Bongo Bill posted:Clearly the factotum is an ally of White Chain rather than an enemy, because they keep her around in a position of authority and respect. But just as clearly a complicated one. I don't know about "ally" per se, I could see there being a fairly hefty amount of "I know you could squash me like a fly but I'm relying on your preexisting respect for authority to do the lifting of making sure you don't no matter how much of a prick I am" from a failson politician, and WC going along with it because this authority is a democratically elected one and thus "the will of the people". She was about to throw down with allison for the crimes of "line cutting" and "attempting to enter a building after business hours" so it's an open question still how much authority she has or if she's building security with an office who follows the war progress in her spare time, too Ursine Catastrophe fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Aug 19, 2023 |

iirc it was also exacerbated by writers saying "well we want to be As LBGT Positive As We're Allowed To Be" and then cut the relationship off at the point The Networks started to complain about what was being shown (and what better way to do that than a dramatic death)

Rotten Red Rod posted:I don't buy that this comic is an example of that, because Allison and White Chain are both LGBTQ and still alive, and Cio didn't die BECAUSE she was gay. Plus she was a fully formed character who did not just have the sole purpose of dying to progress Allison's story. No argument there, but that's the conflation of "fridging" and "kill your gays" again-- the latter has nothing to do with the former necessarily, as much as it does the sheer volume of "gay couples killed off because of reasons that make sense or are justifiable from an in-narrative standpoint but taken as a whole across the entertainment industry are concerning in their frequency and people are loving tired of seeing"

tbh I think the argument kind of gets mired in the idea that if something matches any negative trope it's inherently bad so people try to contort about how a story doesn't have that trope because they like the author cio was gay and died, this story has a dead gay, the trope is Unambiguously There (at least, barring a narrative magical resurrection, which it may or may not), but I also agree that it's not super worth dwelling on in a vaccuum-- there's a huge volume of other media out there that's "they did this and also these 10 other justified-by-the-narrative-but-lovely things elsewhere in the same work" and that's why they don't get a pass, not because the trope itself is an automatic go-to-jail-do-not-pass-go card

A Wizard of Goatse posted:Allison sparked a war where there had previously been milllennia of peace between the demiurges, and that wasn't a bad thing. Like half the little under-page stories are about a tyrannical negative peace that must be broken through cartoonish quantities of violence. It's worth pointing out, too, that "peace between the demiurges" didn't even mean "a lack of violence", it was just that because they had a peace between each other they were free to point their violent tendencies at their own populations. "Violence is never the answer" is something you can only say from a perspective of having all the historical violence that got you to where you are now, and all the violence that lets you stay where you are now, tucked away in a place where you don't have to see or think about it.

MikeJF posted:Jadis never does anything so something can happen. She's lost the ability make a choice like that. All she ever does is what she already knows she does. "Never making a choice" and "Always telling the truth" aren't the same thing, she absolutely seems like she'd be the person who'd find out she will lie, feel guilty about it for the years leading up to the point where she knows she'll do it, and then just tell the lie anyways the question of "at what point did a Jadis make the decision to tell the lie" seems like a paradox on the face of it, but that could just as easily be applied to any of the other things that she does-- she asked allison if she wants breakfast because she saw herself asking allison if she wants breakfast because etc e: a fun and interesting thought would be if Jadis sees and follows The One Specific Path She Always Does because that's the only path that does, in fact, perpetuate the cycle-- any divergence from it would have and has already resulted in the wheel being broken, whoops Ursine Catastrophe fucked around with this message at 11:46 on Nov 5, 2023 |

the maybe sword kills people who aren't sufficiently self-determined to live, my bet is that it doesn't kill jagganoth but cuts away his desire to destroy everything because allison manages to instill a sliver of doubt in him about it being the only solution i am not just saying that just because i'm hoping for a later jagganoth beach episode in the same way we're getting a solomon gone fishing episode, but i won't deny that it's a contributing factor

Gravitas Shortfall posted:okay but if that is true, how do you see the story playing out because this sounds like Jadis reasoning "you can't change anything so why bother" Immortality and omnescience in the context of the wheel, I'd assume; all power bets are off once the wheel is broken. My personal expectation is that nothing within the cycle will change, and nobody within the cycle can effect change, until someone outside the cycle can break it (or more specifically, prevent Zoss from resetting it again, regardless of whether his preferred outcome happens or not). So far everyone is very much within the cycle, regardless of how aware of it they are; I feel like it's going to be a tossup of "does this cycle end with a character we know ejected from the wheel once it ends, who then goes on to break the wheel next time around" or "is this cycle going to be affected by a character whose face we know who did that already and is just waiting to make their move"

JuniperCake posted:This stuff at least sheds some light on why Gog might have taken a shine to Allison. If Allison is indeed something new (Instead of Zaid or whoever always being the heir), then that would have been some kind of breath of fresh air. Especially given that Gog has effectively been forced to see this same story otherwise play out countless times. I mean the way she says "not you" at the end there seems to imply Allison isn't a wild card, or at least not a wild card by herself. maybe gog's just had a lot of lifetimes to fondly reminisce about someone who didn't eat the worm in any universe and always remained an external audience that laughs at her clowning at the end of the world

Fister Roboto posted:Have there ever been thought bubbles in this comic before? Every other "direct view of a character's thought process" has been an at least multi panel, frequently multipage event, from my hazy recollection of the bank heist arc as funny as it would be to have those two thought bubbles replaced with an internal gog peanut gallery for a couple pages, gog's already got the external one so I can understand why you wouldn't want to go that route this time around

Fister Roboto posted:Something about the repetition of "this I know, oh this I know" is unsettling in a way I can't put a finger on. I can't tell if it's a "reading someone who's singing lyrics" thing, or a reference to something I don't immediately know, or both There's been a couple instances in the last couple of pages where gog goes off on little textual tangents like that and since this is all dressed up in an eric andre spoof I can't tell if that's a gog thing or a reference thing

mycomancy posted:IIRC the writers of the script said Bill's character was in the loop for 10,000 years or something like that, but I could have that figure mixed up with another causal loop movie. anyone anywhere who throws "it was 10,000 years" into their worldbuilding without thinking about it for a fraction of a second is just lazy since it's inevitably "yeah they just kind of popped out exactly the same as when they went in, no real worldview differences to speak of, no trauma or anything from being alive and aware of the time passing" i feel like junji ito's the long dream is one of the few places I've seen the concept actually touched on directly also r scott bakker's nonmen but everything around and involved in that series is pretty
