471: And then I died - Page 3

You must have edited your post. Previously it had said you wondered if BB was the yellow speaker. I think that's where this little bit of confusion came in.

Mike McC · 10-16-2004, 12:10 AM

The Warlock: Yeah, BM is the Yellow speaker. That's what shiny was talking about, what with Brian confirming it and all. shiney's speculating that the red speaker is Fighter.

darkie: No, I think that the one comic there is foreshadowing something that happens at the end of the road, much further along than the story currently is.

Now then, I have a feeling that the resolution to all of this will end up being a lot more serious than what everyone here is saying. No offense, but Brian always has a knack for doing the unexpected with the story.

Archbio · 10-16-2004, 12:25 AM

The best comic line related to BB ("stop her with your violence!") followed by a very effective dramatic moment, including BB.

Awe.

Also makes Kary extremely convincing (incidentally it's also what happened when I played the game. Over and over and over again).

MFD · 10-16-2004, 12:29 AM

The red speaker is either Fighter or RM. WM has pink textboxes, and BB has blue ones. You can see these boxes in this comic. 471 def. rules OUT BB as the red speaker.

But serious endings make Joseph Pandora cry!

Damn you Brian.

Writers need to relise that killing off a charicter only adds cheap drama to a story. You only bump off a charicter if completely nessicary and never to lead to a ending with half the charicters dead. People will say they enjoyed the story but the end will just sort of spoil it for their mind. I have a hard time reading the last book in the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy for this reason.My brain just sort of pretends the series ended with everything ok at the end of So Long and Thanks for all the Fish.

Stil I am jumping to conclusions. I should see where this takes 8BT before I decide that it is a bad thing. Still it needed to be said.

Even though I kept thinking "Well, all they'll need to do is fish his duplicate out of the lake BM dumped it in and cure him," I still teared up a little. I'm just a sad little person.

hmm...crazy idea here...BB comes back to life...but opposite...he becomes evil and becomes the fourth dark warrior, I think I remember Brian having said the 4th DW had already been introduced, and was male. This would be a definate interesting plot twist.

Personally I ask myself if Black Belt's inner speach is an exaggeration, or not. I mean, afterlife aside, you generally don't get to announce your own death like that.

Beyond that, people keep suggesting that this Black Belt's going to somehow suddenly twist the fabric of space & time, just to make himself alive again. That's not going to happen.

Not to say that this hasn't already happened.

Wow. I still hold firm to the fact that Brian is a serious and talented writer.

Aside from that, I will admit...that didn't really SOUND like Black Belt...too...I don't know. Serious. Smart. Coherent.

Krylo: Yah... but you try to think of a death speech that DOES sound like black belt
Me: How about
Me: "BLARGgurgle."
Krylo: hehe

But I digress. Who knows? We've never gotten much of a peek into BB's head.

Black Belt Down!

Not only that, but he got seriously owned, from the looks of it.

Can't wait to see :fighter: make his stand against Kary. (readies Duel of the Fates for maximum visual-audio synergy...or something).
