Before the last chapter he was talking about having to rewrite it before posting and before then he moved to a 2 week a chapter schedule so it wouldn't make any sense for another chapter to be written within a week after the last one.
I got my wires crossed a bit. I read Alma as a little sister character, which I automatically associated with Tetra, maybe because of the capital I Proto AIma.Do you mean Aisha or Tetra, maybe? I don't remember that Survey was have any connection with Alma ( ghost-girl from FEAR, you know).
I mean, that Alma would have take Dinah situation close to her heart, with her own background. Definitely, with EXTREMELY violence. If she could to interact with something. I have no enough knowledge about FEAR lore, and why she can`t interact with no one, except Joe.
Maybe Coil's (or Dinah?) power would have some... "connectivity" to Alma, what will allow her to interact witn them.
As I remember, Joe completely ignored Dinah's kidnapping, when it was on TV news, because he was so angry on his shard for situation with The Undersiders. And Joe was ignored everything and completely enjoyed about his shard was finally suffering about TV news. Because in this moment it was about Dinah's kidnapping.
After that? I guess that Joe don`t like think about the BBCB robbery enough. So he ignored Dinah too. And Survey wasn`t online at that time, so she didn`t make investigation about Dinah too, I think.
In one of TT interludes it was about she knew that Coil now have a precog, and she knew that Coil kidnapped Dinah too, but she didn`t understand for that he did it. She didn`t put two and two together. Would that be enough to save her from Joe's wrath? May be. Would that be enough to save her from Alma's wrath? Is the question.
I really hope that S9 will ended until this year. Or at least a fight will begin
No wonder outsiders like Gully only see Clockblocker as a serious hero - all things considered, if you only know this much about him he's pretty much even more of an exemplar of competence, stoicism, and seriousness. Especially in contrast to the sheer embarrassment that Armsmaster had been in that same time period: despite being known for his supposed competence, he had majorly impaired PRT response with that interrogation of Panacea, greatly misjudged Apeiron to be a non-Tinker, got smacked around by Lung and lost Weld in the process, before remaining absent for the rest of Apeiron's activities.LordRoustabout said:
Well it is well known in psychology that negative emotions outweigh positive emotions in terms of public memory. So Armsmaster's decade of service does not compare to Clockblocker's week of sucesses.(Apart from the Gallery being rebuilt, of course)
Might also be the fact that Clockblocker is still a Ward team leader and that since apparently the brockton standard operations of wards is equivalent to WTF are you doing level of danger for other branches of the PRT means that his showings in Public is the equivalent of a Full fledged Protectorate Team despite his Youth.
To be fair, Armsmaster's downfall is actually a lot worse than what I've listed. As the leader of the Brockton Bay Protectorate, he along with Director Piggot are at the center of all the criticism coming down on the local PRT branch. It's especially worse for Armsmaster - at least Piggot was a nameless director as far as the public was concerned - Armsmaster was one of the more famous members of the local PRT with a sterling reputation. For him to have that kind of reputation though while the ABB still managed to arrange human trafficking rings of even underage citizens?
From my current reread it actually seems that Armsmaster/Colin is doing much better than Piggot. Specifically it's because he got seriously injured and has been incapacitated for basically this entire crisis. It also probably helps that as far as the public is concerned he caught Lung shortly before the crisis showing that he was making progress. The public actually wants him back, it also helps that people believe that he's responsible for the partial clearing of the blackout zone that Zion did.
Keep in mind that one part of what set all this off was Armsmaster being involved in taking Lung into custody, as far as the general public is aware. So it probably doesn't look like they were ignoring the problem of the ABB, but until the Ungodly Hour, it looked like the Bay didn't have anyone who could have a good chance of defeating the ABB or capturing its members without luck and very specific preparation, which Armsmaster had been doing (as is expected of a skilled tinker). Because of that, and because he really doesn't seem to be that good socially even with all the coaching and tools he has, I suspect the public won't generally get the impression he was more focused on PR than stopping the ABB, and more think that he just isn't the sort of tier to solo the Brockton situation, and the local heroes were vastly outnumbered and in some cases overpowered. They'll certainly think he made his mistakes, and wasn't competent enough, but I think they'll be less thinking he was PR focused, and more thinking he's done relatively well with his powers and the forces he had on hand, but that he was nowhere near up to the standards of craziness that is Brockton Bay, and that the Bay was long in need of a Triumvirate tier hero that simply wasn't available due to the limited number of them being more needed elsewhere (like protecting LA, New York, or suppressing the Fallen).
That's something included in it. Honestly, this gives a way better characterisation of Missy than most fics which tend to assume just because she's not SS she can instantly be typecast as badass veteran and shoehorned in as Taylor's new best friend or Dinah's somehow.
The best thing is that it's kind of true, in Canon we see unlike Fanon, he has a sort of PR trained Charisma and an endless search for promotions. Although that could just be Taylor's paranoia speaking.
The thing is, through WoGs and Ward, all of her paranoias and persecution syndrome have been revealed as being actually true since WindBlow is an active government distruster (and his views color the entirety of Worm and Ward)
I think that Wildbow is a bit more than just an active government distruster. I generally don't trust any government but Wildbow takes it to a whole new level. Unless there is some specific definition for government distruster or whatever I think it's too mild a term.
American, Paranoid, Anarchist maybe I don't know of any more specific terms.
Nah. Not American, there are plenty of Americans who trust the government way too much. Wildbow is also Canadian as far as I know, as you can see with his failure to understand that there are more than 1.2 guns per person in the US and how deadly they are. Anyway, I think calling him a paranoid anarchist would probably fit.
With Katsujinken, he can probably communicate with the two heroes and use his various assorted soul tech to free them using countercraft
It's funny in a tongue-in-cheek way how even Becky got scrambled with the fiat-backed Stranger effect.
Fitting for someone who calls themselves "Butcher" to be beaten entirely by meat.
While there are some valid points here I think the reason I hate Saint and a lot of people do has well more has to do with if his arguments are valid he should have killed Dragon years ago. The only reason he doesn't is because he wants to feel special.
Because that's a feeling that definitely none of us here can relate at all, I'm sure
Well sure. We want to feel special. We also aren't feeding that by keeping what we believe to be an existential threat to humanity around to "watch". Saint also kinda does a piss poor job of actually watching and controlling Dragon. There are also other things like how him becoming a mercenary was completely unnecessary and was also again only to feed his ego.
