Of course. A life of pure unfocused Will is painful enough, it seems. He will end up being a pawn of his own power.

Thats not completely true....
The story and plot DOES need to move along as we approach 700 comics in the series...
Brian WOULD do what is expected not because it is but because it is NEEDED...
You can't just try to tell a story with a bunch of completely unexpected events overlapping one another just to impress people...
He's trying to build a worthwhile full story...

Plus some of the stuff we are expecting HAS been hinted at so there is a very valid reason why we are expecting those things...

haha, I loved the matrix reference

So its a confirmation then? The boxes in 434 ARE BM and Fighter for sure? That convo sounds like it would take place as those two are preparing to fight each other to the death and are just conversing.

But I've got to ask something. Isn't it kinda weird. I mean, in that conversation, doesn't the roles seem a bit switched? I mean, BM's the one usually bound by reality and common sense, so why is he the one that suggests the part about the grand story to history, when I've always felt that Fighter would kinda be the person who talks about that kind of stuff. I mean, he is in reality, a much smarter person then BM....

Any Ideas?

Oh, red-box is much smarter in that dialogue. Much more down-to-earth, calmer (are you trying to goad me?), more rational. Yellow-box is egomaniacal, melodramatic and delirious. Fighter was always my first thought for Red-Box, though I confess I did entertain notions of WM.

Actually, the idea of a role reversal--of Fighter being the yellow box and BM the other--appeals to me greatly, now that I think about it.

After all, the yellow box does say "Don't you hate yourself for it? For never having seen it coming until now?" and really, what would be more suprising that having FIGHTER, of all people, end up as the evil mastermind killing his friends and atempting to destroy the world?

Add in the fact that we all know Brian will always attempt to do whatever is least expected, and the multiple occasions where he shows himself to be far smarte than expected...

For one: Its not confirmed yet...
Two: BM could be having delusions of Grandure from all the power he has...

BM's new sprite is unwatchably ugly. Like that woman from "Strangers With Candy." Next thing you know, Steve Colbert will become a new main character. this does prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that even cloth exists to hurt BM.

It would be absolutely wonderful if it was the way you describe it. It's very appealing. But what to do about the "why did you do it that way" part? How would that be resolved?

I think that unlimited power would actually be Grandeur minus the Delusions

Juggy#3 · 02-02-2006, 01:22 AM

Perhaps it would be Fighter asking why BM let that happen, when he knows from personal experience that BM has plenty of magical abilities to fall back on and prevent such (like his teleporting to the iceberg)? After all, never does either box refer to itself as being either on the bottom of the Deathtrap or inside it, so we don't really know how he was referencing that.

I dunno, that's pretty weak, but I'm sure Brian could come up with others far superior.
