The Order of the Stick Megathread - Page 26

Because the rift is where the Snarl exists, as established by Shinjo back during Azure City, and it's odd to say that the rift itself has a separate world inside it...next to the Snarl? Or maybe the Snarl reformed himself over time into a stable universe? Little of it really makes sense, which is why it's a huge plot choice.

Or it could be that it's Earth and the Snarl is the rift itself or some other plot thingy due to what people believe being different from the actual truth. I'm not saying I want it to be true, I'm just arguing so I can be proven wrong.

It doesn't look a thing like Earth?

Kim · 08-13-2009, 02:58 AM

It's the same color. Just because the continents are all sidieways and misshapen doesn't necessarily mean it isn't Earth. This is a comic where the characters are really detailed stick figures mind you.

My first instinct was earth, then I realized he probably wouldn't go for such an obvious cliche

Mirai Gen · 08-13-2009, 03:04 AM

Couldn't be Earth casue the continents are all screwy and taht's way too predictible.

Burlew's very good at doing exactly what you don't expect so I dont' think he'd be so simple-minded creatively.

Aerozord · 08-13-2009, 03:08 AM

unless he makes it earth because he knew we'd think he wouldn't make it earth

It's all leading up to his sequel comic, "Stick in the Hood", where the characters awkwardly try to fit in in our crazy, mixed-up world.

Meister · 08-13-2009, 03:11 AM

The planet they're already on is blue too. And if Burlew wanted this to be Earth he's talented enough to make it look like Earth. The only thing more stupid than introducing a gate to our Earth in a D&D story would be introducing a gate to a distinctly non-Earth planet, only to go "oh btw it's Earth" later on.

... just the other day I was talking to people about how, miraculously, we have an OotS thread here that has none of the outlandish just-for-the-hell-of-it theories of the official forums like "the planet has two suns" or "Haley is an archdevil", please don't take that away from me.

e: you're making fun of these theories aren't you? Yes, of course you are. I'm relieved.

Thta kind of sounds like just throwing out theories so whenthe truth is revealed you have a small chance of being all "I CALLED IT!"
