Roland Jones posted:As much of a jerk as she can be (though honestly she has some very legitimate grievances with Cio and Allison both), 000001 is quite the badass. Mouthing off to Mottom like that is pretty awesome, even if it's probably going to get her splattered. She also intercepted the opening blow of a Godfight. Even if it was meant as a polite greeting, that's still a thing.

I think Oscar's poses and expressions make this one of my favorite pages done. yeah, in particular the transition from "jolly cheery, if highly homicidal, demon-bro" to "hm, i have some concerns that he might actually be a bad man" in that last panel with nothing but a shift in perspective is great

ConanTheLibrarian posted:A tournament is an extremely artificial situation where rules are imposed on the actions of people who (in this case) have no reason to submit to them. It's nearly always employed to suit a story teller who couldn't think of a better way to have certain characters come into contact without most of them being wiped out. I'm not entirely certain this is the case, it could be "we have set aside a world for a series of 1v1 matches. Go hog wild." Whereupon Solomon David incinerates his way to and through the finals by Royalizing everyone he faces.

ConanTheLibrarian posted:loving hell the font was tiny in the first book. A quick check shows it gradually increasing over time. Trends indicate that by the climax of the last book, everyone will be speaking in size 24 comic sans. The lady who was telling the truth escaped prostitution through Imperial education and employment and her only punishment was six months of hard labor. And her baby became a ward of the state, so presumably it went pretty well for the baby too.

Bongo Bill posted:Solomon David creates suffering without realizing it so that he can make himself feel good+strong by relieving it. His people work themselves to the bone for his sake, but the benefit is not his glory (as they think) but his pride. He doesn't have to stage a scene like this for Zaid, because this scene plays out wherever he goes and his entire civilization is designed to create scenes like this. The demiurges change their worlds to suit their self-image, because they're all-powerful narcissists. I wish to reference once more the Parable of Solomon David And The Baby. All things considered, it was a somewhat reasonable judgement and it's definitely better to reside in Dave's seventh than Mottom's (and maybe Mammon's, because, well, bankers), but, well. “The Star Emperor is a man of great stature, with an oiled beard and stern countenance. He does not concern himself, as his kin do, with plotting and scheming against each other, but chiefly with the exercise of ruling. His primary concern is justice. His subjects live fairly, peaceably, and one might say even well, if not for the heavy blade of the law constantly grazing the tender skin of their necks.”

Darth Walrus posted:I mean, her sin is Envy, and she’s a pile of worms who clearly cares quite a bit about appearing human and being a patron of human culture. Those facts alone seem to tell you a fair amount. I have a suspicion that the only reason she became a Demiurge was because the cool kids were doing it and she imitated them so well that she succeeded.

Poltergrift posted:I think the problem with the Celestial Empire is its punitive, draconian legal system. The one court case we've gotten details on led to literally every person involved -- both plaintiffs and the defendant -- receiving punishment. It's peaceful, and the ziggurats run on time, but you can be sentenced to hard labor for sleeping with a soldier and executed for perjury, and that seems sufficiently wicked to me. Abaddon's line (from the beginning of this chapter?) went something like "Solomon David's subjects live peacefully, and perhaps even well, but for the heavy blade of the Law constantly grazing the tender skin of their necks."

Joe Slowboat posted:Based on metaphorical flashback images they all were demiurges before the war (or at least before the war reached Throne proper).

Maybe Maya, if she's waiting to swoop in at an opportune moment, but we still don't know what her deal is. i figure the final boss, other than Al-Yisun's own lack of enlightenment, is probably Metatron he and 2 Michael (and Zoss) are the ones playing the big game here, and I suspect they have something up their sleeve to handle Jagganoth if it becomes necessary Jagganoth was Metatron's original omnicide scheme but Metatron presumably intended to rebuild after Jagganoth wiped out the rest of the annoying multiverse
