Although it gets weird there at the end where he says he has an attachment to breaking our attachments.

Wouldn't surprise me. 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?

Not to mention he just had a flashback of Roadrunner. That's a loving Death Flag right there.

You just signed his death warrant.


e: Seriously though, if this implies that lazerbot was more concerned with screwing around with the audience's expectations than with good storytelling, I'm going to be pretty disappointed. It was a crazy scene, the kind I know and love, but I hope he had a better reason to do it than just being a dick.

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.

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?

You can't reach Nirvana if you actively *want* to reach Nirvana, but it's obviously a motivational force. Lazerbot has just reached enlightenment and this is the only way to communicate it to the rest of us.

Certainly. 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.

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.

Brilliant.

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, :wtc:

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.

Oh no, I'm positive that Coyote will absolutely devastate Demaro.

Given that Chapter 4 Part 2 of the motion comic's been on hold for months, I'd put the ETA for Chapter...(what chapter are we on, 13?) sometime just after the ape uprising.
