Yeah at this point I'd wager that the plot needs LE to keep a conflict seeing as how powerful Jade is right now.

I find it funny that at one point, Hussie mentioned that he thought Jade came off as a little Mary Sue-ish, what with her omnipotent doggy daddy, her futuretech gizmos, and her plot device pseudo-prophetic powers. He worked hard to mitigate that, and for a while there I'd actually have argued that Jade was by far the weakest character.

Now she's part dog, with Green Sun powers on top of her God Tier (lol, dog tier) powers, and it seems to me that, since her dreamself was prototyped, she may now have access to sprite knowledge as well - that is, details on how the game world works. Not that that matters much anymore, now that the session has been reset, but it could come into play at some point.

She also has the coolest outfit.

I'm just waiting to see how she gets toned down, or what drawbacks she has; Hussie seems pretty aware of where his characters are, power-level/Sueitude-wise, so I suspect that he'll scale her back a little.

Lord English is absolutely going to show up very soon, though. I guarantee it. The Troll universe is destroyed. English has been created. He is already here, as they say.

Also, rereading the archives for the first time ever has shown me so many things that I had completely forgotten about and put them into greater context.

Like how right now I'm thinking the Condesce raised Mom in the Skaianet lab.

You know, little things like that.

EDIT: I mean, shit, even without the involvement of alien monarchs, "Mom was raised in a lab" explains a fucking lot.

He'll just compensate by giving all the other characters new power levels.

Except for Karkat.

Well, she's currently Godtier/Bec/Sprite-powered. Didn't Aradia lose her frogsprite features when their game ended? So it may be that Jade will lose her game-knowledge when the session's Scratch takes. And, of course, her Bec-powers will fade if they ever do succeed in destroying the Green Motherfucking Sun, though I dunno how they're going to do that, now.

Mr.Bookworm · 10-29-2011, 08:40 PM

I don't see why they would destroy the Green Sun, even if they were capable of doing that. Jack looks like he's going to stop being a problem soon, one way or another. Scratch is apparently a non-threat now with the entry of Lord English. Unless PM just completely flips her shit, she's not a problem. Lord English, who's looking like the Big Bad, doesn't run off the Green Sun as far as we know.

The only reason they were attempting to destroy it in the first place is because Scratch told them it would neutralize Jack's powers (lying by omission the entire time). Which is no longer necessary.

Now that all of the Green Sun-powered baddies are gone, they wouldn't be doing much more by destroying it than screwing over the most powerful people on their side.

Tangential note: I wonder if the trolls could have beaten Jack if they had actually worked together. God Tier Aradia was able to freeze Jack, God Tier Vriska was able to challenge him in a fight, and the other 10 were presumably at the top of their Echeladders.

If they had actually had a go at Jack after he destroyed Derse and God Tiered Aradia, instead of all the other shenanigans (yes yes stable time loops blah blah), I'm guessing they could have killed him or at least driven him off.

Of course that assumes the trolls could actually work together for more than five seconds without Karkat yelling at them, soooooooooooooo no.

New card

That one was a 5-minute no-brainer one, though...
