It was pretty interesting, because it reveals lots about our characters. What their goals are, what they're capable of, what they plan to do. I was especially surprised re: villain in purple. I had not anticipated a desire to kill. And of course, this now gives blue hero a reason to need to use his retcon power.
One thing that does bother me is how easily villain drawing the anime was defeated. I suppose that's the point, but it just feels... wrong. What is his purpose in the story? Clearly not as a credible antagonistic force. I suppose that this could prompt him to try to become stronger until he is one, but it seems rather lategame for that and that was his original goal anyway? It just seems so late in the story for him to only now become competent. He didn't use any magic either, which makes me wonder about his classpect. I'm fairly certain that he didn't lie about god-teiring, so why didn't he have any powers? (Perhaps related to his nature as a 'stunted miserable tool'? Could his unusual predomination have disrupted the growth needed for progressing enough to get flashy powers? That would raise questions about what his classpect even means, and why what he's doing isn't fulfilling it properly. Or it could just be that his powers are non-applicable to combat.)

Spoilers ahead, be wary all ye who enter here. I think it's more like Caliborn had just never actually fought another real person anymore, and he figured he'd just be a pushover like everything else in the game. I guess that's supposed to be character development in that it's a kick in the pants to get him out and about again instead of just lazing around drawing stupid cartoons on the internet, but it does seem like it's coming in a little late. Of course, I'm not surprised either. No matter how much we like the comic, the pacing is just terrible.  Related, Karkat, my favorite troll, is now apparently dead. As are all the others. I really have to wonder how they're going to bring them back, because to have their characters wait around for 3 years only to die upon arriving at the surface just strikes me as a little anticlimactic. :/ |

There are "doomed time-line" theories floating around. Also: Aranea tho.

I doubt it's a doomed timeline, personally. After all, why introduce John's retconning ability if you aren't going to use it?

Not because of John. Well in part. But it comes from Aranea for the most part.

As it turns out, it was just a very bloated Doomed Timeline.

Of course, given that stable retcon loops are possible, we know that while John CAN change what is Alpha, he can also travel time as normal (mostly). So we don't know whether there was a pre-retcon Alpha that the Game Over timeline stemmed from, or if the post-retcon timeline was what it split from...

I'm mainly just waiting for Roxy to conjure up the remaining trolls' slabs so they can finally epic-ify. It might not happen, but it should, since all I want is to see Karkat finally come into his own. |

The only good thing about homestuck is that the page has a link to problem sleuth.

Hey speaking of mspa apparently the forums went down because PROBLEMS and now a bunch of fans created a refugee forum?? omegaupdate.freeforums.net/And I'm just like ayyyyyyyyyyyyy I mean obviously it isn't quite the same because only the forum is gone not the comic but still it's interesting to see another group have some similar experiences (albeit in larger scale because they are a much larger group). |
