Was there any reason at all for Shadow to think that that was a troll village?

Was it the baby?

Maybe the village is just located somewhere inside or near troll territory.

The real question is, if Shadow can do this dark cheeto ball that can singlehandedly level entire towns, why didn't he use it to take everyone out at the Bever concert?

I'd guess it has something to do with the escalation of his feelings of frustration and impotency--his plans have failed and gone nowhere; he's been betrayed by his only competent ally. At the Justin Bever concert he felt in control until the very end and he was probably too shocked and confused by what was happening to truly tap into this kind of power.

It's hilarious because if he had just read the maps Knuckles printed out while he was high on smart weed this wouldn't have happened. Shadow's constant disregard of his stoned out echidna bro just caused thousands of innocent deaths.

Alright, so I've just sort of realised;

what kind of universe does TGT take place in where there is just this little village of people without roads in the middle of this giant field? We know there are cities just a brisk walk away due to the neutrals backstory (and that's not even including the Troll city). What gets me is that it's SO SMALL.

I mean if it were a TROLL CAMP it makes more sense. Just this little settlement right here strikesme as kind of odd. I expect that this may drive Shadow over the edge into full-on insane villain territory.

Someone should draw Shadow as Shiva the Destroyer.

Welp, Shadow is either going to reform, be crushed by his own actions, or kill Knuckles in rage and go full Akira.

Or just go "oops. Well gently caress." Then find a real troll camp I guess.

This thread caused me to spend the last few days reading it and the comic while checking the youtube channel and also listening to the songs inspired by lazerbots masterpiece. I have laughed and become a silent supporter of this mans cause to provide the internet with his gripping tale involving cartoon, comic and video game characters. While smoking the gra gra I have come to realize the deep and inspiring comments that have sprung forth. This story in some ways has put me in the same place as Breaking Bad in the ways characters continue to get into hosed up and crazy situations and I am stuck wondering just how everything will come together or play out.

With that all being said; drat LB. That poo poo was hosed up bro.

Well, I gotta say, the phrase "I am become death" sounds somehow more grammatically correct through Lazerbot's writing.

Look how many consecutive frames there are of the grisly mass death.

Like Beavis scribbling explosions onto stick figures on animation paper, the images coming to life as he grinds his pencil to a nub; reaching for another sheet, and doing it over and over and over.

There's a horrible beauty to what we've just witnessed here. All context considered, this is one of the most intense things I've ever seen.

A couple of other people mentioned it, but all I can think of when I read this page is this scene from Barefoot Gen.

Holy poo poo I thought we were just going to get a DBZ smoke explosion. Not that.

Also the twist with it not even being a troll camp at all. Totally didn't see that coming at all. It'll be really interesting to see how Shadow really reacts to this.

As for why he didn't just use this power before - a few reasons make sense to me. First, he wasn't angry enough to tap into that kind of power, and second - it has a long charge up time. If he tried that against the trolls earlier they probably would've just stopped him.

I'm also curious if Lazerbot is ever going to have Knuckles actually fight anyone - Shadow is looking more and more like he might attack Knuckles and provoke him into having to defend himself. I wonder if he'd actually make Knuckles a threat or if he'd write him as a pushover.

I'd assume Knuckles would be pretty tough, considering that his entire thing in the actual games is that he's the tough guy who can shatter stone and can climb walls by punching them repeatedly.

Yeah but he always bails out before the endgame, can't (usually) go super, and was like the weakest character in Sonic Battle. He's basically superficially tough, like Worf or Wolverine.
