Nuebot posted:I'm morbidly curious now though, did anyone cool die? Yeah, they sent the ONE big "bad" guy that's been teased and actually developed this whole time into the ether. Since then, the comic has completely lacked direction and you can follow the author's thinking as he flails chapter to chapter to make someone stick. Read up to the part where a fairy dressed like Joseph Stalin tells Annie she's a selfish, life-threatening rear end in a top hat. Past that point, the comic is like watching a writer with dementia slowly and very sadly progress into oblivion. Potato Salad fucked around with this message at 13:44 on Jan 25, 2023 |

Annie died twice and got mad that certain people wish she had died more.

You guys are forgetting the part where two of the coolest characters in the comic "died" by merging together, and the resulting character embodies the phrase "less than the sum of its parts" more than ever humanly thought possible

catapede posted:Renard's body died but nobody (in the comic) seemed to care much. No worries, that was just done to make sure his death sticks when he sacrifices himself later for some arbitrary reason. Annie isn't allowed to have friends or people who care about her by the time the comic is over you know.

Killing Loup could be the entry point for the psychopomp plotline to come back. That'd be fun. Actually, it's all cool and fine, it's going to be fine. Looking forward to some Art.

Wait, actually, imagine what nonsense Loup would introduce retroactively into the world if he actually became part of the Ether. Would he rules-lawyer his way into immortality by going "if I sincerely believe I can resurrect myself it will become so!" or something like that? ...Would he become a real boy to stay with Lana? Is this a stealth Pinocchio retelling?

a strange fowl posted:i haven't read this drat comic in years, what is it even about anymore? Two of the dog gods merged into a teenage boy's Sonic OC, who did a lot of destruction and killing but now is pretending to be a teenage boy, who's now dating, which is supposed to make it sad that the previous protagonist of the comic is prophesied to 'kill' him. And the court has this master plan to use magic to gently caress off to another planet where there's no magic, but nobody's been given reasons to care about that. That's genuinely the most coherent summary I can come up with at the moment. Ditocoaf fucked around with this message at 05:01 on Jan 27, 2023 |

Who all is jazzed for this chapter where Kat's character is further demolished when she goes crazy obsessive and accidentally kills Zimmy and/or Gamma?

Gunnerkrigg pulled a homestuck: pulling out extra clones of the main character then unceremoniously ditching them, killing the compelling and well-established threats to replace them with an edgy meta villain that hasn’t yet accomplished anything and that looks like a sonic oc, all essential character development and discussion now happens off screen, the final arc is now about new characters no one cares for and their teenage lovelife in a way that cripples the last sense of urgency and threat while the original cast has been largely written off. All that’s left is to Vriska-fy Kat.

Wow, the framing of Anni with her "but I had to tell x" is really 80s. Reminds me of Newspaper Spider-man. Though Newspaper Spider-man is much funnier.

My bet: Kat will do something horrible in a way that fucks with the robots, and in an act of heroism Loup will attempt to protect/save Lana. He may get injured in the process. This is to make him endearing and further redeem him as a tragic antihero in love. I place this bet because it is a common trash shoujo bad boy redemption plotbeat, and because I have no hope.

Genuinely like this page aside from the reminder of how badly the last chapter ended. Kat and Paz's faces are funny.coolusername posted:My bet: It is also going to be dumb and contrived as gently caress, and solvable in a way that isn't "kill Zimmy". But because the comic needs it to happen for the story to progress in the way the author wants it to, it's going to happen anyway. coolusername posted:All that’s left is to Vriska-fy Kat.

Tiny Myers posted:I think Gunnerkrigg Court is an allegory for the American political system. I dug this one back up for Homekrigg Stuckourt chat. I think the person who said Lana being Elon Musk was too cruel owes me an apology now that Lana has thrown herself at Loup in the same way Musk has now fully embraced Twitter and is rapidly discarding any pretenses of not courting the alt-right.

Tiny Myers posted:My personal bet is that Zimmy does something to threaten Annie's life, resulting in Kat killing her. It's already been a well-established theme that Kat will do anything for Annie, including "making an antigravity spacecraft" and "breaking time itself", and that Kat is capable of going down a much darker road if not for Annie's influence. Zimmy becomes increasingly convinced Annie works with the court for some reason. Jerrick convinces her to try to kill Annie for some reason, then Kat kills her.

I actually think Vriska did do a couple of things wrong and the story was pretty clear about it.
