So now we just watch everyone else watch in horror as Jagg kills the universe? Even with Gog they'd have probably lost, and now he's stronger than he was then.
WC beating Solomon was a huge rear end-pull, but the outcome was cool enough to overlook the hard fact that she should have been smolted right there if not for the plot armor.

Why Jagg pissed about in his weaker form and didn't kill Solomon (and his whole planet) by surprise is really puzzling to me. Even if Gog would have gotten away, he'd have Solomon's key and be able to take her and the rest. The fight would have been over before the combatants knew it was on, and he isn't characterized as the giant moron every other demiurge is.

Also:

Calling what happened with White Chain plot armor is stupid and reductive as hell.

As for the second part, as far as Jagganoth is concerned his victory is completely inevitable and unstoppable. He doesn't need subtly or subterfuge because trying to stop him is like an ant trying to stop an avalanche. Better to offer the chance to die quickly and cleanly and save everyone the trouble.

Also props to Incubus. When staring down certain death or at least having his body crushed as his immortal head becomes Jagganoth's newest piercing (I won't begin to guess where) he had the gumption to just laugh.

I mean he's a student of Meti, he always knew his death was always going to be horrible and violent just like his life. Best to just face it with a smile at the absurdity of it all.

Is it not common knowledge that Lewis Carol was a freakish weirdo both by the standards of his time and ours?

I meant CS Lewis but Lewis Carroll is just as bad if not worse.

I guess I've run into too many stories that do this and then go, "This is deep right? Really makes you think?"

Literally the entire point of the comic is about punching destiny and causality in the cock and you seriously think that it's going to wind up that no actually that's not how it works and change the entire message to be that everything is futile? Did you even read the comic or did you just start in the last five pages?

Those are dead gods though, it's unlikely that they possess the volition to actually do anything besides bear a word that can be taken from them.

i dont think so. would sorta undermine the stated concept of complete invulnerability. the most they were ever able to do was delay and contain him. that's kinda the point. he won't ever be defeated by strength.

Every demiurge has been shown to either be lying about or overestimating their powers and I don't see any reason why Jag would be any different.

this is not true at all, every demiurge has been shown to be exactly as it says on the label. not a single one overstated.

this does not invalidate their claims to rulership in the least.

I'm not doubting their rule I'm doubting their omnipotence

none claimed omnipotence? certainly not in the traditional sense.

Oh my god I was being flowery, I don't think Jagg is actually invulnerable, just really really really really resistant.

Niavmai posted:


but that's wrong, he literally is invulnerable. your words seem to conflict with themselves. invulnerability is not akin to omnipotency, and your initial point was "they were lying about their powers," which once again, not one of them has done so.

Invulnerable people don't get swords stabbed into their breast.

And yes, they have all lied or told half truths. Solomon and Mottom are not the god kings that they claim to be. Mammon is no king either, he is beyond broken before the comic even begins. Incubus is a rat both figuratively and nigh literally, Jadis is very obviously lying right now to Allison's face to try and get her to believe in Jadis's form of nihilistic existentialism.

Allison has consistently uprooted every Demiurges' sense of self and suplexed it into the ground. But Jagganoth is definitely for real invulnerable this time, for sure.
