Just for grins, I went to the list of all archived OotS comics, closed my eyes, scrolled down and clicked randomly, just to see which strip I would open.

I opened this one (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0331.html).

Given all the discussion about the "four words" of late, the random selection seems somewhat serendipitous, no?

comic 331 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0331.html)

Fixed link. When performing copypasta on your links, it's important to double-check that only one instance of "http://" appears in the URL box. It tries to help you out by suggesting that you start your link with "http://" but if you forget to clear the box before pasting the address of the page you want, you end up with "http://http://www.giantitp.com/..." which gets you nowhere.

Thank you for pointing the broken link. It is fixed now in the top post.

My point? Just that here we all are talking about V and the four words and ultimate arcane power, and a completely random choice of an old comic brought up the comic where the oracle tells V about the four words for ultimate arcane power.

It was just a cool, weird, coinkidink is all.

I don't think the four words will be to any/all of the Three Fiends. As things stand, they are the right beings, and they are there at that time specifically to bestow arcane power upon v (the right time). The problem is, how can anyone construe 'saving the lives and souls of his (adopted) children and the life of his mate' as "all the wrong reasons"? They seem to be about as right a set of reasons as one could have.

Therefore, no four words yet, at least to Lee, Nero, and/or Cedrick.

The "wrong reasons" are easy to see here. V doesnt want power for the sake of power anymore. He wants it to save his children. While most people sell their souls for selfish reasons, V is doing it for a rightous reason. Seems like the "wrong" reason in these circumstances to me.
