I'm reasonably certain the Green Sun is a necessary aspect of Creation. I've never really expected it to get destroyed in any kind of permanent sense.

Im totally expecting Act 6 to start off Like Act 1 and Hivebent did up until the point where J gets into The Medium, where suddenly John and Jade rip though Space on their golden ship and are just like "We got this, don't worry," and beat the game in like 1 hour.

Either that or, if we factor in the possibility that the resetting of the universe results in them essentially arriving at the same moment in the new timeline that they left their old one, John and Jade might find themselves face to face with four 13-year-old god tier versions of their guardians, assuming that they proved themselves as able of tearing through the levels as quickly as the kids were.

Given the availability of the two latest sets of god tier merchandise, I wouldn't exactly be surprised if Mom and Nanna weren't the heroes of Mind and Heart, respectively.

Also: We're all pretty certain that Lil' Cal is somehow Lord English at this point, right? Like, I don't have any idea how he's going to eventually end up fitting in the Cairo Overcoat but it feels like the story's been pretty much screaming that he is for a while now.

Yeah, that seems to be the most reasonable identity for LE. There's still some things that kind of throw it for me, but it seems likely, and none of my issues are particularly insurmountable. One thing I've been thinking though - everyone has some kind of main colour association. While Lord English is heavily associated with green, in his text and on his coat, he flashes through the entire spectrum. It seems like that should mean something.

Question: The Scratched trolls ended up switching place with their ancestors, right?

What if the Scratched kids needed to be scratched, in order to switch with their ancestors? And without them, there are no guardians for the new set of kids?

I somewhat doubt that's an issue, because technically speaking the guardians didn't get scratched, either. Their corpses are all still littered about the planets Jade shrunk down and took with her through the fourth wall.

Furthermore, we already know that there's at least a Jade after the reset that serves as the guardian for J, taking the role of his grandmother, so it stands to reason that the full set of ectobiology babies for that session was created and distributed to the proper points on their timeline.

Not Grandpa Harley. We haven't seen it yet, but at some point, he must have gone through one of the portals and into the past, so that he could die and be stuffed by Jade.

Edit: It might be possible that the new session has a reverse of whatever glitch the original troll session had, and that they aren't actually spawned in their own session, effectively being the ectobabies spawned from this one. Not sure how that would work, but I'm not really sure how it worked on the troll side of things either.

Hahaha, I guess he did get thrown out into space by Bec, didn't he?

Well, regardless, my second point still stands. We already know there's a Jade guardian in that universe, so it doesn't look like there's an issue here.

BitVyper · 10-30-2011, 02:54 AM

No no, like remember? Grandpa Harley, unstuffed and alive, is (was) in this session. It takes place earlier in his timeline than his own death.

But yeah no, doesn't interfere with your point.

POS Industries · 10-30-2011, 03:01 AM

No, I know what you're talking about, but we can already safely infer that he made it out of the session to his own point on the kids' universe's timeline before the reset due to A) his fate already having been sealed and B) Jack never catching his scent and hunting him down.

I had just forgotten that his stuffed corpse never entered the Medium.
