So is he saying he trolled us, or is he like Jesus and this whole thing was to teach us a life lesson?

I'm getting some 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors vibes here. I love this. Lazerbot & his brother's poetic rants are some brilliant metaphysical poo poo.

If that's the end, it was the best possible ending I can think of. Bravo! If that's not the end, then holy poo poo, that was some climax. Bravo!

Lazerbot just dropped a Buddha Dharma teaching on us. Jesus. See, if you hadn't become attached to Rob this would not affect you. Look how your attachments make you all so sad! Although it gets weird there at the end where he says he has an attachment to breaking our attachments.

Holy poo poo I was just kidding when i posted the Grant Morrison hypothesis but now... I can't even be so even sure now. Also from the Deviantart page LB possibly hinted at the next one being killed... Coyote?

Coyote's suddenly shown himself to be a bit too cocky and is bordering on non-neutral, while Demaro has yet to be fully fleshed out as the new big bad. No, I think Coyote has a chance of losing this fight. EDIT: Guess who else thinks he's helping Fudd and helped the Troll Slaiyers?

What the gently caress. I'm really hoping this isn't some sort of Octocat thing, because Lazey-B is seriously impressing me with how his writing skills have developed. PS: Please stop posting spoilery comments above the new strip, it really hurts the TGT Experience. HorseRenoir fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Nov 28, 2012 |

It would actually be good storytelling if it's actually foreshadowing Coyote's death for similar reasons. Also, I'm trying to read into the selected backgrounds for 18.1. The Troll hideout...? And then an explosion?

He might be doing something completely legit like clearing the stage of the extra heroes to make room for Tails, but 18.1 sort of felt like unnecessary gloating. Time will tell, I suppose.

H2Omelon posted:Ahaha that Rob death is great. All this time we've had long drawn out fights that people complained about a whole bunch, and all the signs were pointing for this one to be another but nope, he just gets exploded instantly. My sides are hurting and my eyes are watering because of this. Lazerbot having the balls to not only kill a fan-favorite in a horribly violent way with his exploded head flopping to the floor but also cut to the end of an otherwise expected long fight just to mess with the audience is honestly admirable. As an aspiring writer, I commend his audacity. That being said,

Just briefly chatted with Lazy and yeah this had been planned all along. I straight up asked him if it was a reaction to the complaints during the previous fight and he said no. He thought it would be a cool story beat to off a character so quickly, but he is also very sad to see Rob go. He reiterated that no one is safe and anyone can die. Oh, and Hindo really is supposed to be a badass. I think it's a pretty sound assumption that there is only one character with "plot armor" and even then I highly doubt Tails is totally safe.

The thing that disappoints me most about this though, is that I really wanted to see a scene of Troll King trying to use the Words of Death against Rob and failing because I DON'T HAVE ANY loving EARS. Even if Rob were to then be immediately offed in some other fashion, I just wanted to see that happen.
