Panel 3 Silver, though, is sniffing his fingers, and from the looks of things, they are funky.

Two quick questions:

1) Does Shadow have telekenetic powers in the Sonic franchise? (My only exposure to Sonic has been this comic)

2) I have a vague memory of a TGT character collecting DNA of all the others in some sort of hidden cave lab with a bunch of test tubes. What character was that and has it ever been referenced again?

Seems so. Somebody posted much earlier in this thread (don't feel like searching 300+ pages for it) a Youtube vid of a boss fight between Sonic and him. Apparently during the fight he just levitates around, throw piles upon piles of cars* at Sonic, and repeats "it's no use" and "give up".

(* The hedgehogs in the Sonic universe are incredibly more resistant to cars than they are in the real world.)

That's Silver, Shadow's the black one. He can shoot fireballs and stop time.

Shadow has some sort of unexplained powers too. "Chaos control" whatever emerald bullshit.

The real problem with the Sonic Adventure + games was that they tried to make the narrative more complex but didn't explain anything.

The "Chaos Control" thing is really ill-defined in the Sonic games. I think in Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow the Hedgehog it slowed down time or allowed Shadow to teleport. It's been a long time since I played either game, though.

He could do both of those things in both games. In Sonic 2006 Sonic and Shadow could straight up use Chaos Control to go back and forth in time altogether, in addition to slowing it down and teleporting.

Silver can also Chaos Control but is able to do psychokinetic poo poo without the aid of emeralds. It's all very ill-defined and most recent Sonic games don't really touch on their weirder DBZ-esque powers.

Man, I hope this means Shadow will try to go back in time to kill Troll King.

As I have suspected, Trollface is not the one to stick around when against someone that can put up a fight. But I am worried about Tom.

The shotgun jump made me crack the biggest grin, the broomstick pose had me in bits.

I hope Silver remembers that just like a rock thrown by someone keeps going when it leaves his hand, that a rock thrown by telekinesis keeps going when it leaves his psychic power range.

Man, I don't know why troll king seems to be the main villain over troll face, troll face is an amazing villain because he is so detestable and yet hilarious at the same time. In fact, I think I like almost all of the villains over troll king, he just seems so bland and boring (aside from the fact that he yells curses really loud to kill people). Imagine if the Mario vs. Troll king fight was vs. troll face, it would have been so much better.

Troll Son has the advantage of getting the prestige but not having the day-to-day humdrum of being a supervillain. He can spend his time raping corpses instead of trying to get a whole citadel of trolls in some sort of order.

A life time of being the boss grinds down your edge, even if it builds your power

They have completely different roles in the narrative. As the main villain, Trollface would overstay his welcome and become repetitive and dull, much like the meme. Besides, hard-working fellow who earned his/her business/position/empire and the entitled/twisted rear end in a top hat heir are a time-honor tradition in stories.

I think it might've been worse, actually; along with cameos of all of his powers, one of the key things we got out of that fight was Mario's backstory. We almost definitely wouldn't have gotten that if he was fighting Trollface.

here's another Addison of TGT facts, one demaro is shorter then garry but the older brother of the two, fact 2 the trolls at the beginning of the comic that was killed by shadow was actually based on these two trolls and there trolling style i ran into before starting the comic. i found there style so silly i needed to portrayal it on comic form. of course its not copying i make it in a different matter but the style it self it spot on, they actually acted and spoke like the trolls did repeating the same insults lol fact 3 a lot of the troll styles the trolls have are different and are similar to trolls I've actually encounter so trolls actually help me get a more accurate portrayal of troll community so the more they troll my comic the more material i have to use" and that was my new addition of TGT facts i hope you enjoy it

What if the remaining protagonists (and mario/shadow) go back in time to the beginning of the comic and we get timeline shenanigans? I think Lazerbot could pull it off.

I kind of want it to be a predestination paradox like :lost: where they go back an Sayid shoots lil' Ben and Jack refuses to help him, so their actions set forth the incidents that lead up to Ben becoming an Other and the Incident.

So what happens is Shadow goes back and tries to kill the Troll King when he's a kid but the timeline won't allow it, so he ends up putting such a righteous :iceburn: that he sees no choice but become the Troll King.

Either Trollface is light as gently caress, or this shotgun has some serious firepower. Elmer fired it with one hand no problem, so he must be buff as gently caress.

Wait, did we ever get confirmation that this is in fact Elmer's shotgun?

Also I'm not sure if this was intentional or a coincidental nice touch, but trollface's expression in panel 7 is reminiscent of , which is an emoticon used in streamchats to mark trolling.
