With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

Did OL ever fix Freddie's legs? Also, is this an opportunity for Billy to respec, splitting out the lighting-transform vs lighting-teleport vs lighting-as-a-weapon trio? Is there a reason, other than pronouncability, that the Wizard's spell is limited to six Gods?

The thing with Solomon and the baby - was that a test or an actual attempt? Wondering if there are parallels to the Hyperion story with the goat that Zoat's mentioned twice before.

Agree Barda would be a good choice to replace Ares.

Another interesting option is that Paul could stretch his war god search out to alien gods

Paul doesn't really know any alien gods, aside from those children and descendants that Rhea had and the New Titans.

I think he was born there and he's leading a rebellion against Darkseid.

Even if she can physically become an adult, her mentality and overall experience may not be enough.

Out of the most well-know pantheons left, there's the Roman, which Hephaestaean might reject because of double-dipping, or maybe the Norse. ;) And certain signs point to at least one god considering a transfer, perhaps? I'm sure we'll see soon enough. Perhaps Odin might be willing to arrange a mutual defence pact or something as payment for the services of an Aesir?

For well-known pantheons, there's also the Celts. Certainly less well-known to the public, but they have actually been mentioned a few times in this story, which is more than most pantheons can say. The Aztec pantheon has also been briefly mentioned, although I actually wonder if they could fit the requirement for savagery, since Aztec war often put great emphasis on capturing the enemy alive.

The whole human sacrifice thing could help them fit the role.

its really annoying that Paul mentioned this one without any of the context to the situation, and that Solomon wasn't going to actually harm the child.

But then Paul tends to do this alot saying something about the far past in a bad light without explaining the context unless asked

the Amazons before they got on the Island did some pretty bad shit, they only became how they are now because of the Island and the gods providing everthing they need.

Yet paul conveniently never brings this up

Running a rebellion that Darkseid allows (not that he knows this

It's more that six of the gods create a highly favourable environment. They do still have to do work.

True.

I think he knows this since in the comics he once talked to Darkseid alone abd Darkseid didn't hurt him.

That just screams that Darkseid is unconcerned with Himon.

Maybe Himkn is counting on Darkseids arrogance being his downfall.

He knew that eyeball god, though I'm pretty sure he killed it. He also knows New Gods, though I'm not sure if they're acceptable for this role.

You might be right, but since that isn't exactly part of their war (although it certainly was an objective of it) I'm not sure it would count.

This always hits me with a feeling of dissonance. Probably because I'm used to the Nasu version of Heracles, where he did no such damn thing to the Amazons. Nasu Heracles came in peace, Hippolyta allowed any of her warriors who wanted children to freely mingle with the heroes aboard Heracles' ship, and signed a trade agreement with the city-state Heracles came from. This was helped by the fact that Eurystheus asked for the belt to give to his daughter, so the Amazons accepted it as "giving aid to a woman living in a faraway land", and came to the conclusion that forging an alliance with Heracles was worth more to their people than the war-belt.

Then that utter bitch Hera ruined everything.
 
Darko said:
In the past before they came to their island.

Like when they conquered and butchered parts of Greece.

Granted most of that may have been committed by Hyppolyta's mom, so most of the modern Amazons may not have been involved.

Greek nations fought each other all the time. It was only a big deal because of how successful she was.
