poisonous Mushroom and say you can replace "government" with "they" and it's still the same effect.

I'd be interested in a series about a barber that deals with super powered clientele. I can't imagine that there is much demand in Allison's universe for barbershops to stock liquid nitrogen and circular saws.

Could we have had anyone else in the SFP universe talk about what Furnace said in panels 1 & 2? Because that's the first time in-comic that anyone has made that connection out loud and it's coming from that rear end in a top hat.

McNerd posted:I don't know, I think he was being rather an rear end in a top hat in those panels. Now you're conspiring to commit vigilante murder even if you make a true rape allegation? Or even if it's private and (like Alison) you don't know you're being recorded? Nah, that's panels 3+ all he says in 1&2 is that people who appear on the news are targets. edit: Re read the page and saw panel 1. I'd argue that if the news did pull rape related stories just because of Moonshadow's actions it wouldn't be in anyone's interest except the hypothetical innocent person who is falsley accused. So yeah, now Furnace has one valid point and the rest is bunk. Brought To You By fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Mar 10, 2015 |

mr. stefan posted:Anyone named in the news as a suspect of rape is at risk of being killed by the slasher since their M.O. is to target people in the news, which in a vacuum is a valid point since mistakes DO happen. quote:E: like if it was a sane person they would probably spin this into a point of how maybe the onus here is on the media to take a few steps back from law enforcement and refrain from naming suspects in the current situation, and maybe raise a point that the media's all-consuming need to turn violent crime into a circus is kind of hosed up

Slashrat posted:It just occured to me that maybe Furnace is trying to bait out the slasher by deliberately being extremely pro-MRA on public television. Though probably unlikely, it isn't isn't mutually exclusive with him being something of a short-tempered jerk, and that he is not entirely a caricature of a superpowered stupid rear end in a top hat could be nice twist. I'd honestly be surprised if the author let Furnace be the one to take down Moonshadow.

I think this whole sequence would be much improved if it took place in it's own chapter. They could have ended this one with Allison seeing Mary after she killed that guy and it's a decent starting point for an investigation. Because right now I don't care about Patrick having an existential crisis and Allison realizing that she's been in a relationship with some jerk.

Leper Residue posted:Speaking of Looney Toons moments, she had herself one there. Yep because in the same chapter where people have been brutally murdered, no less than 4 people have espoused their personal philosophies, or hero has been tracking down said murderer, and it's been revealed that the mind reader can't read his own mind; it's never too late for a little levity. Glad to see the authors always give Allison the little boost she needs to make it through those hard times.

Why am I not surprised that a chapter that originally focused on murder, rape related issues, and how different people choose to handle social problems has devolved into focusing on Allison and fluffing her character? I don't care if the next page is inevitably going to be Allison breaking down as she realizes that the person she loves is an emotionless manipulator and her former comrade is a murderer, none of this matters in the greater context of the chapter and it's just a diversion from the real plot. Someone said this a while back in the thread but the high water mark was the chapter with Feral.

Mr.Pibbleton posted:He's either on his way to kill someone who has made a rape accusation or Moonshadow is going to slit his idiot throat. This is clearly going to end with Allison confronting him in the air and giving him a stern lecture. Because if there is anything the authors love is having Allison one-up every character she can.
