#1132: "Yay!" - Page 6

The last batch of comics are not making much sense and I think Brian's just doing random things hoping we'd fill in the "why's" to be satisfactory to ourselves.

Until recently the comics have made sense and were relavent to the plot. The last 7 or so...just seem to be pointless, random plot developments that are undone for no reason hoping we'd chalk it up to "LOL SARDA IS A JACKASS ROFL"

Like Brian's stalling cuz he doesn't want to end it till his other comic begins to pick up and it just so happens to have occurred during a place where stalling is the last thing that should be going on.

Fighter's even acting OOC by raising arms against BM. BM has attempted to kill him several times and killed many others and Fighter never once questioned it, yet suddenly he doesn't seem to mind killing his bestest bud.

Fighter was wearing a burning RM for a while and didn't seem to care. I doubt he'd care much about WM to go from bestest buds to not hesitating to killing him.

Well, as several people have pointed out, Fighter never really sees BM killing innocent civilians, not to mention that WM is one of their friends. Seeing BM kill a friend definitely changes things. Plus, BM has never successfully killed Fighter.

As for the latest plot developments, I keep getting the impression that Sarda is pretty much going, "No, dammit! Stop killing each other. These are the guys who you're supposed to kill and are supposed to kill you. Do it right." There's also the possibility that he still needs them for something. Besides, you question this but you never questioned him making them get the orbs when he could have easily?

EDIT: Plus it did resolve one thing. It shut people the hell up about 434.

I'm betting that the Light Warriors really are the true villains of the comic, and Sarda probably has some reason why he hasn't killed them yet, it might not make any sense but he has a reason. I mean really who else could be the villain? The Light Warriors (minus Fighter) are more evil than anyone else in the comic.

It's perfectly understandishable:

Sarda wanted the orbs for some grand scheme to make himself the most powerful entity in the universe. But instead of fetching them himself, he was happened upon by The Light Warriors, who'd been railroading into accepting a quest- any quest from hi by White Mage.

Sarda disliked them instantly and decided that instead of fetching the orbs himself, it'd be more fun to torment those jerks instead, sending them repeatedly into certain death.

The only reason Sarda has resurrected Fighter and Thief is because he missed the first part of their battle. If the Light Warriors are going to kill each other, Sarda isn't going to miss a second of it. So he's making them do it once more from the top.

It may seem that way right now, but come back in about five future comics. This will more than likely be untrue.

As far as the Light Warriors being the "end boss", Sarda never actually REFERRED to the group as the "end boss". He simply labelled them "selfish monsters that need to die for the good of "everyone else" (except Fighter). Whether its implied they're the final boss or not is up to interpretation for at least a couple of days (and it probably is implied, so whatever), but this comic is chock full of selfish monsters who need to die for the good of everyone else. Granted most of them have killed eachother throughout 1130+ comics, but ANYONE can be a final boss at this point.

To put it simply, this world is full of horrible people, and the only way they can be considered "good guy(s)" is if their degree of loathsome behavior is a few notches below their current opponent(s).

As for Red Mage being evil, I submit to you the whole of the Chocobo Sex mini-arc. And the fact that "Animal Husbandry" can solve anything. Really not much else needed to prove it.

I suspect Sarda keeps bringing them back do to the fact that, back at the begining of the universe when things were very suggestable, she called Sarda the Guardian of Fate. This statement could be forcing him to make sure things end up as they were prophesised wether he wants to or not.

Stalling? I am going to have to disagree on this one. The pace of the comic seems pretty much the same here as it's ever been. I mean, there was one comic actually titled "1.4 Years = 20 Minutes of Gameplay". What's changed?

Begins to pick up? You do realize that Atomic Robo was nominated for an Eisner Award, don't you? It's not like Brian forgot to mention it. Hell, for a while there I thought the site's domain name was going to be changed to EisnerPower.com.

People don't seem to realize that 8-Bit Theater is draining Brian of (what little is left of) his soul. Plus his wallet. So the idea that he's stalling it and putting off his move to a bigger, better, more satisfying and more profitable medium is just silly.

"You're all selfis monsters who need to die for the good of everyone else."

So is Sarda going to destroy the whole fucking universe or what?

Or, Sarda could start his next sentence with "but"
