Joe Slowboat posted:There’s not really any evidence of her being able to force the worm - I’m pretty sure when she devours a world she literally just totally eats people with a mass of worms. After all, the name of the play is Man, and its hero the Conqueror Worm. She maybe can rebuild them out of worms but I imagine she’s bad at it - one thing Gog Agog isn’t very good at is subterfuge, based on literally everything we’ve seen her do on screen. It's really dangerous to assume someone's bad at lying, especially when they're going out of their way to present themselves to you. "Oh look I'm an idiot goofball and you can read me like a book, there's no way I could pull one over on you so you can trust anything I say." Gog Agog is a master manipulator, she definitely didn't win by the sword. And yet since she's a literal dancing clown none of the other Demiurges take her seriously. vvv Edit: The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was making you believe he sucked at fiddling.

My pet theory is that Gogz is secretly allied with Jaggy because that's the cleanest suckerpunch I can picture, but it's just a hunch and I don't care to put forth a supporting argument.

Juggernaut Star is a slave and is basically crushed into the mold of apocalyptic avenger, and in her pain she has learned to hate everything. But it isn't willful. This isn't what she'd be doing if it was her choice. It's misguided to consider her a 'hardcore enforcer' so much as another victim of oppression, forced to become a monster.

Kicking her rear end is kind of old hat at this point, she's sort of become a jobber as far as nemeses go. Hopefully she comes around and throws off the yoke herself, the flame growing as White Chain shares it etc, but you might be right.

On the other hand it's a bit of a stretch to call it a cycle and stress the term when it's really just one person who's ever done this thing before. And it's not even like, happening the same way. How can Zoss be so sure Allison will be as bad of a Ruling King as him if he hasn't ever seen anyone but him do this extremely unique job?

GunnerJ posted:Not exactly uncommon for characters who've seen the error of their ways to draw conclusions from other characters making the same mistakes tbh. I don't disagree, but that's hardly a 'cycle'. I don't hang around my former workplaces telling people to break the cycle of me having been really fuckin' awful at that job. Zoss thought he could be a better God than God Actual so he went upstairs to impeach him and take over. He was wrong and he did a pretty lovely job, so he gave his power to A Random Girl that didn't know or want any of this poo poo and now he's just hanging around as a ghost telling her she'd make a lovely queen because he himself didn't do so great. Maybe Failed God Zoss is not the guy to listen to. Maybe the male voices in her ear are all equally poison and she should go her own way.

What if Allison makes it to the top and murders the concept of Cruelty? Just cuts it out of all realities. I mean I feel like Zoss didn't really use his supergod powers very intelligently if he left in all this bad code. There can't have been multiple heirs without a timeloop, and I'm sort of on board with not having a timeloop because time travel stories are usually pretty annoying. Otherwise: Why do the demiurges all act like this is the first time Zoss has ever had an heir? Why do they never talk about having dealt with heirs in the past? Why did we watch Zoss literally die in the first sequence of the comic if there are one or more heirs between him and Allison? Is there a Cavern of the Incarnate where all the failed Nerevarines can show up to give Allison advice on how to reach heaven through Violence as ordained in the 36 Lessons of Vivec?

Is it really a huge surprise that the guy who is known to have hosed up everything in the first place is perhaps a bit of a fuckup? Like, I never really took Zoss at face value anyway, because the theme of an old man telling a young woman what to do being a right and good thing doesn't really jive with the rest of the comic.

Captain Oblivious posted:Or to put it another way, I think the reason why Zoss is probably MOSTLY trustworthy is he is not an Old Man telling a young woman what to do, he’s an Old Man telling a young woman “here’s how I hosed up REAL bad please try anything other than that and hopefully be better than me”. He's got his finger on the reset button in case she doesn't resolve this impossible situation to his liking. He's still loving up.

Everyone is stuck in a cycle of violence regardless of Zoss doing looper poo poo. The only one in command of that power is an antagonist and another loop happening is a worst case scenario because it instantly and permanently removes our heroine from the story along with all the relationships she formed along the way.

eke out posted:i take this one as direct confirmation of that, yeah, the gender is too apparent, it's always been a young man and it probably should've been Zaid but something's different I don't think Zoss picked Allison on purpose, he just didn't have sight or hearing and blindly grabbed what he thought was Zaid in a desperate clutch play.

Cio looks like she's freaking the gently caress out but she always does whenever she's in actual danger because she's got the temperment of an especially-nervous cat so I think all told she's holding it together quite well by staying on-task and not being dead.

Hell yeah I thought I was the only one who remembered It Hurts when I read that. I don't see how Allison could survive a malevolent Jadis. Like, she can in no way protect herself and all her allies are dead, and now she's being transported to a second location. Despite the many, many red flags it makes it hard for me to imagine Cube Witch having cruel intentions here.

Rotten Red Rod posted:Solomon's kamikaze doing even that much is incredibly impressive, but I thought it was pretty clear from the narrative that they'd never be able to kill him without full cooperation from all the demiurges. The comic is all about performing feats that everyone from experts to amateurs declares to be impossible. It shouldn't be assumed that Solomon's attack failed to kill any more than it should be assumed that it worked.
