I said similar, not identical. Besides, infectious evil is a pretty common trope. The lack of horror on my part is that I was relatively recently exposed to a similar concept in another story.
My point is that even the worse case outcome is an improvement over the current situation. Even if the Endbringer then moves to eating the whole brain instead of just the stem, that's still a win.
1/ Not everyone in the city is infected. Sterilizing non-infected citizens is a failure.
Glassed =/= saved.
The problem is, these chapters don't really advance the plot. They show that Eidolon's subconscious is a dick that hates Pantheon because they do what he can't, sure, but we knew that already. The only new information from the Wendigo fight was the new power combo (two capes whose names I've already forgotten) and the single step Lisa made towards "Fuck Eidolon." Everything else, up to and including the destruction of BB, was irrelevant.
Only if you're not paying any attention at all. Or don't consider character development part of the plot.
Actually, you know what I'd like to see? I'd like to see someone come to the dawning realisation that something's about to happen - and manage to stop it.
Isn't that what happened with Wendigo?
I prefer the slice of life segments, and even the "time to curbstomp a human villain" segments like the trips to Houston/Chicago/NYC. The last one was... when Eric was introduced? How many chapters ago was that? How many Endbringers ago was that? Again, it feels like you've gotten stuck in a cycle of [happy moments] -> [drama and feels] -> [NEW HORRIFYING ENDBRINGER] -> [repeat], with no way out until the inevitable Fuck Eidolon moment. That scene only feels farther away every time the cycle repeats, not closer like it should.Only if you're not paying any attention at all. Or don't consider character development part of the plot.
Also: slice of life (where life is shitty a lot) fic. I don't NEED plot.
Rey does too.
Missy: "One two three not it."
Actually, I found Wendigo to be much worse (in a good way, since Endbringer) then the current one. That could just be the uniqueness factor of how it worked (since, as I said, I unfortunately already saw something like this Endbringer in another fic, so that kind of changes how much of an impact it can have on me), or it could just be my mindset and how I place value on different things/aspects of life. I don't know.
Firstly, you've included a loophole... but you've included it as a very obvious loophole. So I'm really not sure if you're just putting it there to tease.
Considering the number of villains that he's probably pissed off over the years, writing that scene would not be indicative of anything.
... Considering his avatar, he can't not respond with a duck.
The word "or" wasn't used at all. So... neither.
This is a valid point which I had not considered. Odds go up! Maybe.
More of a reference to canon than anything.
I specifically said that I prefer the slice of life and street-level action, so... no?
They're the level conflict in this story is at. A counterpoint to their normally fairly peaceful, even charmed by Worm standards, lives. To remind everyone that despite everything they're accomplishing, they're not at the point they need to be. To frustrate, confound, and wound the characters.
Nah, only the opposition is allowed to be infallible. You should know better, Ack.
Just hit me. Thats Zach. Someone who chases you down to give you the last suicidal acidic hug in your life?
