#1132: "Yay!" - Page 9

I don't really see why so many people are assuming that Sarda is doing this because he's a good guy or because the "Light Warriors" are the end boss. He never actually said that they were the end boss. Instead, he mostly seemed (At least to me) to be responding to Red Mage's claim that he revived them because they were good and BM was evil. It seemed more like a simple correction.

Personally, I think that he expects pretty much all of them to die. My guess is that he's going to use the orbs to summon Chaos somehow (I'm assuming that Chaos, for some reason, is beyond his reach), and expects all of the "Light Warriors" to die in the process of killing Chaos, thus eliminating two of the biggest sources of evil in the comic. Not because he's a hero or anything, but because he's basically the "Guardian of Fate" and his purpose is more or less to make things go down the way they were supposed to go down.

...Or he's just being a jackass. Either one.

The second theory that ever made a lick of sense around here!

In the long term, yes. But any detailed examination of Marvel or DC business practices of the last 5 - 10 years will show that they are only concerned with the short term.

In fact, he is the ONLY voice of reason in the group besides Black Mage whose voice of reason is slanted to the T.

Red Mage's flaw seems to be that he idly stands by while his group does terrible things... but at least he tries.

Even Fighter doesn't try.

Well, he did commit scientific atrocities on chocobos. In general, though, I'd say that Black Mage and Thief are a bad influence on Red Mage.

At least twice. His words are as trustworthy as red mage's.

I figure he is just a very very VERY powerful wizard, and nothing more.

Oh and lets not forget his blunder at the beginning of the universe.
An all knowing god he is not.

And the idea that he does not need the "light warriors" is laughable.
He finds them far more annoying than amusing.

This is a point I keep being amazed no one else raises. Everyone here keeps saying Sarda is infallible and that there's no way in hell anything could ever gain even the slightest victory over him, but he HAS shown he isn't perfect. Fighter being a Drownball champion confused him enough to take him out of action for several minutes, Ranger's dual wield-dual wield thing surprised him, he's repeatedly expressed surprise over trivial things (all the times he's said some variety of "Oh, you're still here? I would have thought you'd have left by now before I did <insert torture>", he's TRIED to indirectly kill the Light Warriors and then been pissed that his necrophone didn't get a chance to be tested...the guy can be trumped, it's just not easy.

It's the only theory that ever made a lick of sense around here, might as well!

Yeah, like Studboy said, I don't think it's possibly for an indie comic to pick up any more, or maybe any faster, than Robo already does.

in game, it was Lukahn.. who has been mysteriously absent from all of this

EDIT:

And yeah.. Sarda isn't all powerful... he's very powerful, but has flaws and short comings, but getting to one up him in a fight is what seems to be the hard thing to do

If new talent don't get chance, who will do comics in future for them?

Oh yeah. Comic book movies. They are sticking with those.

Still waiting for the big screen adaptation of Atomic Robo...

Onion Kid's mind is shattered... his heroicness is in no way guaranteed

Why people want to see rushed (action) films instead of well paced television program?

But I don't watch TV anymore and it has been couple of years since I went to cinema anyway. But can I still have an opinion about this, pretty please?
