We all know that the Giant is a genius. No one debates that. But recently I came to appreciate yet another facet of his genius when I realized at least one instance of such subtle foreshadowing that I didn't even realize it when it came to pass.
Naturally, there have probably already been threads like this, but I feel that now there may be more instances.
Anyway, the first instance I thought of was this:
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0102.html
Elan says "Roy has boobies." A crude, childish joke about the feat "Great Cleave," because it means Roy has "Great Cleavage." Laughed at and then brushed aside. But then:
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0153.html
Belkar reminds us of the joke. In small font.
And THEN:
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0235.html
ROY GETS BOOBIES!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next:
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0206.html
Belkar suggests that Miko might lose her paladin powers.
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0285.html
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0286.html
Here, Belkar thinks that Miko will lose her powers because killing a defenseless opponent is evil.
AND THEN:
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0407.html
She falls.
================================================== =======
So what have we learned today? Either Belkar is something of a prophet, or I'm nuts.
Or both. Should I make it a poll?
